Chapter 502: Honest Talk
Seeing that Chunxi not only slapped his mouth, but also made his cheeks red and swollen, which would knock down dozens of heads in a row, and his forehead was also a blur of flesh and blood.
But since she was reborn, Xiao Jinxuan, who has a cold temperament, has witnessed the death of too many concubines in the harem in the past few months.
Therefore, her heart is becoming more and more hard as a rock, even if Chunxi will look really pitiful and miserable.
But when she thought of the other party's mean face just now, Xiao Jinxuan would not waste her sympathy on this kind of slave.
And after this Empress Chen, she really can't continue to stay outside the main gate of Zhaoyang Palace, after all, Chunxi's slaps in her face one by one are no different from slapping her in the face.
Therefore, he didn't have to wait for Xiao Jinxuan to greet him in person, and Empress Chen not only took the initiative to enter Zhaoyang Palace, but also walked quickly in front of Xiao Jinxuan, and then said in a rather dissatisfied tone:
Now Jinxuan Chunxi has also received the punishment herself, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and even her forehead was broken. After all, she is a person from my Yanqing Palace, and for my sake, this matter will be over. After going back, the mourning family will definitely reprimand this girl who doesn't understand the rules, so Chunxi, you should get up. ”
Hearing Empress Chen's words, Chunxi, who was kneeling on the ground, really felt like she had been reborn, and she was immediately so frightened that she was about to collapse on the ground, and she was busy thanking her and wanted to get up.
But almost before she was about to get up, Zhu Xin, who silently followed Xiao Jinxuan's side and never spoke, immediately stepped forward and slapped Chunxi to the ground.
Zhu Xin's move was unexpected by everyone, but Xiao Jinxuan glanced at the other party in surprise from the corner of her eye, but she didn't say anything, just continued to stand calmly.
But after Empress Chen on the side was stunned for a while, she immediately glared at Zhu Xin angrily, and then asked angrily:
"The people in my Yanqing Palace are just talking inappropriately, Jinxuan, you still use the palace rules as an excuse, and you don't follow until now. Now the mourning family has been exempted from the guilt of Chunxi, but your personal servant girl has knocked people to the ground with their palms. In the eyes of the people of Zhaoyang Palace, is there still me, the Queen Mother of the West Palace, are you going to go against the sky. ”
In the face of Empress Chen's stern reprimand, following Xiao Jinxuan's side, after a long time, Zhuxin, who is now extremely capable, came to the front of the Queen Mother of the West Palace.
After greeting the other party in a regular manner, Zhu Xin immediately said without humility or arrogance:
"The slave maid has a humble status, and I am fortunate to follow my master, and I have entered the harem in the past few months, and there are not a few people who have been directly executed by the slave and maid personally to implement the palace rules because of rebellion. Therefore, the slave knows one thing very well, and the person who is now in charge of the harem is my master Xiao Jinxuan. Although the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, in the matter of punishing the palace maid, my master did not say a word to tell Chunxi to get up, that is, how noble your identity is, and there is no right to exonerate the maid who has violated the palace rules in advance. After all, if the Queen Mother said a word, she could ignore the rules established in the harem for more than 100 years. Then you will inevitably end up with a reputation as a dictator and tyranny, and you will be criticized by the harem. Therefore, Zhu Xinshi had to slap Chunxi's mouth for the sake of the reputation of the Queen Mother, and asked the other party to abide by the rules and continue to kneel there. The slave maid was dedicated to the sake of the Queen Mother, but she would never dare to ask for anything, after all, this is all Zhuxin's duty. ”
After Xiao Jinxuan heard Zhu Xin's words, Rao is she has always been happy and angry, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.
The person who beat Empress Chen, but said righteously that it was all for the good of the other party, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, feeling that the bamboo heart that has always been straight and angry is really quite a set.
However, compared to Xiao Jinxuan, who couldn't stop laughing, Empress Chen only felt that her lungs were about to explode.
It's also thanks to her that when she was a good concubine, she endured it, so even if her heart was so angry that she kept fluctuating, she still endured it with a stiff smile in the end.
"What a bamboo heart, it is worthy of being a person trained by Jinxuan, that is, he understands the rules better than the people in my Yanqing Palace. However, since the mourning family is the queen mother, she has no right to decide whether a servant girl will live or die. The mourning family can still return to their own dormitory, and it is better to stay here to make jokes. ”
In fact, Empress Dowager Chen really liked Xiao Jinxuan very much before, and in her heart, she didn't want to make the relationship too stiff with the other party.
However, in Xiangping, he continued to whisper in Empress Chen's ear, and the conflict of interests of the harem power became increasingly serious.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan's original wisdom and resourcefulness in the eyes of the other party, and her excellent mind have now become the most jealous and disgusting place for Chen Hu.
And Empress Chen, who was almost admonished by her son in the imperial study, felt even more humiliated when she saw Xiao Jinxuan.
Under the anger and urgency, Empress Chen couldn't help but be so angry that she coughed again and again, and even walked towards the outside of Zhaoyang Palace, obviously looking faceless and continuing to stay.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinxuan, who was indeed aroused by Chunxi's rude and provocative actions, looked at Empress Chen's extremely lonely and depressed back.
Thinking of the other party's care for her in the past, Xiao Jinxuan, who was already cold on the outside and hot on the inside, couldn't help but be a little unbearable, so she immediately stopped Chen Hou's way.
The rules were in order, and there was no trace of slackness, so Xiao Jinxuan saluted to Empress Chen.
Then she couldn't help but smile slightly, stepped forward and took the initiative to support the other party and said gently:
"The Queen Mother can come to my Zhaoyang Palace, Jinxuan feels full of brilliance here. In fact, although Zhuxin said it well, although I am in charge of the harem, Niangniang is the emperor's biological mother. Since you have opened your mouth, how Chunxi will be punished is naturally left to the Queen Mother's decision, no matter what the result is, Jinxuan is happy and convinced. ”
Xiao Jinxuan handed over the steps, Chen Hou was not an unreasonable person, and immediately she also felt that she was indeed a little too much.
In fact, the most fundamental reason why Empress Chen would target Xiao Jinxuan like this was that she listened to Xiangping's words in her heart, so she had a problem with the other party.
Now seeing that Xiao Jinxuan is still extremely obedient to her, so the anger in her heart is smooth, and Empress Chen's face can't help but soften, and immediately said with a hint of a smile:
"The mourning family has only gone to see the emperor today, and I want to come and see you kid by the way. As a result, it was all disturbed by Chunxi's reckless girl, and we were not in a good mood with each other. Since Jinxuan, you are also willing to hand over the person to the mourning family for disposal, when I bring the person back, I will definitely teach this girl a long lesson, and I will not make her behave as recklessly as a suitable person. ”
Aunt Xiangyun, who always felt that Empress Chen, should have had a good relationship with Xiao Jinxuan, saw that her master had a smile on her face, and immediately she couldn't help but smile and said:
"Concubine Xiao, in fact, the Empress Dowager Xi always talks to the slave maid about your good. And now that the harem is stable, the Queen Mother also said, all this is your credit, she knows better than anyone else that Concubine Xiao's mother is not easy. Therefore, Concubine Xiao Niangniang will often go to Yanqing Palace to walk around in the future, and the slave can still remember your preferences, and then she will definitely ask someone to prepare a banquet and wait for the arrival of Niangniang. ”
With Aunt Xiangyun's constant reconciliation in the middle, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and Xiao Jinxuan immediately led Empress Chen into the dormitory with a smile.
After the two of them sat down one after another, and all the refreshments were prepared, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but leave Wen Xin alone, and then retreated from the rest of the people who were waiting.
Seeing that only Aunt Xiangyun was left to serve on Hou Chen's side, and there was no one around, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but stand up immediately, and bowed to Queen Chen from afar.
This sudden bow bow made Empress Chen look at it, in the end, she didn't really hate Xiao Jinxuan very much.
Therefore, I saw that Empress Chen also stood up the next moment, and personally helped Xiao Jinxuan up, and then a trace of sincere worry flashed in his eyes, and asked anxiously:
"Jinxuan, what do you do when you kneel down for this child, if it's because of the happy thing of the right spring, the mourning family knows that everyone will be annoyed by this matter, and the slave and maid themselves are out of order, if you are not happy, the mourning family will also hand over people to you to deal with, but the matter of kowtowing and kneeling can never be helped."
Regarding Xiao Jinxuan's sacrifice for Zhou Xianrui and her contribution to the royal family, in fact, Empress Chen has always been very clear in her heart and has not forgotten this kindness.
So don't look at her in the next day, how dissatisfied with Xiao Jinxuan is in charge of the six palaces, and she is like an ornament as the emperor's biological mother.
But seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was wronged, especially when she knelt on the ground, Empress Chen's anger disappeared at once, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed about the other party.
And after Xiao Jinxuan was pulled up, she couldn't help but hold Empress Chen's hand, looked at the other party's eyes, and said with a very sincere and serious expression:
"Niangniang, in fact, what are you worried about, even if you haven't said it explicitly, Jinxuan has guessed it by heart. But please believe me, the reason why Jinxuan is still in the palace now is only because Empress Xue has not been removed, and Yuyan's pregnancy has directly affected Sister Shen's unstable phoenix position three years later. As for monopolizing power, in fact, Jinxuan is not keen on this. When the dust settles, as long as the mother promises me and Xianyu to leave quietly, that is the greatest grace to me, and I will not be nostalgic for the rest of the things at all. ”
The fear in my heart and the careful vigilance were said so bluntly by Xiao Jinxuan.
Now that Empress Chen remembered the small actions that she had made behind her back and deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she was indeed a little embarrassed.
But seeing that everything was said, even if Empress Chen felt that he couldn't go, he still told all the things he was worried about, and he didn't hide everything:
"Jinxuan, since you already understand what the mourning family is uneasy about, then please also understand my feelings. After all, the mourning family has been in the harem all their lives, and they have seen all the trends in the flames, and they are deceitful. Therefore, I am really worried that if you have been in power for a long time, you will become the second Empress Xue later. You kid is too smart, even in my eyes, you are still above Empress Xue, once you are unwilling to let go of power, I am afraid that even the emperor Xianrui will be helpless against you. ”
