Chapter 176: First Sight of Concubine Liang
The skin of the wrist was forcibly punctured by the fingertips, this kind of pain is really painful, Xiao Jinxuan even felt that the last time she was scalded by Huayang with hot water, the pain was much better than this.
couldn't help but gasp, Xiao Jinxuan's painful face turned white, but now it was a third-grade palace concubine who made it difficult, if she resisted a little, it was estimated that the guilt would be greater, and the other party would find an excuse and forcibly impose it on her.
At this time, Concubine Hui saw that Xiao Jinxuan's wrist was bleeding and she could only grit her teeth to hold on, and she suddenly felt very relieved in her heart.
Ignoring the bright red impatiens juice smeared on her nails, which gradually faded and spent, her subordinates exerted their strength again, as if they wanted to stab all their slender nails into Xiao Jinxuan's flesh to relieve their hatred.
Xiao Jinxuan really couldn't help it now, her brows furrowed and she snorted, just wanted to push Concubine Hui away first, but when she was improvising, Xiangping's voice came anxiously from behind her.
"Concubine Hui, what are you doing with Jinxuan, she is a guest I brought into the palace, you don't plan to make things difficult for her in front of this princess."
Holding the picked white lotus in her hand, Xiangping hurriedly ran over, and when she got closer, when she saw Xiao Jinxuan's bleeding and injured wrist, she immediately pushed Concubine Hui hard.
Concubine Hui knew that Xiangping was impulsive, but she didn't expect that the other party would dare to push her, so she immediately leaned back with an exclamation, and Xiao Jinxuan could be regarded as asking for the persecution of the other party's nails.
Ignoring the people on Concubine Hui's side, Xiangping hurriedly held up Xiao Jinxuan's wrists, and saw the four clear wounds on it, which were pierced by her nails and bleeding out, she immediately blamed herself and even her eyes were red.
"Jinxuan is not good for me, I have nothing to pick any flowers, if I had stayed by your side, you would not have suffered this sin now."
But before Xiangping's words fell, Concubine Hui, who was supported by the palace maid and stood firmly, immediately shouted angrily:
"Even if your eighth princess is by her side, if this concubine wants to invite someone to Heyun Palace, you don't want to stop it."
Concubine Hui, who was anxious to avenge Zhou Xianqi, was already higher than Xiangping in terms of position, and she would not estimate the other party's face, and immediately waved her hand to forcibly take Xiao Jinxuan away.
Xiangping saw that the palace maids and eunuchs of Heyun Palace were surrounding, she snorted angrily, and the lotus flower in her hand was gone, so she threw it directly at this group of people, and protected Xiao Jinxuan behind her, whoever dared to step forward, she would overthrow the person to the ground.
Concubine Hui can not take Xiangping in her eyes, but the palace people around her, where do they really dare to hurt this eighth princess, so it is inevitable to be restrained, and it is really stalemate for a while.
Concubine Hui, who could be seen at this time, was furious, and Qingxiang beside her was also anxious, so she immediately stood up and stepped forward to personally grab Xiangping's hand.
"Eighth sister, it's better for you to be idle, my mother just wants to invite this girl to go to Heyun Palace to talk, what are you doing like this, it's better to talk and play with my sister and me."
After entangled Xiangping to death, Qingxiang impatiently urged the palace people behind him:
"I'm still stunned what to do, don't you get that Xiao Jinxuan over to me, the eighth sister is playing with me here, and she won't be in the way of you."
Seeing that Xiangping was under control, the palace people who had no fear were about to take action against Xiao Jinxuan, and just when the situation was urgent, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Concubine Liang Niangniang has arrived." ”
Just a few words, but immediately made everyone present stop their movements and kneel on the ground in unison, even Concubine Hui had to bow her knees after her face showed unwillingness.
And Concubine Liang came closer, she couldn't help but glance at Xiangping first, and after seeing that her daughter was fine, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Concubine Hui with a smile.
"Sister Huifei, please get up, now in the imperial garden, a hundred flowers are blooming, I want to come to my sister is the same as the palace, I came to this garden to enjoy the flowers and fragrance, just a good scenery, if something unpleasant happens, it will be a disappointment to the current beauty."
Hearing this, Concubine Hui secretly hated that Concubine Liang came at a bad time, as long as the other party was in the evening, she would be able to take Xiao Jinxuan away, and then people would be brought to her Heyun Palace, and it was not up to her to let her want to torture her.
Although she thought viciously in her heart, Concubine Hui did not show half a point on her face, and said with a smile:
"What Sister Liangfei said is very true, I just saw Xiangping and this Miss Jinxuan here, so I couldn't help but make a joke with them, but I don't want my sister to seem to have misunderstood, there is nothing unpleasant happening here."
Hearing this, Xiangping, who had already gotten rid of Qingxiang's entanglement, immediately raised Xiao Jinxuan's wrist, and then said to Concubine Liang:
"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, look at Jinxuan's wrist, this is what was injured by Concubine Hui, if you are one step late, maybe she will be embarrassed for the two daughters."
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's blood-soaked white wrist, Concubine Liang frowned a little unbearably, after all, the other party was summoned by her to enter the palace today, and if she didn't enter the palace, she wouldn't have been troubled by Concubine Hui.
Immediately, Concubine Liang blamed herself in her heart, although it was very good and inappropriate to reason with a concubine in public, but she still decided to seek justice for Xiao Jinxuan.
But before Concubine Liang could open her mouth to question Concubine Hui, Xiao Jinxuan retracted her wrist that had been lifted into her cuffs with a smile, and then said in a gentle voice:
"Concubine Liangniang Wanfu Jin'an, what the eighth princess said just now, please don't take it to heart, the injury on Jinxuan's hand was not caused by Concubine Hui, it was the little girl who was not careful, so she scratched herself, if it was for me, let the two mothers have a misunderstanding, then Jinxuan would be guilty."
glanced at Xiao Jinxuan in surprise, Concubine Liang really didn't expect that the teenage girl in front of her would be able to say such decent and generous words.
After all, that wound, anyone who sees it will know that it was not injured by the other party himself, but for the sake of the overall situation, seeing that someone can call the shots, he still chooses to forbear and retreat, this calmness suddenly made Concubine Liang in her heart, and she had an excellent impression of Xiao Jinxuan.
But Xiangping's temperament is a person who can't rub sand in her eyes, she won't think about it at all, if it is in the imperial garden, the second concubine argues endlessly, what will be the consequences afterwards, she only knows that Jinxuan is her good sister, and now that she has been wronged, she should be given justice.
Therefore, Xiangping saw that both Xiao Jinxuan and her mother didn't want to pursue it, and she immediately said dissatisfiedly:
"Jinxuan, don't be afraid, my mother is here, no one will dare to bully you, I saw it with my own eyes just now, it was Concubine Hui who grabbed your wrist and didn't let go, but why don't you dare to tell the truth."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Concubine Hui, who was standing there calmly, and then she looked at Xiangping and shook her head apologetically:
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you misunderstood, Concubine Hui caught me just now, but she asked about my injuries with concern, not what you think."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan ignored it, Xiangping's puffing little appearance took a few steps forward and came to Concubine Hui, and she smiled lightly.
"Concubine Hui, I'm tired of you taking care of me today, this kindness Jinxuan will not dare to forget, as for Heyun Palace and his party, I'm afraid I will go flawless today, but the coming day is long, Jinxuan will go to the door sooner or later, don't be anxious, that day will come soon."
Concubine Hui has lived in the harem for many years, Xiao Jinxuan's words were punns, she naturally heard the coldness between the other party's words, and immediately smiled contemptuously, she said disdainfully:
"Okay, then the concubine is waiting for you to come, I want to see when this day will come."
Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan has a gentle temperament, she is obviously not a weak and bully, and Concubine Hui will also be more arrogant, Concubine Liang immediately stood between the two and said to ease the atmosphere:
"Okay, Miss Jinxuan is the daughter of the Shuai Mansion, and there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities in this palace in the future, today it was the palace that invited her into the palace, and I will take that person away first, and Sister Hui will continue to stay to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the fragrance, and my sister will not disturb your Yaxing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Liang led Xiangping and Xiao Jinxuan away under the salute of Concubine Hui and all the palace people.
After the figures of the three of them completely disappeared from front of them, the smile on Concubine Hui's face was difficult to maintain, and with a fierce wave of the long sleeves of the palace skirt, she reached out and pinched a peony flower on her side in her hand, and with a hard pull, the flower was torn off, and it was instantly pinched.
Then I saw that she was extremely unconvinced, and said with a sarcastic smile:
"Concubine Liang, what kind of thing are you, you actually came to me to show off your might, a broken girl from a poor family, didn't she just rely on being in the palace for a long time, and gave birth to two sons to the saint. Otherwise, you are also worthy of being one of the four concubines, this concubine is a concubine from the Hou Mansion, and now she is just temporarily suppressed by you, sooner or later I will become the first virtuous concubine of the four concubines, and then see how I clean you up. ”
Knowing that Concubine Hui would be angry, even Qingxiang didn't dare to speak out to persuade her, but everyone didn't dare to speak, which didn't mean that no one dared to speak out.
Suddenly, behind the rockery of the flowers, a low laughter came, and then I saw a woman wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, walking out with a light smile.
Concubine Hui, who was already annoyed when she heard the laughter, was about to get angry, but when she saw it clearly, she immediately breathed and knelt on the ground in fear.
"The concubines see the queen mother, the queen mother thousand years old Jin'an, Huatai Wanfu."
That's right, the person who hid behind the rockery and laughed out loud was the queen of the current Great Zhou Dynasty, Xue Shi.
She is the second queen of Emperor Ming, according to the common people's family, she is the wife of Emperor Ming, not the wife of the other party, so in terms of age, she is eleven years younger than Emperor Ming.
Seeing Concubine Hui, kneeling in front of her with some nervousness, Empress Xue's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and she said solemnly and kindly:
"My sisters don't need to be polite, Concubine Hui get up, as for what you said just now, although Ben Hou heard it clearly, but he didn't feel that what you said was wrong, the position of Concubine Xian, except for her sister, Ben Hou also felt that there was really no one who deserved to sit in this position anymore."
