The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

When Mrs. Chu heard what the old concubine said, she was stunned for a while: "What did you say?"

Outside the flower hall, Chu Jinyao was stopped by Yang Qixia: "Five girls, stay."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Qixia looked at Chu Jinyao and smiled strangely. Because she was in a happy mood, her eyes were very bright, and the smile in her eyes made people uncomfortable: "It's rare to see Mrs. Chu going out. The last time she came here was to pay her birthday to the princess. Fifth girl, Mrs. Chu personally brought him this time. Why did you come to the county palace?"

Chu Jinyao understood immediately, Yang Qixia probably heard some wind, and now come to show off her feathers with her. Chu Jinyao didn't want to pay any attention to her, turned around and walked out, but Yang Qixia refused to let Chu Jinyao easily, and specifically chased up from behind and said: "Fifth girl, you haven't answered yet, why are you leaving? Oh? By the way, how is your foster father and mother? The friendship of your family is really touching."

Chu Jinyao would be too lazy to take care of her if it was only directed at herself, but Yang Qixia was too much, and she even used such a mocking tone to involve Su father and Su mother. Chu Jinyao stopped and looked back at her bitterly: "Miss Yang, stay on the sidelines and meet each other in the future. If you don't accumulate your morals like this, don't stop coming to Taiwan in the future."

Yang Qixia seemed to have heard some funny news, and she giggled, and her whole smile trembled: "When the matter is up to now, you dare to threaten me? It's a laugh. Chu Jinyao, you thought you were What about the prospective grand-daughter-in-law in the eyes of the old princess? I might as well tell you directly that your dreams, including those careful thoughts in your family, are all in vain. You are deliberately trying to **** other people’s things, but in the end it is not to return the property to the original owner. Things belong to whoever belongs to them. No matter how hard they work, some people can't take them away!"

Chu Jinyao smiled amusedly, and couldn't help saying: "Miss Yang, you regard this marriage as your lifeblood. Others may not be necessary. With these skills, I will show off with me, so it's better to read more books and learn more about it."

"Hey, you!" Yang Qixia was half to death by Chu Jinyao's words. She was annoyed in her heart, and she became more and more distracted, trying to make Chu Jinyao embarrassed. Yang Qixia sneered, and said: "You are now crazy now. After all, you have to offer me tea in the future. Don't you want to be crazy enough now."

Chu Jinyao frowned upon hearing this, "What did you say?"

Yang Qixia raised her chin and deliberately stretched her tone and said: "Oh, don't the fifth girl know? The old princess thinks that you are not worthy of being the main house, but she can't bear to let you marry, so she intends to let you be a side for her cousin. Concubine."

Chu Jinyao sounded like thunder in her ears, and she was almost shocked that she couldn't stand still. Yang Qixia saw Chu Jinyao's face turn pale with satisfaction, and she smiled: "You will be a concubine in the future, don't you want to serve me tea? Ouch, I have to call you my sister. Five younger sister?"

Chu Jinyao's complexion faded, and she did not expect that the Huailing County Prince's Mansion would dare to be so excessive. She thought that this was nothing more than the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of the prefectural palace. If satisfied, then everyone would be happy to be in-laws. If not, then they would reject it completely. In the future, the marriage of men and women is irrelevant, and no one will delay anyone. But how could the county mansion humiliate people like this, saying that it was okay, but let her be a concubine when he turned around? The side concubine said so well that he can be on the royal jade disc, but is this not a concubine?

Chu Jinyao's hands and feet were cold, and she felt disappointed in the prefectural palace, anger of being humiliated, and unwilling to be wronged. What did she do wrong? Su's father and mother Su came to slander her reputation, and she was also a victim. If the county mansion felt that this would jeopardize their family's reputation, she would just refuse it. Why did she insult her like this?

Chu Jinyao's fingertips were cold, not knowing whether it was angry or the wind blowing, and Yang Qixia had to scream in front of Chu Jinyao: "Fifth sister, why is your face so ugly? Is the wind too cold outside?"

Chu Jinyao couldn't bear it. She looked at Yang Qixia coldly and said: "If I were you, I wouldn't say these things that irritate me now. Instead, I would find a place to hide and laugh."

Yang Qixia was frightened by Chu Jinyao's eyes, and she raised her eyebrows unwillingly, "What's wrong with me, what's shameful? Why should I hide?"

"Since you don't see the coffin without tears, then I will remind you a few more words." Chu Jinyao suddenly changed the subject, "Miss Yang, do you still remember what you and Lan Ze did at the plum banquet at the end of the year? ?"

Yang Qixia missed the floor for two beats, and she pretended not to understand, forcibly shied away: "What are you talking about, I don't know."

"Chu Jinmiao and the others want to lie to me to change clothes. The little boy they met at the door is yours? I said, why can't I find this person in the palace, because originally, this is not in the palace of the prefecture. Descendants. Do you want to hear me keep talking about the rest?"

Yang Qixia was honest, biting her lip and not speaking. Chu Jinyao glanced at her and said faintly: "If you were so acquainted earlier, why would you be so shameless? I was too lazy to talk about you, but you have to jump in front of me. I tell you, if you dare to mess with me again , I will tell this to the old princess, you know better than me what the old princess taboos. At that time, I can congratulate you in advance and become the concubine of the world’s son."

After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Qixia coldly and turned away on her own. Linglong quickly followed. She was not as calm as Chu Jinyao. Instead, her tone was full of anxiety and fear, almost overflowing: "Girl, if what she said is true, what shall we do?"

"What you should do is to prove it." Chu Jinyao walked quickly, his face so calm and terrifying, "Where is my grandmother?"

Seeing Chu Jinyao's face, Linglong secretly felt shocked. Hearing Chu Jinyao's question, she did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied: "The old lady is talking to the old princess in front."

Chu Jinyao nodded and walked straight to the front hall. Mrs. Chu was extremely angry when she heard what the old princess said. She knew that if she couldn't help being angry for a while, she would only do bad things. So Mrs. Chu didn't have any attacks. Instead, she suppressed her temper and continued to say to the old princess: "My family, we are also ten. An old acquaintance in the coming year, Pearl gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters for the palace. What she has done over the years, no one can fault her, right?"

The old princess squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "The second wife is naturally a good one."

"Before there was Pearl, and after that, there were five girls in our family. My old relatives should know that our daughters are of good character. We are in-laws for over ten years, and now Pearl is still honoring you in the house, so you have lost the face of our family. ?"

"Lao Madam Chu said something wrong." The old princess replied, "We also know that the fifth girl is a good boy, but there is still no explanation about her, her adoptive parents, or even the shopkeeper. Madam Chu, we The palace also pays attention to other people, so it's unclear, how can you let us rest assured?"

Mrs. Chu still wanted to persuade the old princess to re-appoint Chu Jinyao as the concubine, but before she could come up with an excuse, the door outside was suddenly opened. The maids yelled again and again, as if they wanted to stop, but they didn't stop. Old Madam Chu and the old princess heard the maids' shouts. They stopped talking together and turned to look at the door.

The precious wooden door was pushed open vigorously, and the maid followed behind her and advised again and again: "Miss Chu Wu, the old ancestor is talking inside, so please don't bother! You can't go in."

Chu Jinyao ignored the obstructing servant girl. She looked directly at the old lady Chu and the old princess, and shouted, "Grandma."

Mrs. Chu seemed to feel something, she stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"

And the maid wanted to stop in front of Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao pushed away impatiently, strode across the threshold and walked towards the old lady Chu: "Grandmother, it’s your wish to marry a man and a girl. It’s not rare to marry their family. Let’s go!"

The old princess became angry when she heard this: "Presumptuous, what are you talking about?"

The old lady Chu simply relieved her anger when she heard Chu Jinyao's words, and she was fed up with the Lin Family's pretentious expressions. But Mrs. Chu still has some scruples. People are here. She talks about it. Maybe there is still a chance to turn around?

Chu Jinyao walked over and grabbed Mrs. Chu's voice and said, her voice was not loud but firm enough: "Grandma, I look down on such untrustworthy and unrighteous people. Let's go home."

Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Jinyao's firm eyes, and suddenly her heart calmed down. Given her granddaughter's appearance, who is not worthy of it? The old lady Yi Chu saw that even the lady in the palace did it too! Mrs. Chu returned to hold Chu Jinyao's hand and said, "Okay, let's go back."

The old princess had just been helped to stand up, and she almost didn't catch her anger when she heard these words. She pointed at Chu Jinyao and Mrs. Chu with a finger, and said tremblingly: "You, you..."

Mrs. Chu never felt such an uplifting. She turned around and said to the old princess: "I can go back on the marriage that has been agreed, and even say that my wife is a concubine. The county palace really has rules. We Changxing Marquis. Can't afford to climb high! Let's give up this marriage."

After speaking, Mrs. Chu took Chu Jinyao and the maid out without waiting for the old princess to respond. After the old princess reacted to what Mrs. Chu had said, her eyebrows became more and more angry. It was clear that their family did not look down on Chu Jinyao, so why made the Chu family say nothing about marriage? As if their county palace was rejected!

Not to mention how angry the old princess was. After Mrs. Chu came out of the old princess, she immediately asked the maid to run over to pass the order and let the girls pack their things and go home.

Chu Jinmiao was cautiously coaxing the county lord to be happy, so that after the county lord became the princess, he could open her mouth to take her a ride. Suddenly received the news that he was about to leave, Chu Jinmiao's plan was disrupted, and he was very angry: "Okay, how can I leave?"

"Four girls, please move quickly, the old lady is not very happy today."

Chu Jinmiao stretched his face and went out with a beating. At the second door, Chu Jinmiao found that not only she felt baffled, but even Chu Zhu looked surprised.

"Mother, you are leaving now? Aren't you talking to my mother-in-law? Why are you leaving? I haven't spoken to you yet."

Chu Zhu looked inexplicable. Old Lady Chu looked at her daughter distressedly, but the married daughter had thrown out the water. Now Chu Zhu is the Lin family, and Mrs. Chu was cruel and said: "You go back, let's go first. ."

"Hey, mother..."

The carriage of the Changxing Hou Mansion galloped away, leaving Chu Zhu alone, standing in place for unknown reasons.

Lin Xiyuan has been thinking about this incident for a few days, and he even sent someone to investigate Su's father and Su's mother. A few days later, the results of his subordinates would not come back, and Lin Xiyuan could only wait anxiously for himself. Today he heard that Chu Jinyao was coming, so he ran to the backyard quickly, but when he came, he only saw Chu Zhu alone. Chu Zhu led the maid standing at the door of Chuihua, staring at the front eagerly. Lin Xiyuan glanced around and asked puzzledly: "Second aunt, why is it only you? How about the people in the Hou Mansion?"

Chu Zhu said angrily: "I just left, you can see it when you come to a cup of tea early."

"Leave?" Lin Xiyuan was surprised, "Why did they leave so soon?"

"I don't know." Chu Zhu said, "No matter, let's go and ask our ancestors together."

After Lin Xiyuan heard all this from his own grandmother, he almost thought that the old princess was joking.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? It's obviously the concubine that Ming Media is marrying, how could it be a concubine?"

The old princess lay down on the Arhat bed with her eyelids drooping, and the little maid slapped her fans: "Yuan'er, you are the lifeblood of the whole family, and your concubine should be the best woman in the world. Don't say anything about Rong Degong. , It’s the nature and character, she should also be submissive and graceful, perfect. The five girls of the Changxinghou Mansion, she is not so lucky."

"Grandma, how do you know that she is not the best girl in the world?" Lin Xiyuan said with suppressed anger, "In my heart, she is the best woman. What you are doing today is simply ridiculous. How else to stand up? Since it is for me to choose a wife, that's my decision." After that, Lin Xiyuan strode out.

When the old princess heard the furious, she sat up half propped up, and shouted at the back of her grandson: "You give me back! Marriage is the words of your parents. Do you still want to be the master of the marriage? You don't want your own. Fame, doesn't even care about that woman's life?"

Lin Xiyuan was extremely angry, but when he heard the words of the old princess, he had to hold back his anger and stop: "No..."

"Since you don't have this idea, then go back honestly. This matter, I and your mother are the masters."

"But, grandmother..."

"I know." The old princess calmed down her expression and casually calmed Lin Xiyuan, "I didn't know before, but I didn't think about it. Now that I know what you mean, I will naturally treat it seriously."

For many years, Lin Xiyuan regretted this moment. At that time, if he asked one more question, it would be great.

Lin Xiyuan looked at the old princess's loving and gentle eyes, and finally believed in his grandmother: "Okay, then rely on your grandmother to be the master of your grandson."

Mrs. Chu rejected the old concubine with a single voice, and returned to Changxing Hou Mansion fiercely. But after she sat down in Rongning Hall and calmed down for a while, she regretted it again.

At that time, she scolded the old princess out of anger, and she felt comfortable, but what should she do afterwards?

Many people have heard about Chu Jinyao's discussion with the prefectural palace. Before, the two of them had a close relationship, and they were a nailed family in the eyes of outsiders. But now, suddenly there is news that Chu Jinyao has never been married. What should outsiders do? Want Chu Jinyao?

Even if Mrs. Chu gave up her in-laws, she would blame the prefecture's rebellion with outsiders. Besides verbally sympathizing and sympathizing with Chu Jinyao, what use would everyone do? The prince still didn't worry about talking to each other. On the contrary, after Chu Jinyao withdrew, some ladies rushed to choose the prefectural palace. But what about Chu Jinyao? Can you talk about good people?

What's more, Chu Zhu is still working as a daughter-in-law in the princess palace, and Mrs. Chu can't get rid of her face with the old concubine at all.

Mrs. Chu thought about it all night, and the next day, she asked the Zhao family to bring Geng Tie from her relatives, and she personally chose it.

Many wives had tentatively asked about Chu Jinyao's marriage before. At that time, Mrs. Chu was full of thoughts that Chu Jinyao would be a concubine, how could these people look good? Now that the concubine is not a concubine, Mrs. Chu is anxious all of a sudden, and then she chooses from the home of the person who passed the Geng Tie.

Mrs. Chu was silent for two days. On the third day, she finally called Chu Jinyao and said, "Fifth girl, what do you think of the affairs of the prefectural palace?"

Chu Jinyao was very surprised: "Isn't it over? Their family deceived so much, they wanted me to be their concubine, it was a dream."

Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Jinyao as if she was watching a child who was in a rebellious period. Mrs. Chu said: "It's good for you to be heartbroken, but you can't rely on your backbone to eat when you are alive. Because I was busy with the affairs of the prefectural palace before and delayed telling you about your relationship, and now many ladies know about you and the son. If this matter is suddenly known to you, I am afraid it will be bad for you and the family."

Chu Jinyao was really eye-opening as she listened. She widened her eyes in disbelief: "But grandmother, they asked me to be a concubine, not a concubine! My aunt is still the second room wife in the Hou Mansion. If I am really self-contained and give someone a side, then you let my aunt How do you deal with your cousins?"

"A royal concubine, can it be the same as an ordinary concubine?"

"But they don't have the surname Qin! Even if the surname is Qin, why should I be a concubine?"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Chu was almost scared to death by Chu Jinyao's words, "Which surnamed Qin is not surnamed Qin, you can talk about the heavenly family? Who taught you such things?"

Chu Jinyao bit her lip and said, "No one taught."

Only then did Mrs. Chu feel relieved. Looking at Chu Jinyao, she couldn't help but sigh, and persuaded with all her heart: "Jin Yao, there will always be a lot of helplessness in life. If there is a better one. Choose, I won’t say such a thing, I also want you to marry gracefully, so as to give the people in the Huailing County Palace a shame. However, the world is not as good as we intended!"

When Mrs. Chu said this, she choked with a rare voice: "This is probably the life of a person. She is obviously a good girl, so she won't meet a good person. It was like this when I was young, but it is still like this when I am in you. "

The light in Chu Jinyao's eyes gradually died down. She understood Mrs. Chu's meaning. Mrs. Chu did find a way. However, the result was such unfairness. The person who broke the contract was unscathed, but she had to face no harm. The situation where people can marry. Seeing that Chu Jinyao listened to Mrs. Chu, she continued: "Don't worry, they are in the wrong place. They will definitely find someone to be a lobbyist in a few days. But then you just cry and behave a little haggard. I'll give it to you. You fight for an argument. Even if you are a concubine, you must let them treat you no less than the main room."

The more Chu Jinyao listened to it, the more she felt that she couldn't help. She couldn't help but said, "Grandma, after all, they are also a prefectural palace. Although they are higher than ours, how much higher can they be? We are also a decent mansion, father. With the military power in hand, why should we stay low and be a child so that our own daughters can be concubines for them?"

"If it was in the former palace of Huailing County, the old princess dared to say that we let our concubine be a side concubine, I would naturally ignore her, and maybe I would break our relationship. But now, their family is different from the past, and they want to flutter their wings and fly. "That's right." Mrs. Chu said, "Since you have already asked here, it's okay for me to tell you. The Lin family paid a lot of money and asked someone to speak to the old lady in the Zhenbei Houfu. The old lady of the Zhenbei Houfu. I was so happy that I personally said that I was going to enter the palace and the queen said for the county lord. Do you know who the Zhenbeihou Mansion is?"

"I know." Chu Jinyao said in a low voice, "Zhenbeihou is the elder brother of the Queen's Empress and the uncle of His Royal Highness."

Mrs. Chu was a little surprised: "You know? You know it, I will explain to you in the province. Since you know the background of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, you should know that although we are both the Hou Mansion, our family and others are completely No comparison. Zhenbei Hou Mansion is the queen’s family, the son of the emperor, and the princess had to quit the car when they saw it. The concierges of Zhenbei Hou Mansion were more decent than the five-rank official of the capital. The Lin family could find someone to tell the north of the town. The old lady of the Hou Mansion, the crown concubine, has basically stabilized for the most part. The old lady Qi is the queen’s mother-in-law, and the queen will basically not refuse her words, and the emperor will follow the words of the queen again. As long as the queen is approved, then This matter can be finalized. It is precisely because of this that the old princess and the princess dare to be so arrogant, because their family will soon have a prince!"

Chu Jinyao's words almost reached her throat, but in the end she still held back her words. Because of Empress Wenxiao's affairs, the prince and Xiaoqi's posture were like fire and water, and he even criticized Zhenbeihou's mansion. Was the Huailing County Prince's Mansion really going to talk to Xiaoqi after walking around?

I'm afraid it's not going to make enemies

But Chu Jinyao didn't say these words at all. The matter of the prince and the queen is too far away from her. Even if the county lord finds the wrong person, but if she really leaves her name with the queen of Xiaoqi, even if the prince fails, it is always okay to change to another concubine or princess. The county owner’s husband’s family can’t be worse anyway, and it’s Chu Jinyao herself that really needs to worry about it.

Mrs. Chu also said: "The Royal Palace of Huailing County let our concubine be a concubine. This is not for them, but if it is replaced by the prince's maiden, would you say that it is not appropriate?"

Naturally it deserves it. Regarding the Huailing County Palace alone, it is still an ordinary nobleman. If the county owner becomes a princess, then the Lin Family will immediately become the second Zhenbeihou's mansion and leap into the top class of nobles. It is more than enough to let a last-generation Miss Houfu who is no better than the last concubine of the elder son.

Chu Jinyao closed her eyes, frustrated: "Grandma, must this be the case? Can I not marry someone?"
