Chapter 105: King Rui's Message
While talking to Xiao Jinxuan, Xiangping pulled the other party behind him, smiled coquettishly, and looked at Princess Huayang.
"Auntie, my imperial brother is not here today, but Xiangping is here, in front of this princess, if you dare to hurt Miss Jinxuan, don't say that your niece will not depend on you."
Xiangping's words are quite polite, but in terms of identity, she is the daughter of Emperor Ming's **, and her mother is one of the four concubines, the only daughter of Concubine Liang.
When Zhou Xianrui faced Huayang, because he was an adult prince and walked in the court, if there was a reputation of disrespecting his elders and belittling the daughter of the emperor, it would be quite unfavorable to him, and he would even be seized by political enemies to attack him.
And this is also the reason why Xiao Jinxuan stopped him last time when Zhou Xianrui wanted to clean up Huayang, since the two have joined forces, she will never watch Zhou Xianrui fall into a predicament because of personal grievances.
But Zhou Xianrui's concerns at the beginning had no impact on the eighth princess.
Xiangping is just a princess of the deep palace, and she is not involved in court politics, and no one will be idle in the imperial history, so she has nothing to impeach her, and she will not let go of her mistakes, plus there is Emperor Ming's ** love, the eighth princess really didn't take Huayang in her eyes.
After all, Emperor Ming's half-sisters are really a lot, and there have always been many imperial aunts of the eighth princess, Huayang may be in front of outsiders, and she can also put on a princess shelf, but when this princess of the first emperor is facing Shang Xiangping, the princess of the dynasty, it is indeed a little insufficient.
Therefore, what the eighth princess said was not polite, Huayang listened, not only was she not angry, but she gritted her teeth and accompanied the smiling face.
"Xiangping, look at what you said, my aunt was just joking with Miss Jinxuan just now, where could it really hurt her, you are too careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huayang hurriedly signaled, and the accompanying guards withdrew, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
But the eighth princess, seeing her like this, still snorted coldly.
"Aunt Huayang, last time my imperial brother, I thought about your identity, so I didn't care about you, but I Xiangping can't see others the most, and I oppress people with my identity, aunt from now on, don't be embarrassed for Miss Jinxuan, otherwise I will tell my father and ask him to call the shots."
Knowing that Xiangping's temperament is as strong as fire, Huayang knows that if the other party says it, he will definitely dare to do it, and immediately smiled and promised that he would never embarrass Xiao Jinxuan again.
After warning Huayang's aunt, Xiangping grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's hand tightly, and then looked at Xiao Jinyu again.
Xiangping's crisp voice was a little colder again
"Miss Jinyu, I have heard that you are talented and beautiful, I saw it today, and your appearance is really good, but this is the measure of emotion, it is really difficult to see, as a handsome man, I just cried loudly, like a shrew, it is really embarrassing, if I were you, I would still be standing here without a face, and I would have found a crack in the ground and got in."
Xiao Jinyu, who was originally going to watch Xiao Jinxuan and how to be troubled by Huayang, never imagined that the eighth princess would come to stir up this good show.
And now, the other party not only put pressure on Huayang, but also ridiculed her, this sentence was even more ugly than a sentence, which immediately made Xiao Jinyu blush with shame.
Thinking that no matter where she Xiao Jinyu went, all she heard was flattery, but now that she is good, she was said to be a shrew in public, and the person who gave her such an evaluation is still a princess, which makes her want to refute, but she can't speak.
The other party is a royal goddess, Xiao Jinyu's status is high, and it can't be compared with Xiangping, so don't say that Xiangping says that she is a shrew, that is, she is a slut, Xiao Jinyu can only let it go.
Seeing that Xiao Jinyu didn't dare to return the word, a triumphant smile flashed on Xiangping's face, and then he turned back to Xiao Jinxuan and winked.
Looking at Xiangping's smart appearance, Xiao Jinxuan smiled dumbly, and suddenly felt that this princess was really good at rectifying people.
Sure enough, this child who grew up in the palace is indeed mentally mature early, and this Xiangping age seems to be on par with her, but Xiao Jinxuan herself knows that her current calm temperament is caused by these two lives.
But this eighth princess, at such an age, is very eloquent, articulate, and tidying up people, and she is also majestic, royal and extravagant, and it is no wonder that Emperor Ming will favor her, she is indeed very clever and intelligent.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan smiling, Xiangping was slightly stunned when she saw it, in the palace, she had seen all kinds of beauties, but the smiles of these people seemed to be mixed with too many things, and Xiao Jinxuan was like this, but with a cold smile in her gentleness, she really saw it for the first time.
Thinking of this Xiangping's temperament, she is outgoing and lively, so Xiao Jinxuan's calm and cold attitude aroused her interest.
People are like this, people with the same personality, although they will get along very well, but far from it, two people with completely different personalities are so attractive to each other.
So seeing that Xiao Jinxuan, who was cold, actually smiled at herself, Xiangping's heart even felt a little cheering.
And Xiangping will also see that this Xiao family sister has a very bad relationship, so she immediately put on a straight face and prepared to help Xiao Jinxuan, and she was venting her anger.
Therefore, when Xiangping turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinyu, who was standing there with tears in his eyes, he immediately snorted coldly
"Miss Jinyu, this princess just said a few words to you, and you are crying here endlessly, crying like this, it's really unlucky, I really don't know, where have you learned from the upbringing of this young lady."
Xiao Jinyu, who was targeted by Xiangping again and again, was shaking with anger, but she still had to endure it, and everyone laughed at her, put on a teachable appearance, and lowered her head.
But when Xiao Jinyu lowered her eyebrows, she glanced at Xiangping and Xiao Jinxuan resentfully, and swore in her heart that she would return all the current humiliation.
Thinking like this, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly glanced at the back of the garden, a locked vermilion wooden door, because she often accompanied the old lady to incense, so Xiao Jinyu was very familiar with Guanyin Courtyard and knew that the door led to the back mountain.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light in her eyes, and then she saw a cruel smile on the corner of Xiao Jinyu's mouth, but the moment she raised her head, she was taken away again.
Then I saw Xiao Jinyu, facing Xiangping, and bowed in a proper manner.
"Eighth princess, just now Jinyu is not good, made you angry, as an apology, I know that there is a natural fountain in the mountain behind this Guanyin Temple, the water flows non-stop all year round, and there are groups of koi fish in the water, legend has it that in this spring, there is also a 10,000-year-old spirit turtle, people who are destined can see it, and the princess wants to take a look."
Xiao Jinxuan, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help frowning when she heard this.
As far as she understands Xiao Jinyu, this sister-in-law is not a generous-minded person, and she pays great attention to face, and now this eighth princess is sarcastic one after another, it stands to reason that Xiao Jinyu should find a reason to avoid it directly, which is what the other party should do.
And now that it's good, Xiao Jinyu not only didn't leave, but treated the previous sarcasm as if she hadn't heard it, and instead invited the eighth princess to play, just listening to it, I felt a little strange.
But before Xiao Jinxuan could be reminded, Xiangping's lively and active personality was fully revealed at this moment.
It's hard to get out of the palace to play once, I heard that there is a 10,000-year-old spirit turtle, Xiangping's interest, and she was immediately attracted, although Xiao Jinyu didn't like it, but the fountain mentioned in the other party's mouth, she was curious.
nodded immediately, and asked Xiao Jinyu to quickly lead the way in front, while Xiangping pulled Xiao Jinxuan and followed behind, ready to go to see the fountain immediately.
Xiao Jinyu agreed, and called Xiao Shani, and opened the lock on the wooden door leading to the back mountain, so he took Xiangping and other interested ladies to the mountain.
With Xiangping, the princess of Emperor Ming's love, Huayang was pressed for everything, so he naturally didn't want to continue to stay by the other party's side and was angry, and he said that there was still something to do, so he separated from everyone.
The road to the mountain, because it has been repaired, so it is not difficult to walk, a group of more than 20 people, not long, walked halfway up the mountainside, and according to Xiao Jinyu's introduction, the fountain is located on the edge of the mountaintop, so to get there, it will take a while.
Xiao Jinxuan, who had been being pulled by Xiangping, walked for a while, then deliberately slowed down and distanced herself from everyone.
This made Xiang Ping, who was following her, couldn't help but ask with concern: "Miss Jinxuan, are you tired, if you can't walk, I will tell everyone to stop, we can rest for a while." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan shook her head with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't feel tired, but I have some things to say to you alone, and it is inconvenient for others to hear, so I have to slow down."
Then, without waiting for Xiangping to ask, Xiao Jinxuan continued in a soft voice:
"It's a coincidence that the princess came today, if I'm not mistaken, my grandmother invited the mansions, in order to avoid suspicion, but she didn't invite anyone in the palace, but the eighth princess, you came, I'm afraid that these are all arranged by His Royal Highness King Rui, I don't know if he called the princess to come, but what's the urgency."
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, with a shallow smile and a calm expression, coupled with that not stunning, but very gentle face, Xiangping really became more and more pleasing to the eye the more she looked at it, and the words that the other party said simply made her admire the five-body throw.
Because today, just as the other party said, it was indeed Zhou Xianrui who called her here, and this imperial brother did ask her to bring a letter to Xiao Jinxuan, Xiangping couldn't understand how Xiao Jinxuan guessed it.
So I saw this eighth princess, with a look of worship on her face, and hurriedly asked:
"Miss Jinxuan, you are really amazing, I have always admired my fifth brother the most, because I think he is the smartest person in the world, nothing can be difficult for him, when I see you today, I know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well, your mind, but not lose to my fifth brother."
As he spoke, Xiangping took out a roll of pocket letters written in light gauze from his sleeve, and then handed it to Xiao Jinxuan vaguely.
"What is the content of this, the fifth brother didn't tell me, don't look at me as I am used to messing around on weekdays, but I didn't open this letter to see it, but when the fifth brother found me, he only said that it was a 100,000 urgent matter, so I rushed here immediately."
