The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 63: Imperial edict

Chu Jinyao was standing in the corner, and the county lord brought people fiercely. The maid and attendants stopped her when she stopped.

Chu Jinyao glanced back and forth, and she felt more amused than afraid. This is what the head of the prefectural palace, a high-ranking lady who might want to seal the crown prince, did it, just as childish as the children at the entrance of their village.

Chu Jinyao thought this way, and said: "The county lord, don’t you feel naive for this kind of child-threatening trick? And you keep saying that I’m rude to the princess mansion, the county lord, you say this. Before, think about what your family has done. Could it be that your family can only bully people, and others can't even listen to something wrong?"

Chu Jinyao finished speaking in angrily, and sullenly drank, "Get out of the way, I'm going out."

The county owner was very angry, his eyes widened, and Chu Jinyao was not a person who would bow his head and say good things. In the stalemate, a woman standing outside the pavilion said: "They are all going out to the banquet. If you go out happily, you should also go back happily. If you have anything to say, please say it kindly, and if you have nothing to say, just do your own things. , What is it called blocking like this."

Chu Jinyao was very surprised. Everyone watched the fire from the other side, but there were still people who dared to speak out? Chu Jinyao looked at the speaker and found that it was a tall girl, with a square face and heroic eyebrows. Although she looked lean, she might be a little stiff and not soft enough in the eyes of the elders.

But in Chu Jinyao's eyes, this girl dared to say something fair in front of everyone. She was really a very righteous person. With this woman speaking, the young lady from the host prefect’s family also hurried over and said with a smile: "The county chief, Chu Wu girl, you are all here. It’s windy outside, so let’s go inside and talk."

This is a relief. Miss Zhifu, as the host, making trouble at the banquet will only make her faceless, so even if she doesn't care about Chu Jinyao and the county lord at all, she can't say nothing.

Obviously someone passed the steps, but the county owner still felt unhappy and refused to follow the steps. The county owner didn't know what it meant to accept when they saw him, and Chu Jinyao was not afraid, so he looked at the county owner calmly and calmly.

There was unspeakable silence all around, and the girls onlookers were embarrassed and gloating. It's human nature to love to watch the excitement. They are scattered not far away, but want to see how the matter ends.

While the ladies were whispering, a person who looked like an attendant in a red dress walked over and smiled at the crowd: "Ladies, excuse me."

Everyone turned their heads in surprise, frowned, and let the maid hide in front of them, holding the kerchief and saying, "Who is so rude and how did you let the young man come into the hospital?"

It is rude for the ladies and ladies to entertain the guests, and it is very rude to let a foreigner like the small guard home come in. No wonder the girls all show disgusting expressions. Among the crowd, the county lord’s expression was completely different. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and couldn't help but walked down two steps: "Daddy Lin, why are you here?"

"Father-in-law!" These girls were even more surprised than they were before. It's not just surprise, it's more like shock. Miss Zhifu was even more stunned. How could there be a father-in-law in their family? Who can bring his father-in-law with him!

Xiao Linzi ignored the different attitudes of these women before and after. He still squinted, his eyes met Chu Jinyao, and said, "Five girls. County owner."

Chu Jinyao gave Xiaolinzi a half-doubt in return, but the county chief was so excited that she didn't care about it, so she immediately ran out of the pavilion and looked around.

Sure enough, across half of the lake, a young man stood under the corridor with his hand held down, looking towards this place. In the rain, the lake was filled with a vast white mist, which concealed the opponent's figure, but even so, through the rain curtain, the other party's aura that shocked the audience could be sensed.

"His Royal Highness?" Chu Jinyao whispered softly, almost thinking that she was stepping in a dream. Otherwise, how could she see the crown prince here who should be at the border?

After the patter of rain, Chu Jinyao vaguely felt that the prince and her looked at each other, and then quickly turned around, the noble and nonchalant side asked something, and then left without looking back. He walked through the corridor, and his figure was blocked by the verdant green trees, so he could not see it soon.

If it hadn't been for so many people to gasp, Chu Jinyao would definitely think he had an illusion.

Many people's hands were shaking, and their hearts were shaking. They held the hands of those around them and whispered excitedly: "That's the prince? How could the prince be here! My God, the prince is so young."

Yes, why is the prince here? Chu Jinyao's heart couldn't help but sink, was it because of the county owner? It seems that the matter of the county lord’s princess has really become?

Few ladies present are fools, what Chu Jinyao thought of, they naturally thought of it. This time, everyone looked at the county lord's eyes completely different, and there was faint enthusiasm among them. And the county owner, as early as the moment he saw the prince, his cheeks were almost bleeding.

The county owner was overjoyed, and more and more people surrounded the county owner. Xiao Linzi found that since his owner showed up, he, the grandfather-in-law, has no sense of existence. Xiao Linzi had to cough to remind the excited ladies that he has not left yet.

Xiao Linzi smiled and asked, "Ladies, the prince saw you around here, so he sent me to ask. I don't know what's the matter with you?"

Now who would talk about these trivial things, everyone immediately rushed back: "It's nothing big, father-in-law, don't worry."

"It's fine if it's nothing big." Xiao Linzi smiled meaningfully. From the corner of her eyes, Chu Jinyao turned and left, and then she sneered in her heart, glanced at the people here faintly, and left with a smile.

Chu Jinyao walked away quietly when everyone was close to Lin Gong. After leaving the place, Chu Jinyao sighed long.

Linglong only thought that Chu Jinyao was upset about the affairs of the county owner and the prefectural palace. Linglong didn’t know how to persuade such things. She had to say, “Girl, don’t be discouraged. Life is for people, even if They walk high, they may not be able to live well like girls. Don't worry, there is always a good relationship waiting for you."

"Such words, we can only say it for self-comfort." After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised as she watched the raindrops ticking under the eaves.

The matter between the county lord and the prince was done, then she, who dared to refuse the Huailing County Palace, and who was still taking the lead in public with the future prince concubine, must have nothing to do.

"Linglong, let's go outside."

"Yes."

Chu Jinyao walked aimlessly in the garden along the veranda with Linglong. She walked around a corner and suddenly found a person standing under the flowery shelf in front of her.

Green leaves covered the entire wooden frame, and safflowers fell in the middle of the pale green. The rain washes the green leaves of the safflower especially clean, the red the red, the green the greener. The fine raindrops passed through the gaps in the leaves, slowly and regularly dripping onto the ground. Because the outside is covered with leaves, the light inside the shelf is a bit dim, and people standing here seem to be shining.

"The son?"

"When I first walked to this place, I thought you must like it here."

Chu Jinyao was silent and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiyuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't you like it? Or, now you don't even want to talk to me."

"My son, men and women are not married, you and I are not real cousins, so I don't want to stay long. It's raining, take care of yourself, and I will retire first."

"Cousin Jin Yao," Lin Xiyuan said suddenly, "I'm sorry."

Chu Jinyao couldn't help but stop. This happened for so long. This was the first time she heard someone say to her, "I'm sorry."

"I thought it would be a good match, but I didn't expect that my self-righteousness would cause you so much trouble. I was wrong at the beginning. I have already asked my father for an order, and I will go to the capital to study and marry later. I don’t need to mention all these things about my concubine. I’m leaving in a few days, which means I won’t appear in front of you again.”

"The world's son is devoted to learning, it is admirable." Chu Jinyao said, "I wish the world's son a bright future, every step of the way."

Lin Xiyuan lowered his head and smiled indifferently after hearing these words. He stayed in the palace at the beginning for Chu Jinyao, but now he leaves the family for Chu Jinyao. How much he hopes to hear these words from his wife, but it is a pity that his life is ruined in the hands of his close relatives.

Lin Xiyuan didn't even know who to blame.

He heard the sound of rain hitting the leaves, and Chu Jinyao was standing far away from the flowers in a red dress and white dress today. The rain dripped around, and Chu Jinyao stood there quietly, the flower behind it seemed to suddenly lose its color, and it seemed to become more dense. Lin Xiyuan suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Chu Jinyao, a girl with beautiful eyebrows jumped from a tree like a bird. The white and purple skirt was unscrewed like a peacock, and his eyes instantly dazzled.

He was still thinking about who's little girl is so lively.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she became such a calm appearance. When she is standing there, she doesn't need to speak, but she can remind people of words such as flowers and flowers.

"Cousin Jin Yao, I shouldn't have come today, but I still want to see you again. This is the last time. I apologize to you on behalf of my family. I never thought that they would do such a thing."

"The son, the princess and the ancestors are all for your own good. What's the point of saying these. After all, we are not destined. You don't have to mention these words again."

"No destiny..." Lin Xiyuan seemed to be deeply hurt by these words. He stood in place with the cold residual rain, eyes long and sad. But Chu Jinyao walked for a blessing, turned and walked backwards.

"Jin Yao." Lin Xiyuan's voice came from behind as he passed through the larger and larger distance, "From the very beginning, I wanted to pick you up to me in a graceful manner with the gift of being a wife. Other than that , Never had any other thoughts. Even now."

When Linglong heard this, she was slightly anxious. Shi Zi's words were so blunt, she almost confessed her feelings to her face. After Chu Jinyao heard it, she was cruel and continued to walk forward without looking back.

But when Chu Jinyao turned the corner, she was immediately stunned.

Just now, she was attracted by the prosperous flower stand and she didn't pay attention. She continued walking along the corridor. After turning a corner, there was another cave.

Neither Chu Jinyao nor Lin Xiyuan noticed, there was a person standing just behind the corner of the corridor.

When Chu Jinyao saw the visitor, she was stunned for a few moments. After being stabbed quietly by Linglong, she woke up like a dream, and quickly bowed her head in salute: "His Royal Highness."

Qin Yi really didn't expect that Chu Jinyao had not seen it yet, but heard it first.

Xiao Linzi behind him was already looking forward to cutting off his ears.

He had stood far enough, and he promised that he didn't hear anything.

Xiao Linzi cried and felt more and more that the princess might not be okay, but he was afraid that it would be cold.

When Chu Jinyao heard this by a foreigner, he was still an outstanding foreigner, and his embarrassment blushed. Lin Xiyuan found that something was wrong, and when he walked over to see Qin Yi, he was also surprised.

Lin Xiyuan stretched out his hand calmly and wanted to send Chu Jinyao away. Qin Yi's gaze was almost immediately pinned to Lin Xiyuan's hand: "What are you doing?"

After Chu Jinyao found out, she quickly moved aside two steps.

Lin Xiyuan retracted his hand indifferently, and said, "See His Royal Highness. Why is His Royal Highness here?"

"You dare to ask me." Qin Yi sneered unconsciously. He put his chin on Chu Jinyao slightly and motioned, "You go first, I have something to say to him."

What's the matter with this tone... Chu Jinyao heard goose bumps all over her body. She didn't want to wait for a moment, so she immediately saluted and left by herself.

After walking out of the place, Linglong also let out a long sigh, and said with lingering fear: "Girl, the eldest son will not talk about it. Why do I think the prince is weird?"

Chu Jinyao sighed, "I think too."

She thought of the prince’s tone when she left, as if she was telling her wife... Chu Jinyao immediately interrupted her daring fantasies, and said to Linglong: “Forget it, this is not something we can manage. Let’s go first. We will go out soon. Don’t mention it to others.”

"I know it naturally."

However, the two of Chu Jinyao had just gone two steps away, and there was the sound of footsteps from behind, and a shrill voice sounded: "Five girls stay."

Xiao Linzi chased up from behind, gave Chu Jinyao kindly, took out something from his sleeve, and said: "Fifth girl, last time your jade pendant fell in the palace of Huailing County, the prince found the jade pendant. It's invaluable, but Silk Luo is not good. After the prince went back, he immediately ordered someone to make another one. This time he just found the opportunity to pass it to the girl."

Chu Jinyao couldn't help but let out a "ah": "It turns out that I couldn't find my golden silk Luozi last time. It was not lost, but by His Royal Highness..."

Xiao Linzi's smile remained unchanged, as if she could not feel what she was saying: "His Royal Highness felt bad, so she deducted it. This is a new silk thread. The prince ordered me to give it to the girl, and the girl can get a new one in the future. Up."

Dare you still have to wear this lug? Chu Jinyao and Linglong looked at each other quietly, feeling that they didn't know what to say. The prince not only detained her Yu Peiluo on his own initiative, but also asked her to replace it with the one he appointed?

Even noble people, there is no such unreasonable practice, right?

But he is the prince, he can.

Linglong clearly felt that this was nothing, it was extremely unruly, but in the end, she had to accept it in a good voice, and she didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction. Who dares to refuse the things the prince gave?

After watching Linglong accept it, Xiao Linzi put her hands in front of her with folded hands, slightly bent over, and smiled at Chu Jinyao: "Five girl, have you received a letter from Beijing in the past two days?"

"Beijing?" Chu Jinyao didn't know, so she looked at Xiao Linzi suspiciously.

Xiao Linzi knew that after the prince had finished taking care of the capital, he had to come to Taiyuan "by the way". But I didn't expect that they set off two days later than the father-in-law who passed the edict. They all arrived, but the edict was still on the way.

Xiao Linzi didn't want to say more. He mixed up what he did with the master, so he said: "Since it hasn't, the girl will wait two more days. For these two days, the girl can have fun outside." After the imperial decree, the royal rules are so strict that it might not be easy to go out.

Xiao Linzi threw a bunch of weird words, smiled at them, and turned back. Linglong looked at it for a while, and couldn't help it anymore: "Girl, do you think the prince..."

"Linglong." Chu Jinyao's voice became rare and severe, and she shouted sharply, "Don't talk nonsense."

But because of this, Chu Jinyao couldn't suppress the more and more obvious speculation in her heart, and she was shocked. The county lord was about to become the prince princess, but the father-in-law next to the prince told her like this... Chu Jinyao was really cold. She walked out of the garden restlessly, planning to go back to the banquet place and sit down. But as soon as they came out, they met a maid in front of them.

The maid looked anxious, and when she saw Chu Jinyao, she was obviously relieved: "Fifth girl, where have you been, let us find it. You come with me soon, the madam and the fourth girl have already cleaned up. Just wait for you to go back and you will be able to set off."

"set off?"

"Yes, the old lady sent someone to send a letter saying that there was a major event in the family, and asked everyone to go back immediately."

The maid who came to spread the letter knew only one thing and did not know the other. After seeing Chu Jinyao, she couldn't stand her temper and directly grabbed her and dragged her away. Chu Jinyao frowned, refrained from saying anything, and asked: "Did grandmother say something? It would be a bit rude to be a guest at someone else's house and leave without saying hello to the host."

"I didn't say specifically, the old lady only ordered the capital to do so, so that the lady and the girl can pack things and go back regardless of what they do."

About the capital... Chu Jinyao and Linglong looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Just now, Grandpa Lin asked if there was any letter from Beijing.

Chu Jinyao was hurriedly pulled to the second door. The carriage outside the door was already parked. As the maid said, everyone except Chu Jinyao had already packed up and got on the bus. Zhao looked at Chu Jinyao with some discomfort between his eyebrows, but he didn't say to her at the door of the outsider's house. He just said indifferently: "Just wait for you, get in the car, we're leaving."

All the ladies and ladies of the Chu family rushed back to the Hou Mansion in such a rush and ignorance. After the carriage stopped, Zhao walked out of the carriage with the help of her mother-in-law. As she walked, she asked: "What's the matter, why do you call us back in such a hurry?"

"Madam, please don't delay, Lord Hou and the old lady are already in the main hall. The father-in-law has been standing for a long time, and if you let the father-in-law wait, I am afraid that we will condemn our Hou Mansion."

"Passing the decree?" Zhao cried out sturdily and uncontrollably. Chu Jinyao choked in her heart for some reason, but the other girls didn't expect this to happen in their dreams, and immediately became noisy.

"Even a father-in-law came to our house? What is the decree and to whom, is it the imperial decree?"

Zhao cried out: "Don't say anything, just follow me."

The Zhao family hurried to the front hall with a bunch of girls in a panic. This is the tallest and largest building in the Hou Mansion. It only starts at weddings and funerals, and there are few people in a year. And now, the door of this courtyard that did not allow juniors to set foot in easily was opened wide, and there were already a lot of people standing inside. Mrs. Chu and Chang Xinghou were sitting at the top, speaking with a man in yellow clothes.

After Zhao and others came in, they did not dare to lift their heads and bowed to their sins. Old Madam Chu scolded, "Why did you come back?"

"The road was delayed." Zhao explained in a low voice.

Chu Jinmiao said in a low voice: "This is not to blame us, it is obviously a person who wasted our time."

When the other girls heard the voice, they all glanced at Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao's expression was calm, without showing the slightest timidity.

"Okay." Mrs. Chu didn't want to say more in front of the maid-in-law. She raised her voice and said sternly, "Since everyone is here, we should all stand behind."

Then Mrs. Chu looked at the father-in-law in Huangyi and smiled flatteringly: "Our younger generation was rude and made the father-in-law laugh."

The father-in-law in Huangyi laughed and didn't say anything. I don't know if it was an illusion. Chu Jinyao felt that the father-in-law had deliberately swept across their row of girls and seemed to be counting something.

The father-in-law and the Changxing Hou and the old lady Chu cleared his throat after a few moments, and said sharply: "Changxing Hou's Mansion listens to the decree."

Mrs. Chu and Chang Xinghou stood at the front, followed by the men in the family, arranged by age and generation. When all the men had finished standing, it was the woman. Chu Jinyao and the sisters were standing together, and even the seven-year-old Eighth girl was held by the nanny, quietly standing behind. Behind the young ladies of Chu Jinyao, Wuyangyang was another slave.

Level by level, with clear levels.

Hearing the words of the father-in-law in Huangyi, everyone in the Changxing Hou Mansion immediately leaned over and bowed down respectfully and neatly: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"The emperor said: Changxing Marquis has been loyal and good for generations, guarding the frontiers and defending the frontiers, and is my courtier's minister. His daughter Chu is gentle, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am very happy to hear about it.... Now the prince is suitable for marriage When you marry, you should choose a virtuous daughter and partner. It is the fifth daughter of the Chu family to be in the bestowry. She has both talents and virtues. I want the beauty of adulthood. With all marriage, we specially match Chu Jinyao, the fifth daughter of the Chu family, as the crown prince. The Imperial Court and the Qintian Supervisor..."

The rest of Chu Jinyao can no longer hear, in fact, no one can continue to listen to what is written under the imperial edict.

What did the father-in-law just say? He said that the emperor personally made an decree and canonized Chu Jinyao as the royal concubine.

The crown prince and concubine?

Chu Jinyao was dumbfounded on the spot, she was the prince? Chu Jinyao made the most absurd and malicious speculation, and almost thought that in this life he would still not be able to escape the fate of being unfair and making clothes for others. But she just heard that she actually replaced the county lord and was named the crown prince and concubine?

She is afraid that she is not dreaming!

And Mrs. Chu felt that a shocking thunder hit her Sky Spirit cover, and she almost couldn't hold her knees.

Wasn't the county owner of the Huailing County Palace fighting for the palace? Why did the princess go to their house?

After the father-in-law in Huangyi finished his chanting, he found these people kneeling on the ground, as if they were stupid. There was no movement for a long time. The father-in-law coughed slightly and said in a long voice: "Changxinghou, take the decree."
