The rain fell on the bluestone slate bricks, and the sound outside became blurred through the rain curtain and the muffled thunder.
"Master, there is a pavilion here. You can take shelter here for a while."
Chu Jinyao was startled, and immediately took two steps back, because she walked too fast and accidentally pulled the wound.
She couldn't help but "his", holding the wound in her uninjured hand, not knowing what to do for a while.
Chu Jinyao hesitated for a moment, wanting to rush out before the rain was falling, but before she could act, the other party entered the pavilion.
This torrential rain seemed to disrupt the pace of many people. One man had slightly damp hair, with a few strands of hair sticking to his forehead. A drop of water slid down his cheek to his chin, and finally disappeared into the heavy collar.
The green-clothed servant behind him was even more mixed, and the clothes couldn't stop dripping down.
The green-clothed boy rolled up his half-wet sleeves and hurriedly wiped the water off his chin. He rubbed it twice and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Miss Chu?"
Chu Jinyao stood in the corner, she also recognized that this was the servant who showed her the way last time, but now the truth is revealed, this is not the servant of the prince's mansion at all, but the father-in-law beside the prince.
Hearing Xiao Linzi's voice, Qin Yi also turned his head to look here, his eyes falling on Chu Jinyao without escaping. Chu Jinyao pretended not to be able to see anymore, so she could only bite the bullet and press her hand in a salute, "His Royal Highness is blessed, and Eunuch Lin is blessed."
"Miss Chu, it's really you." Xiao Linzi smiled, "Why is the girl here?"
But Qin Yi's eyebrows were wrinkled, and he suddenly asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Xiao Linzi was reminded like this, only to realize that Chu Jinyao had been holding one arm, and there was faint blood on his wrist.
Xiao Linzi also became vigilant: "Yo, what's wrong with your hand?"
Chu Jinyao really has the heart to jump into the river. Originally, she was bitten by the county owner, and it was embarrassing to be trapped in the pavilion by the rain, but now she has even met His Royal Highness! She had been praying silently that the prince would ignore her or pay attention to her. However, it backfired. The prince actually asked about the wound on her hand.
Chu Jinyao was so embarrassed, she said hesitantly, "I... accidentally bruised it."
Qin Yi smiled and asked coldly, "Where did you bruise, and you can actually wipe out the traces of tooth marks?"
Chu Jinyao was at a loss for words. As soon as she looked up, she found that Qin Yi was looking at her calmly, his eyes seemed to say again, you continue to talk, and then talk.
But the words have already come to this point. It would be too embarrassing for her to change her words. Chu Jinyao could only bite the bullet and continue to carry it hard: "Maybe... That stone looks like this. The world is huge, and there are no wonders."
Qin Yi really laughed angrily this time, Chu Jinyao is simply talented, and every time she sees her, she has new jokes. Qin Yi turned around and instructed Xiao Linzi: "Go and get the jade mark paste."
Xiao Linzi was obviously stunned for a moment, Chu Jinyao was greatly surprised, and quickly said, "No, isn't that bad?"
Xiao Linzi turned his head to look at Chu Jinyao, and then raised his head to look at their crown prince, completely surprised. Xiao Linzi endured the shock in his heart and looked at Qin Yi, and found that Qin Yi glanced down at him, his eyes were very impatient, even if Qin Yi didn't say anything, Xiao Linzi knew, and the prince said again, "Why don't you go quickly?"
Xiao Linzi knew that Qin Yi never liked to say it a second time, so he immediately picked up his eyes, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, the servant retire."
Chu Jinyao hurriedly pursued two steps, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Hey, this... is not good?"
"Why not?" Xiao Linzi had already gone out, and only Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao were left in the pavilion. Qin Yi answered coolly: "Who are you worrying about when you say that?"
Chu Jinyao held back for a while, then said aggrievedly, "The girl is worried about His Royal Highness."
Qin Yi turned his head and couldn't help laughing. When he looked back, his eyes were slightly smiling and sparkling.
Chu Jinyao didn't see Qin Yi's expression, she lowered her head slightly and stood quietly and alertly in the corner.
Qin Yi was very curious. He didn't deliberately conceal his identity when he didn't come back. Now that Chu Jinyao saw his deity with his own eyes, he immediately figured out the whole story. She stood in the distance so defensively, could she have any scruples
Qin Yi felt that it was unnecessary. Although he had returned to his own identity, he was the same person when he was jade pendant as he is now. Why is it so clear? Perhaps Chu Jinyao just found out that he was the prince, and was frightened and a little strange, but it was inevitable.
Qin Yi thought about it this way, and simply took the initiative to walk towards Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao was startled, she took a step back suddenly, her heart loosened, and she almost fell off the steps.
Qin Yi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, so he immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her back with one hand. He looked down at Chu Jinyao's eyes and frowned dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so afraid of me?"
When Chu Jinyao turned her wrist slightly, she wanted to retract it, but Qin Yi's grip was firm, she couldn't even move. Chu Jinyao had to answer Qin Yi's question in a low voice: "No..."
"Is this still called?"
Chu Jinyao moved her wrist carefully, but there was still nothing she could do. She looked up at Qin Yi with a bit of suffocation. There was the sound of the pattering rain outside, and the rain curtain cut off all the noise from the outside world, as if this small world was the only place between heaven and earth. Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi from this angle, only to see that he was handsome and handsome, with a slender figure, his eyes were dark and clear, and now he was a little puzzled and stared at her intently.
Chu Jinyao's heart suddenly missed half a beat, it was too similar, too similar. Looking at it this way, Chu Jinyao could hardly tell the difference between the prince and Qi Ze. Chu Jinyao turned to look at Qin Yi's hands. His hands were also very beautiful. His fingers were long and strong, and the joints could hardly be seen protruding. Just looking at these hands, he felt full of strength.
Chu Jinyao thought with hindsight that these hands were indeed full of power, and the great victory over Tatar last winter was under the leadership of the owner of these hands. It can even be said that these white jade-like hands were once stained with blood, and they were powerful enemies.
Qin Yi half-sighed and half-hilariously said, "You are truly the only one. I have met so many people, and you are the only one who dares to get distracted when I ask questions."
Chu Jinyao came back to her senses, only to realize that she had run away in front of His Royal Highness. She was a little embarrassed, but after this interruption, Qin Yi no longer pursued the answer, and let go of her hand.
Chu Jinyao quickly retracted, and quietly turned her wrist at an inconspicuous angle. This is the first time she has stood so close to a man, and she has deeply realized the difference in strength between men and women. After such a short time, her wrist actually hurts.
Qin Yi let go of Chu Jinyao and stopped asking questions. He thought that Chu Jinyao was still not used to it, so he needed a buffer time. Qin Yi had long been accustomed to being treated like a crown prince, and he was accustomed to such a respectful and alienating attitude. Although he was suddenly replaced by Chu Jinyao, he was a little bit uncomfortable.
Qin Yi decided to give Chu Jinyao time. Speaking of which, Chu Jinyao was also a life saver for him. He was not a small-minded person. , as long as it is not excessive, he will not pursue it.
But now it seems that Chu Jinyao doesn't quite understand what this kindness represents. Her current expression made Qin Yi feel that she just wanted to stay away from him.
Qin Yi glanced coldly at Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinyao was really inexplicable, she hadn't spoken yet, what happened to His Royal Highness
Chu Jinyao felt that she couldn't fight against someone of the prince's level, so she said cautiously, "His Royal Highness, it's my fault for disturbing you to take shelter from the rain today. I'll leave now, please forgive the prince."
Seeing that the prince had no objection, Chu Jinyao went out with confidence. But when she just turned around and was about to step into the rain curtain, she suddenly heard the prince say, "Take another step and try."
Chu Jinyao's feet that were lifted into the air suddenly froze, neither walking nor not walking.
The prince's temper was really annoying, and Chu Jinyao felt a sense of familiarity in a trance.
Chu Jinyao was grieved and angry for a while, and she didn't dare to challenge the prince's words, so she really took another step and tried. She had no choice but to take back her footsteps as if nothing had happened, and moved back to the middle of the pavilion in small steps.
Qin Yi casually pointed to the stone bench in the pavilion and said, "Sit down."
This action is really too familiar. Chu Jinyao sat down almost naturally. After she sat down, she realized that she was sitting opposite the prince, sitting with the prince
Chu Jinyao stood up with a squeak, Qin Yi was startled by her sudden action, and looked up at her angrily: "What are you doing again?"
"Your Highness, it's not suitable for me to sit down..."
"Then you want me to invite me a second time?"
"...I didn't mean that, did I?"
Qin Yi secretly said a lot of nonsense, and glared at her: "Sit down."
"… Oh."
When Chu Jinyao was seated, Qin Yi asked, "How is your hand?"
After being reminded, Chu Jinyao looked at her wrist. The teeth marks bitten by the county owner have turned red, and the wounds are no longer bleeding. If she hadn't been reminded by the prince, she would have forgotten about it.
Chu Jinyao would never speak ill of a boudoir girl in front of the prince, not to mention that this person is the county head of the Huailing Palace. Chu Jinyao shook her wrist lightly, let her sleeve cover the wound, and said lightly, "It's nothing."
Qin Yi was very sure of who's tooth mark it was. He was angry in his heart, but he also felt that it was unbelievable. Which woman is so courageous that she dared to bite Chu Jinyao? As for the possibility of being bitten by a man, Qin Yi ruled it out without even thinking about it. If there is a man who has the courage to do so... heh.
Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't say anything, Qin Yi could understand her scruples, so Qin Yi did not continue to ask. Whatever he wanted to know, he would always know. Qin Yi took this note secretly, and then asked, "Where's your maid? Why did they leave you here alone?"
Speaking of this Chu Jinyao, he wanted to sigh again: "I don't know either. Linglong clearly promised to go back to find Kikyo, but it has been delayed until now. Don't you encounter any unexpected situation on the way?"
"Go out to find someone..." Qin Yi repeated Chu Jinyao's words, and suddenly asked, "Why did she go out to find someone to replace her? What did she do?"
Chu Jinyao was startled and lost his voice: "His Royal Highness..."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." Anyway, he probably guessed it.
Linglong is probably the big maid by Chu Jinyao's side. If the big maid can leave Chu Jinyao to go out, I am afraid that only matters related to the Huailing Palace have this kind of weight...
Combined with the tooth marks on Chu Jinyao's wrist, looking young and not like an adult, there is only one possibility.
Qin Yi guessed the culprit, and the rest is no longer urgent. Instead, he was curious, why did Chu Jinyao change someone? Why does this Linglong sound less reliable than the original two maids
Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi's face carefully, and found that the other party's expression was indifferent. She stared at it carefully for a while, and suddenly found that Qin Yi's brows moved, and Chu Jinyao hurriedly turned her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Chu Jinyao comforted herself, the prince is not a god, just a few words, how much can he guess no matter how keen he is? Chu Jinyao was relieved, so he and the prince looked at the heavy rain outside the pavilion.
After a moment of silence, the sound of running came from the rain. Qin Yi's eyes were instantly focused, and he turned slightly towards the source of the voice, while Chu Jinyao got up immediately and stepped back without expression.
Qin Yi had a panoramic view of Chu Jinyao's movements, he pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Xiao Linzi ran into the pavilion in the rain. After entering the pavilion, he turned over to collect his umbrella and said, "Prince Prince, I have found what you want."
Xiao Linzi wanted to hand it directly to Chu Jinyao. Who dares to let the crown prince do these things is because he is tired of life. But Xiao Linzi just took two steps when he was stopped by Qin Yi: "You are covered in water, give me the medicine, and you can hang it by yourself."
Xiao Linzi was stunned for a moment, his mouth could almost hold half an egg. Fortunately, the one walking in front of the imperial palace, if nothing else, had an absolutely first-rate reaction speed, Xiao Linzi immediately leaned over and put the jade mark cream on, and then rolled to the corner of the pavilion.
Qin Yi picked up the porcelain vase from the stone table, and turned around with his fingertips, as if weighing the weight, and then stretched out his arm and handed it to Chu Jinyao.
Chu Jinyao was also stunned, she hesitated and looked up at Qin Yi in disbelief.
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows strangely: "What's wrong?"
Chu Jinyao wanted to say that this was unlawful, but she thought that the dignified prince would reach out to hand her something, and she might be even more unruly if she didn't take it. Chu Jinyao had no choice but to whisper "Thank you, Your Highness", and then stepped forward to take the porcelain bottle with both hands.
Xiao Linzi acted very well. He was mostly wet himself, but the medicine bottle had no water stains at all, and there was a touch of warmth in the hand. Chu Jinyao held the porcelain bottle and pressed her hand to salute Qin Yi: "The girl thanked His Highness."
Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's movements, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Asking An Li was taught by him, and sure enough, it was much more comfortable to watch this way. It was also at this moment that Qin Yi suddenly realized that Chu Jinyao's dress today seemed to be the one she made by herself.
Qin Yi remembered that he woke up in Jade Peili for a few days, and he was evading and refusing to reveal his whereabouts. However, Chu Jinyao was targeted by his cousins because of a cloud brocade, and he came back to cry. Qin Yi was really afraid of crying. Had to speak out to comfort her.
The skirt she was wearing was the Yunjin that time.
Qin Yi once watched Chu Jinyao thread a needle and thread and cut a piece of ordinary fabric into clothes. That was the first time Qin Yi saw a woman do needlework. He felt bored at first, and after watching it for a long time, It felt amazing and peaceful. He was limited by the jade pendant at the time, and it was inevitable to look at Chu Jinyao from an upward angle. It was difficult to visually see her makeup. He could only know from the feedback of others that Chu Jinyao should be more shirt-dressed.
Now he has suddenly returned to his own identity. Looking at it from this angle, he unexpectedly discovered that Chu Jinyao was no longer the black and thin girl from before, and to put it bluntly, she could be regarded as a beauty.
Qin Yi was surprised and didn't see him for half a year. What did Chu Jinyao do, and why did it change so much
Now that Chu Jinyao has received the medicine from the prince, she has no reason to stay here anymore, she secretly relieved, and after expressing her thanks, she continued: "His Royal Highness, the rain has become less, and the people don't dare to disturb His Highness to avoid the rain, Retire first."
This time Qin Yi didn't stop her, but stood up with her: "Yes, it's not good for you to stay outside for too long. Xiao Linzi."
Xiao Linzi, who regarded himself as an invisible man, appeared immediately: "Hey, the servant is here."
"Where's the umbrella?"
Xiao Linzi took out another brand new umbrella from his arms and handed it to Qin Yi respectfully. He knew that the prince didn't like to hang out with too many people, especially that he didn't like others to hold umbrellas for him, so although he went back in the rain to get medicine, he didn't ask other servants to come over, but brought a brand new umbrella.
Look, it's used now, or he Xiaolinzi knows how to figure out what he likes.
Qin Yi took the umbrella, he held the umbrella with one hand, and the other hand made a move to Chu Jinyao, the meaning could not be more obvious.
Chu Jinyao felt that it was dark in front of her eyes. It was normal to give medicine, so let the prince hold an umbrella for her
She is afraid that she really thinks her life is too long.
Chu Jinyao shook her head again and again, stepped back and stood in the rain: "No need, the rain is not heavy, I'll just go by myself."
The words fell, and the broken hair on Chu Jinyao's temples was already sticking to her face, and the rain slid down her cheeks, dripping down. Chu Jinyao blinked, trying her best to keep her expression unchanged, as if the rain was really not big.
Qin Yi glanced at her with a look of disgust, and said, "Come here, your hair is wet."
Chu Jinyao shook her head firmly, resolutely refused to go over, but turned around and walked out. Chu Jinyao originally thought that it would be all right, a shower of rain was better than being beheaded, but she just walked a few steps when she heard unhurried footsteps behind her.
Chu Jinyao turned back tentatively, and was surprised to find that Qin Yi had come out as well. He didn't hold an umbrella either. With a long leg, he easily stood beside her: "Do you have to get in the rain?"
"His Royal Highness!" Chu Jinyao couldn't help but exclaimed, "How can you get in the rain?"
"I asked you to hold an umbrella, but you refused." Qin Yi said coolly.
"Ah?" Chu Jinyao frowned, ignoring the rain on her face, and hurriedly said, "What does it matter? Oh, I mean, I don't need an umbrella, your Highness, just support yourself. "
Qin Yi sneered: "Even if this prince doesn't take a break, he won't let weak women get caught in the rain, and he will hold an umbrella by himself."
"Then..." Chu Jinyao wondered, "Then give me an umbrella and let Eunuch Lin come to cover you from the rain?"
Xiao Linzi followed step by step, and followed carefully behind them, daring not to get too close or too far. The prince does not hold an umbrella, does he dare to hold it? Of course not.
Qin Yi glanced at the rear, then turned back and said to Chu Jinyao indifferently, "I hate being pinned down the most in my life, and holding an umbrella in the rain is barely an item."
"Then... The girl will hold an umbrella for you?"
Looking up at Xiao Linzi who was far away, he glanced at the girl Chu in admiration, and then quickly lowered his head.
Qin Yi smiled lightly, and everyone could see that his sneer meant more: "Then let me add one more thing, I hate lowering my head more than being held back."
Chu Jinyao bit her lip helplessly and almost collapsed: "Then what are you going to do?"
Qin Yi also seemed impatient. He gestured to open the umbrella and said, "Come here, it's raining heavily."
Chu Jinyao took a step back abruptly, almost jumping up: "How can this work? His Royal Highness..."
Qin Yi really hadn't tried the feeling of wanting to strangle her for a long time. He raised his cold fingers and pinched his eyebrows helplessly. "Well, let's go like this. Where do you live?"
Chu Jinyao stood beside the prince anxiously and walked towards his yard in the rain. Xiao Linzi followed in the rain. He wiped the rain on his face with all his strength, and cried out in his heart, "What is the Crown Prince doing? You obviously have umbrellas, why don't you use them? The three of you obviously have umbrellas, why don't you use them!"
Xiao Linzi thought with a sad face, he was wrong, because he did not speculate on the meaning of the prospective master, next time he went out, he should bring two additional umbrellas.
After walking for a while, Qin Yi tilted his head slightly and looked at Chu Jinyao beside him. The rain has indeed eased a lot, but even so, her clothes were wet, and the rain dripped down her cheeks. It was a poem in response to a poem.
Qin Yi snorted softly and touched his chin. What is he thinking about? Could it be that, like Chu Jinyao, her brain was damaged by the rain
Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao, who was like a chicken in soup, and couldn't help but say, "You better come here, you are getting wet now, like a monkey."
Chu Jinyao suddenly felt dazed and couldn't even think of how to reply for a while. She bit her lip secretly, and glanced at the prince who was bright and straight even though she was wet.
Chu Jinyao thought to herself, the crown prince has seen so many beauties. If he says this, doesn't that mean that she is really ugly now
Qin Yi was amused by Chu Jinyao's resentful little eyes, but when Chu Jinyao saw that the prince was still smiling, he suddenly felt that his life was bleak. They have been called ugly, and they are still ugly as monkeys, so it doesn't matter what is beyond the norm. Chu Jinyao walked under the umbrella dejectedly, letting the crown prince cling to the umbrella and send her back side by side.
It gets dark soon after it rains, Kikyo waits left and right, but still doesn't see the girl coming back, even if you send a letter, will it work? There was no news from the girl, neither did Linglong, Kikyo gradually became anxious, or Gongmao was calm: "Don't panic, it's raining so hard outside, the girl and Linglong didn't bring an umbrella, they are probably trapped somewhere. Wait for the day. If you don’t come back when it gets dark, let’s go and ask the old princess to find someone.”
"Okay." Kikyo replied worriedly.
After a while, Kikyo suddenly heard a knock on the door, she jumped up with a squeak, and ran out, because she was running too fast, she almost tripped herself. After she hurriedly pushed the door open, she saw their girl standing outside the door, holding a seven-bone white jade palace umbrella in her hand.
Kikyo was surprised and delighted: "Girl? Why is it only you, Linglong?"
Chu Jinyao put away the umbrella and went into the yard. Hearing this, she couldn't help frowning: "Linglong didn't come back?"
Kikyo shook his head, and Chu Jinyao's expression immediately became serious: "Who is doing the trick?"
Kikyo was taken aback, she asked tentatively, "Girl, you mean..."
Chu Jinyao had a calm face, shook her head and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it in the room."
"Hey, good." Kikyo swiftly took the umbrella from Chu Jinyao's hand and stood upside down by the wall. When she saw the umbrella, she couldn't help but snorted: "Girl, since Linglong didn't follow you, who sent you back? This umbrella doesn't look like it's on the market..."
Chu Jinyao's eyes flickered for a moment, and she bit her lip in a guilty conscience. After the prince sent her to the gate of the courtyard, Chu Jinyao resolutely refused the prince to enter. Fortunately, the prince did not intend to enter, but when he heard her words, his eyes were very strange.
The prince left his umbrella to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinyao insisted, but only if it was useful. Later, Xiao Linzi was still clever, and Da Da Da ran up and handed his umbrella to the crown prince, and this matter was resolved satisfactorily.
Chu Jinyao stood in front of her yard like a sleepwalker, holding the umbrella used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Out of her guilty conscience, she did not dare to knock on the door, but fortunately the sound of rain covered other sounds, Chu Jinyao stood quietly at the door, but no one noticed. After she was sure that the prince and others would never be seen again, she reached out and knocked on the door.
Now that Kikyo suddenly asked this question, Chu Jinyao didn't think about what to say, so he said vaguely: "I met someone on the way and came back."
"It turned out that he met a kind servant, and he really did send the girl back to the hospital, but he even let the girl get wet in the rain." Kikyo complained casually.
Chu Jinyao was startled, and quickly said, "No, that's not a servant! Don't talk nonsense!"
Kikyo opened his mouth blankly: "Huh?"
Chu Jinyao deeply felt that this problem was a pit, and she couldn't understand how to say it, so she avoided it: "In short, I can't say that kind of words just now. Can't even mention it!"
Bellflower was inexplicable, but seeing Chu Jinyao's serious face, he had to quickly respond: "Hey, yes."
Grandma Gong also heard the voice coming out, she listened vaguely, and asked vaguely: "What's the matter, what are you talking about, the girl is so serious?"
Chu Jinyao and Kikyo had already walked to the front of the house, while Gongmao turned sideways and opened the curtain to let Chu Jinyao enter the house. Chu Jinyao entered the door with a low body, washed her face hastily, and then changed her clothes by Kikyo.
As Chu Jinyao undressed with Kikyo, she said to Mammy Gong, "Mammy, things are a little serious today."
Mistress Gong also paid attention when she heard it: "What's the matter?"
Chu Jinyao bit the county owner today, and Linglong went out to call for someone but never came back, so he picked up the important thing and told the grandmother to the palace. As for the fact that she was sent back by the prince, Chu Jinyao thought it didn't matter and forcibly skipped it.
"It turned out to be like this." Gongmao said with a gloomy face, "Dangtang county magistrate, to be able to do such a thing is really ignorant and arrogant. I originally told her that she has a temper, but her nature is not bad. But now it seems that she has been completely spoiled by the old princess and the princess!"
This is because there is no one in the room, so the Gongmao dared to tell them. Grandma Gong and Chu Jinyao looked at each other and felt helpless. What could they do even if the county chief was not named personnel? Can they expect the old princess and the princess to wake up suddenly, and then strictly control the county chief? Obviously not. So in this case, most of them are dumb people eating berberine and swallowing them silently.
What's worse is that it is still possible to endure the grievances at this moment, but Chu Jinyao still has to stay in the prince's mansion, and the family even plans to push her to be the prince's concubine. Mistress Gong had an unspeakable sadness. She looked at Chu Jinyao, whose skin seemed to be plated with gold under the light, and felt as if she had drunk two catties of coptis in her heart. Such a girl who is half a porcelain person has a good character, personality and looks. Could it be that she is staying here like this, being a sister-in-law to a mindless county head, and a daughter-in-law to a princess who has been blinded by her heart? Mistress Gong, who is used to seeing the back house being slammed, is very sad. What does it have to be like
At that moment, Mama Gong had an urge, why don't you ask Mrs. Chu to change the home for the fifth girl? Anyway, I haven't said it yet, everything is too late. But then Mama Gong dismissed this idea, and said with her conscience, is there a more decent husband's family in Shanxi besides the family of the Wangfu of Huailing County? There will be no more. The eldest son of the Prince's Mansion in Huailing County, his character and family background can't be picked. This is already the good son-in-law that everyone in the city can't ask for. Whose mother-in-law and aunt are not bad? But the husband who wants to be as promising as a prince is hard to find with a lantern.
Mama Gong had to admit even more frustratedly that the family intended the fifth girl to become the concubine, which was already the best destination. If you miss this one, your future choices will only get worse.
Grandma Gong had to say against her heart: "Miss, please bear with it, don't make trouble. When the old princess sees the injury on your hand, she will definitely pity your docile and sensible. It's good to go."
Chu Jinyao understands what Mama Gong is implying to her, a daughter-in-law who has been a mother-in-law for many years, who doesn't come here like this? These few days are the 60th birthday of the old princess, and the Marquis of Changxing has also come to celebrate her birthday with her family. Presumably, in private, the old lady Chu has secretly mentioned this to the old princess.
Maybe tomorrow, she will be able to understand the attitude of the Prince's Mansion. Sitting under the lamp, Chu Jinyao didn't even know what result she expected to see tomorrow.
Well, it's all the same. Chu Jinyao didn't want to discuss this topic, and said lightly: "These are still far away, let's find Linglong's whereabouts first."
Mama Gong changed her tone wisely: "What the girl said is. Girl, who do you think Linglong was stopped by?"
"Who could it be?" Chu Jinyao couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Mammy, please take a walk and go to Chu Jinmiao's place. You are from your grandmother, and she is not even a grandmother's. Dare to show face."
"It's okay to let the old slave go." Gongmao asked, "Girl, how do you know where Siguniang is? If you go wrong..."
"It must be her." Chu Jinyao was very disdainful, "She is the only one who can do such disgusting and shameless things in the house. Of the remaining few people, which one is not the best? I'm afraid Chu Jinmiao will do it. People's wooden warehouses don't even know it."
Chu Jinyao's words were full of personal touches, but Mama Gong felt that it was irrefutable. She bestowed a thousand blessings on Chu Jinyao and went out with an umbrella.
After a while, Mama Gong really brought Linglong back. Linglong was not injured except for the damp hair on the temples. Linglong was bestowed by Mrs. Chu after all. After Chu Jinmiao detained her, she was already in a dilemma. How could she have the courage to use lynching to punish Linglong
Seeing Chu Jinyao, Linglong didn't care to dry the water on her head, and hurriedly walked towards Chu Jinyao: "Miss, are you okay? How did you... come back? Didn't you feel wronged?"
"No." Chu Jinyao knew that after Linglong was worried that she would be detained, someone would hurt Chu Jinyao. Not to mention that Chu Jinmiao does not have this ability, but to say that it was raining, and then the prince was encountered. If they really want to make a fuss, the prince is the best deterrent.
With their three courage, they wouldn't dare to get involved with the prince.
Linglong finally felt relieved. She suddenly thought of Chu Jinyao's injury and said suddenly, "By the way, how is your injury, girl?"
Chu Jinyao stretched out his hand: "I've already put the medicine on Bellflower."
Linglong was relieved, but Chu Jinyao withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, suppressing her guilty conscience.
Chu Jinyao asked Kikyo to give her medicine just now while Mama Gong was out. Kikyo's mind was simple, Chu Jinyao didn't mention what kind of medicine it was, and Kikyo didn't care, just thought the ointment smelled good. In this way, the matter of Yuhengao and the prince was ambiguously fooled by Chu Jinyao.
The next day, Chu Jinyao went to greet the old princess early as usual.
The three-day Daqing has passed. Yesterday, many people left one after another. Today, the entire county palace is showing a kind of exhaustion after the carnival, even the old princess of the birthday star is unhappy.
Chu Jinyao came to greet the old princess. As usual, the old princess nodded indifferently and would let her out, but this time, the old princess gave her a long look.
Chu Jinyao's heart unknowingly raised.
The old princess remembered what Mrs. Chu said to her yesterday. At that time, there was no one in the warm pavilion, and Mrs. Chu mentioned a marriage in the guest in a casual tone, saying that it would be better to have a kiss and a kiss. The old princess also smiled and listened at the time, but in her heart, she secretly wrote it down.
Mrs. Chu specially praised Lin Xiyuan for being young and promising yesterday, and then she talked about kissing and adding kisses unintentionally. Although she pretended to be married to someone else, can the old princess really think that this is someone else's business? This time, Mrs. Chu has already made it clear.
The old princess didn't make a statement at that time, and after thinking about it in the evening, she felt that if the girl of the Chu family was to live up to her expectations, it would indeed be a good deal for the Changxinghou mansion to help her as a prince concubine. Sooner or later, Lin Xiyuan would have to marry a concubine, and there were only a few families he could choose, including the Marquis of Changxing. Since the Marquis of Changxing was the first to express its position and provided enough bargaining chips, it would not be a bad idea to sell Old Madam Chu a favor.
The old princess looked at Chu Jinyao carefully at this time, and the more she looked, the more she felt that this woman was worthy of an important task. Since this is the case, there is no need to hide it, and I directly give Mrs. Chu the right words. I am afraid that it will be annoying if the appetite is hanged for a long time.
Thinking like this, the old princess smiled kindly and kindly to Chu Jinyao, and her words became a lot closer: "You are the first to come every day, you are really a lovely child. It rained for a long time yesterday, and the dripping was very Nasty, are you ready to sleep?"
Chu Jinyao was flattered, why did the old princess ask such an intimate question? She said in a measured manner: "Fortunately, thank the ancestors for your concern."
The old princess pulled Chu Jinyao to sit beside her, held Chu Jinyao's hand, and said a lot of thoughtful words. Lan Ze came in after a while, and she listened to the old princess while changing tea. After the new tea was replaced, Lan Ze poured a cup for the old princess, and handed Chu Jinyao another tea cup, smiling all over his face: "Miss Chu Wu is so lucky, she has won the joy of our ancestors. How many of us? A fool who has been serving the ancestors for more than ten years, it is not as effective as a girl for three or four days!"
After hearing this, Chu Jinyao wanted to stand up and refuse, but was stopped by the old princess and said, "Our family and the Marquis of Changxing are familiar with each other, you don't need to hold it like this, you are always polite. Yes. Just make this your home."
The last sentence of the old princess was a pun, and Chu Jinyao heard it almost immediately. She was in a complicated mood. She only felt that the stone in her heart had smashed into the ground, and a big hole had been smashed into the ground, so she didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Chu Jinyao quickly picked up her mood, and thanked the old princess respectfully and meekly: "Thank you ancestors for raising me, you don't mind me being annoyed."
Lan Ze heard this, her smile remained the same, she put down the teapot, walked around the room again, and went out quietly.
The idea of the old princess has been made clear. After a few more days, I will mention this to the princess and the prince. If they have no opinion, then they can invite someone to the Marquis of Changxing. The Crown Prince is now in the Prince's Mansion, and the opportunity cannot be missed again. If they miss this time, they should regret it later. The matter of Lin Xiyuan and Chu Jinyao was settled as soon as possible, and the Marquis of Changxing would be able to help the Lin family gain wealth without any worries.
Gradually more and more people greeted him, and Chu Jinyao quietly stepped back from the old princess' side and stood aside inconspicuously. The old princess held her hand just now, and it was impossible not to see the teeth marks on her wrist, but the old princess didn't ask or say anything, which was already a statement.
Also, Chu Jinmiao secretly detained Chu Jinyao's maid, although this is despicable, but in detail it is the Chu family's own business, how could the old princess stretch out her hand to take care of other people's granddaughters? It's no good and provoking a show, the old princess will not do such a thing. As for disciplining the county magistrate, it is even more impossible to stand up for Chu Jinyao. The old princess was so eager to suppress all the rumors, how could she take the initiative to mention it. What stupid things the county owner did yesterday, the old princess knows all about it, but so what? This is a person who wants to be a princess. Will the old princess damage the reputation of the county owner in the slightest
Chu Jinyao has understood that in this back house where interests come first, there is no justice, only interests. Chu Jinyao was bitten by someone, trapped in the rain by someone, and she had nowhere to complain. No one has given an explanation, so everyone wants to turn this matter over.
Chu Jinyao clearly felt that she was used to the faces of these so-called dignitaries, but even today, she still felt disappointed.
Is this the environment she will live in for the rest of her life? Without justice, power and interest can prevail and distort the truth. Even if she did not marry into the palace of Huailing County, other people would probably still be like this!
Chu Jinmiao came to greet her with fear and fear today. She was afraid that the old princess would mention yesterday's incident, but after waiting for a long time, she found that the old princess looked like she didn't know anything, and the county owner didn't mention a word.
Chu Jinmiao, who grew up in a family of power and eunuchs, immediately understood that no one would be held accountable for what happened yesterday.
Chu Jinmiao was so happy that she almost laughed. In a corner that no one saw, Chu Jinmiao winked at Chu Jinyao sarcastically and ostentatiously. Chu Jinyao turned her face away, not wanting to see this bastard at all.
The house was full of joy, and the female family members were chatting and laughing tacitly when they suddenly heard a report from outside: "His Royal Highness is here."
Now everyone stopped joking and stood up to greet the prince. The crown prince is only one year older than Lin Xiyuan, and he is also the grandson of the old princess. Every day, the old princess would not dare to come here in the morning and evening, but the prince is the prince after all.
After Qin Yi came in, he subconsciously searched the crowd. He quickly found Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao was standing in the corner alone, and his face looked unnerved. He secretly raised God, what's going on
He looked at the old princess and the county head of the Lin family again, and found that they were all ruddy and smiling, and they didn't look like they were going to be held accountable. Qin Yi understood and dared to be affectionate. Are they trying to pretend to be confused and pretend to be peaceful
Qin Yi almost laughed angrily, and if he wanted to whitewash the peace, he had to see if he would let them be peaceful!
