The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was surprised, turned her head in a hurry, and wanted to stand up: "They, it's really rude not to say anything to me even after the palace is over."

Chu Jinyao turned around anxiously. In addition, for two days without rest, she was dizzy when she stood up abruptly. Qin Yi quickly caught her with his eyes and hands, and his face sank: "What's the matter?"

Before Chu Jinyao could react, he hugged Chu Jinyao sideways, and while walking towards the inner hall, he said, "Emperor Xuan is here."

Chu Jinyao's dizziness had just eased, and her body suddenly lost weight. She was taken aback, and she instinctively stretched out her hand to climb onto something that could support her in front of her. She was stunned, and when she heard Qin Yi's words, Chu Jinyao quickly said, "No! Your Majesty, I'm fine, but I didn't rest well, so I was a little dizzy."

"Really?"

"Really!" After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she found that her hands were climbing Qin Yi's shoulders. Qin Yi looked thin, but he didn't expect that the muscles on his body were slender and strong, his shoulders were firm, and the arms that supported her were also quite strong. He rushed all the way without even swaying it.

Chu Jinyao quickly withdrew her hand, but there was nothing to cling to. Chu Jinyao always felt that she was about to fall. She had to say, "Your Majesty, I'm really fine, you put me down first."

"Really okay?" Qin Yi was very suspicious, "You turned pale just now."

Chu Jinyao awkwardly covered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I'll eat something and get a good night's sleep, and it will definitely be fine." She just didn't eat anything in the morning and was so hungry that she was dizzy!

Qin Yi was still skeptical. He leaned over and put Chu Jinyao on the couch. Chu Jinyao immediately had to sit up on his own. However, Qin Yi didn't get up, so he pressed her back in this posture: "Lie down well and don't move. ."

Then he turned around and told the palace man in the room: "Pass the order and set the meal."

When Linglong saw the prince coming in, before they could speak, they were signaled to retreat by the prince. They didn't dare to defy, so they obediently stepped aside, watched the prince pinch Chu Jinyao's neck with their own eyes, and sat on the couch holding the prince.

The few palace servants in the palace blushed when they saw it. The dowry maids in the Changxing Houfu were ashamed and happy, and smiled and retired, and went outside to serve Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinyao waited until everyone had retreated before she had the face to sit up on the couch. She moved back unaccustomedly, but a couch was only so big, and Chu Jinyao couldn't avoid Qin Yi any more.

There was no one in the inner room, so Chu Jinyao dared to ask in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, what's wrong with you...?"

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao, and raised his eyebrows after a moment: "You still haven't accepted my identity?"

"It's not that I didn't accept it..." Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi and sighed slightly, "It's just that it will take some time to adapt."

It was not that she had never doubted before, but the crown prince is supreme. As long as Chu Jinyao raised the idea that the crown prince and Qi Ze might be the same person, she felt that she was blaspheming the royal family. However, Qin Yi couldn't refuse to put this explosive news in front of her yesterday. Qi Ze and the prince were always alone.

This is too shocking. It was too chaotic last night, Chu Jinyao was at the mercy of the middle of the night, unable to think about it. When I saw Qin Yi today, I was really awkward everywhere.

"It's my fault, because I lied to you in the first place." Qin Yi grew up so big that he took the initiative to admit his mistakes, "Actually, I didn't intend to reveal my identity at that time, and I didn't even intend to care about you."

Chu Jinyao can understand Qin Yi's scruples. People's hearts are the most untested. If she knows that Qin Yi is a prince with less than 10,000 people, can she resist asking Qin Yi for anything? Even if she can hold it back, what about the others?

Chu Jinyao nodded very understandingly: "I understand that your Highness is right to do this. I just came back at the time and didn't understand anything. If I knew the identity of your Highness, it would inevitably be greedy. "

After Qin Yi heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Chu Jinyao knew that the person next to him was the prince, so he was just thinking about asking for things and money? It's... innocent and cute.

"Look at your talent. What you should be thinking about is to ask for official positions and connections with me, not some yellow and white dead objects. If you are more courageous, it is okay to ask for something bigger because of the jade pendant that I needed to heal. "Qin Yi meant something. If it wasn't Chu Jinyao at the time, but was replaced by some other keen and ambitious official woman, maybe she wanted to be an imperial concubine... Qin Yi suddenly felt wrong when he thought of this. Chu Jinyao stupidly didn't find anything. In the end, he didn't send the crown prince over.

Qin Yi's eyes were very strange. Chu Jinyao didn't realize what Qin Yi was thinking about. She put herself in the position and thought about it. If she knew that Qin Yi was the prince... Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi and said with emotion. "If you said that you were the prince, then I would not have dared to keep you. I must have thrown away the jade."

Originally this was extremely rebellious, but Qin Yi didn't see any anger when he heard it. Instead, he burst into laughter and couldn't help but: "Yes, you can do this kind of thing. So, I did that before and saved it. Killed oneself?"

"You can't say that." Chu Jinyao was embarrassed by the laugh. After Qin Yi finished laughing, she looked at each other's eyes seriously and asked, "His Royal Highness, you just said that you were recovering from your injury?"

Qin Yi let out a "huh" and touched his chin indifferently: "Did I just say it?"

"So, you are there because of your injury?" Chu Jinyao slowly understood why Qin Yi could appear in two places alone. I am afraid that Qin Yi was injured at the time and the border blocked the news, and they had no news. Know it. After the news was filtered and passed to Chu Jinyao, she didn't even know anything, so she never matched the time when Qi Ze appeared to the Prince's coma.

The wound that can make a person's soul appear thousands of miles away, and heal for a full two or three months before returning, what does it look like again! Chu Jinyao felt more and more shocked, and she asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, how is your injury at the time?"

Qin Yi laughed and couldn't help but want to touch Chu Jinyao's head again: "Naturally, it's all right a long time ago. You listened carefully."

With such an indifferent attitude, Chu Jinyao wanted to say something, but he felt that it was over, and now it is just a post-mortem, and there is a suspicion of false concern. She was bored, thinking that she would be able to look at Qin Yi often in the future, and she would be careful in private, so she skipped this topic and said dully, "Not only did I listen carefully, but also remember that your Highness just said that he didn't intend to control me. ."

Qin Yi couldn't help it anymore and let out a chuckle. When Chu Jinyao said this, he was very wronged, but he just pretended to be indifferent, pitiful, and wanted to let people continue to bully her. Thinking of this, Qin Yi reached out and grabbed Chu Jinyao over: "In the end, I couldn't help but control you. You dare not say anything else, but crying is really boring."

Chu Jinyao thought that she was a prince, and she must be dignified, but it was enough to be blocked by Qin Yi on the couch today, and now he actually came to play tricks on her bun. Chu Jin wanted to hide behind her, but Qin Yi noticed her as soon as she moved. Qin Yi clasped her both hands with one hand, and easily pulled her to his side.

Chu Jinyao said angrily: "His Royal Highness, you are more dignified!"

"This is in my own palace. I want to do what I want to do." Qin Yi pulled the person over and looked at her eyes carefully. "Fortunately, I cried for so long yesterday, but my eyes are not swollen today." , Qin Yi patted Chu Jinyao on the head and said: "It's kind of conscious that you are a princess."

Qin Yi's tone obviously meant something else. After Chu Jinyao wanted to understand it, her face suddenly blushed: "Why are you like this!"

Chu Jinyao said this every time he was angry, and it was really harmless to Qin Yi. Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's bulging face with round eyes, and suddenly missed: "Since I returned to my throne, it has been a long time since anyone stared at me like this. After a long time, it has been a little nostalgic."

Chu Jinyao was shocked, she almost forgot that this was the prince. Chu Jinyao was about to sit up straight and pleaded with Qin Yi: "Your Highness, I..."

"Look, you're here again." Qin Yi was very unhappy, Chu Jinyao almost subconsciously avoided him, and sat upright and pleaded guilty. Before Chu Jinyao finished speaking, Qin Yi stretched out his hand and forcibly pulled Chu Jinyao to his side. Chu Jinyao staggered, fell on the couch, and accidentally hit Qin Yi's chest.

Chu Jinyao's face blushed, she pressed against Qin Yi's chest and wanted to sit up, but Qin Yi's hand covered Chu Jinyao's shoulder blades, stopping her movement. Chu Jinyao was stiff, with one hand between herself and Qin Yi's body, and the other hand supported the couch awkwardly.

Chu Jinyao's refreshing and thick hair bun was resting on Qin Yi's shoulder. He only needs to lower his head slightly to see the black waterfall-like cloud temples and Chu Jinyao's long, snow-white neck.

The woman's hair is really a magical thing, Qin Yi was slightly itchy by Chu Jinyao's hair, and his heart softened impossibly. He rarely said to Chu Jinyao in a gentle voice: "Other people are sincere and afraid of me. You don't have to be like that when you are in front of me."

It doesn't have to be so, what should it be? Qin Yi didn't know either. He took the initiative to ask the emperor to give him a marriage. On the one hand, he was disgusted by the practices of the Huailing County Prince's Mansion, but more because he felt that things in his domain were violated, possessive, and extremely unhappy. If you talk about how deep your feelings you have for Chu Jinyao, for example, you can't wait for her, it doesn't seem to be enough.

Chu Jinyao maintained this movement stiffly. There was no support point on her body. If she put the weight of her whole body on Qin Yi, it would be as if the whole person was leaning against him. Chu Jinyao didn't dare to face Qin Yi. With the help of the force, her waist was a little unsupported.

She was embarrassed and heard Qin Yi say "you don't have to be like this". When he said this, his chest vibrated slightly, and Chu Jinyao's hand was still supporting him, naturally and clearly felt it. Such an action, inexplicably makes people feel particularly close, even closer than last night... even closer.

Chu Jinyao's body also slowly softened, and she heard Qin Yi's things from others intermittently during this period. When Qin Yi was five years old, Empress Wenxiao found her husband and sister had sexual **** before the sick bed. She became angry with her and died from aggravated condition. At that time, as the only son of Empress Wenxiao, did Qin Yi need to go to the hospital every day?

Chu Jinyao guessed that it was necessary. Empress Wenxiao died of illness only two months, Xiao Qi was carried into the palace as a successor, and completely replaced Empress Wenxiao's palace, status, identity, and husband. At the end of November, the third prince was born. Calculating this time, it is clear that before Empress Wenxiao became ill, Empress Xiaoqi had secretly become pregnant. Hook up with the emperor, let alone how long ago.

I heard that Qin Yi liked to be close to Xiaoqi Empress when he was a child, but since the incident was exposed, Qin Yi and his former little aunt became angry and feuded and never saw her face-to-face again. After that, the five-year-old emperor’s eldest son had no one to raise him. Empress Xiao Qi should have been the most suitable candidate. However, no matter what happened, no one could let Empress Xiao Qi raise Qin Yi. At that time, the emperor had meant to establish a prince, and Qin Yi was the eldest son of the eldest son.

The emperor’s plan and the elders also agreed very much. Therefore, since Qin Yi was five years old, he spent most of his time alone in the Wenhua Hall, reading, memorizing, and learning Chinese characters. Just after the end of a course, the next Taifu was already there. Arrived.

At the age of ten, Qin Yi held a crown ceremony, was named the prince, and formally entered the Eastern Palace. For six years thereafter, he lived alone in Ciqing Palace, studying the sub-collection of classics and history, studying the righteousness of the family and the country, and studying the power of the emperor. When he was 16 years old, after offending Xiao Qi with a very high profile, he was mercilessly assigned to Frontier. At the border gate where Shuofeng was like a knife, he was seriously injured, his soul was separated, and almost something went wrong, but no one knew about all this except for his confidants.

The crown prince can lead the army to a big victory before a weak crown and turn the tide of the battle, but how can this be easily achieved? How many injuries did Qin Yi suffer in places no one could see?

Chu Jinyao's body slowly softened, and gradually no longer repelled leaning on Qin Yi. She said softly: "Your Royal Highness, sometimes I think you are Qi Ze, and sometimes I think you are the prince. In fact, I treat you as a prince. It’s more in the time of the prince."

Chu Jinyao felt Qin Yi smile extremely lightly, her chest trembling slightly. Chu Jinyao also knew that it was stupid to say that. Who was Qin Yi, how could he not tell? But Chu Jinyao is still very serious and wants to talk to Qin Yi: "You told me that your name is Qin Yi before. Actually, I should have thought of it long ago, but I didn’t find everything until last night. In the future, I will try my best. Look at it as Qin Yi. You are both Qi Ze and the prince."

Qin Yi was actually a little surprised when he heard this. Just like Chu Jinyao didn't know his name for a long time, in fact, to most people in the world, it didn't matter who he was. Everyone only knows that there is a prince. As for what the prince is called, what he likes, and what personality he is, it doesn't really matter.

Everyone in the palace called him the prince, and the old man in the court called him his Royal Highness. The minions around him called him the master. The only emperor who was qualified to call him called him... Oh, the emperor usually doesn't meet him, even if he has to When they meet, they will also refer to him with such unceremonious words as "you".

Very few, or no one, can say to him in a serious and sincere tone: "In the future, I will try to treat you as Qin Yi."

Qin Yi was accustomed to being aloof and giving orders, but he couldn't adapt to such an intimate tone for a while. He is a prince, no one dared to have close physical contact with him, not to mention verbally, Qin Yi disdainfully thought he didn't need it. Today he always plays with Chu Jinyao, in fact, because of the first contact with female **** yesterday. Young people are full of blood, so it is difficult to hold on to themselves.

Besides, this is his princess.

But after listening to Chu Jinyao's words, Qin Yi's disdainful and supreme heart also softened for a moment. Even if this moment of movement is fleeting, this is the first time that Qin Yi has been shocked.

Qin Yi suddenly felt that it would be nice to have such a harmless goose next to him. She is willing to toss, so let her toss.

Chu Jinyao waited quietly for a while, although Qin Yi did not answer, she also felt satisfied. She had planned for the worst. She was alone in keeping the empty room, being unfavored after marriage, the empty-shell prince, etc., she had imagined many times, and now accidentally learned that Qin Yi is Qi Ze, she is already very content. Zize is her benefactor, and so is the prince, so she has to treat him more and more well.

Qin Yi didn't like that the people in the room treated him respectfully and courtiers, so she tried to change it. As for how to grasp the degree of offense and intimacy... it depends on Chu Jinyao to learn by herself.

Chu Jinyao said in her heart that she has a lot to learn anyway, and it's not bad to have one more.

The two hugged quietly for a while, reluctant to feel the gentle atmosphere at the moment. However, the meal is always to be eaten. The servants and maids have already prepared the meal, but the prince and the princess seem to be quite close. They are afraid of bumping into something that shouldn't be seen, so they don't dare to bother and wait outside.

Qin Yi took the initiative to stand up, leaned over and hugged Chu Jinyao again: "Let's go, have a meal first. There will be a palace banquet tonight. You will have to wear ceremonial clothes. It is estimated that it will take a long time."

Chu Jinyao was too late to lament that there was still something to do at night, so she quickly stopped Qin Yi's hand and said righteously: "Your Majesty, be dignified outside, you can't be like this."

"This is not outside, this is our own palace."

"That's not okay." Chu Jinyao slipped off the couch while Qin Yi was not paying attention, and stood up solemnly, "There are so many servants in the East Palace, I am a princess, how can I lose my courtesy."

alright. Qin Yi indulged and retracted his hand and took Chu Jinyao to eat outside. After the meal was over, as soon as the two entered the room, Qin Yi waved his hand to signal that all the people who were waiting for him would go down, and then beat Chu Jinyao horizontally.

Chu Jinyao exclaimed in a low voice. As soon as she was about to struggle, she saw Qin Yi bow her head, watched her sinkingly and said, "Observe."

He has a clear voice, and when he speaks in a low voice, it is like a golden jade, which is incredibly nice. These two words with some strong words also became fettered.

Chu Jinyao's eyes were gleaming, and she was bewildered by the beauty for a while, but she obediently responded. In this way, she gave up her principles and let Qin Yi hug her into the house without any struggle, and then put her on the bed.

The moment her back touched the bedding, Chu Jinyao suddenly became sober, and her upper body hurriedly propped up: "His Royal Highness..."

After Qin Yi put her away, he took off his boots and went to bed. He calmly put his hand on Chu Jinyao's waist, and put the person in his arms after a little effort: "You didn't rest yesterday, take advantage of this afternoon. Time, get some more sleep."

It's just a nap...Chu Jinyao silently buried her face in the bedding, and let out an "um" in shame.

Chu Jinyao carefully thought about how these little actions could be hidden from Qin Yi. He couldn't see it because of Chu Jinyao, his eyes were full of presumptuous smiles, and the gentleman said: "Don't think about it, sleep well. ."

Who is thinking about it! Chu Jinyao was buried in the soft quilt and cursed angrily. If it weren't for his actions that are very fascinating, and his hands...how would she want to go to this place!

Chu Jinyao was angry, but she was able to eat and sleep since she was a child. She thought that she would attend a palace banquet as a princess in the evening. After thinking about a lot of miscellaneous things, I soon fell asleep.

When Chu Jinyao woke up, it was already an hour and a half later.

A few people in Linglong stayed outside. As soon as they heard the sound, they opened the curtain and walked in gently: "Prince Princess, are you awake?"

"Yeah." Chu Jinyao replied in a daze, and slowly got up from the bedding, "Where is your Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness has already gone to meet the foreign minister an hour ago."

The prince's big wedding naturally has a wedding leave, but for Qin Yi, this wedding leave only does not need to go to court, and other things cannot be delayed.

Chu Jinyao finally slept for a few days and was the only one to feel full, and the chords in his mind also relaxed a lot. She got up lazily from the bed, gently covered her mouth and yawned, and asked, "Why didn't you call me when your Highness went out? Your Highness got up and I was still asleep, it's very rude."

"The prince didn't let us disturb the prince." Linglong walked over and helped Chu Jinyao to get up. She said lowly in Chu Jinyao's ear, "the prince, some elderly people in the East Palace want to see you The prince stopped outside, saying that he can only come in when you wake up, look at the prince..."

"Have you waited for so long?" Chu Jinyao was taken aback, and said quickly, "please please."

As the palace of the crown prince, Ciqing Palace has a total of fifty or sixty subordinates, which is not counted as a dowry brought by Chu Jinyao. Even so, the East Palace is considered to have reduced its staff. I heard that Kunning Palace only serves the queen, and there are more than a hundred people.

The emperor was indulged in wind, flowers, and snow, and the harem was really beautiful, let alone the servants who served the beauties. Empress Xiaoqi is the only one in the harem, and she was an extravagant and top-notch temperament when she was not out of the pavilion. When she is now a queen, she will naturally become more unwilling to wrong herself.

Ciqing Palace is one of the largest palaces in the Forbidden City. Apart from Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, you can reach Ciqing Palace further down. If you count the discussion of "foreign affairs" in front of Ciqing Palace, the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace is not as big as here.

Like the Forbidden City, Ciqing Palace is also the layout of the front harem. In the front there is the prince to receive foreign ministers, and the back is the residence of the prince and his concubines. Now there is only Chu Jinyao in the East Palace, who is pure.

Chu Jinyao walked to the main hall of the inner hall, and the courtyard outside the lobby was already full of people. Before Qin Yi got married, he didn't stay in the inner palace for a long time, so the backyard of Ciqing Palace was completely under the supervision of the aunt in charge and Madam Huo. Madam Huo is a very old man. She was ordered to be by Qin Yi's side when Empress Wen Xiao was still there. It has been almost 20 years now.

The internal affairs of the Ciqing Palace are concentrated in the hands of Aunt Ziyan. Ziyan has an old qualifications and is very popular because of his fairness, shrewdness and ability. However, Zi Yan's energy is limited. She takes the overall situation. There are four other grand ladies who are actually in charge of the affairs below, and there are countless people who work and sweep below. Madam Huo and Zi Yan led the crowd to kowtow to Chu Jinyao, and Chu Jinyao gave them a reward after a few words.

Chu Jinyao is now a newcomer, and the position of the princess hasn't been secured yet, so she is not in a hurry to seize power. It's better to leave Ciqing Palace as it is for the time being. Instead, it is her who takes advantage of the first month of her wedding to stay away. It is important to lay a good relationship with Qin Yi first.

Chu Jinyao still had things to do at night, so after the palace people kowtow, they let them go. Chu Jinyao returned to the inner hall, and Linglong quietly came over and said to Chu Jinyao: "Prince Princess, when you took a nap today, Huanhua came in to serve you."

Chu Jinyao suddenly woke up. Wenhua was one of the four court ladies given to her by the queen. She was still taking a nap, and what Wenhua rushed in to do was self-evident. Chu Jinyao shook her head and said, "She is too anxious."

Linglong also felt the same way. There were so many people going up and down in the East Palace. It's not good to say something, but there are so many people in her heart. But today was the second day of Chu Jinyao's visit, and it was too ugly to eat like this.

The four people sent by the Queen were named Nefeng, Nehua, Nexue, and Neyue. From this name, Chu Jinyao can feel Xiao Qi's "good intentions".

What a joyous situation.

Sooner or later, these four people have to clean up. No matter what they do, Chu Jinyao is mentally prepared. Instead, she is more concerned about another point: "What about your Highness, what did your Highness say?"
