Concubine's true colors

Chapter 285 Ji Lingfeng is furious

A silk brocade handkerchief embroidered with a few white orchids on one side was being fiddled with in Xiao Jinwen's hands, while the other side kept showing an infatuated and gentle smile.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help smiling, and gently pushed the cousin, and then said jokingly:
"Sister, if you continue to play with it, this silk handkerchief will become wrinkled and unusable. You will lose your soul as soon as Mr. Meng leaves. My cousin is so reluctant to part with him."

After being pushed by Xiao Jinxuan, Xiao Jinwen came back to her senses. Hearing the other party's words, she immediately blushed and said in a hurry:

"Sister, you joked with me again. My sister was just looking at the handkerchief, and she was so happy to find it back, so she fiddled with it for a while. As you said, I can't let Mr. Meng go."

Knowing that the other party was thin-skinned, Xiao Jinxuan didn't stop teasing her anymore, but she let out a sigh of relief, and then said quite satisfied:
"It's fine if my sister doesn't admit it, but you two can face up to each other's intentions, and my sister will be happy for you when she sees it. Just wait until the summons in front of the palace, Meng Mian will ask the Holy One for grace in public, and then she will be the eldest aunt." , or the grandmother is not optimistic about this marriage, but due to the imperial decree, she has to agree, so sister's happiness will be within easy reach."

Although just now when Meng Mian was around, Xiao Jinxuan told the two of her ideas, but now that things have been settled, Xiao Jinwen couldn't help but still feel a little uneasy and said:
"We have always paid attention to the words of the matchmaker when it comes to marriage. Although Meng Mian and I fell in love at first sight, we decided for life privately. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed of my family and my mother's upbringing expectations. When I think about it, I feel very uneasy.”

After holding Xiao Jinwen's hand, Xiao Jinxuan smiled slightly, and then said softly:

"Once upon a time, I thought the same as my cousin. I felt that I belonged to the Xiao family, and I would not hesitate to sacrifice myself for my family. But after experiencing many things, I realized that my original thoughts were simply stupid. In this In the world, never use your own happiness to fulfill others. Because kindness may not be rewarded, and what you get in return may be ruthless ridicule and irony. Moreover, how many people can live another life in this life, so there is a For those who really love you, don't wrong yourself for other reasons, does my cousin think what I said is right?"

In the previous life, Xiao Jinxuan became the other party's substitute in order to fulfill Xiao Jinyu, this biological sister.

Later, because of their mutual affection, they watched Ji Lingfeng, who became Queen Ling, carry him into the palace to work with her as a husband.

For the sake of her family, for the love of her family, she got it to the end in her previous life, but she only got a tragic end of heartbreaking.

So after experiencing so many, bloody lessons, she will not let anyone manipulate her life in this life, and she will not sacrifice her own happiness to help others.

Xiao Jinxuan's words combined with herself and her feelings touched Xiao Jinwen very much, and no one wants to really become a victim of the family and turn their marriage into a bargaining chip.

So the confusion in her eyes disappeared, Xiao Jinwen nodded vigorously, and sincerely thanked this cousin for being willing to help her so much.

Because if Xiao Jinxuan hadn't intervened in it, Xiao Jinwen knew that it would be impossible to talk about the love and affection between her and Meng Mian.

And at that time, the final result is that they miss each other. Maybe they will never forget the love at first sight, but after all, they will never have the chance to get together.

Just when Xiao Jinwen wanted to thank Xiao Jinxuan again, Zhuxin suddenly came to report that Aunt Jin Chuan had come and was waiting outside, saying that the old lady had something to do and asked her to come here to pass on a message.

Since the old lady of the Bai family left the commander's mansion, the old lady has been eating fast and reciting Buddha's name, and nothing has happened here.

But now Jin Chuan came suddenly, immediately Xiao Jinxuan was very curious about what message this grandmother was going to convey to her, and immediately asked Zhu Xin to invite someone in.

As soon as he came to the boudoir, Jin Chuan respectfully greeted the two of Xiao Jinxuan and greeted him, and then said meticulously:

"It turns out that Miss Jinwen is also here, so the servants should inform the two masters together. His Majesty's birthday is coming soon, and all the wives and daughters of the invited families will come to the palace to congratulate. The old lady of the Duke's Mansion Naturally, she also wants to enter the palace. But because she is too old, it is inevitable that she will not be able to cope with this kind of state banquet. Therefore, I hope that the people in our commander's mansion can go to the Bai family to live temporarily, and then enter the palace together, so that we can have a good relationship with each other. I took care of it."

On Ming Emperor Hua's birthday, Xiao Jinwen had participated in this kind of palace banquet many times, so she was very familiar with the process, and she immediately said rather puzzled:

"We have always gone to the palace for banquets. Our Xiao family always went alone. Even if we traveled with Befu a few times, we did not move to another house in advance, and then accompanied us into the palace. What's more, there are so many of us, and we are accompanied by waiters. My servant, it seems unreasonable to have to go to the Duke's Mansion."

Hearing this, Jin Chuan nodded slightly, and then explained in a straight and calm voice:

"This proposal was personally invited by the old lady of the Bai family. She said that not long ago, she was very sorry for bothering us at the commander-in-chief's mansion. Therefore, she is willing to show her kindness and invite all the masters to stay in the Duke's mansion for two days. The Bai and Xiao families are relatives by marriage, so it's okay to live with each other, so Miss Jinwen doesn't have to worry."

Although she didn't speak all the time, Xiao Jinxuan understood the matter. It's just that the old matriarch's move, although it was nominally to invite them to be guests, still made her feel a little uneasy.

After all, when she was in the handsome mansion, the old matriarch was not only so angry that she passed out on the spot, even Aunt Li who was close to her was killed by her stick.

In addition, the other party was Xiao Jinyu's grandmother, if she went to the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan would feel a headache just thinking about it, but since her grandmother had already agreed, she would have to go with her.

Because she was about to go to Bai's house, Xiao Jinxuan was quite depressed and troubled, but there were actually some people in this meeting, but because of her, they became more depressed and hard to get rid of, and they were almost out of anger.

In the Prince's Mansion, Ji Lingfeng was holding onto the skirt of the man in front of him tightly with one hand, and said in a harsh voice:

"Are you sure that you are not mistaken, that new top scorer Meng Mian really came out of the commander's mansion, you have to say something deceitful, believe it or not, I will kill you now."

Because he was seriously injured by Zhou Xianyu's three moves in the martial arts arena, Ji Lingfeng's arm was still tied with a heavy bandage.

In addition, his current expression is extremely ferocious and terrifying, no matter who looks at it, he can't help but feel secretly terrified.

And the man who was caught by Ji Lingfeng at this moment was a secret guard sent by the Prince's Mansion to the periphery of the Marshal's Mansion to monitor him.

So when he saw the other party, he looked like he was about to kill him. Immediately, the man nodded quickly, and said with certainty:
"Master Ji, my subordinates are absolutely right. Meng Mian did enter the commander's mansion, and then walked out of it after a few hours, and his face was full of joy. As for what happened inside , the subordinates will not know."

Throwing it away mercilessly, and this time covering the man's skirt, Ji Lingfeng's feminine eyes slowly closed.

Although he didn't say a word, the rapid and unsteady breathing could still reflect that he was extremely angry and excited in his heart.

And Zhou Xiantai, who has been sitting at the top of the list, now has a very ugly expression on his face.After waving his hand to push the dark guard back, he said with a look of unwillingness in his eyes:

"Be on guard, I will try every means to prevent anyone who may become your strong opponent in the imperial examination, but who would have thought that this little-known Meng Mian would actually be your opponent?" It is really abhorrent to take away your title of No. [-] scholar."

Suddenly opened his eyes, Ji Lingfeng laughed back angrily, and after a while, he said with a look of resentment in his eyes:
"Since Meng Mian is in and out of the commander-in-chief's mansion, he must be in contact with Xiao Jinxuan. In fact, I have been wondering why this woman has been dormant since she fell off the cliff and came back. Now I, Ji Lingfeng, understand that she As early as in the imperial examination, I found a good person to deal with me. No wonder that when I ran into her on the street that day, the other party bet that I would not be able to get the first prize in Chinese. It seems that she said this on purpose. This damn Xiao Jinxuan, I I wish I could kill her now."

Ji Lingfeng is obsessed with his official career, and what he has been pursuing is to get promoted step by step. If one day he can gain power, then his lifelong wish will be fulfilled.

But now it's good, first Wen Zhuangyuan was secretly planned by Xiao Jinxuan, and Meng Mian was found to take the first place in the Jinke directly.

As for Wu Zhuangyuan, there was no accident and he became his pocket, but it was when he accepted the people's admiration and cheers that he was the most glorious.

However, Zhou Xianyu ran to the martial arts arena and severely injured him with three moves, making him the biggest laughing stock in the entire capital today.

If he knew that this year's imperial examination would lead him to such an embarrassing end, then Ji Lingfeng would rather wait for three years than to be so embarrassing.

In particular, the imperial court also stipulated that they must wear the number one scholar's robes for three days. Meng Mian wore a red number one scholar's python robe, and was sought after and envied by everyone wherever he went.

But when Ji Lingfeng thought of himself, wearing a blue martial arts champion python robe, but everywhere he went was the chuckle of others, and the sound of pointing and talking, this feeling made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.

So he was clearly the No. [-] scholar in high school, but these few days he directly hid in the Prince's Mansion, and never went out once. The so-called infinite scenery, he, the No. [-] martial artist, really didn't feel it at all.

But when he heard that Ji Lingfeng actually said that he was going to kill Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xiantai's handsome face showed a deep smile.

"Ling Feng, be angry when you are angry, but don't talk nonsense. After all, as long as Xiao Jinyu wins your life, you will be connected with Xiao Jinxuan from now on. The more proficient she is in strategy, the better she will be in the future." It was used by this king, so you should calm down, maybe you really have to worry about it with your fiancée."

Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng immediately held his wrist, looked at a tiny red spot on it, and said with a stern look in his eyes:
"Xiao Jinyu sent me a letter yesterday, saying that she had delivered the Gu bracelet to the other party. In fact, in the martial arts arena that day, although I was seriously injured on the side, I seemed to vaguely see that there was indeed a small wound left on the back of Xiao Jinxuan's hand. If everything goes well, maybe my life and this woman's lives have already been tightly tied together because of Lovesickness Gu."
