Chapter 175: Concubine Hui Qian
Three bows and nine knocks, that is definitely the highest etiquette in the Great Zhou, and when it is not a state banquet celebration, it is easy for no one to do this kind of big gift.
Xiao Jinxuan had been Princess Ling herself in her previous life, so she was familiar with the rules and etiquette of the palace, but it was not Qingxiang's casual words that could easily coax her.
Not to mention that Qingxiang is just a princess born to a concubine, that is, the princess born to the queen, and it is difficult to bear the gift of three bows and nine knocks.
Seeing that Qingxiang didn't tell her to get up, and looked at her with a teasing look, Xiao Jinxuan chuckled at the corner of her mouth, and stood up on her own.
"The princess's words are overstepping, in my Great Zhou, except for the emperor and the queen's mother, no one deserves to enjoy the big gift of three bows and nine bows, does the princess feel that her identity is more noble than the emperor and queen, if this is the case, what is the difficulty of Jinxuan worshipping."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan really lifted the palace skirt lightly, and then she was about to kneel, but this would make her obedient and abnormal, but Qingxiang didn't dare to accept this bow.
The body was busy avoiding the side, Qingxiang's face was very ugly, she really didn't expect that this Xiao Jinxuan would be so eloquent.
Qingxiang really wanted Xiao Jinxuan to kneel in front of her in public in this imperial garden and grovel to her.
But she got carried away for a while, patronizing the princess's shelf, but forgot that three bows and nine knocks are the exclusive gifts of the emperor and queen, if she will be bowed by the other party, it is a great rebellion, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and if it is known afterwards, she will inevitably be punished.
Therefore, this will be borrowing a hundred courage from Qingxiang, and she doesn't dare to accept this worship.
Seeing that Qingxiang hurriedly avoided it, Xiao Jinxuan, who had no intention of bowing, naturally immediately put away her kneeling posture and stood up in a dignified and decent manner.
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was so calm and relaxed, the anger in Qingxiang's heart rose suddenly, and she immediately waved her hand to the personal palace maid Huanpei, and she said with a cruel look in her eyes:
"This princess just asked you to bow three times and knock nine times, but I just said casually, I have lived in the palace since I was a child, and I naturally know that such a big gift cannot be used by the emperor and queen, who needs you to be reminded of this little thing, it is really a mouthful, Huanpei will give me a hard slap now, I see how arrogant she is."
When Huan Pei heard this, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's wrist, she is the princess's palace maid, a daughter of a handsome house, where will she put it in her eyes, her identity is precious, and any daughter is not as good as the emperor's daughter.
Therefore, Huan Pei didn't think about it, a sneer flashed on her face, she raised her hand and slapped Xiao Jinxuan's face.
Xiao Jinxuan's temperament is not waiting to be killed, even if this is the palace, what if she is beaten, she will not want to fall on her.
When she saw Xiao Jinxuan, she broke free from her grabbed hand, and then before Huan Pei's slap fell, she pushed the other party to the ground first.
"Oops" screamed, Huanpei was the first to hit the ground, and Xiao Jinxuan used a lot of strength, so her scalp was broken, and the blood immediately flowed to the ground, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were frightened couldn't help but exclaim.
Qingxiang didn't expect that Xiao Jinxuan, a concubine, would dare to be so bold in the palace, knowing that she was a princess, and pushing her people down and injuring her, without taking her in her eyes at all, it was simply unreasonable.
In fact, it is normal for Qingxiang to be so angry, after all, Xiao Jinxuan's identity is too different from her, according to what she originally thought, as long as she speaks, the other party should obediently submit to it, and let her bully and humiliate.
But obviously, Qingxiang really thinks too highly of himself, and at the same time underestimates Xiao Jinxuan too much.
What if she is a princess, don't forget, Huayang is still a princess, and in the end she died in the hands of Xiao Jinxuan, so Qingxiang felt that her identity was precious, but in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, she really didn't take her too seriously.
Ignoring Huanpei's wail, looking at Qingxiang's stunned appearance, Xiao Jinxuan smiled lightly, and said in a slightly cold voice:
"Her Royal Highness the princess may not know, Jinxuan was called by the concubine today, so she entered the palace, if I was slapped by you here, when the face left traces, I want to come to the mother to ask, the princess is not easy to explain, I wanted to tell the princess to listen to this truth, but you, the palace maid, started too fast, did not give me a chance to speak, in desperation, I had to push her away first, if there is any offense, Her Royal Highness the princess must not blame."
Hearing this, Qingxiang almost vomited blood in anger, her head was broken and bleeding now, Xiao Jinxuan looked like she didn't care about herself, and told her not to blame.
This will Qingxiang really can't wait to get started in person, and slap it in the other party's face a few times to relieve his anger.
But the most frustrating thing is that she can only think about this impulse in her heart, she didn't listen to what the other party said, people entered the palace to meet Concubine Liang.
In this palace, except for Empress Xue, who is the mother of the world, she is the most virtuous and respected concubine, so she really doesn't dare to leave a little scar on Xiao Jinxuan's face.
Just when Qing Xiangqi couldn't do it, but Xiao Jinxuan was helpless, suddenly from behind her, a palace concubine with a beautiful appearance and gorgeous and noble clothes came out.
I saw this woman, wearing a three-tailed phoenix hairpin, with a red gold ruby on it, and a bright orange peony pattern palace skirt, Xiao Jinxuan only glanced at it, and confirmed the identity of the person who came out from the other party's dressing, and there was no doubt that she was a concubine.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the concubines of the fourth rank can only use the peacock pattern of the treasure hairpin, and only the third grade of the concubine is worthy of enjoying the phoenix pattern of the hairpin.
However, although the concubine position can be used with phoenix patterns, they can only wear the lowest three-tailed phoenix hairpin, and the fourth concubine who ranks second can enjoy the golden phoenix step shake and wear the five-tailed phoenix hairpin.
On top of these two, that is the queen of the main palace of the first grade, who can wear a golden phoenix crown, and can enjoy the highest grade of the nine-tailed phoenix pattern treasure hairpin.
As long as you are familiar with the palace rules, you don't need to come forward to ask, as long as you look at the other party's dress, you can basically determine what grade of concubine you are.
And when this palace concubine came closer, Xiao Jinxuan looked at the other party, and her face was similar to Qingxiang's, and her heart immediately sank, knowing that this person was coming, I am afraid it must be Concubine Hui's Qian.
This Concubine Hui is Qingxiang's biological mother, and she is also the mother concubine of the sixth prince Zhou Xianqi, and in addition to these two identities, she is also Qian Ming's own sister, behind Huai'an Houfu, the biggest backer in the palace.
Xiao Jinxuan is also very depressed sometimes, she was reborn and returned, the Qian family, who had no intersection in her previous life, rushed to her in this life, and came to her for trouble one after another.
When she was in Yangzhou, she was paired with Qian Yingluo, and after coming to Beijing, she fought to the death with the entire Huai'an Houfu, and now Qian Yunhong finally stopped, and Qian Huifei's mother and daughter came again.
Concubine Hui is a second-grade concubine, her identity is much higher than that of Qingxiang, Xiao Jinxuan can be careless when facing Qingxiang, but the first time she saw Concubine Hui, she moved lightly towards the lotus lake where Xiangping was located.
Are you kidding! That's the harem lady of the third grade, even if Xiao Jinxuan is calm and calm, strategizing, and she has such a huge disparity in status and status, she has no ability to resist except for trying to protect herself.
But she hadn't taken a few steps back, and asked Qingxiang in a low voice After a few words, Concubine Hui had already looked up at her at this time, her peach blossom-like intoxicating eyes burst out with strong hatred in an instant.
"This is Miss Jinxuan, your big name and concubine have heard of it a long time ago, where are you going backwards, come on, don't stop Miss Jinxuan, since meeting is fate, why don't you go to my Heyun Palace with this concubine and sit down."
Concubine Hui's words seemed to be asking Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, but the words revealed that there was an irrefutable meaning in it, and the palace people who immediately accompanied her stopped Xiao Jinxuan and pushed her forward half-forcedly.
Xiao Jinxuan's heart is like a mirror, now this is the imperial garden, Concubine Hui is inconvenient to start, if she is really taken to Heyun Palace, whether she can come out alive is a matter of two words.
Ignoring the two palace maids who pushed her forward, Xiao Jinxuan barely stood still, stabilized her mind and hurriedly said:
"Concubine Hui Niangniang Jin'an, your gracious little girl has received it, but today Jinxuan has already taken the lead and has an appointment with Concubine Liang, as for Heyun Palace, she can't come today, so if there is nothing else, the little girl will retire first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to leave quickly, but the two palace maids behind her stopped her to death, and Concubine Hui also took a few steps forward at this time and grabbed her wrist in one fell swoop.
"You girl, this concubine is kind to invite, but you don't appreciate it at all, in fact, you and I are not strangers, after all, when my Qi'er was in Yangzhou, I was not less taken care of by you, and now he has been deposed to a bitter cold place, as his mother, I naturally want to treat you well for Qi'er."
When Concubine Hui said this, the hatred in her eyes became a little stronger, when she first entered the palace, she relied on her youth and beauty, and she did have to live for a while, but in this harem, she has always only heard the newcomers laugh and did not hear the old people crying.
When a younger woman was elected to the palace, her ** love gradually ceased to exist, and Concubine Hui felt that she was most fortunate to have given birth to Zhou Xianqi, the prince, as long as she waited until the other party was crowned king, she would have relied on her for the rest of her life.
But now, because of Qian Yingluo's death, Zhou Xianqi was wrongfully accused of being a murderer, and he couldn't be crowned king in this life, and he stayed away from her side and went to a poor place to suffer, and it was King Rui and Xiao Jinxuan who did all this.
When Xiao Jinxuan was outside the palace, Concubine Hui couldn't help her, and now that she finally caught the other party in the palace, she naturally refused to miss the opportunity easily.
Therefore, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was not stepping forward no matter what, Concubine Hui immediately snorted coldly, and the thin nails that were buckled on the other party's wrist immediately stabbed Xiao Jinxuan's snow wrist with one force.
Concubine Hui's nails are very well maintained on weekdays, so they are sharp and long, so with a lot of effort on her hands, it didn't take much effort to cut through Xiao Jinxuan's skin, a little blood, and even along her nails, gradually seeping out of the broken skin.
