The Great Ceremony of the Yuan Ri is a heavy gift. After the ceremony, the wives did not leave the palace immediately, but had to have lunch in the palace before leaving. These ladies have different identities and temperaments, but at the moment they are all standing in the hall with trepidation, carefully communicating with others, only a small number of decent people can be called by the queen to the warm pavilion to speak.
The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Zhenbei were royal relatives, and they were quickly led to the inner hall in the eyes of everyone's envy. However, this year, there was one more target that everyone envied, and it was the newly-appointed Marquis of Changxing.
Old Madam Chu followed the female official in tremblingly. As soon as she entered the warm pavilion, she did not dare to lift the corner of her eyes, so she immediately knelt down and gave a big salute: "The court lady sees the empress."
"It turned out to be the old lady of the Hou family of Changxing." Xiao Qi looked down at the back, glanced at the serious old lady Chu, and the Zhao family who kept her head down and hardly dared to breathe, she smiled in her heart. With a sound, he said slowly: "No gift."
Mrs. Zhao quickly helped Madam Chu to get up. Mrs. Chu is very old, she got up early in the morning and struggled in the cold wind for so long, her body couldn't stand it. However, Mrs. Chu was tough and ruthless all her life, especially she refused to show weakness in front of her daughter-in-law. As soon as she stood up straight, she turned around to salute Chu Jinyao: "Prince Concubine."
Before Madam Chu knelt down, Chu Jinyao hurriedly asked the female official to support Madam Chu. She gave Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Zhao a family ceremony: "Grandmother, mother."
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Chu naturally turned to avoid them. Xiao Qi sat at the top and watched it for a while, then said with a smile, "Prince Concubine and her maiden family have such a good relationship."
Princess Rong'an, who was sitting next to her, said, "Isn't it true, the Crown Princess is dignified and polite, which is really a blessing to my dynasty."
"The maiden and the eldest princess are wrong." Chu Jinyao said modestly.
"It's still called the eldest princess!" Princess Rong'an said with a hearty smile, "I thought I could get an aunt with the crown princess. I already prepared the New Year's money, but I didn't expect to send it out."
After Princess Rongan said this, everyone laughed, and Chu Jinyao also stood up and gave Princess Rongan a junior salute in a joke: "Since Aunt Rongan said this, then I'm welcome. "
Fuqing County Master and several princesses are of high rank, and they are all sitting here at the moment. After hearing this, Fuqing County Master smiled and said: "Auntie is partial, and she only thinks about the Crown Princess when she has New Year's money. I don't know if we have any? "
Princess Rongan responded with a big laugh, and Xiao Qi pointed at Fuqing County Master's forehead with anger: "You, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, know how to play tricks!"
The royal family members above laughed together, Madam Chu didn't dare to talk to her, she only dared to laugh along. Mrs. Chu boasted that she had experienced great storms in her whole life. She had no favor after marriage, her husband favored her concubine and destroyed her wife. As much bitterness as tasted sweetness. For this reason, Mrs. Chu still had weak legs when she saw the queen, but Chu Jinyao dared to joke with these princesses and concubines. She stayed in that environment relaxed and natural, as if everything was normal.
At this moment, Mrs. Chu intuitively realized that Chu Jinyao was completely different from the cowardly little girl who had just returned to the Hou Mansion. While they were looking up at the top circle, Chu Jinyao also became a member of this circle.
Both Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Zhao felt a little embarrassed, and they didn't know how to speak or move in this environment. Fortunately, it is a blessing to speak less in the palace, and it is best to listen quietly like this.
After talking to everyone, Xiao Qi said about Zhao Lanhui's body for some reason: "I don't know why these days, this palace always feels deserted, and I can't wait for more children to dangle in front of my eyes. After a few days, the palace lights up, Rong An might as well. Let Erniang come in and gather their children together, it will be lively and lively."
The "Second Mother" in Xiao Qihou's mouth is Zhao Lanhui, and Zhao Lanhui is in the middle of Wei Guogong's mansion. After hearing Xiao Qi, Princess Rong An said that the child was nervous at first. She also heard that a pregnant maid suddenly appeared in the palace. After listening to Xiao Qi, it was his daughter Zhao Lanhui, which was a bit surprising.
Princess Rong An tentatively said: "It is obviously a blessing for her to be able to come to the palace to speak with the empress, but she is afraid that she will be too noisy and disturb the empress."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Qi patted Princess Rong'an's hand pointedly, "I wish Erniang would stay and make the palace more angry."
Chu Jinyao sat on the side with a smile. When she heard this, her smile remained unchanged, and deep meaning flashed in her eyes.
Last night was to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Of course, the emperor wanted to stay here in the main palace, Queen Qi. It seems that last night, the emperor had already talked to Queen Qi about the second prince and concubine.
Does the emperor actually like Zhao Lanhui? Zhao Lanhui is the only daughter of Princess Rong'an, and of course it is a good story to marry back to the royal family, not to mention that behind Zhao Lanhui there is the Duke of Wei's mansion. I just don't know if this is the meaning of the emperor or the meaning of the second prince.
Either way, the relationship behind this is difficult. If the second prince took the initiative to ask the emperor, then his ambition to find himself such a strong wife from a family is not small. If this is the emperor's choice, then the emperor's expansion of the power of the second prince is not good for the East Palace.
Thinking of this, Chu Jinyao wanted to hurry back and tell Qin Yi. Although Qin Yi probably already knew about it, it seemed that once he told him, no matter how big the problem was, it was nothing.
Chu Jinyao's thoughts were like electricity, and Princess Rongan thought a lot in an instant. Listening to the Queen's words, it seems that she wants to keep Zhao Lanhui in the palace. To be able to marry the royal family again, Princess Rongan is of course willing, but is it the second prince or the third prince
Don't look at the difference between the two princes, but the meaning of this is too much. The third prince is the direct prince, although it is disrespectful to think so, but if the prince has an accident, the third prince has the best chance of winning the great treasure.
As for the second prince, he is the son of a palace servant. Although there is Concubine Shu in the name of adoptive mother, Concubine Shu is still a concubine! In the eyes of the orthodox Princess Rong'an, a concubine is not a noble concubine, so what is it
Princess Rongan said more and more cautiously: "It is her blessing that she can be in the eyes of the goddess. As a mother, I can only be happy. If she can always accompany the goddess in Kunning Palace, and relieve the goddess, it will be a real blessing. Good luck at home."
Princess Rong'an's words are very meaningful. Her first sentence agreed to Xiao Qi's temptation. If she can enter the palace as a concubine, her mother is of course willing. The latter sentence specifically said Kunning Palace, daughter-in-law needs to set rules, so that she can always be with the queen, Princess Rongan is testing Xiaoqi, whether to say kiss to the third prince.
Chu Jinyao sat aside, sighing in her heart, these people who have been in the palace all year round are different, just one sentence implies the world, and the doorway is one set after another. It's just that Princess Rong'an was disappointed, saying that she was not kissing the third prince from Empress Qi, but the second prince who didn't make a dent.
Sure enough, Queen Qi said: "Young girls are like green and green. If you keep the pestle here in Bengong all the time, you won't be suffocated? Your mother is willing, and Bengong is reluctant."
Princess Rongan smiled and said that she was right, but she felt a little regretful that she was not the third prince, which is a pity.
The wives of the Marquis of Zhenbei were sitting aside, and when they heard that Zhao Lanhui was chosen as the imperial concubine, they couldn't sit still at home. Madam Qi winked at Queen Qi, who also needed to whisper to her parents, so she said, "Since the princess entered the palace, she hasn't met her family properly! It's not easy for the old lady to enter the palace. This palace will not delay the reunion of your grandparents and grandchildren, you can go out and talk about your own words."
This is chasing people, obviously for their own sake, but to use the name of Chu Jinyao to show the benevolence of Xiao Qi. Chu Jinyao stood up and replied, "Thank you, Empress."
Others also praised the Queen's kindness and her mother-in-law style. After that, Chu Jinmiao walked out of Kunning Palace, and didn't listen to the next words.
Chu Jinyao took the people from Marquis Changxing back to Ciqing Palace, and asked Linglong and others to show Mrs. Chu a seat. Only people with official orders can enter the palace, so only Madam Chu and Mrs. Zhao came in. Madam Chu looked at the rich and noble decorations around her, and then looked at Chu Jinyao's commanding demeanor, and said from her heart: "Look Come here, the Crown Princess is doing well in the palace, so the old body will be at ease."
How are you doing in the palace? Chu Jinyao refused to accept it, but said, "His Royal Highness acts justly, which is naturally good."
Chu Jinyao only talked about the prince and not the queen, and Mrs. Chu quickly understood. But Mrs. Chu still felt that Chu Jinyao was reincarnated, and it was a stroke of luck for a bride to be treated well by her husband who was not subject to her mother-in-law. Besides, being angry with the queen, can this be called being angry? This is a blessing, a blessing that no one can ask for.
If it was an ordinary family, whoever sent her daughter to the palace would feel so distressed that she couldn't sleep, but Old Madam Chu only saw the benefit behind it. Chu Jinyao didn't expect that his so-called relatives could really consider for him, as long as the Changxing Hou Mansion didn't cause trouble, it was enough.
Madam Chu inspected the decorations of the East Palace, and her eyes flashed with satisfaction. She leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Princess, a month has passed, are you pregnant?"
Today, many people think that they are looking at Chu Jinyao's stomach in a veiled way, and now her own grandmother is also asking the same question, Chu Jinyao really doesn't know whether to be annoyed or ashamed, she is a little embarrassed, and her face can't help turning red: Never."
Not pregnant yet... Madam Chu was a little disappointed. She asked, "Prince Concubine, has His Royal Highness been staying in your house these few days?"
Chu Jinyao suddenly flashed the events of last night in front of her eyes. In fact, she still has some backache until now. However, this is the private matter of their husband and wife. Being inquired like this, Chu Jinyao is embarrassed, but also a little uncomfortable: "His Royal Highness is very polite, and it is important to save it." Moreover, Chu Jinyao silently added in his heart, what? Call her house, this is clearly the house of the two of them.
Prince Mingli is serious? Old Madam Chu almost doubted whether she and Chu Jinyao were seeing the same person. However, since Chu Jinyao said this, at least it means that the prince is willing to give Chu Jinyao the honor of the main room, which is enough. However, Chu Jinyao actually said that the prince is dignified. Could it be that the prince and Chu Jinyao are not close in private, but the husband and wife respect each other like guests
Zhao Shi was a little worried, this is not a good sign. Chu Jinyao didn't know that she habitually gave money to Qin Yi, but it caused such a big misunderstanding between Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Zhao. Chu Jinyao sat down with them for a while, then let Madam Chu rest in the palace, and returned to Kunning Palace as soon as possible. She is the Crown Princess. She wants to see many people today, so she can't be absent for too long.
In Kunning Palace, Queen Qi and Zhenbei Houfu also had some private conversations. Just looking at the old lady's face, this conversation was not pleasant. The Marquis of Zhenbei had tasted the benefits of the foreign relatives, and was determined to have another imperial concubine in her own family. At first, Mrs. Qi was staring at the position of the crown princess, but after Xiao Qi was not happy, Qin Yi would not agree, and could only Watching the opportunity fall by the wayside. Now that the crown princess is already yellow, the Zhenbei Houfu will start thinking about the third prince.
Although the third prince was only fifteen years old this year, it was still a little early to choose a concubine, and Qi Rong was even one year older than the third prince. But marrying a wife is a great blessing, the Qi family doesn't think it's anything, but thinks that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, wouldn't it be good to have more kisses
But Queen Qi didn't respond. She didn't think her niece was bad, but she thought her son should have a better one.
Out of some unspeakable mind, Xiao Qi wanted to find a wife who would help the third prince more. The second prince has already chosen Zhao Lanhui, and she has to plan for her son early. For example, the granddaughter of Fan Shoufu's family is not bad.
Xiao Qi didn't agree to her mother's proposal to increase her relatives by kissing her, but she didn't reject it either, and just hung it ambiguously. Of course, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zhenbeihou were not satisfied with the result, and the two parties broke up.
This year, many people are worried on the first day of the year. In the past few years, the movements in the palace have become more and more treacherous. First, a palace maid concealed the eyes of everyone and secretly became pregnant. one. Before people outside could sort out the clues, another news quietly spread.
The second young lady of the Duke of Wei's mansion, the only daughter of Princess Rong'an, seems to be the second princess.
The old foxes who have been in the power field for a long time smelled an unusual breath. The emperor agreed to find a powerful wife for the second prince, but he didn't know what to do. The world has been at peace for a long time, and it seems that this surface calm will not last long.
After Chu Jinyao came back from Kunning Palace, she was already exhausted. Even so, she immediately told Qin Yi about the Duke of Wei's mansion. She worried for the whole day, but Qin Yi listened calmly: "I know." He looked at Chu Jinyao and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, are you scared?"
"Of course not." Chu Jinyao felt that she was being looked down upon, and gave Qin Yi a disapproving look. After a while, she was still defeated by her worries: "Your Highness, is it really okay? Is the emperor..."
Qin Yi blocked Chu Jinyao's mouth with one finger, raised his eyebrows and said, "Be careful."
"I know." Chu Jinyao didn't intend to say it at first, just mentioning the emperor was enough to understand. It stands to reason that Qin Yi must have been prepared long ago for being so calm. However, it was the first time that Chu Jinyao really participated in this kind of power struggle, and she was a little flustered when she started to fight for imperial power. At this time, only Qin Yi next to her can give her a sense of security, Chu Jinyao took the initiative to sit beside Qin Yi, leaned on Qin Yi's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, you will always be there, right? ?"
Qin Yi's heart softened unconsciously. He has always known that he is not alone, and that he bears the hopes of many people, even his life. However, this was the first time he intuitively felt that he was needed. Qin Yi stretched out his hand and embraced Chu Jinyao's shoulder, with a slight force in his hand: "Of course. You don't have to worry, there is me."
This "I'm here" is neither loud nor majestic, but somehow makes people feel safe. Chu Jinyao nodded vigorously, and also held Qin Yi's hand tightly, trying to convey her feelings: "I will always be by His Highness's side. Wherever you are, I will be there."
Such charming love words are really good, and they can confuse people's minds more than the most poisonous poison. When Qin Yi first listened to it, he subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but after listening to it many times, he gradually became addicted. I have to say that people are greedy and ignorant animals. I never felt that when I was alone before, once I got warmth, I didn’t want to let go after I grabbed it, and I would greedily want more, even if I was in front of me. The abyss doesn't even care. Qin Yi felt that he was now on the verge of such danger. The heirs who had penetrated deep into the bone educated him to get out quickly, but the greed in his heart told him to indulge for a while.
Qin Yi finally held Chu Jinyao's hand, his voice was low and charming: "Okay, this is what you said."

The protagonist: Qin Yi, a typical patient with avoidant disorder in intimate relationships.
Condition analysis: I am not used to expressing love since I was a child (it may also be no love), so I never want to talk properly when I grow up.

The best way to deal with this kind of patient is desensitization therapy, you will get used to it after listening to it a lot. If there are other complications, such as addiction, etc. during the treatment, then discuss it again.
Remarks: A genius doctor who did not want to be named reminded them that they are just talking nonsense. If there is a medical accident, the genius doctor alliance will not be responsible.
