The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

In February, the palace is full of lights and festoons. Today is the day when the eldest princess comes out of the pavilion.

Chu Jinyao dressed in the prince's court dress, smiled and patted the hand of the princess, then moved aside and asked Xi Po to put a red hijab on the princess. When the ceremony in the palace was over, Chu Jinyao set a cart to Princess Runing's mansion.

The eldest princess was canonized as Princess Runing, and was dropped to Chai'an, the youngest son of Hou Chai's family in Yichun. Runing is the first princess in the palace, and her wedding has even been asked by the emperor many times. It is naturally very grand. As Princess Runing's eldest sister-in-law, no one can lack her. Chu Jinyao personally came to the princess's palace to accompany the princess to dress up and change clothes, and then accompany her to the princess's mansion to suppress the scene. Having the prince married personally, this is simply the most fascinating thing in the weddings of princesses in the past.

Even though Chu Jinyao is the sister-in-law of the eldest princess, she is also the princess, and she will never arrive early. When her frame of honor arrived at Princess Runing's Mansion, many people were attending the wedding banquet. The Chai family had already received the news, and they all waited at the second gate.

This is the difference between marrying a royal daughter. The home of ordinary weddings and wedding banquets is in the in-law's family, but the princess is different. The princess has her own princess house and does not live with her in-law's family. Therefore, on the wedding day, the real guests are in the princess's mansion. Although Yichunhou's mansion also held a banquet, a few people have to go to the princess's mansion to entertain the royal guests.

In the banquet room, the female relatives dragged their homes, Ben was talking happily, and suddenly heard that the crown princess was coming. The lobby was silent for a moment, and everyone looked towards the door.

Chu Jinyao was wearing a big red prince's dress and walked slowly, accompanied by Mrs. Chai's wife. The lady inside saw that she was indeed a prince, and immediately brought her daughters to Chu Jinyao to salute Chu Jinyao: "See Princess."

Greetings one after another, a lady noticed that the princess had actually smiled in her direction, her face suddenly radiant. However, in fact, there are too many people saying hello, and Chu Jinyao can't even remember the faces of these people.

She visited the bride in the new house first, and then returned to the front hall for a banquet. Now that the auspicious time has not arrived, and the banquet has not yet begun, this period of time is precious social time for the female families.

There are countless people who want to talk to Chu Jinyao. As Princess Runing’s sister-in-law, Chu Jinyao wants to support her sister-in-law, so she smiled to the grandmother of the Chai family throughout the whole process, and even several girls from the Yichun Houfu came forward to salute her. Also called and said a few words.

For a while, the faces of the people in the Yichun Hou Mansion were all bright, and the little girls of the Chai family made a lot of dignity in front of the little sisters, and they were very happy. Being relatives with the royals is different. Before, they didn't have the opportunity to talk to the princess.

The wives who came to invite An were in an endless stream, wave after wave, especially when they brought their daughters, and pulled them over to show Chu Jinyao. When Chu Jinyao saw so many red girls at once, it was really hard to see her eyes. Taking advantage of the group of people to go down, Chu Jinyao glanced in the air, and hurriedly led the people out.

These ladies are really good at talking. I don't know how they are. Anyway, Chu Jinyao, who is listening, is too tired. Chu Jinyao took people to rest in a clean place, and finally felt her ears come to life. Suddenly a voice came from outside the pavilion: "Prince Concubine."

Chu Jinyao was taken aback when hearing this voice, and stood up in surprise: "Elder sister!"

Chu Jinxian smiled and walked over, stopping at a place three steps away and was about to pick up a salute, but was stopped by Chu Jinyao: "Sister, what are you doing!"

"The courtesy can't be abandoned, you are now a princess, you can't be careless."

"You're still a pregnant woman, where can I let you salute me?" Chu Jinyao said angrily, and happily greeted Kikyo to take the blanket, and carefully helped Chu Jinxian sit down.

"Sister, my nephew should be five months old, right?"

"Yes." When talking about the child, Chu Jinxian also smiled softly, with a soft maternal light on her face. "Last year, I was out for three months before daring to send a letter to my home. At that time, my baby was unstable and I couldn't go out. Catch up with your big wedding."

Although it was a pity that my sister didn't come to marry me when we got married, it was obviously nothing compared to the little niece or niece in Chu Jinxian's stomach. Since Chu Jinxian got married, their sisters have seen less. Later, when Chu Jinyao gave the marriage, and then moved to the capital, it was even more difficult for them to meet. Calculating this way, their sisters have not seen each other for more than a year.

Chu Jinyao was both regretful and contented: "Fortunately, my brother-in-law has been transferred to the capital, so we can also meet frequently in the future. By the way, sister, how are you doing during this time?"

Chu Jinxian knew what Chu Jinyao was asking. She was really **** the offspring. It took two years to get pregnant. If it weren’t for her grandmother to watch, Chu Jinyao married the prince again, I’m afraid that Chu Jinxian would want it at her husband’s house. Some received. Chu Jinxian sighed lightly and said, "What's the point of saying this, now I'm all right, there is nothing to worry about."

That's right, people always have to look forward. Chu Jinyao didn't want to mention Chu Jinxian's sadness, so she turned the topic off and asked about the child enthusiastically. Speaking of this, Chu Jinxian, who has always been indifferent, also has a lot to say: "...The difficulty of my birth, it took me a full year of medicine to get pregnant. I was born with a cold body, and I just got pregnant with that baby elephant. I'm not stable, I didn't dare to get out of bed for the first three months... But it was fine after the hardest period of time. Now he is a month old, and he no longer toss me, but my appetite is much better."

Chu Jinyao was shocked when she heard these words. She only knew that Chu Jinxian's children were not easy to heir. She didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Counting the time, the year that Chu Jinxian drank the medicine, Changxing Houfu moved her family to the capital. , Chu Jinxian was in Taiyuan Mansion alone, and didn't know how he got over it.

However, Chu Jinyao was preparing to marry at the time, and she was not free herself, and she didn't know anything about Chu Jinxian. Chu Jinyao was a little guilty, but she didn't want to deliberately say these things to make people sad when she was overjoyed, so she pretended to be relieved and said: "It's okay, all said that the hardships will come, and the little nephew can toss so much, and she will definitely be a lively brother in the future. "

Chu Jinxian laughed too, neither of them mentioned what to do if this was a daughter. Chu Jinyao actually doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl. If it’s a girl, she’s like her sister. Chu Jinyao likes it better, but the offspring is the knife on the woman’s head. Chu Jinxian’s birth is so difficult. Man in one fell swoop.

Chu Jinxian could probably guess what Chu Jinyao was thinking, but she didn’t care much, so she comforted Chu Jinyao: "I’m fine, no one in the Zhao family dares to treat me harshly, and your brother-in-law also understands my hard work. Heirs and yelling at concubines. Moving my family to the capital will only give me more confidence. How can someone not be so long-sighted, because my mother’s family is not here, they will belittle me? You have a good life, but will only brighten me. On the contrary, I could not come to send you to marry, nor could I see the battles of the royal wedding, but it was regrettable."

The two sisters were considerate of each other, and slowly opened up the knot of the year, and their hearts became closer. Chu Jinxian talked about the child for a while, and slowly asked Chu Jinyao: "What about you, how are you doing this time?"

Chu Jinyao saw the worries in Chu Jinxian's eyes and understood that she was really worried, but she was afraid of hitting Chu Jinyao's pain. Chu Jinyao smiled, holding Chu Jinxian's hand and saying, "I'm fine too."

Chu Jinxian asked in a low voice, "Is there any news?"

When she mentioned this Chu Jinyao, she was frustrated. She shook her head slightly, and Chu Jinxian sighed when she saw it, "I'm born with a cold body and it's not easy to get pregnant. Wouldn't you be like this?"

Chu Jinyao really didn't know. At first, she didn't think it was anxious. She and Qin Yi were both young and there was nothing to worry about, but everyone around her was very anxious about her not being pregnant. Slowly, Chu Jinyao became anxious himself.

But pregnancy is not something that can be done with just a word. Common infertility is because the husband and son-in-law do not stay overnight, but with Qin Yi's energy, this is definitely not the case for Chu Jinyao. The sons of the Zhao family are difficult, and now Chu Jinxian is the same. Could it be that this is the physical problem of their mother and daughter?

Chu Jinyao was a little frustrated. Chu Jinxian saw it and said softly and comforted: "It's okay. Although it is difficult for people with cold body to conceive, there are not a few women with cold body, but the severity is different. I will give you a few. Regarding the recipe, you should pay more attention to your usual meals, adjust it slowly, and you will have it naturally."

It can only be this way. Naturally, Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao didn't need Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao to remember Fangzi's things. Their maidservants had already moved to one side to communicate wisely. Chu Jinyao again talked to Chu Jinxian about the Changxing Marquis. Although Chu Jinxian said little, he listened carefully. The two were talking, and suddenly there was a small commotion in the direction of the banquet room. Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian both raised their heads and Linglong came to report in a timely manner: "Prince Princess, Princess Rong'an and Miss Zhao Er are here."

It turned out to be Zhao Lanhui.

Chu Jinyao turned her head and looked at each other with Chu Jinxian, and both saw caution in the eyes of the other person. In the first month of the first month, the imperial decree of marriage has been issued, and the wedding date is set for June this year. It can be said that Zhao Lanhui is already the second prince concubine. Even if the marriage has not been completed, but with the imperial decree, no one would dare to treat Zhao Lanhui as a girl. Zhao Lanhui obviously understood the change in his identity. But today, Zhao Lanhui came later than her princess, even if she could be pushed off to Princess Rong'an, it was too ostentatious.

Along with the imperial decree of marriage, there were also the decree of the second prince and the third prince. The emperor may not be too lazy to toss it again, so while granting the second prince, he also piggybacked the third prince. The second prince was named Su Wang, the domain of Qingyang Mansion, and the third prince was named Lu Wang, the domain of Luoyang.

They are all great places.

Chu Jinyao and the second prince and the third prince have a very shallow relationship. In Chu Jinyao's impression, the second prince is modest and frugal, and the third prince is proud and straightforward. They have their own merits, but they are all the princes expected in the world. Of course, now It's time to call them prince. In contrast, Qin Yi is somewhat unkind and somewhat domineering.

The more Chu Jinyao thought about it, the more he felt wrong. Looking at this trend, how could he get closer and closer to the princes in the history books? King Su himself is very low-key and respectful, but the concubine Su's family who can't stand the future is really powerful. Because of the relationship between Princess Rong'an and the official residence of the State of Wei, the momentum of King Su in the dynasty has gradually flourished in the past few days.

As for King Lu, he himself was the proud son of heaven, and the focus of his sight was not as obvious as that of King Su.

Chu Jinyao didn't understand it before, but after she entered the palace, things in the court gradually understood three points. King Su is now very famous, if it is because Zhao Lanhui is too high-profile and does not know how to restrain, then it is to coax children and laymen.

Chu Jinyao is sure that someone must be taking advantage of the trend. As for what they did this for, it goes without saying.

The emperor really does not have the idea of ​​changing the prince, but the emperor’s thinking is always different from that of the prince. As a father, the emperor prefers the prince, but also wants his other sons to enjoy the glory and be prominent from generation to generation. The emperor himself had never thought of the prince, but what about the sons he treated favorably?

Chu Jinxian looked at Chu Jinyao worriedly, and obviously also felt that the future Princess Su was too overwhelming. Chu Jinyao held Chu Jinxian's hand and shook her head to indicate that it was all right.

Zhao Lanhui is here to play, how can Chu Jinyao let her be arrogant. She didn't go back to the banquet room immediately, but sat down again and walked back unhurriedly.

Zhao Lanhui has been very busy ever since she showed up. The boudoir girl who had sought after her in the past came to flatter her, and even the young lady who was not in a circle came over to talk to Zhao Lanhui. The wedding date has been set, and Zhao Lanhui will soon become Princess Su. Everyone wants to take advantage of it early.

Zhao Lanhui was surrounded by many people, and she was able to deal with these gestures with ease, and the banquet room was full of excitement. Zhao Lanhui was planning to respond to a daughter of Hou's family, suddenly the whole hall was quiet, and then everyone's eyes turned to the other side.

For a while, all those who talked and laughed, talked about feelings, and talked about their children and relatives, all stopped and allowed the way to greet the visitors.

"The crown prince is blessed."

Chu Jinyao walked slowly with Chu Jinxian, and smiled softly in response to all these greetings. As soon as Chu Jinyao appeared, Zhao Lanhui was immediately turned into a little girl. No matter how good Zhao Lanhui's family is, no matter how high his mother's status is, he cannot be as high as a princess. Chu Jinyao wears a first-class dress, a bun with lush beads, and a clear jade bracelet on her wrist. His whole body is quiet and rich. Along the way, he gently nods and smiles. People on both sides admire that this is the royal composure. tolerance. Compared with Chu Jinyao, Zhao Lanhui was too noisy, especially when compared with the previous one, Zhao Lanhui made the banquet room noisy, but as soon as Chu Jinyao appeared, he immediately calmed down.

With such movement and silence, the contrast is too obvious, because a person with a real identity does not need to advertise his identity.

And Zhao Lanhui had to respectfully approach Chu Jinyao in this weird embarrassment: "See the princess."

"Second cousin Zhao is here too, get up quickly." Chu Jinyao just smiled and glanced at her, then indifferently averted her gaze and looked at Princess Rong'an, "Aunt Rong'an."

Princess Rong'an smiled back and spoke to Chu Jinyao gently and eagerly. The two of them sat in the upper seat, but Zhao Lanhui could only stand underneath.

At this moment, not only Zhao Lanhui, but other people also deeply realized that Zhao Lanhui was only the princess Su, while Chu Jinyao was the prince. The princess can easily talk to any senior ancestor present, sitting on an equal footing, but the princess Su can't.

This kind of silent defeat is too cruel, Zhao Lanhui's face is not obvious, but there is a neglected humiliation in his eyes. If Chu Jinyao came back in a hurry to find a place, she could still think that Chu Jinyao was also nervous, but Chu Jinyao didn't, and Chu Jinyao returned slowly, not caring what she did. Even after Chu Jinyao entered the house, he didn't pay attention to this place. Instead, he spoke to Princess Rong'an familiarly, which made Zhao Lanhui feel like a child, demonstrating deliberately with adults.

It is outrageous, Chu Jinyao is one year younger than Zhao Lanhui! Zhao Lanhui felt uneasy. A year ago, she and Princess Baoqing jointly examined Chu Jinyao. Today, the situation is completely reversed.

After the banquet, the voice was noisy and it was convenient to speak. Many wives are secretly asking people at the table: "The eldest daughter of Changxing Houfu, the prince's compatriots and sisters, just came in with the princess concubine?"

"Exactly, just transferred back to the capital this month."

"Oh, look at the two sisters." The lady who was speaking didn't know if she was still envious. "When these two people walked over, they were as heavy and beautiful as the Nine Heavens Profound Girl descended to the earth. Whoever got such a pair of sisters? , This must be a blessing."

The listeners felt the same way. Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian are two sisters at first glance. They are both beautiful and outstanding. Among them, Chu Jinxian has to be more serious, Chu Jinyao is more fresh and beautiful, lively and fragrant. .

In the palace, Empress Xiao Qi also asked about Princess Runing’s wedding banquet today: “Are you ready to add makeup?”

"It's all set, now it has been sent to the princess mansion."

As the aunt of Xiaoqi, in addition to the expensive makeup in the dowry, gifts were also given on the day of the wedding banquet to show the emperor's grace and the princess's favor. These things are all taken care of by the servants. After Xiao Qi learned that the reward from Kunning Palace had been sent, he let go of the matter, but sighed: "It is good to be a princess. Food and housing are all royal, this is good fate."

Lan Yu couldn't agree with this, and she said softly: "The empress is wrong. If the princess's fate is good, then why do they try their best to marry their daughter back to the royal family? Obviously Empress is the best life in the world. "

This is a coincidence. Empress Xiao Qi was amused. Seeing her look, she obviously also thinks that being a queen is better than being a princess. Is it possible that the land of the land is not a royal official. The honor and disgrace of the whole world are tied to the emperor. Obviously, the woman who is the strongest is even more honorable.

If her son can become the next emperor, so much the better.

At this time, Lan Yu whispered: "Manny, our secret pile has returned the news of the prince."
