Concubine's true colors

Chapter 55
Chi Ying thought for a while, and replied calmly: "He has a deep plan, is extremely good at planning, and cherishes His Highness, it is a perfect match."

Zhou Xianrui turned around, looked at Chi Ying with interest, and suddenly smiled.

"You don't talk so much on weekdays, but you're right. I do love the Fourth Miss in my heart, but I appreciate it more. Cherishing each other may not necessarily lead to falling in love. What's more, I have married Mrs. Shen as my concubine. What do you think? Xiao Jinxuan would be subservient to other women, even if I am afraid that the king will grant her the position of side concubine and receive the same treatment as a concubine, she will most likely not agree."

Chi Ying's eyes exposed outside the mask flashed a look of relief, knowing that Prince Rui's words really made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

Zhou Xianrui had long been used to Chi Ying's taciturnity, sighed, and a lonely expression rarely appeared on his resolute face.

"From what she said just now, it can be seen that what she wants is a couple for a lifetime. This king can't give her, but the seventh brother can do it. One is the woman I admire, and the other is my brother. , if the two of them can come together, the king will be happy to see it happen."

As for himself, the world in this Great Zhou is too clear, to assist the Mingjun, and to support the court, this is his lifelong wish, and the personal relationship between his children, although affectionate, is not the most important thing in his heart.

As the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has long been prepared. He will dedicate his life to the Great Zhou Dynasty. He will do his best and die!
Although the weather in March is still cold, without the heavy snow, the sun is shining every day. This long-lost warmth makes people nostalgic.

It has been more than a month since the sixth prince was escorted to Beijing, and without the restraint of the sixth prince and Song Peng, Zhou Xianrui took drastic measures to wipe out the entire officialdom in Yangzhou during this time.

Although Ji Lingfeng obstructed him a lot during this period, he could do nothing alone, and he had no power or position. Yangzhou officials are now frightened. No matter how good his strategy is, it will be useless if no one cooperates.

Zhou Xianrui rectified the administration of officials and investigated the corruption of the salt transport, and no one can control him half a step.

And under Xiao Jinxuan's instigation, Xiao Heng also sent a pair of personal soldiers to support Zhou Xianrui.

For a time, corrupt officials in Yangzhou were in danger, but the common people applauded.

Zhou Xianrui's reputation as a virtuous king is even more popular than ever, and his prestige is unmatched by anyone in Yangzhou.

If it is said that the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the hearts of the common people, then only Xiao Jinxuan who resisted the snowstorm and gave relief.

And this Fourth Miss Xiao, who was hiding behind and fueling the flames, is living a very leisurely and contented life now.

Zhou Xianrui was busy in front of him, but she was hiding in the boudoir, concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

She had been contemplating a poem about plum blossoms for a long time, and she was halfway through writing when the door of the room was pushed open suddenly. With a flick of her pen, this good calligraphy was completely destroyed in an instant.

There was a little annoyance between her brows, Xiao Jinxuan raised her head and looked at the person who came, it turned out to be Yulan, the maid who was in charge of guarding the courtyard outside.

"Frizzled, if Wenxin is not here, you can't guard this courtyard well. Why are you so flustered? There is no stability at all."

Wenxin's mother has passed the New Year, but her illness has become more and more serious. Baishu went to take care of her, and she also sent a doctor, but she didn't get better.

So Xiao Jinxuan simply asked Wen Xin to go home to fulfill her filial piety. After half a month, she didn't see him anymore.

This Magnolia sticks out her tongue, even though it is said, she is not afraid.Because Xiao Jinxuan is still very generous to her servants, she can't help but say a few words at most.

The fourth young lady has been back in the mansion for so long, except for driving Lan Zhi out with a slap in the face, she has never touched any of the servants, so among the servants, she has a very good reputation, and even everyone is eager to enter Wanxiang The cabinet is on duty.

"Miss, it's the servant who is reckless, but someone from the mansion came to report that a young master surnamed Ji begged to see you, so the servant came over and asked if you wanted to see that person."

As soon as she heard that the surname was Ji, Xiao Jinxuan slammed the pen on the table heavily. No need to ask, who else could this person be besides Ji Lingfeng.

Annoyance flashed in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, and she said directly: "No, tell him to go, just say that I have nothing to say to him."

Now that Ji Lingfeng is here in Yangzhou, being suppressed by Prince Rui is like a bereaved dog, she doesn't know how to vent her anger, how can she create trouble by herself, and go to see the person she hates the most.

But just when Yulan was about to walk out of the room, Xiao Jinxuan stopped her again.

"Wait, ask the guard to let Ji Lingfeng in, I want to see why he came to see me."

It has to be said that when Xiao Jinxuan faced Ji Lingfeng, her psychology was extremely complicated. Seeing her disgusted her, and seeing her, she couldn't help wondering why the other party came.

Not long after, Ji Lingfeng was brought in, and Xiao Jinxuan naturally met him in the small living room in front of the boudoir.

Looking at Ji Lingfeng, who was dressed in an emerald green bamboo and white gown, full of elegance, in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, there was a momentary trance, as if she had returned to her previous life. When the two were still husband and wife, the other party also had such a demeanor Pianpian, looks good.

It's just that things are different now, and she is no longer the ignorant and ignorant little girl she used to be. Looking at the handsome face of the other party, she has no admiration, only endless hatred.

After Ji Lingfeng came in, he found that Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting at the head, just looked at him with cold eyes, didn't speak, let alone be rude, and just let him stand here.

"Miss Si, I know that you have a grudge against me, but the visitor is a guest, so you should invite me to a seat."

After hearing the other party's words, Xiao Jinxuan lowered her eyes, picked up the brown sugar ginseng tea in her hand, and took a sip.

"Master Ji is serious. There are quite a few chairs in this hall. If you want to sit, you can just choose one yourself. How dare Jinxuan neglect a distinguished guest."

A smile flashed in Ji Lingfeng's eyes. The other party's words seemed to allow him to sit down, but let him choose by himself. This shows that the host of the other party did not treat him as a guest, so he was stingy. He didn't even want to say a word.

Sure enough, this woman is the most vindictive, offended once, the other party can trip you up everywhere, wear small shoes, but it is this small temper that makes women look more interesting.

Especially for a smart woman like Xiao Jinxuan, it's not only interesting, but also absolutely dangerous to play with her temper, but Ji Lingfeng is getting more and more like a sweetheart.

He didn't care, Xiao Jinxuan's indifference faced him, Ji Lingfeng really found a chair by himself, and sat down.

Then he smiled and said: "I came here today to bid farewell to Miss Fourth. Tomorrow I will return to the capital. I hope Miss will take good care of herself. I hope you and I will meet again in the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan was not surprised, this Yangzhou is Zhou Xianrui's world now, and with Xiao Heng's assistance, the second prince's faction is doomed, if Ji Lingfeng doesn't get away, is it possible to wait for Prince Rui to attack him.

Glancing at the other party coldly, Xiao Jinxuan said indifferently: "Then I wish Mr. Ji a smooth journey, but you and I don't have a close friendship. You really don't have to come and say goodbye to me today. As for whether we can see you again in the future, I am also very concerned about the future." Looking forward to it."

It's not just anticipation, the day we meet is when she, Xiao Jinxuan, returns to the capital. At that time, the grievances between the two of them should be settled. With her, there will never be a time when Ji Lingfeng can't enjoy himself.

Ji Lingfeng didn't know that the other party was in his heart, and wished to cut him into pieces, but he smiled elegantly, then took out a bronze mirror from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Jinxuan.

"This thing should have been given to Miss Fourth on New Year's Eve, but I was injured at that time, so I really couldn't walk around, so I delayed it until now. Now it should be a parting gift. I hope Miss can see this bronze mirror on weekdays." , you can remember it next time."

Reaching out to take the bronze mirror, he saw that the mirror was very exquisitely made. The oval mirror had a peony pattern on the back and a full circle of rubies around the edge.

The handle of the mirror is also made of fine copper, twined with gold and silver double wires, and round pearls are strung in the middle. Although this bronze mirror is small, it is extremely luxurious and makes people look sideways.

When Ji Lingfeng saw Xiao Jinxuan, he didn't refuse, and even played with it in his hand, the smile on his face deepened a little.

Women, aren't they all the same, they all like these jeweled and useless things, as long as they like what they like, they are afraid that the other party will reject them.

Then I saw Ji Lingfeng, a look of complacency flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Xiao Jinxuan affectionately.

"Miss Si, we don't know each other. You can hide it from others, but I know that Prince Rui was able to control it so quickly. The political situation in Yangzhou is inseparable from your assistance."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was silent, Ji Lingfeng smiled and said, "When you were in the Song Mansion, you would pick and humiliate Yuanning County Lord in public, so that I would not be able to step down. Later, Xiao Jinlian lost her virginity, and the grievances of the Minced Meat case confessed, and Qian Yingluo's Death, the sixth prince was accused of murder, all of this has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Jinxuan raised the bronze mirror and looked into the mirror. Her eyes, which were as cold as a cold pool, smiled slightly.

"Jinxuan didn't understand what Mr. Ji said, but if you just say that I did these things, then so be it. You should be satisfied with this. If Mr. Ji came to ask me these things today, then I will answer you." Here you go, you can go."

When Ji Lingfeng saw the other party, he didn't defend at all, but admitted it frankly, and the satisfaction in his eyes became more intense.

"Miss Si misunderstood, I am definitely not here today to question anything, but Miss is so resourceful, and I admire you very much. If Miss is willing to be my brain trust in the future, I can marry you as an ordinary wife, and I will be the only one under the main wife. I am not married yet, if you marry me, you will be alone. Fourth Miss should know that Second Highness relies on me very much. You are just a concubine. If you are talented, you will be a noble concubine at most if you marry into a noble family. Why not take a long-term view and make plans early."

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes moved away from the bronze mirror, and she looked at Ji Lingfeng beautifully and slightly, then she covered her red lips lightly, and smiled mockingly.

"Master Ji is too flattering of himself. Don't say that you are nothing now. You only have the status of a guest advisor. Even if you become famous in the future, I, Xiao Jinxuan, may not just like you, so Mr. Ji still refuses to speak up , it's just a joke."

In her previous life, she even served as Ji Lingfeng's first wife, but now that she was reborn, the other party's calculations became more sophisticated, and she actually planned to get rid of her as an equal wife, and then waited for several years to be married. Kicking her feet away, doing this kind of stupid thing once is enough, how could she be willing to be used a second time.
