The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 39

The prince said, you missed the key plot. I won't show you this chapter! Go and mend it~

Lin Xiyuan entered the house with a smile. He looked ahead all the way. He didn't look around. There were so many girls sitting around. He didn't look up impolitely. Lin Xining went to the old lady of Chu and gave her younger generation a standard and leisurely ceremony: "I've seen the old lady of Chu. The old lady of Chu is in good health."

The old lady of Chu was always serious, but when she saw Lin Xiyuan, she couldn't help smiling comfortingly: "it's the son of God. How can the son of God think of our Changxing Marquis house? The hospitality is not good. Please forgive me."

Lin Xiyuan said with a smile, "what are you talking about, old lady? The Marquis of Changxing is the home of Zhong Ming and Ding Shi. Along the way, the rules of your house are well regulated, which has taught me a lot. How can you call the reception poor?"

The old lady of Chu was said to laugh. She seldom had such a happy time. The deep eight character lines on her mouth laughed: "just like the son of the world."

After greeting the old lady of Chu, Lin Xiyuan saluted like Chu Zhu: "second aunt." after that, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "second brother, big sister, second sister."

Chu Zhu returned to her mother's house and naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the royal palace. His second brother is Lin Xining, his eldest sister is Lin Baoying, Chu Zhu's concubine, and his second sister is Lin Baohuan.

Compared with the Changxing Marquis, there are too many descendants in the huailing palace. The prince and Princess of the county have only one son and one daughter, both of whom are legitimate, that is, the son of God and the county leader Lin Baozhu. The second master of the palace is Chu Zhu's husband-in-law, and there is only one son, Lin Xining, a commoner and two daughters.

Lin Baohuan is the charming daughter of the Royal Palace and the only legitimate daughter of her aunt. Since she came to Changxing Hou's house, many stars have supported the moon. But now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan didn't dare to be a little arrogant, so he quickly bowed his head and saluted: "big brother."

Lin Xiyuan is their eldest brother and the son of the royal palace. Even though he seems to have a mild temper, Lin Baohuan knows that their eldest brother is far more than that.

The girls of the Chu family saw that Lin Baohuan, who always had eyes on his head, was as good as a rabbit in front of Lin Xiyuan. They became more and more upset about Lin Xiyuan. Mr. Pianpian has a distinguished family background, beautiful appearance and always smiles. Which girl doesn't like this kind of good childe in the turbid world?

Lin Xiyuan stands in rongning hall, which is the focus of attention. The girls are secretly looking at Lin Xiyuan. They thought that their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding yesterday, but now they have seen the son of God, Lin Xining has become flat. To put it bluntly, like their brothers, Lin Xining's actions are noble under the guidance of his family, but they are not much different from his peers, because everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.

Lin Xiyuan was wearing a lot of eyes, but his smile did not change. There was no stiffness on his face. It seemed that he was used to being noticed. He talked and laughed with the old lady of Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders in a calm manner. He was modest and elegant. Anyone who saw him had to praise him, and the younger generation was awesome.

Chu Jinmiao looked at it secretly for a while and took back his sight, but the hand on his side was more and more tight. This is the difference between the prince's residence and the Hou's residence. If you educate your heirs, the second childe will not have the light of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she goes to the prince's residence, she will have the opportunity to contact people like the county Lord and the prince. In the future, by taking the opportunity of the county Lord, she can often meet the prince and maybe the crown prince! It's much more promising to stay in Changxing Hou's house!

Chu Jinmiao thinks so. Other girls are not fools. Daring to continue to secretly aim at Lin Xiyuan, who has a gully in his heart, has lowered his eyes and bowed his head. I don't know what he's thinking.

Their standing posture did not change, but the distance between the sisters suddenly alienated.

The old lady of Chu asked the old prince of the palace carefully about his body. After Lin Xiyuan finished, the old lady of Chu said with a smile: "It's really hard for the son of God to come here today. Since he has come all the way, he might as well stay a few more days. Our two houses are in laws. It's a very close relationship. Your aunt and Ning Ge'er are all here. You can take this place as your own home and live at ease. These are your cousins. There's no need to divide them."

After the old lady Chu said, Lin Xiyuan turned around and bowed to the girls: "Hello, cousins."

Although he turned around, he looked at the ground with empty eyes and didn't look at the girl's face. The old lady was more and more satisfied when she saw it, and even Zhao and others were smiling.

This is really a good man. He has a good family background, good talents and good conduct. He really has no choice.

When the prince spoke to them, the girls lowered their heads slightly and squatted down to salute the Prince: "Hello, cousin."

In fact, the sound of cousins and cousins was far fetched. But the old lady said so. They knew what the elders meant, so they half pushed and half obeyed. Chu Jinyao mingled with the sisters, lowered her head, tried to reduce her sense of existence, and greeted Lin Xiyuan like a fly.

There are seven or eight girls in three rooms. These girls usually have different temperaments, some jump off and some don't like to talk, but at the moment, they are all gentle and delicate, and the salute also shows the peak of etiquette class. If mother Hua is here, I don't know how much emotion to feel.

Yan's shrewd, sharp mouth is also the most talkative. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that the big fish could not be let go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to come forward and said with a hearty smile: "it's all a family. There's no need to be so polite between cousins. It seems that the son of the world is coming for the first time, and people don't recognize it completely?"

Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed and said with a smile, "yes. Please introduce my cousins to me."

As early as when Yan spoke, old lady Chu felt inappropriate. Before she could stop it, she heard Lin Xiyuan laughing. The old lady of Chu was surprised. She and mammy Gu looked at each other and sat back, intending to watch the change.

As soon as Yan saw that Lin Xiyuan should go down, he became more and more happy and enthusiastically introduced all the girls. During the introduction, she made a little effort in words to focus on the girls in the second room, while those in other rooms just took one sentence.

After hearing this, Zhao was so angry that his liver hurt, but he had a bad attack in front of outsiders. When Yan pointed to Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, he played a trick and said, "these two are the four and five girls in our family. The son of the world should be very familiar with the five girls. She just picked them up from the outside."

This is Yan's cunning. She introduced Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao at the same time, but Chu Jinmiao skipped it and emphasized that the five girls had just been picked up from the outside.

What kind of girl just got back from the outside? No one will think of the reason of being held wrong. The default in everyone's heart is the daughter of the outer room.

She is clearly a legitimate daughter, but Yan hinted that she is an alien roommate, but can you say what Yan said is wrong? No. Chu Jinyao admired it. Speaking in the back house was really a skill.

But Chu Jinyao didn't mean to correct it. She didn't have any idea about the son. It was a shame during the day. She wanted the son not to look at her at all.

Lin Xiyuan said to Chu Jinyao with a smile, "Hello, fifth cousin."

With that, his smiling eyes looked straight at Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinyao hung her eyes and didn't look at Lin Xiyuan. The others saw that although they secretly hated Chu Jinyao for getting Lin Xiyuan's personal Hello, they turned their eyes when they saw Chu Jinyao's performance.

The old lady of Chu also thought that Chu Jinyao had rules. Although she came from a poor family, she didn't take the opportunity to play with it. The rules were better than the young lady who grew up in the house. The old lady of Chu was so satisfied that she changed a lot about her granddaughter who came out of thin air.

Outsiders think Chu Jinyao is polite. In fact, the real reason why Chu Jinyao doesn't dare to look up can scare them to death. Chu Jinyao kept complaining. She was afraid of being recognized. In the afternoon, she made a special excuse to go back and change her clothes. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyuan came with the old lady and said hello one by one. Chu Jinyao was very sad. She changed her clothes. Why was she recognized?

Lin Xiyuan's arrival seemed like a stone, thrown into the ladies' quiet boudoir life like a lake. On the surface, the lake seems as calm as before, but there is a turbulent undercurrent under it.

This time, the ladies intuitively realized what it meant to be selected as a companion.

Chu Jinyao returned to the Chaoyun courtyard that day. When she went to bed, she sat on the small collapse in the West and complained to Qin Yi: "do you think I should choose this companion?"

Qin Yi thought about what kind of life he lived with his accompanying readers. He really couldn't say that accompanying readers was a good job without conscience. He said, "accompanying readers looks bright, but secretly, it's inevitable to carry a black pot for the prince and princess."

Chu Jinyao nodded: "Yes, I think so, too. But it's not easy to have Mammy to teach me. I was already short of others. Now if I don't grasp such a good opportunity, I deserve to be laughed at by the four girls. Therefore, I think I'll study hard in class in the daytime. When I finally go to the princess's residence to see the princess, I deliberately dress poorly and lose the election."

Qin Yi agreed. He found that Chu Jinyao's state of mind was surprisingly good, progressive, but free and easy. Qin Yi asked, "although huailing is not up or down, it's a prefecture after all. Don't you move at all?"

"It's exciting. But it also depends on whether it's mine." Chu Jinyao smiled, raised his jade pendant and said, "do you think I'll say I'm not excited?"

"That's right." Qin Yi wanted to keep his face taut, but he couldn't help laughing at last, "you dead heart."

"Who doesn't want to live a better life? If I have a chance to live a better life, I will fight for it. But I'm so ugly in front of the son of God. I don't have a chance. It's better to calm down and learn something from Mammy. This is the serious thing."

Qin Yi didn't speak. The common problem of men was that he didn't like people who tried their best to climb up. He always felt that a quiet and indifferent woman was good. But now, hearing Chu Jinyao say so, he felt very real and lovely.

The women in the harem who say they don't fight, actually don't fight, but it's the biggest fight.

"You should go to bed," Qin Yi said. "I'm afraid there will be trouble tomorrow."

Chu Jinyao sighed after hearing this: "it turns out that these girls hide their words in their words. They can't do it if they have a plan. Now they want to compete for the position of accompaniment. They don't know what they can bite. You say, what if I'm hurt by mistake?"

"Don't worry."

"Hmm? You mean you'll help me avoid it?"

"No." Qin Yi told the truth calmly and coldly, "I mean, you will be hurt by mistake. How can you beat the others? You have to eat more losses to learn such a thing as intrigue. Anyway, you have a solid skin and nothing. Don't worry. You should go and remember it for a long time."

"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao slammed the jade pendant onto the floor, took a fruit tray from the nearby table with bare feet, and snapped it back on the jade pendant's head. "Then I'll give you a long memory. You can sleep like this at night."

Qin Yi smiled low. Chu Jinyao dared to laugh when she heard the goods. She became more and more angry. She had planned to scare him. Now she was really angry. She really didn't go to Guan Yupei. She went to bed by herself, put down the curtain and went to bed.

After the candle lights went out, only the moonlight scattered on the floor alone through the window lattice, clear and quiet. In the moonlight, a figure slowly came out of the jade pendant. He was very tall, straight shoulders, thin waist and thin body, but his back was very straight and bony. He wore a suit of indigo blue narrow sleeved clothes, and a four clawed Python was embroidered with gold thread at the cuffs.

Qin Yi's soul is getting stronger and stronger these days. Gradually, he can break away from the jade pendant and walk outside alone, but now he still can't hold the real object. The moonlight shone on Qin Yi and even projected through him to the ground. His face was almost as clear and white as the moonlight, his eyes were sharp and bright, and the corners of his eyes flew up slightly, looking delicate and heroic.

Qin Yi came out and walked around at night in recent days to see if he could find any clues from the Chu house. He plans to go to the yard in the daytime. He has a fever before he can count on Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi was going to avoid his eyes and ears. Before he left, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the shelf bed.

Chu Jinyao fell asleep. She turned over in her sleep and stretched half her shoulders and arms out of the quilt.

February is chilly in spring, and the night is quite cool. If she sleeps like this, her shoulder will hurt when she gets up tomorrow.

Qin Yi turned back, pulled up the brocade quilt and covered Chu Jinyao.

Qin Yi suddenly found that he could touch real things.

This is really good news.

It was careless enough.

Chu Jinyao has a thousand words and has to change her clothes. When she comes back, she is already late. Therefore, most people didn't see Chu Jinyao's newly cut skirt yesterday. Today, she wore the washed skirt. When the people in the main hall saw it, they were surprised and surprised.

Chu Jinyao did farm work since childhood. She exercised a lot more, was in good health and was tall than these young ladies. She was wearing a cross collar right Lapel wide sleeved jacket with large clusters of pink hibiscus flowers embroidered on the cuffs, and a purple cloud brocade horse face skirt with white background. On the pleats on both sides of the skirt, she sewed lace with purple silk and satin, the upper end was close to the skirt pleat, the lower end was a crisp and naturally falling ribbon, and the bottom was decorated with tassels. The ribbon is a little deeper than the purple of the skirt pattern, pressing one by one. When walking, the tassels shake gently, just like a peacock opening the screen. Chu Jinyao is tall, wearing a short jacket and a horse face skirt, which makes her waist more slender and graceful.

Old lady Chu saw Chu Jinyao's dress and looked carefully. She didn't say anything. The old lady thought, although the fifth girl looks the best, the rules are far worse than the girls who grew up in Hou's house. It's a pity. After Chu Zhu saw it, she couldn't help asking, "which embroidery workshop made this dress?"

Chu Jinyao said, "it was cut by the servant girl." Chu Jinyao was worried and didn't say it was herself. If not, she may have to be questioned, and what should she do if someone asks her to come to the door in the future?

Chu Zhu nodded when she heard that the servant girl had made it. "Sister-in-law has arranged some skillful servant girls for you." this skirt is really good-looking.

Chu Jinmiao just had a beautiful scene and pressed the sisters. However, as soon as Chu Jinyao came in, everyone's eyes were attracted away. In terms of value, Chu Jinyao's clothes are naturally far less wonderful than Chu Jinyao's, but they can't stand others' clothes. They are well cut and have new ideas.

Chu Jinmiao is dying.

Especially Lin Xining. After Chu Jinyao came in, Chu Jinmiao was sure that Lin Xining's eyes lit up. Chu Jinmiao tugged at his handkerchief. Sure enough, men are virtuous. Don't care what they say. They just like good colors!

Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining are cousins since childhood. Chu Zhu also likes Chu Jinmiao very much. When she was young, Chu Zhu joked with Zhao with a smile and said that Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining had a good time. It's better to be a happy enemy in the future. Zhao laughed off at that time, but he wrote it down in his heart. When there was no one, Zhao secretly asked Chu Jinmiao.

At that time, Chu Jinmiao couldn't tell why. She was naturally different from Lin Xining, but if she said how much she liked Lin Xining, she couldn't even make a mistake if she didn't marry him. Chu Jinmiao gets along with Lin Xining as a close cousin. He plans to let nature take its course and watch its change in the future. Zhao's mind is the same. But now seeing Lin Xining turning to see Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao suddenly burst out a strong discomfort. Even if she doesn't like Lin Xining, Lin Xining shouldn't go to see other women in front of her. At present, Chu Jinmiao is more and more likely to win the accompanying reader.

Her identity in Changxing Hou's house is too embarrassing. Although Zhao still dotes on her as always, what will happen in the future? Changxing Hou was more and more insipid to her, and the old lady was high above her and didn't care much about her granddaughter. The subordinates gradually dared to relax her instructions because she was not the serious master of the Hou house. Chu Jinmiao has been at the top for 13 years, so she can swallow this tone. But if you change the palace, it will be completely different. Maybe she can have great fortune.

Seeing that everyone was together, old lady Chu cleared her throat quietly, and the bustling rongning hall immediately quieted down.

Today, the girls all wear bright clothes. Of course, there are reasons for Chu Zhu's presence, but the root cause lies in the old lady.

The old lady learned yesterday that the Royal Palace was going to choose a companion for the county Lord, so she wanted her granddaughters to dress up and don't lose her face. Although the old lady didn't say it clearly, there were different ways in the back house. The news soon spread from rongning hall to the big room, the second room and the third room. Yan Shi was told to let the girls clean up tomorrow. Although she didn't understand why, she specially dressed up her two daughters. When he arrived at rongning hall, Yan said secretly in his heart that, sure enough, all of them came prepared.

Of all the people present, I'm afraid only Chu Jinyao went out without feeling it. She lived far away, had no news, and didn't have her mother's advice like other girls. As a result, she didn't know anything. She looked at the sisters' clothes today and felt very strange. She was deliberately tricked by seven girls yesterday, which dragged her big clothes to wear today. But why do others do this?

Now that I have cleared my throat, it seems that there is a big announcement. Chu Jinyao knew what she might have missed. As for what she had missed, she would know right away. She gathered her mind and listened carefully to the old lady's next words.

The old lady of Chu said slowly, "your aunt came all the way back from the prince's residence of huailing. One is to visit relatives, and the other is to do a big thing. This thing is related to the future of many people, and even the dignity of the Marquis of Changxing. Now, this big thing will fall on you."

Chu Jinyao was puzzled. Since it was a major event related to the Marquis, why did it fall on them? Chu Zhuduan sat beside the old lady. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "My mother-in-law and the princess trusted me, so they put this matter to me. The county head of the royal residence is 12 years old. It's the time to go to boudoir school, but the county head is too boring to go to school alone, and there are few girls in the residence. No one can talk with the county head. We Changxing Marquis residence is one of the best decent families in Taiyuan. The girls have good rules. We are still in laws with the royal residence and know the truth, Therefore, the princess means to pick two girls from our family and serve as the accompaniment to the county Lord. "

Chu Zhu's voice is backward. She looks down proudly. As expected, the girl and her sisters in law are surprised. They are the same people she sees every day when she lives at home. However, when she goes to the princess's house, the people she contacts are completely different. Moreover, the princess's house is not far from Changxing Hou's house. It's very convenient to communicate with each other. She won't never see them again when she goes out. Ladies After thinking about it again, I thought it was a great good thing and worth fighting for.

This is the most important part Chu Zhu concealed. If you let the ladies know that the county Lord's study is to prepare for the election of the crown princess, they can't tell how crazy they are. Obviously, there won't be only one imperial concubine in the east palace. What about Liangdi and Liangyuan after the County Lord becomes the crown princess? The princess and Princess mostly consider these when they choose to accompany the county Lord. The women in the East Palace are indispensable, and the county Lord is not For a virtuous Huirong person, instead of being calculated by women of other families at that time, it is better to arrange several familiar people at the beginning. They will unite and at least have a partner in the future.

Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of the princess's residence. Now it's still two to say whether it can be elected. However, the people of huailing princess's residence are all eager to run, but they don't care about another possibility.

The ladies' eyes were bright, and the girls turned their heads and whispered with their close servant girls. Old lady Chu looked at the whole audience with a cough and said, "it's all quiet."

The girls suddenly stopped and looked up at the old lady.

Old lady Chu took Chu Zhu's words and continued to play a black face: "Although the princess said she wanted to choose two girls from our family, it's not accurate. There are so many people in Taiyuan. If there are suitable girls in other families, the princess will certainly give us away and choose others. When the huailing princess's house holds a banquet a few days later, the princess will choose the most suitable two from many girls, so you can't be complacent and slack off. Since the county Lord is 12 years old, since Accompanying reading is to accompany the county leader to study. The age difference is too big, so the big girl and eight girls don't have to participate. "
