Concubine's true colors

Chapter 206
Countless people were implicated in the assassination of the royal king, and there were not enough people who lost their lives. It was not until more than half a month later that the turmoil was completely subsided.

Now that September has passed, the golden autumn and October are mixed with the gradual withering of thousands of trees. It has not only taken away the heat of summer, but also began to cool down in the morning and evening.

In October season, the two most suitable things to do are nothing more than mountain climbing to see the maple leaves are like fire. Apart from that, there is naturally only chrysanthemum viewing, and now this solar term is indeed the most lush and bursting time for chrysanthemums season.

Besides, in the Royal Palace today, there are huge bouquets of chrysanthemums of various colors piled up in the backyard. Now Xiao Jinxuan is holding a pair of small scissors, squatting among the flowers, picking fresh chrysanthemums to the little girl beside her. in the basket.

Not far from her, Zhou Xianyu was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, eating tea, while looking at her tenderly and dotingly.

This practice continued for more than half a month, and now the gauze on Xiao Jinxuan's arm has gone, and Emperor Ming searched for good medicines, and sent them to Yuwangfu without interruption.

So now Xiao Jinxuan's wound, under the nourishing and repairing of many panacea, even the scar has been separated, but a scar of more than three inches is still clearly left, and I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of in this life.

And let's talk about the current Zhou Xianyu, his physique is not bad, and he also has nourishing elixir.

Therefore, although she was more seriously injured than Xiao Jinxuan, her recovery was no slower than hers. Now she can move freely, and the imperial doctor also told her that as long as she doesn't use martial arts, she will be able to live and breathe again after a month or so.

Knowing that Zhou Xianyu has a temperament that can't be rested, so for more than half a month, Xiao Jinxuan did not return to the commander's mansion, but stayed close to watch him.

After all, in the commander-in-chief's mansion, the Zhao family no longer dared to hinder her, and Emperor Ming acquiesced in the relationship between her and Zhou Xianyu, as for whether other people would spread any gossip.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't take this point to heart at all, now she is full of Zhou Xianyu, as long as the other party is safe and well, it doesn't matter what others say about her.

She only lived for herself all her life, as long as she thought it was right, it would be criticized by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands of people, and she would never frown at all.

When the small basket beside her was filled with flowers, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and sat down opposite Zhou Xianyu. Then, she poured all the fresh chrysanthemums on the stone table and carefully picked them.

Zhou Xianyu, who was holding a piece of Hundred Flowers Cake and eating it very sweetly, saw this, and quickly reached out to help, and said with a doting smile:
"Xuan'er collects these chrysanthemum petals, but they are used to make scented tea. Last time, I finished the ginger tea you made. I don't care. Anyway, you can make me a copy of this chrysanthemum tea yourself."

After the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, didn't Zhou Xianyu drink ginger tea that Xiao Jinxuan personally made for him in Prince Rui's Mansion.

Even though he hated the taste of ginger very much, he asked Zhou Xianrui to take all the tea away afterwards, and drank all the tea without wasting it.

During that time, there was a deep gap between him and Xiao Jinxuan, and there were many misunderstandings. Whenever he felt disheartened and lost, he would make a cup of ginger tea.

When the warm tea is drunk, his heart will be warmed up again. It was a very difficult time for Zhou Xianyu, and the tea made by Xiao Jinxuan accompanied him through every lovesickness. sick night.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who was picking petals, couldn't help smiling when she heard that Zhou Xianyu was discussing tea with her.

"If you want to drink tea, I can naturally prepare it for you, but the chrysanthemums that can be used for making tea, only the tribute chrysanthemums, have the best taste. These chrysanthemums that are only for appreciation on weekdays are not suitable for making tea."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help being puzzled, took the picked chrysanthemum petals into his hands, looked at them carefully for a while, and then muttered:

"Since it's not suitable for making tea, why would Xuan'er pick it? The wound on your wrist has just healed, and the newly grown skin is still very fragile. If you accidentally scratch it, it will break and bleed." , let's go back to the house, you don't like to hear about the cultural customs of the frontier, let me tell you, okay?"

Although Xiao Jinxuan lives temporarily in Yuwang's Mansion, she has a cold temper, and Zhou Xianyu keeps her life clean.

So even though they lived under the same roof, they kept their sense of proportion and did not overdo anything, because this is not only a matter of personal cultivation, but also a kind of respect for each other.

So during these many days, even when the two of them are alone, at most they are drinking tea and enjoying flowers, or talking about ancient and modern interesting stories.

And what Xiao Jinxuan likes most is what Zhou Xianyu told her about the exotic cultures and frontier customs along the way when marching and fighting. Even if she sits and listens for several hours every time, she will not find it boring.

But when Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, she gave Zhou Xianyu a coquettish look, and after carefully putting the selected handfuls of petals into the gauze bag, she smiled and said:

"If you want to tell a story, let's tell it here. I mean that the chrysanthemum petals can't make tea, but I didn't say that it's useless. The hundred flower cake you ate just now has these chrysanthemum petals in it, and I'm going to Pick more, and when the petals are dried, make a pillow for my second aunt, her birthday will be at the end of October, and I want to give it to her as a present."

After brushing off the chrysanthemum petals that fell on the skirt, Xiao Jinxuan continued:

"The assassination of Baoqingzhai is inauspicious. I thought about the jade bracelet I ordered earlier, but I still don't plan to give it to my aunt as a gift. Chrysanthemum has the effect of cooling wind and cooling, and it is also very effective for dizziness. Use it Making a fragrant pillow can improve sleep, the second aunt is not in good health, and after a long cough at night, it is difficult to fall asleep, this pillow should help her calm down and help her sleep more peacefully."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan, they are thinking about Shen Shi. Now many people say that Xiao Jinxuan is cruel and merciless. In fact, only after getting along with her for a long time, will they know that this cold woman in front of her actually has a soft and delicate side in her heart.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu smiled charmingly, and then said in a clear voice:
"Ms. Chen really loves you like a daughter. When I was not in the capital, I was lucky to have her protect you in the handsome mansion. It just so happens that I have a heart-protecting jade pendant made of warm jade. I will wait for your aunt's birthday on your aunt's birthday." Just give it to her, this warm jade has always been the most nourishing body, and it is also very effective in regulating qi and calming the nerves, it is all my heart, thank her for treating you sincerely."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan nodded with a smile. Although Nuanyu is precious, Zhou Xianyu's regard for her as the most important thing is even more rare.

In addition, Shen is as important as her mother in her heart, so she is also happy to have Nuanyu protecting her body.

Just when the two of them were picking petals and talking softly, suddenly Zhu Xin came in from outside the courtyard, and Fuli said to Xiao Jinxuan:
"Miss, the eldest son of the Gu family is here again. He said that he must apologize to you face to face for what happened before. Now he is waiting in the living room. Do you want to see him today?"

Xiao Jinxuan moved to the Yuwang Mansion for a temporary stay, and Zhu Xin, who had always served her personally, naturally followed. Bai Shu wanted to come, but was left to guard the Lianqiao Courtyard, and took care of Shen by the way.

Hearing that Gu Qingping came, before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, Zhou Xianyu raised his brows and said in an annoyed voice:

"Zhu Xin told that nerd, just like what the king said, tell him to die as far as I can. Now I really get angry when I see Gu. If I didn't know him since I was a child, I really want to rush Go over and beat him up, and tell Gu Qingping to get out of here before I can hold back my anger, and he will wait to be carried out later in the evening."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan shook her head helplessly. Recently, Gu Qingping has actually run here many times, but was stopped by Zhou Xianyu.

Seeing that this was the fifth time the other party came to the door, Xiao Jinxuan immediately stood up, and said to Zhou Xianyu with a slight frown:

"Whether Gu Qingge is there or not, it has nothing to do with Gu Qingping. Besides, he saved me during the family banquet. Later, when you were assassinated and fell into a coma, he also waited in the palace for a day and a night. You shouldn't blame Mr. Gu, let alone him. It's not you who want to see, but me, Xiao Jinxuan, if you stop me, don't say that I will annoy you."

If you ask Zhou Xianyu, who has always been fearless and fearless, what frightens him the most, it is Xiao Jinxuan getting angry.

As long as the other party's tone is slightly harsher, no matter how joyous Zhou Xianyu was jumping up and down one moment, he will stop immediately the next moment.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Xianyu, who had raised his brows and raised his eyes just now, and his eyes were about to spurt out sparks, under Xiao Jinxuan's glance, he immediately put on a flattering expression, and quickly grabbed a handful of flowers with both hands, Picking chrysanthemum petals, he said with a smile:

"Xuan'er, look at you. I didn't say I wouldn't let you go. How come you got annoyed again. Since you don't think that nerd is annoying, then you go. I'll pick it up for you here." Petals, when you come back, this gauze bag is guaranteed to be full."

Seeing Zhou Xianyu's face changing faster than turning the pages of a book, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help being amused, and immediately ignored him, she hurriedly led Zhu Xin to the living room.

And after she saw Gu Qingping, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but chuckled and said:
"Mr. Gu, you have been running for nothing in the past few days, but you also know Zhou Xianyu's temperament. He was injured a while ago and said he was not allowed to see you. I can't talk to him then. Arguing, so this delay is about ten days, so Jinxuan is being rude."

Hearing this, Gu Qingping hurriedly returned the salute in panic, and said with shame on his face:
"His Royal Highness, you don't want me to enter the mansion. Qingping can understand these things. After all, all the mistakes this time were caused by my sister's confusion. Yuwang and Miss Jinxuan did not continue to pursue responsibility afterwards, and stayed behind. For Qing Ge's life, I, the entire Gu family, are already grateful, and a few days of closed doors is nothing, Qing Ping does not dare to feel dissatisfaction in his heart."

Gu Qingping is a modest gentleman, although Xiao Jinxuan hates Gu Qingge, but she never angers others, so she said very kindly:
"Now Mr. Gu has also seen that Jinxuan's injury is no longer serious, and Yu Wang has mostly recovered, so you should stop blaming yourself. In the end, the two of us were injured, and it has nothing to do with you. Jinxuan still regards you as a gentleman's friend."

Hearing these words, Gu Qingping's expression of shame changed for the better, then he suddenly changed the topic, and said invitingly:
"Miss Jinxuan is open-minded, Qingping feels ashamed, but a mere verbal apology is not enough to express my Gu family's apology, so I have prepared a table at Jude Restaurant, and I ask Miss Jinxuan to come, otherwise In my heart, I am always terrified.”
