The prince came so early? Chu Jinxian was taken aback, the two of them had to stop and stood up to greet the prince.
However, when the two maids next to Xiao Qi saw it, they frowned and said, "Five girls, you and the prince can't meet, this is not what a woman with rules should do."
And Qin Yi, accompanied by Marquis of Changxing, Zhao Jiazhi and others, was heading towards Rongning Hall.
The Marquis of Changxing asked Qin Yi, "Your Highness, why do you think of Taiyuan?"
"I was going to Datong to hand over military power. I passed by Taiyuan and stopped by to have a look."
passing by? The Marquis of Changxing and his son and son-in-law silently said "oh" and did not ask what kind of way this was. The Marquis of Changxing continued to ask: "That means, His Highness will stay in the capital for a long time?"
Qin Yi casually said "um", which counted as an answer. Although Qin Yi was theoretically the son-in-law of Marquis Changxing, Marquis Changxing didn't dare to take advantage of his father-in-law in front of the prince. He was still the same as before. Behind Marquis Changxing and Qin Yi, there were many people who followed step by step, including junior men from the Hou residence, as well as vassals who came to the Hou residence as guests.
After they crossed a threshold, Qin Yi casually mentioned, "Marquis of Changxing, what are your plans after that?"
Qin Yi felt that it was not good for him to call his future husband-in-law Chu Jing, and it would not be right to call his father-in-law before marriage. The Marquis of Changxing did not pay attention to these details. Instead, he was stunned by Qin Yi's question. The prince asked what his plans were in the future. What does this mean
The Marquis of Changxing asked tentatively, "Your Highness means that the arrangement of the poor house for the little girl is still the arrangement for the younger generation to study..."
Qin Yi did not answer, and said, "I remember that the first Marquis of Changxing was enshrined in the capital. After serving as a Beijing official for more than ten years, his family moved back to their ancestral home. I wonder if the old Marquis of Changxing left a legacy to let the Chu family sons. Are you staying in Taiyuan?"
There is no will, the old Chang Xinghou also wanted to return to the capital, but the lack of officials in the capital is not a good thing, they managed several times and couldn't manage to get the top, Changxing Hou said: "My late father did not have a last edict, when he was alive. I persuaded our younger generation to make progress, but unfortunately we failed to live up to the wishes of his old man."
Qin Yi gave a "uh" and suddenly said: "If the Marquis of Changxing is willing, it is all right to be transferred back to the capital. I remember that there are still vacancies for military officials in the Fifth Army Battalion. The Marquis of Changxing is guarding Taiyuan, and the credit is great. The Fifth Army Battalion also needs a loyal and good general like you. . How does the Marquis of Changxing feel?"
The Marquis of Changxing was stunned. Some of the young masters of the Chu family who followed behind were not sure what the military officials of the Fifth Army Camp were, and they were asking their companions in a low voice, and the men who had already entered the official position were already surprised when they heard the Fifth Army Camp. .
The Marquis of Changxing suddenly reacted. The prince was asking him if he would like to go to the Fifth Army Camp, but he didn't answer right away! The Marquis of Changxing came back to his senses, no longer hesitated, and replied: "I am frightened, thank you Your Highness."
"The Marquis of Changxing is very polite." Qin Yi said as he walked, "After the wedding, you will be my husband-in-law, how dare you be your thanks."
The Marquis of Changxing's legs softened after hearing this, how dare he let the prince call him "you". It was only then that the Marquis of Changxing slowly felt what it meant for his daughter to be the Crown Princess. Not only the praise of his colleagues, but the future problems that have plagued Houfu for a long time, the prince can solve it with a single sentence. The Fifth Army Camp is the elite force of the capital of Su Wei, and it is the core of the army. However, the prince put this beautiful messenger who everyone was fighting over into the hands of the Marquis of Changxing.
And all this, but because his daughter is the crown princess. The prince gave Chu Jinyao face, but also for his own face.
The Marquis of Changxing now has a feeling that their family is really going to be a relative of the royal family.
"It will take some time for the order of the Ministry of War to be dispatched. Does the Marquis of Changxing have a place in the capital?"
"Yes." The Marquis of Changxing replied quickly, "When my grandfather received the emperor's grace, the palace also gave him the mansion, but we have lived in Taiyuan for a long time these years, and the mansion in the capital has been unoccupied for a long time, only a few old people. The servants are always cleaning."
Qin Yi gave a "hmm" and didn't say much, but instead asked them where the old mansion was. Qin Yi's expression and attitude were too indifferent. The Marquis of Changxing didn't think much about it. After telling Qin Yi truthfully, he put the matter behind him.
After all, the mansion is there, and it won't run away. After the promotion order is issued, it will not be too late for him to send someone to repair and clean it. The Marquis of Changxing is now all focused on the Fifth Army Camp, and he even hesitated to think that the prince said that he was transferred to the Fifth Army Camp, should it be true
The Marquis of Changxing walked into the Rongning Hall happily and tormented like this. As soon as they entered, they saw Chu Jinyao standing at the side door with a helpless expression. On the opposite side of her, stood two mammys who were gorgeously dressed and had a stern demeanor. They were saying something to Chu Jinyao, but looking at their expressions, it was definitely not a good thing.
Qin Yi's face suddenly turned cold, so obvious that Changxing Town, Zhao Jiazhi and others who were following him noticed it. The Marquis of Changxing was embarrassed, he stepped forward quickly, raised his voice and said, "Jin Yao, what are you doing here?"
You don't have to think about it to know that these two maids are very angry because Chu Jinyao doesn't cooperate, and they are holding Chu Jinyao to teach her "rules". Suddenly hearing a voice from behind, the two maids were startled. When they turned around, they saw a large group of men standing behind them. What's worse, the master in the middle was vaguely familiar.
The two maids were startled, and hurriedly rolled over to salute Qin Yi: "Old slave, see His Royal Highness, His Highness, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
The two maids saluted and scolded secretly. The prince is here. Why is no one reporting such a big event? The girl who passed the message before had just left. She only said that the prince, the Marquis of Changxing, the uncle, and others set out from the front yard. Why did the prince enter the door in a blink of an eye
At such a time, the two aunties couldn't figure out what the joints had been in the palace for so many years. They secretly looked at Chu Jinyao under the cover of salute, and found that Chu Jinyao lowered his head slightly and was maintaining a standard Wanfu ceremony. "Father, brothers, brother-in-law... Your Royal Highness is blessed."
When Changxing Hou heard that Chu Jinyao put the crown prince last, he was so frightened that his courage broke. And Qin Yi didn't pay attention to this at the time, he lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced lightly and coldly from the two aunties in front of him: "Where are you from?"
The two maids didn't think that His Royal Highness was suddenly interested in their place of origin, they lowered their heads more deeply, and replied respectfully, "This old slave is a person by the Empress's side, and I was ordered by the Empress to teach the five girls' court. etiquette."
"You're going to teach her?"
The two maids were not sure why, so they replied respectfully, "Yes."
They felt that although it was widely rumored in the palace that the prince had a bad temper, he taught the court etiquette and was quite good, so who could make a mistake? However, their estimates were greatly wrong. Qin Yi sneered and said, "You deserve it."
Chu Jinyao's etiquette was taught by him himself, and it was Xiao Qi's turn to send someone to tell him what to do
The two maids were startled, never expecting Qin Yi to say such a thing. They said something wrong, why did they feel that the prince was a little angry
The thin and rigid maid replied cautiously: "The old slave is guilty. But Your Highness, the slave and maid came to instruct the Crown Princess on the palace etiquette and etiquette at the order of the Empress. This is the practice. Learn the rules of the palace."
"It's just learning the palace rules." Qin Yi Liuli's clear eyes fell on Mammy, and she didn't look too severe, but Mammy seemed to be stabbed by an ice needle, and instantly gave birth to boundless coldness, " You are nothing but servants by the Queen's side. It is a great blessing to be able to teach her etiquette. I would like to know, who gave you the courage to make irresponsible remarks on my people?"
Mammy was startled, and immediately wanted to understand that the prince saw that they had reprimanded the princess just now, and this was to vent the prince's anger. The two mothers were complaining constantly. They dared to slap Chu Jinyao's face. It was entirely because of her status as a parent and the queen's acquiescence. Even if it was a royal daughter-in-law, she was still a daughter-in-law. But once the prince comes forward, it will be completely different. If you lend them 10,000 courage, they will not dare to be disrespectful to the prince. If they annoyed the prince, even if they were killed on the spot, the empress would not say anything.
The two maids felt unbearably miserable in their hearts. They cried and begged for mercy in front of the prince, but they gave Chu Jinyao another note in their hearts.
No one would have imagined that the crown prince would come forward to the prince concubine who had never been through the door. The Marquis of Changxing was completely sluggish. He knew that the two maids from the palace were very harsh to Chu Jinyao, but he never thought about what to do. Although it was the first time for the Chu family to marry the royal family, the Marquis of Changxing had heard before that every imperial concubine and concubine had to be scolded by the palace nanny before entering the palace. .
But it was the mother who preached a few words to Chu Jinyao. Everyone in the courtyard thought it was not a big deal. Why was His Royal Highness the Prince so angry? And, what did he just say, "my people"
The current development has also exceeded Chu Jinyao's expectations. Chu Jinyao has been tortured to lose a layer of skin. She will not be foolish to resist, nor will she try to show it to the outside, but at least she knows that suffering cannot be in vain. by.
If Chu Jinyao was still the simple and stubborn country girl from before, she would have been stubbornly silenced when she was scolded by others, and then she would come back to practice her teeth in a place where no one could see her. But now Chu Jinyao has spent a year in the intrigue in the back house, and went to the palace of Huailing County for a while, and his mind has matured a lot, and he also understands that crying children have candy to eat. She can suffer because she is the prince concubine, but these decisions cannot happen silently and disappear without anyone knowing, at least the prince, the righteous master, needs to know.
Chu Jinyao knew that she had bad intentions and was suspected of plotting against the prince. However, she has been sparring for so many days for him, and it is not too much to stab the prince to know
Chu Jinyao had an unspeakable guilty conscience. A few days ago, she was angry with Old Madam Chu, Marquis Changxing and others for testing her, but in a blink of an eye she treated the prince like this. It was the first time that Chu Jinyao did this kind of thing, and she was almost overwhelmed in her heart. Guilt overwhelmed. In Chu Jinyao's original plan, she wanted the crown prince to see that she was being treated harshly by the queen's concubine, but nothing else. Chu Jinmiao didn't think that the prince would be touched, she just wanted to let this master know about it.
When the prince saw it, he stopped to speak for her, and scolded the two maids majestic. Chu Jinyao was shocked to realize that the prince was so good, and he felt more and more ashamed in his heart.
Qin Yi was really angry when he saw that Chu Jinyao had lost more than a lap of weight. It has only been a few days, and Chu Jinyao has become so thin, one can imagine how hateful these two old women are. Qin Yi grew up in the palace. Although he was the eldest son of the emperor, he lost his mother when he was five years old. He has always known that the senior palace servants will torture the newly entered palace maids and eunuchs with some shameful means, which is called "teaching the rules". Qin Yi didn't think it was anything, until seeing these vicious old women use these dirty tricks on Chu Jinyao, Qin Yi's anger broke out unexpectedly.
Qin Yi glanced at the two maids, his face was cold, he looked up in Chu Jinyao's direction, and asked Linglong behind Chu Jinyao: "Are these two people doing anything other than being disrespectful?"
Linglong was stunned for a moment, Chu Jinyao cast her eyes over and shook her head invisibly.
Qin Yi glanced at Chu Jinyao, then said to Linglong, "Tell me the truth."
Linglong was more and more hesitant now, not knowing how to speak. It was clear that the young lady and the prince were not yet married, but Linglong had a strange feeling of panic of not knowing who to listen to.
In the end, Linglong gritted her teeth and stood on Chu Jinyao's side: "Go back to Your Highness, no."
The two maids breathed a sigh of relief: "His Royal Highness, you can see that the Crown Princess also said the same thing, the servants did not disrespect the Crown Princess."
However, Qin Yi understood the expressions of Linglong and Chu Jinyao. He said without any emotion: "If you commit the following crimes and point fingers at the master, this is already a serious crime. It is a joke to ask you to teach the rules. Come on, send these two scumbags back and tell the queen that they are wrong in virtue. Not worthy to teach the Crown Princess."
The two aunts let out a loud cry and almost fainted. After they realized what it meant to be sent back to Beijing, they immediately knelt on the ground and kept begging: "His Royal Highness is gracious, there are no slaves, there are really no slaves!"
Qin Yi glanced coldly at Xiao Linzi behind him: "What are you doing?"
A few eunuchs agreed and immediately walked over to drag the mammy out. The two maids knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes and begged Qin Yi, but Qin Yi didn't even move his eyes.
Even though Chu Jinyao didn't know the rules in the palace, she knew that it was not a good thing, and she might have to worry about her life. Although Chu Jinyao hated these two maids, she never thought about killing each other. What's more, if she sent these two people away, the queen wouldn't send them back
Chu Jinyao didn't care about conforming to the rules or not, so she stepped forward boldly and said, "His Royal Highness, the two maids have done their best and never acted excessively. You don't need to punish them like this."
Xiao Linzi and several other eunuchs were stunned for a moment, but someone dared to question the prince
Qin Yi said, "They are disrespectful to you. This is enough for them to die once. I haven't added them to other accounts."
When Chu Jinyao saw that Qin Yi was really determined to send people away, Chu Jinyao was shocked by that attitude of life and death. Chu Jinyao suddenly discovered that the person standing in front of her was the crown prince. A Jinyiwei who came out of the imperial city was so domineering, let alone a crown prince who was under one person and more than ten thousand people? What is human life in his eyes
Chu Jinyao used to hear people brag about the crown prince's achievements, and everyone knew that the crown prince went deep alone and slaughtered all the men of the Tatar tribe. Chu Jinyao used to think that this kind of record was very beautiful and powerful, but to this day, Chu Jinyao couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of her heart.
It can only be said that the prince was too easy-going in front of her before, making Chu Jinyao feel that he was just a prince with a noble status and a arrogant temperament, completely ignoring the terrible power Qin Yi held in his hands.
Chu Jinyao seemed to know Qin Yi for the first time, she thought, this is the prince, this is the person she wants to marry.
Emboldened, she took a few steps towards Qin Yi, raised her head and looked at him earnestly: "Your Highness, in your eyes, perhaps the two lives are not important, but they are the nanny sent to me by the empress. Ah! If you really send them away, I will fail the empress's hard work, how will I go to see the empress in the future?"
When Qin Yi heard Chu Jinyao's words, the light in his eyes stopped. He checked his face and looked at Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinyao's eyes were bright, he looked at him for a moment, and whispered, "Your Highness!"
Qin Yi sighed imperceptibly: "Forget it, spare your life. If there is another time..."
The two aunties who were kneeling on the ground with messy hair on the temples heard that there was a turning point, and they immediately kowtowed to Qin Yi: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie, there will be no next time!"
"It's not me who you should be thanking." Qin Yi said coolly as it had nothing to do with him.
The two maids understood, immediately turned around, and kowtowed to Chu Jinyao: "Thank you, Crown Princess, thank you Crown Princess."
Chu Jinyao was suddenly kowtowed, and she couldn't help but take two steps back. She thought to herself that she was not married, so don't call her a princess. But Chu Jinyao didn't dare to say where the prince's deity was.
After Qin Yi finished speaking, he silently looked at Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi didn't move, and the others naturally didn't dare to go first. Chu Jinyao also stood in the yard for a while, blinking in confusion.
What is the prince waiting for, why don't you move
Chu Jinyao looked up at Qin Yi in amazement, stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized. She quickly squatted down and blessed everyone in the yard, and then walked out with Linglong.
Qin Yi was really convinced, he said, "Where are you going?"
Chu Jinyao stopped, stunned again, and turned her eyes to look at Linglong. Linglong quietly gestured to the main room, Chu Jinyao widened her eyes in surprise, she looked at Qin Yi, and found that the other party's demeanor did not seem to be fake, Chu Jinyao had to say "oh" in a low voice, turned her head and walked into the room .
Sure enough, after Chu Jinyao lifted the curtain and entered, Qin Yi continued to move, and the group of people behind him dared to move.
So Prince Fang was waiting for her to enter the house? As Chu Jinyao entered the house, she felt magical.
In the yard, Xiao Linzi kicked the two maids in disgust and said, "Let's go! Today, you can save your life, it's all thanks to the concubine's soft heart. You've hit the big luck, why don't you hurry up?"
The two maids woke up like a dream, and quickly got up and left. They didn't expect that they would be able to escape from the prince's hands. They are already thankful for saving their lives now. How can they dare to despise Chu Jinyao
After the mammy left, Xiao Linzi and several other eunuchs who were escorted to the throne winked. They had followed the prince for so many years, and it was the first time that they could take back the order issued by the prince.
Tang Xinyi gave Xiao Linzi a warning look, indicating that he should concentrate on errands and not think about some things.
Inside the house, Madam Chu, Chu Jinxian and others watched the farce outside. Chu Jinxian watched outside for a while, then quietly came back, and Madam Chu was already shocked enough just by relying on the maid's recitation.
The female family members in the house were all guarding the Ming room. Seeing Qin Yi coming in, they all saluted: "The minister and wife see His Royal Highness the Prince."
Today Qin Yi came to the door as Chu Jinyao's fiancé-in-law, and immediately called out the Chu family's daughter-in-law and invited Mrs. Chu to the seat.
Mrs. Chu sat down tremblingly, Marquis Changxing, Mrs. Zhao and others took their seats in turn, and Chu Jinyao stood under Chu Jinxian. After what happened just now, no one dared to mention that unmarried couples were not allowed to meet.
The girls in the Chu family all lowered their heads, clearly yearning and curious, but they didn't dare to look at Qin Yi at all. Qin Yi doesn't need to do anything, just sit here, and no one in the whole room dares to kick out loud.
This silent deterrence is really frightening and heartbreaking.
Almost the entire Chu family was in this room, and Mrs. Chu spoke with Qin Yi in fear. Qin Yi struggled patiently for a while and asked, "Old Madam, may I ask if there is a place to play chess here?"
Play chess
As soon as Chu Jinyao heard these two words, she had an ominous premonition, and Mrs. Chu was still confused and said, "Of course there is... But, what is your Highness asking about?"
Qin Yi lowered his head and drank tea slowly without answering. Dealing with the superiors is all about guessing. Combining what she heard just now, Mrs. Chu suddenly felt blessed: "I understand, I was negligent and disturbed His Highness's rest. Mammy Gu, go and clean up the Baoxia, and put the items in the warehouse. Bring out the colorful glazed flag."
Then Mrs. Chu said to Qin Yi: "I also ask your Highness to go down and take a rest for a while. I will prepare dinner for His Highness, and I will call His Highness when it is ready."
The Marquis of Changxing also understood. He glanced at Chu Jinyao, who was standing on the side like a painting, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. His father is still here, the prince is not right!
Qin Yi really got up and left. After a while, Chu Jinyao's voice came from the mouth of Xiamen: "Eunuch Lin, this is a new cake made in the kitchen. Grandma asked me to give it to His Highness."
Xiao Linzi and several other eunuchs were guarding the door. When they saw Chu Jinyao, they immediately said with a smile, "Thank you, Fifth Young Lady, please come in."
Chu Jinyao dawdled, and reluctantly moved to Qin Yi, and asked the maid behind him to put new cakes in front of Qin Yi.
"His Royal Highness, grandma asked me to bring you something."
"Yeah." Qin Yi nodded indifferently and gestured with his eyes, "Sit down."
Chu Jinyao wanted to refuse from the bottom of her heart. She saw the other side of Qin Yi as the prince today, and now she is still a little afraid, and she is even more reluctant to sit opposite Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's slender fingers sandwiched the glass chess, and he tapped the chessboard three times crisply, with a very obvious urging.
Chu Jinyao had to resign and sit down. Qin Yi gently raised his chin to her: "Pick up chess. I taught you last time, remember?"
"I… should remember."
Qin Yi was no longer polite and took the lead in playing chess. Chu Jinyao soon lost the thought of being afraid of Qin Yi, and all her attention was sucked by the chessboard.
Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's slow speed of chess moves, and then looked at her wrinkled face, and really felt that there was a long way to go. Taking a closer look, Qin Yi realized that Chu Jinyao had lost a lot of weight, her original oval face had been sharpened, and her slender chin was distressing.
Chu Jinyao didn't notice that Qin Yi was looking at her. She saw that the atmosphere was good now, and she was not as scared as before, so she gathered up her courage and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
But Qin Yi replied with a chuckle: "Don't thank me, in the future, no, you are already my wife, no one can give you grievances."
Chu Jinyao didn't expect to hear the word "wife" from Qin Yi's mouth, and was stunned for a while. Qin Yi saw her expression and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Chu Jinyao returned to her senses, and immediately lowered her head to cover it up, "Thank you, Your Highness. I just refuted your words, not because I was disrespectful to Your Highness, but because I am a bride after all, and I dare not let the Empress think that I am arrogant and dare to dismiss the Empress. people."
"You dare to refute me if you don't dare to refute the queen's face?"
"No!" Chu Jinyao raised her head in a hurry, wanting to explain to Qin Yi anxiously. However, when she raised her head, she realized that Qin Yi was smiling and admiring her flustered appearance. His eyes were filled with a smile, as bright as the stars, making people dare not look at him.
Chu Jinyao didn't realize that he was stunned for a while. The Bodhisattva was on top, and the prince's personality was not very good, but his face was really good-looking!
Chu Jinyao watched Qin Yi's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and finally couldn't help laughing: "You are so dumb."
