Concubine's true colors

Chapter 271

Seeing that the dumplings had stopped, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly smiled and asked:

"Xianyu, why are you here? It's not that you are going to inspect the Beijing military camp. I didn't expect you to come back so soon, and now you brought this little guy with you."

Zhou Xianyu was used to being casual, so he didn't need to be invited. He directly pulled the stool, sat on the opposite side of Xiao Jinxuan's dining table, and said with a smile:
"Originally, I wanted to stay in the Beijing military camp for a few more days, but today is the day of fighting for the champion of martial arts. The martial arts field is very lively. People are allowed to watch the battle of champions of martial arts, so I rushed back specially to bring You also go to see the excitement, Jinxuan, you are good at everything, but your temperament is too quiet, and you are always bored in the room reading, which is not good for your health."

Then Zhou Xianyu pointed at the dumpling that Wen Xin and the others were teasing with cakes, curled his lips and said:

"This little thing is very naughty. As soon as I came back from the Beijing military camp, the servants in the mansion complained to me again and again, and this group even went to my wine cellar and got drunk. I didn't expect Bamboo Bear There are also drunkards here."

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling when she thought of Tuanzi's simple, honest and drunken appearance.

Zhou Xianyu loves good wine, and now he drank up a lot of fine wines in his collection, so he must feel distressed for a while.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan didn't sympathize with him, but kept laughing, Zhou Xianyu immediately glanced at her resentfully, and then complained and muttered:
"It's a pity that the fine wines I collected are so good. If it weren't for Xuan'er, you gave me the dumpling, how could the king's wine cellar be ransacked? This little thing is very ghostly. I deliberately took it to the barracks, so I brought it here specially today, after all, once you go to the barracks, you won't be able to see Tuanzi all the time."

Zhou Xianyu made this plan because he was really annoyed that Tuanzi stole the wine, so he wanted to send it out of the palace.

It's just that Tuanzi is a bamboo bear after all, and it is suitable for a carefree life in the mountains and forests. Zhou Xianyu's palace is not small, but it is not suitable for little ones to live in.

But the Beijing military camp is different. Not only can the regiments be well taken care of, but the camp is surrounded by mountains, so the little ones can play and live in the mountains and jungles.

Zhou Xianyu felt that giving Tuanzi absolute freedom would be more conducive to the growth of the little guy than in captivity.

Although Xiao Jinxuan was a little bit reluctant, she also knew that Zhou Xianyu's consideration was very reasonable.

In addition, she is not an emotional person, since going to the Beijing military camp is good for the regiment, she immediately agreed.

And Wen Xin, who was handing a piece of hibiscus cake to the dumpling to play with, patted the little guy on the head, then stood up, and joked with a smile:

"Jinxuan, you and Yuwang, why do I look like this little guy's parents? I really worry about it. Seeing that you are so conscientious, if you have your own children in the future, you may not be sure. What does caring and loving look like?"

Everyone in Lianqiao Courtyard has long regarded Zhou Xianyu as her daughter's future husband-in-law, and Wen Xin and Xiao Jinxuan's relationship is already a brother and a servant.So occasionally joking a few words is not out of proportion.

As for the fact that Wenxin is Xiao Jinxuan's cousin, Zhou Xianyu already knew it when he was in Yangzhou.

But every time he saw a man like Wen Xin who was so close to Xiao Jinxuan, he always felt a little sour in his heart.

But later, when he chatted with Xiao Jinxuan accidentally, he realized that Bai Shu beside him had actually been in love with Wenxin for a long time.

Moreover, after Zhou Xianyu's observation, when Wen Xin faced Xiao Jinxuan, there was indeed only a brother-sister relationship, and nothing else was involved in it, so the grievances in his heart disappeared.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu was not annoyed when he saw Wen Xin teasing him, but because of what the other party said, he felt happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinxuan.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't feel Zhou Xianyu's fiery eyes, but she was really embarrassed when she thought of what Wen Xin said just now, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said:

"Since we are going to the Martial Arts Field, let's start now. If you want to watch the excitement, you can go together."

Zhu Xin likes to join in the fun, and has an active temper. She was the first to rush out immediately, and she was about to follow Xiao Jinxuan to the martial arts arena.

Wenxin is also a newcomer to the capital, and out of curiosity, she wanted to go with her, but Bai Shu was not interested in these fights, so she decided to stay alone in the Forsythia Courtyard.

And when he heard that Baishu was not going to go, Wenxin actually decided not to go after thinking about it, but was going to stay in the yard and be with Baishu to relieve boredom.

When Wenxin was hit by snow in Yangzhou, he used two pancakes to rescue Bai Shu, who was about to freeze to death, from the hands of the officials. In fact, their fate with each other was already doomed.

Also since then, Bai Shu has had a special sense of dependence on Wenxin, but Wenxin at that time was just a young boy, so he didn't notice it at all.

But after coming to the capital, after continuous experience, Wen Xin's insight and sensitivity are no longer what they used to be, and he gradually felt the slightest affection for Bai Shu towards him.

At the beginning, Wen Xin deliberately avoided Bai Shu, because besides his handsome appearance, he was an orphan with no relatives and no reason.

And ever since his mother died, Wenxin had sworn at the grave that for the rest of his life, he would only live for Xiao Jinxuan, in order to repay the kindness that the other party gave him for rebuilding him. As for the relationship between a man and a woman, he neither wanted nor wanted Touch half point.

But after getting along with each other for a long time, Bai Shu's meticulous care and tenderness, like a spring breeze, finally moved Wen Xin, and Xiao Jinxuan also intentionally matched them up.

So now in the Forsythia Courtyard, although Wenxin and Baishu have no engagement, they are indeed a pair of envious and loving couples.

And Wenxin also discussed it with Xiao Jinxuan, just wait for his mother's three-year filial piety period to pass, then he will buy a house by himself, and then marry Baishu as his wife.

So seeing that Bai Shu didn't go to the martial arts arena, Wen Xin didn't go either.

Xiao Jinxuan just smiled, naturally she wouldn't force it, she immediately put on the cloak of snowy plum pattern and Chinese satin, and followed Zhou Xianyu out of the commander's mansion with her bamboo heart and red spirit.

After half an incense stick of kung fu, Xiao Jinxuan and her group came to the martial arts arena set up by the imperial court outside the imperial city. Because of the examination of the champion of martial arts, their boxing skills have always been excellent, and they do not shy away from crowds watching.

Therefore, Martial Law has been imposed in the literary examination in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the martial arts examination allowed the common people to watch, so when Xiao Jinxuan got off the carriage, she saw the martial arts arena, which occupies a relatively small area.

However, due to the identities of Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan, they naturally don't have to crowd together like ordinary people, standing and watching the competition.

After finding the officials responsible for the order of the martial arts arena, and showing their waist badges to show their identities, they were immediately greeted respectfully, and the VIP seats in the stands were seated.

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan and Xiao Jinxuan walked up to the stand with the best view, Zhou Xianrui's figure suddenly appeared on the viewing chair in the front row. Seeing this, the two of them naturally went up to meet him immediately.

Zhou Xianyu and Zhou Xianrui, these two brothers have always been close, so when they got close, Zhou Xianyu didn't show courtesy, and just sat down next to his fifth brother, lazily and casually, then smiled evilly and joked said:
"This is really rare. Fifth Brother, who has always been only interested in memorials and official documents, will come to join in the fun and watch the martial arts competition. This is really strange."

Zhou Xianyu ran around all day and never had a moment to spare, but Zhou Xianrui was different. Apart from going to court, the place where he stayed the most was his study.

It's really not his style to put aside official duties like today and run out to watch the martial arts meeting, so Zhou Xianyu couldn't help it, and wanted to joke a few words with the other party.

It is not surprising that Zhou Xianyu would come to such a lively martial arts conference, but Zhou Xianrui did not expect that Xiao Jinxuan would also come along with him. Immediately, he stood up, then nodded slightly, and smiled after seeing the ceremony. Said calmly:
"In the past, I didn't come here because it was unnecessary, but this year, there are a lot of vacancies in the position of generals in the imperial court. Therefore, once the military champion of this year is in high school, he must be reused. This king is really curious. Who won the champion? Which force will it be?"

The prince sent Ji Lingfeng to participate in the civil and military imperial examinations, so naturally the princelings will not be idle.

In addition, the official positions vacant by generals are very considerable, so even Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but get concerned and went to the martial arts arena to watch the battle in person.

After sitting down again, Zhou Xianrui looked at Xiao Jinxuan again, and then said with some gratitude in his words:
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, Miss Si, for seeing off my aunt's family yesterday. After all, they were all taken into prison by this king himself, so more or less this king doesn't know how to deal with it now. Their feelings, so even though they knew that Qingping had left early, but this king only sent people to follow him for protection, but he didn't show up to see them off, so I asked Fourth Miss to take the trouble to arrange it."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan shook her head and smiled slightly.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui doesn't need to be so polite. Speaking of Mr. Gu, he and I can be regarded as good friends. It's only natural for friends to send each other off, and this trip may never see you again in this life. If you can help, Jinxuan will naturally help. Take it."

As soon as she mentioned the matter of seeing off Gu Qingping yesterday, Xiao Jinxuan remembered the matter of saving Xiao Yunyan on the way back.

Although she knew that the other party was from the Beirong royal family, she did not know her specific identity.

After all, the list of diplomatic missions from various countries, except for the officials in charge of reception, is only available in the palace. Xiao Jinxuan is still very curious, what is the identity of Xiao Yunyan who she rescued, so that he can provoke Ye Xun Kingdom, even at the border of Da Zhou? Take the risk of hunting him down.

So after thinking about it, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Zhou Xianyu, and then said in a questioning voice:
"Xianyu, you lead the army all the year round, and you have been in contact with Beirong for a long time. Let me ask you something, do you know Xiao Yunyan? What about the other party?"

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's question, Zhou Xianyu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and replied without thinking:
"Xuan'er, where did you hear this guy's name? I don't just know Xiao Yunyan. Every time the Beirong army is basically commanded by the third prince, I guess this guy and I are fighting alone. It’s been more than a dozen times, and I heard that he led the team this time, so I guess he should have entered Beijing by now.”
