Concubine's true colors

Chapter 182 Concubine Hui Offers Wine
Looking at Zhou Xianyu who came in front of her, although she hadn't seen her for a few days, Xiao Jinxuan felt as if it had been a few years, and the unconcealable longing in her heart couldn't help gushing out, stimulating her heart to ache.

Bending her knees, Xiao Jinxuan was about to greet her, but just as she moved, Zhou Xianyu stretched out her hand to support her.

The other party even grabbed her injured wrist, and asked with an even more gloomy expression: "Who told this king about your injury."

Xiao Jinxuan wanted to pull her wrist back, but Zhou Xianyu refused to let go. In desperation, she had no choice but to calmly reply:

"No one hurt me, I accidentally cut my wrist, Your Highness, please let me go, I'm fine, don't worry about it."

Looking at the still sneering Xiao Jinxuan in front of him, Zhou Xianyu remembered the cold-blooded and heartless words that he said in the other party's pavilion that night at the palace banquet.

Zhou Xianyu was not angry in his heart, and after that night, he repeatedly told himself not to forget Xiao Jinxuan, this cruel and vicious woman.

The other party is simply teasing his feelings and playing with him in the palm of his hand, it is not worth his foolishness.

But he clearly warned himself in his heart, but now after he really saw the other party, Zhou Xianyu discovered that the so-called hatred in his heart these days is actually endless longing.

Even at this time, Zhou Xianyu was thinking, even if Xiao Jinxuan was pretending to be arrogant before, and wanted to refuse but still welcome, so what.

This woman has a very dark heart. Even in this life, he has been deceived and used by the other party. Zhou Xianyu suddenly felt that he didn't care so much about it, because what he likes is the Xiao Jinxuan in front of him. He loves the other party. Clever and cunning, he can also tolerate all the shortcomings of the other party.

Especially when Zhou Xianyu saw the wound on Xiao Jinxuan's wrist, even the last bit of loss and annoyance in Zhou Xianyu's heart turned into distress and anger.

It didn't matter when he wasn't in the capital before, but now that he is still in Changping, Xiao Jinxuan was injured right under his eyelids, how could he bear it.

Immediately seeing that Xiao Jinxuan refused to say it, Zhou Xianyu knew what the other party didn't want to say, it was useless even if he forced him, immediately ignored the other party's resistance, he pulled Xiao Jinxuan and walked to Xiangping's side.

Then handed Xiao Jinxuan's injured wrist directly to Xiangping's eyes, and Zhou Xianyu asked with an ugly expression:
"Bamei, tell me who caused her injury. If you dare to tell a lie, believe it or not, Seventh brother will throw you out right now, and throw you into a tree so that you can't get down for a day."

Xiangping was dizzy, and never dared to go to high places. Seeing Zhou Xianyu's fierce look, she swallowed in fright, and gave them all without hesitation.

"Seventh Brother, it's Concubine Hui, she used her nails to forcibly clasp Jinxuan's wrist, which hurt her, but Concubine Mu has already given Jinxuan the best wound medicine, and when the scabs fall off, There won't be any trace left, don't be so angry, it looks scary."

Hearing these words, Zhou Xianyu nodded in understanding, then sneered evilly, pulled Xiao Jinxuan, and immediately walked out of the hall.

The ones who came with Zhou Xianyu were actually Zhou Xianrui and his wife. Seeing that the seventh younger brother was about to go out with a sullen expression, the two of them hurried forward to stop him.

Shen Wenqing even supported Xiao Jinxuan, frowned and said dissatisfiedly:
"Seventh brother, you still don't let go, you don't care about the seriousness, you are opening Jinxuan's wound, and you will have to raise her again."

And Zhou Xianrui also stretched out his hand, and after stopping Zhou Xianyu, he said with a serious face:

"Today, my concubine is hosting a banquet. What are you messing around with? Why don't you sit down quickly? If you have something to say after the family banquet is over, it will make everyone unhappy. How can you make my concubine feel at ease."

Concubine Liang's children, including Zhou Xianyu's stepson, are extremely respectful and filial to her.
Therefore, upon hearing this, Zhou Xianyu, who originally wanted to lead Xiao Jinxuan to settle accounts with Concubine Hui, paused in his footsteps. After all, he was thinking of Concubine Liang, and suppressed the anger in his heart for the time being.

At this moment, Shen Wenqing also pushed Zhou Xianyu's hand away, and pulled Xiao Jinxuan to sit down, which calmed down the turmoil.

But Zhou Xianyu was appeased, while Mrs. Gu's eyes almost popped out. She lived to this age, and she could understand many things just by taking a look at them.

What's more, Zhou Xianyu defended Xiao Jinxuan so unabashedly that Mrs. Gu couldn't sit still immediately.

Just when she wanted to ask Zhou Xianyu about their relationship, Concubine Liang, who was sitting next to her, supported her, and whispered:

"Sister, don't be impatient, about Yu'er and Qingge, I am going to talk to you in detail after the family banquet, since it's rare for the seniors to get together with us tonight, no matter what happens, we can talk about it after the family banquet is over. "

Concubine Liang had already spoken, what else could Mrs. Gu say, she could only nod her head worriedly, but the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, and she always felt that there might be changes in the matter of giving the marriage.

In fact, Mrs. Gu was not the only one who saw something was wrong. Although Gu Qingping only read sage books on weekdays, he was a bit strict and dull, but this did not mean that he was a dull person.

Therefore, seeing the maids in the palace began to put fresh lychees and various snacks on the table, the dancers also entered the hall and began to sing and dance.

Gu Qingping couldn't help getting closer to his sister, then lowered his voice, and asked Lu Qingge suspiciously:
"Qingge, this Yuwang and Miss Jinxuan, looking at them as brothers, seem to have a very close relationship. It stands to reason that you have married Yuwang now, how could he behave like other women in front of you? I can't make it clear, if it was right to stop you from falling in love with him at the beginning, you have never been optimistic about the marriage between the two of you as brothers."

Hearing these words, Lu Qingge's eyes turned red. The grievances of the past few days almost made her cry, and she felt really uncomfortable these days.

First of all, Shen Wenqing, who is a pro-cousin, not only refused to help her, but also defended Xiao Jinxuan at the palace banquet, and reprimanded her.

Then, when the banquet was held in the mansion, the cousin Xiangping who had played with her since she was a child, even if she knelt down on the ground, she didn't say a good word for her, and even ignored her sad tears, she abandoned her and chased after Xiao Jinxuan And went.

Right now, there is a relative who is willing to complain for her. Immediately, Gu Qingge felt that the cousins ​​were separated by a layer and could not be relied upon at all, or that her elder brother loved her.

Gu Qingge, who immediately felt that he had been greatly wronged, immediately told Gu Qingping all the bitterness in his belly and tears in his eyes.

"Brother, my sister is suffering a lot. That's right. Although I have the status of a quasi-princess, I have never been in His Highness's heart. Back then, in Yingyue Lake, His Highness met a woman named Xuan Brother must know about this, and that woman is Xiao Jinxuan, whom I used to regard as a good sister."

Looking at Lu Qingge in astonishment, the matter of Yu Wangmeng's oath back then may not be known except that the palace's news was blocked.Almost everyone in the capital knew about this matter, but Gu Qingping never thought that the woman named Xuan'er was referring to Xiao Jinxuan.

After recovering from the shocking news, Gu Qingping couldn't help but frowned, and then asked in puzzlement:
"If that's the case, my sister, then the marriage between you and Yu Wang, but after the Lantern Festival, since Yu Wang has no intention of marrying you, where did this marriage come from? It was originally a marriage of your daughter's family. It's not convenient for elder brother to ask in detail, but I only thought that Xianyu was moved by your infatuation for many years, so I asked for the marriage, but now it seems that things are different from what I thought."

Hearing these words, panic flashed in Lu Qingge's eyes, but she was well-behaved since she was a child, and she never told any lies, so after a while, she still spoke truthfully:
"This marriage is indeed... It is indeed not a marriage gift that His Highness promised, but my mother took pity on me, so I asked for it from Concubine Liang and Aunt Liang. However, the younger sister was chosen as the princess, but the Holy Majesty personally chose it. I can't rely on it." Aunt, put more than half of the pressure on His Royal Highness."

Even though what Lu Qingge said seemed to be reasonable, but after Gu Qingping heard it, a look of shame flashed across his face, and he said anxiously:

"Qing Ge, do you know what you are doing? Since you knew early on that Yu Wang has no intention of marrying you, and the other party already has a crush on you, how could you trick your mother and go to your aunt to ask for this marriage? .Even if your concubine position was set by Emperor Ming, if you didn't think about it, how could this marriage be given to you? Now you are doing what you want, but you have broken up a good relationship with her. , sister, you have a pure personality since you were young, I really didn't expect that you would do such a thing."

Looking at his own brother who scolded him so mercilessly, Gu Qingping's expression of aggrieved face froze in an instant, and he was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

Originally, she thought her cousins ​​were unreliable, but now even her brother is not on her side.

Lu Qingge has already become obsessed with love, a little obsessed. She never thought that so many relatives would not approve of her actions. This in itself can only mean that she has indeed done something wrong.

But Gu Qingge didn't criticize himself at all, the more his relatives were like this, and they tried their best to reprimand and enlighten her, the more she blamed all of this on Xiao Jinxuan's head.

She felt that it was all because of the existence of the other party, so why did she end up in such a situation where no one cares and sympathizes.

Turning his head to one side, Lu Qingge ignored Gu Qingping with a face full of resentment, just lowered his head and sulked.

Seeing that his own sister was so stubborn, and hadn't realized her fault yet, Gu Qingping's character was rather rational, so he immediately wanted to enlighten her.

But at this moment, someone from the palace suddenly came to report that Concubine Hui had heard that Concubine Liang had set up a family banquet, and brought a jug of fine wine and grapes from the Western Regions to add to the fun.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately looked weird. Zhou Xianyu was in a hurry just now, and because of Xiao Jinxuan's injury, he wanted to find trouble for him.

But now, Zhou Xianyu was persuaded, and this concubine Hui, who was not afraid of death, bumped into her. Zhou Xianrui couldn't help frowning with a headache, fearing that he would not be able to control the situation for a while, what was going on Come out unexpectedly, it will be really lively then.
