The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 91: . Behind the scenes

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.   Kikyo felt that this woman was so rude, but when he heard that it was sent by the Zhao family, Kikyo was surprised and had to squat down and salute: "I was the one who neglected the mother, so please don't blame it."

The woman snorted arrogantly. Just as she was about to reprimand Kikyo, she saw Chu Jinyao wave his hand and said to Kikyo: "Telling you so many times to make you temper your temper, you never listen. Fortunately, mother. Madam was sent by the wife. She has a big air and doesn't care about you. See if you dare to dare next time?"

Kikyo squatted down quickly and said, "The slave dare not, please forgive me."

"Okay, put the things in the study first. This is the homework assigned by the two maternal grandmothers of the Royal Palace. If there is anything wrong, I can only ask you."

Kikyo lowered his head and ran in. The mother-in-law called twice, but did not call Kikyo. Seeing that Chu Jinyao was willing to take care of the maid, her heart was already very uncomfortable. The mother-in-law thought, the fourth girl and the wife were right. The fifth girl’s yard was really unruly. Since the wife sent her to advise the fifth girl, she must rectify the atmosphere of the fifth girl.

Chu Jinyao's waist and legs were very sore. Even so, she forced her smile, walked two steps closer, and asked, "How do you call the mother?"

The woman stood up and said arrogantly: "The old slave is surnamed Sun."

"Grandma grandma is good." Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "Since it was sent by her mother, it is an elder, so I can't neglect it. Dingxiang, clean up a clean room, and take her grandma to rest."

Ding Xiang took the order. Before taking a few steps, she heard the grandmother Sun say: "Fifth girl, the wife sent me to rectify the rules for you. To tell the truth, you may not like to listen to your yard. The rules here are too loose, and there is nothing more orderly than the Four Girls. Girl, you are still young, and you don’t know how sinister people are. You look glamorous in the back home, but there are a lot of things hidden behind the scenes, especially those slippery. Slaves and maids love to collude to deceive their masters. For example, a girl’s money jewelry. Girl, you have a lot of things every day, and you can’t remember which jewelry is in the box. Take your jewelry and sell it. So my wife sent me over. The first important thing is to let me help you learn as a housekeeper, so as not to be humiliated by the slaves below."

Chu Jinyao secretly got angry, and this woman literally pushed her nose on her face. Chu Jinyao originally wanted to put on a high hat for her, and then offered it from afar, and it would be nice not to hinder her, but now it seems that this woman's hands are very long.

Sure enough, the grandmother grandma paused and said, "Girl, where is the key to your clothes and jewelry? You are young. I am afraid that you will be deceived by the slaves below. Let the old slaves take care of them."

"You don't need to work your mother." Chu Jinyao said with a cold face, "I am in charge of these things. This is what I have been used to at home, and I will not be deceived by others. Since the mother is sent by my mother. , It should be supported by my good students. How can you worry about this? Isn't this my unfilial piety."

Chu Jinyao has already moved out of filial piety, but as the saying goes, it is unreasonable for a scholar to meet soldiers. This woman has a very thick face. No matter what Chu Jinyao said, she just insisted: "Madam sent me to take care of the five girls. Eyes, clothes and jewellery naturally require the old slave to worry about. If the girl refuses, the old slave will have to go to his wife to reason."

It was extremely rampant, Chu Jinyao sullen, and said, "Then you go. Dingxiang, get ready to write, I want to review my homework."

Chu Jinyao said, and walked to the main house without looking back. Grandma Sun was a little stunned. She obviously didn't expect Chu Jinyao to dare to be so tyrannical. The girl in the inner house was not soft and soft, acting in a roundabout way. How could Chu Jinyao dare to just let it go?

Grandma Sun yelled: "I'm from Madam, Madam said..."

Chu Jinyao calmly said: "Ding Xiang, the message goes on, I am going to read, no one is allowed to speak loudly. If it disturbs me and delays me and the grandmother of the palace in learning the rules, then I have to go to my grandmother and let grandmother come. Be fair."

Although Chu Jinyao said this to Dingxiang, the direction in the words was very clear. Mother Sun was dumb, Chu Jinyao turned her head and glanced at the people coldly, then opened the curtain and went in.

When he got indoors, Kikyo Masaki was in the study, and he dared not go out. She also heard the movement outside, and now seeing Chu Jinyao again, she felt very admired: "Girl..."

Chu Jinyao felt terribly upset, and she said to Kikyo: "She is still yelling at her outside, so please bear with me first, stay in Xici for a while, wait until she gets tired of yelling, then go out."

Kikyo responded crisply: "Yes."

The study soon calmed down again. The maids all knew Chu Jinyao's habits. It was customary not to keep anyone in the study. After waiting for no one, Chu Jinyao sighed long.

Qin Yi sighed and laughed: "What's the matter, didn't you just be very prestigious? What did you sigh for?"

"I didn't have such a violent temper." Chu Jinyao said, "It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and black are black. Sure enough, look at what you have taken me into!"

If someone dared to talk to Qin Yi like this, Qin Yi would have let people clean up. But now he listened to Chu Jinyao's words, but he couldn't help himself with a smile: "You can be reasonable, but don't rely on me for everything."

Chu Jinyao couldn't hold his face, and smiled lightly. She laughed for a while, and her tone changed into sorrow again: "It's easy to ask God to give it away. How can I send this big Buddha out!"

Qin Yi didn't speak, he came out of Jade Peili, sat down at the table leisurely, and flipped through the book casually. Chu Jinyao pretended to be pitiful, but found that Qin Yi couldn’t put it on, so she hurried around to the other side of the table, sat opposite Qin Yi, with her arm lying on the table, carefully poking Qin Yi’s arm: "Qize, why? Do it?"

Qin Yi raised his head and smiled at Chu Jinyao: "I don't know, think about it yourself."

"I just can't figure it out, I'm here to look for you!" Chu Jinyao continued to act like a baby, and finally simply said, "If you don't tell me, I will cry for you."

Qin Yi glanced at her lightly and said, "Cry."

Chu Jinyao finally knew where the familiar feeling came from. Grandma Sun would say that she was going to file a complaint with Zhao, and Chu Jinyao said, "Then you go." Her manner and tone at the time were exactly the same as Qin Yi's "Cry!"

Chu Jinyao said that it was really retribution. She narrowed her mouth, cautiously, but kept poking Qin Yi's arm, looking at him with that kind of pitiful eyes. Qin Yi didn't move his eyebrows, but after holding the book in his hand for a long time, he didn't turn a page in a daze.

Qin Yi couldn't bear it, closed the book, and said with a calm face: "You are really bold."

Chu Jinyao laughed immediately and said, "I knew you wouldn't care about me."

Qin Yi was really helpless and funny, he said: "Really retribution."

Chu Jinyao showed an attitude of being obediently educated, and pouring Qin Yi a cup of tea graciously, although Qin Yi didn't need it. Qin Yi was so stern, and seeing her doing this, he couldn't help but glared at her angrily and amusingly.

"The grandmother grandma was given to you by your mother. I don't need to tell you exactly who instigated you. You know. With this person, you will be in trouble tomorrow if you see the Zhao family."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sighed, "Clearly Chu Jinmiao was the young lady who grew up here, and she was also the one who replaced my ranking and status. I haven't been hostile to her yet, but she targeted me."

"There is always no end to the human heart." Qin Yi knew that he had to leave sooner or later. It turned out that Chu Jinyao encountered difficulties and Qin Yi helped her solve it, but now he knows that he is leaving, so he no longer helps her to stop him. Everything, and taught her these intrigues bit by bit: "It is a good thing for her to take the initiative to attack you, even if she does nothing, I have to stimulate her to do it. You are now the person framed, naturally taking care of the outside Whether your mother-in-law or your mother is partial, you don’t need to bother about it. You can indulge that mother-in-law and let her be more rampant as possible. When the time comes, you can directly stab the person in charge and show it to everyone. This is called If you don't move, you will kill with one blow."

Chu Jinyao seemed to nod with feeling: "You mean, I deliberately showed weakness and made grandma grandma more and more rampant, and finally made an intolerable mistake and let grandma intervene to deal with it?"

"That's it." Qin Yi said, "If you have a high enough status, you can just do what you want, but if you still can't do it now, you can only do things in a roundabout way and sell pitiful things to your elders. And your father, Chu Jing is a picker. To be clear, you inadvertently reveal what Chu Jinmiao has done to you. It is enough to reveal a little, and let him check the rest. Since your mother is partial, you can only find another way, let Chu Jing see. Look, what kind of life you live in the back house."

Chu Jinyao has completely understood. She nodded: "I understand. To put it bluntly, these disputes in the inner house are the same as those in the village, but they have to cover themselves with a passive layer, as if they are passive and compelled to do everything."

It turned out that in Su’s family, if someone came to ask Chu Jinyao for the key to the family’s money, Chu Jinyao would definitely be able to scold him to death, that is, let other people in the village judge, and no one could say that Chu Jinyao was wrong, Chu Jinyao said. Emotion and reason are tenable. But now in the Hou Mansion, things can't be so straightforward. If she really reprimanded the grandmother, everyone would only say that she was not filial, but would not ask her why.

The environment is different and things are completely different. Chu Jinyao is trying hard to adapt to the new rules in Houmen.

"Yes, that's it." Qin Yi smiled, "Men always like innocent and weak women. You are too strong, but it is not easy to please."

"Men are like this? Can they not see that this is fake?"

Qin Yi was stunned when he was asked. He was used to seeing Chu Jinyao's bright eyes, but he could only avoid it carefully, saying, "Not all men are like this... "

"What about you?" Chu Jinyao blurted out without waiting for Qin Yi to finish.

"Me?" Qin Yi smiled, "I have too many things to do. Men and women matters are far from my plan."

Chu Jinyao asked the question recklessly, and she was a little surprised after she said it, but now listening to Qin Yi's answer, she felt a little empty in her heart. Chu Jinyao suppressed the inexplicable thoughts and smiled and said to Qin Yi: "You are right. Men are very affectionate. If you have those skills, it is better to focus on your own affairs. After all, a good life is the most important thing. As for that. Love is all vain."

Qin Yi thought that Chu Jinyao's words made sense logically, but there was always something wrong psychologically. He frowned and said: "You are a girl, don't talk about love all day long. How old are you now, don't always think about marrying someone."

"Who thought about it?" Chu Jinyao was annoyed, and immediately replied unwillingly. They both said something to me, and Twilight slowly deepened.

On the second day, Chu Jinyao went to greet the Zhao family. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chu Jinmiao sitting next to the Zhao family, peeling the oranges for the Zhao family.

Chu Jinyao knew that her defendant had been accused.

"Mother." Her face was calm, she pretended to know nothing, and saluted Zhao in the same manner.

Zhao placed her hand on the table, and the gold bracelet on her wrist touched the table top, making a crisp clash. "I heard from Grandma Sun, you deliberately contradicted Grandma Sun without accepting discipline?"

Mother Sun copied her hands, looking aggrieved, while Chu Jinmiao lowered her head and peeled her skin intently, without ever raising her head and glanced at it.

Chu Jinyao calmly asked, "Mother, where do you start?"

"Grandma Sun told me about it, she went to discipline you, and even if you contradicted you, she was rude to Grandma Sun in front of everyone. Do you still have my mother in your eyes? "

"Mother, you also know that you are my mother-in-law." Chu Jinyao raised her head to look at the Zhao family, and said every word, "Why don't you ask me what happened? Grandma Sun, she just came here. Just yelling in my yard, I came back from where Mother Hua was. Before I had time, I sat down and took a drink. I listened to Grandma Sun saying that she came by your order to collect my clothes and The key to jewelry."

Chu Jinyao raised her head and looked at the Zhao family: "Mother, is this what you instructed her to do? Don't ask questions, put all my wealth in your hands first, so you can restrain me?"

The Zhao family frowned and looked at the grandmother. She asked the grandmother to take care of Chu Jinyao's servants. Don't let people kick Chu Jinyao's face. How could this woman rashly ask for the key from Chu Jinyao? ? The clothes and jewelry in the back house are the woman's greatest possessions. If it is not a trustworthy servant, who will let others touch them? Zhao's gaze came over, and Mother Sun hurriedly lowered her head, Zhao's heart was a little irritated: "Why didn't you talk about this? Who let you make your own decision?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's not the old slave making his own claim!"

"Then you said, who instructed you to do this?" Zhao was angry, and put his hands on his lap, and asked, "I want to see, where are you brave enough to act against me."

Mother Sun was sweating, she promised not to speak, but she secretly looked at Chu Jinmiao with one eye. Chu Jinyao also stared straight at Chu Jinmiao, but wanted to see how she rounded it off.

With a relaxed smile on his lips, Qin Yi replied lightly: "Maybe, the teacher who taught me is better."

The prince had been taught by a special scholar since he was a child. These people must not only have profound knowledge, but also have noble morals and a prominent reputation. Qin Yi's teacher, that is not so good.

However, Chu Jinyao didn't know the weight of the teacher in Qin Yi's dialect. When she heard that it was the teacher of the other party, she stopped thinking. "It is said that famous teachers make good students. If the master is good, then ordinary people will not be able to imitate them. I should practice honestly."

Qin Yi took a step to the side and hooked his hand to signal Chu Jinyao to approach. Chu Jinyao hesitated: "This..." Qin Yi now looks like a young man. How can she be so close to him?

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. You can't practice writing without teaching it by hand."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held, and she could only see the other's slender fingers. Qin Yi was still in a state of spirit and his fingers were still translucent, but even so, it would not 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 martial arts are so powerful. Chu Jinyao was thinking in a daze, when her forehead was suddenly bounced. Although it wasn't 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, are you silly? 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. Standing next to Chu Jinyao, Qin Yi taught her how to handle the pen, how to carry on the transfer, and in some places Chu Jinyao did not do well, and Qin Yi was impatient, so he directly reached out 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.
