The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

"How can this be done?" Mrs. Chu smiled, she said meaningfully, "Even if you are cruel and don't marry, what about the younger sisters behind you?"

Chu Jinyao had nothing to say at all. She said a blessing to Mrs. Chu, her voice was not cold as if she was speaking: "I see. Grandma, Wanfu, I will retire first."

Mrs. Chu has always been cold and hard, but she also felt compassion for this granddaughter. She was obviously a daughter of Hou Men, but she was replaced when she was born. When she finally returned, her mother also brought another daughter to maturity. The family tried hard to choose a good relationship for her, and it seemed that it was all set, but in the end this kind of thing happened.

Mrs. Chu sighed long and looked at Chu Jinyao pityingly: "Go, just be quiet for yourself. After a few days, you will gather your energy and plan for the future."

After Chu Jinyao left, Mrs. Chu sat down on her own, still not at ease, so she called Linglong over.

Linglong was originally serving on Mrs. Chu's place, and both sides were familiar with each other. Old Madam Chu didn't talk nonsense with Linglong, and asked as soon as she came up, "Girl Five has been in good spirits these past few days? Why don't you think about it, do something stupid."

Linglong lowered her head and said confidently: "No, the girl is not such a lowly person."

"That's good." Mrs. Chu was relieved, and remembered another thing, "What happened that day was very easy to investigate, and it turned out that Chu Jinmiao was making trouble. This kind of vicious mind should have been punished heavily, but the fifth girl The affair with the son is no longer done, and Brother Ning likes Chu Jinmiao very much again. If we let her go, wouldn't we be able to take both ends?"

Linglong was shocked when she heard that Chu Jinyao's marriage failed, so she wanted to marry Chu Jinmiao to Lin Xining to keep her relationship with the palace of Huailing County? If this is the case, then Chu Jinmiao really can't be touched.

Linglong calmed down and said, "Old lady, you are kind, and you naturally think of people for the good. However, the fourth girl and the fifth girl have no conflict of interest, and they both harmed the fifth girl's reputation because of jealousy. You sent the fourth girl before. I went to the temple and offended the Four Girls. I am afraid that the Four Girls are still holding a grudge. If the Four Girls are really allowed to marry Young Master Ning, how can you know if the Four Girls will blame you on Young Master Ning and the old princess, and arrange the Hou Mansion? not good?"

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she hesitated: "She has only our Hou Mansion to rely on, shouldn't she have the courage?"

Linglong said: "Whoever can say that is right, the four girls will probably not be like this, but they are not afraid of ten thousand but just in case, even if it is the opportunity to take one out of ten, once she does it, it is inevitable. This is bad for our Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Chu sounded reasonable. There was no need to do risky things. There were so many granddaughters in their family, and one more granddaughter could get married. There was no need to take advantage of the outsider Chu Jinmiao.

Still a vicious outsider.

Linglong had been observing Mrs. Chu's face, and when she saw her showing this expression, Linglong knew that the persuasion was done. Mrs. Chu thought that Linglong was her own person, so she trusted her wholeheartedly. This was also the reason why Linglong could persuade Mrs. Chu to change her mind in a few words. But how could Mrs. Chu know that Linglong had long been biased towards Chu Jinyao's position.

Linglong came out of Mrs. Chu's house and hurried to Chaoyun Courtyard. After she pushed the door in, she found that the maids were quietly standing outside.

Linglong asked quietly: "The girl herself is inside?"

Dingxiang nodded to Linglong, and pointed his finger to the east. Linglongxin understood that she wanted to enter the house to persuade Chu Jinyao, but finally gave up.

When Chu Jinyao feels uncomfortable, she likes to go to the study and sit there. They still don't bother to go in.

Inside the room, Chu Jinyao sat at the desk, turning pages of the large characters written in the past.

How much effort did she take to learn these things. She originally thought that only those who worked hard could live well, and she couldn't appreciate Chu Jinmiao's side-by-side energy, but in the end she proved that she was the complete fool.

Chu Jinyao flipped through the pages, and turned to a page with powerful, golden hooks and iron marks. Chu Jinyao looked at it quietly for a while, but reached out to cover it.

The last time she was bullied by her sisters, she was helpless when she was isolated and helpless, but she is going to be forced to be a side room soon, why is there no one by her side?

Chu Jinyao said softly in her heart, Qi Ze, didn't you say that I will have a happy life in my life? You also said that no matter what wish I have, you will fulfill it for me. But now, someone is forcing me to be a concubine, can't you hear it?

A drop of tears slipped from Chu Jinyao's cheeks, just to drop on the handwriting of Qin Yi, fainting the word "Nuo" into a cloud of ink.

You broke your promise, Zize.

Wei Wu was wearing a star and wearing a moon, and finally entered the city of Datong at sunset. As soon as he entered the city, he rushed to the palace. After arriving at the palace where Qin Yi was staying, the **** who guarded the gate said, "The prince is not in the house. His Royal Highness has been in the barracks these days."

Wei Wu didn't care about being covered with dust, and rushed to the barracks. When he finally saw Qin Yi, the clouds in the sky had faded away, and the world showed a gloomy dusk.

Qin Yi seems to have lost weight in the past few days, and his bones are more distinct, his body is like a sword, and his eyes are like a sword. Qin Yi wore a silver armor, and the sleeves were embroidered with bright yellow four-clawed python dragons. The whole person looked like an unsheathed knife, with sharp edges.

Xiao Linzi is also by his side, now he is standing far away in the corner of the tent, wishing he wouldn't breathe when he was born. After Wei Wu entered the tent, he quickly glanced at Xiaolinzi, feeling surprised.

What did Xiao Linzi do to be so afraid of it?

Qin Yi sat on the main seat. After hearing the voice, he only looked up at Wei Wu, then looked down at the Di Bao: "Why are you here?"

Wei Wu suddenly understood why Xiao Linzi had to hide so far.

Wei Wu cleared up his mood and replied respectfully and cautiously: "Back to the prince, there have been some minor things in Taiyuan, and the slave and maidservant dare not decide, so he reported it to His Royal Highness."

The last time Qin Yi went to Taiyuan, giving birthdays to the old princesses of the Royal Palace of Huailing County was just an excuse. Their real purpose was to connect with the people in the capital. The prince's departure from Jingcheng does not mean that his control over Jingli is weak. Taking advantage of the old princess of the Lin family to celebrate her birthday, the people in the capital came to the palace in the name of giving gifts, and the noisy people in the palace in those few days, whether it was from the Lin family or the other princes, it was very ugly to keep everyone’s movements. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone gathered in the prince’s room one after another, reporting the movement in the palace and the court, and discussing what to do next. The prince has prepared his military merits, it is time to find a chance to return to Beijing in triumph.

Even Wei Wu personally went to the palace of Huailing County in the name of giving gifts. In the original plan, the prince would stay in Taiyuan for several days, and after all arrangements were made, he would return to the border to gather his military power and prepare to return to Beijing. But for some reason, the prince stayed for a short time, so he didn't say a word and went back to the border directly.

The plan was disrupted, which caused some minor troubles to these people, but it was not a big deal. The real trouble is the prince.

Since the prince came back, his condition has not been very good, and all the people below are secretly worried. Wei Wu had heard people say that he didn't think it before, but when he saw it in person now, his heart sank severely.

"Taiyuan's matter?" Qin Yi paused for a while, and then asked unconsciously, "What's the matter?"

Wei Wu hesitated for a moment, and said carefully, "It's not a big deal..."

Qin Yi didn’t speak, but with Wei Wu’s so many years of experience, he immediately saw that the prince was upset. Wei Wu didn’t dare to delay any more and quickly said: “In fact, it’s the Changxing Hou’s matter. relationship."

"Chu Jinyao?" Qin Yi heard the name, couldn't help but stop, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

The crown prince even knew the name of the fifth girl...Wei Wu felt that he knew something extraordinary. He no longer hesitated, and took Su's father and Su's mother to make trouble, Su Hui for help, and Mrs. Chu to take the whole family to the county. I said everything about the palace.

Qin Yi's expression became colder the more he listened, and when he finally heard the old lady Chu and the prefectural palace, the quarrel broke up. After returning to the mansion early, Qin Yi's body could almost freeze out on Wednesday. "They are so bold."

Wei Wu was unsure whether the "they" the prince said was the Lin family, the Chu family, or the Su family couple, so he had to bow his head to avoid saying something wrong. Qin Yi paused for a while, took a deep breath, picked up the tea cup and squeezed himself: "What did the Lin family say in the end?"

"Yesterday I received the news from the dog and flying pigeon. The letter said that the old princess of the Lin family intends to let the fifth girl be the concubine of the elder son, they..."

Before Wei Wu finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain cracking. Wei Wu secretly raised his eyes and found that Qin Yi's face was gloomy and scary, and the precious Ji blue porcelain cup was knocked on the table. He carefully observed that there was an erect crack on the blue glaze, which was actually crushed by Qin Yisheng.

Qin Yi let go, and the porcelain cup that was still neat just now fell apart and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Wei Wu did not dare to speak, but looked at the blood stains on the broken tiles, and did not dare not to ask: "Your Highness, your hand..."

"It's okay." Qin Yi stopped the **** who wanted to come forward to bandage his hands, and still looked up at Wei Wu, "Is it serious?"

"really."

"What did the Chu family say?"

"When the servants left, Changxing Houfu hadn't made a statement. In the flying pigeon's letter yesterday, it only stated that the prefecture's mansion intended to make Chu Wu a concubine, but the attitude of the Houfu was not mentioned." Wei Wu looked at Qin Yi's face. Added another sentence, "They probably haven't agreed yet."

Qin Yi sneered: "Count them as interesting, if they dare to agree...I can't spare them first."

Wei Wu lowered his head, not daring to think about what the prince meant. After a while, Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "It's all about you, let's go down."

"Yes."

Wei Wu and Xiao Linzi stepped back, and when they went out, Xiao Linzi closed the tent gently.

After the tent was closed, the big tent suddenly became dark. When the door was closed, a gust of wind swirled in from outside, blowing the flame of the candlestick up and down. Qin Yi stared at the candlelight and lost consciousness for a long time.

He once promised himself to let Chu Jinyao live at ease in her life. He takes care of official affairs. Chu Jinyao only needs to be a boudoir daughter who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, and will become an official wife in the future. Her husband and son-in-law will have a prosperous career, and her son will be on the same path. She was so pampered and happily living this life in a muddle.

He once thought he could do it.

But the facts left Qin Yi speechless, and he didn't even dare to face it.

He is the Prince of the East Palace, he is the backbone of the army, he has too much family and country to consider, so unknowingly, he neglected the person he had vowed to protect. Attacking Tatar, fighting against the imperial brother, dealing with the forces in the court, remotely controlling the situation in Beijing, he has so many things to do, and when Chu Jinyao was accused of fame and Mutu's property, he didn't know that, Chu Jinyao He didn't know when he was forced to make a side room.

Qin Yi felt terrified. If Wei Wu hadn't come to report, he would let these people go, what a big mistake he would cause?

Qin Yi sat alone in the tent for a long time. He thought a lot. Finally, he called out: "Come here, get ink."

In the Forbidden City, the golden lion is glaring, the dragon dances its claws, and the officials in the purple dress bowed their heads, solemnly and hurriedly shuttled on the white jade stone steps.

Outside the Wenyuan Pavilion in the east and south of the palace, personnel exchanges are becoming more and more regular. From the outside, this is really a humble little house, but everyone who enters and exits here is proud of it. There is no other reason. It is because this is the office of the cabinet, which is the highest ideal of the people below the world.

As Fan Zhengying walked all the way, everyone he saw on the road stopped respectfully, arched his hands, and called out with a smile on his face: "Fan Shoufu."

The Shoufu generation of emperor criticized the red, and often accompanied the emperor. It can be said that it is the highest place that literati in the past can go, and it is an example of scholars in the world. Fan Zhengying is over 60 years old, but this age is still very young for the cabinet, especially he is a bachelor of Wenyuange. Although Fan Zhengying is of high authority, he is cautious by nature, and when he meets people on the road, he always stops and nods and smiles no matter whether he is close or close. But today Fan Zhengying can't take care of it, he almost ran all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion.

The officials who greeted me on the road were all surprised when they met. Fan Shoufu is not hurried or slow at all times, even in the winter solstice Da Chaohe is slow, when will he see him take two steps faster? What happened today to make Fan Shoufu so anxious?

An official next to him reminded in a low voice: "It seems that the prince has received a letter."

The official was taken aback, and then he couldn't help but jumped up: "His Royal Highness is finally willing to come back?"

The other party shook his head unpredictably: "Only Fan Shoufu knows this."

After Fan Zhengying arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, he asked as soon as he entered the door, "The prince has a letter? Where is the letter?"

Others hurriedly presented the letter to Fan Zhengying. Fan Zhengying was really his grandson and he was not so anxious when he got married. He hurriedly took it and waited after scanning, and said in disbelief: "The prince actually asked the emperor to give him a marriage. Canonize the princess?"

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was also very strange: "He doesn't write a letter for a year, so that's all, it's okay to send a letter, but let me give him a marriage?"

Of course, Qin Yi did not say in the letter that the emperor should "given" the marriage. What he said was: "That is, the fifth daughter of the Changxing Houfu was conferred, and Jin Yao of the Chu family was the crown prince and concubine."

The capital city a hundred miles away was turned upside down because of a letter from Qin Yi. In Datong City, after Qin Yi sent letters to the emperor, Shoufu, and Donggong Zhan Shi in turn, he became relaxed and relaxed. Even these days, his heart was faint. The anxiety was also gone. It was not so much that the concubine's incident forced him to express his stance, but it was the practice of the Huailing County Prince's Mansion that finally gave him a reason to cut his head.

Hell concubine, the Lin family were really shameless, Qin Yi was completely annoyed, and he decided to do it himself. The people of the Lin family should roll as far as possible.

As for Chu Jinyao's thoughts... Oh, it doesn't matter. If Chu Jinyao still wanted to marry Lin Xiyuan even if she was kicked by a donkey, Qin Yi would even pull her out of the fire pit, and pour some water in her mind by the way.

Xiao Linzi and Wei Wu watched this earth-shattering marriage invitation be completed in front of their own eyes, and now their eyes were bigger than a copper bell, and they dared not say a word. After Qin Yi wrote the letter to Fan Shoufu, he laid out another piece of paper freely and wrote a letter to his subordinates. He ran his pen quickly, and after he finished writing, he stuffed it directly to Wei Wu: "Give this letter to Zhong Fushi, let him follow you back to Taiyuan, and solve these messy things."

Wei Wu took the letter with both hands and couldn't help asking: "What is the solution?"

Zhong Fu is really Jin Yiwei, and he is also an eunuch. The two of them are used to going up and down, but don't be tossed hard by the two of them.

Qin Yi snorted, thought for a while, and finally said, "Forget it, it's her adoptive father and adoptive mother. The eldest daughter of the Su family is also good to her, so don't give her a vengeance. That's it, just tap it, if Still unsure of the severity, I went to ask the princess."

Wei Wu was sweating violently when he heard this, and he had just delivered the letter, and the princess had already been called here. Wei Wu already understood the importance, he bowed backwards: "The slave understands, the slave retires."

Qin Yi's mood was much better than before, and he even said "um" with Wei Wu. Xiao Linzi stood by and watched, slandering silently in her heart. The prince was still worried that the heavy hand was making it difficult for Ms. Chu to do it, but when he treated them, how could he never worry about the heavy hand?

Mrs. Chu was right. Seven or eight days later, the county mansion sent someone to be a lobbyist, and it was Chu Zhu who served as a lobbyist.

Chu Zhu is the Lin family’s daughter-in-law and the Chu family’s aunt. She returned to her natal family as a married daughter. She would neither be presumptuous nor noticeable. It was indeed extremely appropriate. But Chu Zhu was already married and had children in the palace of Huailing County. The roots have been moved, and the old princess was not afraid that Chu Zhu would not go to the palace.

And after Chu Zhu knew what Mrs. Chu had said to the old concubine that day, she also complained about Mrs. Chu. She sat in the Rongning Hall and kept complaining to Mrs. Chu: "Mother, you are really true. If you have anything to say, how can you give your ancestors a shame? Because of this, I haven't been caught in the past few days. My mother-in-law and the princess made a run."

Old Madam Chu thought that her daughter was also begging for her life under the old princess, and she said that she could not help but relax a lot. Mrs. Chu said: "I was not thinking about it that day. But so was your mother-in-law. What was she talking about? She clearly said that Jin Yao could be the concubine of the world. When things happened, she suddenly became a concubine and demoted her to a concubine. Is this something people do?"

Chu Zhu heard it but disagreed: "Mother, just tell me what you said. You can't say that outside. Sister-in-law and their sisters are about to fly into a phoenix. His own brother is a side concubine, this is a good thing for how many people have robbed their heads, and you and the eldest brother are still not happy?"

Seeing that the corners of Chu Zhu's eyes were full of brows, Mrs. Chu couldn't help asking, "The county owner's business has been decided?"

"The purpose of the palace has not yet come down, but the old lady of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has already agreed, saying that she will enter the palace and speak for the county lord. What kind of people is that in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, since their family has agreed, it must be It's stable."

Mrs. Chu was curious: "How many things did you give to the old lady who can tell the town of Beihou Mansion?"

Chu Zhu pointed a finger, and Mrs. Chu was speechless: "So many?"

"It's more than that. These four sets of clothes are not counted. Money is actually a trivial matter. This time I was able to catch up with Mrs. Qi because of a favor of my mother-in-law in her early years. This time, thanks to others, if it weren't for her and The old lady Qi is familiar with each other and can speak in front of the old lady, otherwise, no matter how much we send, the old lady will not be able to hand it in front of her."

So it turned out to rely on the favor of the old princess in her early years. No wonder the old princess's attitude was so arrogant last time. Changxing Houfu was not able to help in this matter. No wonder the old princess was not satisfied with Chu Jinyao and wanted to choose another one.

Chu Zhu and Mrs. Chu were talking privately inside, and the juniors also sat outside, relatively speechless.

This time Chu Zhu came back and brought Lin Xining and Lin Baohuan. Lin Baohuan was okay, but Lin Xining was in a daze, looking restless.

"Cousin Ning, what's wrong with you?" Six girls noticed Lin Xining's abnormality and asked with concern.

Lin Xining returned to his senses, he couldn't help but glanced in Chu Jinmiao's direction, and finally forced himself to withdraw his gaze.

Chu Jinmiao said that she had never met Su's parents. Lin Xining didn't tell her, but he did.

He came out to call someone at that time, just in time to see Chu Jinmiao turning his back to him, bowing his head and saying something to the Su family couple. Lin Xining didn't know what was going on at the time. He only thought that they were a pair of servants. Chu Jinmiao might have ordered them to do something. It happened to be calling him inside. Lin Xining didn't have time to talk to Chu Jinmiao, so he went straight back. Therefore, Chu Jinmiao did not know his existence.

Later, when Lin Xining saw the father and mother Su from Mrs. Chu, he realized that it was wrong. With the last hope, he deceived himself and asked Chu Jinmiao: "Cousin, you really don't know these two people, and you don't know anything at all. Have you seen them?"

The answer later was self-evident. Lin Xining doubted himself at that moment. What kind of person did he like during these years? Does he really understand Chu Jinmiao?

Lin Xining couldn't think of it, nor dared to think about it. After he returned home, he had been confused, and vaguely heard that the marriage between his older brother and Chu Jinyao seemed to have changed. Lin Xining knew that his eldest brother liked Chu Jinyao very much. He had secretly prepared for this for a long time. If he had a bath at the last moment, it would be too cruel to Lin Xiyuan.

Lin Xining knew that as long as he and the old princess, the county concubine, and even Lin Xiyuan talked about Chu Jinmiao, the marriage between Lin Xiyuan and Chu Jinyao would immediately turn around. Lin Xining went to Lin Xiyuan, but the words reached his throat, and finally gave up.

He is not willing. Just be the last time he is dependent on his favorite four cousins, this time he can only apologize to the eldest brother and fifth cousin, this is what he owes them.

When going out today, Chu Zhu secretly asked him if he wanted to go further with Chu Jinmiao and change from cousin to husband and wife. Lin Xining was startled, and was rare in silence.

Finally, Lin Xining told Chu Zhu not to mention this matter again and let him think about it for himself.

Lin Xining cruelly deceived his beloved elder brother for Chu Jinmiao, and watched the eldest brother miss Chu Jinyao. Lin Xining was too guilty. Now when he saw Chu Jinmiao, he only felt that a cloud of anger was colliding in his chest, but he couldn't find the way out for a long time. Lin Xining didn't want to face Chu Jinmiao anymore, but he was too obvious before. Now once he resists talking to Chu Jinmiao, let alone Chu Jinmiao, even others have discovered the anomaly.

Lin Xining's expression was tense, she didn't want to explain, and even Chu Jinmiao took the initiative to speak up. Chu Jinmiao was used to being stuck by Lin Xining. This was the first time she was coldly treated by Lin Xining. Chu Jinmiao felt unhappy, and the expression on his face immediately became ugly.

Chu Jinyao was not in the mood to pay attention to the lawsuit between these two people. In fact, Chu Jinyao was not interested in anything these days. She even began to doubt the rules of conduct that she believed in before. She was down-to-earth and lenient. Is it really wrong?

Chu Jinyao was in a trance, she seemed to hear the voice of Su's father and Su's mother. Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then saw that everyone around was looking out. Only then did Chu Jinyao realize that she hadn't had any hallucinations and that it was indeed Su's father and mother who had come.

But this time, Su's father and Su's mother did not come by themselves, and there were several other people walking with them. Chu Jinyao narrowed her eyes when she saw one of them's clothes.

Flying fish clothing, Jinyiwei.

How could Su's father and Su's mother provoke these evil stars?
