The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

The unwillingness in Qi Rong's heart was like a raging fire, which had tortured her for a long time, and even the former close friend in front of her made Qi Rong uncomfortable.

Obviously, they were sitting together before, but when they got married, they would slowly widen the gap. Qi Rong, Zhao Lanhui, and Princess Baoqing, the three of them are the top noble ladies in the capital, and their words and deeds lead the fashion of the Beijing lady circle. The three of them form a small circle of themselves, and outsiders can't even envy them, but now, Qi Rong feels a sense of crisis. Her handkerchiefs are still in this circle, but Qi Rong is about to be squeezed out.

Princess Baoqing was originally a royal girl, and she had no effect on marrying anyone, and Zhao Lanhui also became a princess. The troubles Zhao Lanhui and Qi Rong told about were clearly show off to Qi Rong.

Qi Rong has always been raised by the family as the imperial concubine, and she herself is proud of this identity. However, the prince was not willing to give the marriage. Although the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was unexpected, it was still able to stand firm. After that, the old lady Qi and Xiaoqi had been fighting for the other two princes and concubines, but seeing Zhao Lanhui bestow the marriage to King Su, Lu Although Wang didn't say anything, he still has the main meaning after watching Xiaoqi. At this point, the Zhenbei Houfu finally gave up, and now he is showing Qi Rong the man outside.

However, Qi Rong has been in and out of the court since she was a child. Her two aunts are both queens, and the prince and the third prince are her cousins. Qi Rong is used to the honor of the royal family. How can he be regarded as an ordinary official man? Even if they have a bright future in school, it is not about doing things for the emperor's family in the end. As for the noble background, it is even more ridiculous. No matter how good their family is, can they live the royal family well?

Qi Rong was deeply unwilling. She is as beautiful as her little aunt. Two aunts can be queens. Why should she marry an ordinary person? And Baoqing was originally the princess, not to mention, Zhao Lanhui can be a princess, why Qi Rong wants to marry an ordinary man, and will have to salute when he sees the handkerchief in the future?

Qi Rong definitely couldn't stand such a gap. As for the distress Zhao Lanhui said, Qi Rong listened quietly on the surface, but she sneered in her heart. Qi Rong commented like this in his heart.

In fact, Qi Rong still likes the crown prince cousin the most. There were two queens from Zhenbeihoufu, and Qi Rong almost grew up in the palace, not much worse than the princess. These emperor relatives and court companions are also in a circle. Since childhood, Qin Yi has been the smartest and most dazzling existence in the circle. It's just a pity that Qin Yi rarely participates in their affairs. He doesn't seem to like this. For that matter, people in the circle are very concerned about Qin Yi's every move and look up from a distance.

Learning to ride and shoot in the school field, Qin Yi has a high athletic talent, he can get started with just one pointer, and he immediately became the best of all. Qin Yi also remembers to be fast when he is studying, and he can be far ahead if he doesn't work hard. Qi Rong did not dare to approach, but in secret, who did not yearn for the eldest son of the emperor Qin Yi. Later, Qin Yi walked farther and farther out of their sight, he was taught alone, and later, he became a prince.

Qi Rong and others would never see Qin Yi again. However, even so, Qin Yi's news is still not lacking, and they can often hear the praise of the prince from the adults in the family. Until the sixteenth year of Qin Yi, he was sent to the border after offending Xiao Qi, and Qi Rong secretly cried about it. But Qi Rong is not worried. She still accepts her favor under Xiao Qi's knees, enjoying the glory and wealth in the capital, because she knows that Qin Yi will definitely come back.

He did come back, but the first step was to invite marriage.

Qi Rong secretly looked forward to the long-awaited position of the princess, so she changed hands without warning. If Qi Rong could comfort herself, the princess had been a hard job since ancient times, laborious and unpleasant, but when she saw that Qin Yi was so kind to another woman, so good that it exceeded everyone's imagination, Qi Rong was strangely unfair. .

Knowing that, she would never let this opportunity go. Zhao Lanhui pours out a lot of bitterness again. She suddenly found that her friend was unresponsive. Zhao Lanhui asked strangely: "Qi Rong, what's the matter with you?"

Qi Rong returned to her senses: "It's nothing. By the way, you are going to the domain with King Su now?"

Zhao Lanhui sighed as soon as he heard this: "Isn't it? Qingyang doesn't know what the situation is. I have never left the capital. My mother and family are in the city. I really don't want to leave at all."

Qi Rong could understand that she didn't want to leave the capital even if she changed to her. But Qi Rong asked this not to sympathize with a friend who is about to leave his hometown. Her purpose is still elsewhere: "Since King Su is gone, then King Lu will go to Luoyang after the New Year's Eve?"

"Probably it is." Zhao Lanhui sighed, "The emperor is very dependent on the prince. The East Palace is stable, and the prince himself is not easy to provoke. Who dares to stay?"

Qi Rong gave a thoughtful "Oh". Her eyes turned slowly. If she said that, then in a few years, wouldn't the prince be the emperor who is a certainty? When the time comes, all the wives and concubines of Donggong will naturally follow. I heard that the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the old people in the hidden mansion can at least seal their concubines regardless of their origins. If it is an official woman, it would be normal to have a concubine in one fell swoop. This is why the officials in the DPRK and the central government are not too ashamed to send their daughters to the prince and prince as concubines. Can a royal concubine be called a concubine? How much capital and luck are needed for a family to provide for a concubine to come out, but if the pressure in the early stage is correct, it can turn over in one fell swoop.

I would rather be a royal concubine than a poor wife. Qi Rong's gaze slowly became firm, and Qi Rong's hands gradually clenched under the exquisite sleeves, because the red nails even pierced into the flesh because of too much force.

In summer, there is only the sound of cicadas in the palace.

The servants of the Hall of Qi De were in the room, and the flowers were doing bored needles and threads, and the wind came in with the curtain, and saw the embroidery in her hand, and smiled: "Hey, your hoof is out of waves, you actually embroider it. Get up and join Tilian."

Biandilian is a well-known husband and wife flower, and in the East Palace, only the princess is eligible to use this.

Qi De Hall is the residence of the prince and princess in the palace. Hearing what Xifeng said, she slammed the thing down and cursed: "Who makes waves? If you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb."

"What kind of accent is with me." Xi Fengni gave a quick glance, and said contemptuously, "You have the ability and Xuexue's face is gone, people are the celebrities in front of the princess, they are very important. You dare not offend others, just Come and be majestic with me."

Speaking of this Xinhua became more angry, the four of them were of first-class appearance and were sent to the East Palace as concubines. But six months have passed, and they haven't even touched the corners of the prince's clothes, and they are still virgins. I watched the prince enter and leave the East Palace every day, and she was convinced. The prince was noble, powerful, young and handsome, and had a long body. Not to mention the maid of the common people like the prince, she was the ladies and scholars outside. When the young lady saw the prince, she turned her back and blushed. A man who can give this kind of manners to be a woman, even if there is no status, there are many women who are willing, but the flowers are good, and the prince’s concubine has not been accepted for a long time. The prince only stays every day. In the house of the princess, their four beauties are becoming more and more a joke. Huanhua said: "Don't tell me the traitor Erxue, she is clever, she had voted for the princess early, and left our group of troubled sisters aside, and even sent it over to suppress us."

Weifeng smiled without saying a word, looked at Yuhua, and said: "If you are not convinced, you can go together. Now in the palace, who doesn't know that the prince has a lot of weight in front of the prince, the prince said a word, better than others A thousand sentences are useful."

Of course, Yuhua knew that many people in the East Palace were sharpening their heads to please the princess, but she understood that she just couldn't show her face. She is also a beauty, although she is not as good as the princess, but she is not bad. Looking at the expression on Wenhua’s face, Zhuangruo said inadvertently: "The crown prince is also a good fate. Only if the crown prince’s favor is the only way to have today. It’s just a pity that we, who are also the prince, do not have the life of the prince. On the contrary, you have to be despised. If you have one-tenth of the prince's favor, I am afraid it will be enough to gain a foothold in the harem."

The flower sat on the veil for a while, and said dissatisfied: "It is not necessarily that we are not as good as people. If the prince is not jealous and prevents people from getting close to the prince, we may not be behind."

Men have a desire to conquer women, and women have the same. After hearing this, Neifeng smiled and said, "You have ambitions, and you are not afraid that I will tell the princess what you have to say?"

"It's the way it is, so don't let people say it?"

"That's OK, since your heart is higher than the sky, then I might as well tell you one thing." Wei Feng signaled to the close of the flower, and whispered quietly, "When I just came back from the outside, I saw that the Prince was in the Qinghe Palace. Sitting in the pavilion behind the pool, with only a few father-in-laws beside him, there is no one beside the princess."

Xihua opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Xifeng gave her a little push: "If you really have a plan, wouldn't it be right now? The crown princess is now placing a cage in the palace, and she will go to meet the surviving woman who has come to treat her in a while. , Will not be able to get out for a while. If you can take advantage of this time to be taken by the prince, then your fate will be completely changed! You also know that the East Palace is the final word, as long as the prince accepts you, the prince no matter what We have to give you status. We dare not compare with the princess, but as long as the princess treats you as good as one-thousandth of the princess, who else in the East Palace dares not give you respect?"

When Xinhua learned the news, her heart beat violently. She was so nervous that she stuttered a little: "But, your Royal Highness is like a god, and the prestige is alienated, how can I..."

"You are stupid!" Feng Feng hated the iron and struck her forehead. "Before we were sent by the Queen, the grandmother of Kunning Palace taught you so much, but you have forgotten it? What about the prince? You are also a man aloft, you hide some fragrance in your collar, and then wear it lightly, are you afraid that things won't happen?"

This is simply a word that awakens the dreamer, Xihua's eyebrows are happy, Xifeng simply sends the Buddha to the west, helps her to dress up, and hides special spices for her, which covers her to leave.

Nefeng watched Wenhua walk away with his own eyes, and when he was sure that he would never see her again, Nefeng sneered, packed up his deeds, and secretly saw a person outside the Qide Hall: "Thank you to send a message to Miss Qi, saying that the servant is already Arranged people over."

Qi Rong was very proud of receiving the message from the maid. The scapegoat has been found, and it is time for her to play next.

The corridor of the palace was tortuous, and there was already a large lotus pond in the distance, and Qin Yi suddenly stopped.

The person who spread the word was surprised: "His Royal Highness?"

"You said the princess is here?"

"Yes." The **** who sent the letter said cautiously, "The princess was visiting the palace and seeing the lotus flowers here is very spectacular, so I came to invite the prince to enjoy it."

Qin Yi raised his eyes to look at the lotus field ahead, with a smile in his eyes, but all this was fleeting, and the **** was still wondering if he was wrong, so he heard Qin Yi say: "In this case, let's lead the way. ."

The emerald green lotus leaves are layered on top of each other, almost connecting into a green ocean, among which pavilions are dotted with red or white lotus flowers. In the blue waves stood a small pavilion, surrounded by bamboo curtains, and the breeze came, and the hanging ears under the bamboo curtains swayed gently. Enjoying lotus in the wind in such a place is really elegant and elegant.

When Qin Yi walked on the stone bridge, the messenger backed down and dared not step forward to disturb the prince and concubine. Xiao Linzi who was accompanying looked a little wrong, and was about to go in with Qin Yi, but was stopped by Qin Yi waved his hand: "Since she said this, you stay outside for now."

Xiao Linzi thought that "he" meant the messenger, and the **** also thought so. A bunch of people stepped aside respectfully, and Qin Yi walked to the pavilion alone and opened the bamboo curtain with one hand.

In the gently swaying bamboo curtain sits a graceful beauty sitting and making tea. Such a beautiful scenery, coupled with the beauty of the hand-made tea, is really pleasing to the eye.

Qi Rong waited silently for a long time. She deliberately changed her clothes and dressed up for a long time, taking care of herself. Qi Rong also felt that she was beautiful. In such an elegant place, I vaguely glimpsed a fresh and beautiful girl, wouldn't that man be shocked? After Qi Rong heard the faint footsteps behind her, she knew that Qin Yi was coming. She waited for a long time with shame and joy, but did not see any movement behind her for a long time.

Qi Rong turned around without knowing it, and saw Qin Yi standing at the entrance of the pavilion in his spare time, his eyes mocking: "What do you mean by this?"

The cousin of the prince was not surprised by her carefully selected silhouette? Qi Rong was taken aback, and deliberately stood up slowly and gracefully, lowered her head and smiled: "Cousin."

This cousin was long and tactful, and he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have the endless daughter's thoughts, and any man would lose his body when he heard it. Qi Rong lowered her head shyly, with a particularly good angle, making sure to present her most beautiful and gentle profile of her head down in front of Qin Yi. It's a pity that Qi Rong's intentions can only be dampened. She was still fine-tuning her angle and heard Qin Yi say coldly: "Call me the prince."

Qi Rong was stunned: "What? Cousin..."

"did not hear?"

Qi Rong could only lower her head aggrievedly, and whispered: "Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Qi Rong secretly complained why Qin Yi was so incomprehensible and didn't know how to pity and cherish jade. But she remembered her purpose for the day, so she didn't struggle with this point for too long. She gently held the sleeves, showing a bright wrist, and said softly: "Cousin, I have learned how to cook tea. You can taste it. taste."

Qin Yi took the tea cup and turned it around in his hand without moving. He looked at Qi Rong and said, "What should you blame for pretending to be the crown prince's message?"

"Cousin!" Qi Rong pursed her lips, and said softly, "Prince cousin, we are cousins ​​and childhood sweethearts, we have always been the closest people. Now that we grow up, we are more lively than we were when we were young. ."

Childhood sweetheart, the closest person? Qin Yi didn't move a single eyebrow, and said coldly: "Why don't I remember such a thing?"

Qi Rong was continuously stunned, and now she was choking so hard that she couldn't speak. She simply crossed her heart and summoned her courage to shout: "Cousin, Prince Cousin, Rong'er admires you!"

Qin Yi never expected that he was just wasting a while trying to figure out what Qi Rong was doing, but he heard such a thing. Qin Yi was really disgusted. He turned to leave. Qi Rong was anxious. He rushed to Qin Yi and said eagerly: "I know that the prince's cousin is already married, but the men have three wives and four concubines. Rong'er is willing Serve my cousin with the princess! As long as the princess takes care of me, Rong'er will never be jealous and won't compete with the princess. As long as she can stay with her cousin, Rong'er is willing to be wronged."

Qin Yi sneered, really feeling wronged in the world: "Who is wronged? Why do you want to wrong the princess for you? She is your cousin, but you have this kind of thoughts, and you don’t. Ashamed."

Qi Rong burst into tears after hearing this: "Cousin Prince, how can you say that to me? Rong'er has always admired you since I was a child. Now I don't ask for a name, I just want to serve you. Cousin, I only wish for this little bit. Are you reluctant to promise me?"

Qi Rong looks like Xiao Qi, slaps on her small face, and is even more pitiful when she shed tears. She has outstanding appearance, and now she confesses her love and righteousness. After contacting her childhood sweetheart, Qi Rong can't think of a man who can bear to refuse such infatuation. Seeing Qin Yi's clothes swayed, she thought that Qin Yi was about to come over and hug her to coax her, immediately burst into laughter, bowed her head and waited. But she lowered her head, but saw Qin Yi's clothes passing by her, the speed seemed to be afraid of getting something on it. Qi Rong looked up in amazement, and saw Qin Yi holding the tea she had just cooked, opening the incense burner directly, and pouring in.

The incense burner is small and exquisite, and it is naturally placed here for elegance. Qin Yi poured a cup of tea in without mercy, and the censer gave a light nod, and the smoke disappeared immediately.

Qi Rong's face changed completely when he saw this: "Cousin Prince..."

"You are also a daughter of the Zhenbei Houfu. I look at my mother's sake and keep giving you face, but you do this kind of unproductive thing?" Qin Yi poured out the smoker with special condiments. When I looked back at Qi Rong, his eyes were full of disappointment and irony.

It was so terrible to be ignorant, to play this kind of trick in front of him. This incense adds an aphrodisiac ingredient, and there are many high-ranking households who use this as a boudoir charm. However, Qi Rong dared to use these on him.

Qin Yi looked at Qi Rong as if looking at a dead thing: "I really don't know whether you should be brave or stupid. I really should let Zhenbeihou come over and look at these things and see what kind of daughter he has raised."

Qi Rong was so frightened that she took a step back. She was not afraid that Qin Yi would be called Zhenbeihou. After all, Qin Yi was the only son of the aunt's mother, and he wouldn't really cause such a thing. It was the look in Qin Yi's eyes that really made Qi Rong's heart tremble. The kind of despised, no trace of emotion in the eyes.

Qi Rong was also spoiled since childhood, how could she stand this. She was so angry that she rushed forward desperately, grabbing Qin Yi's sleeves tightly: "Why? I'm so obsessed with you, why don't you accept me?"

Qin Yi didn't expect Qi Rong to be so skinless and faceless, and he was also completely angry: "Let go."

"No! Why don't you accept me, our childhood sweetheart, you can't not like me! Yes, it must be the prince, she must be instigating her behind. Cousin, you are the prince, how can you be confused by her rhetoric? A woman should be virtuous and generous. She is still a princess, and she has to set an example more. She is so jealous, how can you tolerate her?"

"Shut up!" Qin Yi was furious. His eyes were as dark as a sky, and there seemed to be a whirlpool that could destroy the sky and the earth hidden in the unknown depth. It only takes a glance to shock people into the soul, "What qualifications do you have? You are not worthy to mention her name."

Qi Rong was frightened by the look in her eyes and took a step back, and her hands were unknowingly loose. After she reacted, she completely collapsed: "Why! Why am I not as good as her? Why can I not?"

This kind of problem sounds ridiculous to Qin Yi. He twisted his eyebrows and opened the sleeves that Qi Rong had just grabbed, and walked out with a cold face. Just as he was about to lift the bead curtain, he suddenly heard footsteps walking outside, listening to the footsteps of more than one person.

Qin Yi's face sank, and he looked at Qi Rong with bad eyes. Sure enough, she wiped her tears fiercely and looked at him provocatively.
