Concubine's true colors

Chapter 252
This is really about Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrived, Zhou Xianyu mentioned Empress Xue's mother and son, but before the words were finished, the other party was outside Yanqing Palace.

After all, they are the lord of the harem, the majestic empress, so although they are at odds with each other now, Xiao Jinxuan and the others still greet each other according to the rules.

And it was seen that when Empress Xue saw Xiao Jinxuan for the first time, she immediately greeted her with a smile, and helped her up very kindly, and then said with a dignified manner:
"Everyone, let's get back together. I learned that Yu Wang and Miss Jinxuan entered the palace today, so I guessed that you will definitely come to Yanqing Palace. During this period of time, the two of you can really be said to be the survivors of the catastrophe. For your Encountered, the next few days will be difficult to sleep and eat, now I just come back safely, and I feel at ease in my heart."

The people who clearly pushed Lu Qingge to the front to assassinate Xiao Jinxuan were Empress Xue, mother and son, and everyone present knew each other very well.

After all, when Zhou Xianrui rushed to Tu'er Ridge, from the people who were beheaded to death by Zhou Xianyu, he could still tell that these people were the black armored guards of the Prince's Mansion.

But now Empress Xue didn't change her face, and when she said these words in a hypocritical manner, Zhou Xianyu, who had never known how to write the word forbearance, sneered evilly.

"The empress is having trouble sleeping and eating. I'm afraid it's not because I'm worried about the safety of Jinxuan and me, but because I didn't get the exact news of our death, so I feel reconciled and hard to care about it."

Zhou Xianyu's mother and concubine, Huangfu Yingyue, could be said to have been forced to death by Empress Xue, so he never called her mother once in all these years when facing Empress Xue.

And every time they met, they would definitely confront each other. If Emperor Ming hadn't been trying so hard to suppress him, he would have wanted to avenge his biological mother after killing the poison with a single shot.

Xue Hou is the mother of the country, even if Zhou Xianyu contradicts her, she will never argue because of her status, but as the master, she can keep silent, but as the queen's personal aunt, she has to protect the master at this time of.

Immediately, I saw Zuo Wen frowned, and then came to Zhou Xianyu. After greeting Zhou Xianyu with a blessing, she said in a serious voice:

"His Royal Highness, the Empress, as your mother, you didn't kneel down to pay her respects just now, so it shouldn't be wrong, and now your words are still so abrupt, please be careful of your words and deeds, otherwise it will be against filial piety, and even more disrespectful to the empress." , you are a descendant of the royal family, such an unseemly thing should not be something you should do, Your Highness."

As Queen Xue, the lord of the six palaces, all the children of Emperor Ming must call her Queen Mother, this is out of respect for the queen, so Zuo Wen used this as a reason to blame and question Zhou Xianyu. There is nothing wrong with it.

And on this point, Zhou Xianyu, who is nominally the prince, would find it difficult to refute due to his status.

Seeing that Zuo Wen's protector is very aggressive, Xiao Jinxuan, who has been extremely defensive after her rebirth, would not agree to the bullying of Wenxin and others, let alone Zhou Xianyu.

And Xiao Jinxuan knew Zhou Xianyu too well, the other party would either ignore him, but if he got angry, he would kill him immediately.

She didn't want Zhou Xianyu to go head-to-head with Queen Xue like that at the Lizhi family banquet. After all, the other party was the queen, and Zhou Xianyu was the one who suffered due to the disparity in status in such an outrageous confrontation.

Seeing Zhou Xianyu narrowing his eyes and staring at Zuo Wen dangerously, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party was about to get angry, so she immediately stopped in front of the other party, and then said first:
"Aunt Zuo Wen, since you keep saying that the Empress is the Queen's mother, as a child, her words are sometimes reckless. Could it be that as a mother, you really hold a grudge? On the contrary, you, Auntie, The empress didn't care about it, but you have already scolded the prince of the dynasty here. Jinxuan knows that you are the aunt in charge of Fengxiang Palace, but the king is the master and you are a slave after all. As a slave, you come to question the master , Jinxuan's knowledge is shallow, but she doesn't know that there is so no dignity in this palace, and I have opened my eyes today."

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she could see Zuo Wen's face, which was really red and white, which was wonderful. As the personal aunt next to Xue Hou, when would anyone in this palace dare to talk to her like this.

Moreover, one moment ago she questioned Zhou Xianyu about her superiority, and the next moment Xiao Jinxuan also ridiculed her for her superiority.

This feeling undoubtedly made Zuo Wen feel that the other party had slapped her hard on the face, and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Zhou Xianyu was brave and good at fighting, he acted vigorously and did not follow common sense. Although he was difficult to deal with, he was not good at fighting openly and covertly and overpowering others with reason.

So these years, although Zhou Xianyu was rebellious, Empress Xue was able to deal with it with ease, and with the status of queen, she could suppress the other party. She was never forced out of control by Zhou Xianyu at all.

However, seeing Xiao Jinxuan now, slapping her repeatedly, Zuo Wen was rendered speechless with a few words. The other party's sharp mouth, and the words of every word, immediately made Queen Xue feel a headache, even He even frowned.

Zhou Xianyu is brave, Xiao Jinxuan is scheming, without Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu is a fierce tiger, although he is brave, he can also strangle them together.

And when talking about Xiao Jinxuan, without Zhou Xianyu's contrast, she is nothing more than a concubine from the handsome mansion, not to mention affecting the court, it is extremely difficult to live a stable life in the Xiao family.

But when these two people get together, they complement each other, and they both make up for each other's shortcomings, and this is the reason why Empress Xue absolutely doesn't want to see it, and gradually begins to be afraid.

Seeing that Zuo Wen couldn't stand Xiao Jinxuan anymore, Empress Xue smiled immediately, and then said gracefully and calmly as if she didn't feel the tense atmosphere in the hall:

"Xianyu has always been free and easy. As a mother, I don't really care about it. Zuo Wen, why don't you step down quickly. Today, the empress is here to see these two children. Naturally, those rules and etiquette should be let go. "

As soon as the words were finished, Empress Xue took a long red sandalwood box from the accompanying palace attendant, and then came to Xiao Jinxuan with a smile.

"Last time at Concubine Liang's family banquet, I met Miss Jinxuan just once, and I didn't even say a word, but I don't think it's been a long time, and you are about to become a member of my royal family now. The matter of Ya has caused you a lot of suffering, so I prepared this mutton fat fortune jade for you, and hope that you, my child, will be happy in everything in the future, and there will be fewer disasters and difficulties."

As soon as the words were finished, Empress Xue personally opened the wooden box, and then a jade ruyi with exquisite carvings and precious materials appeared in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

Empress Xue became so friendly suddenly, Xiao Jinxuan actually knew why the other party did this.

After all, the black armored guards were involved in her falling off the cliff, and the black armored guards were the guards of the Prince's Mansion, so Zhou Xiantai couldn't get rid of his involvement in this matter.

Although there is Qi Bei to blame now, in order to avoid suspicion and to show that there is no enmity between Zhou Xiantai and Xiao Jinxuan, it is undoubtedly the most intuitive and effective way to get closer and come to condolences.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan didn't refuse, and accepted Queen Xue's things cooperatively, Zhou Xiantai's eyes flashed brightly, and then he also walked forward.

"Seventh brother, Miss Jinxuan, this time you fell off the cliff, although Qi Bei used my name to mobilize the black armor guards without authorization, hoping to get rid of you who disturbed the hearts of my great Zhou Chaogang, although my highness really didn't know about it, But in the end, it was an improper employment, and I feel very guilty, so I want to give these two jade pendants to you two in public, and take it as an expression of apology from His Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiantai really took out two identical jade pendants from the jade box he was holding in his hand, and they were engraved with the pattern of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness, obviously these are two paired pendants.

Empress Xue's things were bestowed by the queen, and she had no choice but to accept them. However, although Zhou Xiantai was a prince, Xiao Jinxuan did not intend to take what was bestowed upon her, so she immediately smiled and said:

"His Royal Highness appreciates Jinxuan's kindness, but just now when he went to see His Majesty, His Majesty had already rewarded Jinxuan with a golden dragon and jade pendant. Jinxuan really can't wear this one now, so you should keep it for yourself. As for this intention, I accept it."

But upon hearing this, Zhou Xiantai's eyes shrank fiercely, and even the hand holding Yupei couldn't help clenching it for an instant.

Because he really didn't expect that his father would be willing to give the golden dragon and jade pendant to Xiao Jinxuan, and as the only prince among the princes, he was not given such treatment.

It's fine that Emperor Ming favored Zhou Xianyu at first, but now even Xiao Jinxuan is deeply in the favor of his father. If these two really get married, then there will be no place for Zhou Xiantai in the future.

Thinking of the method proposed by Empress Xue, Ji Lingfeng put forward the idea of ​​marrying Xiao Jinxuan in public after getting Ji Lingfeng's title on the gold list. Zhou Xiantai was still a little hesitant.

Now he really feels that his mother is too far-sighted. Although he is a little sorry for Ji Lingfeng, as long as he can destroy Zhou Xianyu's marriage gift, this sacrifice is nothing.

Concubine Liang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was actually very worried, especially seeing that if Xiao Jinxuan hadn't suppressed her so hard, Zhou Xianyu would have been angry and fought with Queen Xue again.

Concubine Liang, who always puts children first in her heart, immediately came forward, pushed Xiao Jinxuan's arm, and said urgently with a smile:
"You child, why don't you even know how to take care of your own body when you talk, just now you said that you feel very tired, these days you and Xianyu are living outside, it's okay for him to be a man, but Jin It is unavoidable for Xuan you to be overwhelmed, since you feel uncomfortable, you should leave the palace and go back home, and let Xianyu take you back in person, then I have nothing to worry about."

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Liang looked at Queen Xue again, and then Fushen said dignifiedly:
"Jinxuan's child is not feeling well. I think the empress will not blame her. Let's leave first and don't follow Feng. The empress rarely comes to my Yanqing Palace, so I let the concubine accompany you to drink tea and talk. I don't know what you want. how."

What Concubine Liang said was humble and decent, and it was reasonable, and Empress Xue had no reason not to let her go, so she agreed immediately.

Secretly relieved, Concubine Liang signaled Xiao Jinxuan and the two to leave quickly, without any delay, and immediately asked her palace servants to send them out.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, she couldn't see at this moment that Concubine Liang was protecting her and Zhou Xianyu's safety, and she was going to deal with Queen Xue alone.

This kindness and kindness immediately made Xiao Jinxuan feel slightly touched in her heart, and she was really happy for Zhou Xianyu to get an adoptive mother who loved him so much.
