Xiao Linzi looked and looked in the direction where the prince was leaving, and the question of the girl Chu resounded in his mind: "Look at them, are they human?"
Rao is Xiao Linzi who believes that he has a lot of knowledge. He has been in and out of the palace a few times, and now he doesn't know how to answer. He opened his mouth and said stunned: "Yes... right."
Xiao Linzi didn't know why he added a tone after his unequivocal answer.
Chu Jinyao couldn't help but turn her head, raised her neck and looked in that direction. However, after these delays, the group of people had already left, and now they can't even see their backs.
Chu Jinyao murmured inaudibly, "How could it be... Is it my fault?"
Qi Ze is obviously a monster in jade, why does he appear in the world so grandly? She just looked carefully, and there were shadows under the gang's feet, and they were indeed people.
Now, let Chu Jinyao comfort himself that those of his kind can't do it.
why is that? Or are there really people who look like this in the world
Xiao Linzi looked at Chu Jinyao with his head lowered, his expression seemed to be low, he observed coldly for a while, and asked tentatively, "Miss Chu, why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing." Chu Jinyao shook her head, "I just thought they were weird."
Because of their strange behavior, dare to say that their prince is not human? Xiao Linzi didn't know what to say. Because the prince's trip was a secret trip out of the palace, except for a few close people, no one knew that the prince had left the border, so it was inevitable to dodge along the way.
This girl Chu may have seen the prince and his party dodging and sneaking, so she mistakenly thought that the prince was not a human being. Xiao Linzi managed to explain himself, but then he turned "bah bah bah" to himself.
Is he dying? How dare he say that their prince is sneaky
Chu Jinyao and Xiao Linzi were both thoughtful, and the expressions of the other changed a bit. Neither of them was in the mood to pay attention to the other. Chu Jinyao was completely occupied by Qin Yi, and she said goodbye to Xiao Linzi, and then walked out of the garden with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
Until Chu Jinyao stood outside the flower hall, she suddenly realized that her purse hadn't been found yet!
Chu Jinyao sighed deeply, the loss of her belongings was very important, but now, she couldn't even be interested.
Linglong anxiously stood outside the house, craned his neck to look at the people passing by, suddenly Linglong's eyes narrowed, and he quickly ran down the steps: "Girl!"
"exquisite?"
"Oh girl, the servants have found you? Where did you go just now?" With that said, Linglong hurriedly looked at Chu Jinyao from top to bottom. When she saw that Chu Jinyao was still in her original clothes, There was nothing wrong with her expression, and she finally let out a long breath.
Linglong has already thought about the worst-case scenario, but fortunately, in the end, she was unfounded.
Chu Jinyao said in a few words what happened just now: "My clothes were wet, and a maid volunteered to take me to change clothes. I felt that the situation was not right, so I got out and came back. It's a pity that I lost my way when I was halfway. , that's why it's been delayed until now." Naturally, Chu Jinyao covered up Qin Yi's affairs.
Linglong felt frightened when she heard it, she patted her heart and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!"
Chu Jinyao asked, "What about you? When I went out, I searched for you for a long time and was nowhere to be seen. Where have you been?"
"Fourth Miss's maid went to the kitchen to get some things. She said that there was not enough manpower, so she took me along with her. The servant refused, but she thought that it would not delay anything if she went for a while. Who knows, she will be gone when she comes back."
"Go to the kitchen to get something..." Chu Jinyao seemed to feel something, and suddenly asked, "Who did you meet when you came back?"
"I didn't see anyone either. The slave girl found out that she couldn't find the girl. She was scared to death at the time, so she quickly asked people to ask around. It was the sixth girl who told the slave girl that the girl followed a girl with a double bun and an azurite skirt."
Chu Jinyao's eyes flashed, and she asked with a smile, "Shi Qing?"
Linglong didn't know why: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Chu Jinyao shook his head and exhaled, "It's nothing, but it was a lot of fun going home. It is estimated that this time, Chaoyun Academy will be able to completely change people."
"Girl, you mean..."
"When you're out, don't mention these things." Chu Jinyao said, "I know who is innocent today and who is not. You come over here."
Linglong stretched out her ears according to the words, Chu Jinyao said something in a low voice, and Linglong was immediately shocked: "Ah, girl, this!"
Chu Jinyao motioned Linglong not to say more, she said, "Don't make a sound, just go find it secretly. Pay close attention to the people around Chu Jinmiao."
Linglong responded quickly, and even though she tried her best to restrain her expression, she couldn't hide her panic.
However, Chu Jinyao straightened the hem of her skirt and walked into the flower hall with a calm expression. When the girls in the flower hall saw Chu Jinyao, they all said, "Miss Chu Wu went out to change her clothes, why did she walk for so long? Ah, you didn't change your clothes."
Chu Jinyao said with a smile, "I lost my way in the garden, and the maid who showed me the way was so playful that she ran away and disappeared. After a long detour, I finally found my way back. , the water on the dress is completely dry, so there is no need to change."
"Is that so..." The young ladies looked at Chu Jinyao's dress thoughtfully, and found that although Chu Jinyao's dress was dusty, her clothes were neat and tidy. Embarrassed. They looked at it and didn't think anything was wrong, so they looked away without paying much attention.
Even the county magistrate only asked a question. Hearing that the maid who showed Chu Jinyao the way actually ran away by herself, she said angrily, "These servants are damned, I will report to my mother, and let my mother punish them severely!"
After the county owner finished scolding, he remembered with hindsight: "By the way, didn't your sisters go out to find you? Why did you come back and they haven't come back yet?"
"I haven't come back yet." Chu Jinyao smiled meaningfully, "I've been gone for so long, I want to ask them too."
Just as he was talking, there was a noise at the door, and Chu Jinmiao opened the door curtain with a bad look on her face. Her face was very ugly, and she kept cursing the sixth girl in her heart, but when she looked up, she saw Chu Jinyao standing there with a smile, leisurely.
Chu Jinmiao was startled and almost smashed the thing in her hand to the ground.
But it wasn't over yet, Chu Jinyao smiled and asked leisurely, "Fourth sister, third sister, where have you been?"
Chu Jinmiao pulled her face, turned her head and said nothing. At this time, Miss Six also bent over and came in. Chu Jinyao stepped forward and said to Miss Six with a smile, "I heard that Miss Six specially gave directions to my maid and helped everyone out to find me."
Miss Six's eyes flashed, but she still had a weak and calm expression. Chu Jinyao looked into her eyes and said slowly, "Then I really thank Sixth Sister."
After speaking, Chu Jinyao didn't want to look at these people anymore, turned around and walked outside. The girls around didn't feel anything at first, but seeing the faces of the three of them was really strange, they couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Chu Jinmiao put her hand in the warmer and turned her face slightly, while Miss Liu, as if she hadn't heard it, was still indifferent.
Today's banquet went on in an orderly manner until the guests were almost gone, and the daytime turmoil finally showed its signs.
At this time, the old princess's warm pavilion was very quiet. She reclined on the throw pillow and said slowly, "Has everyone brought it?"
Lan Ze replied in a low voice, "The people serving today have been detained in the woodshed."
"Okay. Call a few spoilers."
Chu Jinyao had long received news that the old princess had something to say to her in private. Chu Jinyao knew very well that when the time came, she was led by the maid, avoiding the crowd to the old princess.
Chu Jinmiao, the third girl and the sixth girl were not spared and were invited one by one. Today's matter involved the Marquis of Changxing and the Royal Palace of Huailing. The old princess didn't want to cause trouble, so she also invited the Zhao family. Sitting in the warm pavilion, Mrs. Zhao saw a few of her own girls standing below, almost fidgeting: "What did you guys do today? You even disturbed the ancestors?"
Chu Jinyao was very calm, she didn't move, she lowered her eyes slightly, and did not talk to her.
Princess Princess was also sitting on the side. Seeing this, she said, "Don't be in a hurry, Mrs. Changxing Hou, let the servants explain the ins and outs of the matter before discussing."
However, the girls involved today are all girls, and it will be bad for anyone to speak. A maid next to the old princess made a vague statement, but the people present were all the clan women who presided over the central feeder and was in charge of a house. Even if the maid said hesitantly, they all understood.
When the princess of the county heard about the prince's passage, her face was already ugly. She glanced at Chu Jinyao without a trace, endured her temper, and said nothing.
After listening to it, Zhao shi could hardly sit still. Whether it was Chu Jinmiao's intention to play the game, or Chu Jinyao's suspected appointment to meet the prince, this made her face as a mother dull. Mrs Zhao shouted, "Mother pity you for being alone at home, so that's why you are allowed to be a guest at the palace. After you came out, you were just making a fool of yourself?"
However, no matter how embarrassing the Zhao family is, he still remembers that he is still in someone else's house, no matter what the truth of the matter is, what he has to do now is to cover up the incident and protect the face of their Changxinghou mansion. So, Mrs. Zhao smiled reluctantly, and said to the old princess and the princess: "Let the ancestors and the princess laugh, a few girls in our family are making fun, even in your palace, they don't change their playfulness. Today, they are making trouble. Playing, actually disturbed the ancestors and the princess, I am really sorry."
kidding? Princess County was noncommittal, no matter what tricks these girls were up to, but in her house, someone could actually bypass her princess and make small moves, which made Princess County extremely annoyed. What's more, these women also touched the scales of Princess Princess.
Dare to hit her son's idea, they are so bold!
Princess Princess put down the tea cup immediately, she did not deliberately restrain her movements, and the porcelain cup slammed heavily on the table. Princess Jun's face tightened, and said: "The girls in Hou's mansion are lively and troublesome. I, an outsider, shouldn't say anything, but my daughter's family always needs to be decent, and it doesn't matter if she likes to play. It looks good."
These words were extremely ugly, and Zhao shi couldn't hold his face at that time. Chu Jinyao naturally heard that Princess Princess was alluding to her. Chu Jinyao became very popular. Today, she was designed to be framed, and she managed to escape halfway. If your own children are all treasures, who would be patient with her daughter? Who is staring at the prince with ulterior motives
Chu Jinyao didn't want to be a student of Lao Shizi at first, but after hearing this, her mind fell, she completely dispelled her scruples, and firmly pushed back: "Forgive me for talking, I really don't understand what Princess Princess is saying. Our family My sisters came to your house as a guest. During the dinner, my clothes were wet by the maid of your house. I went out to change my clothes, but I was led astray by this maid. I am still in a daze, and I don’t know what happened. The princess is now Saying that our sisters are messing around, where does this come from?"
If the princesses in charge of the palace are all such confused people, then this companion is not appropriate.
Zhao hurriedly called out to Chu Jinyao, but Chu Jinyao was unmoved and stubbornly finished her words. The princess of the county never expected that a little girl would dare to contradict her, and her face was elongated now.
It was the old princess who reconciled at the right time: "Today's matter is that our palace is ineffective, and there are mistakes first. Since we called you together, we want to solve the problem, not to misunderstand each other, which will make the two sides even more estranged."
The old princess took the initiative to hand over the steps and admitted the fault of the palace's control of the people. Chu Jinyao was not someone who didn't know how to see. She immediately followed the steps and said, "What the ancestors said is."
When Chu Jinmiao was called here, her heart was already cold. She thought that she was completely finished, but Chu Jinmiao did not expect that Chu Jinyao would dare to confront Princess Princess in person, which made Chu Jinmiao see a glimmer of light in the faintness.
Chu Jinyao actually self-destructed the Great Wall and offended the Princess Princess. This is because Chu Jinyao didn't cherish the opportunity. Since this is the case, then you can't blame her for pushing it again, right
Chu Jinmiao made up her mind and said casually, "fifth sister, you've been out for a long time, and we all thought what happened to you, so we couldn't help but go outside to find you. Fortunately, although you lost your way, you found it in the end. Here you go, did your purse fall when you lost your way?"
In just a few words, Chu Jinmiao characterized her behavior as worrying. No matter how much the princess and the old princess knew, she could not let go. Anyway, she didn't leave hard evidence, did she
On the contrary, Chu Jinyao, her purse, is still missing.
When Zhao Shi heard this, her eyelids picked up uncontrollably. She hurriedly looked down at Chu Jinyao's belt and found that the place to hang her purse was indeed empty.
When Princess Princess heard this, doubts in her heart surfaced again. She had already asked the county owner and knew when Chu Jinyao went out and when she came back. The garden was only so big. Even if she got lost, could she really be sleepy for so long
Princess Princess couldn't help but ask: "Miss five, it's not me talking too much, but I really want to ask again, why did you walk for so long when you got lost in the garden?"
"I got lost at first and couldn't find the way. Later, thanks to a little servant who showed me the way, I came out. When I came back, I found that my purse was lost while walking, and I quickly turned back to find it. In the end, I had no choice but to go back the same way."
"Little servant pointing the way?" Chu Jinmiao could also hear that something was wrong, not to mention Princess Princess. Chu Jinmiao pretended to be innocent and ignorant and asked deliberately, "It's so coincidental. Thanks to this little servant for showing you the way, we must thank him well. By the way, Fifth Sister, what is the name of this little servant?"
Chu Jinyao was a little embarrassed, this person only said his surname, Chu Jinyao really didn't know the other person's name. Chu Jinyao had to tell the truth: "I don't know his name, I only know his surname Lin."
Princess Jun frowned: "There is no servant surnamed Lin in the garden, not even the housekeeper."
"No?" Chu Jinyao also asked in surprise.
Chu Jinmiao raised the corners of her mouth in schadenfreude, even if she couldn't be a companion, she would not let Chu Jinyao get better. It just so happened that God helped her, Chu Jinyao actually sold the flaws by herself.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while. The princess was very sure that there was no one surnamed Lin in the garden of the palace, and the old princess couldn't say anything about it. This time, even the old princess was also muttering to herself, could it be that this girl is really lying? She's in the garden, what else is going on
When Mr. Zhao heard it, he immediately thought that it was Chu Jinmiao's lie, and he couldn't justify it now. Mrs. Zhao quickly said, "You child, you always talk in a different way. You must have remembered something wrong. Why don't you make amends to the princess?"
Chu Jinyao bit her lip secretly, what's the guilt to accompany? Why make amends? What's the difference between what Zhao said and pressing her head to make her admit her mistake? Chu Jinyao did not speak, but her attitude was clear. She would not.
The scene became more and more stalemate, the princess princess thought more and more suspicious, and now the eyes of Chu Jinyao changed. And the old princess couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to come out and talk to the mud, when suddenly a maid came out of the house with a deliberately raised greeting: "Hello, prince."
The prince is here
The princess of the county looked bright, and Lin Xiyuan had already strode in. He glanced at the people in the room, and he had already guessed the situation in his mind.
"Hello, grandmother and mother. Mrs. Changxing Hou, all of you Chu girls are good."
When the princess saw it, she simply said, "Yuan'er, you are also present today. Tell me what's going on."
Lin Xiyuan didn't speak, but looked at the old princess: "Grandma, this is..."
Someone beat the old princess and slowly said, "The fifth girl of the Chu family lost her way in the garden. We are caring about her."
Princess Jun continued, "Yuan Er, did you pass by the garden today?"
Lin Xiyuan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, what his mother was thinking about! Lin Xiyuan was slightly embarrassed, so he took a step back and bowed to Chu Jinyao: "Today, the ineffectiveness of the royal palace's control of the servants has shocked the fifth cousin. This kind of thing leading the wrong way will not happen again next time."
Lin Xiyuan's attitude surprised everyone, and Princess Princess shouted loudly, "Yuan'er!"
"Mother, don't talk about it." Lin Xiyuan also raised his voice slightly, suppressing the princess's words, "It's not Miss Chu's fault today, it's all our own negligence."
This time, the old princess was a little surprised, and the princess was even more frowning and said, "We don't have any servants surnamed Lin at all, why are you..." It's like drinking ecstasy soup
Hearing this, Lin Xiyuan frowned and had to step forward and whisper, "Mother!"
His voice was low, and the seriousness in his tone did not seem to be fake. Princess Princess was stunned for a moment, Lin Xiyuan approached, and Fu Er said something to Princess Princess.
Several girls of the Chu family, including the Zhao family, watched the princess's expression turn from anger to shock, and finally revealed a little joy. They were amazed by this scene, and they couldn't imagine what the prince said, which made Princess Princess's complexion change greatly.
Princess Princess looked at Chu Jinyao now, her doubts were swept away, but she couldn't hold back her face. She said embarrassingly: "I misunderstood. I didn't expect the servants in the house to be so careful and lead the five girls astray, and I will punish them heavily in the future."
The change came so suddenly, Chu Jinyao was surprised for a while, and after she reacted, she was not arrogant to Princess Fujun's face, so she went down the slope and said, "Princess Thank you."
To make the dignified princess bow her head is already very impressive. Chu Jinmiao's face changed suddenly, how could this happen? The princess was obviously suspicious, why did she change her attitude in an instant
At this time, Lin Xiyuan walked up to the old princess and whispered a few words. The old princess also showed a shocked look.
There are not many reasons why the princess of the county would be willing to admit her mistake. Princess Jun finally realized that she was speculating arbitrarily and wronging a good person, just because of Lin Xiyuan's words.
Lin Xiyuan said that the prince was in the garden today, and Chu Jinyao lost his way. Eunuch Lin who was beside the prince sent it back.
That's enough, what Chu Jinyao lost, the whereabouts of which no one can prove, immediately vanished in front of the absolute right to speak. The father-in-law beside the prince testified, even if the father-in-law was not even present, it was enough to tell the truth, and all malicious speculations collapsed because of this.
Only Lin Xiyuan, the princess and the old princess knew the reason for this. The Chu family only saw that the high-ranking mansion master changed his words abruptly, believed in Chu Jinyao's innocence, and apologized repeatedly. In addition to being surprised, they also felt strange.
how can that be possible
The sixth girl was slightly surprised. She thought that she could at least bring down Chu Jinyao today, but the result seemed to backfire. As for Chu Jinmiao, her molars were about to be shattered. She had worked so hard for so long, but she was fetching water from a bamboo basket. And the third girl rolled her eyes, and she had already made up her mind to switch camps and join Chu Jinyao.
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Chu Jinyao suspiciously, but she still had doubts about this matter, but Princess Princess took the initiative to soften her posture. down.
Princess Princess and Mrs. Zhao said a lot of respectable things. In the end, Princess Princess said: "Today is just a farce, it's fine as long as we talk about it. These daughters of Mrs. Hou are really worry-free, they are not like our family's jewels, leather monkeys. It's the same, very annoying. I also hope that in a few days, Mrs. Hou will come over with her daughter to stay for a few more days, so that you can teach me a jewel."
Zhao shi quickly declined: "I don't dare, the princess is wrong." But Zhao shi was overjoyed. According to the princess's meaning, today's events have no impact, and the companion reading is still from their house
The princess of the county said some more scenes, and then asked the maid to send the Zhao family out. Seeing this, Lin Xi also stood up and said, "Grandmother, mother, there are still things outside, I'll go out first."
When Princess Princess heard this, she knew it and said naturally, "Hurry up, we won't keep you."
Zhao Shi got up and walked out, and Chu Jinyao followed silently. When going out, Lin Xiyuan quietly said to her while no one was paying attention, "Wait a minute, I have something for you."
Chu Jinyao's heart moved, looked around, deliberately slowed down, and fell behind a few steps.
Behind Lin Xiyuan was a clump of vines. Although the vines had all withered in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, there was no problem blocking the line of sight. Lin Xiyuan saw that no one was paying attention, so he took out a purse from his sleeve and put it in Chu Jinyao's hand.
"This is that Lin... Well, I don't know what to call him, that's all, it's that person." Lin Xiyuan couldn't say that it was Eunuch Lin, and he wasn't good at being called a servant, so he just fooled and said, "Yes He picked up your purse and asked me to hand it over to you."
Chu Jinyao suddenly saw his own things, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. She was too lazy to think about how true and how false Lin Xiyuan's words were. She didn't care about etiquette and quickly took the purse from Lin Xiyuan's hand, as if Lin Xiyuan was going to regret it in the next instant. Lin Xiyuan was helpless, and was a little funny in his heart.
He won't steal her.
Chu Jinyao felt at ease when she took the things into her hands. She looked at Lin Xiyuan vigilantly, for fear that the other party would take it away, and said, "Xie Shizi, the carriage is already outside, I'll take my leave first."
"Yeah." Lin Xiyuan withdrew his hand, and when Chu Jinyao took something, his fingertips inevitably touched his palm. Until now, this cool feeling still seemed to stay on his palm. Lin Xiyuan clenched his palms without expression, and watched Chu Jinyao turn and leave. She took two steps, and Lin Xiyuan couldn't help but whispered, "Be careful in the future."
When Chu Jinyao heard this sentence, she was surprised, the prince actually asked her? But the person in front had already looked back. Chu Jinyao was afraid of another setback, so she didn't care to respond, she immediately picked up her skirt and ran forward.
Lin Xiyuan stood for a while, worried about attracting attention, so he had to leave. He avoided the eyeliner all the way to the outside of the mansion, and respectfully clasped the other person.
"Your Highness."
"Yeah." Qin Yi nodded lightly, turned around, and fluttered his eyes like black jade and glazed glass on Lin Xiyuan, "Have you finished your family affairs?"
"Your Highness, it has been rectified properly." Lin Xiyuan didn't understand why the crown prince suddenly cared about his family affairs, and he specially asked him to go back and take care of his own affairs before coming out. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiyuan had already turned many guesses in his heart, but in the end, Lin Xiyuan lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Prince for being sympathetic, and leave time for me to meet the elders."
"Yeah." Qin Yi replied softly. He suddenly asked, "What about the stuff?"
Lin Xiyuan frowned: "What?"
"Xiao Linzi told me that he and a girl were looking for something in the garden for a long time. Did you find the last thing?"
It turned out to be this matter, Lin Xiyuan said: "His Royal Highness remembers that it was my cousin who lost a gadget by mistake. I have found it and returned it to her."
"That's good." Qin Yi nodded, his face was light and cloudy, but he was thinking, what cousin, what kind of cousin is Chu Jinyao
And Lin Xiyuan is also thinking, what does the fifth cousin's purse have to do with the prince? What should he do and say "that's fine"
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Qin Yi: The wind is light and the clouds are light
Lin Xiyuan: keep smiling
However, in both sides: Is there something wrong with him? What's the matter with him
