Concubine's true colors

Chapter 105 Prince Rui's Message
While talking with Xiao Jinxuan, Xiangping pulled the other party behind him, smiled coquettishly, and looked at Princess Huayang.

"Auntie, my imperial brother is not here today, but Xiangping is here. In front of my princess, if you dare to hurt Miss Jinxuan, let alone my niece, I will disobey you."

Xiangping's words were quite blunt, but in terms of status, she was the favorite daughter of Emperor Ming, and her mother was one of the four concubines, the only daughter of Concubine Liang.

When Zhou Xianrui faced Shang Huayang, because he was an adult prince and walked in the court, if it was reported that he disrespected his elders and despised the reputation of the former emperor's daughter, it would be quite unfavorable to him, and he would even be seized by political opponents to attack him. he.

And this is also the reason why Xiao Jinxuan stopped Zhou Xianrui when he wanted to deal with Huayang last time. Now that the two have teamed up, she will never see Zhou Xianrui in trouble because of personal grievances.

But Zhou Xianrui's worries at the beginning had no effect on the Eighth Princess.

Xiangping is just a princess in the deep palace, and she is not involved in government affairs. None of the imperial officials will be free, so they have nothing to impeach her, and they will hold on to her faults. In addition, the Emperor Ming loves her. He didn't take Huayang seriously.

After all, Emperor Ming had quite a few half-sisters, and the Eighth Princess had always had many aunts. Hua Yang might be able to put on airs as a princess in front of outsiders, but when she was the princess of the first emperor, she was the princess of Xiangping. At that time, it was indeed not enough to watch.

Therefore, what the eighth princess said was not polite, after Huayang heard it, not only was he not angry, but he gritted his teeth and smiled.

"Xiangping, look at what you said, my aunt was just playing around with Miss Jinxuan just now, how could she really hurt her, you are overthinking."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yang quickly signaled that the accompanying guards withdrew, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

But the eighth princess, seeing her like this, still snorted coldly.

"Aunt Huayang, last time my brother, I cared about your status, so I didn't bother with you, but I, Xiangping, hate others the most and use my status to overwhelm others. From now on, Auntie, don't make things difficult for Miss Jinxuan , otherwise I will tell my father and let him decide."

Knowing that Xiangping's temperament is as fierce as fire, Hua Yang knew that if the other party said it, he would definitely dare to do it, so he immediately smiled and promised that he would never embarrass Xiao Jinxuan again.

After warning the aunt Huayang, Xiangping held Xiao Jinxuan's hand tightly, and then looked at Xiao Jinyu again.

Xiangping's crisp voice became a little colder again

"Miss Jinyu, I've heard that you are both talented and beautiful. When I saw you today, your appearance is really good, but it's really hard to see your talent. As a descendant of the handsome mansion, you just burst into tears. You look like a shrew. It's really embarrassing." Now, if I were you, I would be ashamed to still stand here, I would have found a crack in the ground and crawled in."

Xiao Jinyu, who was going to watch how Xiao Jinxuan was made things difficult by Huayang, never imagined that the eighth princess would come to disturb this good show.

But now, the other party not only put pressure on Hua Yang, but also made fun of her. This sentence was even more ugly than a sentence, and immediately made Xiao Jinyu blush with shame and anger.

She thinks that Xiao Jinyu hears flattery no matter where she goes, but now she is called a shrew in public, and the person who made such an evaluation of her is a princess, which makes her want to refute , unable to speak.

The other party is the queen of the royal family, and Xiao Jinyu's status is high, so she can't compare with Xiangping. Therefore, let alone Xiangping calling her a shrew, even saying she is a slut, Xiao Jinyu can only let her go.

Seeing that Xiao Jinyu didn't dare to reply even half a word, a successful smile flashed across Xiangping's face, and then he turned his head to Xiao Jinxuan and blinked.

Looking at Xiangping's agile appearance, Xiao Jinxuan smiled dumbly, and suddenly felt that this princess is really good at rectifying people.

Sure enough, this child who grew up in the palace did mature early. Xiangping's age seemed to be about the same as hers, but Xiao Jinxuan knew that her current calm temperament was caused by her two lifetimes.

But this eighth princess, at such an age, is so eloquent and eloquent. When she manages people, she is also majestic, royal and dignified, and it is no wonder that Emperor Ming favors her. She is indeed very smart and intelligent. .

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan smiling, Xiangping was stunned for a moment. In the palace, she had seen all kinds of beauties, but there seemed to be too many things mixed in the smiles of these people, and Xiao Jinxuan, Wen Wanzhong had a cold smile, it was the first time she had seen it.

Thinking of Xiangping's temperament, outgoing and lively, Xiao Jinxuan's calm and cold attitude aroused her interest.

People are like this, although people with the same personality will get along very well, but it is far from being as attractive to each other as two people with completely different personalities.

So seeing that the cold Xiao Jinxuan actually smiled at herself, Xiangping even felt a little cheered in his heart.

And now Xiangping could see that the sisters of the Xiao family had a very bad relationship, so she immediately put on a straight face, ready to help Xiao Jinxuan and express her anger.

So when Xiangping turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinyu, who was standing there with tears in his eyes, who was so pitiful, he immediately snorted again.

"Miss Jinyu, the princess only said a few words to you, and you just kept crying here. It's really unlucky to have such a mournful face. I really don't know what you have learned about the upbringing of your daughter-in-law."

Xiao Jinyu, who was targeted again and again by Xiangping, was shaking his hands in anger, but he still had to bear it. The laughing eyes of the crowd lowered their heads as if they were being taught.

But when Xiao Jinyu lowered her eyebrows, she gave Xiangping and Xiao Jinxuan a resentful look, and swore in her heart that she would return all the humiliation she had suffered now.

Just as she was thinking so, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly glanced at the back of the garden, a locked red wooden door, because she often accompanied the old lady to pilgrimage, so Xiao Jinyu was very familiar with the Guanyin Temple, and knew that the door was the one leading to the back garden. mountain.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in her eyes, and then Xiao Jinyu's mouth curled into a sinister smile, but the moment she raised her head, she suppressed it again.

Then I saw Xiao Jinyu, and bowed to Xiangping in a polite manner.

"Princess Eight, it was Jinyu's fault just now, and I made you angry. As an apology, I know that there is a natural fountain in the back mountain of Guanyin Temple. The water flows continuously in all seasons. There are groups of koi in the water. In this spring, there is also a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise, which can be seen by those who are predestined, the princess would like to see it."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was silent for a long time, couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

Based on her understanding of Xiao Jinyu, this sister-in-law is not a magnanimous person, and she pays great attention to face. Now, the eighth princess is making sarcastic remarks one after another. It stands to reason that Xiao Jinyu should find a reason to avoid it directly. The way it should be done.

But now, Xiao Jinyu not only didn't leave, but treated the previous sarcasm as if he didn't hear it, and instead invited the eighth princess to play, just listening to it, felt a little strange.

But before Xiao Jinxuan could remind her, Xiangping's lively character was fully revealed at this moment.

It's rare to go out to play in the palace once. Hearing that there are ten thousand-year-old tortoises, Xiangping's interest was immediately attracted. Although Xiao Jinyu didn't like her, she was very curious about the fountain mentioned by the other party.

Immediately nodded, let Xiao Jinyu lead the way quickly, while Xiangping pulled Xiao Jinxuan to follow behind, ready to go to see the fountain immediately.

Xiao Jinyu agreed with all her mouth, and called Xiao Shani, and unlocked the wooden door leading to the back mountain, so she took Xiangping, and other ladies from various prefectures she was interested in, up the mountain.

With Xiangping, the favorite princess of Emperor Ming, Huayang was overwhelmed in everything, so naturally he didn't want to stay by her side to be angry, and separated from everyone on the grounds that there was something else to do.

The road to the mountain is not difficult to walk because it has been repaired. A group of twenty or so people walked halfway up the mountain in a short time. According to Xiao Jinyu's introduction, the fountain is located on the edge of the mountain, so you have to go to There, it will take some time to walk.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was being pulled by Xiangping all the time, walked for a while, then deliberately slowed down and put a distance away from the crowd.

This made Xiangping, who was following her, unavoidably ask with concern: "Miss Jinxuan, are you tired? If you can't walk, I'll tell everyone to stop, and we can rest for a while."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled and shook her head.

"Your Highness, I don't feel tired. It's just that I have to say something to you alone. It's inconvenient for others to hear, so I have to slow down."

Then, without waiting for Xiangping to ask, Xiao Jinxuan continued in a soft voice:

"It's really a coincidence that the princess came today. If I remember correctly, my grandmother invited people from all the palaces. In order to avoid suspicion, she didn't invite people from the palace, but you came, the eighth princess. I'm afraid these are His Highness Prince Rui. It was arranged intentionally, I don’t know if he asked the princess to come, but what’s the rush.”

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, with a calm smile and that not-so-beautiful but very gentle face, Xiangping really became more and more pleasing to the eye, and what the other party said made her completely admire her.

Because today, she was exactly as the other party said, it was indeed Zhou Xianrui who called her here, and the emperor brother did ask her to bring a letter to Xiao Jinxuan, Xiangping couldn't figure it out, how did Xiao Jinxuan guess it of.

Then I saw the eighth princess, with an expression of admiration on her face, and hurriedly asked:

"Miss Jinxuan, you are so amazing. I have always admired my fifth brother the most, because I think he is the smartest person in the world, and nothing can trouble him. When I saw you today, I just Knowing that you are a frog in a well, your mentality is not inferior to my fifth brother."

While talking, Xiangping took out a roll of pocket letters written in light gauze from his sleeve, and handed it to Xiao Jinxuan secretly.

"What's in it, Brother Wu didn't tell me, don't look at me, I'm used to messing around, but I didn't open this letter to read it, but when Brother Wu found me, he only said it was an urgent matter, so I came right away."
