Concubine's true colors

Chapter 692
Xiao Fengxi's slap really echoed the old saying, it hit the son's body and hurt the mother's heart.

She really couldn't bear Xiao Mingzhu's words and deeds just now, so she hoped to wake him up.

The seemingly severe reprimand is actually full of earnest words.

But Xiao Fengxi's painstaking efforts were simply unacceptable to Xiao Mingzhu, who was spoiled and spoiled, and was accustomed to being obedient since she was a child.

So I saw her holding the left side of her face that was beaten, the tears couldn't stop falling, and she was crying full of grievances:

"My lord, even if Mingzhu is wrong, I am still your daughter. There is no reason for a mother to speak for others instead of helping her own child. Why is brother Yunyan like this, and you are like this? How can Changde be better than me? I am your blood relative, the real descendant of the royal family."

Facing this accusation, Xiao Fengxi was not moved, but said with a more serious expression:

"My mother always stays in the princess mansion on weekdays, but Mingzhu, you are not like this in the mansion now. You think you have a noble blood, so you can overwhelm others. In fact, you are just luckier than ordinary people. You just happened to be born in The emperor's family does not need to work hard for food and clothing from birth, but this is not your right to feel superior. In addition, in the eyes of my mother, my Beirong people have no distinction between high and low. How can I be humble without people? The royal family is the world. Mother will not help anyone, who is right and who is wrong depends on a word of reason, what happened today is that you were at fault first, if you still think of me as your biological mother, then go and apologize to Changde. "

Now Xiao Mingzhu's eyes widened, she was used to being proud, asking her to bow her head and apologize was more painful than killing her.

And Xiao Fengxi looked at Xiao Mingzhu's red and swollen cheeks with little tears, but she was actually very distressed.

It's just that when she saw Xiao Jinxuan standing alone not far away, neither noisy nor troublesome, with an appearance of neither advising right nor wrong, Princess Zhen's heart felt sore for no reason.

I always feel that this Changde, if she doesn't return the other party's justice today, even if the child dies of being wronged, I am afraid that he will not say a word.

Although Princess Zhen Guo didn't know why she had such an idea all of a sudden.

But she just couldn't see Xiao Jinxuan, and she didn't open her mouth to defend herself when she was wronged. She just felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw it.

In the past, Xiao Mingzhu was not self-willed, but in front of Xiao Fengxi, she also knew how to restrain herself, and she would not lose her composure like this when she was burned in anger today.

And because when Xiao Fengxi gave birth to this pair of children, they worked so hard to keep their lives.

So if it was different, she would at most reprimand her a few words, but she would not be willing to hit Xiao Mingzhu.

Perhaps it is indeed the bond between mother and daughter, this blood is thicker than water.

Even though they didn't recognize each other, Xiao Fengxi still subtly chose to protect Xiao Jinxuan between the real and fake daughters, and reprimanded Xiao Mingzhu for the other party.

And this meeting saw Xiao Mingzhu still stubbornly standing where she was, without any intention of apologizing.

Looking at her holding back tears and refusing to give in.

In the end, it was the daughter who had loved her for 16 years. In the end, it was Xiao Fengxi who softened her heart first, and said with a sigh:
"Forget it, Mingzhu, you haven't let me worry about you since you were a child, and this princess can't do anything about you. But I still have to punish you for today's incident. Go back to the Princess Zhenguo's mansion and think about it and don't let me out for a month. They are all about to get married, I must restrain your temper well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fengxi looked at his close aunt Fang Yu, and ordered:

"You brought up this child, Mingzhu, and you and I are half responsible for her habitual temperament. Hurry up and take this child down, take care of Mingzhu, and don't tell her to mess around and cause trouble. "

Fang Yu was Xiao Fengxi's maid who was by her side before she left the cabinet, and her martial arts skills are not weak, she has been responsible for protecting the other party's safety for so many years.

So Xiao Fengxi's relationship with Fang Yu is very unusual, and they usually talk more casually, and it is common for master and servant to joke occasionally.

And when Fang Yu took the order, he forcibly took out Xiao Mingzhu who was still full of unwillingness and kept staring at Xiao Jinxuan.

I saw Princess Zhen Guo also stood up, and with an apologetic face, she walked up to Xiao Jinxuan with pity in her eyes, held her hand and said:
"Good boy, I have wronged you. I can see what happened just now. It's really not your fault. It's just that Mingzhu is impulsive, and it's because I can't teach her well, that's why she almost hurt you with a whip. Fortunately, Yan'er You arrived in time, so there was no accident. I hope you don’t hold any grudges. After all, you will be part of my royal family in the future. It seems that you are about the same age as Mingzhu. You two should walk around more. If you have time in the future , ask Yan'er to take you to my princess mansion for a short stay. It will be more lively when there are more people, my place is always a bit deserted, and this princess is still very happy to see you juniors gathered around."

To be able to go to Princess Zhenguo's Mansion is naturally a dream for Xiao Jinxuan.

For this biological mother, Xiao Jinxuan really respected her more and more for her impartial personality, and at the same time wanted to get closer to her.

And under Xiao Jinxuan's strong pressure, she was excited, nodded gently and agreed one by one.

Under her reluctant gaze, Xiao Fengxi finally left.

Xiao Jinxuan, whose heart became empty in an instant, had a lonely expression, which really made people feel distressed just looking at it.

And this kind of pain of mother and daughter meeting each other but not wanting to recognize each other, although Xiao Yunyan at the side has never experienced it, just thinking about it makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not to mention how Xiao Jinxuan, the client, was able to maintain her composure despite being tortured. It was really not easy.

The person who thought of all this was the second daughter of the Yao family sisters.

Immediately returning to the mansion, under Tang Qi's report, Xiao Yunyan, who already knew the ins and outs of the whole matter, would have a terrifyingly gloomy expression.

"Yao Nianwan, you do some outrageous things in this palace on weekdays. For the sake of our husband and wife for many years, this prince has not investigated anything deeply. But Changde is my younger sister, and even a distinguished guest in this palace. Who will agree?" The two of you sisters set your mind on her. You even surprised your aunt with the matter of Concubine Zheng. I think your skills are getting stronger and stronger. Don't forget that I am the master of this mansion. Xiao Yunyan, you guys are really too presumptuous, you don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Seeing Xiao Yunyan's anger, Yao Nianwan's heart trembled.

She was originally a descendant of the Hou Mansion, and she was used to being pampered and pampered. Just thinking about the punishment she might receive, her hands and feet became weak.

Therefore, Yao Nianwan, who was normally dignified and steady, was just putting on a superficial kung fu, immediately kowtowed to Xiao Yunyan and said in defense:

"Your Highness, please calm down. What happened today is not because the concubine wanted to alarm His Highness the Eldest Princess. It was Biyu who said that the Eldest Princess was like His Highness's biological mother. We should inform the Eldest Princess about the fact that our concubine Ji was killed by a stick in our mansion. Therefore The concubine was also confused for a while, after listening to Biyu's words, she went to Princess Zhenguo's mansion. Nianwan has been married to His Highness for many years, and you don't know that the concubine is the third prince, but she has soft ears and always likes to listen and believe. I also hope that His Highness will forgive the sin, and the ministers and concubines will definitely repent and make amends when they go back to learn from the pain."

It is difficult for sisters of the same father and mother to serve one husband together.

Needless to say, the concubine sister, seeing the situation is not good, Yao Nianwan pushed the concubine sister as a scapegoat, she really didn't mean to be soft-hearted at all.

After Yao Biyu looked at his sister-in-law with disappointment and implied complaint, he looked at Xiao Yunyan in fear, but he didn't say a word to exonerate himself.

Because Yao Biyu knew her identity, she married into the Third Prince's Mansion as a dowry, in order to keep Yao Nianwan's position as concubine, to help the other party make suggestions, and at the same time to take the place of the scapegoat and guilt.

After all, Yao Biyu is a concubine, if she does not resist her mistakes today, her biological father Yao Hua in the Marquis of Ding'an will definitely not let her go.

And when Yao Biyu kowtowed and was about to admit his crime, Xiao Jinxuan, who had calmed down, suddenly smiled and said:

"Brother Wang, I think this matter should be left as it is. In fact, today I hit it off with His Royal Highness the Princess, thanks to Concubine Yao. Moreover, the Concubine respects the Princess Zhen, and she will tell the people in the house what is inappropriate. It is not a big mistake to adjudicate with the other party. The side concubine is all about fairness for the reputation of the palace, and even does it at the expense of offending her brother. In my opinion, she should not be punished, but should be praised."

Xiao Jinxuan's remark made Xiao Yunyan look at her inexplicably.

Even Yao Biyu raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a surprised expression, but a trace of gratitude still flashed deep in her eyes.

As for Xiao Yunyan, it was clear that Xiao Jinxuan's words always had a deep meaning.

Therefore, even though he couldn't figure it out for a while, Xiao Yunyan still followed the other party's words, withdrew his angry expression, nodded and said:
"Hearing Changde's words, this prince also thinks that Biyu's actions are not wrong. You were wronged just now, and I will go to your courtyard to visit tonight. By the way, let's take a look at my two daughters. Grow taller, and don’t think about me as a father. Don’t kneel on the ground, get up quickly.”

Xiao Yunyan helped Yao Biyu up with his own hands, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't pay attention to the intimate behavior of the two.

Because of her eyes, all this time they were focused on Yao Nianwan, who was kneeling on the ground alone, her expression obviously getting stiffer and unwilling.

Seeing the other party's dissatisfaction and jealousy, Xiao Jinxuan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, because this was exactly what she wanted to see.

Just now she seemed to be helping Yao Biyu to intercede, but in fact she wanted to use Xiao Yunyan's love to stimulate Yao Nianwan's jealousy and anger.

The sisters of the Yao family of the Third Prince's Mansion have been in power for many years, and Xiao Jinxuan has just arrived. Even if she is scheming and does not have enough real power in her hands to compete, she will never be able to shake the second daughter's position.

So Xiao Jinxuan came up with a plan, instead of fighting it herself, it is better to let the two sisters fight on their own.

When she joins forces with one of them, it will be much easier to handle the matter.

As a concubine, Yao Nianwan has the entire Andinghou Mansion as her support, and she is the person Xiao Jinxuan most wants to get rid of.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Yao Biyu, who was not valued as a concubine and always served as a foil, became the best candidate for the alliance.
