Concubine's true colors

Chapter 358

The quiet night breeze is gentle, and the elegant and quiet fragrance of plum blossoms slowly floats out from the gold-plated incense burner.

The round of bright moonlight through the window is quietly reflected on the ground of the house, everything is so peaceful and serene.

And because she first participated in the wedding ceremony, and then comforted Meng Liangjun who lost his composure and had an emotional breakdown at the big wedding, Xiao Jinxuan was indeed exhausted this day.

So now she sleeps very soundly, but after turning over, Xiao Jinxuan has already turned vigilance into a habit since she was reborn.

Still feeling very keenly, it seemed that someone was touching her forehead, and she opened her eyes almost instantly, and held the worry-free hairpin under the pillow in her hand.

And it was almost after she finished this series of movements, and at the same time she turned over and sat up in an instant, a lazy and evil chuckle was clearly heard in Xiao Jinxuan's ears.

And because of this shock, Xiao Jinxuan also quickly woke up from the sleep state.

Hearing this familiar voice, and the smell of golden orchids slowly overflowing around her, she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then said with light annoyance:
"Xianyu, why did you come here at this hour? It seems that you are really keen on climbing over the wall and entering through the window. Counting this time, it seems that this is the third time you have suddenly appeared at night. Do you know that you do this every day?" It scares me every time."

Zhou Xianyu already had excellent eyesight, so even now there are no candlesticks lit in Xiao Jinxuan's room.

But then, with the moonlight coming in from outside, he could still clearly see the face of the other party who was shy but annoyed.

"My Xuan'er is really sharp. She just wanted to see you and left, but she sat next to your bed not long before you found out. But if you know how to protect yourself, then it's considered that I'm not by your side Now, I feel a lot more at ease in my heart.”

After resting at night, Xiao Jinxuan naturally wouldn't wear the cumbersome skirts during the day, so she only wore single clothes, which exposed her skin, and she was busy wrapping the brocade quilt around her body as much as possible.

After hearing Zhou Xianyu's obvious words with deep meaning, she immediately hugged the quilt tightly because of shyness, and she, who has always been active in her mind, immediately asked tentatively:

"How do you say these words in a good manner? Could it be that the Beirong invaded this time, and you have to rush to the border in person."

When Xiao Jinxuan said this, there was more or less a sense of loss and reluctance in her tone.

In fact, ever since Emperor Ming bestowed a marriage for the two of them, Concubine Liang couldn't wait to ask Qin Tianjian to match their horoscopes to find the most suitable day for a big wedding.

The result after the deduction was exactly in July this year.

And if Zhou Xianyu went to the frontier fortress to retreat from the enemy in person, he would definitely not be able to come back by then, so their wedding date would also be postponed.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's reluctant expression, Zhou Xianyu was both happy and sad.

He was happy because Xiao Jinxuan cared about him, and he was sad because he couldn't bear to let the other party have any unhappy time.

Zhou Xianyu has always shown a lazy and free-spirited side in front of Xiao Jinxuan at any time.

This time, after sighing silently, he stretched out his hand and gently pulled the other person into his arms.

Resting her chin on Xiao Jinxuan's forehead, she smelled the faint fragrance of winter plums in the soft hair of the beautiful woman in her arms.

Zhou Xianyu only felt that at this moment, his restless heart gradually calmed down, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a feeling of happiness, which made him completely intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

"Jinxuan, I'm sorry, I know that the wedding is coming soon, and I shouldn't have left you to go to the battlefield. But you don't know how hateful those people in the court are, they even advocated using you as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Beirong. Tell the other party to retreat. But you are my Zhou Xianyu's wife. Even if I know that Beirong will not do anything to you, I can't bear you to suffer. Because when I come back, okay, after this incident is completely over, I will Don’t be this prince anymore, anyway, the Xiao family of the commander-in-chief is not your real relatives, so we will leave the capital, and the master will take you to the rivers and lakes, travel around the world, and never get involved in these right and wrong anymore.”

Nestling in Zhou Xianyu's arms, he could clearly feel the beating sound of his powerful heart.

Listening to the other party's blueprint for the future of the two, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help showing a smile.

"Actually, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. If it wasn't because of me, they wouldn't have had the chance to restrain you. Besides, since you left, His Highness Prince Rui is not in the capital, and the situation in the court might be changing again. But since Xianyu, you have no intention of party and government, and are even more tired of these things, then after you come back this time, we will leave this whirlpool of power. In fact, the days when the years are quiet and free from disputes are also what I have longed for for a long time .”

Hearing that Xiao Jinxuan agreed so easily, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help chuckling and said after being taken aback for a moment:

"Xuan'er, do you still remember the scene when we met for the first time? I will never forget it in my life. When I saw you for the first time, you used all your tricks to avoid the persecution of your sisters, and even took the opportunity to treat that evil Xiao Jinfu well." I rectified it a bit. Later, in order to avoid the pursuers, I accidentally got into your carriage, Jinxuan, do you think this is due to fate?"

Because of Zhou Xianyu's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help thinking of the scenes with the other party when she was in Yangzhou, and the depths of her eyes couldn't help being tinged with tenderness.

In fact, when it comes to the first meeting between the two, Xiao Jinxuan is very clear in her heart. In detail, it should be the time when she came back from rebirth, was trapped in a wooden cage, and was rescued by the other party with a sword.

But regarding this matter, Xiao Jinxuan did not plan to tell Zhou Xianyu until now, after all, being locked in a cage is not something glorious.

And Xiao Jinxuan knew in her heart that every time she mentioned the experience of suffering in Meizhuang, Zhou Xianyu's expression would be extremely serious, even more angry and sad than the person who suffered from it.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan didn't want Zhou Xianyu to bear these unpleasant things with her.

So since the other party regarded the time at the foot of Meishan as the first time they met, Xiao Jinxuan didn't intend to correct the other party.

Gently covering the back of Zhou Xianyu's hand, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help falling into memories, and said with a happy face:

"Now that I think about it, there are indeed too many memories of us in Meishan. Except for the time you accidentally hid in my carriage, in fact, the cold plums and snow under the fireworks on New Year's Eve is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. When we leave the capital After this land of right and wrong, it would be great to return to Yangzhou, I really want to see the plum blossoms on Meishan.”

Holding Xiao Jinxuan in her arms like this, she quietly listened to the other party talking softly.

Zhou Xianyu really liked this feeling very much. Seeing the proposal made by the other party, without thinking about it, he immediately agreed and said:
"If Xuan'er really likes it, then why is it so difficult for us to settle down at the foot of Meishan, and live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset every day. However, although there are no plum blossoms to enjoy in this solar term in the capital, if you don't Sleepy, I will take you to a place now, I believe you will like it."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan immediately looked at Zhou Xianyu in surprise, and then said with a trace of hesitation in her eyes:

"It's getting dark now, and it's pitch dark outside. It's inappropriate to go out like this."

After all, Xiao Jinxuan is a woman from a noble family, and this kind of reckless and disregard of propriety is really embarrassing for her.

But with Zhou Xianyu's temperament, he had to act immediately when he thought of something.

Therefore, seeing Xiao Jinxuan hesitated, his expression immediately changed, and he said pitifully:

"If there is no accident for Jinxuan, I will be leaving the frontier fortress in a few days. The time I can spend with you will be one hour less after an hour. Anyway, you are awake now, just treat it as being with me Why not, the scenery under the moon cannot be seen during the day, if you don’t agree today, then I will have regrets before going out.”

The longer we get along, the more Zhou Xianyu can figure out Xiao Jinxuan's temperament now.

If he blindly describes how charming and beautiful the place he is taking Xiao Jinxuan to is now, then the other party may not be moved.

On the contrary, if he said that he wanted to go, and showed a look of disappointment and grievance, then Xiao Jinxuan, whose personality is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, would basically not refuse.

As expected by Zhou Xianyu, Xiao Jinxuan, who originally wanted to persuade the other party to leave quickly, looked at the other party's disappointed appearance.

Thinking of each other, it is true that they will be separated for a long time, and she couldn't bear to say a word if she refused immediately. After smiling helplessly, she then nodded and agreed.

And as soon as the other party agreed, Zhou Xianyu's aggrieved expression disappeared, and he approached Xiao Jinxuan with a smile, and said eagerly:
"Jinxuan, do you have any wine here? I was very angry with those old officials in the court today. Now that I am accompanied by a beautiful woman like you, it would be great if I were here to drink fine wine."

Knowing that the other party's expedition has been decided, now that Zhou Xianyu has this request, Xiao Jinxuan will naturally not satisfy the other party as much as possible.

"In the small kitchen warehouse of Lianqiaoyuan, there are some fine wines. I'll take you to get them. It will save you from making too much noise and disturbing the dreams of Zhu Xin and others. After all, it's not everyone's big night. Still as energetic as you."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she stood up wrapped in a quilt, and went behind the screen to arrange her clothes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but think of that time when he broke into Xiao Jinxuan's room, just in time for her to take a bath, and the incident where the two were lingeringly intertwined.

That was Zhou Xianyu's first kiss to Xiao Jinxuan. Although the consequences were extremely serious and the other party had annoyed him for a long time, he would never forget the feeling at that time in his life.

And when Xiao Jinxuan came out from behind the screen, she saw that the other party was about to open the door, Zhou Xianyu smiled wickedly, and stepped forward to embrace the other party.

"Where Master You still needs Xuan'er to take the trouble to walk, let's use lightness kung fu to be faster, remember to hold on to me, let's start now."
