Chapter 420: Wen Qing's Return (1)

Regarding all the deployments of Zhou Xianrui, Xiao Jinxuan can be said to be involved in the whole process now, so when she heard that the other party wanted to guard against the Xue family, she immediately shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"Your Highness, don't forget, you don't have any military power. Your only few hundred elite shadow guards were also sent into the palace by you in batches to protect the safety of His Majesty, Concubine Liang Niangniang and others. Therefore, it's okay if the Xue family doesn't make a move, if there is a rebellion, we can only avoid its edge, but we have no chance to win against the enemy. ”

Although he is a child of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a dignified prince of the dynasty, Zhou Xianrui is unwilling.

I also have to admit that if you want to contain the Xue family, it is true that in addition to the strength of the Beijing military camp, the dignified Great Zhou Dynasty has no one to stop the footsteps of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This is not to say that the Great Zhou army was insufficient, but because the ancestral emperor was afraid of the important ministers who held military power, so they were generally told to guard the frontier and were not allowed to return to Beijing easily.

And every time the first emperor dies, after the new emperor ascends the throne, in order to prevent too many tragedies of fratricide.

Therefore, the siblings and brothers of the new emperor will go to the fiefdom, and they will basically not return to Beijing unless they are summoned.

Because although the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the troops in various places are sufficient, only this Beijing division Changping is the weakest place in the troop point.

And because of this fatal flaw, although the important ministers rebelled and the rebellion of the vassal king was effectively controlled, it gave the prime minister a favorable condition to cover the sky.

But when he thought of the scene when Zhou Xianyu almost suffocated him to death under the city gate that day, although Zhou Xianrui never held a grudge against this seventh brother because of this, he couldn't help but say with some concern:

"If I had believed that the Jingshi had changed, the Seventh Brother would definitely help me. But now the king doesn't dare to put his last hope on the body of Xianyu. After all, the person he hates the most now is probably me Zhou Xianrui. ”

Xiao Jinxuan kept silent because she wanted to force Zhou Xianyu away from her side, and she didn't explain the misunderstanding of the big wedding.

And Zhou Xianrui had the heart to have a good talk with this seventh brother, but as soon as the other party came back, he almost killed him on the spot.

And now Zhou Xianrui seems to be the only person in the Manchu Dynasty who can balance the Prime Minister's Mansion, but his every move is monitored by the Xue family.

Therefore, Zhou Xianrui knew very well in his heart that if he made a slight move, or Zhou Xianyu's actions were noticed by the Prime Minister.

That is likely to lead to an early rebellion, and the situation can only be worse.

The higher the position, the heavier the burden on your shoulders becomes, and even every step you take in the next step will be dozens of steps ahead, or even hundreds of steps.

Not only can they not act rashly, but they also affect their whole body, so Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Jinxuan can't be cautious, otherwise they will easily fail to deal with the Xue family, and they will not be able to recover in one step.

And Xiao Jinxuan knew in her heart that Zhou Xianrui was the heir to the throne set by Emperor Ming, but the lack of troops was the other party's current flaw.

Racking her brains and not coming up with any good ideas to make up for the other party's shortcomings, Xiao Jinxuan immediately couldn't help but groan, and even stroked her forehead with her hand, feeling that her brain hurt a lot.

Maybe it's because since she was reborn, Xiao Jinxuan has almost **** lived in planning and prudence. In addition, some time ago, because of Zhou Xianyu's worries, he became ill.

Now although this qi and blood will be raised, she has fallen into a disease that causes an unbearable headache if she uses her brain too much.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan used to be too troubled, and she didn't sleep for a while after drinking the tranquilizing decoction, but now these methods don't work.

As soon as she saw Xiao Jinxuan's eyebrows, she obviously looked like she had a headache again.

Immediately, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and he would never talk about things in advance, so that the other party would not bother to be sad.

And when Zhou Xianrui washed up and was ready to go to court, Xiao Jinxuan, who had a lot of headaches, still held on to her discomfort and personally sent the other party out.

In fact, the two of them slept in the same room, and Xiao Jinxuan **** sent Zhou Xianrui to the gate of the palace, showing a very loving look.

In order to ask the spies of the Xue family, who appear all the time, to pass on this scene to Empress Xue and the others.

Because only if they can stabilize their position and not show the slightest flaw, can Empress Xue's side be a little scared, and even show their mistakes on their own under anxiety.

And after arriving at the gate of Rui Wang's Mansion, because it was still a little cool in the morning and evening after autumn, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but hand the cloak to Zhou Xianrui with her own hands.

The headache was already completely over, and she couldn't help but start to bother with chips again and continued to instruct:

"Your Highness comes back today, it is better to remember to bring some things for Concubine Xue from outside, if you can stay with the other party, presumably this Xue Yuyan will be extremely happy. Recently, we haven't heard a lot of news from her mouth, and this will be extremely useful to stabilize the other party. And we can also use her mouth to pretend to reveal the news that confuses the Xue family to her, and ask Xue Yuyan to pass it back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. This chess piece is still useful, but the prince must be carefully surrounded. ”

Although he and Xiao Jinxuan are only husband and wife, they are not really married.

But when Zhou Xianrui heard that the other party was so careless that he wanted to push him to another woman's side, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Xianrui also knew that it was indeed an extremely important thing to be stable with Xue Yuyan.

Therefore, in the past month, although he is the most comfortable, he is working in Xiao Jinxuan's room, and guarding each other to sleep peacefully through a screen.

But in order to appease Xiao Yuyan and not make the Xue family suspicious, he still stayed in the other party's courtyard for five or six days.

Therefore, after hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, he thought that he had indeed not been to see Xue Yuyan for a while, and immediately Zhou Xianrui nodded and signaled that he knew what to do, and then got on his horse and rushed to the palace to go to court.

And after sending Zhou Xianrui away, as usual, Xiao Jinxuan returned to her courtyard, wrote and read books, and in the blink of an eye, the morning passed unconsciously.

And just when Xiao Jinxuan was a little sleepy at noon, when she closed the scroll and was about to rest, she suddenly knocked on the door from outside and came in, and then looked at her with an unnatural face.

As soon as she saw Xin's eyes, Xiao Jinxuan knew that something must have happened, and I am afraid that this matter is not small.

Immediately, the first thing that Xiao Jinxuan thought of in her heart was to hand it over to Zhou Yi, who was taken by the nurse, because she said anxiously in a busy voice:

"What do you have to say, Ah Xin, could it be that Zhou Yi's child spit up milk and cried again. Hurry up and bring him over, since this child is willing to be safe by my side, then I will take care of him today. ”

Maybe it's because he has been taken by Xiao Jinxuan since he was born and escaped, the child of Chi Ling.

Zhou Yi, who has now officially been declared by Zhou Xianrui to be his own flesh and blood, cries every time, and only when he is by Xiao Jinxuan's side is he willing to sleep quietly.

Seeing that Xin shook his head and denied Xiao Jinxuan's guess, he frowned and said:

"Jinxuan, you are ready to prepare, or hurry up to the princess's main courtyard, just in time Princess Shen is back, and all the concubines in the palace will rush over to greet her."

The scroll in his hand almost didn't fall off the ground, although Xiao Jinxuan had long known that one day Shen Qing would come back.

But now that the other party has really returned home, she is a little panicked in her heart, and she doesn't know how to explain to Shen Qing that she will marry Zhou Xianrui.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been weak in solving problems with evasion, immediately told Zhuxin to take care of the courtyard gate after stabilizing her mind, and she took Xin to the main courtyard.

Because the main courtyard is where the princess lives, it has always been the best location in the environment, and the residence that Zhou Xianrui chose for Xiao Jinxuan is not far from the main courtyard, and it is also a rather elegant courtyard in the palace.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Xiao Jinxuan to walk into the main courtyard of the princess, and when she stepped into the hall, her eyes touched Shen Qing.

And I saw that the two of them were sitting in the hall and the other was standing at the door of the hall, and they looked at each other without saying anything.

Xue Yuyan, who was originally going to watch a good show, was a little anxious immediately, so he couldn't help but fanning the flames in his mouth:

"The princess's sister Shicai Yuyan told you that the concubine of the Xiao family, whom you have always loved as your own sister, has been accepted by the prince as a side concubine, and you still don't believe it. Now that this person has come, and is standing in front of your sister, you will not think that your sister is joking with you. ”

Xue Yuyan will fan the flames, that is because she is jealous of Xiao Jinxuan's expertise, which is already an unforgivable sin for her.

And only then did she also have a grudge against Xiao Jinxuan, so she quit the grounding, and her concubine Xu Tingyin, who had always held a grudge against the ten soft whips, could not help but fall into the well and said:

"What a good sister, it's not all unreliable in front of glory and wealth. It's a shame that the princess, you used to invite those ungrateful things to come over to the palace for a small gathering, but now people are in the palace and refuse to leave. Obviously, there is already a marriage contract, and when I hear the news of the death of the king, I will immediately remarry the prince of our family. This kind of shameless woman, if it were for me, Xu Tingyin would have no face to continue to live. ”

The Wu family, who was born as a servant girl and already had an inferiority complex, actually didn't want to offend the other party after seeing Xiao Jinxuan's ruthless side.

Therefore, even if Xu Tingyin tried her best to give her a look, the Wu family just lowered his head tightly and pretended not to see it. ”

As for Su Qin, who is also a concubine, he sat in the backmost position because he was the latest to enter the mansion.

I saw that when she looked at Xiao Jinxuan, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she was silent with a thoughtful face for a moment, and finally stood up and said:

"Returning to the princess, Su Qin felt that the wedding between Concubine Xiao and the prince was also given by His Majesty the Holy Majesty who entered the palace. Therefore, the concubine felt that what Sister Xu had just said was really inappropriate, could it be that even the emperor acquiesced to it, but my sister dared to criticize it, which was a big disrespectful crime. ”

As soon as she heard Su Qin's words, Xu Tingyin's face immediately turned white, just now she was only sarcastic about Xiao Jinxuan, but she forgot that the other party's marriage was given by the emperor himself, and she was not allowed to comment behind her back.

Seeing that this Su Qin dared to compete with him, Xu Tingyin was so angry that he stood up directly, and pointed at the other party as if he refused to give up.

But before she could make a noise, Shen Qing, who was sitting at the top of the house, immediately slapped the table and scolded:

"What kind of system is noisy and noisy, which is right and which is not, the concubine will decide by herself, and you don't need to point fingers here. However, some people really don't take this concubine too seriously, and don't kneel down for me immediately, if I don't punish you severely today, I really can't be Shen Qing, the Rui princess. ”
