Only then did Chu Jinyao realize that she was looking at the prince in a daze! Chu Jinyao bowed her head in shame, her face almost red to the bottom of her ears.
It's so embarrassing, how could he be bewitched by beauty and even stared at the deity because he looks like Zize!
Qin Yi was not in a good mood because of the events in the capital during this time. Especially when he just got offended and was blocked by Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi was in a bad mood at first, but when he saw Chu Jinyao, he suddenly got better.
Qin Yi thought silently, maybe, bullying Chu Jinyao is really pleasant.
Qin Yi became more and more calm, and suddenly felt that the affairs of the capital and the cabinet were nothing. Maybe he should urge Qin Tianjian to set the date of marriage earlier, and Chu Jinyao should keep this kind of happy fruit by his side, after all, there are so many troubles in the court and the palace.
Chu Jinyao was embarrassed and embarrassed, especially when she found that the prince's mood was obviously improved. Qin Yi's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he seemed to be in a good mood at first sight.
Chu Jinyao stared angrily for a while, then gave up. Forget it, the prince is the foundation of the country, the future prince, the hope of the people all over the world, can make the hope of the empire smile, and she will be made fun of when she is made fun of.
The two played chess for each other, and the atmosphere in the holding mansion gradually became warmer, and the percussion sound of the glazed chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to bring the good taste of the years. Unconsciously, Chu Jinyao felt that the prince opposite seemed to be no longer so far away, and she also had the intention to ask a question she had been curious about for a long time: "His Royal Highness, why did you choose me as the prince concubine? There are so many even Taiyuan in Beijing. Ladies and gentlemen, why me? Although I am a Houmen girl, my family background is not superior, not to mention that I grew up outside. My family background is not as good as many noble girls, my brain is not considered to be extremely intelligent, and my temperament is not considered to be of high quality or blue heart. , although the appearance is okay, but it is not stunning... Hey, what are you laughing at, Your Highness!"
Qin Yi held back his laughter and asked her deliberately, "Do you repeat what you said about your appearance just now?"
Chu Jinyao was annoyed, raised her head and stared at Qin Yi forcefully. Qin Yi accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "You also said that your family background is not very prominent, but is there anyone more prominent than me in the world? Of course not, so why should I consider my wife's background? You Saying that you are not extremely intelligent... It's true." Qin Yi saw Chu Jinyao's eyes widen again, like a hamster, puffed up, not to mention being more likable, Qin Yi admired it for a while, Then he continued, "Although it's not the smartest, but it's not stupid, it won't hold you back, that's enough, after all, I don't expect you to take the champion exam. Temperament is not a problem, I feel comfortable enough. Yes. Now, where are you talking about, what's the next one..."
Qin Yi pretended to be thinking, Chu Jinyao couldn't help but stretched out his hand over the chessboard and pressed Qin Yi's arm: "Your Highness, don't make fun of me."
Only when her hand touched Qin Yi's sleeve did she realize what she had done. She started with a soft and smooth brocade, which was very expensive just by touching it, and she could feel that Qin Yi was slender and strong under the fabric with a little force. arm. Qin Yi looked at Qi Chang, but he didn't expect his arms to be so strong and obviously muscular...
Chu Jinyao rubbed her hand back, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't speak easily: "His Royal Highness...I, I...I am not..."
Qin Yi didn't seem to care. As early as when he was still Qi Ze, Chu Jinyao had a lot of hands and feet. Seeing that Chu Jinyao's blushing was about to drip, Qin Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Actually, you don't have to live like this, you will become my crown princess soon. Outsiders treat me as a prince, but you don't."
Chu Jinyao nodded blankly, but she didn't actually hear what Qin Yi said. After a while, Chu Jinyao felt the heat on her cheeks a little better, and then said: "Your Highness, thank you. You saved me from the embarrassment of the marriage, and now you are kind enough to comfort me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know me. what to do..."
Qin Yi hurriedly tapped the chessboard with his chess pieces, and said in a displeased tone, "I'm still here, how dare you ask other men in front of me?"
"… That was not what I meant."
"What, do you still think that's what you mean?"
Chu Jinyao deeply felt that the prince was unreasonable. In fact, she originally planned to ask what the prince said to Lin Xiyuan alone after seeing her having a conversation with Lin Xiyuan in the prefect's mansion... But now it seems , Chu Jinyao felt that it was best for her not to ask, so she changed the subject wisely: "His Royal Highness, you are so kind and virtuous, I can't repay you, I will wait in the future... Well, after getting married, I will definitely repay you."
Chu Jinyao thought enthusiastically, although the prince is a very complicated person and can no longer be judged by good and bad, good and evil, but in her name, the prince has already managed enough justice. She was riddled with rumors at the time, and because of the affairs of the Huailing County Prince's Mansion, she could hardly talk about her relatives. It was the Crown Prince who pulled her in the crisis and gave her the position of Concubine. Now she is being sparred by two nanny, who is also the Crown Prince. Stand up for her. Chu Jinyao feels that no matter what others say about the prince, she must be very good to the prince. She will kiss whoever the prince wants to take as his concubine, and she will give the best treatment to whoever the prince loves... In short, she must do her best. Do your best to repay the prince's kindness.
Chu Jinyao was full of enthusiasm, but Qin Yi didn't know what Chu Jinyao was thinking, and he himself didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing what Chu Jinyao said that he wanted to "repay", Qin Yi dodged his eyes for a moment, clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then turned his eyes for no reason. Even so, his eyes were surprisingly bright.
Neither of the two were embarrassed to say what was in their hearts, but they were unexpectedly harmonious. After a while, Qin Yixu felt that he had to give Chu Jinyao a response, so he said: "Repay, let's talk slowly after marriage. Chu Jinyao, my wife is different from ordinary people, like your mother. , sisters are different. Ordinary couples worry about their career and career, and I need to consider a lot at the same time. Because of my status, you not only need to be my wife, but also play the role of the prince. Just like today's two maids Mammy, they're not the first, and they won't be the last, you know?"
Chu Jinyao's expression became serious, she knew that this was the prince's instructions, so she boldly looked directly at Qin Yi, nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will learn slowly and become a qualified concubine as soon as possible, no Disappointing His Highness."
"You don't have to wait to learn it later, you can actually do it now." Qin Yi smiled pointedly, "You know, when I came today, I met several groups of people in the corridor, delivering things and getting lost. , do anything."
Chu Jinyao was startled: "They actually..." Chu Jinyao was about to stand up immediately to apologize, Qin Yi stretched out his hand and pressed Chu Jinyao with a little force: "I didn't say you, why do you want to apologize. I and you Saying these things is not against you or the Chu family's style, because I am really used to these things. If it is women from other families, I will let them drive them away, but Changxing Hou's mansion is different. When they do this, they don't look down on you, the princess. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Chu Jinyao said in a low voice.
"I can't do this kind of thing, so I have to rely on you. You have to remember that you are the Crown Princess, my wife of Qin Yi, and there is no big or small in front of the royal family. When everyone in the Chu family sees you, they will show the courtesy of the monarch and minister first. Then we talk about kinship. I can't stay by your side all the time to help you, so this time it's up to you."
It was the first time that Chu Jinyao had been taught so earnestly since he grew up. Even if the Su family's parents didn't talk about it, after returning to the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, the Marquis of Changxing didn't care about the backyard at all. The Zhao family couldn't let go of Chu Jinmiao, and the old lady of Chu was aloof, only weighing the interests, and would not teach her these things sincerely. Only Chu Jinxian was worried about Chu Jinyao's future life, but when Chu Jinxian taught her, she also gave Chu Jinyao the ready-made truth. In a trance, Chu Jinyao seemed to go back to the past. At that time, Qi Ze taught her to write.
Chu Jinyao suddenly felt moved, in addition to being grateful to the prince for his willingness to teach her, he was also grateful to the prince for his trust. The prince was right. The third girl secretly wanted to borrow her Dongfeng to fly into the East Palace. Although the girls in the other rooms didn't say anything, they quietly tested it when the prince came to the door. As for Mrs. Chu, she completely let it go. I am afraid that Mrs. Chu also thinks that it is not safe for a girl to go in. If she can accompany another one in, she will have more hope of being favored, which will be better for Hou Mansion.
They did this, and to put it bluntly, they did not take Chu Jinyao seriously. They want to take advantage of her, but they are not afraid of her. Is this the way a crown princess should be treated
Qin Yi's eyes showed admiration: "I'll leave a few people for you. If you're not good at it, push me all over the head."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Jinyao thanked him sincerely, and then said, "But, I am not doing well on my own, and I am very sorry for disturbing Your Highness. How can I accept His Highness's people?"
Qin Yi seemed to ignore it completely: "I'll call them in later and kowtow to you."
"Your Highness!"
Qin Yi turned to look at Chu Jinyao, but only for a moment before Chu Jinyao persuaded: "Okay."
Qin Yi smiled, as if he wanted to reach out and rub Chu Jinyao's hair, but in the end he held back. He lowered his hands restrainedly and said, "You don't have to be nervous, just like you did well today."
Chu Jinyao was startled and lost his voice: "Your Highness..."
"It's okay." Qin Yi stopped Chu Jinyao with a smile, his eyes were tolerant and bright, almost glowing, "You know how to use strength and leverage, it's good." Even if the person who used it was him .
Someone called Qin Yi in a low voice outside, Qin Yi stood up and walked out. Before he went out, Chu Jinyao couldn't help but chased two steps and asked, "His Royal Highness, I still don't understand the first question."
"There are so many ladies in the city, and the smart, beautiful, and capable ones are innumerable, why is it me?"
Yeah, why is it her
Qin Yi stopped, and instead of using those high-sounding reasons, he lightly tapped Chu Jinyao's forehead: "You think to yourself, what am I doing."
