Chapter 190: Misunderstandings are cleared
Xiao Jinxuan and the others were in the main hall, and they analyzed all the intentions of Empress Xue in today's poisonous wine trick.
Just when they finished discussing each other and the words didn't fall for long, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and then Zhou Xianyu walked in in a flash.
Because on the night of the banquet, Xiao Jinxuan's words were heart-wrenching, and Zhou Xianyu, who was saddened, had a gloomy face for several days, and he didn't see the slightest smile.
But when he looked at this, not only was his face refreshed, but the signature evil smile between his eyebrows also appeared again on his peerless handsomeness that turned all beings upside down.
Especially looking at Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, the long-lost affectionate attachment appeared in his eyes again.
After all, when he and Empress Xue were fighting, Xiao Jinxuan's worry and nervousness could not deceive people, but just this trivial worry was enough to make Zhou Xianyu rekindle the enthusiasm in his heart.
And Xiao Jinxuan, this will be annoyed in her heart, knowing that she has been acting ruthlessly for so long, and she has been injured all over her body, but today she accidentally exposed her true feelings in front of Zhou Xianyu.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't feel the other party's passionate eyes, but what she could give the other party was only an indifferent back.
But even so, Zhou Xianyu, who had already been fooled once, no matter how cold Xiao Jinxuan was now, he told himself that he must not be deceived again.
Especially thinking of the past, Zhou Xianrui told him that the more the other party alienated him, the more he actually cared about his words, and immediately Zhou Xianyu's heart was not only not lost at all, but as if he had eaten honey, he was happy from the inside out.
Seeing that his seventh brother had changed back to this cynical appearance, Zhou Xianrui shook his head helplessly, and asked with concern:
"Xianyu, my father didn't punish you, but you are really reckless, the palace concubine of the third grade will be injured if you say that you are injured, and this matter will have a great impact on your reputation."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu smiled indifferently, and said indifferently:
"That old man didn't make it difficult for me, and he also helped me solve a big problem, as for Concubine Qian Hui, if she wasn't afraid that killing her in Yanqing Palace would add bad luck to the concubine, just because she first injured Xuan'er and then poisoned her, what is it to just waste her wrist, I want to cut her throat directly."
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu finished speaking, he also stretched out his hand and made a two-finger posture, Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan were okay, after all, they were not good men and women, and they didn't feel that there was anything bloody and uncomfortable about each other's words.
But Gu Qingping, a Confucian scholar who only reads sage books, saw Zhou Xianyu's angry appearance, and thought of the appearance of Concubine Hui's wrist spraying blood just now.
Immediately, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and retched twice, and his heart suddenly became more worried about his sister.
After all, now Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan, Gu Qingping can be regarded as a teacher or two of the depth of their feelings, and his own sister Gu Qingge, no matter how you look at it, seems to be an obstacle between these two people.
Although Gu Qingge now occupies the title of quasi-princess, Gu Qingping and Zhou Xianyu have grown up together since childhood, so he knows that if the other party is really hard-hearted and does not want to marry his sister as a concubine, then it is estimated that he can really do something to resist the decree and defect from Beijing.
At that time, his sister will become an unmarried and abandoned princess, and it is estimated that she will not be able to raise her head and be a man in this life, and she will become the biggest laughing stock of Jingshi.
In addition to worrying about Zhou Xianyu, deviant, and arbitrary, this will make Gu Qingping more and more jealous in his heart after seeing Xiao Jinxuan's ruthlessness and how powerful he is in controlling things.
Although he didn't understand why Xiao Jinxuan cared so much about Zhou Xianyu in private, but after meeting, he was as cold as ice, but when he thought that if Gu Qingge married into the royal princess and provoked this ruthless lord, he didn't think that his sister would be Xiao Jinxuan's opponent.
I didn't even blink my eyes when people talked about dealing with Empress Xue, thinking that Xiao Jinxuan had the support of the Shuai Mansion behind him, Gu Qingping really felt that his sister was really confused, and she shouldn't have been greedy and forced this marriage in the first place, which is no different from suicide.
Just when Gu Qingping was worried about Gu Qingge and worried about Gu Qingge, the sister who was being remembered by him was led in by Shen Yunqing.
When he came closer, Shen Wenqing said with a light smile after saying goodbye to Zhou Xianruifu:
"Lord, the princess of Shicai sent a message to me, saying that she is tired now, it is good to have her aunt with her, so that we can leave on our own, and now Qingge I have also found her back, see if we go out of the palace together."
At this time, Gu Qingge, who was following behind Shen Wenqing, took a few steps forward, and whispered with a look of guilt on his face:
"It's all my fault, and I'm still bothering my cousin and sister-in-law to find each other, I heard that Xiangping is also looking for me, and he hasn't come back yet, Qingge is so stupid, he got lost in the palace, so that everyone is worried about me."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui pondered for a while, knowing that his mother's side was afraid that he had already negotiated with Mrs. Gu, if he hadn't reached an agreement, his aunt would have left angrily a long time ago, instead of staying safely.
Knowing that Concubine Liang's side had been done, Zhou Xianrui felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately said to everyone: "Now that Qingge has also been found, let's leave the palace together." ”
Then Zhou Xianrui looked at Shen Wenqing again and continued:
"Didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to go back to Shen's house to have a look, but if you are free today, this king will accompany you back to your mother's house, and by the way, visit your father-in-law, and discuss with him about disaster relief in Gansu."
Shen Wenqing was naturally overjoyed to be able to go back to her parents' house, but then she glanced at Xiao Jinxuan again, and said with some anxiety:
"Xiangping has been out of the palace for a few days in a row, and now he can't go back with Jinxuan, or I and the prince will send you back to the Shuai Mansion first, and let you go back alone, it's still a little uneasy."
But as soon as Shen Wenqing finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu immediately stood in front of Xiao Jinxuan, and said with a smile on his eyebrows:
"Fifth sister-in-law, don't worry about it, Xuan'er will look at the arrangement here, when will the relationship between the two of you be so good, and I will send her back, isn't the fifth sister-in-law still at ease."
Pointing at Zhou Xianyu in surprise, Shen Wenqing looked at Xiao Jinxuan in astonishment, and couldn't understand how the two people who had vowed to live and die at the palace banquet were now tied together.
However, for this result, Shen Wenqing was happy to see it, especially after Zhou Xianrui had already told her that Concubine Liang was willing to help, if the marriage matter could be solved, the pair in front of him would be able to finally become a family.
Therefore, seeing that Zhou Xianyu was courteous, this opportunity Shen Wenqing was naturally going to be fulfilled, so he immediately covered his mouth and smiled, and did not mention the matter of sending Xiao Jinxuan again.
However, Shen Wenqing was looking forward to Zhou Xianyu and the two of them being reconciled as before, but Gu Qingge's hatred in her heart was already strong to the point that she was about to be swallowed up.
Thinking of the words that the other party said to her when she was separated from Empress Xue, if you want to get Zhou Xianyu, you must fight, grab, and fight, otherwise the person she loves will be snatched by Xiao Jinxuan after all.
His hands were clenched into fists, and he should have hated Gu Qingge, who was so jealous and sad, because Zhou Xianyu loved Xiao Jinxuan so much.
This time, not only did she not cry uncomfortably, but she didn't even show a trace of sadness, and her whole person was still filled with a quiet smile, and she took the initiative to step forward and hold Xiao Jinxuan's hand affectionately.
Then she turned her head and said softly to Shen Wenqing: "Cousin-in-law, you really don't have to worry, it just so happens that when I go back, I will pass by the Shuai Mansion, and then Qingge will send Jinxuan back together with His Royal Highness and my brother, and my sister can still be my companion along the way, which will save me boredom." ”
Gu Qingge, who had been completely brainwashed by Empress Xue, would be so kind, so naturally he had his own plans.
Because she didn't want to give Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu a chance to be alone, as long as she was with her, she could stare at them to death.
And Gu Qingge thought that the sisterhood she showed with Xiao Jinxuan was deep, and no one could notice her thoughts.
But after all, she is a deep daughter, although she was bewitched by Empress Xue, but this mental strategy is still not very clever.
Therefore, her too obvious hypocrisy, it is estimated that among the people present, except for her brother Gu Qingping, no one really can't see what kind of calculation she is making.
However, in this regard, Zhou Xianrui is her cousin, so it is naturally difficult to say anything, and Xiao Jinxuan wishes that someone was in the middle, in case Zhou Xianyu was too close to her.
Although Zhou Xianyu protested depressedly twice, in the end, the four of them left the palace together.
Xiao Jinxuan and Gu Qingge are both daughters of the family, so they naturally have to be in the carriage.
But Zhou Xianyu, who has always ridden horses, in order to find various opportunities to get close to Xiao Jinxuan, gave up his past habits and got into the carriage.
As for Gu Qingping, a weak scholar, he had never touched a horse in his life, so although he felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little strange, he could only bite the bullet, sandwiched between the other three, and also squeezed into the carriage together.
The vehicles of the nobles of the family have always been extremely spacious, and even if there are four people sitting below, it does not seem to be too crowded.
And Gu Qingge, who said that he wanted to accompany Xiao Jinxuan and relieve his boredom on the road, would just look at Zhou Xianyu with obsessive eyes, let alone talk to Xiao Jinxuan, he didn't even look at the other party.
But no matter how much Gu Qingge looked through the autumn water, Zhou Xianyu's gaze stayed on Xiao Jinxuan's body, even if he only looked out the window along the way, but he still talked to himself, in order to make the other party laugh.
Sitting in the car, Gu Qingping, who was really getting more and more uncomfortable, endured it for a few quarters of an hour, stopped the horse in the market, and pulled Gu Qingge's sleeve, and said with persuasion:
"Sister, if you want to go to the Golden Study for my brother, why don't you go with me, as for Miss Jinxuan, let the king personally send her back."
Seeing that his own brother wanted to break himself away and leave a chance for the two people in the car to be alone, Gu Qingge immediately refused.
But before she could speak, Xiao Jinxuan had already gotten up first, and said coldly while getting out of the car:
"Or the three of you go first, my second aunt is about to celebrate her birthday, I ordered a pair of jade bracelets for her in Baoqing Zhai, the day of picking up the goods was today, originally this matter was explained to Wen Xin, but now it is not far away, I will go and pick it up in person."
After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan had already gotten out of the carriage and walked forward without looking back, but how could Zhou Xianyu give up so easily, he didn't think about it immediately, and jumped out of the car.
"Your second aunt, I'm calling my aunt now, Jinxuan is waiting for me, since it's my birthday, I also want to choose something as a gift, let's go together."
