Concubine's true colors

Chapter 511
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan not only had to deal with Queen Xue in the harem, but now she was also suppressed and excluded by Queen Chen, the situation was too difficult.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu felt distressed, but also because of Empress Chen's kindness in nurturing him.

He really couldn't do anything to this adoptive mother, so he wanted to persuade Xiao Jinxuan to leave the harem first.

When he assisted Zhou Xianrui to stabilize the throne and the court settled down, Zhou Xianyu would leave immediately, but his proposal was firmly rejected by Xiao Jinxuan.

And looking at Xiao Jinxuan's firm eyes, and what she said very seriously, she wanted to advance and retreat with him, and never leave first.

Zhou Xianyu only felt a warm feeling in his heart, and felt that it was the greatest blessing in his life to find a partner who was as courageous and tenacious as Xiao Jinxuan, and who stayed with him.

I clearly understand Xiao Jinxuan's character, she belongs to the kind of person who is rarely persuaded after making a decision.

Therefore, during this rare time when the two of them could be alone, Zhou Xianyu immediately stopped talking about those boring and boring topics.

On the contrary, it was a little clumsy helping Xiao Jinxuan rub her temples, while telling anecdotes about the court and outside the palace recently, helping the other party relieve the pressure.

Zhou Xianyu had never served anyone since he was born, but he saw Xiao Jinxuan squinting her eyes as comfortably as a kitten under his kneading and massaging, and even humming softly from time to time.

Zhou Xianyu, who was immediately encouraged, not only helped Xiao Jinxuan press his shoulders more seriously and gently, but also chatted with her and said:

"Jinxuan, now half a year has passed for Tuanzi, and this little guy has grown up completely. Originally, I wanted to ask Tuanzi to return to the mountains and live the life that should belong to it. But this fat man seems to live with people It's been too long, not only can it understand human language better, but also likes to stay in the barracks, seeing it doesn't want to be a normal bamboo bear anymore."

Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't seen Tuanzi for a long time, was taken by her side to take care of him since he was a child, so in her eyes, Tuanzi was no different from a child.

Therefore, upon hearing that Tuanzi was unwilling to return to the forest, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help asking worriedly:
"Because I live in the capital, Tuanzi is really not suitable to stay with me, so the other party can be said to be brought up by you, Xianyu. Now that it doesn't want to go back, to be honest, I can't bear not to see Tuanzi in the future. Xianyu You can have the best of both worlds, so that Tuanzi can continue to follow you, without making the other party too dependent on us. In the end, it will become like a domestic animal without the ability to protect itself. After all, if the little guy loses his wildness completely, that is not what I want I see."

As the overlord of the bamboo forest, Tuanzi ended up like a domestic puppy or cat, only knowing how to cling to people blindly, and lost the nature of being a beast.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but think of the other party's mother, the dying female bamboo bear, looking at Tuanzi with worried eyes before she died.She would feel that she had failed the other party and failed to take good care of Tuanzi.

Seeing the worry in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes about Tuanzi, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but immediately said what he had thought up in his heart.

"Jinxuan, I have actually considered your concerns, so since Tuanzi is inseparable from people, I don't want to go back to the mountains alone. If you agree, I want to train the other party into a beast of war, and I will use it as my pet in the future. Fight everywhere with me."

Xiao Jinxuan is well-read, so she naturally knows what the so-called war pets represent.

All along, among the hundreds of kingdoms, there are generals who specialize in taming ferocious beasts and then driving them to fight against the enemy.

As the brave and auspicious beast that assisted the Yellow Emperor in fighting against Chi You in ancient times, the bamboo bear became a pet of war.

But thinking of the bloody and cruelty of the battlefield, Xiao Jinxuan, who had long regarded Tuanzi as a family member, still hesitated.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's uneasiness in full view, Zhou Xianyu, who felt that his idea was quite feasible, couldn't help saying comfortingly:
"Jinxuan, I know you have always cherished Tuanzi very much. But the little guy doesn't want to go back to the mountains. I can indeed place him in the military camp for the rest of his life and provide him with endless bamboo shoots so that he won't be affected by anything. Hurt. But Bamboo Bear has always been smart and spiritual, and let Tuanzi go through his whole life in such a muddle-headed way. They fight each other to learn from each other, and the daily drills are very interesting. After all, it is a beast in the bamboo forest. No matter how simple and honest it is on weekdays, it has a bloodthirsty and warlike side. Becoming a war beast is not necessarily a bad thing for Tuanzi. After all, Master Jinxuan leads the army For many years, this point will not be misunderstood.”

Although Zhou Xianyu is only 22 years old now, he has extremely high attainments in the keen decision-making speed of war.

Since the other party felt that Tuanzi was suitable to be a fighting beast on the battlefield, even though Xiao Jinxuan was still worried, she still nodded and decided to trust Zhou Xianyu's decision unconditionally.

After the matter of Tuanzi was settled, the carriage also drove to the foot of the imperial city, and they had to separate after seeing each other warmly together.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu hugged Xiao Jinxuan in his arms quite reluctantly, and was unwilling to let her go for a long time, and muttered sullenly:
"Jinxuan, you must remember that it is not convenient for me to enter the palace at any time, but you hold the token given by the emperor's brother, and you can freely enter and leave the palace at any time. You must give me more to see you outside the palace alone If you are so busy that you always ignore me, believe it or not, you would even dare to overturn the walls of this forbidden palace, and then you will have to go to Zhaoyang Palace at night to catch you, so that you can get rid of the pain of lovesickness."

Xiao Jinxuan, who felt quite helpless against Zhou Xianyu, didn't want the other party to act recklessly and cause trouble.

Therefore, she hurriedly nodded and agreed that she would leave the palace in the future and find a chance to get together with each other.

Xiao Jinxuan is just introverted and rarely expresses her thoughts.

In fact, it is not only Zhou Xianyu who is reluctant to part, Xiao Jinxuan lives in the harem every day, and there is a day when he does not miss and worry about him.

After receiving Xiao Jinxuan's promise to her heart's content, she saw that the West Bird Gate of the Imperial Palace was within easy reach.

Zhou Xianyu also knew that he couldn't stay in the carriage, otherwise he would cause trouble, so he jumped out of the carriage and separated from Xiao Jinxuan.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who would still be alone in the carriage, smelled the smell of golden orchids that hadn't dissipated around her, and she couldn't help but feel a little empty in her heart.

The moment of tenderness between Shicai and Zhou Xianyu really filled her with nostalgia and reluctance.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help it, there was a chuckle on the corner of her mouth, thinking about Zhou Xianyu's clumsy massage and rubbing her shoulders just now.When my heart can't help but bursts of sweetness.

Suddenly the car door was pushed open, and then Wen Xin said in a worried tone:
"Jinxuan, look at the person coming to us from Xiquemen. It seems to be Concubine Shen. The carriage is not allowed here. I will help you get off the horse immediately, so I can go and ask the other party what's the matter." , actually guarding you back at the palace gate."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was immersed in thoughts full of tenderness, was actually a little distracted just now, but now she has turned her keen reaction into an instinct.

As soon as Wen Xin finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan not only immediately looked at Shen Wenqing who was rushing over, but also got out of the carriage without delay.

The tenderness and warmth in her heart subsided, and Xiao Jinxuan, who obviously felt that something might happen in the palace, immediately walked towards Shen Wenqing to greet her.

As for Shen Wenqing, who was watching this meeting, she couldn't care less about being dignified, and even trotted forward, she took Xiao Jinxuan's hand, and then breathlessly said:
"Jinxuan, you are back. I was so anxious that I couldn't help but go to the handsome mansion to look for you. Now that you are back, I finally let go of my heart."

Xiao Jinxuan has been refusing to let go of the power of the Sixth Palace for a long time. No matter how much she explains, outsiders will think her words are just excuses.

But just like the current Shen Wenqing, the other party is someone who will become a queen in the future, but he said a few words in a row, but none of them said anything to the point.

As a result, Xiao Jinxuan listened for a long time, except for being anxious, she didn't even know what the other party wanted to express.

Based on Shen Wenqing's ability to handle affairs, when the harem is stable, the other party may be a virtuous and generous queen.

But in today's turbulent environment in the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace, if Xiao Jinxuan hadn't been around to control the overall situation, it would only be a matter of time before the other party would be suppressed and crushed by the treacherous and cunning Queen Xue.

So seeing that Shen Wenqing was obviously panicked, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help comforting her, and asked guessingly:
"Sister Shen, don't worry, since I'm back, I won't make this harem turn upside down. You are looking for me in such a hurry, according to my sister, it must be related to Queen Xue."

Under Xiao Jinxuan's guidance, Shen Wenqing, who was panting and relieved a lot, couldn't help nodding her head immediately, and immediately said:

"Sister's predictions are right. Not long after you left the palace to attend the funeral at the commander's mansion, Lord Ye Ying, Fujiwara Xiu, was announced by Queen Xue to Fengxiang Palace on the pretext of offering the secret recipe for coral conservation. Although the queen mother and I also blocked it, But Mrs. Xue is now the Empress Dowager of the East Palace. She shuts the palace door tightly so that she won’t see us. Even though the Queen Mother is the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, there is nothing she can do about her. I always feel that Osamu Fujiwara’s intentions are not simple. Jinxuan, you can’t let her go. Good Empress Xue walked too close."

In fact, there is no need for Shen Wenqing to remind more, after Zhou Xianyu's [-] army was ambushed by Ye Ying last time.

Xiao Jinxuan realized that as Empress Xue who arranged all this in the dark, she must have some kind of close connection with Ye Yingguo.

Perhaps in Shen Wenqing's eyes, she just noticed something wrong unilaterally, but Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been thoughtful, thought more deeply.

After all, Osamu Fujiwara didn't enter the palace early or late, but the moment she left here, she rushed to the commander's mansion to mourn, and the other party ran to present the secret recipe to Empress Xue. No matter how you see, the Lord Yeying is deliberately avoiding her.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who was already extremely wary of the connection between Xue Hou and Ye Yingzai, felt that the other party's entry into the palace was not easy.

Immediately after comforting Shen Wenqing a few more words in a hurry, Xiao Jinxuan told Wenxin to return to Zhaoyang Palace to change immediately, and then went straight to Fengxiang Palace to find out.

After all, she is now dressed in plain clothes, and she has to change into a palace attire to meet Queen Xue. After all, if she wants to restrain others, she must first not be able to be attacked by others.

And no matter how serious the situation is, Xiao Jinxuan knows the importance of keeping calm.

Someone like Shen Wenqing who couldn't deal with Empress Xue panicked on her own.

The anxious look of the other party, trying to convince people to be in awe is nothing but a dream, and naturally Xiao Jinxuan would not make this kind of mistake.
