Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 141

Waking up early the next morning, the palace servants exclaimed, and Xie Jinhua realized that the circles around his eyes were dark.

Her skin is delicate and fair, like snow jade, the same dark circles under the eyes are inconspicuous on other people's faces, but they are extremely conspicuous on her face.

Xie Jinhua looked at herself in the mirror who couldn't hide her haggard look, and couldn't help sighing, whether she puts a person in her heart completely, or believes in Qin Zheng's ability, whether she can't sleep or can't sleep.

Asking the palace servants to bring pearl powder, Xie Jinhua carefully dusted the fine powder under his eyes, and finally covered up the blackness around his eyes.

The safest way to stay in the palace is to remain unchanged.

Especially Qin Zheng secretly visited her last night.

Xie Jinhua looked at the newly radiant face in the mirror, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"County Lord, are you still going to Qiumomo to learn the rules today?"

The palace man was amazed by Xie Jin's smile, lowered his eyes, and asked softly.

Yesterday, Qiu Memo praised Xie Jinhua's rules and standards, and also said that Xie Jinhua can take a little rest today.

The palace people thought that Xie Jinhua didn't sleep well last night, so it would be good to have a day off today.

"My maidservant has seen the county lord. His Royal Highness the eldest princess said that a new batch of koi has been sent from the Taiye Pond in the palace. They are extremely precious and beautiful. Please come and reward the county lord."

Xie Jinhua hadn't decided whether to take a rest today, an unfamiliar palace man hurried in outside, bowed his knees, and said to Xie Jinhua whose back was facing the door.

Xie Jinhua raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have to learn the rules with Qiu Momo later, I'm afraid I can't pass now."

There is obviously something wrong with Princess Yuan'an. Although I really want to find out some news, especially the news of the eldest princess consort, I just thought that Qin Zheng took the risk of entering the palace to meet her, just wanting her to be safe. Xie Jin's words became reject.

"His Royal Highness the eldest princess also invited several concubines, princesses and princesses, and the empress also agreed to let the people in the palace go to have fun together."

The palace servant seemed to have expected that Xie Jinhua would refuse first, and replied calmly.

Xie Jinhua looked at the fuzzy palace man behind him from the bronze mirror, his brows and eyes bent: "Since the empress has also agreed, go back to the eldest princess, I will be there in a while."

It seems that the eldest princess still insists on her going today.

Xie Jinhua did not refuse again.

-

When Xie Jinhua followed the palace servants sent by the eldest princess to Taiye Lake, he saw women in twos and threes scattered by the Taiye Lake from a distance.

There was a cool breeze blowing a fragrant wind.

Princess Yuan An was talking to someone, but when she saw Xie Jinhua from a distance, she turned to Xie Jinhua.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Xie Jinhua salutes.

"Er Niang is here, I thought you wouldn't come."

Princess Yuan'an didn't wait until Xie Jinhua's ceremony was over, so she took Xie Jinhua's hand affectionately.

Her hands are quite strong, Xie Jinhua can't break free without using all his strength.

But on this occasion, Xie Jinhua will not break free.

Xie Jinhua and Princess Yuan'an got close, and found that although the other party's complexion looked good, it was actually covered up by makeup, and there was indeed something wrong.

Princess Yuan'an dragged Xie Jinhua all the way to the pavilion by the Taiye Pond before stopping: "Er Niang, look, today's batch of koi were specially found from the south, and they traveled a long distance. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to find it. It’s a pity that the water and soil did not match, and many died. Fortunately, there are still these koi, and I don’t know how long they can live.”

Princess Yuan'an seems to be simply talking about koi.

But in Xie Jinhua's ears, there was something in the words.

"Elder Sister, what are you talking about? It is also a blessing that this batch of koi can fall into the Taiye Pond in the palace. Those who died early are just not blessed, so there is no need for a special sigh."

Then a voice sounded, Xie Jinhua turned his head, and after thinking for a while, he recognized the identity of the other party. Princess Cheng'an, the sixth princess of the emperor, was born by Concubine Rong in the palace, but Concubine Rong died young. of.

Compared with Princess Yuan'an's favor and pride, and Princess Yong'an's domineering, this princess' behavior is somewhat unpredictable.

She has never appeared in the court and the opposition very much, but she likes to provoke, especially likes to satirize several princes and princesses. Such a temperament is the easiest to offend people.

"Chengan, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Princess Yuan'an looked at Princess Cheng'an coldly, with no concealment of disgust in her eyes.

Princess Cheng'an sneered, walked slowly to Xie Jinhua's side, and pressed her lips lightly with her fingers: "In this world, if you really tell the truth, you will be hated by others, but I just like to tell the truth, what can you do?" So, can you pull out my tongue?"

Princess Cheng'an is hostile to Princess Yuan'an.

Xie Jinhua made this judgment instantly.

"Cheng'an, don't forget, I'm still your elder sister."

Princess Yuan'an's voice was like ice.

"In the past, maybe I would have avoided you, but now, the elder sister is almost in danger, so don't use my status to suppress me, a poor little sister."

Princess Cheng'an suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Xie Jinhua's hand from Princess Yuan'an's: "Is the second mother of the Xie family right? I've heard of you, and I like your temperament. Let's go, let's talk."

If eyes can kill, Princess Cheng'an has already been pierced dozens of holes by Princess Yuan'an's eye knife.

Xie Jinhua gave Princess Yuan'an a look of resignation, and was dragged aside by Princess Cheng'an.

Obviously, compared with Princess Yuan'an, who is outspoken and likes to say everything, Princess Cheng'an can provide Xie Jinhua with more useful things.

But now, Xie Jinhua could tell that Princess Cheng'an really wanted to tell her something.

"Do you know why I have such an attitude towards Yuan An?"

Princess Cheng'an suddenly spoke.

Xie Jinhua didn't make a sound, Princess Cheng'an obviously just wanted to say something at the moment.

"She looks proud, but for a man, she has long forgotten her name. For her son-in-law, not to mention you, the second wife of the Xie family, even blood relatives, in her heart, it is okay." Sacrifice. The capital is not peaceful these days, and the emperor wants to clean up the government and the people. I heard that Qin Zheng is the one he values ​​the most, and he has more trust than my brothers."

Princess Chengan's words were filled with a smile of unknown meaning: "If she looks for you again, try to evade as much as possible. If not, then look for me. Although I am not as favored as her, I am still a princess, and I am always a golden branch and jade leaf. She Whatever you want to do, you have to weigh it carefully.”

Princess Cheng'an's voice was extremely low, without looking sideways, as if she was chatting with Xie Jinhua, if she wasn't standing beside her, she would have no idea what she was talking to Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua saw a small sign handed over from Princess Cheng'an's sleeve.

The sign was put away very quickly, but Xie Jinhua could see it clearly, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Qin Zheng said last night that there is a trustworthy person, and it is Princess Cheng'an.

"No matter how well those koi live now, they are not from the Northland after all."

Princess Cheng'an's voice paused, and she turned to the front: "Sister Qi Wang."

She nodded slightly to the person coming in front of her.

"I saw the two of you standing together from a distance, what are you talking about? Jun'er, come, call someone."

Princess Qi looked haggard, but the smile on her face was more kind than before. Qin Xuan was beside her.

Compared with the cheerful and charming before, Qin Xuan at this moment does not have the slightest smile on her face, and her eyes are full of gloom. The little girl makes people feel uncomfortable looking at her.

"Aunt Cheng'an, Second Aunt."

Qin Xuan paused, then called Xie Jinhua and Princess Cheng'an reluctantly in a calm voice, she just nodded without even bending her knees.

Princess Qi frowned her beautiful eyebrows and was about to speak.

Princess Cheng'an glanced at Qin Xuan: "If you don't want to call me, don't call me, you are so unwilling."

Throwing down these words, Princess Cheng'an snorted, let go of Xie Jinhua's hand, turned around and left.

Qin Xuan's eyes became vicious, she bit her lips tightly, waiting for Princess Cheng'an's back to look like she was about to kill someone, full of malice.

"Jun'er."

Princess Qi called Qin Xuan softly, but it sounded like a warning.

Qin Xuan lowered her head, hiding the viciousness in her eyes.

"During this period, Jun'er has suffered a lot of grievances, and her temper has become a little left-handed for a while, Hua'er, don't mind, Jun'er will recover in a few days."

Princess Qi whispered to Xie Jinhua.

Her eyes were full of bitterness, it seemed that because Xie Jinhua was her relative, she no longer concealed the depression in her heart.

"But because of Third Sister?"

Since Princess Qi wanted to talk, Xie Jinhua asked naturally.

"Third sister is favored by the prince. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I will never be able to conceive in the future. The third sister can give birth to the prince's heir, and give birth to the son of our Xie family. In fact, I am happier than anyone else. We are sisters after all. As long as Every day I stay in the palace, I will always protect Sanmei for a day, but Sanmei's recent behavior really puzzles me."

Xie Jinhua looked at Princess Qi.

"The third sister always invites some wives to a banquet these days. Among them is Mrs. Liu, the wife of the commander of the imperial guards. To be honest, I don't care if people in that position are messed with and prone to accidents, but I don't care. My Jun'er is still young. Hua'er, if you have time, please persuade her."

Xie Jinhua blinked his eyes: "If there is a chance, I will naturally persuade you."

Concubine Qi was clearly telling her that King Qi used Xie Jinyao to hook up with the ministers, especially the commander of the imperial guards, with evil intentions.

Xie Jinhua took a look at Princess Qi and Qin Xuan. Prince Qi's recent behavior probably really hurt Princess Qi's heart.

"Eldest Sister is the main concubine who has entered the imperial jade certificate after all. As long as there are no serious mistakes, Eldest Sister's status will not be shaken no matter what."

Xie Jinhua said this to Princess Qi in the end.

If King Qi goes further, according to the current trend, it may not necessarily be the end of Princess Qi's mother and daughter.

But if King Qi is always King Qi, Princess Qi will always be the mistress of Prince Qi's mansion.

Qin Xuan will always be the only legitimate daughter in the mansion.

Princess Qi listened to Xie Jinhua's words, the smile on her lips became more sincere, she took Qin Xuan's hand, and walked to the other side.

Xie Jinhua thought it was a bit funny, the many women by the Taiye Pond said they were admiring the koi, but in fact they all had their own goals.

Even she herself didn't just come to admire the koi.

Princess Yuan'an looked at Xie Jinhua, Princess Cheng'an, and Princess Qi from afar, talking constantly with other people.

Xie Jinhua looked calm and beautiful, as if she was not affected by the wind and rain in the capital. Seeing her like that, Princess Yuan'an slowly clenched her fists.

She gestured to the palace servant beside her, and watched the palace servant walk towards Xie Jinhua, her eyes were full of coldness.

She is grateful to Xie Jinhua for saving her son, and if there is no accident, she will repay Xie Jinhua well.

It's a pity that it's not good for Xie Jinhua to get involved with anyone, but Qin Zheng's most important person.

Qin Zheng was dealing with Ye Jing'an, but for some reason, the son-in-law never killed Qin Zheng.

The son-in-law couldn't make up his mind, so she helped the son-in-law, so that Qin Zheng no longer had the heart to deal with the son-in-law.

With so many people present, Qin Zheng always had to find a few more culprits.

Princess Yuan'an pursed her lips slightly, smiling proudly.

A row of palace servants each carried a plate in their hands and walked along the stone bridge towards the pavilion, just passing by Xie Jinhua's side, a palace attendant sprained his foot and bumped into Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinyao used this trick more than once. Xie Jinhua wanted to laugh, but he kicked his foot and knocked the palace man into the water.

But at the next moment, there was a scream, and the melon and fruit in the hand of a palace servant fell to the ground, and two or three palace servants staggered towards Xie Jinhua.

Taking advantage of the chaos, two arms tightly wrapped around Xie Jinhua's arm, pulling her to jump into the water.

There were several thud thud, like dumpling, including Xie Jinhua, four or five people fell into the pool together.

"Someone fell into the water."

"Hurry up and save people!"

The female family members present are all of high status and cannot be lost. With such a shout, several people who know how to swim jumped into the Taiye pool to save people.

The koi was startled and swam in a directionless direction, with constant ripples and splashes.

"The second mother of the Xie family also fell into the water, someone, come down and save her."

Princess Yuan'an shouted anxiously.

At the same time, there was chaos by the Taiye Pool, and several people who couldn't swim were also brought into the pool, including several clan women.

Various sounds from the shore came to my ears through the water, and I felt a little trance.

Xie Jinhua wanted to float up, one hand at his side grabbed her and led her to the bottom of the pool.

There are also two people standing on both sides of Xie Jinhua, seemingly trying to save Xie Jinhua, but in fact they are blocking the people next to him from coming to save him.

These people not only want her to fall into the water, but also want her life.

Xie Jinhua could already feel the water pouring into his mouth and throat.

She gritted her teeth and reached out to pull out the hairpin from her hair.

With a scream, a wisp of bright red blood emerged, and under Princess Yuan'an's stunned gaze, Xie Jinhua surfaced out of the water, grabbing a palace maid covering his neck with blood staining half of his body with one hand.
