The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 41

The prince said, you missed the key plot. I won't show you this chapter! Go and mend it quickly ~ Qin Yi saw Chu Jinyao didn't move, so he directly stretched out his hand and pulled her over: "hurry up, I can't leave the jade pendant for too long. I can't practice without teaching."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held. She only had time to see each other's slender fingers. Qin Yi is still in a state of spirit and his fingers are still translucent, but even so, it doesn't prevent him from completely encircling Chu Jinyao's wrist with one hand and pulling her whole person with a little force.

Chu Jin felt inexplicably that it was a pair of martial arts hands. If you don't practice martial arts, your fingers won't be so long and powerful.

How many years has Qin Yi been practicing? He is so powerful in both literature and martial arts. Chu Jinyao was thinking in a trance that her forehead was suddenly bounced. Although it was not painful, it was enough to wake her up.

"What are you doing?" Chu Jinyao covered her forehead and looked up at Qin Yi unhappily.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, it's reasonable for you to be distracted? Hold your pen well and write in the way I said."

Chu Jinyao is still very interested in learning. If she doesn't, she will be caught by Chu Jinmiao. She immediately withdrew her mind and listened carefully to Qin Yi. Qin Yi stood beside Chu Jinyao and taught her how to move her pen and how to make a transition. Chu Jinyao didn't do well in some places. Qin Yi was impatient and directly reached out to hold her pen to help her correct. He is on Chu Jinyao's left hand. Every time he wants to hold a pen, he can only stretch his arm behind Chu Jinyao and hold her to correct. Chu Jinyao was very uncomfortable. She told herself in her heart that Qin Yi was a monster and had no sense of great defense between men and women in the world. Don't worry about it with him. This repeated many times, Chu Jinyao was also slowly used to it. She held hands by Qin Yi, pushed slowly on the paper, and wrote more and more smoothly.

Chu Jinyao used to write very little. She was very afraid of pen and ink, but now Qin Yi took it with her. She started it quickly. Later, when Qin Yi let go, she could write a few words in a decent way. Chu Jinyao was very happy. She turned back happily and said, "look, I can write by myself!"

Chu Jinyao turned back in a hurry and forgot that Qin Yi was standing behind her. They were very close. When she looked back like this, she almost hit Qin Yi's chin.

Qin Yi had to stand very close when he wanted to bypass Chu Jinyao and hold his pen. He was taller than Chu Jinyao, so he had to support the table with one hand and put the other hand around Chu Jinyao, with the feeling that she was familiar with writing. Now Chu Jinyao suddenly turned back and nearly ran into him. Chu Jinyao looked back and found Qin Yi's face close at hand. He was stunned on the spot. Qin Yi reacted very quickly. He immediately raised his chin back, then lowered his eyes and glanced at Chu Jinyao: "what are you doing?"

Chu Jinyao was very embarrassed. This was the first time she was so close to a man. At this moment, she clearly realized that Qin Yi was a man and she could no longer get along with him as before. Chu Jinyao was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, but he found that Qin Yi's chin was much thinner. His face was so transparent that it almost melted into the air. There was a light and fragile beauty, which made his facial features more exquisite.

However, Chu Jinyao had no intention to appreciate Qin Yi's outstanding appearance. She said anxiously, "what's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable?"

Qin Yi himself looked disapproval: "nothing. It's been too long since he left the jade pendant. The spirit can't support him. Just go back and raise him."

What is raising? Can you make fun of the soul? Chu Jinyao was really angry: "since you can't come out for too long, go back quickly! It's also my fault. I just focused on practicing calligraphy and didn't pay attention to you."

"I'm fine," Qin Yi said, adding, "don't think about it. It has nothing to do with you."

"Well, I know. Go back quickly!"

Qin Yi has been a restless person since childhood. He hates bondage most. Now he is confined to the jade pendant. It's an unspeakable boredom. Qin Yi didn't want to go back at all if he could get out of that restricted place. But Chu Jinyao was so anxious that she was crying. Qin Yi had no choice but to return to the jade pendant reluctantly.

At the jade pendant, the weak soul felt much better immediately. Qin Yi sighed softly and immediately comforted Chu Jinyao: "I'm fine. Don't cry."

Is that okay? Chu Jinyao is really about to be cried by Qin Yi. Why doesn't this man take his body seriously at all? She was bored for a while. She didn't know who she was angry with. Finally, she said, "don't do this next time."

"Well, good," Qin Yi replied without much distraction. He yawned lazily and said, "it's time for you to practice calligraphy. This is water grinding Kung Fu. You can't be lazy."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sat at his desk, picked up his pen and said while dipping in ink, "I'm practicing calligraphy here. If you're sleepy, take a break first. I'll accompany you."

Qin Yi chuckled: "I'm not a child. I can't use people to accompany me." although he said so, the loss of the spirit is too great today. He only supported it for a while, but he couldn't survive and fell asleep.

Chu Jinyao looks at Qin Yi and is more careful. In the study, you can only hear the rustle of the tip of a pen.

As the night grew deeper and deeper, the little servant girls lit lanterns one by one on the corridor, and the lights were also lit in all courtyards of Changxing Marquis house. At this time, few people in the house have moved around. Regardless of what they say and do in the daytime, those who can sit under the same lamp are the real close people.

Chu Jinmiao covered the lampshade on the candlestick and asked, "isn't father coming today?"

Mammy Zhang said, "it's all this point. I'm afraid the marquis will stay in that hospital tonight."

Chu Jinmiao is a girl and shouldn't ask about her father and aunt, but Chu Jinmiao has been close to Zhao since she was a child. Zhao has been wronged by her aunt and loves to talk to Chu Jinmiao. Over time, the people in Zhao's house get used to it.

The Marquis of Changxing had one wife and three concubines. Although Zhao's main room was in a stable position, it was only a matter of face. Among them, Aunt Huang was really favored.

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

When Zhao entered the door, she was the eldest daughter-in-law and Mrs. Hou. I don't know how many people stared at her stomach. Zhao's entry was almost a year before she became pregnant. However, despite many expectations, Zhao didn't kill a man in one fell swoop, but gave birth to a big girl. Although the old lady of Chu was slightly disappointed, she still gave Zhao dignity. As soon as she was born, she took the big girl away and brought her up strictly according to the style of her eldest granddaughter. Although it is emotionally unfair to the mother that the child was taken away at birth, it is extremely dignified and shows the status of the mother and child to leave it in the noble family and raise the granddaughter by the elders themselves. After the big girl was taken away, Zhao's Mao tried to regenerate, but he was not pregnant for a long time. Instead, he was the son of Mr. Yan in the second room and became the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Changxing. Zhao was under great pressure and had to stop taking medicine for several aunts.

When Zhao was pregnant with a big girl, she couldn't serve Changxing Hou. Concubinage was inevitable. Old lady Chu sent a servant girl Furong to serve Zhao, but who doesn't know what the real purpose is. Zhao didn't like her mother-in-law to interfere in her room. She kept pressing and didn't open her face to Furong. When old lady Chu knew, she didn't say anything. A few days later, the Changxing Marquis house was socializing outside. When she came back, she brought a woman, surnamed Huang, who was filial to the Changxing marquis by Taiyuan officials. It is said that she was the woman brought by Yangzhou. She was specially taught to honor the masters in the officialdom.

As soon as Huang got started, she showed her strong pet fighting skills. Zhao was not serious and thought that Changxing Hou was tired of it. However, seeing that Huang's strength was getting stronger and stronger, Zhao was gradually uneasy. She had to hurry to open her face to hibiscus and let Hibiscus divide Aunt Huang's pet. After Zhao gave birth to the big girl, she was not pregnant for a long time. She couldn't stand the pressure of her mother-in-law's family and reluctantly stopped taking medicine for Huang and Furong.

In the gaomen courtyard, aunts are half slaves. As long as the main wife doesn't nod, they have to drink avoid son soup after they go to bed. They can't let the blood of the concubines disturb the family's dignity and inferiority. The eldest son and daughter can only come from the belly of their own wife.

As soon as Zhao stopped taking medicine for his aunts, it means that a common eldest son may appear in her name, which is not a decent thing for Mrs. zhengtou. Zhao was under a lot of pressure and was easy to give birth to a second young master. However, before long, Aunt Huang and Furong were pregnant one after another and gave birth to a common son. Huang's family was favored. Now she stopped avoiding the son soup. After giving birth to the third young master, she slowed down, and gave birth to the third girl Chu Jinchan every other year.

Huang Shi gave birth to a son and a daughter, and his status in the back house suddenly rose a lot, and his arrogance became more and more arrogant. After Zhao gave birth to his second daughter, there was no movement. Except for the first and fifteenth days of the first day of the lunar new year, the Marquis of Changxing seldom came to the main house for overnight. Even if he stayed, he just sat down and talked. Zhao couldn't have her own blood. Mammy Zhang gave Zhao some advice and opened her face to marry the servant girl bailing. As long as bailing can keep the Marquis of Changxing, it can also be regarded as staying in Zhao's house.

Zhao reluctantly asked people to hang their faces for the dowry girl bailing and officially became his aunt. However, bailing is not Huang's opponent at all. It took several years for her to give birth to twins, seven young masters and eight girls. She is only six years old now.

Aunt Huang is really a dominant family in the back house, and Furong is the old lady of Chu after all. Even for the sake of face, Changxing Hou is not too cold. In a word, the coldest thing is Zhao.

Chu Jinmiao grew up close to Zhao and knew everything about his mother's room. When she heard that Changxing Hou had gone to Aunt Huang again, she was so angry that she put the tea lamp heavily on the table: "why can't my father always tell the weight? Who is Huang, and where is it worth his dignity?"

A girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet can't say such things as aunt. It's too salty. But there were no outsiders here. Mammy Zhang and others also turned a blind eye and let go.

Zhao Shi said, "who says not? Huang Shi is used to putting on airs and looking at her waist and legs. She can't sit properly and looks like a fox. But men just eat this set." the more Zhao Shi thought, the more angry he became, he couldn't help scolding: "they are all cheap bones."

Zhao's words were inappropriate, but mammy Zhang and Chu Jinmiao were silent and didn't know how to persuade Zhao. After a while, Chu Jinmiao comforted Zhao: "Mom, don't be angry with them, that is, if they are favored again, they can go over you? No matter how confused his father is, he won't allow him to kill his wife."

Mammy Zhang also said, "yes, madam, the love of men in the back house is temporary, and children are the real dependence. You still have two young masters!" mammy Zhang wanted to say that you have the eldest young master, the eldest girl and the fifth girl, but she thought Chu Jinmiao was still there, so it was hard to mention Chu Jinyao, so she omitted the girls together.

Mammy Zhang changed her mouth temporarily. Zhao didn't hear it, but Chu Jinmiao heard it. Chu Jin had a strange look and looked at mammy Zhang coldly.

The servants of Chaoyun hospital saw that mother sun went out arrogantly and put down cruel words to seek justice from her wife. Chu Jinyao calmly went out for a circle. After returning, mother sun was honest and dared not be rude to Chu Jinyao again. Several servant girls were surprised. They also respected Chu Jinyao and put away their contempt.

Although the foundation of Miss Wu is shallow, she is not a lord to be rubbed by others.

Chu Jinyao took care of mother sun that day, and went to learn poetry with mother Deng. When she returned to Chaoyun hospital, she was tired again.

But even so, she insisted on practicing calligraphy. Qin Yi looked at it, frowned and said, "you've been learning the rules for so long today. Let's have a rest first."

Chu Jinyao shook her head without raising her head: "this is the homework that must be done every day. How can I lack it? I can bear it. Chu Jinmiao and I are so different. If I don't work hard, I will be dumped farther and farther."

"She's just a show off." Qin Yi came out of the jade pendant, sat opposite Chu Jinmiao, took a book and said, "She's only relying on you to learn poetry longer than you. Other women spend most of their time on sewing and don't bother to use their brains to read, which makes her particularly outstanding in literary talent. You have the same talent as her, but your mind is stronger than her. It's only a matter of time before you catch up with her."

"Really?"

"Really."

Chu Jinyao chuckled. As she wrote, she said to Qin Yi: "Although I think you're coaxing me, I'm still happy. But no matter how much I don't like her, I have to admit that Chu Jinmiao can talk and win over people. You see, I've been back for so long. My grandmother, sisters and mother all like Chu Jinmiao better, not to mention my brothers. I think my two cousins like her better."

"I don't think so." Qin Yi said, "you can't just look at the surface. In fact, Chu Jinmiao's popularity among women is not good. For example, your eldest sister doesn't like her. Your sister is the eldest daughter of the family, and her eyes represent 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 doubted: "are you serious?"

"Of course." Qin Yi glanced coolly at Chu Jinyao. "Do I look like a person who can't see?"

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

Hearing this, even Qin Yi felt it hard to say: "your mother... I didn't expect that the wife of Changxing Hou should be so obedient and partial. If she continues to be like this in the future, she can only find someone to pick her up."

Chu Jinmiao was stunned and immediately asked, "what do you mean?" Qin Yi's sentence was so strange that Chu Jinyao couldn't help doubting his identity.

"Nothing." Qin Yi calmly turned over a page of the book and asked, "why did you just say two cousins?"

"You change the subject again!" Chu Jinyao was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pat him. Before she asked why, she suddenly heard clove report outside: "girl, six girls are coming."

Miss six? What did miss six come to her for? Chu Jinyao was puzzled, and the strangeness of Qin Yi was put aside. Miss six is the legitimate daughter of Sanfang. She is not very popular with the old lady, and she is cautious in her words and deeds. Chu Jinyao secretly thought that miss six is a man with a sense of success. But even so, Chu Jinyao won't take the initiative to approach Sanfang. What can she do to annoy the old lady? Aunt six Mother and Chu Jinyao have no intersection. They just nod and smile when they meet. What does she do in Chaoyun hospital?

Chu Jinyao felt strange. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi sitting opposite, "you said, what are the six girls doing?"

Qin Yi put down the book and said, "wait for its change. Go out and have a look first."

Chu Jinyao put down his pen and went to the Ming hall. Sure enough, she saw that six girls had stood in the hall. Six girls saw Chu Jinyao coming out from the East tip, and the tip of her eyebrows moved slightly: "five sisters are really diligent. As soon as she comes back, she will go to the study to practice."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "no, I just look around." Chu Jinyao led the six girls to the west room. After they sat down, the servant girl changed into a fresh fruit plate. When the servant girls retreated to one side, Chu Jinyao asked, "why do you remember me here?"

"I made some snacks and came to see the fifth sister." the sixth girl said, and asked her servant girl to present the dessert box. A servant girl with a double spiral bun took two steps forward with a red paint box, slightly opened the cover and took out a stack of small plum blossom cakes from it. The sixth girl smiled and said, "I made it casually. Don't dislike the fifth sister."

"How could it be." Chu Jinyao smiled and asked the servant girl to put the plate of plum blossom cake and put away the other snacks one by one. Chu Jinyao glanced at the plum blossom cake of six girls and took back her sight.

Six girls said that she made these cakes by herself, but in fact, her girls did them well. Six girls did it by themselves. Chu Jinyao thought these cakes were exquisite and not difficult. If there were plum blossom 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 servant girls were praising: "six girls are so skillful." Chu Jinyao also smiled and said, "six sisters have a heart."

The sixth girl smiled and said, "if only the fifth sister doesn't dislike it."

Chu Jinyao looked at the six girls and everyone polite, but he refused to mention the subject. Chu Jinyao didn't remind her either. She chatted with her calmly.

Miss Liu waited for a while, but she couldn't wait for Chu Jinyao to ask. She thought to herself that Chu Jinyao was really calm. The sixth girl had to break the window paper by herself: "sister five, I'm here today. In addition to sending you cakes, I also have some selfish things to say to you."

Chu Jinyao listened and looked at the surrounding servant girls with her eyes. Kikyo and others immediately quit with interest: "slaves and maidservants go to prepare melons and fruits for the girls."

When the miscellaneous girl was almost gone, the sixth girl lowered her voice, propped her elbow on the table and leaned slightly towards Chu Jinyao: "sister five, I came today to tell you quietly that the fourth girl wants to place spies around you."

Chu Jinyao accidentally picked her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How do you say that?"

"I have a servant girl who was born at home. She was very popular. That day she went to talk to her little sister and heard what the servant girl sweeping in the four girls' Yard said. When the four girls talked to people, she didn't notice the people standing behind the bushes, which was heard by the little girl. When my servant girl knew the truth, she told me when she came back. I thought about it and thought about it. There was nothing wrong, so she came to tell the fifth sister Sister. "

Chu Jinyao's smile remained unchanged after listening, but she left her mind. Not to mention whether the girl's eavesdropping is true, even if it is true, why did the sixth girl tell her? Chu Jinyao didn't say anything, but said, "it's hard for you to think of me, but we are all sisters in the same house. If we are heard, we will probably have to chew our tongue. I'm sorry that the sixth sister took such a risk for me."

Six girls said: "Sister five, I don't know. I feel very congenial when I see you. In fact, like you, I'm not much favored in the Marquis house. I'm not as popular as four girls and seven girls. I have to survive carefully in the cracks. Seeing that you are in trouble everywhere, I feel pity for you, so I always want to help you do something. But I'm not favored either. I'm afraid I'm more than willing to help Feet. "

Chu Jinyao said with a smile, "I'm very moved that sixth sister thinks so. Sixth sister doesn't need to do anything for me. I know your heart is enough."

Seeing that Chu Jinyao refused to speak, the sixth girl had to take out her cards and said, "sister five, do you know why Mrs. Hou suddenly thought of sending you a nurturing mother?"

Chu Jinyao asked, "why?"

"That's not the one who did it. Girls, although there are mothers in the yard, it's nominally a discipline rule, but it's not the same thing at all. If you were a girl, your mother would have arranged for you. Everything in the yard is in the hands of the girl. To discipline the mother is just to make a black face for the girl and scare the servant girls. But there's something wrong with your mother. There's such a person In, everything you do has to go through her hands. You can't accomplish anything. Don't say anything, and your every move will be spread by her. You say, "who will benefit if you go on like this?"

"You mean, four girls?"

"That's right. Sister five, it's a critical time to choose a companion. My aunt, the son and the Queen's mother are all in our house. When they go back, the princess will ask my aunt and mother about us, and my aunt won't say it. Mother's evaluation of us is important. If they say a good word, it's better than a hundred words, but they only have one bad word , then it's useless for us to explain a thousand or ten thousand words. Is that right, sister five? The fourth girl has placed a nurturing mother beside you. If she steals something for you with this mother, or asks mother to arrange something for you, when it reaches mother Hua and mother Deng, everything will be over. "

Chu Jinyao thought that she didn't intend to choose this Companion to read, but now she just studied with the Queen's mother. Chu Jinyao didn't care about her evaluation, so mother sun didn't have the key as six girls said.

Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't speak, Miss Liu thought she was frightened, so she continued: "Elder sister, you see that the royal residence will choose two accompanying students for the county leader. We are in sympathy with each other. Should we unite? If we don't do anything, Chu Jinmiao will become more and more rampant. We don't know how to plan for us. If we unite, multiple people are multiple forces. Even if something happens, there will be someone to discuss."

Chu Jinyao said "Oh" in her heart. It turned out that the six girls had this idea and came to make an alliance with her. Chu Jinyao had no intention of reading with the king's residence, and didn't want to get involved in their internal fight. She was about to refuse, when she suddenly felt the jade pendant on her chest shake.

Chu Jinyao's face didn't move, but his words turned a big corner: "I'm very moved that you think of me like this. I don't understand anything when I'm new here. If six younger sisters don't dislike me and are willing to help me, I'm very grateful."

The sixth girl finally showed her sincere smile: "we sisters are poor people. As long as we unite, there will always be a way."
