Compared with Xiao Jinxuan, for the arrival of Empress Xue and Xiao Yuyan, she has begun to be vigilant in her heart.

just returned to the palace, and Shen Wenqing, who has always been kind, her first thought was to get up and greet her.

After all, Empress Xue is still the mother of a country, and Xue Yuyan is pregnant again.

Yu Li and Shen Wenqing felt that it would be disrespectful not to worship Empress Xue, even if she didn't like Xue Yuyan, it would be even more clear that the other party was likely to compete with her for the next position.

But as long as Shen Wenqing thought that the other party was still pregnant with Zhou Xianrui's child, she was afraid that the other party would slip and bump into the cold road, and in her eyes, the big thing could not withstand the importance of the safety and blood of the Rui Wangfu.

But Shen Wenqing was about to get up, but Xiao Jinxuan grabbed her, and motioned for her to sit upright, and she didn't have to go out of the hall to greet her.

Regarding Shen Wenqing's indisputable generosity, Xiao Jinxuan has been with each other for a long time, and naturally she is very clear in her heart.

But now, although Empress Xue has withdrawn from the rebellion, this incident still has an adverse impact on her after all.

Therefore, in order to completely get rid of the connection with the rebellion case, Empress Xue has almost stayed in Fengxiang Palace for the past few months.

Eat fast all day long and pray for those soldiers who died in battle, and make a compassionate gesture.

And Xiao Jinxuan's attitude towards Xue Hou's actions is not to respond or interfere.

And the more she didn't connect with the other party like this, it just made Empress Xue unable to find a breakthrough, so she could only blindly continue to sing the fake benevolent drama, but she was never able to meddle in the affairs of the palace.

But now that Shen Wenqing is back, nominally according to her position, she is the concubine who is much higher than Xiao Jinxuan.

If she behaves too deferentially to Empress Xue, she will invisibly enhance the other party's status.

Then Empress Xue can get rid of the situation of staying in Fengxiang Palace all day long, almost under house arrest.

And the more Shen Wenqing is polite to the other party, the more unfavorable the situation on their own side will be. Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan naturally wanted to stop her, and she would not let this kind of low-level mistake happen under her nose.

And after explaining these truths and reasons to Shen Wenqing clearly, and explaining to the other party for a brief salute, Xiao Jinxuan can sit upright.

Seeing that Shen Wenqing nodded and understood everything, she immediately ordered Wen Xin to go out of the hall to greet Empress Xue and the others.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under low eaves.

In the past, when this harem was controlled by Empress Xue, she went to Yanqing Palace of Concubine Liang, and she never needed to be reported, but she directly led people to break in, and no one dared to say anything about her.

But now this harem can be said to have gradually been controlled by Xiao Jinxuan, so even if Xue Hou came to Zhaoyang Palace, he was left outside and waited for a while.

But Empress Xue could only endure the contempt and humiliation she had never received before, and even after being invited into the hall, even if she was angry, the decent smile on her face was always gone.

And if there is anyone who is most feared by Empress Xue today, there is no second person except Xiao Jinxuan.

After all, Zhou Xianrui is about to become the emperor, and the other party will never dare to touch her under the constraints of filial piety. And Zhou Xianyu, a prince, can't interfere in the affairs of the harem concubines.

And in this harem, it has always been a battlefield for women. And Xiao Jinxuan is both resolute in her heart and strategizing, and she is very good at planning.

This made Empress Xue have to worry a lot, and she also knew that if Xiao Jinxuan was in the harem for a day, it would be impossible for her to return to the heyday of covering the sky with one hand.

Therefore, out of all kinds of scruples about Xiao Jinxuan in his heart, coupled with the rebellion, Xue Hou has not cleared himself up.

Therefore, even if she entered the dormitory, she only smiled and greeted Shen Wenqing, and did not make any other moves.

But Empress Xue was calm, but Xue Yuyan, who came with the other party, was very irritable in her heart.

After all, in Xue Yuyan's opinion, with her now pregnant and the support of her mother's family, she must be firmly seated.

But Shen Wenqing's safe return, as well as the identity of the other party's concubine, brought great pressure to Xue Yuyan.

Therefore, Shen Wenqing was welcomed into the palace here, and Xue Yuyan begged Empress Xue to come with her to explore the truth, if she could give the other party a dismount, it would be better.

However, Xue Yuyan watched Xue come to Zhaoyang Palace, but he had only been chatting with Shen Wenqing.

This aunt didn't say anything about supporting her, she didn't even say a word of weight.

Immediately, Xue Yuyan naturally couldn't get used to it, and decided not to continue to wait, she wanted to personally ask Shen Wenqing to recognize the reality and not compete with her for the back position.

Therefore, I saw that Xue Yuyan was six months pregnant, her posture was slightly clumsy, but her expression was quite arrogant, so she walked in front of Shen Wenqing, and then said with a very proud smile:

"Sister Shen heard that you returned safely, my sister has been in the palace for the past few months, and the food is all the high-quality things that the prince has rewarded. Thinking that my sister had suffered and sinned in the Zhuangzi for many months, my sister really couldn't bear it and was terrified. However, I heard that the reason why my sister was able to return to the palace was because Concubine Xiao and the prince asked for it, so it seems that in the heart of the prince, my sister has long been forgotten, so it is difficult to return to the palace. But it's no wonder, after all, Yuyan is pregnant now, and the prince only has the child in my womb in his eyes, so naturally he can't take care of those who don't matter. ”

Seeing that Xue Yuyan said this, she also defiantly straightened her bulging abdomen very proudly.

Immediately, Shen Wenqing saw this scene, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, but when she thought that the other party was pregnant with Zhou Xianrui's child, she couldn't be stimulated now.

So thinking that the child was innocent after all, in order to prevent Xue Yuyan from being unstable, Shen Wenqing couldn't help but secretly endure this breath, and immediately didn't say anything.

But Xiao Jinxuan on the side has always been extremely protective of those close to her, especially when she looked at Shen Wenqing's generosity and forbearance, but in exchange for Xue Yuyan's more smug and sarcastic smile, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart

Then I saw Xiao Jinxuan pick up the teacup and drink a sip of fragrant tea calmly.

Only then did he raise his eyes and look at Xue Yuyan, and then said in a mocking voice:

"Concubine Xue, I see that since you entered my dormitory, it seems that you haven't bowed to the princess yet. The prince takes good care of you, and that is for the sake of the heir in your arms, not for you to be pampered and proud. What's more, if I remember correctly, when the palace fell, Concubine Xue, you abandoned the safety of the prince and escaped to heaven first. It was the princess who left behind to break off that gave the prince the opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Therefore, this married wife is indeed not comparable to the wife of the side. And I believe that for Concubine Xue who desperately escaped a few months ago, regardless of the lives of others, Prince Rui must remember it, and I am afraid that he will never forget it in his life. ”

Xue Yuyan, who was still complacent, heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, and immediately her face turned blue and red for a while, and her expression was also very embarrassed.

After all, on the day of the fall of the palace, because Xue Yuyan was the blood of the prime minister's family, someone secretly reported all this to her early in the morning, and told her to prepare to flee from the Rui Palace.

Therefore, thinking of his rather disgraceful escape, Xue Yuyan knew about it, even if Zhou Xianrui didn't mention it afterwards, he would definitely have a problem in his heart.

Xue Yuyan, who was still arrogant just now, was immediately completely arrogant because of Xiao Jinxuan's few words, not to mention that she was embarrassed to stand up for Shen Wenqing, she was simply speechless and embarrassed when she was forced to ask.

And seeing that as soon as Xiao Jinxuan opened her mouth, Xue Yuyan was immediately defeated, and Xue Hou, who was sitting upright on the side, couldn't help but be even more annoyed that this niece was simply stupid and dull like a pig, and she was too calm.

After all, this is Zhaoyang Palace, Xiao Jinxuan already has an absolute advantage, and it is simply stupid to provoke friction here.

But even if Xue Yuyan is stupid and useless, if the other party gives birth to a baby boy, then this child will have half of the Xue family's blood on his body.

Based on this alone, Empress Xue must protect Xue Yuyan until the other party gives birth to the child smoothly.

After all, now that Zhou Xiantai is dead, even if Empress Xue is crowned the queen mother by Zhou Xianrui, who ascended the throne and called the emperor, she can be the good concubine of the new emperor's biological mother, and she will also be registered as the queen mother according to the ancestral system of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, when Empress Xue thought that she could not only become the unique Empress Dowager, but could only be condescended to the Empress Dowager of the East, and was on an equal footing with Concubine Liang, who was about to become the Empress Dowager of the West, Empress Xue's heart was filled with strong unwillingness.

So now she has no son to compete for the throne, so Empress Xue turned her mind to the fetus in Xue Yuyan's womb.

And with the imperial doctor's vein, he concluded that Xue Yuyan's fetus should be a baby boy, so Empress Xue thought viciously that if Zhou Xianrui was poisoned, then she could push this child to become the emperor.

When the emperor was young, she listened to the government as the empress dowager. After all, Empress Xue had poisoned Emperor Ming and the crown prince with her own hands, and for her to poison Zhou Xianrui, this kind of thing was absolutely done.

Therefore, Empress Xue, who attaches great importance to the fetus in Xue Yuyan's womb, naturally can't watch the other party being forced by Xiao Jinxuan step by step, and if she has fetal gas, it will be a big deal for her.

So I saw that Empress Xue first got up and pulled Xue Yuyan to sit down, and then she looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a smile.

"Jinxuan, don't laugh at you, this child, Yuyan is the side concubine of Xianyu, and naturally she will not forget the safety of her husband. It's just that she was pregnant at that time, and the palace fell, so she hid herself in order to keep the fetus in her womb safe. Yuyan also explained this matter to Xianrui, so I hope that next time there will be no others talking about this matter. After all, Yuyan still has to raise the fetus with peace of mind, otherwise the royal heirs will be hindered, that is, Jinxuan, you now have the right to take charge of the harem, and this responsibility will definitely not be afforded. ”

Empress Xue hid a needle in this cotton, and Xiao Jinxuan could naturally hear the words with warnings.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who has never been able to be intimidated by a few casual words, immediately couldn't help but laugh, and without giving in, she directly replied:

"What the queen mother said, so I have to trouble you to bring Concubine Xue back to Fengxiang Palace immediately. Since she wants to raise the baby with peace of mind, she shouldn't go out and walk around at will on weekdays. And Niangniang is Concubine Xue's aunt, Jinxuan is too young, and she is really afraid that she can't take care of Concubine Xue, so I will entrust you to the queen mother to take care of the other party. As you said, the big thing is not as big as the royal heir, so this harem Jinxuan will take care of it properly, and the mother will accompany Concubine Xue to raise the fetus with peace of mind, Fengxiang Palace, if you can not come out in the future, it is better to come out less. ”
