Chapter 511: Warm and small gathering
Originally, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan not only had to deal with Empress Xue in the harem, but now she was suppressed and excluded by Empress Chen, and the situation was too difficult.
Therefore, Zhou Xianyu, who was very distressed, was because Empress Chen had the grace to raise him.
He really couldn't do anything to this adoptive mother, so he wanted to persuade Xiao Jinxuan to leave the harem first.
When he assisted Zhou Xianrui on his side to stabilize the throne and the court situation stabilized, Zhou Xianyu would leave immediately, but his proposal was rejected by Xiao Jinxuan.
And looking at Xiao Jinxuan's eyes full of firmness and extremely serious words, if you want to advance and retreat with him, you will never leave first.
Zhou Xianyu's heart only felt warm, and he felt that it was the greatest blessing in his life to find a partner with a bold and tenacious personality like Xiao Jinxuan and to stay with him in this life.
clearly understands Xiao Jinxuan's character, and belongs to the kind of person who will rarely be persuaded when he makes a decision.
Therefore, during the rare time when the two of them could be alone, Zhou Xianyu immediately stopped talking about those topics that were boring and boring.
On the contrary, he was a little clumsy while helping Xiao Jinxuan rub his temples, while telling recent anecdotes about the court and outside the palace, helping the other party relieve the pressure.
Zhou Xianyu has never served anyone since he was born, but he can see that Xiao Jinxuan will squint his eyes slightly as comfortably as a kitten under his kneading and massage, and will hum comfortably twice from time to time.
Zhou Xianyu, who was immediately encouraged, not only helped Xiao Jinxuan press her shoulders more seriously and gently, but also chatted with each other and said:
"Jinxuan, half a year has passed since the tuanzi, and this little guy has grown up completely. Originally, I wanted to ask the group to return to the mountains and forests and live the life that should belong to it. But this fat dun seems to have lived with people for too long, not only can he understand human language better, but he also likes to stay in the barracks, and he doesn't want to be a normal bamboo bear anymore. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who hasn't seen a dumpling for a long time, was taken care of by her side because the other party was a child, so in her eyes, there was no difference between a dumpling and a child.
Therefore, when she heard that Tuanzi was unwilling to return to the mountains and forests, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but immediately ask worriedly:
"Because I am in the capital division, the group is really not suitable to stay by my side, so the other party can be said to be brought up by you. Now that it doesn't want to go back, to be honest, I can't bear to see the dumplings in the future. You have the best of both worlds, so that the group can continue to follow you, but also not make the other party rely too much on us. And in the end, he will be reduced to a domestic animal with no ability to protect himself, after all, if the little guy loses his wildness completely, it is not what I want to see. ”
As the overlord of the bamboo forest, if you say that in the end, you are like a domestic puppy and kitten, you only know how to stick to people, and you lose your nature as a beast.
That Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but think of the other party's mother, the dying female bamboo bear, who looked at Tuanzi's worried eyes before she died. She will feel that she has failed the other party and has not taken good care of the group.
Seeing the worry about the group in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but immediately tell the method he had thought of in his heart.
"Jinxuan, in fact, I have also considered your worries, so since Tuanzi is no longer inseparable from people, I am even more reluctant to return to the mountains alone. If you agree, I want to train the other party to be a war beast, and in the future, I will be my war pet to fight with me. ”
Xiao Jinxuan is well-read, and she naturally knows what the so-called war pet represents.
Among the hundreds of kingdoms, there have always been generals who specialize in domesticating fierce beasts and then driving the other side to fight against the enemy.
As a brave warrior beast that assisted the Yellow Emperor against Chiyou in ancient times, it is natural for the bamboo bear to become a war pet.
But thinking of the bloodshed and cruelty of the battlefield, Xiao Jinxuan, who had long regarded the group as a relative, couldn't help but be a little hesitant.
Zhou Xianyu, who took in Xiao Jinxuan's uneasiness, but felt that his idea was quite feasible, couldn't help but say comfortingly:
"Jinxuan, I know that you have always cherished the dumplings. But the little one does not want to return to the mountains and forests, and I can indeed place him in the barracks for the rest of his life, and supply him with endless bamboo shoots, so that he will not suffer any harm. But Bamboo Bear has always been smart and spiritual, and it is called Tuanzi to go through his life in such a mess, Xuan'er, I think this is definitely not what you want to see. And the reason why I deliberately called it a war beast was because I found that the regiment was extremely interested in the soldiers fighting each other and practicing on weekdays. After all, it is a beast of the bamboo forest, and it has a bloodthirsty and warlike side no matter how honest and cute it is on weekdays. Becoming a war beast is not necessarily a bad thing for the group, after all, Lord Jinxuan has led the troops for many years, and this point will not be taken away. ”
Although Zhou Xianyu is only twenty-two years old now, his attainments in the keen decision-making of war are extremely high.
Since the other party felt that Tuanzi was suitable to become a war beast fighting on the battlefield, Xiao Jinxuan was still worried, but she still nodded, and decided to trust Zhou Xianyu's decision unconditionally.
After the matter of the dumplings was decided, the carriage immediately drove to the foot of the imperial city, and after seeing that they were gathering with each other, they had to separate again.
Immediately, Zhou Xianyu was quite reluctant to hold Xiao Jinxuan in his arms, and he was unwilling to let the other party leave for a long time, and muttered in a sullen voice:
"Jinxuan, you have to remember that it is inconvenient for me to enter the palace at any time, but you have a token from the imperial brother in your hand, and you can enter and leave the palace freely at any time. You have to give me more opportunities to see you outside the palace alone, if you are so busy that you always ignore me, believe it or not, you dare to climb the walls of this forbidden palace, and then you have to visit Zhaoyang Palace at night to catch you, and you must solve the pain of lovesickness. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who was quite helpless about Zhou Xianyu, didn't want the other party to act arbitrarily, and then he would cause trouble.
Therefore, she nodded hurriedly and promised that she would leave the palace in the future and find an opportunity to get together with each other.
Xiao Jinxuan is just introverted, and rarely reveals her thoughts.
In fact, it's not just Zhou Xianyu who is reluctant, Xiao Jinxuan **** is in the harem, and there is no day when she doesn't miss and worry about the other party.
After being satisfied and getting Xiao Jinxuan's promise, he saw that the West Bird Gate of the palace was close at hand.
Zhou Xianyu, who also knew that he couldn't stay in the carriage, otherwise he would get into trouble, jumped out of the carriage and separated from Xiao Jinxuan first.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who will still stay in the carriage alone, smells the smell of golden orchids that have not yet dispersed around her, and her heart can't help but feel a little empty.
The warm moment between Shicai and Zhou Xianyu really filled her with nostalgia and reluctance.
Just when Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help it, there was a chuckle on the corner of her mouth, thinking about Zhou Xianyu's clumsy massage and rubbing her shoulders just now. When I can't help but feel a burst of sweetness in my heart.
Suddenly, the car door was pushed open, and then Wen Xin said with a little worry in his tone:
"Jinxuan, look at the person who greeted us from the Xique Gate, it seems to be Concubine Shen. The carriage is no longer allowed to move forward here, so I will help you to dismount immediately, so I can go and ask the other party what is the matter, and I will guard you at the palace gate to come back. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who was immersed in her tender thoughts, was actually a little distracted, but now she has turned her keen reaction into an instinct.
As soon as Wen Xin's words were finished, Xiao Jinxuan not only immediately looked at Shen Wenqing who rushed over, but also immediately got out of the carriage without delay.
The tenderness and warmth in her heart fell, and Xiao Jinxuan, who obviously felt that something might have happened in the palace, immediately walked quickly towards Shen Wenqing.
And Shen Wenqing, who was watching this, couldn't care about being dignified, so he trotted forward and grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's hand, and then immediately said with a slight breath:
"Jinxuan, you can be regarded as back, I can't help but go to the Shuai Mansion to find you, and now that you come back, my heart has finally let go."
Xiao Jinxuan was reluctant to let go of the power of the Sixth Palace, no matter how much she explained, in the eyes of outsiders, she would think that she was just an excuse.
But just like Shen Wenqing now, the other party is the one who will become the queen in the future, but he said a few words in a row, but none of them were on point.
As a result, Xiao Jinxuan listened to it for a long time, except for being in a hurry, she didn't even know what the other party wanted to express.
With Shen Wenqing's ability to handle things, when the harem is stable, the other party may be a virtuous and generous queen.
But in today's turbulent environment of the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace, if Xiao Jinxuan is not on the side to control the overall situation, it is only a matter of time before the other party is suppressed and crushed by the treacherous and cunning Empress Xue.
So seeing that Shen Wenqing was obviously panicked, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but comfort the other party while guessingly asking:
"Sister Shen, don't worry, since I'm back, I won't turn this harem upside down. You are looking for me in such a hurry, according to my sister, it must be related to Empress Xue. ”
Shen Wenqing, who was also out of breath and relieved a lot by Xiao Jinxuan's guidance like this, immediately couldn't help nodding again and again, and immediately said:
"My sister expected it to be good, not long after you left the palace today and rushed to the Shuai Mansion for the funeral, Fujiwara Xiu, the monarch of the Yeying Kingdom, was announced into Fengxiang Palace by Empress Xue on the grounds of offering the secret recipe for coral conservation. Although the queen mother and I also did something to stop it, but the Xue family is now the queen mother of the East Palace, she closed the palace door and did not see us, even if the queen mother was the queen mother of the West Palace, she was helpless against the other party. I always feel that Fujiwara Xiu's intention is by no means simple, Jinxuan, you can't let the other party walk too close. ”
In fact, where is the need for Shen Wenqing to remind him more, after Zhou Xianyu's 30,000 troops were ambushed by Yeying last time.
Xiao Jinxuan noticed that Xue Hou, who had arranged all this in the shadows, must have some kind of close connection with Yeying Kingdom.
Maybe in Shen Wenqing's eyes, he just unilaterally noticed that something was wrong, but Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been thoughtful, will think even more far-reaching.
After all, Fujiwara Xiu didn't enter the palace early or late, but as soon as she left for the Shuai Mansion to pay for her filial piety, the other party ran to offer a secret recipe to Empress Xue.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who was already extremely wary of Empress Xue and Ye Ying's contact, felt that the other party's entry into the palace this time was by no means simple.
After hurriedly comforting Shen Wenqing a few words, Xiao Jinxuan told Wen Xin to return to Zhaoyang Palace immediately to change clothes, and then went straight to Fengxiang Palace to find out.
After all, she is now dressed in plain clothes, and she must change into a palace dress and skirt to go to meet Empress Xue, after all, if she wants to restrain others, first of all, she can't be criticized by others.
And no matter how serious the situation is, Xiao Jinxuan knows the importance of staying calm.
Like Shen Wenqing, he didn't deal with Xue Hou, so he panicked first.
The other party's anxious and uneasy look, trying to convince people and be in awe is simply a fool's dream, and Xiao Jinxuan naturally will not make this kind of mistake.
