The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Xiao Linzi looked and looked in the direction where the prince was leaving, and the question of Miss Chu sounded in her mind: "Look at them, are they human?"

Rao is Xiaolinzi who thinks he is knowledgeable. He has been in and out of the palace like a sword and shadow, and now he doesn't know how to answer the conversation. He opened his mouth and said in amazement: "Yes... right."

Xiao Linzi didn't know why he added a tone particle after the categorical answer.

Chu Jinyao couldn't help turning her head, raising her neck and looking in that direction. However, after these delays, the group had already left, and now they can't even see their backs.

Chu Jinyao murmured inaudibly, "How come...Is it because I think it's bad?"

Qi Ze is obviously a spirit in the jade pendant, why does he appear in the world like a hall? She just took a closer look, and there was a shadow under the gang's feet, they were indeed human.

At this time, let Chu Jinyao comfort herself that those of his kind could not do it.

why is that? Or is there really such a similar-looking person in the world?

Xiao Linzi watched Chu Jinyao lower his head, his expression seemed to be low, he observed it coldly for a while, and asked tentatively, "Miss Chu, why do you ask like this?"

"Nothing." Chu Jinyao shook her head, "I just think they are very strange."

Because they behave strangely, dare to say that their prince is not a human being? Xiao Linzi didn't know what to say. Because the prince was out of the palace in secret, except for a few close people, no one knew that the prince had left the border, so it was inevitable that he had to dodge a little along the way.

This girl, Chu, may have seen the prince and a group of people evasive and sneaky, so she mistakenly thought that the prince was not a human being. Xiao Linzi reluctantly made sense of himself, but then he "bah bah bah" to himself.

Does he want his life, dare to say that their prince is sneaky?

Chu Jinyao and Xiao Linzi were thoughtful, and the other's expressions changed a little. Neither of them had the intention to take care of each other, but they were all in peace, and neither of them made the other suspect suspicious. Chu Jinyao was occupied by Qin Yi's mind, and she said goodbye to Xiaolinzi, and then walked out of the garden with one foot and one foot shallow.

Until Chu Jinyao stood outside the flower hall, she suddenly realized that her purse hadn't been found yet!

Chu Jinyao sighed deeply. The loss of her belongings was so important, but now, she couldn't even feel a little bit of interest.

Linglong anxiously guarded outside the house, craned her neck to look at the people coming and going, suddenly her eyes condensed, and she quickly ran down the steps: "Girl!"

"exquisite?"

"Oh girl, did the slave girl find you? Where did you go?" With that said, Linglong hurriedly looked Chu Jinyao up and down, until she saw that Chu Jinyao was still in the same clothes. There was nothing wrong with her expression, and she finally let out a long sigh.

Linglong had already thought about the worst situation again, but fortunately, in the end it was her unreasonable worries.

Chu Jinyao said in a few words about what happened just now: "My clothes were wet, and a maid volunteered to take me to change clothes. Halfway through, I felt that something was not right, so I got out and returned. Unfortunately, when I was halfway down, I got lost. , This has been delayed until now." Naturally, Chu Jinyao covered up Qin Yi's affairs.

Linglong felt horrified when she heard it, she patted her heart, repeatedly saying: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!"

Chu Jinyao asked, "What about you? When I went out, I looked for you and haven't seen anyone for a long time. Where have you been?"

"The fourth lady's maid went to the kitchen to get things and said that there was not enough manpower, so she took me away. However, the slave and maid refused, thinking that there would be nothing to delay if she only left for a while. Who knows, we won't see the girl again when she comes back."

"Go to the kitchen to fetch things..." Chu Jinyao seemed to feel something, and suddenly asked, "Who did you see when you came back?"

"I didn't see anyone. The servant girl was so frightened that he couldn't find the girl, so she hurried to ask people to inquire about it. The six girls told the servant girl that the girl followed a servant girl in a double-breasted bun and an azurite skirt and left."

Chu Jinyao's eyes flashed, and she asked with some smile, "Shi Qing?"

Linglong didn't know why: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Chu Jinyao shook her head and exhaled: "It's nothing, but it's a lively experience going home. It is estimated that Chaoyun Courtyard will be able to completely change people this time."

"Girl, you mean..."

"When you go out, don't mention these things." Chu Jinyao said, "I know who is innocent and who is not clean today. Come here with your ears."

Linglong Yiyan stretched out her ears, Chu Jinyao said something lowly, and Linglong was immediately shocked: "Ah, girl, this!"

Chu Jinyao motioned Linglong not to say more, she said: "Don't say anything, just go and find it secretly. Stare carefully at the people next to Chu Jinmiao."

Linglong responded quickly, even though she tried to restrain her expression, she still couldn't hide her panic.

Chu Jinyao adjusted the skirt and walked into the flower hall with a calm expression. When the girls in the flower hall saw Chu Jinyao, they all said, "Ms. Chu Wu went out to change her clothes. Why did she go so long? Ah, you didn't change your clothes."

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "I lost my way in the garden, and the girl who showed me the way was so playful that she ran out of sight. I walked around for a long time and finally found it. Fortunately, after this tossing. , The water marks on the dress are all dry, so there is no need to change clothes."

"That's it..." The ladies thoughtfully looked at Chu Jinyao's dress, and found that although Chu Jinyao's skirt was covered with dust, his clothes were neat and tidy. When you go out, you will be like when you come back. Nothing. The slightest embarrassment. They looked at it and didn't think there was anything wrong, so they looked away indifferently.

Even the county owner just asked. Hearing that the maid who gave Chu Jinyao ran away by herself, she said angrily: "These people are damned, I will report to my mother and let my mother punish them severely!"

After the county lord finished cursing, he later remembered: "By the way, didn't your sisters go out looking for you? Why are you back, they haven't come back?"

"I haven't come back yet." Chu Jinyao smiled intentionally, "I have been walking for so long, I want to ask them too."

As he was talking, there was a noise from the door, and Chu Jinmiao opened the door curtain with a look of misfortune. Her face was very ugly, and she kept cursing Six Girls in her heart, but when she looked up, she saw Chu Jinyao smiling and standing there leisurely.

Chu Jinmiao was taken aback, almost hitting the ground with what was in his hand.

But this is not over yet, Chu Jinyao smiled and asked leisurely: "Sister Si, Sister Third, where have you been?"

Chu Jinmiao pulled his face, turned his head and said nothing. At this time Miss Six also bent over and came in. Chu Jinyao stepped forward and smiled and said to Miss Six: "I heard that Miss Six specially pointed out the way for my maid and helped everyone out to find me."

Six girls' eyes flashed, and she still had a weak and calm expression. Chu Jinyao looked into her eyes and slowly said, "Then I am really, thank you for Sister Six."

After speaking, Chu Jinyao didn't want to look at these people anymore, turned and walked outside. The girls around didn't think there was anything, but the faces of the three of them were really strange and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Chu Jinmiao put his hands in the warmer and turned his face slightly, while the sixth girl, as if she hadn't heard it, still looked indifferent.

Today's banquet was carried out in such an orderly manner, until the guests were almost gone, and the day's disturbance finally appeared.

At this time, the old concubine's warm pavilion was very quiet. She leaned on the pillow and said slowly: "Have everyone here?"

Lan Ze replied in a low voice: "The few people who were serving today have been detained in the wood house."

"Okay. Call a few charming guests over."

Chu Jinyao had received the news a long time ago, and said for a while that the old princess had something to say to her privately. Chu Jinyao knew that when the time came, she was led by the maid, avoiding the crowd, and went to the old princess.

Chu Jinmiao, the third girl, and the sixth girl were not spared and were invited one by one. Today's matter involves the Changxing Hou Mansion and Huailing Mansion. The old princess did not want to cause trouble, so the Zhao family was invited. Sitting in the warm pavilion, Zhao saw a few of his own girls standing underneath, almost fidgeting: "What have you done today? You even alarmed the ancestors?"

Chu Jinyao was very calm, she remained still, her eyes dropped slightly, and she didn't talk to each other.

The county concubine was also sitting on one side, and when she saw this, she said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Changxinghou, let the servants clarify the ins and outs of the matter first."

However, the girls involved today are all girls, and it is not good for anyone to speak. A maid beside the old concubine gave a vague outline, but all the clan wives who were in charge of the host and were in charge of the prefecture, they all understood even if the maid said hesitatingly.

When the princess of the county heard about that part of the son, her face was already very unsightly. She glanced at Chu Jinyao without a trace, patiently, and said nothing.

After listening, Zhao was almost unable to sit still. Whether it was Chu Jinmiao deliberately making the game, or Chu Jinyao suspected to have an appointment with her son, this made her face as a mother bleak. Zhao cried: "Mother pityed you for being lonely at home, and then let you be a guest at the palace. But after you came out, did you just mess around like this?"

However, no matter how embarrassing the Zhao family is, they still remember that they are still in other people's homes. No matter what the truth of the matter is, what they have to do now is to cover up the matter and keep their face in the Changxing Houfu. So, Zhao reluctantly smiled, and said to the old princess and the princess: "Let the old ancestors and princesses laugh at each other. The girls in our family are fooling around. Even in your house, they don’t change the problem of being greedy. They are the ones who are making trouble today. Playing, unexpectedly shocked the ancestors and the princess, I really feel sorry."

Playing around? The princess princess was unconvinced, no matter what tricks these girls did, there was someone in her house who could bypass her princess and make small actions, which made the princess princess extremely angry. What's more, these women also touched the imperial scales of the princess.

They dare to hit her son's idea, they are so bold!

The princess concubine immediately put down the tea cup, she did not deliberately converge, and the porcelain cup knocked on the table with loud noises. The princess of the county tensed her face and said: "The girls in the Hou Mansion are lively and noisy. I shouldn’t have said anything as an outsider. However, my daughter’s family always has to be somewhat decent. It’s okay to love to play. It looks good."

The words were extremely ugly, and Zhao couldn't hold back his face at the time. Chu Jinyao naturally heard that the princess concubine was alluding to her. Chu Jinyao became so popular that she had been framed by others today, and finally escaped halfway through, and now she is still being run by the princess concubine. It is true that the children of one's own family are Baoshen, who is patient to be accompanied by her daughter? Who is staring at the son of ignorance intently?

Chu Jinyao didn't want to be a student of any kind. After hearing this, she fell into love, completely dispelled her scruples, and forced her back: "Forgive me for talking, I really don't understand what the princess is talking about. My family. My sister came to your house as a guest. During the dinner, my clothes were wet by the housemaid. I came out to change clothes, but I was lost by this maid. I am still confused now. I don’t know what happened, the princess is now Speaking of our sisters being nonsense, where do you start?"

If the princesses in charge of the palace are all such confused people, then this companion is not appropriate.

The Zhao family hurriedly called Chu Jinyao, but Chu Jinyao remained unmoved and stubbornly finished speaking. The princess of the county never expected that a little lady would dare to confront her, and her face was now stretched.

It was the old princess who came to an end at the right time: "Today's matter is that our palace is ineffective in governing, and there is fault first. Since you are called together, it is to solve the problem, not to misunderstand each other, and let the two sides renew the gap."

The old concubine took the initiative to pass the steps and admitted that the palace was in charge of the people. Chu Jinyao was not a person who had no eyesight, and immediately followed the steps and said, "The old ancestor said yes."

Chu Jinmiao was called here, and his heart was already cold. She thought that she was completely finished, but Chu Jinmiao didn't expect that Chu Jinyao would dare to confront the princess of the county face to face, which made Chu Jinmiao see another ray of light in Xiwei.

Chu Jinyao actually destroyed the Great Wall by herself and offended the princess of the county. This is because Chu Jinyao didn't cherish the opportunity. If this is the case, then can't blame her for pushing it?

Chu Jinmiao made up his mind and pretended to say casually: "Fifth Sister, you have been out for a long time, and we all thought what was wrong with you, so we couldn't help looking for you outside. Fortunately, although you got lost, you finally got it back. Here comes your wallet, did it fall when you got lost?"

In a few words, Chu Jinmiao characterized her behavior as worry. No matter how much the princess and the old princess knew, she could not let go. Anyway, she didn't leave any conclusive evidence, did she?

On the contrary, Chu Jinyao, her purse, is still missing.

When Zhao heard this, her eyelids picked up uncontrollably. She hurriedly looked down at Chu Jinyao's belt and found that the place where she was hanging her purse was indeed empty.

When the princess concubine heard this, the doubts in her heart rose again. She had asked the county lord a long time ago, knowing when Chu Jinyao would go out and when he would return. The garden is only that big in total. Even if she gets lost, can she really sleep for so long?

The county concubine couldn't help asking: "Fifth girl, it's not that I talk too much, but I really want to ask one more question, why did you walk so long when you got lost in the garden?"

"I lost my way at first, but I was still in a hurry. Later, thanks to a little guy showing the way, I walked out. When I came back, I found my purse was lost while walking, so I quickly turned back and looked for it. As a result, in desperation, I can only go back the same way."

"Xiao Si is showing the way?" Chu Jinmiao also heard something wrong without talking about the princess princess. Chu Jinmiao pretended to be innocent and ignorant, and deliberately asked: "It's such a coincidence. Thanks to this little boy for showing you the way, we must thank him. By the way, fifth sister, what is the name of this little boy?"

Chu Jinyao was a little bit troubled. This person only said his surname. Chu Jinyao really didn't know the other party's name. Chu Jinyao had to say truthfully: "I don't know his name, I only know his surname is Lin."

The county concubine frowned: "There is no servant named Lin in the garden, not even the housekeeper."

"No?" Chu Jinyao asked in surprise.

Chu Jinmiao cocked her mouth in gloat, even if she can't be a student, she won't let Chu Jinyao get well. It just so happened that God helped her, Chu Jinyao actually sold the flaws by herself.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while. The princess was very sure that there was no one named Lin in the palace garden, and the old princess couldn't say anything about this. At this time, the old princess was also whispering to herself, could it be that this girl was really lying? She is in the garden, is she acting otherwise?

When Zhao heard this, he immediately felt that this was Chu Jinmiao's lie, and now he can't justify it. Zhao quickly said, "You child, you always speak upside down. You must be the one who remembers the wrong thing. Why shouldn't you just apologize to the princess?"

Chu Jinyao bit her lip secretly, what crime did she accompany? Why should I make amends? What is the difference between Zhao's words and pressing her head to make her admit her mistake? Chu Jinyao didn't speak, but his attitude was clear. She refused.

The scene became more stalemate now, and the Princess of the county thought about it more suspiciously, and now Chu Jinyao's eyes changed. But the old princess really couldn't stand it. She was about to come out and muddy the mud. Suddenly, a maid deliberately raised her greetings outside the house: "Hello, my son."

The son is here?

The princess looked on, and Lin Xiyuan had already walked in. He glanced at the people in the room, and had already guessed the situation in his heart.

"Good grandmother and mother. Mrs. Changxing Hou, good ladies Chu."

When the princess saw it, she simply said, "Yuan'er, you are also present with today's affairs. Tell us what's going on."

Lin Xiyuan didn't talk, but looked at the old princess: "Grandma, this is..."

Someone from the old concubine beat her leg and slowly said, "The fifth girl from the Chu family has lost her way in the garden. We are concerned about her."

The county concubine then said: "Yuan'er, have you passed the garden today?"

Lin Xiyuan knew what was going on when he heard it. His mother was thinking about it! Lin Xiyuan was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to take a step back and said to Chu Jinyao: "Today, the imperial palace's control of the people is not effective, and the fifth cousin is shocked. This kind of thing leading the wrong way will not happen again next time."

Lin Xiyuan's attitude surprised everyone, and the princess princess shouted loudly: "Yuan'er!"

"Mother, don't say it." Lin Xiyuan also raised his voice slightly, and suppressed the words of the princess, "I don't blame Miss Chu for what happened today, it's all our own negligence."

Now the old princess was a little surprised, and the princess princess frowned and said, "We don't have any servants surnamed Lin at all, why are you..." It's the same as drinking the ecstasy soup?

When Lin Xiyuan heard this, he frowned and had to take a step forward and whispered: "Mother!"

His voice was low, and the seriousness in his tone didn't seem to be fake. The princess princess was startled, Lin Xiyuan approached, and he said something to the princess princess.

Several girls from the Chu family, including the Zhao clan, watched the princess concubine's face turn from anger to shock, and finally revealed a little joy. They were surprised at this scene, and they couldn't think of what the prince said, which made the princess princess face a big change.

The princess of the county looked at Chu Jinyao now, her doubts were swept away, but she couldn't hold back her face. She replied somewhat slyly: "I misunderstood. I didn't expect the people in the house to be so careful that they led the five girls astray. I will punish them severely afterwards."

Chu Jinyao herself was surprised when the change came so suddenly. After the reaction came over, she didn't have the arrogance of Princess Fujun's face, so she went down the **** and said, "Princess Xie."

It is already amazing to make the dignified princess bow her head. Chu Jinmiao's face suddenly changed, how could this be? The princess was obviously suspicious, why did she change her attitude in an instant?

At this time, Lin Xiyuan walked up to the old princess and said a few words quietly. The old princess also showed a look of shock.

There are few reasons why the princess concubine can willingly admit her mistakes. The princess of the county finally realized that it was she who had speculated and wronged the good people, just because of Lin Xiyuan's words.

Lin Xiyuan said that the prince was also in the garden today, and Chu Jinyao lost his way. It was sent back by Father Lin who was next to the prince.

This is enough. The things that Chu Jinyao lost, the whereabouts that no one has proved, disappeared in front of the absolute right to speak. The father-in-law next to the prince testified, even if the father-in-law was not even present, it was enough to sit down and let all malicious speculations fall apart.

Only Lin Xiyuan, the princess and the old princesses knew the reason. The people of the Chu family only saw the aloof palace master suddenly change his mouth, and apologized to Chu Jinyao's innocence, convinced of Chu Jinyao's innocence. When they were surprised, they also felt weird.

how can that be possible?

Six girls were slightly surprised. She thought that she could at least defeat Chu Jinyao today, but the result seemed to be counterproductive. And Chu Jinmiao's molars are about to be crushed, she has worked so hard for so long, and she has been fetching water from a bamboo basket, all of which is nothing? But the third girl grumbled her eyes and made up her mind to switch camp and take refuge in Chu Jinyao.

The Zhao family was stunned for a while. She glanced at Chu Jinyao suspiciously, still suspicious of the matter, but the princess of the county took the initiative to soften her figure, Zhao would not waste this opportunity, and she still promised in a lively manner. Down.

The princess of the county and the Zhao family said a lot of decent things. In the end, the princess of the county said: "Today is just a farce. It's good to say it. These daughters of Madam Hou are really worry-free. It's the same, it's very disturbing. I also hope that in a few days, Madam Hou will bring her daughter to come and stay for a few more days, so that you can teach me the gems."

The Zhao family quickly declined: "Don't dare, the princess is absurd." But Zhao was overjoyed in his heart. According to the princess, today's affairs have not affected the slightest, and the companion is still from their home?

The princess of the county said some more scenes, and only then did the maid send a few people out of the Zhao family. Seeing this, Lin Xiyuan stood up and said, "Grandma, mother, there is still something outside, I will go out first."

When the princess concubine heard it, she knew it well, and naturally said, "Hurry up, we won't keep you."

The Zhao family got up and walked out, and Chu Jinyao followed silently. When going out, Lin Xiyuan took advantage of people's attention and quietly said to her: "Wait a moment, I have something for you."

Chu Jinyao moved in her heart and looked around, deliberately slowing down, a few steps behind.

Behind Lin Xiyuan was a cluster of vines. Although the vines had all withered in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it was no problem to block the line of sight. Lin Xiyuan saw no one noticed, so he took out a purse from his sleeve and put it in Chu Jinyao's hand.

"This is the Lin...well, I don't know how to call him, nothing else, that's the person." Lin Xiyuan couldn't say that it was Father Lin, and it was not easy to be called a servant, so he had to foolishly said." He found your purse and asked me to pass it to you."

Chu Jinyao saw her own things suddenly, and the big rock in her heart finally fell to the ground. She didn't bother to think about what Lin Xiyuan said was true or false. She didn't care about etiquette and quickly took the purse from Lin Xiyuan, as if Lin Xiyuan would regret it in the next instant. Lin Xiyuan was helpless, a little funny in his selfishness.

He won't steal her.

Chu Jinyao felt at ease when she took the things into her own hands. She looked at Lin Xiyuan vigilantly, fearing that the other party would **** it away, and said, "Xie Shizi, the carriage is already outside. I will leave first."

"Yeah." Lin Xiyuan retracted his hand, and when Chu Jinyao took something, his fingertips inevitably touched his palm. Until now, this cool touch seemed to stay on his palm. Lin Xiyuan squeezed his palms without moving expression, and watched Chu Jinyao turn around and leave. After she took two steps, Lin Xiyuan couldn't help but whispered: "Be careful in the future."

Chu Jinyao was surprised when she heard these words, the elder son actually asked her? But the person in front of him had already looked back. Chu Jinyao was afraid of another setback, so he didn't care to respond, so she picked up her skirt slightly and ran forward.

Lin Xiyuan stood for a while, worried about being noticeable, and had to leave. He avoided the eyeliner all the way to the outside of the house, and respectfully threw a fist at the other person.

"His Royal Highness."

"Yeah." Qin Yi nodded lightly and turned around. Moyu glazed eyes floated on Lin Xiyuan, "Is your family done?"

"Your Majesty, it has been rectified." Lin Xiyuan didn't understand why the prince suddenly cared about his family affairs, and specifically asked him to go back and take care of his own affairs before coming out. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiyuan had already turned a lot of speculations in his heart, but in the end, Lin Xiyuan lowered his eyebrows and said: "Thank you, the prince is sympathetic, and let me see the elders in time."

"Yeah." Qin Yi still replied with carelessness. He suddenly asked: "What about things?"

Lin Xiyuan frowned: "What?"

"Xiao Linzi told me that he and a girl were looking for something in the garden for a long time. Did you find the last thing?"

It turned out that it was this matter, Lin Xiyuan said: "His Royal Highness remembered that it was my cousin who lost a little thing by mistake. I have found it and returned it to her."

"That's good." Qin Yi nodded, his face was calm, but he was thinking, what cousin, which cousin is Chu Jinyao?

And Lin Xiyuan was also thinking, what's the matter with Prince Guan, the purse of the fifth cousin? What should he do, and still say "that's good"?

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Qin Yi: The wind is light and the clouds are light

Lin Xiyuan: Keep smiling

However, the hearts of both parties: Is there something wrong with him? What does it matter to him?
