Concubine's true colors

Chapter 175 Concubine Hui Qian
Three bows and nine kowtows are definitely the highest etiquette in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When it is not a state banquet, no one will perform such a grand ceremony.

Xiao Jinxuan had been Princess Ling in her previous life, so she was familiar with the palace rules and etiquette, and Qingxiang couldn't easily fool her with just a few words.

Not to mention that Qingxiang was just a princess born to a concubine, even the first princess born to the empress, such a big gift like three worships and nine kowtows was hard to bear.

Seeing that Qing Xiang didn't ask her to get up, but still looked at her with a teasing expression, Xiao Jinxuan smiled slightly, and stood up by herself.

"Princess's words are beyond the mark. In my Great Zhou, no one is worthy of the gift of three worships and nine kowtows except the emperor and empress. Could it be that the princess thinks that her status is more noble than the empress? If this is the case, why would it be so difficult for Jinxuan to pay her respects?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan really lightly lifted her palace skirt, and then she was about to kneel down, but this time she was extremely obedient, but Qingxiang didn't dare to accept this obeisance.

She hurriedly avoided it, Qingxiang's face was very ugly, she really didn't expect that this Xiao Jinxuan was so eloquent.

Qingxiang really wanted Xiao Jinxuan to kneel in front of her in public in this imperial garden, and bow down to her.

But she got carried away for a while, and was so busy putting on the airs of the princess, but she forgot that three worships and nine kowtows are exclusive gifts for the empress. If she knew, she would definitely be punished.

So this meeting is just borrowing Qingxiang's courage, and she doesn't dare to accept this obeisance too much.

Seeing Qingxiang avoid in a hurry, Xiao Jinxuan, who had no intention of prostrating at all, immediately retracted her kneeling position, and stood up again dignifiedly and gracefully.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's composure, the anger in Qingxiang's heart rose in a flash, and she immediately waved her hand to the close maid, Huanpei, and said with a fierce look in her eyes:
"My princess just asked you to bow three times and kowtow nine times. I just said it casually. I have lived in the palace since I was a child, so I naturally know that such a big gift is not acceptable to the emperor. Who needs you, a lowly concubine, to remind you of such a trivial matter? Talkative, Huanpei will slap me hard now, I will see how arrogant she is."

Hearing this, Huanpei immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's wrist. She is the princess's maid, a concubine of a handsome mansion who is a daughter of a handsome mansion, how could she take it seriously? That's nothing compared to the emperor's daughter.

So Huan Pei didn't even think about it, a sneer flashed across her face, she raised her hand and slapped Xiao Jinxuan hard in the face.

Xiao Jinxuan's temperament is not one of waiting to die, even if this is the palace, so what, the matter of being beaten while standing, can never happen to her.

When she saw Xiao Jinxuan, she struggled to free her grasped hand, and before she could slap her hand, she pushed him to the ground.

"Ouch" screamed, the ring pendant hit her head first, and Xiao Jinxuan used all her strength, so her scalp was smashed, and the blood immediately flowed all over the ground, she was scared everywhere The maids and eunuchs couldn't help but exclaimed.

Qingxiang never thought that Xiao Jinxuan, a concubine, would dare to be so bold in the palace, knowing that she was a princess, but pushing her down and hurting her people, and not paying attention to her at all, it was so unreasonable.

In fact, it was normal for Qingxiang to be so angry. After all, Xiao Jinxuan's status was too different from hers. According to her original thought, as long as she spoke, the other party should obediently subdue and let her bully and humiliate her.

But it was obvious that Qingxiang thought too highly of himself, and at the same time looked down on Xiao Jinxuan too much.

So what if she is a princess, don't forget, Huayang is still a princess, and she died in Xiao Jinxuan's hands anyway, so Qingxiang felt that her status was precious, but in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, she really didn't take her too seriously. thing.

Ignoring Huanpei's wailing, looking at Qingxiang's astonished face, Xiao Jinxuan smiled slightly, and said in a slightly colder voice:
"Your Highness the princess may not know that Jinxuan entered the palace today because she was summoned by the concubine Liang. If I were slapped by you here, there would be marks on my face. If I want to ask the empress, the princess is not good. Explain, I wanted to tell you this truth, princess, but you, a court lady, acted too quickly and didn't give me a chance to speak. In desperation, I had no choice but to push her away first. If there is any offence, Your Royal Highness, don't blame me."

Hearing this, Qingxiang almost vomited blood from anger, now that her head was bleeding, Xiao Jinxuan acted as if nothing to do with her, and told her not to blame her.

At this time, Qingxiang really wanted to do it himself, and slapped the opponent's face several times to relieve his anger.

But the most depressing thing is that she can only think about this kind of impulse in her heart, she didn't listen to what the other party said, she entered the palace to see Concubine Liang.

In this palace, apart from Empress Xue, who is the mother of the world, Liangfei is the most respected concubine, so she really dare not leave any scars on Xiao Jinxuan's face at this moment.

Just when Qingxiang was furious and had nothing to do with Xiao Jinxuan, suddenly from behind her came a palace concubine with a beautiful appearance and gorgeous and noble clothes.

I saw this woman wearing a three-tailed phoenix-patterned hairpin, a red-gold ruby ​​walker on her head, and a bright orange peony-patterned palace skirt. Xiao Jinxuan only took one look, and confirmed the identity of the woman from the cost of her clothes. It must be the imperial concubine.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, fourth-rank concubines could only use peacock-pattern hairpins, and only third-rank concubines could enjoy phoenix-pattern hairpins.

However, although the concubine can wear the phoenix pattern, she can only wear the lowest three-tailed phoenix hairpin. The fourth concubine who ranks second can be equipped with the golden phoenix walk and the five-tailed phoenix hairpin.

Above these two, she is a first-class empress in the palace, she can wear a golden phoenix crown, and even enjoy the highest-grade nine-tailed phoenix-patterned hairpin.

Concubine's clothing expenses are always in accordance with the grades, and there are very clear rules and regulations. Anyone who is familiar with the palace rules does not need to go forward to ask. Just take a look at the other party's clothes, and you can basically conclude that the person who is coming is He Pinjie's concubine.

And when the imperial concubine approached, Xiao Jinxuan looked at the other party, whose face was three points similar to Qing Xiang's, and her heart sank immediately, knowing that this person must be Concubine Hui Qian.

This concubine Hui is Qingxiang's biological mother, and also the concubine mother of the sixth prince Zhou Xianqi, and besides these two identities, she is also Qian Ming's biological sister, the biggest backer in the palace behind the Huai'an Hou Mansion.

Xiao Jinxuan was also very depressed sometimes, and came back from rebirth. The Qian family, who had no relationship with her in her previous life, seemed to be at odds with her in this life, and came to trouble her one after another.

When she was in Yangzhou, she confronted Qian Yingluo, and after she came to the capital, she fought to the death with the entire Huai'an Hou Mansion. Now Qian Yunhong finally calmed down, and Concubine Qian Hui and her daughter came again.

Concubine Hui is a second-rank concubine, and her status is much higher than that of Qingxiang. When Xiao Jinxuan faces Qingxiang, she can be careless, but the first time she sees Concubine Hui, she moves lightly and walks towards her. The lotus lake where Xiangping was located was removed.

What a joke!That was a third-rank empress in the harem. Even if Xiao Jinxuan was calm and calm, and she was planning a strategy, with such a huge disparity in status and status, except for protecting herself as much as possible, she had no ability to resist at all.

But she hadn't taken a few steps back, and Concubine Hui, who had asked Qingxiang a few words in a low voice, had already raised her head to look at her, her peach-like intoxicating eyes burst out with intense hatred in an instant.

"This is Miss Jinxuan. I have heard of your name a long time ago. Where are you going backwards? Come on, don't stop Miss Jinxuan. Since meeting is fate, Why don't you follow my concubine and sit in my Heyun Palace."

Concubine Hui's words seemed to be asking for Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, but the words revealed that there was an irrefutable meaning in it, and the accompanying palace servants immediately stopped Xiao Jinxuan, and pushed her forward semi-forcedly. .

Xiao Jinxuan's heart is like a bright mirror. Now that this is the Imperial Garden, it's not convenient for Concubine Hui to do anything. If she is really brought to Heyun Palace, whether she can come out alive is a matter of debate.

Ignoring the two palace maids pushing her forward, Xiao Jinxuan managed to stand still, calmed down and said quickly:

"Concubine Hui Jin'an, your kind little girl appreciates it. It's just that Jinxuan has already taken the first step today and has an appointment with Concubine Liang. As for Heyun Palace, I can't go today, so if there is nothing else, my little girl will go Take your leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to leave quickly, but the two court ladies behind her stopped her firmly, and Concubine Hui also stepped forward at this time, and grabbed her wrist immediately.

"You girl, my concubine kindly invites you, but you don't appreciate it at all. In fact, you and I are not strangers. After all, when my Qi'er was in Yangzhou, he was often taken care of by you. Now he has been demoted to bitter cold. As his mother and concubine, I naturally want to treat you well for Qier."

When Concubine Hui said this, the hatred in her eyes became stronger. When she first entered the palace, she was indeed spoiled for a while because of her youth and beauty. I heard the old man cry.

When a younger woman was selected into the palace, her favor gradually disappeared, and Concubine Hui felt that she was most fortunate to have given birth to the prince Zhou Xianqi. There is dependence.

But now, because of Qian Yingluo's death, Zhou Xianqi was wronged and became a murderer. He could not be crowned king in this life, and he stayed away from her side and went to a poor place to suffer. The ones who made all of this were Prince Rui and Xiao Jinxuan two people.

When Xiao Jinxuan was outside the palace, Concubine Hui couldn't do anything to her. Now that she finally caught Xiao Jinxuan in the palace, she naturally refused to miss this opportunity easily.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was not walking forward no matter what, Concubine Hui immediately snorted coldly, and the sharp and thin nails on the opponent's wrist immediately stabbed firmly at Xiao Jinxuan's snowy wrist.

Concubine Hui's nails are very well maintained on weekdays, so they are sharp and long. Therefore, when she exerts force on her hands, she has already scratched Xiao Jinxuan's skin without much effort, and a little bit of blood even ran along her nails , Gradually seeped out from the damaged skin.
