Concubine's true colors

Chapter 14 The Prince Gathered in Yangzhou
The goose-feather-like snow in the sky whirled and fell, and soon the whole world was dyed into a vast expanse of whiteness.
Xiao Jinxuan wore a lilac-purple brocade skirt with low-cut blue silk and light makeup embellishments. She was beautiful but not delicate, elegant and refined, like an orchid in an empty valley, peerless and independent.

She supported her biological mother Yang Shi with her left hand, and her younger brother Wen Yao with her right hand, and the three of them walked slowly towards the several carriages parked outside Zhuangzi.

Before getting into the carriage, Xiao Jinxuan helped Mrs. Yang flick the snow off her clothes, and said with a smile, "Mother, have you brought all your things? After we go back this time, we won't come back again."

Xiao Heng stayed in Meizhuang for half a month, and now he is going back home, and Xiao Jinxuan, mother and daughter, also tidied up and left with everyone.

Yang thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I have brought them all, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse when I go back this time."

Xiao Jinxuan didn't answer, but just glanced aside, Xiao Wenyao with an excited face, it doesn't matter what happens in the future, at least my younger brother will not get sick or die without freezing in this life, that's enough.

After helping Mrs. Yang and her younger brother into the carriage, Xiao Jinxuan was about to get into the warm carriage, but was stopped by someone from behind.

"Miss Xiao Si, please wait." Liu Langzhong, who was left behind to treat Xiao Jinfu, was out of breath and shouted while running.

When the visitor arrived, Xiao Jinxuan asked suspiciously, "Do you have anything to do with me?" She didn't remember any interaction between the two.

Liu Langzhong smiled sincerely, and then said: "Thanks to the young lady who stayed here that day, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself. I have been taking care of the fifth young lady for the past few days, and I don't have time to thank you properly. I heard that you are coming back. The city is already here, so I rushed here.”

Xiao Jinxuan was dumbfounded, she was just doing a little effort that day, unexpectedly the other party kept it in her heart.

In fact, there is a reason why she would support that. In her previous life, when Yao's younger brother was seriously ill, Zhuangzi was blocked by heavy snow. She had escaped from death and escaped, but no doctor was willing to go up the mountain with her, and they were all worried about being frozen to death on the road.

Only Langzhong Liu, when she begged at the door without any hope, the other party agreed happily.

After two days of rolling and crawling on the snowy road with her, she rushed to Zhuangzi covered with frost and snow to treat her brother.

Although Hui Wenyao's life was not saved in the end, this upright and enthusiastic barefoot doctor left a deep impression on her.

So Xiao Jinxuan smiled, and quickly said: "Mr. Liu, you are too polite, but it's just a small matter, and you can't thank me so much."

Looking at the little girl who was following Langzhong Liu with her head bowed and wearing coarse clothes, Xiao Jinxuan recognized that this was Langzhong Liu's daughter.

Because Xiao Jinfu's face was seriously injured, Langzhong Liu was left in the village for a while, and the daughter who was left alone in his family was naturally taken over.

Smiling, she took off a red gold hairpin on her head, and she stepped forward and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

Under the puzzled eyes of the two, she explained softly: "You worked so hard to treat my fifth sister's face. I can't thank you enough. This hairpin should be all my heart."

That's what she said in her mouth, but in fact, she was trying to thank the other party for her righteousness in her previous life. In the past, she didn't even pay for the medicine in the end. This golden hairpin can be regarded as making up for the previous outpatient fee.

Stretching out her hand to catch a piece of pure white snowflakes, Xiao Jinxuan smiled gently, her mood was different, her situation was different, looking at the snow, she seemed to be completely different.

The snowflakes slowly melted on the slender and shiny palms, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Leaning against the guardrail above the tall building, the man in black murmured, "I don't want the snow in Yangzhou to fall so much!" , It is said that Yangzhou is picturesque in March, but I think Yangzhou with snow in October is also unique.”

The person who spoke was none other than the mysterious man who hid in Xiao Jinxuan's carriage that day to avoid the soldiers chasing him.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two men and a woman standing beside him, a handsome man in a brocade blue shirt and a sapphire crown said: "Yes, this man from the capital Along the way, I have never seen such a heavy snow."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the black-robed man snorted and said in a frivolous tone: "No matter how heavy the snow is, can it still block Sixth Brother's filial piety, and traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou to find Concubine Hui?" Birthday, next time your father's birthday is on, shouldn't you go directly to the Western Regions, it's really beyond the reach of us brothers."

The man in blue coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Seventh brother still likes to joke so much, I really don't know your cynical character, future brothers and sisters can live with it."

Unexpectedly, the man in blue had just finished his joke, and the girl standing beside him, wearing pink peony clouds and swallows, suddenly said coquettishly: "If brother Yu still behaves like this after marriage, I won't let him into the room. Let him sleep in the study every day, to see if he dares to talk poorly."

After finishing speaking, he gave the man in black a domineering look, but the obsession and admiration in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

But the man in the black robe curled his lips and said, "Qian Yingluo, I will not enter your room if you invite me to enter your room. Stop being so sentimental."

"Zhou Xianyu!" The girl in pink, her pretty face flushed with anger, called out to the other party angrily, and stepped forward a few steps, with an appearance of refusing to give up.

Among the four, the oldest man who had never spoken to him suddenly said: "Master Yuanning, my seventh younger brother is just joking, can you please go out for a while, the two younger brothers and I have something to talk about."

These words, which were almost like an order to evict guests, did not anger the girl. Instead, she looked at the man in purple robe who was speaking in fear, and then said meekly: "Okay, Your Highness Prince Rui, then Yingluo will go down first."

When the door was closed, the purple-robed man in auspicious cloud-patterned satin raised his bowed head, with a pair of deep eyes, wise and cold.The resolute face, like a sharp knife, exudes a calm and majestic temperament.

If the man called Zhou Xianyu was the beauty that overwhelmed all living beings, then the man called Prince Rui, his handsome face gave people more impressions, but he was upright and courageous, restrained and calm.

There was no one else around, Prince Rui said in a calm voice: "Sixth brother, I don't care what your purpose is for following this time, but the matter of the salt transportation was sent by my father to investigate, if you want to obstruct it, don't Blame me for not thinking about brotherhood."

Looking for a birthday gift for my mother, I found Yangzhou as soon as I found it. This reason can only fool a three-year-old child. To them, who have been struggling in the court for many years, who would believe this nonsense.

The sixth prince remained unchanged on the surface, but he was smiling wryly in his heart. Among all the brothers, he was the fifth brother who frightened him the most.

He believed that if he really made a change, the other party would definitely do what he said and take care of him.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The current emperor of Dazhou has been on the throne for 41 years, the country is named Ming, and Emperor Ming has eleven princes.

His eldest son, who is now the crown prince, is the child of the former empress Shen. He is humble and polite, and has a heart for the common people. He is very loved.And the fifth prince, Zhou Xianrui, admired and supported this elder brother very much, and was the core figure of the princeling party.

But the position of crown prince has been a must for the prince since ancient times, and the second prince, Prince Tai, is the most powerful person to compete with the prince.Because his biological mother is the current queen Xue.

Although the second prince is not the eldest son, he is also a direct son. In addition, Empress Xue was born in the prime minister's mansion and has a strong background, so there is also a group of people who surround Prince Tai and form a prince faction, and the sixth prince Zhou Xianqi is the one who supports the second prince.

This Yangzhou salt transport has always been a golden pot, and Xue's family has intervened in it, and it has long since become the second prince's small treasury, continuously providing him with funds for the regime.

But not long ago, officials in Yangzhou were corrupt and the matter of salt transport being enriched for their own money was brought to court. Emperor Ming was furious and immediately sent Zhou Xianrui to investigate. Now the second prince couldn't sit still, so he immediately sent Zhou Xianqi to follow Coming, the purpose of hitting is to interfere and destroy.

But Zhou Xianqi felt miserable at this moment, even though they were all princes, they were made princes, he was a prince, how could he control his fifth elder brother, Prince Rui.

Besides, there is a seventh younger brother as a helper, Zhou Xianyu, the child who has been named Yuwang since birth and is most favored by Emperor Ming.He never played cards according to common sense, but he didn't dare to reprimand him as his elder brother, otherwise he would be the one who was severely punished by the emperor after returning back.

Zhou Xianyu, who was leaning on the railing, was obviously not interested in the topic between the two imperial brothers, so he put his hand into his sleeve and took out a white silk handkerchief with a light smile.

This silk handkerchief is as white as new, without any wrinkle, obviously it has been kept very carefully. In the lower right corner of this silk handkerchief, there is a bunch of worry-free grass embroidered, and a graceful Chinese character 萱 is embroidered on this little grass. aside.

Hemerocallis, Hemerocallis, isn't the alias for worry-free grass.Thinking of Xiao Jinxuan who was carefully bandaging herself with a handkerchief that day, Zhou Xianyu's smile deepened a bit.

Woman, what are you doing now, but just like me, you are admiring the flying snow all over the sky.

But then, Zhou Xianyu shook his head self-consciously, and said to you, who is such a ruthless woman, who might be taking the knife again, it would be great if I could see you now.

Zhou Xianyu was a little lost in thought, and looked aimlessly at the street below the restaurant. Because of the heavy snow, the street was empty and there was no one there, but in an instant he sat up abruptly, staring at it with surprise, and slowly walked out of the restaurant A passing carriage.

The curtains of the carriage were rolled up, and a slender white hand stretched out from the window, catching the freely falling snowflakes contentedly.

And through the open car window, Zhou Xianyu could see clearly that the woman who had harmed him for the past few days, thinking about it day and night, was sitting in the car, her face was still so gentle and calm.

As the saying goes, no coincidence makes a book, Zhou Xianyu only thought of the other party here, and then Xiao Jinxuan appeared in front of his eyes, this fate is indeed a very subtle thing.

Zhou Xianyu let out a long laugh, turned over, and stood straight on the railing.

Turning back to Wang Rui, he said in a loud voice: "Fifth brother, I have to leave first, I will come back to find you later." After speaking, he smiled evilly, and jumped directly from the height of the three-story building.

Woman, I see you again, you know how I can't let you go.
