Concubine's true colors

Chapter 253
In the slightly shaking and bumpy carriage, Xiao Jinxuan sat upright in it, looking at Zhou Xianyu who was not far away from her, who was as lazy as a cat, leaning against the window, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, After a while, he said softly:
"Obviously your black snow horse is following the carriage, and it's not that you can't ride a horse. Why did you run into my carriage? The majestic war king is now more and more partial. The carriage that the woman rides is gone. You are not afraid of being laughed at."

Although the women of Da Zhou said that, unlike the women of Daliang, who do not step out of the door without going out of the second door, and girls who have not left the cabinet, they must cover their faces with light veils even when they go out, but between men and women, etiquette and dogma are always observed. .

It's really overstepped for them to be alone in the same car as they are now. Although Xiao Jinxuan is not considered pedantic, she has a cold temper. Although she has mutual affection for each other, she always feels a little uncomfortable, so she said that she wants to drive Zhou Xianyu down as soon as possible.

Zhou Xianyu heard Xiao Jinxuan's words verbatim, but apart from making him laugh, he had no intention of getting out of the car at all.

Until I saw a slightly annoyed expression on Xiao Jinxuan's face, Zhou Xianyu didn't dare to tease the other party, and hurriedly sat up, striding towards the other party's side.

Out of sympathy and love, before marrying Xiao Jinxuan into the palace, Zhou Xianyu would indeed warn himself that he must be well-behaved, marry without a clear matchmaker, and he would not do anything frivolous or disrespectful to the other party.

But although Zhou Xianyu was guarding against men and women in his heart, if he was not asked to get closer to Xiao Jinxuan at all on weekdays, it would be more unbearable than killing him.

Especially every time Zhou Xianyu saw Xiao Jinxuan's helpless and embarrassed expression even though he was annoyed, Zhou Xianyu felt it was very funny, and couldn't help but want to tease him a few times.

But the joke is harmless, it's okay, Zhou Xianyu didn't want to really annoy the other party, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was determined and didn't want him to stay in the car, so he immediately put on a pitiful look, and then spoke flatteringly said:

"Xuan'er, let's behave properly with each other, and I won't really be mean in words and deeds, just let me stay in the car, and when you return to the commander's mansion, Master Shi will not see you for several days. I didn't know what it means to look forward to autumn water before, but now I can feel the feeling from you, anyway, I will stay in the car no matter what, if you want to drive me down, don't even think about it, Xuan'er."

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu was still playing a rogue, Xiao Jinxuan was really dumbfounded immediately, and as long as the other party messed around, she really had no choice but to take Zhou Xianyu.

Immediately seeing that the other party could not be driven away, and because Zhou Xianyu was too close, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help sniffing the scent of golden orchids on the other party's body. Immediately, her heart shook slightly, and her face flushed slightly.

Xiao Jinxuan's shy appearance naturally failed to escape Zhou Xianyu's eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, he took a deep breath and said very depressedly:

"Xuan'er has never seen you so thin-skinned. Why do you always show such a delicate appearance when the two of us are alone? After seeing you a few more times, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control myself. What can I do if I directly punish you on the spot, you will really challenge my endurance."

She never expected that Zhou Xianyu's embarrassment would cause Zhou Xianyu to say these words, and Xiao Jinxuan's face immediately turned redder than that of Huo Shaoyun.

And in this carriage, it was really hard for her to stay any longer, so she immediately glared at Zhou Xianyu furiously, then got up and wanted to get out of the carriage quickly, so as to stay away from this unruly man Meng Lang.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was really in a hurry, Zhou Xianyu hurriedly begged for forgiveness and pleaded guilty, and then he barely held the other party back, and then he quickly took out a hairpin from his bosom, and then pampered her softly. road:

"Xuan'er, it's my fault. Why don't you just sit in the carriage, maybe you have to go back to the commander's mansion? Don't just worry about annoying me. I didn't say I would send you off when I was in Yanqing Palace." It's a gift, you still like this hairpin, but the master ordered people to make it overnight when he came back, if it catches your eyes, don't be angry about what happened just now, okay?"

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu really stopped talking nonsense and said some embarrassing things that made her blush, Xiao Jinxuan also followed the other party's wishes and sat down again, then took the hairpin from the other party and looked at it carefully.

Zhou Xianyu really doesn't talk much in front of people, but when facing Xiao Jinxuan, he is completely a chatterbox. Seeing that the other party is playing with the hairpin he gave him, he immediately introduced it to himself. :

"Xuan'er, you don't know martial arts. Although I have been protecting you these few times, you are always in trouble. Remember my black dagger. It is a little bit left over from the sky when forging the Nine Dragons Cold Moon Spear. It is made of iron, it cuts like mud, and is extremely sharp. But you are a woman, I am afraid that I will give you a dagger directly, and I might hurt myself, so I destroyed the knife and turned it into a hairpin, and made this one in your hand Hairpin-shaped weapon, you can wear it in your hair when there is nothing to do on weekdays. If you are in danger, you take off the gold hairpin cover on it, and the hairpin will immediately become a thin knife. I can have some self-defense ability."

Xiao Jinxuan was either assassinated or robbed these few times, Zhou Xianyu was really worried, fearing that this kind of situation might happen again in the future.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the capital from Zhuluo Town, Zhou Xianyu went to the palace to report the situation to Emperor Ming, and then rode back to the Beijing military camp on a black snow horse that traveled thousands of miles a day.

He also worked with the master master who was good at making weapons overnight in the military camp, destroyed his dagger, and made this hairpin, so that Xiao Jinxuan could at least have some means of saving herself when necessary.

And now Xiao Jinxuan, looking at the hairpin in her hand that was as black as ink but made of gold thread and tightly wrapped around the outside, couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

Because she really didn't expect that Zhou Xianyu made this dagger by destroying her own. According to the other party's words, she pulled off the gold thread cover around the hairpin with a little force, and then glowed coldly, sharply An incomparable hairpin knife came into her eyes.

"Xianyu, I like this hairpin, but you ruined your own dagger, and you won't have any personal weapons in the future. I'm really sorry for making you worry about me so much."

Carefully looking at Xiao Jinxuan for a long time, seeing that the other party said that he likes this hairpin, Zhou Xianyu immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately continued very happily:
"Xuan'er, not only did I make this hairpin into the shape of a day lily after your name, but you are looking at the handle of the hairpin. I also named it after the word Wuyou. Daylilies are also called worry-free grass. I believe there is only this hairpin made of meteoric iron from outside the sky, and I also hope that after Jinxuan gets it, she will be carefree from now on. As long as you are happy, just ask me Zhou Xianyu to do something, I am willing to do so, and I don’t care about the lack of a personal dagger.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, and then said with a little confidence:
"Actually, I originally wanted to embed some precious stones on the gold thread, but I didn't have enough time in one night. Fortunately, you like it, Xuan'er, otherwise I would like to make a new gold thread cover for this hairpin. The province is not refined enough to match you."

Hearing the other party's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help crying and laughing immediately. Since the thing was not ready, Zhou Xianyu showed it to her eagerly. The other party's temper was like a child at this time, so she really didn't know what to say. up.

However, Xiao Jinxuan has always disliked hair accessories that are too heavy on jewelry, so she hurriedly put the hairpin into the bun immediately, and told Zhou Xianyu not to bother, she was already very satisfied with this hairpin, and it was real like very much.

But before the words were spoken, suddenly the wheels of the carriage seemed to have passed a pothole, and the carriage was bumped immediately, and was safely put aside. The jade ruyi that Xue Hou had just rewarded was also connected to the red sandalwood black because of this shake. They were all bumped and rolled.

All the things that are rewarded in the palace are registered in the register.

As for the recipient, the thing is nominally his own, but because it is an item bestowed by the palace, it cannot be sold or traded.

Even if it is damaged in private, it may be regarded as disrespect to the royal family, and it will be punished according to the law depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Therefore, seeing that the box containing Yu Ruyi was knocked upside down on the ground, Xiao Jinxuan subconsciously hurried forward, holding the red sandalwood box in her hand, and then opened it to check whether Yu Ruyi was damaged due to this knock. where.

On the other hand, Zhou Xianyu hated Empress Xue, and since he is a child of the royal family, things in the palace are nothing rare in his eyes, let alone how respectful he is for a placed object. heart.

Immediately, I saw him snatch the red sandalwood box into his hands, and then casually threw the box into the corner of the carriage, and then he said with a frivolous smile:

"Empress Xue has a vicious mind. Jinxuan, you'd better not touch the things she rewarded. Who knows if she will use her tricks secretly to harm you. I am really worried about her."

The harem has always been the most ruthless place for women to fight each other. Even the humblest lady-in-waiting, I am afraid that everyone can tell, one or even a dozen, the means and tricks to harm others.

As for the intrigue in the past, no matter how hard the women in the back house of the aristocratic family fight each other, it is nothing compared to these concubines in the palace.

Safflower musk causing miscarriage, self-mutilation and framing to gain power, and other such methods have been developed endlessly in the harem, and the methods used by concubines to harm each other have always been unexpected and hard to guard against.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Zhou Xianyu to express his concerns. He is a child who grew up in the palace, and he has seen a lot of those insidious methods.

Although Ruyi looked ordinary, but when it came to Xiao Jinxuan's safety, he didn't allow himself to be careless even if he missed a little bit.

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she felt that Zhou Xianyu was a little too nervous. After all, this jade wish was bestowed by Empress Xue in public. If there was something wrong with it, it would not stand up to investigation afterwards.

Immediately, she wanted to tell Zhou Xianyu not to be so nervous. After all, it was a gift from the palace. Look at the Ruyi inside, but it is still intact.

But it doesn't matter after seeing it, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly shrank her pupils, and then said with a shocked face:

"Xianyu, it seems that what you said is correct. There is really something wrong with the thing that Queen Xue gave me. Come and see what it is."
