Concubine's true colors

Chapter 413
After Zhou Xianyu and Tuanzi left one after another, Xiao Jinxuan was worried about being emotionally hurt.

She didn't even take off her wedding dress, and in the end she was so tired and sleepy from crying and crying that she fell asleep in a daze.

First of all, the big wedding was tossed all day during the day, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was not well-raised at night, was not taken care of.

Although she never had the habit of waking up late, but this morning, she was still exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, with no sign of waking up at all.

But Xiao Jinxuan's sleep, which was rare to rest, was still disturbed by Zhu Xin's angry exclamation and the noisy sound of the door being pushed open.

Rubbing her forehead with one hand, Xiao Jinxuan sat up on the floppy bed. When her eyes were still tired and dry, a sarcastic sneer came into her ears first.

"Look quickly, our side concubine sister actually fell asleep in her wedding dress on the night of the wedding. It seems that the prince did not come on the wedding night, and sister Xiao must have been crying to death. Look at those red and swollen eyes, It really hurts my sister to see it."

Although Xiao Jinxuan didn't open her eyes because of the splitting headache and the swelling pain in her eyes.

But her memory has always been good, and the voice is enough for her to tell that the speaker is none other than Xue Yuyan from Prince Rui's residence, the daughter of the Xue family who shares the title of side concubine with her.

And when Xiao Jinxuan finally opened her eyes, she saw two well-dressed women following behind Xue Yuyan.

And one of them was a woman who was older than Xue Yuyan, wearing a royal blue skirt.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, she immediately pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"What Concubine Xue said is true, but on this wedding night, I will stay alone in the vacant room, and no one will be able to bear it if I change it. However, from the perspective of my concubine, sister Xiao comes from a famous family in a handsome mansion, so she must be virtuous and magnanimous. The prince has always focused on For official business, if you don't come to my sister's house for three or five days to consummate the room, my sister must not be upset."

On the wedding night, the husband did not stay in the room.This is the most painful blow for any woman, and it is also a shameless thing that cannot hold her head up.

So the older woman just finished speaking, and immediately followed behind Xue Yuyan, the youngest wearing a pomegranate-colored skirt, obviously also the woman of Zhou Xianrui's concubine, immediately smiled contemptuously, and said in an indifferent way:
"From a famous family in the commander-in-chief's mansion, I'm just a concubine. Although I, Xu Tingyin, is only the daughter of the commander of the Xiaoqi camp, I am at least a concubine. Some people turn into phoenixes, so I don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Originally, I saw the prince personally arranging the wedding. It is also widely rumored that His Highness is fascinated by the witch. From my point of view, this so-called pampering is nothing more than that. Even the prince of the wedding night still stays in the study and has not come here once. This is really the biggest joke in Prince Rui's residence today. .”

Seeing the three girls in front of them, they all laughed unscrupulously after speaking.

Xiao Jinxuan ignored these people, but said loudly to the outside:

"Come in, Zhuxin, and set up hot water for me. I want to take a shower and change clothes. As for the idlers, clear them all out immediately. If anyone is unwilling to leave, they should be kept outside. Just blast away."

None of Xue Yuyan and the three daughters standing in the room thought that the first sentence Xiao Jinxuan uttered would be to kick someone out.

A side concubine who had just entered the palace and hadn't consummated the wedding on the wedding night dared to be so arrogant, immediately the obviously impulsive Xu Tingyin stood up again.

"Your name is Xiao Jinxuan, right? This is not your handsome Xiao family. In Prince Rui's mansion, don't you know that even Concubine Shen wants to show respect to our side concubine Xue? She is just a poor person who is neglected after entering the palace. It’s nothing more than worms, and you dare to drive us out, it’s really beyond our control.”

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan, who was dressed in a wedding dress, also stood up from the bed, and after lowering her head and humming, she walked in front of Xu Tingyin unyieldingly.

Looking at the other party's delicate face, Xiao Jinxuan's expression immediately turned cold, and she said reprimanded:

"Before the big wedding, I also heard from the prince that there is a main concubine in Prince Rui's mansion, one side concubine and three concubines. Although Xu Tingyin is a concubine, your temper is even stronger than my side concubine. It seems In Prince Rui's mansion, there really are no rules, if you don't kneel down when you see this side concubine, you are waiting for a meal and your family law will fail."

All along, in this royal mansion, the aristocratic families are respected and orderly, and the rules must not be messed up in the slightest.

So now that Xiao Jinxuan was pressing her as a side concubine, Xu Tingyin's face turned red immediately, but she couldn't refute her.

Seeing that the other party was no longer arrogant, Xiao Jinxuan turned her head to look at the woman in the sapphire blue satin skirt, and said in a cold voice:

"Looking at your age, you should be the dowry of Princess Shen, who later climbed into Prince Rui's bed and was raised as a concubine Wu. You didn't understand the rules when you were a slave, but now you are a concubine. Half a master, but still can't learn how to behave. Knowing that you gave birth to a daughter to Prince Rui, there is only one child in the palace now. But Mrs. Wu hopes that you'd better restrain yourself in front of me, otherwise I won't be as good as Princess Shen Can you understand what I said?"

Since Xiao Jinxuan decided to marry into Prince Rui's residence, apart from knowing a lot about the big and small matters in the back house, she also asked Wen Xin to investigate in private, besides Zhou Xianrui.

But Xiao Jinxuan directly pointed out her not-so-glorious past when she heard it.

Originally born as a servant girl, the Wu family lacked confidence and was somewhat timid.Dang even wanted to kneel down and admit his mistake to Xiao Jinxuan.

But just when Wu shi squatted halfway down, Xue Yuyan, who was standing nearby, directly supported her tightly.

This Xue Yuyan is actually only three years older than Xiao Jinxuan, she is seventeen this year, although she has only been married into Prince Rui's residence for two years.However, relying on the power of her mother's Xiangfu, she has always done things extremely recklessly.

And this Wu family and Xu Tingyin, in this palace, can be said to have always followed her lead.

In addition, Shen Wenqing has an indisputable generosity, a virtuous and dignified temperament, and she never wants to fuss about small things.

And this further contributed to Xue Yuyan's stance of being confident and dominating alone in the back residence of the palace.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu, who is regarded as one of her own, wants to kneel down to Xiao Jinxuan, in Xue Yuyan's view, it is undoubtedly an insult to her.

Therefore, even though she and Xiao Jinxuan were side concubines on the throne, Xue Yuyan raised her chin and said extremely arrogantly:
"Sister Xiao, this Mrs. Wu is an old man in the palace. You have forced the other party to kneel and admit his mistake. If the news reaches the ears of the lord, my sister will not be afraid to be disgusted by His Highness. After all, what is Mrs. Wu doing?" Then I will give birth to a daughter for the prince, compared to a side concubine like you who has not consummated the house, I am afraid that it is really half a catty, no one will lose to anyone."

It was heard that Xue Yuyan actually compared herself with a concubine in the palace, and even made provocative words again and again.

How could Xiao Jinxuan, who has seen such big winds and waves before, stumbled in this mere housewife's petty fights, so after seeing her calmly smile, she said slowly:

"Sister Xiao? Concubine Xue, please pay attention to your words and deeds. Even though I, Xiao Jinxuan, have no real status as a concubine, I am still a member of the Yongchang Palace, and I am the Princess Zhaoyang recorded in the royal family book. And Sisters of the imperial family, Xue Yuyan, you are just the daughter of Xue Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War. The daughter of a mere minister, but committing such a crime, this princess is really impatient to see you."

Since marrying into Prince Rui's residence, Xue Yuyan has been used to smooth sailing, when has she ever been squeezed like this by others.

But as the so-called high-ranking officials overwhelm people, even though Xiao Jinxuan is a concubine from the Shuai Mansion, Xue Yuyan's status as the princess of Zhaoyang cannot even be matched by flattery.

Seeing words, the three people on my side were all defeated.

Xue Yuyan knew in her heart that if she couldn't handle Xiao Jinxuan's words today, she would probably become unattainable if she wanted to rule alone in Prince Rui's Palace in the future.

Therefore, she put her mind to one side, although she knew that Xiao Jinxuan was also a side concubine, but Xue Yuyan was still going to give the other party a blow in order to stabilize her position.

And because of the support of Xiangfu and Empress Xue, Xue Yuyan is also very confident.

So she immediately called in all the maids and women who were staying outside, and surrounded Xiao Jinxuan.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan who can hardly fly with wings, Xue Yuyan showed a smug smile, and then said arrogantly:
"It doesn't matter if you are a member of the commander-in-chief's mansion or the status of the princess. Since you have entered Prince Rui's mansion, then I, Xue Yuyan, have to set up rules for you to make you understand who is in charge here. Xiao Jinxuan, you can either immediately Kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake, or I will ask these maids to bring you into the secret room and greet you with ox hair fine needles, and you can choose what you want to do."

Being a human being in two lifetimes, Xiao Jinxuan has been in the back house for so long, and she knows a lot about those insidious methods.

This so-called ox hair fine needle, as the name suggests, is a small inch-long needle as thin as ox hair.

Because it is too small, although the needle is extremely painful when stuck on a person's body, it will not leave any traces, not even blood.

And this sinister thing has always been a method used by the wife of the main wife in the back house to torture the concubine.

But as soon as Xue Yuyan had finished speaking, the women around were about to catch Xiao Jinxuan.

Just when the scene was a little out of control, suddenly Zhou Xianrui's calm, extremely annoyed voice rang out from the door.

"Whoever allows you people to disturb Jinxuan's rest, it is really getting more and more unruly. Come here! Detain these Diao women who intend to be disrespectful to the side concubine. Each of them will be charged with a hundred sticks." , to serve as an example to others."

Almost as soon as Zhou Xianrui's voice came, Xue Yuyan and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.

Except for Xiao Jinxuan who was still motionless, everyone knelt down on the ground in unison.

In fact, the reason why Xue Yuyan dared to act recklessly was because Zhou Xianrui had always left the palace to go to court at this hour.

But now seeing that the other party came back, Xue Yuyan couldn't help kneeling on the ground and bowed her head, secretly feeling that she was really unlucky.

Just when Zhou Xianrui looked extremely displeased, staring at the people kneeling on the ground and not speaking.

Suddenly, a woman wearing a willow-green mandarin duck skirt came out from beside him, and the other party was even more anxious, and she came to Xiao Jinxuan in a few steps.

Then I saw this woman, first to Xiao Jinxuan, after a respectful salute, then said softly:

"As a concubine, Su Qin has met Concubine Xiao, and now seeing that Concubine Xiao is all right, Su Qin is relieved."
