After a night of heavy rain in mid-April, whether it was killing, guilt and unbearable, or Xiangping's openness to Xiao Yijun.

As the sun rises the next morning, it will all be over.

After all, just like Xiangping said last night, she has gone too far on this road of fighting for power and position, and she can't turn back for a long time.

In fact, it is not only Xiangping, whether it is Empress Chen, Ji Lingfeng, and Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, who wholeheartedly support Zhou Xianchen.

They have long been in an endless situation with each other, and no one has a way out, let alone a chance to start over.

But compared with Xiangping's premature birth and loss of a child, Ji Lingfeng killed four sons in a row, Empress Chen was furious, and the entire Queen Mother was in chaos.

After freshening up early, Xiao Jinxuan, who was walking down the attic, ready to go to the City God Temple to pay homage, seemed much calmer.

After all, there was Zhou Xianyu's consolation last night, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was already extremely far-reaching and broad-minded.

She may really just be disturbed by the heavy rain in the middle of the night, and she is just touching the scene.

Now that the sun is rising, looking at the bright sunshine, her mood has returned to normal, and she will not be emotional.

Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan was going to get up early and leave the house, Zhou Xianyu deliberately got up early in the morning and personally sent the other party out of the mansion, and the concern in his eyes was self-evident.

Then he repeatedly instructed Bai Chu, who was accompanying the guards, and the twenty palace guards to protect Xiao Jinxuan's safety.

But Zhou Xianyu's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by Zhou Xianchen who suddenly walked out of the mansion.

I saw Zhou Xianchen, who was usually in the Regent's Mansion and would wear a dragon robe according to the specifications, but this time, accompanied by Zhu Xin, he changed into a light blue Confucian robe, and ran to the front excitedly and said:

"Seventh brother, I heard that the seventh sister-in-law is going to Rabbit Ridge, can you also allow the imperial brother to go with me. Since I ascended the throne and became emperor, I have stayed in the palace for several years and have not come out. Now it's hard to move to the palace to live temporarily, but I can't leave the palace all day long, lest I be known by the eighth sister in the city, and I am forcibly invited back to the palace. But when I went to Rabbit Ridge, there were very few people except pilgrims, so I quietly followed the seventh sister-in-law to breathe, Brother Wang, you must agree. ”

Zhou Xianchen is only seventeen years old now, which is the age when he loves to play and can't be idle.

In addition, he was forcibly put on the throne, and he did not have the calmness and ability that an emperor should have.

Therefore, when facing Zhou Xianyu, although Zhou Xianchen was the emperor, he actually pulled the sleeves of the other party's robe and begged, and even had a kind of coquettish and tricky meaning in it.

Although Zhou Xianyu also loves this imperial brother very much, for the safety of the other party and the emperor's physique, he immediately had to reject the other party's somewhat nonsense idea.

But I never thought that Xiao Jinxuan, sitting in the carriage and seeing this scene through the window, was real.

I think that when she first came to Beijing from Yangzhou for about a year, she met Zhou Xianchen, and the other party was the elder sister, and the elder sister called him short.

For this kind-hearted and gentle Nine Emperor Princes, Xiao Jinxuan has always loved each other as a younger brother.

Even though the other party is Empress Chen's biological child, whether the party is in the government or not, it does not affect Xiao Jinxuan's deep feelings for Zhou Xian, so she couldn't bear it for a while, so she opened her mouth to plead:

"Lord, otherwise, let the emperor go to Rabbit Ridge with me. It's a little far from Jingshi, and there are no idle people on weekdays. At that time, let the Nine Emperor Brothers be more aggrieved, follow me and pretend to be a little boy with incense, and wait until we avoid idle people and so on, and we will stay in the incense room. When he wants to play in the mountains and rivers, he will not be afraid of attracting attention. I must be careful, so that the identity of the Nine Emperor Brothers is not recognized. ”

Zhou Xianyu is not a serious and rigid person, which will make Zhou Xianchen's face pitiful, plus Xiao Jinxuan is pleading beside him.

Therefore, in the end, although Zhou Xianyu could not accompany him because he wanted to stabilize the court.

But he still increased the number of guards to thirty, and then he allowed Zhou Xianchen to get into the carriage and watched a team of men and horses leave the palace.

It's just that Zhou Xianyu will be here, and all his attention will be on the back of the carriage.

Therefore, among the high pavilions on the other side of the palace, a few figures who left quickly were ignored by him and did not notice.

And I didn't know that Xiao Jinxuan, who was going to worship incense in his trip, had already been secretly targeted by Xiao Jinxuan before he left Jingshi.

She was sitting in the carriage, frowning and listening to Bai Chu tell her about Ye Yi.

"Princess Chitose, Miss Ye escaped that day in the other garden when Princess Xiangping fell and was in chaos, and rushed back to our regent palace. But because you had orders and didn't want to see each other, your subordinates took it upon themselves to arrange for them to live in a secret place. It's just that Miss Ye asked her subordinates to tell you, saying that she is willing to follow the princess's side, how to place the other party, and I hope you will show it. ”

For Ye Yi, Xiao Jinxuan is very sympathetic to the other party's life experience.

But even though Ye still had a grudge against Ji Lingfeng, the other party was ruthless, killing innocent women and children, and even throwing young children to the ground.

This made Xiao Jinxuan very disgusted in her heart, and she didn't want to stay with this kind of person who could kill innocent people just to report her personal anger, and it was difficult for her to trust the other party.

Therefore, after just thinking about it, Xiao Jinxuan said in a calm voice:

"The grievances of the Ye family, as a reward for Ye still helping me, I will vindicate her father. As for Miss Ye, the matter of joining forces with her is over, and what she will do in the future has nothing to do with Concubine Ben. told her not to stay in Jingshi, otherwise Ji Lingfeng would not let her go. ”

Because after Zhou Xianyu learned Xiao Jinxuan's true identity, he changed his previous estranged title, and instead called out one concubine after another.

Over time, the people in the palace no longer called Xiao Jinxuan Her Royal Highness the princess, but also called the princess Chitose.

Even Xiao Jinxuan herself, in order to facilitate the consolidation of her identity in Da Zhou, was subtly affected, so she now calls herself a "concubine".

And looking at Xiao Jinxuan's calm and measured, he did not hurry and ordered Bai Chu, and behaved with an order.

Zhou Xianchen, who was also sitting in the carriage, faintly flashed a look of worship in his eyes, sighed lightly, and said a little lowly:

"No wonder the seventh brother always says to me on weekdays, if he is not in the capital division and goes to the barracks, if I can't make up my mind about any important things, I can go and ask the seventh sister-in-law. In the past, I didn't understand why the seventh brother would allow the seventh sister-in-law to interfere in politics, but now I see that the seventh sister-in-law, you have a good plan, and you have every word and deed of the city government, which is indeed several times stronger than Xianchen. Speaking of which, I am useless, although I am the emperor, but if I don't have the help of Seventh Brother all the time, I may be the most useless monarch in the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's expression was stunned, she didn't expect Zhou Xianchen to belittle herself so much in her heart, and she didn't even have the slightest confidence.

Knowing Zhou Xianchen's temperament, Xiao Jinxuan, who was not suitable for ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, also felt that it was a trick to create people, but she still said with a gentle smile:

"Brother Nine Emperors, you should always remember that you are the king of a country. If you are sluggish, and you don't even believe that you can govern a country well, then the people of the Great Zhou will also fall into turmoil. Think about your fathers and brothers, how conscientious they are for this country. They have even experienced the war between the two countries and regained the lost territory, and the emperor brother now only needs to be a good monarch to defend the country. Compared with the ancestors of the Zhou royal family, the burden on your body has been much lighter, as long as you have the confidence to be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, I believe you will definitely be able to do it. “

For a long time in the palace, Empress Chen monopolized power, and even did not give Zhou Xianchen the right to approve the folds.

Therefore, under this long-term suppression, Zhou Xianchen, who already has a somewhat benevolent and indisputable personality, inevitably has no self-confidence, and is even confused about what he, the emperor, can do.

But now in the regent palace, he can not only exercise the rights that a monarch should have, but also have the assistance of Zhou Xianyu's intentions.

Now Xiao Jinxuan's words have given Zhou Xianchen great encouragement.

After all, the seventh sister-in-law before meeting was just a woman, and she could say such insightful advice.

Zhou Xianchen felt that he was a dignified man, and he was the son of heaven of Da Zhou, so what reason did he have to continue to languish.

And somehow, Xiao Jinxuan's gentleness, with resolute comfort, always asked Zhou Xianchen to find a sense of déjà vu and great familiarity in the other party.

But after thinking about it, he was sure that he had never met this Beirong princess, and he couldn't remember where this familiarity came from.

Immediately after that, Zhou Xianchen, who had already discovered that Xiao Jinxuan was not an ordinary woman in the back house, even brought the affairs of the party and government of the court bureau to discuss with Xiao Jinxuan.

Although Xiao Jinxuan is a woman, she has always been closely related to the power schemes of the previous dynasty in the past seven or eight years.

Compared with Zhou Xianyu, the regent, explaining the power of the court is more simple and easy to understand, and the sentences are extremely incisive.

As a result, when the carriage came to the outside of the City God Temple and stopped, Zhou Xianchen, who was still unsatisfied, woke up like a dream, although he was pretending to be a little boy with incense, it was really insulting to his identity as the king of a country.

But this will already admire Xiao Jinxuan very much, even to Zhou Xianchen, who is in a state of five-body throwing.

He felt that he had benefited a lot from a long conversation in the carriage, not to mention just taking some incense and candles.

If it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to bow to the ground, take Xiao Jinxuan as the emperor's teacher, and carefully teach him the policy of governing the country as a king.

Although Zhou Xianchen traveled in plain clothes, the identity of Xiao Jinxuan's regent was public, so the royal family saluted incense and the guards opened the way.

Although there were a lot of pilgrims, but with Xiao Jinxuan carefully guarding him along the way, Zhou Xianchen still entered the wing room of the City God Temple without danger, and was not recognized.

As a temple wisher, Meng Liangjun, when she learned that the concubine of the regent palace had arrived, explained the good and evil retribution to others, and the scriptures of the city god, she immediately came to greet her in person.

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for almost four years, and when they saw Meng Liangjun, who was dressed in lay clothes and led his hair to practice, walked into the wing, he was about to kneel.

Where could Xiao Jinxuan accept this gift from the other party, holding back the excitement and tears that were about to fall, she turned her head and said to Zhou Xianchen:

"Ninth brother, I know from the prince that you have always been obsessed with landscape poetry. The scenery of the mountain behind this rabbit ridge must be very good, let Bai Chu accompany the escort on the side, you go and enjoy it, but remember to come back before dark. ”

As soon as he heard that Xiao Jinxuan was willing to let him go, Zhou Xianchen, who hadn't traveled for a long time, could wait. Immediately nodded violently, and he walked out of the wing room impatiently.

When she saw that there was no one else, Xiao Jinxuan's tears were finally unbearable.

looked at Meng Liangjun with a dazed expression because of her tears.

Thinking of her disfigurement and change, as well as the hardships she suffered, Xiao Jinxuan, who felt even more sour in her heart, couldn't help but choke up and said:

"Liangjun, you have been fine all these years, I am Jinxuan, although my appearance has changed greatly after a few years. But you and I have been sisters for many years, don't you really recognize me? ”
