Chapter 324: Rush to the Birthday Banquet
Since Xiao Jinxuan left the Yongchang Palace on the day of the fight, in the evening of the same day, the eunuchs in the palace came to the Shuai Mansion with the holy decree of canonizing her as the county lord.
And now, it has been four days later, in fact, after the division of the county lord, Zhou Tianhao had come to her, meaning that he wanted Xiao Jinxuan to move directly to the Yongchang Palace.
After all, now Xiao Jinxuan is not only the concubine of the Shuai Mansion, but also the righteous daughter of the King of Yongchang, and it stands to reason that even if she moves to the palace, it is reasonable.
But in the Shuai Mansion, although it is always unsatisfactory, there is a second aunt Shen who needs to be taken care of, and Xiao Wenyao, a younger brother, who Xiao Jinxuan can't give up.
Therefore, after rejecting Zhou Tianhao's kindness from the second brother, Xiao Jinxuan still chose to live in the Forsythia Courtyard.
Now a few days have passed, and because today is the birthday of Mrs. Bai, Xiao Jinxuan, the county lord, is naturally also invited.
And now, whenever she attends the banquet, she will definitely personally meet Zhou Xianyu, who is going with her, this time she still abandoned the horse and rode in the car, accompanying Xiao Jinxuan to the Huaguo Mansion.
After all, Lao Taijun was born as a princess of the royal family, and Zhou Xianyu, these princes are the younger nephews of each other.
Therefore, this annual birthday banquet, almost everyone in the royal family will participate, and even the Ming Emperor came to the mansion the year before last, and this honor is unique in the entire Great Zhou.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was wearing a phoenix-patterned palace skirt, wore a gold pendant peony on her head, and swayed slightly as the carriage moved forward.
Xiao Jinxuan, who was gently supporting her chin with one hand and leaning against the window, felt the hot gaze coming from the opposite side, and immediately she smiled, and then said helplessly:
"Your Royal Highness, don't you know that it is very rude to stare at a woman so closely, or is there something wrong with me, who is dressed according to the rules of the county lord, if you look like this, you will quickly get out of the carriage and ride a horse outside, and I will not feel comfortable in the province."
Xiao Jinxuan's temperament has always been cold, and Zhou Xianyu has already adapted to it now, so the gentle expression on his face has not changed at all, and he said lazily:
"My Xuan'er looks good no matter what she wears, but this county lord's palace dress is more luxurious, you have rarely worn so bright, you are used to seeing you plain, now Jinxuan is so bright and gorgeous, the lord naturally wants to feast his eyes, hurry up and take a few more looks."
Seeing that a trace of blush flashed on Xiao Jinxuan's face, Zhou Xianyu liked to tease each other more and more at this time.
Immediately, I saw him approaching Xiao Jinxuan in a sly manner, and then he fell in the other party's ear, and said with a smile in his eyes:
"But no matter how beautiful this county lord's palace skirt is, I still believe that when Xuan'er puts on the princess's court dress, it will definitely be even more beautiful than now, or when I come back after the birthday banquet, Jinxuan will go back to the palace with me." Your princess's new clothes can't wait, and she has prepared several sets for you. ”
When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, her face immediately flushed shyly, after all, the princess was wearing a skirt, so she could be regarded as Zhou Xianyu's wife.
Seeing that the marriage between the two had not yet been decided, Zhou Xianyu said such embarrassing words, and immediately Xiao Jinxuan didn't want the other party to mess around.
Therefore, seeing her stretching out her hand, she planned to quickly push Zhou Xianyu away from her.
But his hand touched the other party's placket, and then he was gently grabbed by Zhou Xianyu, and before Xiao Jinxuan could react, the next moment the other party had already pulled her slightly, and instantly dragged her into his arms.
When the whole person was tightly wrapped in the smell of golden orchids, Xiao Jinxuan's always calm heart couldn't help but beat faster in an instant.
And when Zhou Xianyu's kiss was domineering and irresistible, he attacked her.
Xiao Jinxuan only felt that her whole body had become weak and weak, and in the end, she could only rely on the other party to ask for it, and she had no decent resistance at all.
And seeing Xiao Jinxuan, a little fox who makes others frightened and often stretches out his claws, he will be docile like a white rabbit.
Zhou Xianyu was immediately polite, and the lovesickness that had been going on for days was all integrated into this kiss, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
And just when the two of them were in this carriage, the warmth that could not be dissolved, and they were selfless, suddenly Su Qi knocked on the door and called softly, and announced that the Huaguo Mansion had arrived.
Su Qi's voice was like a cold wind, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was in love, woke up in an instant.
Immediately, she hurriedly pushed Zhou Xianyu away, looking at the messy clothes in front of her, and the embarrassed appearance of a large piece of snow muscle covered with kiss marks.
In an instant, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and she didn't even dare to look at Zhou Xianyu in shame.
And Zhou Xianyu, who will be here, is just like the ** cat, when the spring breeze is proud, but he was interrupted so stiffly.
If he hadn't known that Su Qi outside was Xiao Jinxuan's right-hand man, Zhou Xianyu would really have the intention of strangling the other party.
With an extremely annoyed low curse, Zhou Xianyu took Xiao Jinxuan into his arms from the beginning.
Then gently but clumsily helped Xiao Jinxuan arrange her dress, and muttered in a complaining whisper:
"I can't eat it every day, but finally the master is a little satisfied, and the guy outside makes trouble again. If it weren't for the state banquet, Ji Lingfeng would have come out to stir up the situation, Xuan'er, you would have been my quasi-princess by now. And in this life, apart from me, you don't want to marry another man, so don't be so shy in front of your lord, otherwise we will be husband and wife in the future, Xuan'er is so shy, won't I have to eat closed doors every night. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu actually said such a shameful thing seriously, Xiao Jinxuan just couldn't exert his strength.
Otherwise, she would have pushed the other party out of the carriage first, and she would have fainted in embarrassment.
After Xiao Jinxuan's dress was finally tidied up, Zhou Xianyu forcibly suppressed the heat in his abdomen, and then did not forget to instruct:
"This Bai family is extremely hostile to you because of Xiao Jinyu. I can do everything that was poisoned last time, so Xuan'er must be careful in everything after entering the mansion. And after a while, according to the rules, you are a female guest and you are going to the back house, although I want to protect you, but I have to stay in the front yard. But if there is a real change, remember to ask someone to come quickly, only me, don't carry everything by yourself, Jinxuan, you are the princess that I Zhou Xianyu has identified, so when I am here, I don't want to ask you to work too much alone. ”
As Zhou Xianyu's voice fell, the carriage was also opened by the other party, and after Xiao Jinxuan was helped out of the carriage, she nodded and said with a chuckle:
"This man and woman have never been able to sit at the same table, so you just have to go, if there is really something, I will ask Zhuxin to find you."
After a few words of uneasy instructions, Zhou Xianyu reluctantly walked to the Guogong Mansion first.
And after Xiao Jinxuan calmed down the flush on her face a little, she looked at Su Qi and said:
"Actually, you don't have to come with you today, the back house is full of female dependents, and it's inconvenient for me to take you in, not to mention that Ling Xiao and Agar are here, you are too cautious."
Because he was almost poisoned in the Guogong Mansion last time, he later asked the hidden guard to know about it, but this time in order not to make a mistake, Su Qi personally went out and followed him directly.
Hearing this, Su Qi, who pretended to be a coachman, and was no longer what he used to be, immediately frowned calmly, and then whispered to Ling Xiao and the two daughters:
"The two of you must protect your master, if anything happens, immediately send a message to the cloud bee, I will stay near here, if the Bai family dares to make unfavorable moves, I can go to support you."
As soon as he heard this, Ling Xiao immediately nodded, and then said with a firm expression:
"Don't worry, boss, with us, whoever wants to hurt Miss in the slightest, unless they step on the corpses of my sisters first."
When Chi Ling was cultivating hidden guards, the first thing he taught everyone was not upper-level kung fu, nor was it a unique method, but the word loyalty.
In addition, Xiao Jinxuan does have the grace of reinvention for these orphans, so Ling Xiao's words are heartfelt.
As early as after being selected and becoming Xiao Jinxuan's personal maid, Ling Xiao and Agar were ready to sacrifice at any time, and this was not only for them to repay their kindness, but also to be an honor.
After everything was ordered, Xiao Jinxuan led the three of Zhuxin and walked towards the main gate of the Guogong Mansion.
As soon as she entered the mansion, a maid who was waiting next to her immediately took the initiative to lead the way.
Originally, the nobles of this family, because of the complex layout of the house, so when holding a banquet, they would always call their servants and maidservants to guide the guests who came, and this was also an extremely common thing.
But the maid who led the way for Xiao Jinxuan only walked three or four meters forward, and then suddenly turned to face her, and then knelt on the ground without warning.
Looking at the maid who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to herself, Rao is Xiao Jinxuan has always been calm and calm, which will be a little confused.
And looking at the other guests around here, they also couldn't stop looking over here.
After the maid's forehead was bruised, the other party slowed down, and then said in an extremely frightened tone:
"Lord Zhaoyang spares your life, the last time the slave stopped you from entering the mansion, it was also a moment of confusion, and afterwards the eldest lady has already deducted my moon silver and punished me heavily. Qiu Ling won't dare next time, so I'll kowtow to you and compensate me, I hope you will spare me. ”
was reminded like this, Xiao Jinxuan remembered when she first arrived at the Guogong Mansion.
The maid who was ordered by Xiao Jinyu to stop her from entering the mansion, and was later slapped by her, is not this Qiu Ling who is kneeling in front of her now.
"Okay, you get up, it's already a thing of the past, I don't mean to settle accounts with you after the autumn, on top of such a birthday banquet, your behavior is really unseemly."
Seeing that there were more and more people watching around, Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't want to be in the limelight anywhere and was used to being low-key and introverted, wanted to persuade Qiu Ling to get up quickly.
What's more, so long has passed since the last incident, and since Qiu Ling had been punished at that time, Xiao Jinxuan didn't think about finding the other party's bad luck at all.
And if it weren't for this Qiu Ling today, who took the initiative to kneel down and admit her mistake, Xiao Jinxuan wouldn't have noticed the other party at all, it was the servant girl who had stopped her before.
At this moment, Bai Liu, who was the master's family, suddenly stood out from the crowd of onlookers and discussions, and came to the front a few steps, she first gave Xiao Jinxuan a blessing, and then said with a smile:
"Sister first wants to congratulate my sister, now that she has become the county lord, Qiu Ling, this girl doesn't need to pay attention, telling her to look down on people in the past, but now when she sees her sister's noble status, she runs to kneel and admit her mistake. This kind of subordinate who doesn't understand the rules, after the birthday banquet, I will send her out of the house, and the next time I will disturb the county lord. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Liu sent Qiu Ling aside, and then took Xiao Jinxuan's hand and said with a kind face:
"Now I call the county lord a sister, in fact, my sister is the eldest sister, but our Xiao Bai family is already in-lawed like a family, knowing that Jinxuan was able to divide the seal, and grandmother is also happy for you, so I specially asked me to come to greet you in person, she has some small things in her old man's house, and she wants to give them to her sister, let's hurry over."
