The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

The prince said, you missed the key plot, so I won't show you this chapter! Quickly make it up~　　 Seeing that Chu Jinyao hadn't moved, Qin Yi stretched out his hand and pulled her over: "Hurry up, I can't leave Yupei for too long. If I don't write by hand, I won't be able to practice."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held, and she had only time to see the other's slender fingers. Qin Yi is still in a spirited state, and the fingers are still translucent, but even so, it doesn't prevent him from encircling Chu Jinyao's wrist with one hand. Live, pull her whole person over with a little force.

Chu Jinmiao felt that this was a pair of martial arts hands. If you don't practice martial arts, your fingers will not be so long and powerful.

Qin Yi how many years he has cultivated, both civil and military are so powerful. Chu Jinyao was thinking in a daze, when her forehead was suddenly bounced. Although it was not painful, it was enough to wake her up.

"What are you doing?" Chu Jinyao clutched her forehead and glared at Qin Yi displeasedly.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it's reasonable for you to be distracted? Hold the pen properly and write as I said."

Chu Jinyao is still very concerned about learning, and she will be caught by Chu Jinmiao's pigtail if she doesn't. She immediately retracted her mind and listened carefully to Qin Yi's words. Qin Yi stood by Chu Jinyao's side and taught her how to use the pen, how to carry out the transfer, and in some places Chu Jinyao did not do well, and Qin Yi was impatient, so he directly reached out and held the pen to help her correct. He was on Chu Jinyao's left hand, and every time he wanted to hold a pen, he could only stretch his arm behind Chu Jinyao, vainly clinging to her to make corrections. Chu Jinyao was very uncomfortable. She told herself in her heart that Qin Yi was a spirit and had no sense of guarding against men and women, so don't care about it with him. With such repetitions too many times, Chu Jinyao actually slowly got used to it. Qin Yi held her hand and moved slowly on the paper, making her writing more and more smooth.

Chu Jinyao used to rarely write, she was very afraid of pen and ink, but now that Qin Yi took it with her, she quickly started using it. After Qin Yi let go, she could write a few words decently. . Chu Jinyao was very happy in her heart. She turned her head happily and said, "Look, I can write by myself!"

Chu Jinyao looked back anxiously, but forgot that Qin Yi was standing behind her, the two were very close. When she turned around like this, she almost hit Qin Yi's chin.

Qin Yi wanted to go around Chu Jinyao and hold the pen. It was inevitable that he had to stand very close. He was taller than Chu Jinyao, so he had to support the table with one hand and put the other hand around Chu Jinyao, bringing her familiar with pens. feel. Now Chu Jinyao suddenly turned around and almost hit him. Chu Jinyao looked back and found that Qin Yi's face was close at hand, stunned on the spot, but Qin Yi reacted very quickly, immediately raised his chin back, and lowered his eyes to glance at Chu Jinyao: "What are you doing?"

Chu Jinyao was embarrassed in her heart. This was the first time she had approached a man like this. It was also at this moment that she clearly realized that Qin Yi is a man and she can no longer get along with him as before. Chu Jinyao was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, but found that Qin Yi's chin was much thinner than before, and his face was so transparent that he almost melted into the air, with a light and fragile beauty, which made his features exquisite and exquisite.

However, Chu Jinyao no longer wanted to appreciate Qin Yi's outstanding looks. She said anxiously: "What's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable?"

Qin Yi himself looked disapproving: "It's nothing, it's been too long since I got away from the jade pendant, and Shenhun couldn't support it. I just wait to go back and raise it."

What is nurturing? Can you make a joke about the soul? Chu Jinyao was really furious: "Since you can't be out for too long, then you go home! It was also blamed on me, and only just practiced calligraphy, but didn't pay attention to you."

"I'm fine." After Qin Yi finished speaking, he couldn't help adding, "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you."

"Okay, I know, you go back soon!"

Qin Yi was a person who couldn't stay idle since he was a child, and hated restraint the most, but now being restricted to Yu Perry, it is simply unspeakable boredom. It turned out that there was no other way, but now that he can escape from that restrained place, Qin Yi doesn't want to go back anymore. But Chu Jinyao was crying in a hurry, and Qin Yi had no choice but to return to Yu Peili reluctantly.

In the jade pendant, the weak soul immediately felt much better. Qin Yi sighed softly and immediately went to comfort Chu Jinyao: "I'm fine, don't cry."

Can this be called okay? Chu Jinyao was really about to cry by Qin Yi, why didn't this person take his body seriously? She was dull for a while, not knowing who she was angry with, and finally she said, "You can't do this next time."

"Well, good." Qin Yi replied carelessly. He yawned lazily and said, "It's time for you to practice calligraphy. This is water milling skills, you can't be lazy."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sat at the desk, picked up the pen, and said while dipping the ink, "I am practicing calligraphy here. If you are sleepy, take a rest first. I will stay with you."

Qin Yi laughed: "I'm not a kid, so where can I be with someone." Although he said this, the loss of his spirit was too great today. He only supported it for a while, and couldn't make it through, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Jinyao saw that Qin Yi hadn't moved, and she moved more carefully. In the study, only the rustling of the pen nib can be heard.

The night was getting deeper, and the little maid lighted the lanterns one by one on the promenade, and the lights in the courtyards of the Changxing Hou Mansion were also lit up. At this time, there are very few people walking around in the house, regardless of what they say or do in the daytime, those who can sit under the same lamp at this time are the ones who are truly close.

Chu Jinmiao put the lampshade on the candlestick and asked, "Is my father not here today?"

Grandma Zhang said: "It's all about this point. I'm afraid Master Hou will stay in that courtyard tonight."

It stands to reason that Chu Jinmiao is a girl, so he shouldn’t bother about things like his father and aunt, but Chu Jinmiao has been close to the Zhao clan since he was a child. After being wronged by his aunt, the Zhao clan also loves to talk to Chu Jinmiao. Over time, the Zhao clan. The people in the room got used to it.

Changxing Hou has a single wife and three concubines. Although the Zhao family has a stable position in the main room, they are actually only face-saving. Among them, Huang Auntie is the one who is really favored.

Just like tonight, Changxing Hou stayed in Aunt Huang's yard again.

When Zhao came in, she was the eldest daughter-in-law and Mrs. Hou. I don't know how many people stared at her belly. It was almost a year before Zhao got pregnant. However, in the face of many expectations, Zhao did not win a boy at one fell swoop, but gave birth to a big girl. Although Mrs. Chu was slightly disappointed, she still treated Zhao with respect. She took the eldest girl away when she was born, and was strictly groomed as her eldest granddaughter since she was a child. Although the child was taken away when he was born, it was very unfair to the mother emotionally, but putting it in the house of the nobility and the elders personally educated the granddaughter was extremely decent and showed the status of the mother and the child. After the eldest girl was taken away, the Zhao family reborn vigorously, but she was not pregnant for a long time. Instead, the son of Mr. Yan in Erfang became the eldest grandson of the Changxing Hou Mansion. The Zhao family was under great pressure and had to give it to a few aunts. Stopped the medication.

When Zhao was pregnant with the eldest girl, she could not serve Changxinghou, and it was inevitable to take concubines. Mrs. Chu sent a maid, Furong, over, saying that she was serving the Zhao family, but who could not know what the real purpose was. The Zhao family didn't like her mother-in-law interfering in her room. She kept pressing her face and didn't open Furong's face. When Mrs. Chu knew about it, she didn't say anything. A few days later, the Changxing Hou’s Mansion was out for entertainment. When he came back, he brought a woman with her surname Huang. She was a Taiyuan official who honored Changxing Hou. She was said to be a woman from Yangzhou. She was specially taught and used to honor the officialdom. Master.

As soon as Huang's first entry, it showed her strong fighting skills. Zhao didn't take it seriously, thinking that Changxing Hou was tired, but seeing Huang's energy getting stronger and stronger, Zhao gradually became uneasy, so she had to rush. Busily opened her face to Furong, letting Furong take care of Aunt Huang's favor. After Zhao gave birth to her eldest girl, she was not pregnant for a long time. She couldn't stand the pressure of her in-laws, so she reluctantly stopped the medicine for Huang and Furong.

In the high gate compound, the status of the aunts and wives are half slaves. As long as the lady in the main room does not nod their heads, they will drink refuge soup after going to bed. They can't let the bleeding pulse disturb the family's respect and inferiority. Wife's belly.

As soon as Zhao stopped the medicine for the aunts, this meant that an eldest son might emerge in her name, which was not a decent thing for Mrs. Zhengtou. Under the pressure of Zhao, he finally gave birth to the second young master to take up the business. However, it didn't take long for Aunt Huang and Furong to become pregnant one after another, and the next concubine came in one life. The Huang family was favored, and now she stopped avoiding the soup again. After giving birth to the third young master, she slowed down and gave birth to the third girl Chu Jinchan again after a year.

Huang gave birth to a son and a daughter, and his status in the back house immediately rose a lot, and his arrogance became more and more arrogant. After Zhao gave birth to his second daughter, nothing happened. Except for the fifteenth day of the fifteenth year, Changxing Hou seldom came to the main room to stay overnight. Even if he stayed overnight, he just sat down and talked. The Zhao family couldn't have a bleeding pulse anymore, so the grandmother Zhang gave Zhao an idea and opened his face to the dowry maid Bai Ling. As long as Bailing can keep Changxing Hou, it is considered to stay in Zhao's house.

The Zhao reluctantly let the dowry girl Bailing grieve her face, and she officially became an aunt. However, Bai Ling was not Huang's opponent at all. It took several years before she gave birth to twins, called Seven Young Masters and Eight Girls. She is only six years old now.

Aunt Huang is really the only one in the back house, and Furong is Mrs. Chu's after all. Even for the sake of face, Changxing Hou is not too cold, speaking, the most deserted place is the Zhao family.

Chu Jinmiao had been close to the Zhao family since he was a child, and knew everything about his mother's room here. She heard that Changxinghou had gone to Aunt Huang again, and she was so angry that she put the tea cup on the table again: "Why is my father always confused, who is Huang, and why is he worthy of such respect?"

A girl who has not been out of the pavilion can't say these things like her aunt, it's too salty. But there were no outsiders here, and Mother Zhang and the others also opened one eye and closed the other and let it go.

Zhao said: "Who said no? Huang used to pretend to look at her waist and legs. She didn't sit upright and looked like a fox. But men would eat this set." Zhao thought more and more. The more angry, I couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "It's all cheap bones."

What Zhao said was wrong, but both Mother Zhang and Chu Jinmiao were silent, not knowing how to persuade Zhao. After a while, Chu Jinmiao comforted the Zhao family: "Mother, don't get angry with them, because if they are spoiled, they can still pass you? No matter how confused his father is, he will not allow such things as annihilation of his wife. ."

Grandma Zhang also said: "Yes, ma'am, the love of the men in the back home is temporary, and the children are the real support. You still have the second master!" Grandma Zhang originally wanted to say that you still have the eldest master. The eldest girl and the fifth girl, but she thought that Chu Jinmiao was still there and it was hard to mention Chu Jinyao, so she omitted the girls together.

Mother Zhang changed her words temporarily, but the Zhao family didn't hear it, but Chu Jinmiao did. Chu Jinmiao looked at her with a cold look.

The servants of Chaoyunyuan saw the grandmother Sun going out proudly, and she said cruelly to find her wife to be fair, but Chu Jinyao calmly went out for a while, and after returning, the grandmother Sun was honest, no Dare to be rude to Chu Jinyao again. Several maids were a little surprised, and respected Chu Jinyao, and put away their contempt.

Although Fifth Girl has a shallow foundation, she is not a master of rubbings.

Chu Jinyao cooked Grandma Sun that day, and went to learn poetry with Grandma Deng. When she returned to Chaoyun Courtyard, she was exhausted again.

But even so, she insisted on practicing calligraphy. Qin Yi looked at it, frowning and said: "You have been standing for so long today, so let's rest for a while."

Chu Jinyao shook his head without raising his head: "This is a must-do everyday homework, how can I miss it? I just endure it. I have so much difference with Chu Jinmiao. If I don't work hard, I will be dumped. It’s getting farther and farther."

"She's just a fancy." Qin Yi came out of Yupei, sat opposite Chu Jinmiao, took the book casually, and said, "She now depends on nothing more than the time you spend studying poetry, while other women spend most of the time. On the needle and thread, she is too lazy to read a book, which makes her exceptionally outstanding in literary talent. Your talent is similar to her, but your temperament is tougher than her. It is only a matter of time before you catch up with her.

"Really?"

"Really."

Chu Jinyao chuckled and laughed. While writing, she said to Qin Yi: "Although I think you are coaxing me, I still listen happily. But no matter how I don't like her, I have to admit that Chu Jinmiao is better than me. I can talk and win over people. You see that I have been back for so long. The grandmother, sisters, and mother in the mansion all like Chu Jinmiao more, not to mention the brothers in the family. I think the two cousins ​​also like her more."

"I don't think it's necessarily." Qin Yi said, "You can't look at it on the surface. Actually, Chu Jinmiao's popularity among women is not very good. For example, your eldest sister doesn't like her. Your sister is carefully raised by the family. The eldest daughter, her vision represents the preferences of the female elders in the house. You are still young, and it will be more obvious in a few years."

Chu Jinyao was skeptical: "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Qin Yi glanced at Chu Jinyao coolly, "Am I like someone who can look at me?"

"Although I always feel that you are comforting me, I also hope this is true." Chu Jinyao sighed, "I don't expect other female elders to like me. As long as my mother is fair to me, that's enough. Up."

Hearing this, even Qin Yi felt hard to say: "Your mother, she... I didn't expect that the wife of Changxinghou would be so partial and partial. If she continues to be like this in the future, she can only find someone to mention her. Up."

Chu Jinmiao was taken aback, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?" Qin Yi's words were too strange, and Chu Jinyao couldn't help but doubt his identity.

"Nothing." Qin Yi turned a page calmly and asked, "Why did you talk about two cousins?"

"You're changing the subject again!" Chu Jinyao reached out to pat him with anger. She didn't ask why she came, when she suddenly heard Dingxiang report outside: "Girl, six girls are here."

Six girls? What did the sixth girl come to do with her? Chu Jinyao was puzzled, and Qin Yi's strangeness was put aside. The sixth girl is a daughter of the third room, she is not very popular with the old lady, and she is cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays. Chu Jinyao secretly thinks that the sixth girl is a person with a good plan. But even so, Chu Jinyao would not take the initiative to approach Sanfang, what would he do to make the old lady dislike it? Six girls and Chu Jinyao have nothing to do with each other. They just nodded and smiled when they met. What did she do in Chaoyun Academy?

Chu Jinyao felt strange, she lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi who was sitting opposite: "You said, what is the Sixth Girl?"

Qin Yi put down the book and said: "Wait for the changes, go out and have a look."

Chu Jinyao put aside the pen and walked to the Mingtang, and she saw that the six girls were already standing in the hall. Six girls watched Chu Jinyao come out of the East Shao, and her eyebrows moved slightly invisibly: "The fifth sister is really diligent. She will go to the study to practice when she comes back."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Well, I just look at it casually." Chu Jinyao led the six girls to the west. After the two of them sat down, the maid put on a fresh fruit plate. When the maids stepped aside, Chu Jinyao asked, "How do you think of me here?"

"I made some snacks, come and see Sister Wu." As the sixth girl said, she asked her maid to present the snack box. A maid with a pair of snail buns took a red lacquer box and took two steps forward, lifted the lid slightly, and took out a small pile of plum cake from the inside. The sixth girl smiled and said: "I do whatever I want, so don't dislike the fifth sister."

"How come." Chu Jinyao smiled, and asked the maid to put the plate of plum cake over and put away the other snacks one by one. Chu Jinyao glanced slightly at the plum cake of Miss Six, and then withdrew her gaze.

The Sixth Girl said that she did it by herself, but in fact, her girls did it. The Sixth girl did it by herself. Chu Jinyao only took a look, and felt that these pastries were more than exquisite, but in fact they were not too difficult. If there were plum molds, she could make them herself.

However, she thought so in her heart, but she couldn't tell the truth in face. Chu Jinyao's maids were all admiring: "Six girls are so clever." Chu Jinyao also smiled and said, "Six sisters are interested."

The sixth girl pursed her lips and said: "It's okay for Sister Fifth not to dislike it."

Chu Jinyao looked at the six girls and the others politely, but refused to mention the topic. Chu Jinyao didn't remind her either, and chatted with her calmly and leisurely.

Six girls waited for a while, but couldn't wait for Chu Jinyao to take the initiative to ask. She thought to herself that Chu Jinyao was really calm. The sixth girl had to break this layer of window paper by herself: "Fifth sister, I am here today. In addition to giving you cakes, I also have some selfish things to tell you."

When Chu Jinyao heard it, she looked at the maids around her with her eyes. Kikyo and the others immediately resigned wittily: "The slaves and maids will prepare melons and fruits for the girls."

When the Xianzi girl was almost gone, Miss Six lowered her voice, put her elbows on the table, and leaned forward towards Chu Jinyao slightly: "Fifth Sister, I am here today. I actually want to tell you quietly. Put a spy by your side."

Chu Jinyao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and asked, "Oh? What do you say?"

"I have a maid who has children and is very popular. She went to talk to her little sister that day and listened to the maid who was sweeping in the courtyard of the fourth girl. When the fourth girl was talking to people, she didn't pay attention to the people standing behind the bushes. , I was only heard by that little girl. After my maid knew about it, she told me when she came back, I thought about how it was all right, so she came over and told the fifth sister."

Chu Jinyao's smile remained unchanged after hearing it, but he was still interested in it. Not to mention the fact that the girl overheard is true, even if it is true, why did the Sixth Girl tell her? Chu Jinyao didn't express his position, but said: "It's hard for you to think for me, but we are all sisters in the same house. If we are heard by others, most of us will have to chew my tongue again. Six sisters took such a risk for me, and I was very sorry. ."

Six girls said: "Sister Fifth doesn't know. When I see you, I feel very fond. In fact, like you, I am not very favored in Hou's Mansion. I am not as popular as the four girls and seven girls. I also have to. Carefully surviving in the cracks, seeing you are embarrassed everywhere, I feel pity for the same disease, so I always want to help you. But I am not favored, I am afraid I have more than my heart."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Sister Six thinks this way, and I am very touched. Sister Six does not need to do anything for me, I know your heart is enough."

Seeing that Chu Jinyao refused to speak up, the six girls had to show their trump cards and said, "Fifth sister, do you know why Madam Hou suddenly thought of sending you a maid?"

Chu Jinyao calmly asked, "Why?"

"It's not that ghost. Although the girls have nurses in the yard, they are under the rules of discipline, but in fact they are not at all like this. If it was a girl, the mother would have arranged it for the girl. In the yard The girl is in charge of everything, and the mother-in-law is to make a black face for the girl and frighten the maid. But this maid of yours is not right. With such a person, everything about you has to go through her hands, everything Don’t say whether you do it or not, your every move will be spread out by her. You say, if this goes on, who will benefit."

"You mean, four girls?"

"Yes. Sister Fifth, now is the critical moment for choosing companions. The aunt, the eldest son, and the grandmother of the palace are all in our house. When they return, the princess will definitely ask about us with the aunt and grandmother. Let’s not talk about it, the mother’s evaluation of us is what matters. If they say a good one, it can be compared to a hundred of our own, but if they only have one bad one, then we can argue that there is no one thousand or ten thousand sentences. Yes. Fifth sister, do you think this is the reason? The fourth girl has placed a nanny by your side. If she exchanges something for you with this nanny, or asks the nanny to arrange something for you, wait for it to be passed on to the flower nurse. Mother and Mother Deng talked, then everything is over."

Chu Jinyao thought to her heart that she hadn't planned to choose this companion, but now she is just studying with Madam Wangfu. Chu Jinyao didn't care what the mother said about her, so in this way, mother Sun would not be as critical as the six girls said.

Seeing that Chu Jinyao did not speak, the sixth girl thought she was frightened, so she continued: "Sister, you see that the palace is going to choose two companions for the county lord. We two are sick and pity each other, should we unite more? What if it were us? If we don't do it, then Chu Jinmiao will become more and more frantic, and he may decide how to plot the two of us. Together, we have multiple people, and even if we encounter something, there should be someone to discuss."

Chu Jinyao said "Oh" in his heart. It turned out that the six girls had this idea, and they came to find her to form an alliance. Chu Jinyao had no intention of being accompanied by the palace, and didn't want to get involved in their infighting. She was about to say no, when she suddenly felt the jade pendant on her chest shook.

Chu Jinyao's face was still, but what he said turned a big turn: "I am very touched by your consideration for me. I have just arrived and I don't understand anything. If the sixth sister doesn't dislike me, I am willing to help me. Very grateful."

The six girls finally showed a sincere smile: "Our sisters are both poor people. As long as we unite, there will always be a way."
