The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chu Jinyao was lost and was looking for Qin Yi for directions.

"Qize, Zize?" Chu Jinyao whispered, but Qin Yi didn't respond.

It's over, he is angry with her! Chu Jinyao was really miserable in her heart. She called out a few more times, and saw that Qin Yi hadn't moved yet, and Dingxiang and Camellia were about to come in, so she could only press down without mentioning it.

After washing, Chu Jinyao changed into a light red stand-up collar jacket, a **** yellow seven-piece horse-face skirt underneath, and a big red cloak, and hurried to Rongning Hall.

She greeted the old lady, and the old lady nodded indifferently. Chu Jinxian also sat next to Mrs. Chu, and saw her, and said, "You have to learn the rules with the mother these days. This is the most important thing. Be more diligent. Although the mother has not come yet, but Don't be lazy, go and review the brushwork later."

After Chu Jinyao listened, she bowed down and bowed to Chu Jinxian: "Sister Xie." After saying that, she hurried to the next class.

Chu Jinxian reminded her to review the brush and ink early... Chu Jinyao felt a headache when she heard it.

Chu Jinyao had lived in a poor family for the first 13 years, and food and clothing were a problem. What about embroidery and writing skills that can only be enjoyed by wealthy people? However, the room leak happened in the evening rain. Today, the other girls seemed to have made an appointment. Not long after sitting down, the second wife and the seventh girl said: "Mother, the fifth girl learned the best rules yesterday, and we sisters are beyond the reach. I just don’t know how her female celebrities and Qinqi calligraphy and painting are, the fifth sister might as well make a few random strokes, so that we can open our eyes!"

Before Chu Jinyao spoke, Chu Jinmiao continued, "Yes, yesterday, the mother specially praised the fifth girl. I want to come, the fifth girl is hidden, and there are so many abilities that surprise us. The fifth girl should not be humble. what!"

Several other girls also helped. After seeing the mother, she also said: "In this case, the fifth girl can write a few words."

Seven girls showed a successful smile, and Chu Jinmiao lowered his head and smiled softly. Nowadays, literacy is the privilege of a few people. For generations, farmers face the loess with their backs to the sky, but they can speak blindly, unable to recognize a word. Even many vendors in the city are still illiterate, and even fewer women in the backyard are literate. Chu Jinyao used to do farm work at home. The daughter of this kind of family still writes. Whether or not she can read is a problem, right?

This is the consensus of the girls. The eldest girl is respected, and she will be out of the cabinet soon, and she did not participate in this selection. The second girl is a concubine in the second room. She is fifteen years old this year. She is too old. It's out. The third girl is Chu Jinchan, the concubine of Changxing Hou, who is 14 years old, just right, but she is a concubine, and her identity is a bit worse than that of the concubine sisters.

The fourth girl is Chu Jinmiao. She is very talented. She was raised by the Zhao family with a pile of money since she was a child. If she didn't have a mistake, her companionship would have been in her bag. However, it is just such a coincidence, Chu Jin Miao is actually the daughter of the farmer Su's family, not the young lady of the Changxing Hou Mansion. If she were not for the compassionate elders, she could no longer live in the Changxing Hou Mansion. After all, it is to choose a playmate for the county head. The daughter of the Hou Men is the best, and the daughter of the lesser official is also normal, but it is too much to choose a farmer's daughter!

Because of this level, Chu Jinmiao's competitiveness is greatly reduced.

The next girl of school age is Chu Jinyao, the fifth girl. Although Chu Jinyao is a prostitute, she has not been raised in the Hou Mansion for the first 13 years. Maybe the princess and prince would be picky about this. After that, the sixth girl was the granddaughter of the third elder. The sixth girl’s talent, status, and age were appropriate, but her father was born to an aunt. When the old elder was alive, she was confused and loved the third elder’s biological mother, Yang. The clan was so arrogant and dared to show his arrogance to the main room. Old Madam Chu had been holding it up, and when the old Houye passed away, she immediately sold the Yang clan. After that, she seldom had a good face to Sanfang. Although the sixth girl is suitable in all aspects, she is a concubine. I am afraid that Mrs. Chu will not be able to pass this test.

Under the sixth girl is the seventh girl, and the seventh girl is the second wife of Yan's prostitute. She has an arrogant personality. This kind of person goes to study with the county owner... Both the sixth girl and Chu Jinmiao think, I'm afraid, mysterious.

Seven girls were twelve years old, and they were a little younger, and eight girls, only six years old, were obviously out of the game. So speaking, the competitive ones are the third daughter of Dafang concubine, Chu Jinmiao, Chu Jinyao, and the sixth daughter of the concubine. Seven girls have been secretly crossed by many people. Each of the four of them has their own strengths, but they also have some small flaws. This offsets them, but they are evenly matched. No one wins and no one loses.

This is easy to say. Chu Jinmiao reached a consensus with the three girls, six girls and others. The seven girls should not be afraid. Now they work together to squeeze one out. If the three of them fight for the two places under him, it will be better. Cheap outsiders. Chu Jinyao, who has the highest status and the best appearance, but has no foundation because he has just returned, is the best target.

Several girls joined hands to push out Chu Jinyao. They all knew Chu Jinyao's background, and it didn’t matter if she could do needlework and put on Anli. Chu Jinyao could not read or write. How could such a person be a companion? What? Mother Hua and Mother Deng came from the palace, and in a sense they were the eyes of the princess. As long as Chu Jinyao's impression of these two mothers was destroyed, the matter would have been half done.

So today, Chu Jinmiao must force Chu Jinyao to write under the eyes of everyone, so that she can completely sweep her face and have no chance to recover.

The other girls also enthusiastically helped. Mother Deng knew that she had praised Chu Jinyao yesterday, but now that she is not letting Chu Jinyao do anything, she may not be able to convince the crowd, so she smiled and looked at Chu Jinyao: "Five girls, you Just write a few words."

Chu Jinyao was completely solemn, stood up and gave a blessing to Mother Deng, and said, "Mother, let’s not tell you, I was hugged by mistake when I was born. By mistake, the four girls were hugged. When I returned to Hou Mansion, I stayed at the farmhouse and was just found back by my father at the end of the first month. I had no conditions since I was a child, and I have many shortcomings in pen, ink and needlework. Forgive me."

When Chu Jinmiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Five girls are good at using this trick, but it’s not that I caused you to do so. You don’t want to rely on me for everything. Even if you have to sell poorly, but you have to know, both of you. The mother came here to choose a companion for the county head, not a storyteller. No matter how wronged you are, you can't think of trying to get through it, right?"

After listening to the Seventh Girl, she said, "Yes, just write if you ask you to write. What do you do with so much?"

Yesterday, the mother flower who taught the rules was also there. She only knew that the five girls had only returned to the house, and she never expected that there were many causes among them. She didn't like Chu Jinmiao for no reason. She occupied her identity and status. She could also say "It's not that I hurt you like this, you don't want to rely on me for everything." This kind of silly remarks shows that the xinxing is thin and cool. But Mother Hua still cherished this diligent and sensible Fifth Girl. Seeing this scene, she couldn't turn to Fifth Girl anymore. Mother Hua is a member of the Royal Palace, and she takes the best interests of the Royal Palace in her heart. Although the five girls have a rough life and are distressing, the matter of the county owner is more important. A girl who is illiterate and can't write can not give them to them. The host of the home and county should be accompanied.

Mother Hua was planning to speak for Chu Jinyao to relieve Chu Jinyao. Although her opening, although she resolved the embarrassment for Chu Jinyao, it also meant that she had admitted Chu Jinyao's ignorance and eliminated Chu Jinyao. Mother Hua reached her throat, but she heard Chu Jinyao say: "I just asked the mother to forgive my bad handwriting. Have you ever said that I can't?"

After speaking, Chu Jinyao lifted the pen, dipped the ink, and scribbled a line on the paper.

Mother Hua and Mother Deng were both stunned by Chu Jinyao's unassuming aura, and immediately went to see. The other girls were taken aback and looked at each other, and they all surrounded them. I saw that on the rice paper in front of Chu Jinyao, it was written upright: "Lu Yao knows horsepower."

Although her writing is immature and she can see that she is still very rusty in writing, she is indeed correct and thorough. She has practiced it at first glance. Although it is not good, she can see people when she takes it out.

This can be described as a turn of events and a bright future. Mother Hua believed that Chu Jinyao was illiterate, and her expectations were very low. After Chu Jinyao was able to write the characters proficiently and smoothly, these words greatly exceeded Mother Hua's expectations, and she was overjoyed. It was even more excited than seeing the clean and delicate small letters of the hairpin by the lady next to her.

And this sentence, Lu Yao knows horsepower, is really a pun, and it's wonderful.

Chu Jinyao saw the expressions of Mother Deng and Mother Hua and knew that she had passed the test. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, put down the pen, and smiled at Chu Jin: "I have never complained about the four girls. I don't think it was you who occupied the magpie's nest and caused me to do so. On the contrary, it is the four girls, you seem to be unable to care. I remember this all the time. Now in front of the sisters and the two mothers, I might as well say it straight, I don’t mind your existence, and the four girls don’t have to keep fighting with me."

Chu Jinmiao's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't get a single blow. Instead, Chu Jinyao took a bite. The three girls and six girls agreed in private saw the situation and immediately abandoned Chu Jinmiao and picked themselves out.

Chu Jinyao looked at Chu Jinmiao's face, and secretly said, "Deserve it!" But she still looked upright and awe-inspiring, and continued to say: "How the four girls think about me, I can't control it. Today, you made a special decision. Mentioned me among the sisters and asked me to come out to write. I am a stupid person. I can't figure out why the four girls did this. Maybe it was to show me a face in front of the mother. I thank you in advance!"

After finishing talking, Chu Jinyao turned around and bowed to the mother, and said, "Mother, I can't take my words on the table, but the four girls, who have been reading poetry and books since childhood, are a truly talented woman. You. But don’t misunderstand the Changxing Hou Mansion because of my writing. The brushwork of the four girls in our family is the model among the girls in the Changxing Hou Mansion!"

The other girls said in their hearts, you are not dull at all. First buy miserable, and then put on top hats. Isn't this one very proficient? But fortunately, Chu Jinyao was targeting Chu Jinmiao. If Chu Jinyao just joined forces to kill her all, then the girls would definitely join hands to deal with her, but Chu Jinyao only targeted Chu Jinmiao, and the rest of the girls would see. The flames of war didn't burn on him, but instead abandoned the alliance and watched the show for himself.

Chu Jinyao secretly thought in her heart, this is what Qin Yi said, he was planning to encircle Wei and save Zhao. It is impossible to be besieged by everyone and beat back angrily. Only by staring at one of them can you separate the opponent, defeat each one, and finally turn defeat into victory.

Chu Jinyao silently sighed, Qin Yi really is a talent, and putting him in the back house in intrigue is really a shame.

Chu Jinyao's countermeasures were very useful, and the isolated person immediately became Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinmiao never expected that Chu Jinyao could write, and judging from his posture, he was still a veteran. She was so annoyed that she believed Chu Jinyao deliberately pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, so as to make them embarrassed. And she happened to fall into Chu Jinyao’s plan and squeezed her out in front of the two mothers. If Chu Jinyao was smoothly squeezed out, it would be fine. Now Chu Jinyao is very good, but she also relies on handwriting to fight back and wins her. Green eyes, Chu Jinmiao and these people have become provocative and finding fault. Chu Jinmiao was secretly anxious. Today, she really lost her wife and broke down. She didn't squeeze Chu Jinyao out, and she still left a bad impression on the mother. She had to find a way to make up.

So Chu Jinmiaofu was all over, and said to the mother: "I'm showing my ugliness."

Chu Jinmiao picked up the pen and tried his best to write down part of the female ring carefully and carefully. She has tried her best to bring out her best level, but with Chu Jinmiao embarrassed by Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinyao immediately praised Chu Jinmiao very high, unknowingly, the two mothers were right in their hearts. Chu Jinmiao's expectations were raised a lot. When they saw Chu Jinmiao's words again, although they looked much better than Chu Jinyao's, their expectations were high, and they found it normal.

Mother Deng said lightly: "Okay." So Chu Jinmiao sat down.

Chu Jinmiao's face suddenly turned blue and red, which was extremely ugly.

After leaving school, Chu Jinyao happened to meet Chu Jinmiao when she went out. Chu Jinyao stopped and deliberately said, "Fourth sister, why don't you go first?"

Chu Jinyao's voice is not low, and many maids around her are looking in this direction. Chu Jinmiao was just told by Chu Jinyao, "I don't mind you, you don't have to keep fighting with me", if she is really at this time The embarrassment of Chu Jinyao, isn't this just to make her make trouble for Chu Jinyao? Chu Jin trembled slightly with anger, but she looked at Chu Jinyao's eyes, but she could easily see a smile from the bottom of the other's eyes.

She did it on purpose! Chu Jinmiao gritted her teeth and thought, it seems that she underestimated Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinmiao smiled stiffly and said, "We are all sisters. I always treat my fifth sister as my own. Why would I care about this with you? The fifth girl should go first."

Chu Jinyao pursed her mouth and smiled sweetly at Chu Jinmiao, and then left with the maid.

After walking away, Chu Jinyao moved the maid far away and quietly said to Qin Yi: "You are really amazing! You guessed it."

Qin Yi said in a low voice. He thought in his heart that he was the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, and he grew up watching the concubines in the palace. With him watching, could Chu Jinyao still be counted by these nasty girls?

I look down on him too much, the crown prince.

Qin Yi has been thinking of a way to leave here.

Chu Jinyao's jade Perry's red flock has been reduced by nearly half, but Qin Yi feels that his injury is still far away, and the meaning behind this makes people shudder. After the red catkins are consumed, can they still cultivate their souls? Qin Yi didn't want to gamble.

What's more, he can't heal his injuries indefinitely like this. He has been in a coma for a long time, and once the news becomes big, it will be a disaster. Qin Yi even thought about returning to his body just like this, but he didn't know how to get out of the jade pendant, and Chu Jinyao was a young lady, he couldn't let the other party bring him near his body and change it to the Chu family. The man, he is not at ease.

Qin Yi thought about her own business, but Chu Jinyao knew nothing. She didn't know what Qin Yi was worried about. She saw Changxing Hou, but she was surprised for a moment, and then she took care of her expression and respectfully saluted Changxing Hou: "I have seen my father."

Changxing Hou was obviously surprised when he saw Chu Jinyao. Didn't see him for a month, what happened to Chu Jinyao?

Changxing Hou looked at Chu Jinyao from the top and bottom, and finally smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, it's a lot more rounded, and it's not as thin as before. Very good."

Chu Jinyao's biggest regret now is probably that it is still a bit dark. As her body gradually recovered, Chu Jinyao was no longer thin and thin, and her true appearance was also revealed step by step. After all, she is the daughter of Changxinghou and Zhao. She was a noble in the era, and her foundation is certainly not bad. However, Chu Jinyao was even more beautiful than his compatriots and sisters, that is, Chu Jinxian. Her eyes are very long, round and round, but the corners of her eyes are slightly hooked. The shape is very beautiful. The eyes are very dark and very moist. When they are not smiling, they shine brightly, as if there are thousands of stars falling into the eyes when they laugh. Expose to people's hearts. Chu Jinyao is no more than thirteen this year, and it will be more amazing when she grows a little longer and raises her whites by the way.

Changxing Hou nodded secretly. He put down the tea cup in his hand and said to Zhao who was sitting aside: "You have raised her very well, her manners are especially good, you are paying attention."

Zhao's smile suddenly became a little stiff. Zhao had packed up early today. She was dressed up and dressed very brightly. But Changxing Hou didn't pay attention to her thoughts, and instead kept drinking tea without salty, Zhao's heart was inevitably discouraged. But the Zhao family didn't expect that when Chu Jinyao came, Changxing Hou Haosheng would look at it. Zhao's rare praise, it turned out to be because of Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinyao was flattered when she heard it. After Qin Yi gave her instructions, she hid in the house and practiced until Qin Yi was satisfied. Chu Jinyao thought this was the standard of the family, but in fact, it contained a lot of personal preferences.

Changxing Hou felt that Chu Jinyao raised his neck when he bowed and walked, and he did not evasively speak. Although it is suspected of not being chaste and weak, she is more than an ordinary woman with her head lowered when she speaks, her head is lowered when she walks, and her head is also bowed in salute. To be more pleasing to the eye. If it is a concubine maid, Chang Xinghou likes a shy and submissive woman with a low posture, but when replaced by his concubine daughter, he likes a girl who is bright and magnificent and can do everything with her head upright. Chu Jinyao has done very well. Great. Chu Jinxian was taught by the old lady. Although the rules are good, Changxing Hou feels that the eldest daughter is too quiet and dignified, while Chu Jinmiao is cold and bitter, and the sleeves on her body are floating back and forth when walking, although there is a weak Liu Fufengzhi Zi, Changxinghou feels unhealthy no matter how she looks.

For women and for daughters, everyone has two sets of standards.

The three sisters were all there, but they praised Chu Jinyao alone, and Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinmiao couldn't help being a little bit troubled. Chu Jinyao was praised without any arrogance, she did not take a seat, but walked to Chu Jinxian to ask for peace: "Elder sister."

Chu Jinxian nodded. She is the eldest daughter. How could she care about such trivial matters? She said, "I can see that you have worked hard recently. This is great. You just came back, don’t worry, just learn slowly, don’t let down Father’s expectations."

"Sister Xie."

Chu Jinyao again greeted Chu Jinmiao. In fact, their identities are a bit embarrassing. Although Chu Jinmiao ranks higher than Chu Jinyao, she is actually not Chu Jinyao's sister. Chu Jinyao gave Chu Jinmiao a face in front of so many people, and Chu Jinmiao reluctantly stood up and responded with the courtesy of his peers.

When Changxing Hou saw his prostitutes asking each other, he was extremely proud of him. He nodded to Chu Jinxian with satisfaction: "Xian'er has become more like a eldest sister, so that when he arrives at his husband's house, he will not worry about you as a father. ."

Chu Jinxian was seventeen this year. She had married her cousin as early as thirteen years old, and will soon be out of the cabinet. Chu Jinxian heard Chang Xinghou's words and stood up and said, "Thank you, father."

Chu Jinmiao's face is not very good, what does it mean? First, he praised Chu Jinyao for being polite, and then he praised Chu Jinxian for Wenyi, meaning that these sisters are friendly and affectionate, but she is completely an outsider? She is not her biological daughter, so she wouldn't even say a good thing?

Zhao also felt wrong, seeing Chu Jinmiao's expression embarrassed, she put her hand on the back of Chu Jinmiao's hand in distress.

No one noticed the movements of Zhao's mother and daughter, because the concubine and aunts came in. A group of people crowded the second room. Because Changxing Hou was here, several young masters also came. They used to stagger the time with the girls to ask for peace. Now that there is Changxinghou, they don't have to avoid it.

Changxing Hou looked at the full house of wives, concubines and children with satisfaction. He stood up and said, "Let's go, let's eat."

There is no need to greet Mrs. Chu today, so there is no need to worry about eating. Besides, it is only their own family members who have much less emphasis on the dinner table, and there is no need to avoid eating and talking. The second young master lost his appetite after a few chopsticks. He asked Changxinghou: "Father, I rarely saw you a few days ago. What are you doing?"

Hearing the second young master's question, many people stopped their chopsticks and looked at Changxinghou. It seems that since Chu Jinyao came back, Changxinghou was suddenly very busy, so busy that he hadn't even visited the back house several times. The wife of the Zhao family, the two aunts of Huang and Furong, all wanted to know what was going on.

Changxing Hou sighed: "It's not because of His Royal Highness."

His Royal Highness? People in the Chu family were a little surprised, and Zhao asked, "That's a good idea, why are you getting involved with His Royal Highness?"

The secret secret of the palace last summer, although it was said that it was a private matter and could not be arranged, in fact, the officials of all provinces basically knew it. However, Shanxi knows more about it because of its geographical advantage.

This was at home, surrounded by wives, concubines, and children. Changxing Hou felt that there was no need to evade, and said directly: "In June, Bei Zhili transferred troops from Shanxi to the fifth army camp, and was with Sanqianying and Shenjiying. During the exercise, the emperor took the harem maidens to watch on the wall in person. This was originally a good thing to raise the power of the country. The soldiers underneath rarely saw the emperor and showed their faces in front of the emperor and the maidens. In order to show off, Shenjiying also took it. There were many firearms. It was the first time the Empress saw firearms, it was very novel, and she asked someone to come over and perform."

Speaking of this, Hou Changxing moistened his mouth with tea. Chu Jinyao didn't understand the imperial palace and officialdom, but she didn't think it was right when she listened.

Specially deployed troops from Shanxi, I am afraid that the scale of this exercise is not small, and the generals and soldiers are heroes for the country and the people, defending the frontiers. The queen herself found novelty and fun, so she called the people from Shenjiying over to perform for her... Is this a show?

Chu Jinyao felt wrong, but she looked at other people secretly, and she didn't look different. Chu Jinyao didn't know what was going on, so she didn't say anything, and listened silently.

Changxing Hou put down the tea cup and continued: "Originally, things have gone well here, and the empress likes it. Then we who are courtiers should do the same. Shenjiying demonstrates below. The emperor and the queen are so popular that it makes people excited. To cheer you up, a shameful court lady in front of the empress took the initiative to ask for her order, and the emperor's dragon was pleased, so it was allowed."

When Changxinghou talked about this, the others couldn't help but utter an "ah". This... is too ridiculous. What kind of style would a woman beat the drum for a major military sacrifice?

Obviously Changxing Hou also found it ridiculous, but Xiao Qi was spoiled, and the emperor became more and more superstitious in alchemists over the years. He spoiled Xiao Qi and didn't even care about the affairs of the court. At the end of the day, everyone felt wrong. They watched a woman laughing and playing drums on the wall. The emperor and Empress Xiaoqi were talking and laughing. They were very happy. Even the chief minister of the cabinet can only laugh with him. No Dare to say more.

"His Royal Highness was also there that day. After seeing the court lady beating the drum, the prince went directly to the wall to find the emperor and the empress. According to the adults who were accompanying the wall that day, the prince and the emperor said that the drum is an important tool for inspiring the military. It's not a plaything, the army is in formation, but a woman is laughing and playing drums in front of the formation. What kind of style is this? The emperor is not happy, and the empress is angry with the plaything. She smashed the prince with a few words, and the emperor's expression is also very unpleasant. When the cabinet saw that the situation was wrong, they hurried out to speak for the prince, and the prince also let the prince go down first.” Changxing Hou sighed and said, “Who would have thought that the prince was fine at the time, and the adults thought it was okay. Who is that? Knowing that the prince had taken two steps, he suddenly grabbed the bow and arrow from the guard, and turned around and shot the maid to death. When the imperial court saw blood, the Shoufu and Jinyiwei commanders turned pale with fright, and the maidens also screamed. Tens of thousands of soldiers below saw people dead on the wall, and they were all agitated."
