The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

"His Royal Highness..." Linglong leaned down and quietly attached to Chu Jinyao's ear, with a tone of gloat. "His Royal Highness was not very happy and sent her outside. Fortunately, Grandpa Lin came in soon, so there was nothing wrong. "

Chu Jinyao nodded thoughtfully, and Qin Yi was upset, and even scolded Yuhua out, which she could completely expect. However, Chu Jinyao could not guarantee that Qin Yi was unhappy because the maidservant made her own claim, or just because she was a member of Xiaoqi's empress?

Chu Jinyao had originally made up her mind to be a dignified and virtuous princess, but her background was not considered good, so she couldn't let anyone make mistakes. But today is just a beautiful flower, which makes Chu Jinyao angry.

What's more terrifying is that Chu Jinyao could vaguely feel that the source of her anger was due to the beautiful flowers, but not the beautiful flowers.

Chu Jinyao quickly suppressed some of his thoughts about crossing the border. She is very grateful that Qin Yi is good and wants to live with him, but she is an individual after all, and it is impossible not to plan for herself until she is good to others.

To put it bluntly, there is only one prince, but there can be many princes. Qin Yi's good life does not mean that she, the prince concubine, can live well. In particular, the prince's concubine room is regulated by ritual and law, and even has an official rank title.

No woman wants to watch her husband take a concubine. The folks may still have trouble with their husbands-in-law and in-laws, but in the palace, who can make trouble? What's more, a strong and thoughtful person like Qin Yi really wants to take a concubine, is she in charge?

Therefore, the best thing to do is to maintain the current situation. Chu Jinyao took out a part of sincerely caring for Qin Yi, but he also guarded the boundary instead of crossing the boundary. This boundary is a concubine. This is good for both parties. She won't be stunned by the momentary love, and in the end she will do horrible things, and Qin Yi is also worried about the friendship between the two in the past, and always treats her concubine decently.

This is very good, this is the most decent state of husband and wife among high-ranking families. Things like getting angry because the handmaid approached him, don’t allow another time.

Chu Jinyao secretly warned herself, and then gave up. But, for some reason, her relaxed mood suddenly became very bad.

Chu Jinyao didn't even realize that he was venting his anger: "These four maidservants can't be dealt with."

Linglong deeply agreed, with different positions and completely opposite thoughts. Standing on Chu Jinyao's side, Linglong naturally saw these few people who tried to subdue her own girl's favorites to be particularly unpleasant. Although it has only been in the palace for two days, no one can see it inside or outside the East Palace. His Royal Highness is very conniving to the prince. Today, when he declares the emperor, and after eating, he will not disturb Chu Jinyao from sleeping. Which one is not extremely rare. The exception?

Presumably, the four girls of Feng Huaxueyue also saw the attitude of His Royal Highness towards the princess, and then they relaxed. If not, the real prince’s terrible name is passed on for fun. There are no other women in the East Palace so far. It is not that no one has the mind to climb the bed, but the people who dare to climb the bed have been severely dealt with by the prince.

Linglong said: "Girl, you are not worthy of being angry for them. They have seen the goodness of your Highness to you, thinking that they can also be valued by His Highness in these willow poses, so they dared to give it a try. According to the slaves, this beautiful flower It was pushed out to test the waters."

When there was no one, Linglong still used to call Chu Jinyao a girl. Today, Chu Jinyao was inexplicably upset when she heard these words, she warned Linglong: "Don't say such things. We just entered the palace, when we need to be cautious, how can we get lost because of the freshness and indulgence of His Royal Highness? You are not allowed to say such things. You can beat other girls for a while. Don't think that we are really favored and dare to take it lightly. These are all temporary illusions. We still have to stand on our own."

Linglong frowned when she heard this. She wanted to tell Chu Jinyao several times that this was not the case. Today, when Chu Jinyao was dizzy, the prince's face suddenly sank and she couldn't be faked. The prince has been up and down in the deep palace for so many years, if it is really fresh for a while, can he let his expression be exposed? It must be sincerely worried, so I can't care about other things. This kind of subconscious reaction can't deceive people.

However, the authorities are fascinated, Chu Jinyao refused to let go of guards easily, and he dared not entrust his wealth to the prince. This is also human nature. Linglong could understand, so she didn't persuade Chu Jinyao in the end, but let Chu Jinyao slowly test the bottom line of the prince.

What's more, today is different from the past. It is better to be more cautious and suspicious in the deep palace.

Linglong no longer mentions the prince. She also found out that Chu Jinyao didn't know what was wrong, and when she mentioned the prince, she became angry with herself. Linglong changed the subject with interest: "Girl, what should I do with those four girls?"

Speaking of business affairs, Chu Jinyao cut off those useless thoughts and arranged them seriously. "Things are gathered by kind, people are divided by groups, and the same is true for managing back houses. If we deal with them, it would be too much. I am the crown princess, and it would be too much for them to deal with a few court ladies."

"what do you mean……"

"Divided into it." Chu Jinyao said, "Let them solve their problems by themselves. Such a big Ciqing Palace is not without other palace members."

Linglong already understands: "The slave and maid understand. Then what are we going to do?"

"Don't worry about widowhood but worry about unevenness." Chu Jinyao said pointedly, "We only need to hold out one person, give her dignity, and reward her. The rest will be given to them."

"The crown prince's trick."

"You don't coax me less, that is, you are willing to cheat me with such words."

Who is the other person who refuses to coax Chu Jinyao? Linglong smiled without saying a word, and withdrew intimately: "The slave and maidservant will go down to make arrangements. By the way, the prince, we moved the dowry here yesterday, and it is still locked in the apse. Would you like to see the dowry list?"

On the day of the wedding, Chu Jinyao's dowry was also carried into the East Palace. The dowry can be said to be the most important support for a woman. If the dowry is generous, the woman will have confidence in her husband's house. As the royal daughter-in-law, Chu Jinyao doesn't need to think about having confidence in front of the emperor and prince, but this does not mean that the dowry is not important. No place in the palace can lack management, whether the imperial concubine or the imperial concubine, if there is not enough money in the palace, even if there is a pamper, it is not easy to go.

Chu Jinyao thought for a while, and said, "You can take it, let me compare it."

Chu Jinyao's dowry is quite expensive, after all, she is the crown prince, just for the sake of appearance, Changxing Houfu will not show timidity on the dowry. The Changxing Houfu has been operating in Taiyuan for three generations. It can be regarded as a place of nobility. Thanks to its geographical advantages, it has accumulated a lot over the years. It's just a pity that Chu Jinyao's grandfather was defeated a bit, but even so, it was more than enough to give her a decent dowry.

What's more, Changxing Hou had high hopes for Chu Jinyao. This was almost a bet on speculation. Maybe the future of this Hou's mansion depends on Chu Jinyao. With this thought in mind, Hou Changxing became more concerned about Chu Jinyao's dowry. All the dowry gifts sent by the royal family were taken away, and the Chu family also accompanied the dowry equivalent to the royal dowry.

Therefore, Chu Jinyao's dowry list is particularly impressive. Her wedding is cumbersome and time-consuming. Every part of the six rituals is a good day for the Ministry of Rites, and every time she comes, she will bring corresponding gifts. The prince’s wedding was not a matter for one person. It was a matter for the entire court and the entire country. Everything was carefully selected by the Ministry of Rites, taken out of the treasury, and then sent to Chu Jinyao. Her betrothal gifts can be very particular, the number of each thing, what color, how much weight, are clearly recorded on the list, and will enter the history of the country in the future. So Chu Jinyao was very relieved when she looked at the dowry list. For a while, no one dared to touch these things.

Chu Jinyao carefully compared the dowry list, she had more things, so she had to know it in her own mind. Nominally, all her expenses are allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, the real cost is not her own expenses for food and clothing.

Thinking of this, Chu Jinyao sighed. The expenses in the palace are really terrible. In this place, you can't do anything without doing anything. It's amazing to spend money on the court ladies and eunuchs every day. Chu Jinyao put down the list and looked at the tile-blue sky outside the house. There was still unmelted snow in the cracks of the glazed tiles, shining coldly in the sunlight.

Just looking at it, you can feel the solemnity, gorgeousness, and coldness here. The capital in December was already very cold. As it approached sunset, cold winds rushed from all directions, and the brightly colored palaces gradually fell silent during the day, like a giant beast lurking in the dark. In the shadows, the expressionless maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and hurried past the cold wind.

This is where she will live for the rest of her life. How long she can live depends on how long she can live.

The dusk of winter is really unpleasant, especially in the Forbidden City. Chu Jinyao sighed lightly, put down the dowry list, and planned to call someone in to change clothes. She just stood up, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. Someone outside the door shouted: "His Royal Highness is back."

Chu Jinyao didn't realize his energy, and immediately ran out: "His Royal Highness!"

As soon as Qin Yi entered the room, he rushed to his face with a gust of sweet heating, and then a person walked over from the west room and yelled crisply: "Your Highness!"

Qin Yi solved the great cloak under the service of the envoy. When he looked back and saw her, he smiled unconsciously in his voice: "Are you awake?"

In fact, Qin Yi didn’t want to go out today. It was too disappointing to be called out to see courtiers on the second day of his wedding. However, his wedding involved a lot of people. Many people gave him gifts on excuses. Under the guise of marriage, he also Meet a few people appropriately. His younger brothers are getting older, and there is always no shortage of troubles.

He left Chu Jinyao alone in the apse, feeling a little sad. When I met with ministers today, I was always thinking about it. After meeting a few important people, Qin Yi didn't know why, just wanted to come back and take a look. Chu Jinyao is not a person who can talk and mix easily with people. She has been used to the Chu family for so long, and now she hastily entered the palace, I am afraid she will not be used to it.

When Qin Yi came back in the cold wind, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Chu Jinyao "hopping around" to greet him. A person as old as Chu Jinyao would naturally not be able to run and jump like a child, but in Qin Yi's eyes, her demeanor, actions, and words all confirmed this.

"I woke up long ago!" Chu Jinyao murmured dissatisfiedly. Qin Yi took off his heavy coat, stretched out Chu Jinyao's hand, and led her to the inner hall: "We got married yesterday, there are many today. People come over to give gifts, so I can’t show up. It’s still early when I leave, watching you sleep soundly, I can’t bear to wake you up.”

Is this explaining to her? Chu Jinyao was flattered and replied: "I understand that your Royal Highness is the prince, and naturally there are many serious things to do."

"Be serious." Qin Yi didn't know what was thinking, glanced at Chu Jinyao, and suddenly smiled.

Chu Jinyao originally thought that what she said was particularly virtuous and sensible, but Qin Yi smiled like this, and she felt that what she said was not quite right. If things outside are serious, then what is not serious?

Chu Jinyao was a little embarrassed, she actually scolded herself in, seeing that Qin Yi was still laughing, she was slightly annoyed and whispered: "Your Highness!"

Qin Yi saw that Chu Jinyao was really annoyed, so he held back a smile, and took her to sit on the couch: "Are you still used to it today?"

Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was asking if he was used to the East Palace. Chu Jinyao was very moved when she heard this. When she first met Qin Yi, how arrogant and arrogant he was, how could she care if others are used to such trivial things? Even if he is separated from Qin Yi's temperament, it is quite rare for him to notice this as a prince.

Chu Jinyao's heart was moved, and her eyes softened unconsciously: "It's all okay. As long as you think of your Royal Highness being in front, you won't feel scared even in a completely unfamiliar place."

What this said directly hit Qin Yi's heart. He also smiled, and raised his hand to pinch Chu Jinyao's face: "Who did you take the scriptures with? If you haven't seen it for a few days, you can talk."

"How can someone teach you?" Chu Jinyao glanced at Qin Yi sideways, seemingly dissatisfied with Qin Yi's words, "I obviously said it when I saw your Highness."

Qin Yi couldn't help but can't help but understand why there were always kings planted on female **** in the past dynasties, and the Taifu always persuaded him that all female sexes are vain, and he must be diligent and love the people. With these two words directed at Chu Jinyao, she then asked for any more official grace. Qin Yi felt that she could be dizzy, and all agreed.

The two of them were talking lowly in the inner sanctuary, and the gradually gloomy sky outside the house, and the rustling cold wind, seemed to have been blocked outside.

Tonight, the two of them will not eat in their own hall. The emperor and the empress set up a banquet, and Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi still have to wear dresses to attend. Compared with yesterday's state banquet, today is a family banquet. Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao quickly changed their clothes and went out together.

Qin Yi accompanied Chu Jinyao slowly out of Ciqing Palace. Chu Jinyao is a bride and a princess, and she is naturally wearing red today, walking in the twilight of the four together, like a burning fire.

For a man, having a stunning beauty standing next to him is really a comfortable thing, even Qin Yi can't avoid it. Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao and asked curiously: "Why are you sullen?"

Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi seriously: "This looks majestic and powerful."

Qin Yi smiled lightly, and saw that Chu Jinyao still had a serious face, so he smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, you can play by yourself."

Chu Jinyao had to rely on walking the last time he entered the palace, and today he can use step hustle instead. After she and Qin Yi appeared, they immediately caused a great sensation. The lady eunuchs along the way stopped and knelt down from a distance. The **** who sent the letter met them and immediately shouted: "His Royal Highness, the Princess is here!"

The people talking and laughing in the palace paused, and countless people stood up and saluted Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao: "Participate in His Royal Highness, see Princess."

Chu Jinyao walked by Qin Yi's side, slightly behind by half a step, following his expression indifferently through the road that was letting out of the crowd. After walking to the first table on the left, Qin Yi stopped, turned around and said, "Exemption."

Chu Jinyao followed Qin Yi, squeezed a slight and decent smile, and nodded gently to the people below.

According to unwritten rules, people with higher status will appear later. Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao are noble existences second only to the emperor and empress in the world. When they arrived, everyone except the emperor and empress had already taken their seats. As soon as the two of them showed up, everyone hurriedly got up, Chu Jinyao stood above, watching the Wuyangyang people swarming and saluting them, it was truly shocking.

The prince and princess were already seated, and soon the emperor and empress also arrived. After everyone gave gifts to the emperor, the grand royal family banquet began.

This banquet was held for the prince’s wedding. Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao are naturally the leading protagonists. Chu Jinyao is the first official appearance, and it is the center of attention of everyone.

Suddenly appearing on this occasion, Chu Jinyao couldn't help feeling a little at a loss. Fortunately, this kind of banquet has very uniform requirements for women, that is, dignified, smiling, and decent. Chu Jinyao is still a bride, and taking advantage of this advantage, most of her just smile and don't speak. If someone came to toast, Qin Yi would drink her and give Qin Yi the task of speaking.

After a while, Chu Jinyao touched Qin Yi lightly, and whispered, "Your Highness, I'm a little dizzy."

When Qin Yi heard this, he turned around and glanced at Chu Jinyao reluctantly, but his hand had already instinctively supported Chu Jinyao's arm: "I saw you drinking happily and thought you had a good drink. As a result, you just had no posture. How much did you drink before you fainted?"

Chu Jinyao felt her head floating, as if her whole person was stepping on the clouds, in a dazed place with no effort. In the chaos, only her left arm was strongly supported by one hand, as if she had only one focus point left on her body. Chu Jinyao knew that it was Qin Yi, as long as she thought of this, even if it was a grand and majestic royal family banquet, even if she accidentally got drunk, it didn't seem to matter.

Because Qin Yi is here.

Qin Yi hid her movements in her sleeves, and held Chu Jinyao calmly so that the weight of her whole body rested on him. Qin Yi said to Chu Jinyao in a low voice, "I'll let someone serve you sober soup. If someone comes to toast, you don't have to drink it. I will stop you."

"Yeah." Chu Jinyao replied, raised her head with watery eyes, and added sincerely, "Your Highness, you are so kind."

Chu Jinyao's eyes are lustrous, and they are usually crystal clear and brighter than others with tears in them. Now, after being slightly drunk, they are becoming more lustrous, and the tips of their eyes are like hooks. Qin Yi looked for a while, suddenly smiled and leaned down, and asked Chu Jinyao in a low voice, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Chu Jinyao blinked in confusion, obviously not knowing.

Seeing Chu Jinyao's appearance, Qin Yi didn't pursue her with her, but smiled deeply.

The second prince and the third prince came to toast, just in time to see the movements of Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao just now. The second prince was taken aback, and immediately smiled ambiguously: "It seems that we are not here at the right time."

Now Qin Yi has completely lost his mind to attend to these entertainments. When he sees the people coming, the smile on his face fades again: "It turns out to be you, the second brother, and the third brother."

The second prince raised the wine bottle in his hand and said loudly to Qin Yi: "Congratulations to the emperor's newly married brother, and wish the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife a hundred years.

The relationship between the second prince and Qin Yi is neither good nor bad. Qin Yi went to the Wenhua Temple alone when he was five years old, while the second prince grew up at the No. 5 Institute of Ganxi. Over the years, Qin Yi and the second prince had few opportunities to meet each other, not to mention the personal friendship. As for the third prince, Xiao Qi's aunt...heh, there is no need to mention it.

After hearing what the second prince said, Qin Yi drank a bottle of wine happily, and then he wanted to send these people away. Chu Jinyao is now drunk, why should he show it to other men?

The second prince was surprised when he saw that Qin Yi didn't shy away and drank it all in one fell swoop. When did Qin Yi look like this?

The second prince smiled and said: "It is said that it will be different after marriage. I didn’t believe it before. Now I saw the emperor brother, and I realized that it was true. The wedding of the emperor brother and the emperor’s wife is really enviable, but the emperor’s wife does not Have a drink?"

"She is too strong to drink." Qin Yi used his hand to block Chu Jinyao behind him, and looked at the second prince with an unkind look: "If the second brother really wants to toast our husband and wife, it is enough for me to come forward."

"This is natural." The second prince said with a smile, his eyes swept across Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao, and he finished drinking the wine in the glass without composure. Disdain flashed in the eyes of the third prince standing behind the second prince, and after a perfunctory toast, he left with the second prince.

The second prince and the third prince are not yet married, and their seats are very close. After arriving at his seat, the third prince finally stopped concealing his disdain: "Our big emperor is still above the top as always, noble and noble."

The third prince is also a prince, and his mother is still the favored Xiaoqi, so she has no scruples when she speaks. The second prince heard this and quickly came over with a smile and said, "I think the princess seems to be drunk. It is natural for the emperor to not want people to see it."

The third prince sneered disapprovingly. The second prince glanced in Qin Yi's direction, and smiled and said to the third prince: "You haven't got your hands on it, so naturally you don't understand the beauty of it. When you pass next year, the queen will make arrangements for you. You will understand when you get to know someone."

The third prince is fourteen this year, and it is indeed not yet time to arrange a special female officer, but the children who grow up in the palace are naturally precocious, and the third prince will know what the second prince is talking about.

The third prince snorted coldly, not caring. However, the second prince thought about the drunkenness of the woman who had just been shocked, and thought silently in his heart, it seemed that he should also choose a princess.

Chu Jinyao had a vague impression of the second half of the family banquet. She was dizzy and always felt like she was shaking, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed and shame Qin Yi, so the whole banquet forced herself to laugh. The practice of the palace rules for nearly two years has allowed her to subconsciously maintain a standard smile no matter when and where.

Later, when the emperor finally enjoyed himself and announced a feast, Chu Jinyao slowly walked out of the palace. Fortunately, fast is a taboo in the palace, and slow but slow does not make mistakes. When she became conscious again, she found herself being held by someone, crossing a high threshold.

Chu Jinyao was surprised, and the wine in his head was scared to wake up to seven points: "His Royal Highness?"

"it's me."

Chu Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, too, who dared to hold her in the deep palace, besides Qin Yi, who else? Chu Jinyao rested, and leaned her head on Qin Yi's arm relaxedly. After a while, she suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Is this in the East Palace?"

"if not?"

"How can you hold me back? This, this... so many people are watching!"

"Okay, stay safe." Qin Yi's arm forcefully buckled Chu Jinyao, who was trying to make a fuss. "It's already home. Let's take care of what you say today."

Family? Chu Jinyao was taken aback by this word. It turned out that Donggong was already home?

Because Xu was drunk, Chu Jinyao's words were much bolder than when he was sober. She hummed extremely softly, rubbed her cheek on Qin Yi, and said in a low voice, "Where there is your Royal Highness, it is home."

The author has something to say: the legendary wine is bold

All the feelings in the world are too late by the time they realize it.
