The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao hesitated for a while, then turned around and said to Linglong, "You wait for me here first."

Linglong was surprised: "Girl!"

"We have all seen it, it's not good to ignore it."

Chu Jinyao walked towards the pavilion, Linglong stayed outside, standing in a position where he could see but could not hear.

"His Royal Highness." Chu Jinyao saluted Qin Yi with her back.

Qin Yi turned around and found that Chu Jinyao was still standing far away. He felt a little strange: "What are you doing while standing so far?"

Chu Jinyao paused, shook her head and said, "Minnv is here to write about His Royal Highness."

"Oh?" Chu Jinyao was still so alienated, and Qin Yi also chatted with her, "Thank me for what?"

Chu Jinyao couldn't say that Prince Xie came out for herself. The prince only said that the county owner should be disciplined. It would be too embarrassing for her to be seated. So she said euphemistically: "Thanks to the prince who gave me the medicine yesterday and sent me back to the hospital."

"Didn't you say that you didn't see me yesterday." Qin Yi said, "Where did these things come from?"

Chu Jinyao became more embarrassed, and she knew that she had offended this grandfather by what she said today, but the situation was worse than others. Chu Jinyao could only say: "The situation was special at the time, and the girls were forced to be helpless. The prince would definitely be able to understand. "

"I can't be considerate."

Chu Jinyao gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, "Is it possible?"

Qin Yi chuckled and laughed. As expected, every time he was in a bad mood, he was right to come to Chu Jinyao. She is simply a living treasure, she has not seen for a few months, and she is more and more dazed.

The prince laughed inexplicably, Chu Jinyao didn't know, so she could only wait awkwardly for Qin Yi to finish laughing. Fortunately, after Qin Yi laughed, he no longer deliberately teased Chu Jinyao, and said generously: "Okay, no one will mention this matter, you can rest assured."

Chu Jinyao let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly saluted Qin Yi: "His Royal Highness will never repent, right?"

Qin Yi looked at her amused: "Do you still dare to question me?"

"No." Chu Jinyao denied it, how well-behaved and well-behaved her attitude was. She got the right words, and finally felt at ease, so she took the initiative to resign: "Men's daughter dare not harass her Highness, so she will leave first."

"Wait." Qin Yi called her, his eyes were very strange at the moment, "Couldn't you be true?"

"Huh?" Chu Jinyao looked inexplicable, what's true? Of course she is real, can she still be a dummy?

"Okay, I know." Qin Yi couldn't say anything in his heart. He thought that Chu Jinyao was unfamiliar with him yesterday, but now he realized that this dumb goose really didn't realize that he was alone. Qin Yi wanted to dig through Chu Jinyao's mind to see what was growing inside. Such obvious things could be seen by people with long eyes. She hadn't recognized him yet?

Qin Yi was so angry that he didn't want to talk. He simply put on the air, he wanted to see when this idiot would realize this.

Qin Yi made up his mind to stop reminding Chu Jinyao, and his attitude also deliberately became alienated. Qin Yi said: "I know, you can go now."

Chu Jinyao felt baffled. After she responded, she turned around and left.

Qin Yi stayed in place, and gradually narrowed his eyes.

Here, the old princess has been immersed in a gloomy mist since sending away the prince.

The county lord was still crying, and the princess was sitting on the side and cried along with her. The old princess looked so upset that she had to let the maid help her out.

Lan Ze helped the old princess onto the Luohan bed and put a pillow on the back of the old princess intimately. She asked, "Old ancestor, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do?" The old princess was very angry. "She was spoiled for a long time and looked forward to the future. Her mother would protect her when everything happened. What can I say?"

Lan Ze is not easy to answer these words. She paused for a while, then knocked on the side: "The matter of today... irritated the prince, this matter will eventually be resolved. Old ancestors, all the people in the palace are waiting for you to get them. What's your idea, what do you think?"

Why didn't the old concubine know this truth? It turned anger into anger, and things always had to be resolved. She leaned on the pillow and thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Call Shizi over."

Lan Ze's eyes flickered, and he withdrew in response.

Lin Xiyuan has been with the Huailing County King these few days, and has very little free time. But after hearing the summons of the old princess, he took the time to come.

"Grandma, are you looking for me?"

The old princess held back everyone, leaving Lan Ze and Xia Bo guarding the door outside. The old concubine looked at Lin Xiyuan up and down and nodded with a smile: "Yuan'er has grown up."

Lin Xiyuan was frowned upon by the attitude of the old princess. He frowned and said uncomfortably, "Grandma, what do you want to tell me?"

"You are already seventeen this year." The old princess did not answer, but sighed, "In a blink of an eye, you have grown up like this."

Lin Xiyuan waited quietly for the follow-up of the old princess. Sure enough, the old princess sighed for a while, then raised her eyes, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "Yuan'er, you are also at the age when you should be a family. Do you like it?"

Lin Xiyuan felt ridiculous when he heard it. He frowned and refused: "Grandma, I'm only seventeen, and I haven't even joined the official ranks. Why do you marry early?"

"It's still early." The old princess groaned, "You are already seventeen, a child of an ordinary rich family. Whoever is not engaged at fifteen or sixteen, married at seventeen, eighteen should be a father!"

Lin Xiyuan felt that there was nothing to say, and he replied: "Grandma, the prince is only eighteen, so I don't see him marrying a wife and having children!"

The old concubine patted Lin Xiyuan: "You actually compare with the prince! He is the prince, which is another matter at the time. Besides, maybe the wedding of the prince is coming soon."

Lin Xiyuan raised an eyebrow and sighed: "Grandma, you and mother... still can't let go of this matter?"

As a peer, Lin Xiyuan's intuition for Qin Yi is far more acute than that of his elders. His father, mother, and grandmother are all dreaming about the prince's concubine, but Lin Xiyuan feels that...the prince is not the kind of person who will let others control you. .

The prince was unwilling to do what Huailing County Prince's Mansion did, and that would be to draw water with a bamboo basket, and a phantom in the water.

The old princess didn't like Lin Xiyuan's words. She emphasized her tone slightly and said: "Yuan'er, your mother and your sister are still inside. Don't say this kind of frustrating words anymore."

Lin Xiyuan smiled and chose to shut up.

The old princess Xu felt that her tone was too harsh, so she slowed down and continued: "Yuan'er, no matter what the prince is, you are at the age of marriage. If you are not used to it, make a decision first and wait for next year. Pass the door again."

"No!" Lin Xiyuan said, "Grandma, don't worry at all, why do you push me?"

"Now you feel that my old lady is forcing you. You will know it when someone passes the door. You can understand my painstaking efforts." The old princess said stubbornly. It's not sweet, your wife is going to live with you for a generation. You know who it is in advance, and it's better if your eyes are blackened. What do you think of the five girls who live in our palace temporarily?"

Five girls? Lin Xiyuan's heart suddenly lifted, and he asked: "Which five girls?"

"Which is there, she is the only one ranked fifth in the palace." The old princess can only make it clear, "It is the fifth young lady of the Chu family, and her girlfriend is Jin Yao. Her grandmother intends to kiss our family. ."

It was Chu Jinyao, Lin Xiyuan was confused, and instantly felt that getting married was not something to resist. He hesitated and said vaguely: "Grandson dare not disobey grandmother, grandmother arrange it."

Oh, just now I was very resistant, and now it became a "grandmother arrangement"? The old concubine's heart was clear, she glanced at Lin Xiyuan complainingly, she was not willing to condemn her grandson.

The old princess said: "Since you have no objection, then I will mention it to your father and mother tonight, and then I can settle it. Your own affairs have become a problem, you can't ignore your biological sister, right? "

Lin Xiyuan was really convinced, and quickly said: "Grandma, what do you want me to do, just tell me!"

The old lady said: "It's nothing, just in your name, invite the prince out to have a banquet. At that time, you will be unruly and call the other children in our family. There are too many people! You young people of similar age, get together. There must be something to say when we are together, take this opportunity to talk to the prince about yesterday’s Baozhu."

Lin Xiyuan understood. He was acting in his name and hosting a banquet for the prince out. With his brother watching, the county lord and others could also attend. Moreover, the old princess meant that it is best to take this opportunity to change the prince's view of Lin Baozhu.

To put it bluntly, the old princess still wants to hold Lin Baozhu as the princess.

Lin Xiyuan sighed, but he had other thoughts and was reluctant to refuse, so he responded: "Well, I will try, but the prince should not be invited. I can't guarantee."

The old princess naturally responded: "It's okay, just let it go and do it."

Lin Xiyuan had talked to the old concubine about his life in recent days, and then he left. He opened the door and jumped in a person from the outside.

Lin Xiyuan was bluffed, and quickly reached out to support this person. After seeing it clearly, Lin Xiyuan smiled and said, "It turned out to be Sister Lan Ze, please pay attention to your feet."

Lan Ze smiled wryly, and waited a long time before he stood up completely. She lowered her head and said, "Xie Shizi cares."

Lin Xiyuan smiled again, not paying attention, and strode out.

That night, when the princess of the county heard about this, she was stunned: "Mother, what did you say?"

The old princess smiled kindly: "I just said, "I'm going to make it or not, I want you and my wife to discuss it together."

The King of Huailing County felt that it didn't matter. He didn't even know who the five girls of the Chu family were. Since his mother said that, it must be all right. The King of Huailing County said: "Since my mother is willing, let's do it."

The princess glared at the princess of Huailing from the side, only to see that the old princess was willing, why didn't she ask her whether she was willing or not? She is Yuan'er's mother-in-law. Marriage is the order of the parents. How can anyone's grandmother cross her daughter-in-law to be engaged to her eldest grandson? This hand is also stretched too long.

The princess princess said tentatively: "Mother, it is a good thing for the five girls of the Chu family to cast your eyes on you, but marriage is not a trivial matter, not to mention that Yuan'er's wife has to take care of the entire palace. Why shouldn't we make a hasty decision like this?"

Before the old concubine could express her opinion, the king of Huailing County became angry. He widened his eyes and reprimanded: "Hundreds of filial piety is the first priority. My mother has already spoken. How dare you be dissatisfied with your mother's decision?"

The princess of the county was scolded and humiliated, and said quickly: "I am not dissatisfied, I just... negotiate with my mother."

The prince of Huailing County snorted coldly, turning his face away from the prince of the county. The princess concubine was so embarrassed that she did not dare to mention it again.

When she returned to her yard, the princess couldn’t help but cursed at the companion room: “Yuan’er is my son, and I’m the mother-in-law who chooses a daughter-in-law. How can she overtake her on her behalf? She has the final say? There is a prince, too, foolish filial piety! In his eyes, only his mother, my concubine has no weight. He doesn't look at them, who are the ones who gave birth to him and take care of the housework!"

The princess shed tears as she spoke, and the maid cried with the princess. As soon as they packed up, they heard someone say: "Wang Hao, Miss Yang Biao is here."

As soon as Chu Jinyao cleaned up the dried petals in the courtyard, he saw a maid in the courtyard of the old concubine come in. As soon as the maid walked in, she boasted: "Oh, the fifth girl is playing with petals? The fifth girl is really leisurely, really elegant."

"Don't dare." Chu Jinyao said with a smile, "It's a pity that I just watched these petals fall to the ground. I haven't seen such a beautiful blue and purple! Don't talk about it, what is my sister doing here?"

The maid who reported the letter smiled and said: "My ancestor asked me to inform the girl that I will be the hostess in the future, please enjoy the flowers and wine."

Chu Jinyao felt that it was a bit far-fetched, so she politely said: "The elder son is hosting a banquet. It is good for the county owner and cousins ​​to go. It is not appropriate for me to go.

"Why is it inappropriate." The maid said, "The fifth girl is as close as our own girl. The elder son is the elder brother of the county lord, and is also the elder brother of the fifth girl. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to go to his brother's banquet? The elder said, At that time, the five girls must come. If the girl refuses to go, she will not consider the county owner and the elder son as her own."

Chu Jinyao was originally not her own, but the other party's words have reached this point, and she refuses to know what is good or bad. So Chu Jinyao had no choice but to nod her head and said, "I see, Sister Xie came to pass the letter. Bellflower, send her out."

When the day came, Chu Jinyao dressed up casually, put on a white single shirt and a lavender dress with a flower horse face, trying to keep herself at a level that is not provocative and courteous, and she went out with Linglong. .

Lin Xiyuan set the place in the garden. It was a small half-open courtyard where you could rest and play. The back of the house led directly to the lotus pond, and there were two begonias planted in the corner of the wall. From the point of view of the banqueting place, we can know the intention of the host.

After entering, Chu Jinyao immediately knew why Lin Xiyuan was so careful, and he even invited the prince.

When Chu Jinyao stepped into the hospital, the first thing that caught the eye was Yang Qixia standing in the middle of the courtyard. Yang Qixia saw her and greeted her with a smile: "The Fifth Sister is here! The Fifth Sister is really handsome. With your jade in front, I am afraid that we Pu Liu will not be able to see it. The name of the number one beauty in the palace is the Fifth Sister. !"

The county lord, Lin Baoying, and Lin Baohuan were in the palace. How could Chu Jinyao dare to make Yang Qixia really pin the name of this beauty on her head. Chu Jinyao smiled and declined: "Sister Yang is really good at talking and laughing. How am I one-tenth of my sister? Besides, who in the palace can be compared to the county owner's noble and graceful. Sister Yang, don't you think?"

Chu Jinyao put the words here, Yang Qixia was not easy to answer, she smiled and said: "The fifth sister is really clever." Then she stopped continuing the topic.

After Chu Jinyao blocked Yang Qixia back, she was secretly surprised, what happened to Yang Qixia? Even if she didn't deal with it, Yang Qixia always secretly gave her nails, so it was the first time that she used words to choke her when she came up.

Yang Qixia and Chu Jinyao stood here and talked, and they quickly alarmed the people inside. A maid came out and smiled and said, "Miss Yang Biao, Fifth Girl, you don't go inside so you are here?"

Chu Jinyao responded with a smile: "I'm here." Then she turned her head to look at Yang Qixia: "Sister Yang, are you going?"

"Let's go." Yang Qixia smiled, and took the initiative to take Chu Jinyao's arm. Yang Qixia came over and deliberately showed Chu Jinyao the hollow golden hairpin on her hair bun: "Fifth sister, look, this was given to me by my aunt Wang. I heard that it was the dowry left by my grandmother to my aunt. It was said to be an heirloom. Pass it on to my daughter-in-law. The aunt and the aunt are so generous that they gave me this kind of thing. By the way, the fifth sister, you and the second wife are also nephews, why haven't you seen you go to the second wife's house these days?"

Chu Jinyao glanced at the golden hairpin in Yang Qixia's hair. The craftsmanship was indeed meticulous and the age was long. Therefore, Yang Qixia deliberately targeted her today because of this?

Sure enough, there was a disagreement between the old princess and the county princess. The old princess said that the two daughters-in-law’s granddaughters are both in-laws, so whoever stays is fine, but for the princess princess, surrendering her son’s position as a concubine to Chuzhu’s niece, what is the matter? After waiting, is it not happy to sit and watch your daughter-in-law colluding with the second room to find yourself?

How could the princess concubine tolerate such a thing? Yang Qixia happened to run into it at this juncture. The Yang family always sent Yang Qixia to the princess mansion for a small stay, and the princess concubine never said that the two parties probably had this plan long ago.

Yang Qixia was here to demonstrate in front of her. Chu Jinyao saw it clearly, but was too lazy to join the peace. Marriage is a good way to make two surnames. Let the elders of the family go to see it. She just waits quietly for the final result.

After Chu Jinyao understood Yang Qixia's thoughts, she didn't bother to pay attention to her, and found a place to sit by herself as soon as she entered the house. When the county lord came for a while, everyone was surrounded outside, clamoring as if to compose poems. Chu Jinyao felt bored, so she went to another room and sat by herself.

This room is in the innermost part, very quiet, and there is a game of chess beside the window, which seems to be half-played.

Chu Jinyao was so curious that she leaned forward. She had no conditions when she was young, which led to a lack of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but even so, she couldn't stop her from being curious.

Chu Jinyao sat on Baizi's side, eager to try it on the chessboard. But she really didn't know how to play chess. Relying on her happiness, she played a lot of chess, and the black stones on the chessboard were suddenly overwhelmed by the white ones.

Chu Jinyao was playing happily, and a voice came from behind him coldly: "What are you doing?"

Chu Jinyao was startled, she was about to stand up immediately, but she stepped on the corner of her skirt and almost fell. Qin Yi stretched out his hand to support her forearm, Chu Jinmiao's downward thrust was not weak, but Qin Yi's hand was firm and steady, and he did not even move at all.

Qin Yi sighed and seemed to be used to Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao was supported by Qin Yi and soon stood firm. She stood firm and almost jumped out of the window: "His Royal Highness?"

"Stunned." Qin Yi looked down at his unfinished chess game, and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Chu Jinyao's masterpiece.

Chu Jinyao's face flushed: "His Royal Highness, could it be that this is your chess?"

"Otherwise?" Qin Yi couldn't laugh or cry. "You can't play chess?"

Soon he got the answer, Chu Jinyao taught how to write and how to play chess.

Chu Jinyao's embarrassment turned red when she was caught by the master for being stupid. She said in a low voice: "Since the prince is going to play chess, then I will not disturb His Highness Yaxing, I will go out first."

"You have stirred up a good endgame like this, are you leaving now?"

"Then... what shall we do?"

Qin Yi sat on the opposite side and nodded to Chu Jinyao, "Sit down."

Chu Jinyao sat down obediently, thinking that the prince was going to give a lecture, but Qin Yi said, "Pick up Baizi, I will teach you to play chess."

The author has something to say: Qin Yi, who is suspected of having obsessive-compulsive disorder, please call him by his full name. Qin does not teach all uncomfortable Si Yi.
