Concubine's true colors

Chapter 690 Mother and Daughter Connecting Hearts
Xiao Jinxuan's prostration was not just as simple as bending over and kowtowing, but three prostrations and nine prostrations with the highest etiquette.

This kind of etiquette is the most solemn gift regardless of the country or region.

And Xiao Jinxuan stood up and kowtowed, and her meticulous approach was because she was full of respect for her biological mother in her heart, and she couldn't recognize her when they met for the first time.

In order to express the excitement in my heart, I kowtowed and kowtowed with a big gift.

But Xiao Jinxuan's behavior, in the eyes of Yao Nianwan who doesn't know the truth, is another matter.

"Princess Changde really knows how to be courteous. It's no wonder that many people are not surprised. Her highness the eldest princess is distinguished. It seems that you already know it without the introduction of the princess. And this time the eldest princess came to ask Princess Changde. The matter of killing Fendai with sticks in a few days. After all, although I, a Beirong woman, is far more outgoing than other foreign countries, as a woman, especially as the adoptive daughter of His Majesty, it is too cruel to take someone's life at will. Now Your Highness the Eldest Princess They are all alarmed, Changde, it is useless for you to kowtow a few times, and you still have to explain what needs to be explained."

When Yao Nianwan was speaking, Xiao Jinxuan still stood up after prostrating the etiquette meticulously.

During these three bows and nine kowtows, her emotions gradually calmed down, unlike Xiao Jinxuan who was so uncontrollable just now.

When the peerless face was about to be raised, Liu Ye said in a cold voice between her frivolous brows:
"The princess's words are right. I, Changde, did take the life of that Fen Dai fiercely. But the other party gave me cakes that were incompatible with the soup, intending to harm me. Should I not only punish the person who caused the harm, but also punish him?" It’s not enough to pamper the other party.”

Because her biological mother was sitting here, Xiao Jinxuan instinctively didn't want the other party to think that she was a person with vicious thoughts.

Therefore, she has always gone her own way, taking people's lives with sticks. As long as Xiao Jinxuan thinks she has done too much, she will not explain the reason to others.

Letting others think about it will not disturb her at all.

But now it's rare for her to explain. Maybe this is a daughter's instinct, and she always doesn't want to leave any bad impression in front of her biological mother.

Even though Xiao Jinxuan knew clearly, Xiao Fengxi didn't even know of her existence for 16 years, let alone that the person standing in front of her was the other's biological daughter.

But she was persistent in wanting to maintain a good impression on the other party, because in the situation where they couldn't recognize each other, the only way Xiao Jinxuan could silently express her closeness and respect to Xiao Fengxi was in these details.

In Yao Nianwan's eyes, Xiao Jinxuan's kowtowing was deliberately pandering to contrived intentions to curry favor with Xiao Fengxi.

But Xiao Fengxi, as the eldest princess of Zhen Guo, has seen countless people in her life, and has experienced ups and downs for a long time. She still has the confidence to see what is true and what is false.

As for Xiao Jinxuan's extremely solemn prostrations and nine kowtows just now, every kowtow made a loud sound, and her eyes were slightly red.

Xiao Fengxi, who had always been extremely cold and indifferent to others, felt his heart tighten for no reason, and even felt pity.

Especially after listening to what Xiao Jinxuan said just now, Zheng Fendai was punished to death after failing to assassinate.

Xiao Fengxi, who was originally invited by the sisters of the Yao family to be a backer, frowned.

Perhaps it is indeed a mother-daughter bond, Xiao Fengxi, who was still quite critical of Xiao Jinxuan when she came here, now said dissatisfied with a change of subject:

"Nianwan Biyu, you two sisters are in front of me, why do you only talk about Changde killing Yan'er's concubine Ji for a trivial matter? Could it be that murdering her life is a mere trivial matter in the eyes of the two of you sisters? In this way, Doesn't this kind of trivial matter that you don't pay attention to also show that you two sisters have done a lot on weekdays. Knowing that Changde is my emperor's adopted daughter, how dare you mess around like this? I gossip in front of me. I think it's not Changde who disturbs Yan'er's house, but you sisters from the Yao family."

With Xiao Fengxi's status and status today, there is really no one in Beirong that she should be afraid of.

It is true that the Marquis of Ding'an has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but the imperial court will be afraid because it wants to stabilize the current balance and maintain a kind of political affairs, and the mutual check of forces.

But Xiao Fengxi is not an ordinary royal girl, she holds the Zhen Guo Legion in her hand, after years of development and growth, she now has an army of 40, which is only the most conservative estimate.

Just like Zhou Xianyu, this man with military power in his hands not only straightened his back, but also spoke forcefully.

So Xiao Fengxi usually didn't even give Yao Hua the face of Ding'an Marquis, but instead of his daughters, she naturally reprimanded her mercilessly, and even wrote all her dissatisfaction on her face.

And after reprimanding the sisters of the Yao family to kneel down in fear, Princess Zhenguo, out of instinct, stood up and lovingly helped Xiao Jinxuan who had just replied and then knelt on the ground.

Then she looked at Xiao Jinxuan carefully for a few times, doubts and thoughts flashed in her eyes, then her cold tone withdrew, and she asked in an easy-going voice:
"Good boy, you did nothing wrong. Even though we are women, we must not be bullied at will without knowing how to protect ourselves. That kind of behavior is not called virtuous and generous. In my opinion, it is simply stupid. And before you and I But I have seen you before, why do I feel very familiar with you when I see you, and I feel very kind. It seems that the emperor did not make a mistake in accepting you as a adopted daughter. Changde, you and my royal family are indeed destined , this princess fell in love with you at first sight, too."

Both hands were held by Princess Zhen Guochang, the biological mother, and the other party helped her up herself. For a while, Xiao Jinxuan, who had just calmed down, couldn't help being excited again.

And at this moment, her tears finally dripped down under the endless bitterness and unrecognizable desolation.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan weeping silently, Princess Zhen regarded her as being stubborn and weeping when she was wronged and angry.

Since the death of her beloved husband, she experienced the coup and survived by luck.

Xiao Fengxi was indeed very indifferent to others, and he would not even come out of Zhen Guo Princess's Mansion when there was nothing to do.

And this time, she not only looked at Xiao Jinxuan lovingly, but also took out her handkerchief, and patiently wiped off the tears one by one.

Although Xiao Jinxuan couldn't come up with strong evidence because of her changed appearance, to prove that she is the real daughter of Princess Zhen Guo.

However, although their biological mother and daughter did not recognize each other now, under the guidance of that kind of instinctive affection, Princess Zhenguo treated Xiao Jinxuan differently from others after all.

And just because Xiao Jinxuan had never experienced this act of love and protection from her biological mother, she couldn't control herself to the point of crying.

Just like a child who has been wronged for many years and finally finds support, when he just wants to vent out the misery in his heart.

But this tenderness didn't last long, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly felt a pain in her left shoulder, and was held tightly by someone.

Then, at the same time that she was pulled aside by the external force, Xiao Mingzhu's domineering expression staring at her with unfriendly eyes also fell into Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

Xiao Mingzhu has kung fu in her body, and she even knows how to play with a whip.

When she accompanied Xiao Yunyan to the Great Zhou Dynasty, when Xiao Jinxuan and Xiangping were good sisters in the past, they had suffered a lot under each other's hands.

Therefore, her pushing was not enough for Xiao Jinxuan, who was still a little weak from the wind and cold.

Thanks to Ziying's sharp eyesight and hands, Xiao Jinxuan was quickly supported, which made the other party stagger to stand firm and avoid falling to the ground in public.

And Ziying came from Jianghu, and she didn't understand the etiquette of the nobles in the harem, and even if she knew, she never planned to obey it.

In Ziying's eyes, the only person she is loyal to is Xiao Jinxuan who was willing to rescue her with a few buns, and even sent Yan Luo tears to help her recover her martial arts.

If anyone dares to hurt her master, then Ziying will dare to go up to her master no matter what the identity of the other party is.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Jinxuan was supported, Ziying immediately stepped forward like lightning, without giving Xiao Mingzhu a chance to react and fight back, she punched him hard in the abdomen.

Xiao Mingzhu does know some martial arts, but Ziying is the top killer in Jianghu.

Even Xiao Yunyan didn't dare to say that he could completely defeat the opponent, let alone Xiao Mingzhu who only learned some showmanship.

It's okay to bully Xiao Jinxuan who doesn't know a little bit of martial arts on weekdays, but it's completely vulnerable to Ziying.

The punch made Xiao Mingzhu feel pain all over and lost the strength to resist.

Ziying's movements were done in one go, twisting the opponent's arm, and crushing the person in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

Then she ruthlessly kicked Xiao Mingzhu's knee with her right foot, and immediately the other party knelt down in front of Xiao Jinxuan with a powerless "plop".

And Xiao Mingzhu's appearance of being so painful that she was about to faint was as embarrassing as she wanted.

People always say the old saying that there will be slaves as long as there are masters, and this is indeed true.

If the master is weak and can be bullied, submissive, then he will be ashamed to be a servant, and if he lacks confidence, he will naturally not be able to harden himself.

And if the master is like Xiao Jinxuan on weekdays, he will never be merciful to those who dare to plot and bully, let alone make things big.

The person who works by her side is naturally not afraid of getting into trouble. This behavior of beating up as soon as they say it, regardless of their status, is really Xiao Jinxuan's style.

Because Ziying shot too quickly, when everyone in the hall reacted, Xiao Mingzhu was already kneeling on the ground in that miserable state.

The princess of Mingzhu had a marriage contract with the young master of Ding'an Houfu, so Yao Nianwan was still the other party's eldest sister in terms of seniority.

Therefore, seeing Xiao Mingzhu being wronged, Yao Nianwan naturally couldn't stand idly by.

Moreover, she also has her own little Jiujiu in her heart, and she even wants to use this to arouse the anger of Princess Zhen, so that the other party will turn her anger on Xiao Jinxuan.

To beat the princess of the dynasty in public is a noble daughter of the royal family like Xiao Mingzhu who grew up surrounded by stars.

Although Xiao Jinxuan would not reprimand Ziying's guardian for her wrong behavior, she also knew that this matter might be difficult to deal with.

So seeing Xiao Jinxuan, she immediately stood in front of Ziying, intentionally protecting her behind her.

Then he knelt down to Princess Zhen Guo, but before she could speak, Yao Nianwan over there said first:
"Your Highness, Princess Chang, you have seen it with your own eyes. It wasn't Nianwan who was aggressive, but Princess Changde was really ruthless. There was a reason for the death of Concubine Zheng, but now Mingzhu is being killed by the other party in front of you. The maidservant kicked her and knelt on the ground without punching her. Mingzhu is your most beloved daughter, and even the fiancée wife of your younger brother Mingyuan. You must let Mingzhu decide this matter, otherwise my Yao family will not Be friendly with this Princess Changde."
