Concubine's true colors

Chapter 176
The skin on the wrist was forcibly pierced by the fingertips. The pain was really piercing. Xiao Jinxuan even felt that the pain was much better than this one when Hua Yang scalded her with hot water last time.

Couldn't help but gasped, Xiao Jinxuan's face turned pale from the pain, but the one making things difficult now was a third-rank concubine, if she resisted a little, it would be a bigger crime, and the other party would find an excuse , forcibly added to her body.

At this time, Concubine Hui, seeing Xiao Jinxuan's wrist bleeding, and she could only grit her teeth to hold on, felt particularly relieved in her heart.

Regardless of the bright red impatiens flower juice smeared on the nails, which gradually faded and faded away, she used force again, as if wishing to pierce all the slender nails into Xiao Jinxuan's flesh to relieve her hatred.

Now Xiao Jinxuan couldn't bear it any longer, she frowned and snorted, just about to push Concubine Hui away first, when she acted accordingly, Xiangping's voice came anxiously from behind her.

"Concubine Hui, what are you holding Jinxuan on? She is a guest I brought into the palace. You are not going to make things difficult for her in front of this princess, are you?"

Holding the picked white lotus in her hand, Xiangping rushed over in a hurry. When she got close, when she saw Xiao Jinxuan's bleeding and injured wrist, she immediately gave Concubine Hui a hard push.

Concubine Hui knew that Xiangping was impulsive, but she never expected that the other party would dare to push her, and immediately leaned back with a cry of surprise, and because of this, Xiao Jinxuan could be regarded as begging the persecution of the other party's nails.

Ignoring the concubine Hui's people on their backs, Xiangping quickly lifted Xiao Jinxuan's wrist, seeing the four clear wounds pierced by fingernails and bleeding out, she immediately blamed herself and even the circles of her eyes were red.

"Jinxuan is all my fault. She has nothing to do to pick flowers. If I stayed by your side all the time, you wouldn't have to suffer like this now."

But Xiangping's voice just fell, and Concubine Hui, who was supported by the maid to stand firm, immediately shouted angrily:

"Even if your Eighth Princess is by her side, you can't stop this concubine from inviting people to Heyun Palace."

Concubine Hui, who was eager to avenge Zhou Xianqi in her heart, was already higher than Xiangping in terms of status, so she would not estimate the other party's face, and immediately waved her hand, and was about to forcibly take Xiao Jinxuan away.

Seeing the maids and eunuchs of Heyun Palace surrounding them, Xiangping snorted angrily. She didn't want the lotus in her hand, and threw it at the group of people, and protected Xiao Jinxuan behind her. Who dares to step forward, She will try her best to overthrow anyone who comes to the ground.

Concubine Hui could ignore Xiangping, but the surrounding palace people dared not hurt the eighth princess, so they couldn't help restraining their hands and feet, and they were really deadlocked for a while.

Now it can be seen that Concubine Hui was furious, and Qingxiang beside her was also anxious, so she stood up immediately, stepped forward and grabbed Xiangping's hand personally.

"Bamei, you'd better leave your business alone. My mother and concubine just want to invite this girl to Heyun Palace to talk. Why are you blocking me like this? Why don't you come and chat with my sister and me."

After pestering Xiangping to death, Qingxiang urgently urged the palace servants behind him:
"What are you still doing, why don't you bring Xiao Jinxuan over to me? My eighth sister is playing with me here, so I won't stop you guys."

Seeing that Xiangping was under control, the palace people, who had no fear, were about to attack Xiao Jinxuan immediately, and when the situation was urgent, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "The concubine Liang is here."

It was just a few short words, but everyone present immediately stopped their movements and knelt down on the ground in unison. Even Concubine Hui had to bow her knees and pay respects after her face showed unwillingness.

Concubine Liang couldn't help but take a look at Xiangping when she came close. Seeing that her daughter was safe, she was secretly relieved, and then looked at Concubine Hui with a smile.

"Sister Hui, please get up. Now the imperial garden is full of flowers. I think my sister is the same as me. I come here to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the fragrance. It's just a good view. If something unpleasant happens , then it will disappoint the beauty at hand.”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui secretly hated Concubine Liang for coming at such an inappropriate time. As long as the other party was in the evening, she would be able to take Xiao Jinxuan away. , is not to let her mind.

Although she was thinking viciously in her heart, Concubine Hui didn't show anything on her face, and said with a flowery smile:

"Sister Liang Concubine is right. When she saw Xiangping and Miss Jinxuan here, she couldn't help joking with them, but she seemed to have misunderstood. Nothing unpleasant happened here. "

Hearing this, Xiangping, who had already gotten rid of Qingxiang's entanglement, immediately raised Xiao Jinxuan's wrist, and then complained to Concubine Liang:

"Mother Concubine, don't listen to her nonsense, look at Jinxuan's wrist, it was injured by Concubine Hui, if you are a step late, maybe she will make things difficult for her two daughters."

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's bloody white wrist, Concubine Liang frowned unbearably. After all, she was the one who summoned the other party to enter the palace today. If she hadn't entered the palace, Concubine Hui would not have made things difficult for her.

Immediately Concubine Liang blamed herself and felt uneasy. Although it was disrespectful and inappropriate to argue with a concubine in public, she still decided to seek justice for Xiao Jinxuan.

But Concubine Liang hadn't opened her mouth to question Concubine Hui, but Xiao Jinxuan retracted her raised wrist into her cuff with a smile, and then said in a gentle voice:

"May the concubine Liang be blessed with golden safety. Please don't take what the eighth princess said just now. The injury on Jinxuan's hand was not caused by Concubine Hui. If it was for me that the two empresses caused a misunderstanding, then Jinxuan would have committed a crime."

She glanced at Xiao Jinxuan in surprise, Concubine Liang really didn't expect that this teenage girl in front of her could say such decent words.

After all, anyone who looked at the wound would know that it was definitely not caused by the other party himself, but for the sake of the overall situation, seeing that someone could make the decision, she still chose to forbear and give in. This calmness immediately called Concubine Liang in her heart, and she had a great feeling for Xiao Jinxuan. Good impression.

However, Xiangping's temperament is one that can't rub the sand in her eyes. She doesn't think about it at all. If the second concubine is arguing endlessly in the imperial garden, what will happen afterwards? She only knows that Jinxuan is her good friend. Sister, now that she has been wronged, she should be given justice.

Therefore, Xiangping saw that both Xiao Jinxuan and her mother and concubine looked like they didn't want to pursue it any further, so she immediately said dissatisfied:
"Jinxuan, don't be afraid. My mother and concubine are here, and no one will dare to bully you. I saw with my own eyes just now that it was Concubine Hui who was holding on to your wrist tightly, but why don't you dare to hold onto your wrist?" Speak out."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Concubine Hui who was standing there calmly, then she looked at Xiangping and shook her head apologetically:

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. Just now, Concubine Hui caught me, but she was concerned about my injury, which is not what you think."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Jinxuan ignored her, Xiangping's angry little appearance stepped forward a few steps to Concubine Hui, and she gave a blessing with a smile.

"Concubine Hui, I trouble you to take good care of me today. Jinxuan will never forget this kindness. As for Heyun Palace and his party, I'm afraid I will go flawlessly today. Don't be impatient, empress, that day will come soon."

Concubine Hui has lived in the harem for many years. Xiao Jinxuan's words had a pun, and she naturally heard the coldness in the other's words. She immediately smiled contemptuously, and said disdainfully:
"Okay, the concubine is waiting for you to come. I want to see when this day will arrive."

Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan has a gentle temperament, she is obviously not a weak person to be bullied, and Concubine Hui will be even more arrogant now, Immediately, Concubine Liang stood between the two of them, calming down the atmosphere and preaching:

"Okay, Miss Jinxuan is the daughter of the handsome mansion, and there will definitely be many opportunities to come to the palace in the future. Today, I invited her to the palace, so I will take that person away first. Sister Huifei continues Stay here to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the fragrance, and my sister will not disturb your elegant mood."

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Liang led Xiangping and Xiao Jinxuan away under the salutation of Concubine Hui and other palace officials.

After the figures of the three of them completely disappeared from her eyes, the smile on Concubine Hui's face was hard to maintain. With a wave of the long sleeves of the palace skirt, she stretched out her hand and pinched a peony beside her in her hand. Pulling, the flower will be torn off, and it will be crushed instantly.

Then she saw that she was extremely unconvinced, and said with a sarcastic grin:

"Concubine Liang, what kind of thing are you to show off in front of me? A shabby girl from a poor family, didn't she just rely on staying in the palace for a long time and gave birth to two sons for the Holy Majesty? Otherwise, you are worthy of me." As one of the four concubines, this concubine is a legitimate daughter from the Marquis Mansion, but now you have temporarily suppressed me, sooner or later I will become the first concubine of the four concubines, and it will be up to me how I deal with you."

Knowing that Concubine Hui would be angry, even Qingxiang didn't dare to speak out to persuade her, but everyone didn't dare to speak out, which didn't mean that no one dared to speak out.

Suddenly, behind the rockery surrounded by flowers, there was a murmur of laughter, and then a woman in a bright yellow phoenix robe came out with a small smile on her face.

Concubine Hui, who was already annoyed when she heard the laughter, was about to get angry immediately, but when she saw the future clearly, she immediately stopped breathing and knelt down on the ground in fear.

"The concubine sees the queen empress, the empress empress is a thousand years old, Jin'an, Huatai Wanfu."

That's right, the person who hid behind the rockery just now and laughed softly is none other than the current Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xue Shi.

She is the second empress of Emperor Ming. According to ordinary people, she is the wife of Emperor Ming's continuation, not the first wife of the other party. Therefore, in terms of age, she is 11 years younger than Emperor Ming.

Seeing Concubine Hui knelt in front of her with some embarrassment, Empress Xue's eyes flashed with dismay, and she said solemnly and kindly:

"My sisters don't need to be too polite. Concubine Hui, get up. As for what you said just now, although I heard clearly, I don't feel that what you said is wrong. Apart from my younger sister, I also feel that what you said is wrong. , No one really deserves to sit in this position.”
