As soon as Empress Xue finished saying this, Concubine Hui was so shocked that she forgot to get up, just knelt on the ground, looked at each other in a daze, and finally Qingxiang was behind her, and gently pushed her, and Concubine Hui came back to her senses.

With a happy face, she quickly stood up, Concubine Hui's excited heart was pounding, you must know that in this harem, the queen's power is even greater than that of Emperor Ming.

Now this queen said in person that she is qualified to be the first of the four concubines, and that is a concubine with the same vice-queen, Concubine Hui just doesn't want to be excited, and she can't control her mood.

Seeing that Concubine Hui was already uncontrollable because of her words, the smile on Empress Xue's lips couldn't help but become a little thicker.

The age difference between Empress Xue and Emperor Ming, although there is a difference of eleven years, she can stay in the harem for several years and stand tall, in addition to the high power of her mother's family, she also has a vital relationship with her own good planning and understanding of people's hearts.

In fact, in terms of appearance, compared with the three thousand beauties in the harem, she can only be regarded as dignified.

In terms of Emperor Ming's ** love, she is now over thirty years old, and she has Zhou Xiantai, the second prince, and those beautiful concubines who have never given birth are also incomparable.

But in this harem, no matter how many concubines there are, they don't dare to despise Xue Hou, and even after seeing each other, they will be like Concubine Hui, panicked and cautiously accompanied.

Because of this Empress Xue, the backstage is too hard, except for the Xiao family in this big week, no one can compete with Xue Xiangfu.

In addition, this queen also vigorously supports her connections in the harem, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this harem is covered by Empress Xue with one hand.

And this is also the reason why Concubine Hui is excited, because as long as Empress Xue says that she can become a virtuous concubine, then this position will basically fall on her and she will not be able to run away.

So when Concubine Hui saw Xue Hou, she didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled to herself, and immediately understood in her heart, and immediately knelt down in front of the other party again.

"Queen Niangniang, to say a big disrespectful word, Concubine Chen, is just a woman from a small family, and I and other women from aristocratic families, how can we talk on the same day, but now the position of the four concubines is vacant, Niangniang, under your phoenix position, the most noble is the concubine, this is simply the shame of my Zhou nobles, if the queen is willing to help the concubines, then the concubines will be reciprocated in the future, only the life of the concubines is obeyed."

After hearing with satisfaction what she wanted to hear, Empress Xue, who was silent with a smile, reached out to help Concubine Hui up, and then said in a condensed voice:

"Sister's intentions, the queen now knows everything, if you are free tonight, Concubine Hui will come to my Fengxiang Palace, there are some things that the queen thinks you should have the right to know."

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Xue took her eyes off Concubine Hui's body, looked at the direction of Concubine Liang's departure with deep eyes, and smiled slightly with deep meaning.

And Concubine Liang and the others, who had already left the Imperial Garden and returned to Yanqing Palace, would naturally not know that after they and the others left, Concubine Hui and Empress Xue met.

Especially Xiao Jinxuan, she can't take care of other things, because she is busy accompanying her, smiling and coaxing Xiangping to calm down.

On the way back from the Imperial Garden, Xiangping was silent, keeping her head down and just walking, because she was still angry about Xiao Jinxuan's refusal to tell the truth just now.

After arriving at Yanqing Palace, Xiao Jinxuan was still coaxing, Xiangping was not a calm person, and not speaking all the way was already her limit, so she immediately complained and said:

"Jinxuan, I'm not angry with you, I'm sorry for you, and I can't figure it out, it's obvious that Concubine Hui is at fault first, why do you have to hide it for her, looking at her smug appearance, I don't feel happy."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled helplessly, but she knew that Xiangping would be angry like this now, and she was all worried about her, so she was immediately moved in her heart, and continued to persuade patiently:

"Xiangping, you're right, my wrist was indeed injured by Concubine Hui, but even everyone present knows that this is a thing, but so what, do you think that for a lady like me who has no command, Concubine Hui will really be punished? Obviously, the answer is no. ”

Hearing this, Xiangping said unconvinced: "Why won't you punish her, my mother is above her, and she has the authority to assist the harem, as long as you identify Concubine Hui at that time, your mother can call the shots for you." ”

Shaking her head and laughing softly, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Concubine Liang, who was busy preparing pastries, to the side, and then said in a calm voice:

"Concubine Liang Niangniang is kind and virtuous, I believe she will give me the master, but Xiangping have you ever thought about it, if today's Niangniang punished Concubine Hui in public for me, my justice will naturally be recovered, but Concubine Liang Niangniang will be criticized, after all, my status is too low, people who know will say that Niangniang is presiding justice, and those who don't know will only say Niangniang, it is through my excuse to bully and suppress other concubines, it was originally just a trivial matter, but it will turn into a harem battle, and the consequences will be much more serious than this injury on my wrist."

Hearing this, the anger on Xiangping's face had already disappeared, she was so angry just now, because she thought that Xiao Jinxuan was afraid of Concubine Hui, so she tolerated it everywhere, which she couldn't accept.

After all, after getting acquainted with Xiao Jinxuan in Guanyin Academy, Xiangping was deeply impressed by the other party's intelligence, calmness, and planning, and had a little admiration in his heart.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan, who had always admired, was suddenly so weak, Xiangping was indignant, sad and disappointed.

But Xiangping is not a stupid person, when Xiao Jinxuan explained the truth to her clearly, the image of the other party rose several heights in her eyes in an instant.

And Concubine Liang, who was arranging the refreshments by herself, seemed to be busy, but in fact, all her thoughts were on Xiao Jinxuan's body.

Therefore, even if Xiao Jinxuan's voice is not big, Concubine Liang still doesn't say a word, and when she hears it, she immediately nods with a satisfied smile, feeling that Zhou Xianyu's vision is good, this handsome daughter is indeed a rare smart woman.

After the snacks were served, Concubine Liang said kindly:

"You two girls, don't stand there and talk about yourself, you came to the palace so early, eat something quickly, you're hungry."

After the misunderstanding with Xiao Jinxuan was eliminated, Xiangping heard this, immediately pulled up the other party with a smile, and walked to the tea table where Concubine Liang was sitting.

But it didn't matter if she pulled Xiao Jinxuan's hand, but she pulled the wound on the other party's wrist, and immediately Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but gasp in pain, and her brows couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Concubine Liang hurriedly walked over, glanced at Xiangping helplessly, and held Xiao Jinxuan's wrist with pity.

"Xiangping has always been reckless, I want to make trouble for you Jinxuan, now I summoned you into the palace, but you were injured, if Yu'er knows, you have to blame me to death."

When Concubine Liang said the first half of the sentence, Xiao Jinxuan could still smile lightly, but when she heard Zhou Xianyu being mentioned, she was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said respectfully:

"Niangniang, thanks to the eighth princess for not giving up, she is willing to fellowship with me, this is Jinxuan's blessing. As for Concubine Hui will make things difficult with me, this is also caused by my own discord with the Qian family for a long time, how can I complain about Niangniang, and His Royal Highness, I am just a shallow friend with him, what you said just now, Shu Jinxuan didn't understand. ”

Hearing this, looking at Xiao Jinxuan's calm appearance, if Concubine Liang hadn't learned from Zhou Xianrui that the other party and Zhou Xianyu had a deep relationship, she would have been fooled by the other party's calmness.

Instructed the palace maid to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for some medicine to relieve pain and scars, and Concubine Liang turned to Xiao Jinxuan and said:

"Actually, you don't have to hide it from this palace, the matter between you and Yu'er, Xianrui has already told me, Qingge's matter, I did it improperly, but I made a mistake about you, but Jinxuan, don't worry, everything is in charge of this palace, and you will not be called **, it is difficult to become a dependent."

was helped by Concubine Liang to sit down, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at the other party puzzled, and was silent for a while before she whispered:

"Niangniang, forgive me for being offensive, Miss Gu is your niece, now that she can marry into the royal family and become a princess, you should be happy to see her become a talent, why do you still have a way to stop it, aren't you afraid that Miss Gu will complain about your aunt after she finds out?"

Xiangping sat on the side, Xiao Jinxuan was so heartbroken that she fainted for Zhou Xianyu, she was very clear, so when she saw that her mother was willing to help, she immediately felt happy, but after hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, her expression was lonely again.

Because she suddenly thought of how her cousin was embarrassed for Xiao Jinxuan when she was in the Gu Mansion, but now Xiao Jinxuan not only complained, but also considered the pros and cons for the other party on a case-by-case basis.

When Concubine Liang heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Xiao Jinxuan's calm expression, she sighed and said slowly:

"Miss Jinxuan is right, Qingge is indeed the niece of this palace, she can marry the royal family, and I am happy for her. But in addition to being Qingge's aunt, this palace is also the mother of Yu'er, this child has suffered enough, although he is cynical on his face, but there are very few people who can really enter his heart. Over the years, the palace has never forced him to marry, and I hope he can find the woman he likes, and now my son can be regarded as a wish, as a mother, he naturally has to try his best to help, and he will never let him regret it for life. ”

Xiao Jinxuan said to her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, Concubine Liang was not Zhou Xianyu's biological mother, she had known this for a long time, but she really didn't expect that the relationship between Concubine Liang and Zhou Xianyu was such a mother-son relationship, which moved her at the same time, she couldn't help but be slightly envious.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was listening to herself carefully, Concubine Liang took her hand, and continued with kindness in her eyebrows:

"Calling you into the palace today, in fact, there is nothing else, I just want to see the woman Yu'er likes, what kind of character is it, and now that I have seen you, this palace is also relieved. As for your refusal to show the royal and protect him, I also know everything, but as his mother, I want to ask Jinxuan to you, from now on, don't refuse Yu'er and thousands of miles away, this child is not as strong as you think, his heart is very fragile, and he can't withstand the slightest injury. ”
