The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

The prince said, you missed the key plot, so I won't show you this chapter! Go and fix it~

Lin Xiyuan smiled and entered the room, looking forward along the way, and did not look left or right. With so many girls sitting around, he did not raise his eyes impolitely. Lin Xining walked to Mrs. Chu's side, and gave a standard and leisurely salute to the younger generation: "I have seen Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu is well."

Mrs. Chu has always been serious, but when she saw Lin Xiyuan at the moment, she couldn't help but smile with relief: "It turned out to be the son of the elder. How did the elder think of our Changxing Hou Mansion? The hospitality was not adequate, and the elder son forgive me.

Lin Xiyuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about, old lady? Changxing Hou Mansion is the home of Zhongming Ding Ding Food. Along the way, your mansion's rules and regulations have kept me educated. How can it be called poor hospitality?"

Mrs. Chu laughed loudly when she was said to be so happy, she seldom smiled with the deep horoscope pattern on her lips: "The son of the world likes it."

After greeting Mrs. Chu, Lin Xiyuan saluted like Chu Zhu: "Second Aunt." After finishing speaking, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "Second brother, elder sister, second sister."

When Chu Zhu returned to her family's home, she naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the Royal Mansion. His second brother is Lin Xining, his eldest sister is Chu Zhu's concubine Lin Baoying, and his second sister is Lin Baohuan.

The descendants of the Huailing Prince’s Mansion are far fewer than those of the Changxing Marquis. The princess and the princess have only one son and one daughter, both of whom are prostitutes. They are the elder son and the county lord Lin Baozhu. There is only one son, Lin Xining, and two daughters.

Lin Baohuan is the lovely daughter of the royal palace, and also the only daughter of the grandmother. She has been the star holding the moon since she came to Changxing Houfu, but now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan dared not to be a little arrogant, and quickly bowed her head in salute: "Big Brother."

Lin Xiyuan is their eldest brother, or the eldest son of a dignified mansion. Even though he seems to have a gentle temper, Lin Baohuan knows that their eldest brother is much more than that.

The girls of the Chu family saw Lin Baohuan, who had always had eyes on top of their heads, behaved like rabbits in front of Lin Xiyuan, and they became more and more frustrated with Lin Xiyuan. Young Master Pian Pian has a distinguished family background, a handsome face, and always smiles three-pointers. Which girl doesn't like this kind of turbulent Young Master?

Lin Xiyuan stood in Rongning Hall, and that was the spotlight. The girls were all looking at Lin Xiyuan secretly. Yesterday they thought that their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding, but now that she saw the son, Lin Xining suddenly became mediocre. To put it bluntly, Lin Xining is the same as her brothers, under the guidance of the family, all gestures are expensive, but they are not much different from their peers, because everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.

Lin Xiyuan had many sights on his body, but his smile remained unchanged, his face was not stiff, as if he was born accustomed to being noticed. He talked and laughed with elders such as Mrs. Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders with a calm expression. He had a degree of advancement and retreat, and his manners were elegant.

Chu Jinmiao took a peek for a while and withdrew his gaze, but the hand on his side became tighter and tighter. This is the gap between the royal palace and the marquis. The second son will not have the brilliance of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she goes to the palace, she will have the opportunity to contact people like the county owner and the prince. If you have the opportunity to meet the eldest son, you might even see the crown prince! This has a long way to go in Changxing Houfu!

Chu Jinmiao thinks so, and the other girls are not fools. The courageous continued to peek at Lin Xiyuan secretly, with a gully heart, he already lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Their standing posture has not changed, but the distance between the sisters has suddenly become estranged.

Mrs. Chu asked about the body of the old prince of the palace carefully. After Lin Xiyuan finished speaking, Mrs. Chu smiled and said: "The son came here today. It is really hard. Since the old man is here, we might as well stay a few more days. The two residences are in-laws, and the relationship could not have been more intimate. Your aunt, Ning brother, etc. are all there, so you can treat this as your own home and live in peace of mind. These are your cousins, you don’t need to have anything.

After Mrs. Chu said it, Lin Xiyuan turned her head and gave the girls a polite: "Hello, cousins."

Although he turned around, his eyes were vainly looking at the ground, and he did not look at the girl's face. The old lady became more satisfied after seeing it, and even Zhao and others were all smiles.

This is really a good man, with a good family background, good talents, and good character, there is really no choice.

The son spoke to them, and the girls all bowed their heads slightly, squatting over to the son in return: "Hello, cousin."

This cousin cousin is actually a bit far-fetched. But the old lady said so, and they all understood what the elders meant, so they followed it halfway and half on the spot. Chu Jinyao mixed in with the sisters, lowered his head, tried to reduce his sense of existence, and greeted Lin Xiyuan with a whisper.

There were a total of seven or eight girls in the three rooms present. These girls have different temperaments, some are free and some are not talkative, but at this moment, they are all gentle and weak, and their salutes are also the pinnacle of etiquette class. If Mother Hua is here, I don't know how emotional it will be after reading it.

Yan is shrewd, with a sharp mouth that speaks best. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that this big fish could not be let go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to step forward and smiled heartily: "It's all a family. , Cousins ​​don’t have to be so polite. It seems that this is the first time the son has come, don’t people still recognize it?"

Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Yes. The second lady, I've introduced you to my cousins."

Old Madam Chu felt wrong when Yan Shi was speaking. Before she could stop her, she heard Lin Xiyuan actually smiled and agreed. Mrs. Chu was a little surprised. She and Madam Gu looked at each other, then sat back, intending to watch the changes.

When Yan saw that Lin Xiyuan responded, he became happier and introduced the girls enthusiastically. During the introduction, she did a little bit of verbal work, focusing on the girl in the second room, while the other room's girl was passed by with one sentence.

After hearing this, Zhao was so angry that he had liver pain, but in front of outsiders, it was very difficult to attack. When Yan pointed out in front of Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, he shook his head and said: "These two are the fourth and fifth girls in our house. The elder son should be very familiar with the fifth girl. She just came from Pick it up outside."

This is the cunning aspect of Yan's. She introduced Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao at the same time, but Chu Jinmiao mentioned it and skipped it. Instead, she emphasized that the fifth girl had just picked it up from outside.

What kind of girl just picked it up from outside? No one would think of the reasons for being wronged, and everyone acquiesced in that it was the daughter of the outer room.

She was obviously a daughter of a prostitute but was implied by Yan to be an unscrupulous maiden, but can you say that what Yan said was wrong? Can't. After Chu Jinyao listened to it, she was impressed. In the back home, speaking was indeed a skill.

But Chu Jinyao didn't mean to correct it. She didn't have any thoughts about this elder son. The daytime was so embarrassing, she wished that the elder son would not look at her at all.

Lin Xiyuan said in his heart, he smiled and said to Chu Jinyao: "Fifth cousin is good."

After speaking, he looked straight at Chu Jinyao with smiling eyes.

Chu Jinyao lowered her eyes and did not look at each other with Lin Xiyuan. When the others saw it, although they secretly hated Chu Jinyao for getting Lin Xiyuan's individual greetings, but seeing Chu Jinyao's performance, they said a word in their hearts and turned their attention away.

Mrs. Chu also felt that Chu Jinyao was very disciplined. Although she came from a poor family, she didn't take the opportunity to play around. The rules were even better than the lady who grew up in the house. Mrs. Chu was extremely satisfied, and she had changed a lot for this granddaughter who emerged out of thin air.

Outsiders think that Chu Jinyao knows the ceremony. In fact, the real reason Chu Jinyao dared not raise her head could scare them to death. Chu Jinyao complained constantly. She was afraid of being recognized, so she made a special excuse to go back and change her clothes in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyuan would follow the old lady and say hello one by one. Chu Jinyao was very sad. She changed her clothes. Why was she still recognized?

Lin Xiyuan's arrival seemed like a stone, thrown into the life of the ladies in the calm and peaceful boudoir of the lake. On the surface, the lake level seems to be as quiet as before, but underneath is a turbulent undercurrent.

This time the ladies intuitively realized what it means to be selected as a companion.

Chu Jinyao returned to the Chaoyun Courtyard that day. When she went to bed, she sat on the Xiaopu in the west and complained to Qin Yi: "You said, should I choose this companion?"

Qin Yi thought about what life his companions were living in. He really couldn't tell his conscience that the companionship was a good job. He said: "The companionship looks glamorous, but secretly, it is necessary to give the prince and princess a scapegoat and get angry. It is inevitable."

Chu Jinyao nodded: "Yes, I think so too. But finally, my mother taught me that I was different from the others. If you are not sure about this good opportunity, then you deserve to be laughed at by the four girls. So, I thought, when I was in class during the day, I studied hard, and when I finally went to the county mansion to be seen by the princess, I almost wore it deliberately and I lost the election."

Qin Yi agreed very much. He found that Chu Jinyao's mentality was surprisingly good, motivated, but free and easy. Qin Yi asked: "Although Huailing is not up to the bottom, it is a prefectural palace after all, so don't you feel like it at all?"

"My heart is moved. But it also depends on whether it's mine." Chu Jinyao smiled and raised the jade pendant, and said, "Do you think I'm not going to be moved?"

"Yes." Qin Yi wanted to sullen his face, but finally couldn't hold back a smile, "You're hard-hearted."

"Who doesn't want to let myself live better? If I have a chance to live well, I will fight for it. But I have had such a big ugly in front of the world, and there is no chance. It is better to calm down and learn from the mother. Something. This is serious business."

Qin Yi didn't speak. A man’s common problem, he originally disliked the kind of people who tried to pinch the tip to climb up. He always felt that a woman who was calm and indifferent was good. But now listening to Chu Jinyao say this, he feels very real and cute.

The women in the harem who said they don't fight, in fact, don't fight, but they are the biggest fight.

"You should go to bed." Qin Yi said, "I'm afraid there will be trouble tomorrow."

Chu Jinyao sighed when she heard it: "So these girls just hid their words, one by one can't do it. Now they are competing for the position of companion reading, maybe what they can bite. You say, if I get caught What should I do if I accidentally injured it?"

"do not worry."

"Huh? Are you saying you will help me avoid it?"

"No." Qin Yi said the truth calmly and coldly, "I mean, you will definitely be hurt by mistake. How can you beat the others in your mind. Intrigues, things like intrigue, always have to suffer a few more losses. Only then can you learn it, anyway, you are pitiful and okay, don’t worry, just remember it."

"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao slammed the jade pendant on the cave, and took a fruit plate from the table beside her barefoot, and snapped it back on the jade pendant's head. "Then I will give you a long memory, so you can sleep in your arms like this at night."

Qin Yi laughed lowly. Chu Jinyao dared to laugh when she heard this guy. She became more angry. She originally planned to scare him. Now she is really angry. She really doesn't care about Yupei, she goes to bed by herself, puts down the curtain, and goes to sleep.

After the candle light was off, only the moonlight passed through the window lattice and strayed solitaryly on the floor, clear and quiet. In the moonlight, a figure slowly walked out of Jade Perry. He was very tall, with straight shoulders, a thin waist, and a young figure, but his back was very upright and skinny. He was wearing an indigo blue uniform with narrow sleeves, and the cuffs were embroidered with four-clawed python dragons with gold thread.

Qin Yi's spirit is getting stronger and stronger these days, and gradually he can break away from the jade pendant and walk outside by himself, but now he still can't grasp the real thing. The moonlight shone on Qin Yi's body, and even projected through him to the ground. His face was almost as clear and white as the moonlight, his eyes were sharp and bright, and the corners of his eyes flew up slightly, looking delicate and heroic.

Qin Yi walked out after nightfall in the past few days to see if he could find any clues from Chu Mansion. He planned to go to the yard in the day to see in person. He only counted on Chu Jinyao when his brain had a fever. Qin Yi was about to avoid the eyes and ears and go out. Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the canopy bed.

Chu Jinyao fell asleep, turned over in his sleep, and stretched half of his shoulder and arms out of the quilt.

In February, the spring is cold, and the night is quite cold. When she sleeps like this, she will have shoulder pain again tomorrow.

Qin Yi turned back, pulled up the Jin quilt, and covered Chu Jinyao.

Qin Yi suddenly discovered that he could touch the real thing.

This is really good news.

It's really careless enough.

Chu Jinyao had to change her clothes even if she had a thousand words. When she came back, she was already late. Therefore, most people didn't see Chu Jinyao's newly cut skirt yesterday. Today, she put on the cleaned skirt. When the people in the hall saw it, their eyes flashed with surprise and surprise.

Chu Jinyao has been doing farm work since she was a child, and has a lot more exercise than these daughters who don't get out of the gate. She is in good health and taller. She wore a cross-collared right gusset and wide-sleeved jacket, and the cuffs were embroidered with large pink hibiscus flowers. Underneath she was wearing a white background and purple tufted cloud brocade horse dress. The folds on both sides of the skirt were sewn with purple silk and lace. The upper end is close to the skirt pleats, the lower end is a crisp, naturally falling ribbon, and the lower end is also decorated with tassels. The ribbon is a little darker than the purple of the skirt pattern, one piece pressed against one piece, and the tassels sway lightly when walking, like a peacock on the screen. Chu Jinyao is tall, wearing a short jacket and a horse-faced skirt, and his waist becomes more slender and slim.

Old Madam Chu saw Chu Jinyao's dress, took a look at it carefully, and said nothing. The old lady thought, although the five girls are the best, but the rules are far inferior to the girls who grew up in the Houfu, which is a pity. But after Chu Zhu looked at it, she couldn't help asking: "Which embroidery workshop made this dress...?"

Chu Jinyao said: "It was cut by the maid." Chu Jinyao thought a lot and didn't say it was herself. If not, what should she do if she has to be cross-examined, and someone will show her the door in the future?

When Chu Zhu heard that the maid did it, she nodded and said, "My sister-in-law has arranged a few handy maids for you." This skirt is really beautiful.

Chu Jinmiao was still beautiful just now, overwhelming all the sisters, but when Chu Jinyao came in, everyone's eyes were attracted away. In terms of preciousness, Chu Jinyao's dress is naturally far less than Chu Jinmiao, but the clothes that can't stand others are cut well and have new ideas.

Chu Jinmiao was really stunned to death.

Especially after Lin Xining and Chu Jinyao came in, Chu Jinmiao was sure that Lin Xining's eyes lighted up. Chu Jinmiao bit her handkerchief bitterly. Sure enough, men are all virtuous. Regardless of what they say, they just like good colors!

Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining are cousins ​​when they were young, and Chu Zhu also liked Chu Jinmiao very much. When they were young, Chu Zhu laughed and joked with Zhao, saying that Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining had a good time, so it’s better to do it later. To the happy enemy. The Zhao clan smiled at the time, but he remembered it in his heart. When there was no one, the Zhao clan even asked Chu Jinmiao secretly.

At that time, Chu Jinmiao couldn't tell why. She was naturally different to Lin Xining, but if she said how much she liked it, even if she didn't marry, she wouldn't be guilty of it. In this way, Chu Jinmiao and Lin Xining got along as close cousins, planning to let the flow go and watch the changes in the future, Zhao's thoughts were the same. But now seeing Lin Xining turn his head to look at Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao suddenly burst into a strong discomfort. Even if she didn't like Lin Xining, Lin Xining shouldn't see other women in front of her. At the moment, Chu Jinmiao is more and more sure to win a companion.

Her identity in the Changxing Hou's Mansion is too embarrassing. Although the Zhao clan still spoils her as always, what will happen in the future? Changxing Hou was more and more plain to her, and the old lady was aloof and didn't care much about her granddaughter. The next person gradually dared to relax her instructions because she was not the decent master of the Hou Mansion. Chu Jinmiao has been at the forefront for thirteen years, so he can swallow this breath. But if she changed the palace, it would be completely different, maybe she could still have great luck.

Seeing that everyone was there, Mrs. Chu cleared her throat softly, and the lively Rongning Hall immediately calmed down.

Today, the girls wear brightly in the same clothes. Of course, there is a reason why Chu Zhu is there, but the root of it lies in the old lady.

Yesterday, the old lady learned that the palace was going to choose a companion for the county head, so she wanted to make her granddaughters dress up and don't lose her face. Although the old lady didn't say it clearly, there were different ways in the back house, and the news soon spread from Rongning Hall to Dafang, No. 2 and No. 3 bedrooms. Yan heard something to tell the girls to tidy up and be more attentive. Although she didn't understand why, she deliberately gave her two daughters a good dress. When he arrived at Rongning Hall, Yan clan secretly said in his heart. Sure enough, every one of them had come prepared.

Among all the people present, I am afraid that only Chu Jinyao went out without knowing it. She lives far away, has no news, and doesn't have her mother to mention it like other girls, so she doesn't know anything. She saw the sisters' clothes today and found it very strange. She was deliberately tricked by the Seven Girls yesterday, so she dragged the big clothes to wear until today. But why do other people want to do this?

Now that the old lady cleared her throat, she saw that there was an important announcement. Chu Jinyao knew what he might have missed again. As for what he had missed, he would know soon. She gathered her mind and listened carefully to what the old lady said next.

Mrs. Chu slowly said: "Your aunt came back from the palace of Huailing County all the way back, one is to visit relatives, and the other is a big thing to do. This thing is related to the future of many people, and even has something to do with it. The respect of the Changxing Hou Mansion, now, this major event is about to fall on you."

Chu Jinyao was very puzzled, since it was a major event related to the Hou Mansion, why did it fall on them? Chu Zhu sat next to the old lady. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "It was also the mother-in-law and the princess who trusted me so that they handed this matter to me. The county lord of the palace is twelve years old this year. When I was in school, the county owner was too boring to go to school alone, and there were few girls in the mansion, and no one was able to talk to the county owner. Our Changxing Hou Mansion is one of the best decent people in Taiyuan, and the girls are well-mannered. The palace is still relatives in-laws and knows everything. Therefore, the princess meant to pick two girls from our house and read them to the county lord as a companion."

Chu Zhu's voice fell behind, she looked down triumphantly, and as expected, the girl and several sister-in-laws were all surprised. I live at home and go back and forth every day. I see these few people. But when I go to the prefectural palace, the people I meet are completely different. Moreover, the prefectural palace is not far away from the Changxing Hou’s palace. The communication is very convenient, so I won’t just go out. See you again. The ladies thought about it again, and they all felt that this was a great thing and worth fighting for.

This is the most important part that Chu Zhu has concealed. If the wives know that the county magistrate is studying to prepare for the election of the princess, they may be crazy. Obviously there will not be only one concubine in the East Palace. After the county lord becomes the prince, what about Liangdi and Liangyuan? The county princes and princesses chose to read as the county head, and most of them also considered these. Women in the East Palace are indispensable, and the county owner is not a virtuous person. Instead of being counted by women from other families, it is better to arrange a few familiar ones at the beginning, and they will unite, at least have a companion in the future.

Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of the prefectural mansion, and now whether it can be chosen or not. It's just that the people in the Royal Mansion of Huailing County are all ready to run for the election, but they are dismissive of another possibility.

The ladies' eyes were bright, and the girls turned their heads, whispering to the close maids. Old Madam Chu looked at the audience, coughed, and said, "It's all quiet."

The girls suddenly stopped talking and looked up at the old lady.

Mrs. Chu took over Chu Zhu's words and continued to play a black face: "Although the princess said that she wanted to choose two girls from our family, she was not accurate yet. There are so many people in Taiyuan. If there are suitable girls in other families, the princess will definitely do it. Leave us alone. In the next few days, when the Huailing County Prince's Mansion holds a banquet, the princess will choose the most suitable two from the many ladies, so you must not be complacent and slacken. The county lord is twelve years old, since he is a companion. It was to accompany the county owner to study, and the age difference is too big, so the eldest girl and the eighth girl do not have to participate."
