Concubine's true colors

Chapter 306
Clinging to the Ninth Prince Zhou Xianchen tightly, Xiao Jinxuan taught him half a cup of tea, and only then did he let him go again.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Zhou Xianchen, who was already crying hoarsely, immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan in horror.

Then, like a frightened little rabbit, with a "swish", it hid behind Xiangping.

Seeing this Ninth Prince, after hiding, he would sneak a look at her from time to time with a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars and moons.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing inwardly, but she pretended to be serious and said:

"Since Your Highness is ten years old, he must have started to read and read, learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and the etiquette of a gentleman. As a prince, he first eavesdropped on other people's secrets, and then used it to blackmail his own sister, the Ninth Prince. Could it be that the principles of conduct you have learned from your master are not good enough. If this is the case, then I advise the prince to change his teacher as soon as possible."

The children in the palace are enlightened early, so they are also sensible early.

So even though Zhou Xianchen was only ten years old, he could still understand what Xiao Jinxuan said inside and outside, saying that he was not a righteous person and behaved badly.Immediately he protested unconvinced:

"Even if I did something wrong, I'm the prince. You dare to hit me. You are so reckless. Be careful. I'll tell my father, the queen, my concubine, and tell them to make the decision for me."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled slightly, then pointed to Xiangping, and said in a gentle voice:

"Can't the Ninth Prince see that your elder sister, Princess Xiangping, and I are best friends. So just now, I was acting as a substitute for my friend, punishing you, a disobedient younger brother, rather than just committing an offense against the superior. Heavy, I have a younger brother who is the same age as the prince, if he makes a mistake, I will punish him much more severely than the ninth prince."

When they were in Meizhuang, boys were always more naughty, Yang didn't care about everything all the year round, so the only one who worried about Xiao Wenyao was Xiao Jinxuan, the elder sister.

Just now Xiao Jinxuan caught Zhou Xianchen so skillfully, and set him up to repair him.

These skills were all developed by Xiao Wenyao when she was in Meizhuang.

At that time, if Xiao Wenyao was naughty and caused trouble, Mama Bai would not give them food, and would make things difficult for them in other ways.

In order to protect her younger brother and get rid of bad habits, Xiao Jinxuan really hit her younger brother a lot.

However, children from poor families have been in charge of the family early, and as they grow up, Xiao Wenyao was already sensible when he was eight or nine years old.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, the elder sister, he also understood that the other party was for his own good, so not only did there not be any quarrel between the siblings, but the feeling was even better.

But now seeing Zhou Xianchen who was the same age as her younger brother, Xiao Jinxuan not only felt the yearning for her younger brother again, but also felt that the Ninth Prince was kinder.

Seeing each other, she seemed to see her own brother.

Clutching her slightly aching buttocks, she heard that Xiao Jinxuan punished her younger brother even harder than hitting him.

Zhou Xianchen, who had just felt wronged in his heart, suddenly found it easier to accept the fact that he was being beaten.

And Zhou Xianchen also knew that what Xiao Jinxuan said was true, he really shouldn't be eavesdropping on other people's speech.

Immediately, I saw him tugging at Xiangping's sleeves, then pouted his ruddy mouth, and said with some embarrassment:

"Sister Xiangping, don't worry. Xianchen knows that I shouldn't scare you just now. I won't tell anyone a word about what I heard today. Except for the three of us, I promise not to let the fourth person know."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan stood aside after she said the words of promise, she nodded and smiled in satisfaction. Immediately, Zhou Xianchen seemed to have gotten candy, and he couldn't help feeling elated.

The heart of this child is always different from that of adults, especially for a prince like Zhou Xianchen who has never been beaten since childhood, although Xiao Jinxuan's sternness made him afraid in his heart.

But at the same time, Zhou Xianchen couldn't help but want to get the other party's approval, so Xiao Jinxuan's smile, in his eyes, was simply the biggest reward.

And now that the fear in his heart disappeared, Zhou Xianchen jumped to Xiao Jinxuan's side in a few steps, then blinked his eyes, and asked very curiously:
"Who are you, sister? Since you are friends with my sister Xiangping, why hasn't Xianchen seen you before?"

Hearing this, he would know that Zhou Xianchen would not tell about the matter between himself and Mo Lingzhi, and Xiangping, who was relieved, gave Xiao Jinxuan a grateful look, and then hurriedly introduced:

"Xianchen, this is Xiao Jinxuan, the daughter of the commander-in-chief's mansion, who is also my sister and my best sister. She will accompany my mother and concubine to participate in this palace banquet. You have to be well-behaved then, otherwise you will be disturbed by your stubbornness. Jinxuan, Seventh Brother must be the first to deal with you."

As soon as Xiangping mentioned Zhou Xianyu, the Ninth Prince immediately shivered in a very spineless way.

However, his eyes widened immediately, and then, as if he had discovered something precious, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's wrist.

Look eastward and westward for a long time, then suddenly said treacherously:
"Wow! The woman Seventh Brother likes is my sister. No wonder you dare to teach me a lesson. She really is Seventh Brother's favorite, but it's different from those timid and crying daughters of aristocratic families. Sister Jinxuan, you She's almost becoming my Seventh Emperor's Wife, from now on you can call me Xianchen, but you see I'm so obedient, you must protect me next time Brother Seven is playing tricks on others."

Zhou Xianchen's obviously childish words made Xiao Jinxuan and Xiangping amused immediately.

There are not many children who are so lively and lively, and anyone who sees them can't help but love them.

So after a while, the three of them chatted and laughed together, and then they walked towards Yanqing Palace together.

And when he arrived at Concubine Liang's bedroom, after Xiangping greeted him, he was anxious to repair the pearl bracelet, so he found a reason and left.

Although Xiao Jinxuan was worried that Xiangping would get too deep, but because she just entered the palace, Concubine Liang affectionately pulled her to have tea together.

So although she really wanted to go and see who Mo Lingzhi was, she had to put this idea aside for now.

Zhou Xianchen, who has always been playful, obviously hits it off with Xiao Jinxuan.

At this moment, he actually stayed by the other party's side honestly. Seeing this scene, Concubine Liang was secretly surprised and said:
"Jinxuan, you don't know that Chen'er was born with a weaker body due to the lack of months at birth. He was raised in another palace from the age of three or four. He used the hot spring water from the ground fire there to take daily baths to maintain his body. , because I didn't raise him by my side since I was a child, and because he was in poor health, it was inevitable that he would be spoiled. He is usually very naughty. But now it seems that he listens to you very much, which is really new .”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianchen immediately jumped from the small chair specially prepared for him to the ground and stood firmly.

He held Xiao Jinxuan's wrist affectionately, and said joyfully:
"Mother and concubine, you don't know. Sister Jinxuan is so different from other women. She told me many beautiful stories along the way, and she didn't have the affection of those daughters from aristocratic families. The baby made a little snowman, and she is my future sister-in-law of Seven Emperors, so Xianchen is naturally willing to get close to her sister."

Xiao Jinxuan is about to become her best daughter-in-law. Concubine Liang is naturally happy to see her youngest son get along with each other in such a harmonious way.

Immediately after chatting for a few more words, Concubine Liang clapped her hands slightly, and immediately a palace official came in from outside the bedroom holding a hairpin in a beautiful dress.

And when the things were put in front of her, Concubine Liang said with a smile on her eyes:
"Xianyu, I usually only think of him as careless, but I didn't expect that he has a heart. This time after you fell off the cliff and returned to the capital, when he came to pay my respects to the palace for the first time, he begged me to prepare a palace skirt for you. , so that Jinxuan can use it when she rushes to the state banquet. This set of purple gold brocade palace skirt with phoenix tail pattern took countless embroiderers in the palace to work day and night to make it."

Seeing the beautiful palace skirt in front of her eyes, which can be called a work of art, Xiao Jinxuan has been a human being in two lifetimes. Even if she was Princess Ling in her previous life, she has never worn such an inch-sized gold embroidered dress once.

Girls always like beautiful things. Although Xiao Jinxuan is not too particular about food and clothing, she naturally likes such an exquisite palace skirt.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been calm, after stroking the palace skirt a few times, withdrew her hand, shook her head and said with a chuckle:

"Even though this imperial dress of your empress is exquisite, Jinxuan really likes it very much, but the phoenix tail pattern on it is not something I can use. After all, the dragon and phoenix pattern is only worn by the royal family in my Zhou Dynasty. Jinxuan dare not wear it." Chao Yue, so I can only accept the empress's kindness."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was still so cautious at this time, not overstepping her status at all, Concubine Liang nodded in satisfaction, and then said kindly:
"My palace is a little older now, and my memory is far from as good as it was many years ago, but the level of decoration on this palace skirt is expensive. I have stayed in this palace for decades, and I will not be so confused as to make a mistake. Your Majesty I plan to write you into the royal genealogy on top of the state banquet, and become the adopted daughter of King Yongchang. By then, you will be the princess, and the imperial attire you are granted must not be sloppy, and this palace skirt with phoenix tail patterns is just right. It is worthy of your status as princess, so Jinxuan doesn't have to worry about overstepping, this is what you can enjoy."

Seeing and hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan finally stopped refusing. Concubine Liang looked at the other party kindly, and said with a hint of expectation:

"The emperor loves Xianyu this child, and his biological mother passed away early, so the sage always wants to give this child the best. Originally, he wanted to wait for the spring of the next year, when everything is prosperous, to marry you two, but the emperor I wanted the envoys from all countries to witness the marriage for you, so I advanced the arrangement. I called you into the palace one day in advance, in order to familiarize you with the rules and etiquette, so that you can save yourself the title of princess When the marriage was bestowed, your child was messing up. By tomorrow, Jinxuan will be Yu'er's prospective princess, and I'm very happy just thinking about it."
