The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

After Xiao Linzi finished speaking, Qin Yi did not answer. Xiao Linzi looked at Qin Yi's face, and carefully probed: "His Royal Highness, although you can't see each other before marriage, you have already come to Taiyuan. If you don't go to Yue Zhang's house to sit, it seems impossible."

As expected, Qin Yi's complexion looked much better. He glanced back at Xiaolinzi and nodded and said, "You are reasonable."

Xiao Linzi immediately said, "The prince is really well-mannered, he said that no one is perfect, the prince is the perfect one! Wait, the prince, the servant will go to the empress...Ah no, Changxing Hou's mansion will post. "

Qin Yi's eyebrows remained unchanged, and he glanced at Xiao Linzi angrily: "Flatching, go away."

"Hey." Xiao Linzi responded crisply and ran down hesitantly.

What is the most important thing for a qualified confidant eunuch? Of course it's eyesight. Xiao Linzi immediately sent the post to Changxing Hou's Mansion, feeling that he was too witty while sending it.

Chu Jinyao sat on the kang by the window, holding the unfriendly eyes of the two palace maids, gently but firmly letting Su Hui into the house.

After the two mothers arrived at the Hou Mansion, naturally they soon knew about Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao's mistake. Their first reaction was absurdity. Women who were going to enter the palace’s inner courtyard were already the bottom line if they had not been raised strictly in the capital. How could they be raised by a vulgar peasant woman in a poor country? But now, the imperial decree of marriage has been announced to the world, and it is too late to say anything. The two mothers can only endure their dissatisfaction and admit it, and instead demand Chu Jinyao more stringently, and strive to "miss Chu Jinyao." "The upbringing evil makes up for it.

Chu Jinyao heard news from the concierge today that it was a woman who claimed to be Su Hui who wanted to see Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao was too busy to agree, and asked to bring Su Hui over. The two mothers disagreed from the moment they heard the news, but Chu Jinyao spoke kindly, but his attitude was very persistent. The two mothers found that Chu Jinyao did not waver, and they did not dare to force Chu Jinyao too much, so they had to leave Chu Jinyao angrily.

After Su Hui came in, Chu Jinyao greeted him personally, and smiled and pulled Su Hui to Xici. The two mothers looked at them and frowned again: "Fifth girl, you are the princess, and the guests you see are not only the imperial concubine, but also the imperial wife and the noble daughter of the family. How can you sit with these rough women? What?"

"Linglong." Chu Jinyao's expression remained unchanged, and she faintly ordered, "It's hot. Take your two mamas out for a cup of tea."

Linglong understood, came over to invite the two mothers, and took the opportunity to stuff money into the hands of the two mothers.

The grandmother squeezed, although the princess of the secret path is not obvious, but the shot is generous enough. After all, Chu Jinyao is the crown prince. Even with the queen's backing, the two of them didn't dare to offend Chu Jinyao too much. Now that they took the silver, they went out peacefully and Linglong.

After dismissing these two annoying spirits, Chu Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said to Su Hui: "Sister, don't worry about them, they are from the palace. Everything feels rustic. We are all pricked. I'm used to it."

Su Hui smiled faintly and said, "I heard people say that you were given a marriage to the prince and became a prince?"

Chu Jinyao has become accustomed to these words these days, and has become numb to words such as the prince and the princess, but when her own relatives were told from Su Hui, Chu Jinyao still gave birth to a trace of shame. Her cheeks were red, and she nodded invisibly, "Yes. Sister, don't worry about this, our sisters still get along as before."

Su Hui's smile gradually faded. She slowly said, "How can this be the same? You were originally a maid of the Hou Mansion. You are a world away from ours. Now you are a princess, how can we climb high? of."

Chu Jinyao was taken aback for a moment, and shouted in disbelief: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Su Hui sighed, with sincere regret on her face: "Yaoyao, you are different from us. I am here today to say goodbye to you. I have already resigned from the Yun Weaving and Embroidery Workshop. I have discussed with your brother-in-law. We both have hands and feet, and can't do anything, how can we always rely on you to help."

"How can this be called receiving assistance, obviously you are helping me..."

"Yaoyao, I know your kindness, but this is the truth. There are many people without me, who is not good at the shopkeeper Wei, why should it be me? You are now a princess, I am really happy for you, so It shouldn’t be a drag on you. The mother was right. You are different in status, so how can you always deal with women like me. Once or twice, it’s okay, but after a long time, someone will definitely say you, maybe The prince is not happy either."

This was like a bolt from the blue. After Chu Jinyao experienced the initial shock and bewilderment, his thoughts slowly returned to the right track. She looked directly at Su Hui with a pair of eyes, and asked bluntly: "Sister, are you saying this because of Su Sheng?"

Su Hui opened her mouth and wanted to deny it, but in the end she said nothing. She sighed: "Yaoyao, I'm not to blame you, you did the right thing. Su Sheng is not learning and skillful, and he still makes trouble. He should beat him well. Change his fame and fame, let him He is sober and sober. From now on, he will farm the land honestly and stop imagining being a big official to make a lot of money. We are farmers, so we should be honest and we should not think about these things."

Chu Jinyao suddenly turned her head, her eyes widened and she refused to let the tears flow, but her voice became crying: "You obviously still blame me."

"Really not." Su Hui said, "You did the right thing. Parents and their mothers are not right, so let people teach them a lesson. You are not wrong, it is us who are wrong. Now the gap between our two identities is getting bigger and bigger. It’s no longer suitable for continued contact. If we continue to communicate in such a chaotic and unclear manner, I’m afraid that our two’s appetites will grow, and in the end it will ruin my original relationship with you and make it difficult for you to do it at your husband’s house. So just Well, you go far and high and become your prince, while your brother-in-law and I go to find a living by ourselves. Our two sisters are living well. Although we can't meet each other, we know that we are living well. Isn't this better than growing resentment in the end? "

Chu Jinyao did not speak, but Su Hui saw him and continued to persuade: "Yaoyao, when you grow up, you have to have your own little family. In the future, His Royal Highness will be your dearest person. My commoner sister, It’s time to leave."

Chu Jinyao felt more saddened in her heart, not because of what Su Hui said, on the contrary, Chu Jinyao knew that Su Hui was right, and that's why she was more saddened. Su Hui is a very good elder sister. When they were young, the two of them depended on each other. As a person without blood relationship, Su Hui's behavior is very rare. Chu Jinyao was grateful to Su Hui, and treated Su Hui as a sister in her heart. She really wanted Su Hui to live a better life.

But growth is cruel. When she was a child, Su Hui smiled and let Chu Jinyao grow up quickly. Chu Jinyao also wanted to grow up quickly and live a good life with her closest relatives. However, no one told her that when she grows up, what is waiting for her is not reunion, but separation.

The closest people once had their own families, and they inevitably drifted away from her. Chu Jinyao himself doesn't mind being said, but her brother-in-law must not want Su Hui to come to Chu Jinyao often, and the prince, I am afraid the same.

Chu Jinyao was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice, not knowing who he was speaking to: "Sister, you will definitely have a good time with your brother-in-law in the future."

Su Hui smiled: "You too, have a good time with the prince. He is the prince and grandson, different from us. Don't be stubborn against him, try to restrain your temper and follow the prince more..."

Su Hui is like an ordinary folk sister, Yin Yin instructs her sister to get along with her husband and wife, and wants her sister to live in her own family. Chu Jinyao smiled bitterly when she heard it. The place she was going to was not an ordinary home. How could she dare to call the prince a husband-in-law? The crown prince, the word concubine is the best proof that she is not the prince’s wife, she is just his concubine.

However, facing Su Hui who was devoted to planning her future life, Chu Jinyao didn't say anything. She looked at Su Hui with an eager and happy face, nodded slightly and smiled: "My sister said that, I took it all down."

At the end of the day, Su Hui realized that she had said too much. She laughed and said: "A couple has a couple's treatment. After you go to the palace, you should get close to the prince. If you have anything to say, just talk to the prince. If my husband-in-law is willing to stand by your side, it's easy to say anything. As for those in the concubine's room..."

Su Hui sighed helplessly, and looked at Chu Jinyao with some regret: "You are a regular wife, so you don't have to compete with those Yingyingyanyan. The most important thing is the prince. Be generous when appropriate and let the prince know you. The virtuous, when he is just married, he is willing to respect you, and quickly find a way to conceive a child. With his own blood, the next day will be difficult."

Outsiders are clamoring about Chu Jinyao's luck, only those close to her will consider her future days. Chu Jinyao became more sorrowful after hearing this. She smiled and held Su Hui's hand, with a slight force: "I know."

"You will be the only one in the future. Life is yours. You take care of yourself and live your life well."

"Yeah. Sister, too..."

"Don't cry, there is nothing to cry about, who grows up is not like this. You are going to the capital in the future, I should stay in Taiyuan for the rest of my life, although I won't see each other in the future, but my sister is a princess, I am sure every day I can hear your news. As long as you have a good life, I will feel at ease when I hear from the market rumors." Su Hui stood up and smiled heartily at Chu Jinyao, "Okay, time is almost up. I'm leaving."

Chu Jinyao endured her tears and got up to send Su Hui out. Chu Jinyao knew that this family could never see each other again. They were not sisters, they were better than sisters, but because of their identity, Su family, fortune, etc., they had to part ways. In difficult times, they depended on each other for their lives, and when the two people's lives had improved, they had to take the initiative to avoid and cut off contact. It's not that we can't be rich and honorable, but because it's good for both parties.

Chu Jinyao sent Su Hui to the gate of the courtyard, and the two palace mothers would not let Chu Jinyao go out. Chu Jinyao could only stand still and watch Su Hui gradually walk away eagerly. Seeing that Su Hui was about to turn, Chu Jinyao couldn't help shouting: "Sister, take care!"

Su Hui turned her head, smiled and waved to Chu Jinyao, yelled "You too", then turned the corner and left.

Chu Jinyao stretched her neck as best as she could, but still couldn't see anything. Chu Jinyao slackened and murmured inaudibly: "She's gone."

Linglong accompanied Chu Jinyao out. She saw this place and quietly supported Chu Jinyao, and said softly: "Girl, the sun is big outside, it's time to go back."

Chu Jinyao nodded and walked back obediently, but his expression was still startled. Kikyo wanted to please Chu Jinyao, and after a while, he ran over and said, "Girl, just now, grandma and aunt sent a message saying that they will return to the Hou Mansion the next day."

Chu Jinxian? Chu Jinyao's expression cheered up: "The eldest sister is coming back?"

"Yes." Kikyo smiled, "It must be because the girl has sealed the princess, the aunt and grandma are happy, and she is coming back to see the girl."

Hearing this good news, Chu Jinyao's depressed mood finally improved. She originally thought that the two sisters of the Su family and Chu family were very good to her and that she would have two relatives, but the world proved that only Chu Jinxian could get along with her for a long time. Origin and class are really cruel things.

Because Chu Jinxian was about to return, Chu Jinyao's mood turned clear, and she was busy preparing for a meeting ceremony for Chu Jinxian. The two mothers saw Chu Jinyao doing needlework on the pit near the window, and looked around for a long time, and found that Chu Jinyao's sitting posture and etiquette were impeccable. They couldn't pick out the thorn, and couldn't stop Chu Jinyao from letting her be a female actress, so they closed their mouths reluctantly, but their eyes still stuck to Chu Jinyao, staring at her every move. .

Chu Jinyao has been tortured for so long. Apart from anything else, his etiquette can be described as a leap forward. If she had some flaws in the past, she would be unbearable if she stood for a long time, but now she won’t. She has a calm demeanor and exquisite details. The two grandmothers who are clamoring about the so-called royal grace all the time are getting harder and harder to find. The reason punishes Chu Jinyao.

Sure enough, being beaten is the best channel for progress.

Chu Jinyao had just sewed two stitches, and the courtyard door rang. Before someone came into the house, Chu Jinyao's unique voice had been heard in Chu Jinyao's ears. Chu Jinyao had to sigh and put down the needle and thread.

"Fifth sister, are you in there?"

In fact, what the three girls said was all for nothing. Now Chu Jinyao really doesn't get out of the door. Except for going to ask Mrs. Chu and the Zhao family on time, the rest of the time is locked in the courtyard by the mother. The government knew that the fifth girl was learning the rules in her yard, and the third girl was just pretending to be close when she asked.

"I'm here." Chu Jinyao replied unhurriedly, "What's the matter with the third sister?"

Chu Jinyao's speech has also been deliberately corrected by the mother. The tone must not be fast or slow. It must have the grace of a concubine. The voice must not be high or low. If it is high, it is disrespectful in the palace. If it is low, it seems to be conscientious and demeaning. . Chu Jinyao did not suffer less for this, but the rattan did not know how much. Fortunately, she was hardworking and patient. The more she was beaten, the more she refused to admit defeat. She dared to correct her cruelly, and now she is gradually on the right track.

Although the third girl and Chu Jinyao are sisters in the same room, they are not close. Chu Jinyao used to live outside and was just found back last year. The three girls grew up under Changxinghou's eyelids, and there was an aunt who petted her alone. No matter how they looked at them, they would never get close.

But they were all guests. Chu Jinyao politely invited the third girl to the seat, and whispered to the maid: "Go get the fresh pastries and serve tea to the third girl."

The third girl first scanned Chu Jinyao's clothes, and then looked at the furnishings in her room. When the maid stepped back, the third girl said to Chu Jinyao a little bit sourly: "The fifth sister is not a princess. It’s the same. In just a few days, my sister’s overall temperament is different, and even the furnishings in the house are more expensive than ours."

Chu Jinyao's expression remained unchanged, and she corrected herself: "Sister, I have always been like this here."

"what?"

"You just haven't been here before, or you didn't pay attention when you came."

The third girl was embarrassed. She did not take Chu Jinyao seriously before. At that time, she wanted to please Changxing Hou, looking for a wishful man at the banquet. How could she see Chu Jinyao, the newly-returned sister in her eyes? But now, isn't it different from the past?

The third girl has a thick-skinned face. She immediately left these insignificant embarrassments behind her head, and continued to say to Chu Jinyao facelessly: "Fifth sister, I knew from the beginning that you are a blessed one. Chu Jinmiao was favored at the beginning. I'll talk to you in a moment. You see that you live in the northeast corner and become a self-contained courtyard. It is almost destined to be in the dark. The prince is in the east, and the north is the position of the venerable. Isn't this destined to be a princess!"

Chu Jinyao was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the three girls, and asked directly: "Xie Sanjie Jiyan. Why are you here today?"

The three girls consciously got close, so they laughed and said: "Fifth sister, you see the saying that sisters are of the same heart, how can outsiders compare to sisters! Fifth sister, you can marry to the east palace and everything is good, only one point, you I'm alone, unaccompanied, and there will be no one to speak in the future. Don't you think Ehuang and Nyuying is still a good story..."

Chu Jinyao had understood it, and the several big maids behind him were even more angry and annoyed, and almost blasted the three girls out. Chu Jinyao was still calm. She put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at the three girls and asked, "Sister, do you want to say these things for yourself or for whom?"

The three girls looked stagnant, and said with a grin: "Of course, you can say whatever you want. Can you still speak for others? The fifth sister can really laugh."

Chu Jinyao sighed softly: "I understand, Third Sister, let's go first, I will never agree with what you said."

The three girls might not be happy to think of Chu Jinyao, but she did not expect that Chu Jinyao would dare to refuse directly. The third girl was stunned, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Don't you remember the female character and the virtue, jealousy is the rule of seven..."

"Even if it is a female virtue, it should be judged by His Royal Highness." Chu Jinyao also raised her voice suddenly, holding up a teacup to see the guests off, "Three sisters, let's go, no need to say. If you really want to be a companion, then Just let His Royal Highness speak to me. As long as His Royal Highness has orders, I will never frown. His Royal Highness will do whatever he says."

"Hey, you..." The third girl had an ugly face, but she had a thick-skinned face. The third girl remembered her aunt's words, and knew that Chu Jinyao was a quasi-prince, and no one could offend Chu Jinyao. So she turned her eyes and immediately became again. With a smile on his face, "Why is the Fifth Sister? My sister is naturally for your own good. Only then did I come up with a way to harm myself but benefit you. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Seeing that Chu Jinyao was still cold, the three girls couldn't get off the stage for a while, she stood up and smiled to herself: "Since my sister is busy, then I won't bother you. By the way, your Royal Highness will want to Come on, Sister Five, get ready soon."

Chu Jinyao didn't want to care about her, but when she heard the three girls, Chu Jinyao couldn't help turning her head: "What are you talking about, the prince is coming?"

"Yeah, the post has been delivered, and now the family is preparing without touching their feet."

"The prince is also the day after tomorrow? Isn't the eldest sister coming back the day after tomorrow..."

The three girls looked at Chu Jinyao and smiled, and deliberately blinked at Chu Jinyao: "Yeah, otherwise the fifth sister thinks why the eldest sister has set this day, she and the Zhao family are both shrewd."

Chu Jinyao completely lowered her face and said, "It's getting late, Linglong, send my third sister out."

Linglong sighed immediately, half polite and half tough to "send" the three girls out. Chu Jinyao sat in the room by herself, still holding her breath after thinking about it.

The three girls dared to say such things to her alone. Chu Jinyao didn't believe Mrs. Chu, and the Zhao family didn't know, maybe his father Chang Xinghou also taught her silently. Chu Jinyao was really angry. They didn't want to say these words of losing shares, but they wanted to test what Chu Jinyao meant, so they pushed the three girls out to take the lead. After Chu Jinyao's anger passed, she suddenly felt weak. She hadn't married the prince yet, and her family had already played with her. Chu Jinyao couldn't imagine how the prince came here all these years.

Chu Jinyao suddenly faintly felt the meaning of husband and wife being in the same body. She used to know that she was going to marry the prince and be a concubine, but in fact, she had no feelings about it. She knew it intellectually, but in her heart she didn't feel that she was going to marry, and the other party was still the crown prince of a country. To this day, it seemed that someone suddenly broke the transparent cover outside Chu Jinyao, and Chu Jinyao suddenly realized what the three words "Princess Concubine" really meant.

It means that she is the prince's concubine, and the prince's thoughts will be her thoughts. The prince's Ronghua may not necessarily be Ronghua, but the prince must be unlucky. This also means that her family began to speculate on her before she officially closed the door.

Chu Jinyao sighed quietly.

By the third day, Chu Jinxian's carriage arrived early. Chu Jinxian was originally a demure temperament, and became more dignified after marrying. With her hands folded, Zhu Cui towering high, she walked upright on the corridor. After seeing Chu Jinyao, she smiled slightly: "Just wait inside, why are you coming out?"

"I'll pick up my sister." After Chu Jinyao smiled and said, she saluted Chu Jinxian and Zhao Jia, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Chu Jinxian hadn't moved yet, Zhao Jiazhi had already reached out and stopped Chu Jinyao: "Prince concubine can't do this."

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned." Chu Jinyao smiled slightly and said, "What's more, I haven't been canonized yet, so I can't be regarded as a princess, but the eldest sister is my relatives."

Chu Jinxian was also said to have laughed. She and Zhao Jiazhi broke up at the Chuihuamen, and followed Chu Jinyao to the back: "I can't come back when you were given a marriage. I can't ask you until today. In the past few days, you Are you still used to it?"

Chu Jinyao knew that Chu Jinxian was asking about court rules, she nodded and said, "Thanks to the dedication of the mother, everything is fine."

"Grandma?" Chu Jinxian frowned calmly and asked, "Grandma is..."

"It's the powerful person next to the Queen Empress."

Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao looked at each other, and already understood the doorway, she sighed inwardly, and ignored them. After Chu Jinyao accompanied Chu Jinxian to Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Zhao, they sat in the companion room and talked. The difference in background and class can indeed affect many things. The day before yesterday, Su Hui told Chu Jinyao, most of it was that some husbands and wives get along and do housework and other market principles, and when Chu Jinxian spoke, he taught her to balance the backyard.

"If you go to the East Palace in the future, it is inevitable to have a concubine. It is estimated that the family will prepare a companion room for you. It is the same for whoever opens the face, but you must remember that there is a clear distinction between public and private. Concubine is a concubine. If you are a competent person, don't allow her to take any other thoughts. If you make up your mind to give it to the prince, don't arrange important work for her."

Chu Jinyao nodded her head when she was taught. Since she was a child, Chu Jinxian was raised as a lady and a mistress. The experiences she said are of great use to Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinxian continued: "Also, don't be too eager to give... to your husband's son-in-law, you are the crown prince, and the crown prince will stay in your house for a month after marriage. Don't be caught by people with ulterior motives. If you're fooled, you'll be stuffed with the prince during this time. You have to take advantage of this time to get the prince into a cage. Don't be in a hurry to take care of small things. Don't listen to others wearing virtuous top hats. Your brain gets hot. Just accept it. If you set up one, you have to set up a second. In the end, it's endless, and it's you who cried."

Chu Jinyao felt that it made sense, and Chu Jinxian, who was known as a model of female morality, could even say such sharp words. But other than that, Chu Jinyao was still very embarrassed. She blushed and said, "Sister, what are you talking about."

"This is the rule in the imperial palace. One month after marriage, and the fifteenth day of the new year, they are all decent in the main room. Don't just worry about being shy, just keep it in your mind."

Chu Jinxian almost stretched out her finger and nodded Chu Jinyao's forehead to speak. Chu Jinyao avoided it in embarrassment, and said dissatisfied: "I remember."

Chu Jinxian looked at Chu Jinyao and sighed. Her sister had been up and down since she was a child. Although she was found by her father, she was delayed when she was a child. In the way of housekeeping, wives and concubines, it is always better to watch these grown-up local girls since childhood. And Chu Jinyao went to such a place that cannibalize people without spitting out bones... Chu Jinxian looked at Chu Jinyao in a complicated mood, really worrying about not getting married well, and worrying about getting married too well.

In fact, the management of the concubines should be taught by the mother of the Zhao clan, but Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao did not dare to expect the Zhao clan. In the end, the eldest sister Chu Jinxian could only perform the duties of the mother on his behalf. Chu Jinxian wanted to break apart and talk to Chu Jinyao carefully. However, as soon as she started talking, the little maid outside ran over to pass the message: "Old lady, the prince is here!"

The author has something to say: Chu Jinyao is gradually adapting to the change of identity, the changes in the people around her, and her changes have been reflected in a single day in the form of words. From the deep house lady who doesn't care about the important affairs of the Hou Mansion, to the princess who is alone, Chu Jinyao also has to grow up by herself.

For the current Chu Jinyao, the prince and Qi Ze are two people, and Qi Ze is about the same as the white moonlight, and the prince is a strange stranger... Suddenly it is not clear who put the green hat on whom. [ Yun Bei] [What did you say I laughed, did I laugh? Hhhhh...]
