Concubine's true colors

Chapter 430 Preparing to Enter the Palace
And just when Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help feeling unhappy about the retribution, Xiao Jinyu, who was sitting on the ground and kept begging her, suddenly yelled.

When Xiao Jinxuan heard the sound and looked over, she realized that it was a big mouse. Maybe it was trapped in the dungeon for too long, and her eyes were red from hunger.

Unafraid of people, it directly bit Xiao Jinyu's calf, no matter how the opponent shook it, the mouse just squeaked and refused to let go, as if it wanted to bite off a bite of flesh.

Crying and screaming, the cell was crawling around indiscriminately, Xiao Jinyu had lost nothing of the elegance of a lady in these two months of dungeon life.

In the past, if there was a little dust in the room, she would have to scold the maid, but now as long as she can live in the sun, she no longer needs to get along with these rat ants.

Then Xiao Jinyu would be content, and would not have any extravagant demands.

But for Xiao Jinyu, the life-and-death enemy who robbed her husband, killed her child, and finally forced her to dig out her heart to death in the previous life, Xiao Jinxuan naturally would not feel any pity.

After all, the other party seems to be in a bleak situation now, but in her previous life, compared with her being imprisoned in the dungeon of King Ling's Mansion and being beaten and tortured every day, Xiao Jinyu's life now is simply a pleasant enjoyment.

Seeing that Xiao Jinyu was alive and well, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel relieved, but just when she was about to tell Wenxin to explain her purpose for coming to the dungeon.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind her, but it attracted Xiao Jinxuan's attention.

After turning around, Xiao Jinxuan finally saw someone coming.And she knew this person very well, it was Xiao Jinyu's personal servant girl, that Baoge who was often abused.

Xiumei couldn't help raising her eyebrows, looking at the food box in Baoge's hand, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help asking softly in doubt:
"Wenxin, is it possible that Baoge is the person who delivers meals to Xiao Jinyu every day? She is just a servant, and it is not up to her to decide what kind of master she follows. When she served my sister-in-law before, Baoge She was beaten and scolded a lot. So don't make things difficult for her, hand over the deed of sale to the other party, and ask her to regain her freedom and leave the palace."

Before Wenxin could reply, she never expected to see Xiao Jinxuan's Baoge in the dungeon. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately put the food box on the ground, then knelt on the ground to respectfully salute.

"It turned out to be Miss Jinxuan. The slave girl Baoge greeted the lady. Don't misunderstand the Xin Zhangyuan. The slave girl invited her to stay and deliver meals to Miss Jinyu every day. After all, I have never entered the handsome mansion. So she grew up with Miss. Now that the other party is in this situation, Baoge dare not expect Miss Jinxuan to be noble. But the servants still have to do their duty, how can they ignore her when their own lady is in trouble? .”

Xiao Jinxuan had seen with her own eyes how Baoge was beaten all over her body.

But now seeing that the other party is still a loyal servant, for some reason she suddenly thought of Chi Ling and the three daughters of Lingxiao Qiongzhi.

Feeling sore in my heart, looking at Baoge who was thin and kneeling on the ground, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but blurted out:
"It's rare for you to have this kind of loyalty. Baoge, if you want, you can follow me in the future. As for Xiao Jinyu, it's meaningless for you to stay. If you want to be free, I can also ask Wen Xin to give it to me." You pay a sum of money, and then send you out of the house, how to choose is up to you."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan is now a dignified side concubine, she is still worrying about her own way out.

Immediately, Bao Ge was abducted by human traffickers since she was a child and had no idea where her relatives were. She was so moved that she burst into tears.

Kowtowed to Xiao Jinxuan again, Baoge looked hesitantly at Xiao Jinyu in the cell, and said in a low voice:

"The servant was abducted by human traffickers at the age of five and sold to the matchmaker, and then entered the commander's mansion until today. Baoge has no skills, but only learned how to serve the master. Therefore, the servant does not know what he can do when he leaves the mansion. What, so Miss Jinxuan will not give up, and Baoge is willing to stay by your side from now on."

But having said that, Baoge glanced at Xiao Jinyu's cell again, and said worriedly:
"But this servant is so bold that I still want to ask Miss Jinxuan for a favor. Even if Miss Jinyu is imprisoned in the dungeon, can I give her some rice and clean water to drink? I have been serving Miss for nearly ten years, and finally I still want to Do something for her."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smiled more satisfied.

After all, after hearing what she said just now, Baoge couldn't wait, happily agreed, and didn't care about Xiao Jinyu's life or death.

Then Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but suspect that the sudden appearance of this Baoge was just acting with her, deceiving her with the illusion of honesty.

It has to be said that this person has been in a conspiracy and dangerous environment for a long time, and his personality will be subtly affected.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, Xiao Jinxuan is indeed good at planning, but at the same time, people who are good at planning are often the most suspicious.

Under such exhaustion, she couldn't really trust others all the time. I have to say that this was an extremely sad and sad thing for Xiao Jinxuan.

However, under the slight temptation, Baoge still did not abandon Xiao Jinyu, but was still pleading for the other party.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was completely relieved, immediately helped her up with her own hands, and said to Wenxin:

"Take my sister-in-law out of the dungeon and place her in a secluded courtyard in the palace. If I guess right, maybe she will come in handy right away. When the time comes, her energy and blood will be exhausted, and she will be as emaciated as a female ghost. Then When Ji Lingfeng saw it, wouldn't he blame me for not taking good care of the person he likes?"

In fact, even without Bao Ge's kneeling begging, Xiao Jinxuan came to the dungeon today to resettle Xiao Jinyu.

After all, Bai Liu came to ask for someone today, and Xiao Jinxuan immediately felt keenly that Zhou Xiantai probably wanted to use Ji Lingfeng.

And this can further show that the mother and son, Empress Xue, together with the Xiangfu, must take action.

This woman's appearance is the most important thing. Xiao Jinyu was raised in a charming way. Only when necessary can she touch Ji Lingfeng's heart better.

If the other party is kept in the dungeon with disheveled hair and long-winded clothes, not to mention that Ji Lingfeng's compassion will be greatly reduced, even a normal person will be respected and kept at a distance.

And although Wenxin was not very happy to let Xiao Jinyu go so easily, but he would never disobey Xiao Jinxuan's words, so he also bowed and left to do it.

And since Bai Shu left, Xiao Jinxuan, who has only Zhu Xin serving by her side, is actually a little short of staff in daily life.

Therefore, when Baoge came to her side, Xiao Jinxuan's daily life was indeed taken care of more securely, and after such a short period of time, another month passed quietly.

It's September, the green grass outside is gradually withering and yellowing, the leaves are falling, and the weather is getting cooler and colder. Xiao Jinxuan can't leave her cloak when she gets up in the morning.

Opening the window as always, breathing in the fresh air that was mixed with the cold feeling, Xiao Jinxuan sprinkled a handful of millet outside the window again, waiting for flocks of sparrows to come for food.

Now that two months have passed, Zhou Xianrui, who got up immediately when he heard the wooden window being opened, also walked out from the other side of the screen.

Taking a few steps to the window, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was dressed in regular clothes, with her hair loosened casually, showing a lazy and peaceful air.

Zhou Xianrui seemed to have dissipated a lot of the tension brought about by the government over the past few days.

After drinking the ginseng tea that Xiao Jinxuan prepared for him on the table, Zhou Xianrui said in a calm voice:
"In a flash, Jinxuan, you have been in Prince Rui's Mansion for two months. According to the royal family's ancestral precepts, two months is considered a wedding, and then you will enter the palace to serve tea to your father, queen, and queen."

Because she felt a little cold, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help wrapping her shawl around her body again, and then saw that she didn't look back, just stared at the flying bird with a smile, and then said lightly:
"Empress Xue's post was delivered half a month ago. Today, you and I are going to the palace to offer tea to her and His Majesty. It's just an ordinary etiquette, but our empress wants to hold a big family banquet. I always feel that There’s something abnormal about this.”

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, a trace of hesitation flashed in Zhou Xianrui's eyes.

But no matter what happened, since Xiao Jinxuan entered the mansion, he has never hidden anything from the other party, and in the end he still said bluntly:
"Jinxuan, as far as I know yesterday, Xianyu will also attend today's family banquet. In fact, if you feel inconvenient, you can go to the banquet alone. You can justify that you are unwell, and others can't say anything."

Holding a handful of millet, he was about to throw it out of the window, but when he heard that Zhou Xianyu would go to the palace for a banquet today.

Xiao Jinxuan panicked for no reason, and even threw the millet in her hand on the edge of the window.

After feeding for two consecutive months, the little sparrows outside have long been told that they are no longer afraid of Xiao Jinxuan.

So seeing that the millet on the ground was eaten up, but there was still yellow millet to eat by the window, all the little sparrows immediately chirped and flew over.

Although there is nothing scary about these little birds when there are one or two of them, but when a group of them rush over, their sharp beaks and barb-like claws can easily injure people.

And seeing Xiao Jinxuan not only scattered the millet on the window frame, but also froze there with a dazed expression, as if she didn't see the flock of birds flying towards her at all.

I'm afraid that the other party will make a mistake, or get scratched somewhere.Immediately, Zhou Xianrui stretched out his hand subconsciously to grab the other's wrist, and then gently pulled Xiao Jinxuan towards him.

After being pulled like this, Xiao Jinxuan really came back to her senses, but because she didn't understand the situation at hand, she was unprepared and lost her footing, so she staggered straight into Zhou Xianrui's arms.

The moment the two phases touch each other, their reactions and feelings are completely different.

This week Xianrui admired Xiao Jinxuan wholeheartedly, and now that a beautiful woman is in his arms, it is not because of Liu Xiahui's ability to sit still.

Immediately, a burst of lust and deep tenderness rippled through his heart.

As for Xiao Jinxuan who was looking at this meeting, since she came back from her rebirth, she has never liked to get too close to people, even when she was taking a bath on weekdays, she would not stay by her side.

I am afraid that in this world, the only person who can make Xiao Jinxuan let go of her nervousness and feel that she can cuddle up with peace of mind is no one else except Zhou Xianyu.

Therefore, it can be seen that the moment she bumped into Zhou Xianrui's arms, she instinctively pushed him quickly.

He retreated more than a dozen steps back again and again, and after opening the distance, he stood there blushing in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.
