Concubine's true colors

Chapter 179 Concubine Hui Surrenders
In fact, Concubine Liang's words are true. She was born in a poor family, and her ancestors counted up to six generations, and there is no official worship above the second rank. In terms of her status alone, it is no different if she wants to be the fourth concubine. Yu idiots talk about dreams.

And when Zhou Xianyu pointed out that he had chosen Concubine Liang, he told Emperor Ming that he would choose her as his concubine mother. Since then, Concubine Liang, who had fallen out of favor for many years and was almost forgotten by Emperor Ming, gradually gained favor again. And changed from concubine to concubine.

Even when she gave birth to the Ninth Prince Zhou Xianchen, the Emperor Ming used this as an excuse to promote her to her position next time, making her the current good concubine.

For her being able to ascend to the position of the fourth concubine, inside and outside the harem, everyone lamented the deep kindness of the concubine Liang. In fact, only she knew that Zhou Xianyu brought all of this to her.

So for the seventh prince who was adopted by her side, Concubine Liang loved Zhou Xianyu a little more than her own child, and the relationship between mother and son was also deepening day by day, and there was never half a gap.

Although Zhou Xianyu's childhood experience made Xiao Jinxuan feel very uncomfortable, but now that the other party can be taken care of by Concubine Liang, it is considered a blessing among misfortunes.

At least compared to her, after rebirth, although her biological mother, Yang Shi, avoided the fate of early death in her previous life, she was always lukewarm and very annoying to her. Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan felt that Zhou Xianyu's current situation Not too bad.

Concubine Liang was feeling sad when she saw Xiao Jinxuan, but in a few moments, her expression returned to normal. This kind of free-spirited disposition was really rare among girls of the same age.

Immediately, Concubine Liang really liked Xiao Jinxuan more and more, so she hurriedly said with a smile:

"Look at me, I actually said some old things, which made everyone feel sad. This person has become old, and he has become a chatterer. Jinxuan, don't be annoyed. In fact, you Speaking of this, I just hope that you can understand Yu'er better, and if you can really come together in the future, I will be happy for you as well."

Concubine Liang's statement now is actually to appease Xiao Jinxuan, and secretly told the other party that Zhou Xianyu's gift of marriage is not without a chance, and she herself does not approve of this marriage, and will do her best in the middle for this matter. Circumvention.

Xiao Jinxuan's thoughts are clear, how can she not understand the meaning of Concubine Liang's words, but the gap between her and Zhou Xianyu is not just a marriage gift, the change of fate and dragging down the other party is what she fears the most place of concern.

Therefore, even though Concubine Liang had made her position very clear, Xiao Jinxuan just pretended that she didn't understand what she said, and got up and said:
"Your Majesty's words really terrified me. Now that His Royal Highness has bestowed the marriage, what Jinxuan can do is to sincerely bless him as you do. As for me and him, it is only a shallow friendship, and it will never be possible in this life. There is no marriage, and Jinxuan is just a concubine from a humble background, if I become His Highness's concubine, I am afraid that in the royal family, Yuwang will not be able to hold his head up."

Xiao Jinxuan did not covet the position of Concubine Yu at all, and refused decisively. This surprised Concubine Liang, but it was also expected by her.

Because after Zhou Xianrui came to see her that day, Concubine Liang told the eldest son about her desire to summon Xiao Jinxuan.

At that time, Zhou Xianrui had already told her that besides the marriage offer, Xiao Jinxuan herself was unwilling to accept Zhou Xianyu because of unresolved knots in her heart.

Concubine Liang felt very strange at that time, after all, to have the opportunity to marry into the palace as a concubine, this is a good thing that many people have to fight for, she can't understand, how could someone refuse.

Immediately under her careful questioning, Zhou Xianrui explained how Xiao Jinxuan was called a disaster star when she was in Yangzhou, and later concluded that Zhou Xianyu's serious injury was caused by her because of a letter, and he alienated Zhou Xianyu from then on. Tell Concubine Liang all about it.

Therefore, seeing Xiao Jinxuan pretending to be confused and politely rejecting her kindness, Concubine Liang was not annoyed, knowing that it was not convenient for her to intervene in matters of affection, so she had no choice but to stop talking about it, and instead pointed at Xiangping. wave.

"Since Ms. Jinxuan said that she and Yu'er are just casual friends, then I will not interfere with the affairs of you juniors. It's just that it's rare to enter the palace, so you can stay and accompany Xiang'er. It will save her too much money." Sticking to you, and then ran out of the palace and didn't come back for a few days, I, as a mother and concubine, can't rest assured."

Since coming to Yanqing Palace, Concubine Liang has treated each other with courtesy and sincerity, so naturally Xiao Jinxuan would not ignore the other party's request, and immediately agreed.

Then Concubine Liang really didn't mention Zhou Xianyu's matter, she took Xiao Jinxuan to play around the palace during the day, and in the evening she even cooked herself and made some delicious dishes, and after nightfall, Xiao Jinxuan and Xiangping bid farewell to Concubine Liang and went down to rest together.

Here at Yanqing Palace, the whole day was full of joy and harmony, but Xiao Jinxuan was in a happy mood, while some people were very unhappy about it.

Seeing that the genius was black, Concubine Hui left her Heyun Palace, took the maids and eunuchs, and walked to the Queen's Fengxiang Palace.

On the way there, she turned her head to the eunuch who was following her and said in a displeased tone:

"Have you really found out? The Concubine Liang really kept that little bitch Xiao Jinxuan in the palace, and even cooked for her. I really don't know how that little bitch got into her eyes. With Concubine Liang protecting her, it will be difficult to deal with Xiao Jinxuan."

The eunuch who followed Concubine Hui was named Dou Wenhai, the eunuch in charge of Heyun Palace, and Concubine Hui Qian's confidant.

Seeing Concubine Hui's face full of unwillingness, Dou Wenhai immediately bowed his waist and said out of counsel:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry so much. Although the good concubine is one of the four concubines, she is not the master of the harem. As long as the one on the Phoenix Seat is willing to help, the Empress is afraid that she will not be able to deal with a little concubine. .”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui's frowning brows, instead of stretching, snorted coldly and said:
"It's not easy to ask the empress to take action. Although Empress Xue expressed her intention to win me over today, but the other party is a cunning fox. This concubine covets the position of virtuous concubine, but my brother Qian Ming died so miserable You don’t know, don’t you think he belongs to the faction of Empress Xue and Prince Tai. Although it is said that the elder brother hanged himself, I don’t think it’s that simple. If I surrender to Empress Xue, I am afraid that the other party may not protect me."

Dou Wenhai is a eunuch with a long experience in the palace, he did not know that Concubine Hui's worries were indeed justified, but after thinking about it, he still tried to persuade him:

"Even so, Empress Xue's house is the prime minister's mansion, with its back against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Now you are looking at this harem, nearly half of the concubines who are favored are all picked up by Empress Xue with one hand. The slave looks at it. If you don't attach yourself to Empress Xue, your empress will definitely become the target of the opponent's eradication in the future, and it will be even worse at that time."

In fact, Dou Wenhai didn't say these words, but Concubine Hui knew it in her heart.

Now Concubine Liang is the only one of the four concubines. In fact, there were Concubine Shu and Concubine De, but these two were punished by Queen Xue for breaking the palace rules four years ago and two years ago, and one of them was thrown into the cold palace. , and the other directly took a glass of poisoned wine and didn't even save his life.

Especially that Concubine Shu, who was Empress Yuxian, an old man who married into the palace to serve in the palace before Emperor Ming became emperor, but now she is still stripped of her concubine status, and she lives the rest of her life in the cold palace, and this is enough to see , this Empress Xue's wrist and skills are amazing.

While speaking, Concubine Hui also came to Fengxiang Palace. After the transmission, Queen Xue summoned her in the main hall.

As soon as she saw Empress Xue sitting in the hall with a full body and demeanor, Concubine Hui hurriedly moved to the other side, and then respectfully bowed down. .

As for Empress Xue, after receiving this gift, she asked Concubine Hui to get up, and said with a smile on her face:

"It's so late, I thought my sister wouldn't be invited to come after the Royal Garden. Since I'm here, please sit down. I can't finish what I want to tell you in a few words, and I can't tell you to keep talking." It’s not like standing like this.”

Respectfully thanked Empress Xue again for giving her a seat, Concubine Hui hurriedly sat down and said with a chuckle:
"The queen's concubine invited me. There is no reason for the concubine not to come. I don't know what you want to tell me. The concubine will listen attentively."

After receiving the tea from the maidservant, Xue Hou took a sip, and then said leisurely:
"Actually, I asked you to come here because I can't bear to see some things. My sister is still kept in the dark, and what I want to talk about is the cause of your brother Qian Ming's death. I think Concubine Hui still doesn't know about it. In fact, Huai'an At that time, he did not die by hanging himself, but was strangled to death, and the person who did it was Xiao Jinxuan, the concubine of the commander who killed the sixth prince and was relegated to a place of bitter cold and separated your mother and child."

Hearing this, Concubine Hui almost dropped the teacup in her hand to the ground, she immediately ignored the palace rules, stepped forward and asked urgently:
"Empress, you are serious. My elder brother died at the hands of Xiao Jinxuan. She was just a concubine. My elder brother was a Marquis. How could he die tragically at her hands?"

Seeing Concubine Hui staring at her with wide eyes, Empress Xue immediately glanced at her, and said in a calm voice:
"It seems that what I said in the future seems to be unable to win the trust of you, Concubine Hui. Since you don't believe it, then just treat it as a joke with you, but I advise my sister, don't underestimate Xiao Jinxuan, she It's true that she is a concubine, but when she was in Yangzhou, it was this lowly girl born to Xiaofu's concubine who killed Qian Yingluo, your good niece who was the head of the county, and planted it on the sixth prince. On her head, her methods are powerful, so why would it be any surprise that Huai Anhou would fall into her hands."

Seeing that Empress Xue's words were affirmative, and Concubine Hui had also heard about Xiao Jinxuan's difficulties from the Sixth Prince, the original unbelievability gradually disappeared, replaced by endless hatred.

Immediately Concubine Hui knelt in front of Empress Xue, begging in a miserable voice:

"Empress, since you know everything, you must be your concubine and my Qian family's master. After all, my elder brother had always served His Highness the Second Highness when he was alive, and now he died tragically in the hands of that bitch Xiao Jinxuan." In your hand, you can't ignore it."

Hearing this, Empress Xue couldn't help laughing:
"Hui Concubine, get up, since I have told you this, I am ready to help. After all, Marquis Huai'an has done a lot for my Tai'er. How can he be called a person who has meritorious deeds like him?" He died in vain. It's just that as the master of the harem, I can't do everything myself. Now Xiao Jinxuan is staying in the palace. Don't miss such a good opportunity, sister. Just let go and do it for you. Waiting to deal with it."
