The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 45

Chu Jinyao is lost and is looking for Qin Yi to ask for directions. Chu Jinyao lowered her head. After a moment, she said, "yes."

There was a terrible silence in the room. Chu Jinyao stared at the candle and dared not look at Qin Yi's face. Finally, she blinked, forced back the tears in her eyes, and said with a strong smile, "we'll find another jade and try to transfer you. It's better than being trapped in one place for nothing! Besides, even if you have to leave me, what's the relationship? Anyway, you're an omnipotent jade pendant. You'll come back to see me in the future."

Qin Yi was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "I have asked people to look for this kind of jade."

Chu Jinyao was stunned, and his eyes were still shining: "ah?"

"When I find it, I'll let them buy it, regardless of the price."

Chu Jinyao had understood. She felt a little uncomfortable and whispered, "after that, you will go back with them, won't you?"

Qin Yi thought he was heartless, but he finally said, "yes."

Chu Jinyao felt in a trance. Not long ago, she was still arranging her life with Qin Yi, but now Qin Yi told her that he would leave soon. Chu Jinyao is a little confused. Qin Yi has been with her since she came home. She has long been used to asking Qin Yi any questions and saying anything to Qin Yi. It turned out that soon, she would become a person and face the gorgeous, deep and cold house door alone.

Chu Jinyao was depressed and Qin Yi didn't speak. They were speechless for a long time. This was the most unpleasant chat they had had since they met.

Chu Jinyao said it was false not to feel bad, but Qin Yi was leaving soon, and they could spend less and less time together. At this time, how could they use the cold war to consume the few time? Finally, Chu Jinyao said: "It's a good thing that you can leave and go back to where you really should go. Now that you've asked someone else to find Yu for you, I think you'll get news soon. We don't know how long we can get along, but one day is another day, and we'll be more and more happy these days. I didn't have a good attitude towards you. Don't care. When you leave, I'll set up a longevity monument for you , I wish you an early success. "

Qin Yi was hurt by Chu Jinyao's words, but when he heard the latter sentence, he woke up immediately.

"Don't you." Qin Yi's voice revealed a strong sense of helplessness. What he was most worried about these days was that he couldn't return to his body, or his body had problems. Chu Jinyao also said that he would set up a monument for him and worship him every day... Qin Yi said: "I appreciate your kindness. As for the monument, don't set it up. Don't do anything. It's enough to live here."

"OK." Chu Jinyao whispered, "I will. You too."

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's face in a trance and sad. He couldn't bear it. He said, "it's late today. Stop writing and go to bed."

Chu Jinyao shook her head: "no, it's half written. It's always to be finished."

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's wrists shaking and felt pity. He simply appeared and said, "it's not right for you to hold the pen. Do this." then he covered Chu Jinyao's hand and took her to write on the paper.

With Qin Yi's help, Chu Jinyao immediately saved a lot of effort. Qin Yi is still a soul. His hand is covered on the back of Chu Jinyao's hand. It is cool and empty. Chu Jinyao tilts her head slightly and can clearly see her own fingers through Qin Yi's hand.

Qin Yi suddenly squeezed Chu Jinyao's finger and glanced at her coolly: "do you dare to be distracted?"

Chu Jinyao took back her sight and concentrated on writing. After a while, she still couldn't help asking, "Qi Ze, are you so beautiful and smart after you become Jing?"

"Huh?"

"If you look good, don't mention it. You know everything about writing and poetry. Even these intrigues in the back house can't defeat you. Are you all like this? I suddenly want to be a monster."

Qin Yi smiled. After laughing, he said faintly, "you think too much. Not everyone is like this. It's just me. So, you'd better practice your calligraphy steadily."

Chu Jinyao was silent for a long time and couldn't resist: "you really... Think highly of yourself."

"This is true."

Chu Jinyao rolled her eyes. Qin Yi felt her disapproval and calmly asked, "why, do you think it's wrong?"

Again, his tone was very normal. It seemed that he was really asking calmly, but the tail tone was slightly raised. Coupled with his calm and cold voice, Chu Jinyao felt a sense of threat. Chu Jinyao hummed secretly, but on the surface said, "yes, you're right."

Qin Yi didn't bother to pay attention to her. After helping her write the remaining half a page of big characters, he sent Chu Jinyao to bed.

Chu Jinyao put down the bed curtain and lay flat on the bed without sleep for a long time. She was afraid that the voice of turning over could be heard by Qin Yi. She kept a posture all the time. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see a tall and straight young man with exquisite facial features standing in front of the desk in the sun. When she heard the voice, he turned his head slightly, with inherent alienation and pride in his eyes. Such a feeling If you put your expression on others, you will be proud and disgusting. However, when it appears on Qin Yi, it is natural, as if he should be superior and proud.

This is the first time Chu Jinyao saw Qin Yi. She thought Qin Yi's voice was very good. Now she found that people's faces are the real masterpiece of heaven. The creator loves nothing more than.

Chu Jinyao whispered, "Qi Ze?"

Qin Yi didn't answer. Chu Jinyao sighed softly, "maybe he's asleep. Also, when is it?"

Chu Jinyao whispered, "you must have a good life when we separate. In this way, I will be glad to think of you."

She continued to say to herself: "Eldest sister will get married soon, and I think I will soon come. I don't know where I will spend the rest of my life in the future. I thought that I wouldn't be afraid to have you with me even if my mother-in-law is in trouble in the future, but now I think I'm too naive. How can you stay with me all the time? I really can't be too greedy. I should thank you for being able to accompany me to adapt to the life of the Hou residence God loves me. After all, I'm still alone. "

Chu Jinyao believed in Ma yourein and didn't know what she said. She just lay in bed thinking. For a moment, she seemed to see herself engaged to a strange man, for a moment, she made rules in front of her mother-in-law, and for a moment, Qin Yi stood at her desk and casually looked through the notes. Slowly, she fell asleep.

When Chu Jinyao's breath grew, a figure gradually appeared in the jade pendant. The other person's figure was very weak and almost melted into the moonlight. Qin Yi looked at the position of the shelf bed for a while and said softly, "you'll have a good time, too."

Qin Yi sent a secret message to his men as soon as he could show up. The people in the East Palace have been looking for the jade pendant around Chu Jinyao's neck. After finding it, he will try to get his men to sneak into the Changxing Marquis house quietly, and then he will transfer to the new jade pendant and return to Datong with his subordinates.

He is the crown prince sent to the frontier. She is a spoiled girl in the marquis. I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet between them because of the difference between monarchs and ministers and the defense between men and women.

So even if Chu Jinyao is very sad today, Qin Yi can't bear to make it clear. He will leave sooner or later and can't give her unrealistic expectations. When he returns to Datong, he will secretly send someone to take care of Chu Jinyao. If he meets her husband-in-law in officialdom in the future, he will take care of one or two as long as conditions permit.

In the first seventeen years of Qin Yi's life, he kept seeing the hypocrisy of the court and the darkness of officialdom. He lost his mother at the age of five, his little aunt and his father mingled together, and he was a grand tyrant who occupied everything of his mother. When all this happened, he was only five years old, so he watched helplessly. He grew up alone in the cold palace, surrounded by either palace concubines with ulterior motives or deliberate demands Good slave. Qin Yi thought that the world was like this, and people's hearts are evil, without exception. But he got to know Chu Jinyao by mistake. Chu Jinyao was originally a daughter of gold, but she was treated harshly by the farmers. She was a legitimate daughter, but she was excluded everywhere in her home. She was betrayed by fate, but she always wiped away her tears after crying and said that there was always someone facing her at home Yes, as long as she treats people with sincerity, sooner or later everyone will accept her.

Qin Yi feels incomprehensible. Why can such a stupid person be treated like this? How can he laugh? At first, he thought that most of the woman was mentally ill, but after getting along with her for a long time, Qin Yi always couldn't help but arouse the corners of his lips and relax slowly.

Qin Yi takes another look at Chu Jinyao and walks out slowly but firmly. Chu Jinyao likes Yunjin, wants to take care of her sister, and wants her relatives to live well. All these will come true.

The next day, Chu Jinyao went to learn the rules with mother Hua for a day. When she returned to her yard, she was so tired that she had no strength to stand.

Today, Kikyo accompanied her out. When they came to the door, they heard a loud cry in the yard. Kikyo followed Chu Jinyao and murmured discontentedly, "who is making noise in the yard? Haven't you seen the girl back? Are there any rules?"

Chu Jinyao thinks something is wrong... Listening to this voice, it seems that she is a stranger.

As soon as she crossed the admission door, she saw a woman standing in the middle of the courtyard. Her hair was shiny and shiny. Her hair was tied in a pointed bun and covered in a wire bun. She stood in the yard in a dark blue jacket and skirt, with her waist crossed, and was lecturing one by one to the servant girls.

Chu Jinyao frowned. Before she could speak, the quick talking Kikyo had stood up and said, "who are you? How can you show off your authority in our girl's yard?"

When the woman saw Chu Jinyao, she didn't come to salute respectfully like other servants. Instead, she held her neck high, bent her knees slightly, and stood up straight to speak to Chu Jinyao: "the old slave sends greetings to the five girls. My wife sent me to manage the yard for the five girls and teach these little girls by the way."

Chu Jinyao frowned in surprise and surprise. The woman sent by Zhao looked very domineering. If she sent her, there would be peace in her yard? Chu Jinyao sighed in her heart. Chu Jinmiao probably did it.

Qin Yi replied with a relaxed smile: "maybe the teacher who taught me is better."

Since childhood, the crown prince has been taught by special great scholars. These people should not only have profound knowledge, but also have noble morality and prominent reputation. The literary officials and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the important officials of the past dynasties, are proud to be crown prince and crown Fu. Qin Yi's teachers are not generally good.

However, Chu Jinyao didn't know what the teacher in Qin Yi's words was. She had stopped thinking when she heard that it was the other party's teacher. "It's said that a famous teacher makes a good apprentice. If it's a good master, ordinary people can't learn to imitate again. I'd better practice honestly."

Qin Yi takes a step to the side and signals Chu Jinyao to approach. Chu Jinyao hesitated: "this..." Qin Yi is now a young man. Men and women don't give and receive. How can she get so close to him?

Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't move, Qin Yi 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 girls cheered and flew to see. Even Chu Jinxian, the most advanced Zhuang Shuxian, smiled and walked quickly. The girls of the Chu family picked up the brocade and had a heated discussion with each other to compare which one was better. Chu Jinyao also gathered around, stared in surprise and touched it carefully as if she had encountered some rare treasure.

Chu Jinyao was amazed by the touch of the hand. Cloud brocade is a special tribute silk fabric from Tianfu. It is as bright as clouds, so it is named cloud brocade. The cost of cloud brocade is very high. With the cooperation of the most skilled weaver, they can only weave more than an inch a day, so it has the name of inch brocade and inch gold. All these rare and exquisite cloud brocade must be presented to the noble people in the palace. Only those who have access to the weaving house can buy a few pieces in pieces. Moreover, they are small in number and cannot be sold on a large scale. In this way, the market price of folk brocade can be imagined.
