Chapter 47: Plum Garden Encounter
Looking at the fainted Ning family, Xiao Jinxuan was expressionless, turned around and walked out, although the other party was extremely harsh to her in her previous life, he didn't want her life in the end.
So now that Ning has become like this, she thinks it's enough, and what happens to this person in the future has nothing to do with her.
Walking out of Cuiya Courtyard, Xiao Jinxuan stopped and stood in the snow.
Wen Xin saw it and asked tentatively, "Jinxuan, are we going back to Yixin Courtyard now?" β
Shaking her head, Xiao Jinxuan sighed and said lonely: "I didn't listen to my aunt, she didn't want to see me, in addition to making her unhappy when I went back, I was afraid that half a smile would not give it to me. β
It's not that she doesn't want to ease the relationship between mother and daughter, and she's been working hard, but Yang's heart is colder than the cold of winter, no matter how she warms up, she won't melt half a point.
Wen Xin also shook his head and muttered: "If there was no snow disaster in previous years, the streets outside would be lively, I can take you out to play, and the province will be bored in the house, and you will have to hold back your illness sooner or later." β
Xiao Jinxuan knew that Wen Xin was unrestrained, so she couldn't stand the dullness in this house, in fact, she didn't have a naΓ―ve romance in the past, but she was forced by life and was slowly smoothed out.
Looking at Wen Xin with a smile, she said softly: "Okay, don't worry about me, this is the first day of junior high school, I will take your vacation, hurry home to accompany your mother, I think she must be looking forward to you." β
After Wen Xin heard this, his face was happy, but then, he said uneasily: "But I'm leaving, what should you do Jinxuan, Zhuxin and Baizhu are not with you now, they stay in Yixin Courtyard to help, I don't worry about leaving you here." β
Xiao Jinxuan gave him an angry look
"This is my home, what can happen to me in the house, not to mention that I am so weak in your eyes, any person can bully me."
When Wen Xin heard this, he waved his hand again and again with a flattering smile on his face, he had seen Xiao Jinxuan, how to clean up the county lord and the eldest lady, who is easy to bully, this one in front of him is definitely not easy to bully.
Xiao Jinxuan said everything about this, and Wen Xin didn't shirk it, and accepted the other party's kindness, and felt even more warm in her heart.
Seeing Wen Xin leave, Xiao Jinxuan walked aimlessly in this cold winter, exhaling and walking forward.
originally thought that this year's holiday would be a happy atmosphere, but in the end, she was still alone.
She was not in a very good mood, but when she came back from the depression, she found that she was standing at the entrance of a garden, and a few red plums poked out of the wall, and she realized that she had actually walked to the plum garden.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, remembering that in the past, when she was in Zhuangzi, every time she was on the New Year, Yang would only have a reunion dinner with her at the same table, and the rest of the time she was still alone.
At that time, she would run to the plum forest, endure the cold, make her own small wish to the moon in the sky, and fold a few plum blossoms and weave them into garlands, all of which were gifts for herself on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xiao Jinxuan's heart moved, so she walked to the plum garden, looking at the red plums blooming in the courtyard, she stood on tiptoe, reached out to pick many plum blossoms, and then skillfully woven a wreath and put it on her head.
Caressing the garland on her head, Xiao Jinxuan smiled so sweetly, at this moment, she seemed to have returned to her childhood, regained her lost innocence, and even the coldness in her eyes disappeared without a trace.
A cold wind blew, and countless blood-like petals fell in pieces, although this scene was really beautiful, Xiao Jinxuan was a little stupid when she saw it.
Suddenly, her plain white jade hands were raised slightly, accompanied by the rain of flowers in the sky, dancing, the graceful dancing posture, the soft waist, and the tenderness between the eyebrows and eyes made Xiao Jinxuan like a plum fairy, like a dream, not stained by the ordinary.
Just when she was smiling and her sleeves were spinning, she turned around, and she found that Zhou Xianrui was standing there not far away, with deep eyes, looking at her with a smile.
In an instant, Xiao Jinxuan stopped her movements, reached out to take off the garland, and bowed her head to give a blessing.
"Why is Your Highness here, you came to the house, why didn't anyone report it, Jinxuan was rude."
Looking at the woman in front of him, whose expression became cold again, Zhou Xianrui's eyes flashed with loss, and the figure dancing between the plums just now was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Xiao Jinxuan's smile was something he had never seen before, so involuntarily, he stood still, and he couldn't take his eyes off for half a minute.
But if he knew that his appearance would break this quiet beauty, then it would be better for him to leave quietly.
Zhou Xianrui was rarely stunned, and it wasn't until Xiao Jinxuan called him again that he came back to his senses and walked over.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, this king brought a gift, it was to visit the fourth young lady in the mansion, but your biological mother Yang, but said that you are busy and don't know when you are free, so I bothered to wander around the mansion, but I didn't want to meet you."
When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she smiled and said: "In this way, it is Jinxuan who disturbs His Highness's interest, then I will retreat, and His Highness will do his own thing." β
To be honest, although the two are familiar now, they have a mutually beneficial relationship, Xiao Jinxuan herself doesn't want to get too close to each other, which will only destroy the balance between them.
But Zhou Xianrui obviously didn't agree with this, so he smiled and said: "Why is the fourth lady so alienated from this king, your aunt, but I can be closer to you and me, I am very happy to see it happen, and said that when you are done, I will let the fourth lady personally take this king to visit the garden." β
Xiao Jinxuan raised her head, her eyes as clear as a cold pool, stared at Zhou Xianrui quietly, and suddenly laughed.
"Auntie's thoughts, Jinxuan naturally knows that His Royal Highness is the pride of the sky, as a mother, it is normal for people to want her daughter to be committed to His Highness, but I believe that His Highness is wise and will know that I will not be willing to condescend to others, if I am included in the palace, I am afraid that His Royal Highness's mansion will have no peace."
Yang's thoughts, how could Xiao Jinxuan not know, and even when the other party knew that after she **** could meet Zhou Xianrui, she had hinted to her that she wanted to seize the opportunity, even if she could become King Rui's concubine, the Yang family was also happy to hear it.
She can't say that Yang's idea is wrong, but how could she, Xiao Jinxuan, be willing to be a concubine, even if the other party is a prince, and she has never planned to marry in her life.
Therefore, Yang's proposal was rejected by her at that time, and Yang complained about her for a long time for this matter, and said that she didn't think about her relatives, if she got **, Xiao Wenyao could also be stained, and she would also get face, and finally persuaded her for a long time, and saw that Xiao Jinxuan just didn't let go, so she left angrily.
But Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that the Yang family still didn't give up, and directly hinted at this meaning with Zhou Xianrui, her heart hurt like being stabbed with a knife, and she didn't understand why she was treated so lightly by her mother, and even married as a child's play, and she directly wanted to give her away as a concubine.
And Zhou Xianrui, who was originally joking and smiling, was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, and then laughed loudly.
He thought that the other party would refute it, but he didn't expect the other party to say it so directly, and his palace would not be peaceful? He believed that with the other party's means, this was really not a difficult task.
But so what, if he can really welcome her into the mansion, and the other concubines are suppressed, he won't even frown, after all, the women in the mansion, which one he really likes, are all pawns to weigh the forces of all parties.
It's just such an arrogant woman, Zhou Xianrui knows that she will never give someone a concubine, but unfortunately he now has a concubine, otherwise he will not let go and try his best to compete for the hearts of beautiful women.
After laughing for a while, Zhou Xianrui stopped laughing and said softly: "Fourth Miss don't take it seriously, this king was just joking, you and I are just confidants, this king will never exceed the slightest, you can rest assured of this." β
When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she was blessed again, and Zhou Xianrui's answer was also expected by her, after all, this prince was also extremely clean and self-conscious in his previous life, and there were very few women in the house, and all his energy was devoted to his political achievements and assisting the prince.
Xiao Jinxuan even felt that compared to the benevolent prince, if this Rui Wang was willing to compete for the position of prince and ascend the throne as emperor, he would definitely be a generation of Ming monarchs. Because what he has in his heart is the voice of the people, and it is a pity that such a person is not the emperor.
Just when Xiao Jinxuan was thinking so, Zhou Xianrui stepped forward, took the garland from her hand, and personally helped her put it on her head in her surprised eyes.
"The fourth lady is a perfect match for this red plum, it looks good to wear like this, go with this king, there are some things you still owe this king an explanation."
Seeing that the other party had something to talk about, Xiao Jinxuan nodded and hurriedly followed.
"Your Highness wants to ask, did the **** stop you from killing Qian Yingluo?"
Zhou Xianrui's eyes flashed with appreciation, many times, if he didn't speak, the other party would immediately know what he was thinking.
Except for Xiao Jinxuan, there is no woman who can have such a heart and mind with him, even the princess Shen, who has lived with him for three years, has never been able to do this.
"That's right, if you kill Qian Yingluo that day, my sixth brother will definitely return to the teacher immediately, and he will also be difficult to interfere with me in Yangzhou, so why bother to leave Qian Yingluo."
Xiao Jinxuan smiled and asked, "But since Your Highness has thought about it in your heart, why do you still listen to my advice and leave Qian Yingluo alive." β
Zhou Xianrui turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jinxuan who was following behind him, in fact, this is also his strange place, he has always been strong-willed and rarely swayed.
But that day, the other party just said a word, and he didn't even explain much to him, but he just listened to it and did as he said.
It was only then that Zhou Xianrui knew that the other party had such a great influence on him from the beginning of time, and this change was very dangerous, but he was surprisingly not resistant.
Seeing that Zhou Xianrui was just looking at himself, but didn't speak, Xiao Jinxuan didn't care.
smiled and explained: "Your Highness's method, although you can get rid of the six princes, you can't completely get rid of him, and when you return to the capital in the future, he will still be a big obstacle, and I just want to help you get rid of him completely." β
Zhou Xianrui didn't know this truth, even if the other party is only a prince now, but it is only a matter of time before he becomes a king, and when the other party has real power in his hands, it will definitely become a big help for the second prince, and the hindrance to the prince will be very big.
Now that Xiao Jinxuan has a way, except for Zhou Xianqi, he is naturally happy to see it.
"In that case, this matter will be handed over to the fourth lady, and this king believes that you will give me a satisfactory result."
Xiao Jinxuan smiled, the light in her eyes became deeper and deeper, yes, this result will not only be satisfied with King Rui, but she will also be very satisfied.
