The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Early in the morning, the carriage of the Changxing Hou Mansion departed. Even if it was going to the palace for a banquet, it didn't make sense to disturb the old lady Lao Chu, so only the Zhao family and the Yan family went out this time, and they each brought their own daughters.

Mrs. Sanfang, as the concubine's wife, can only be left behind in this kind of scene, with the name of staying at home to serve Mrs. Chu. And there was only one daughter in the third room. This kind of situation could not be justified if the sixth girl was left behind, so Zhao replaced the third wife and took the sixth girl out to take care of one or two during the dinner.

They set off early in the morning, and arrived at Huailing Palace when the sun was shining brightly. A woman was waiting at the Chuhua Gate long ago. Seeing their carriage, a woman wearing a crow blue gown hurried down to welcome her: "Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Chu, you can count it!"

As a sister-in-law, Chu Zhu will naturally come out to welcome her maiden sister-in-law. Today she is wearing a red gown, a royal blue horse-faced skirt, and a gold silk bun on her head. She is very energetic. Chu Jinyao followed the sisters to get out of the car and stood quietly to one side, listening to the greetings between the Zhao family and the people in the palace. After a while, a small sedan chair came up and picked them up to the inner house to talk.

The headed woman who looked at her identity said: "The ancestors and the princess have long been talking about the wives of the Chu family. They are already waiting in the lobby. The wives are not in a hurry to talk about the past and go to the room."

The Zhao family naturally responded, and the Wangfu lady pointed to the small sedan chair and said, "Chuihua Gate is still a little far away from the Flower Hall. Now the sun is big and it's not easy to bask in the madam. Let's take the sedan chair."

After the Chuhua Gate, it was the boundary of the inner house. Unexpectedly, from here to the place where the princess and the old lady were, they would need to sit in a sedan chair. Chu Jinyao was a little surprised, seeing the other girls in the Chu family also had the same thoughts, but when they went out, they refused to show their timidity. They fell in the face of Changxing Hou Mansion, so they didn't show anything, and went into the sedan chair one by one.

Zhao and Yan each had a sedan chair, but the girls obviously couldn't, and they needed to sit together. Chu Jinxian is already married, and the second girl is Yan's concubine. Yan directly refused to come to the palace for a banquet, which was such a major event that the second girl needed to stay at home to embroider the dowry. So today’s juniors are the only three girls from Dafang, Chu Jinmiao, and Chu Jinyao, the seven girls from Yan’s family in the second room, and the sixth girls from the third room. Eight girls were only six years old, too young, so they were naturally excluded.

The two sit together and follow the sequence of teeth, so Chu Jinyao should go with the six girls. Chu Jinyao sat in the swaying sedan chair, sitting upright, not trying to lift the curtain to look around. She has been back to the house for half a year, and she has become accustomed to these wealthy scenes.

The space in the sedan chair is not large, and the person who lifts the sedan chair will inevitably shake when walking, so Chu Jinyao will bump into Liu Girl's knees from time to time. Six girls also sat upright, staring down silently. Today, the third lady did not come, but when everyone was chatting, she naturally skipped her mother, as if Changxing Marquis only had the two wives of Zhao and Yan. . The sixth girl sat for a while, suddenly stretched out her hand, and gently covered the back of Chu Jinyao's hand: "Fifth sister, did you forget what we said last time?"

The back of her hand was unpreparedly covered by someone, Chu Jinyao was not used to other people's contact, so she directly opened the hand of the sixth girl. Chu Jinyao endured the thought of pulling his hand out, and said flatly: "Six sisters don't think about it. We are on the sedan chair. We will stop at some point. Let's not talk for now."

This is ambiguous, neither agree nor refuse. Six girls tilted their heads and smiled at Chu Jinyao, and slowly withdrew her hand. Although she was still smiling on her face, she snorted coldly in her heart. She knew that the benefits were moving and no one could resist.

On the next road, Chu Jinyao and Miss Six did not speak any more, and they sat relatively speechless. Fortunately, the destination arrived soon, and the stout lady who carried the sedan chair put them down and shouted inside: "Girl, the flower hall is here."

Chu Jinyao and Miss Six got up, bent over and walked out of the car door. After everyone stood up, the Zhao family quickly patrolled the audience to make sure that there was nothing wrong with these girls, and then said: "Let's go, let me see the ancestors."

There were already a lot of people sitting in the flower hall of the palace. Chu Jinyao followed the Zhao family. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong warm fragrance, mixed with the different powdery scent of the ladies, and became the most recognizable among the powerful. In the sign, the three words "Fuguixiang" were written out in a flash. Both sides are full of female relatives, sitting or standing, besides the master of Huailing Palace, there are also maids who serve the old ladies, and the maids brought by the ladies and the ladies are veritable women in a house.

Chu Jinyao didn't care about who these bright colors were on both sides, and took the lead in following the Zhao family to salute the old princess. After the two parties saw the ceremony, the old princess smiled and said: "I've long been expecting you to come to see me, but unfortunately things have been delayed until now."

Zhao laughed: "We are also looking forward to seeing our ancestors, aren't we coming now?"

A woman sitting next to the old lady suddenly asked, "Are these ladies from the Hou Mansion?"

This woman was thirty-seven-eighth, with a fair and round face, and wearing a bright red pinched gold dress, she looked like a pampered lady. With gold hairpins full of dangdang gems in her head, coupled with her bright red dress, no one in the house can match the extravagance of others.

Don't do what he thinks, dare to speak like this in front of the old princess, and there is only one person dressed like this-the mistress of the Huailing Palace, the princess princess.

Chu Jinyao slowly understood at this time, no wonder that Chu Zhu, who has always been publicized, did not dare to wear a red dress on such a showy occasion today. Although she wore a red long jacket, she wore a royal blue dress underneath. She was to avoid the princess.

Chu Jinyao has a short knowledge of herself, and has never seen what a royal prince such as the princess and princess is like. When I met the princess concubine today, Chu Jinyao secretly felt that it was a little bit different from what she had imagined, but thought it should be so expensive.

No one dared to neglect the princess's words, Zhao responded quickly: "It's them." Then they called out their names one by one, asking them to come up to the princess concubine, and let the princess princess recognize her face by the way.

As for why it is necessary to recognize the face, everyone knows the reason for this. The princess looked at them one by one and said with a smile: "They are all good girls. This is my meeting gift, to please the girls."

The maid stepped forward and handed the purse one by one to Chu Jinyao and the others. After Chu Jinyao took it, she squeezed it, and then she passed it to the maid behind her without any fluctuations.

It can only be said that life's encounters are so wonderful. With Chu Jinyao's current wealth, she still doesn't care about this meeting ceremony.

The old princess smiled and watched the princess princess recognize people. After the girls had all met, the old princess' eyes passed from everyone and suddenly stopped at Chu Jinyao: "This is the fifth girl in the house?"

The question of the old princess made everyone feel terrified, and Chu Jinyao also tightened his back, and stepped forward to give the old princess a blessing: "It's the junior. The juniors send greetings to the ancestors."

The old princess looked at Chu Jinyao, nodded and smiled: "Good boy, not only does he look good, but he also has a good personality."

Everyone was tacitly aware of their intentions this time, but the old princess called Chu Jinyao out for inquiries alone, and she did not hesitate to praise. For a time, many eyes fell on Chu Jinyao, both overtly and secretly. Chu Jinyao still looked calm and unhurried at the many inquiring gazes.

Even if the princess of the county met with some accidents, didn't Deng said that the five girls in the Changxing Houfu did not grow up in front of the elders. They have been living in the public since they were young, and have only just been found back this year? In fact, the princess of the county noticed Chu Jinyao as soon as she entered the door. The appearance of this girl was really eye-catching. The princess of the county almost confirmed Chu Jinyao's identity when she saw her at the first glance.

However, the daughter of the Hou Mansion, who is not worthy of his name, did not flinch in panic when he entered the living room of the mansion filled with gold and jade, and did not play with curiosity when he sent the meeting ceremony. Even now he was called out alone, and he was not flattered or proud. The look, as if used to seeing wealth and honor. Had it not been for the princess of the county who had learned the truth in advance, and seeing this scene, she might have thought that she was a daughter of a courtesan who had been spoiled and raised.

In addition to the accident, the princess's impression of Chu Jinyao has also changed a lot. The princess of the county smiled and said: "Mrs. Changxing Hou is really lucky. The eldest girl from the Chu family is so wise. I didn't expect the second daughter to be equally provocative, which is really enviable. How can I be like me, having two friends on the net."

The county lord Lin Baozhu was originally sitting bored, and she was used to it from time to time that people in the palace paid such ceremonious visits. However, when she heard the words of the princess, she immediately pouted unconvincedly: "Mother, I'm unconvinced when you say this. Why am I an enemy?"

The princess princess pointed to the county lord and said, "Look, you dare to talk back to me and say you are not an enemy!" However, despite saying this, the princess did not have much anger in her tone.

The county lord turned his head to find the old princess to reason. The old lady laughed and said: "Your mother, she is deliberately embarrassing you! You are the jewel in the palm of our palace. It's too late for us to love you. How can anyone dare to provoke you? "

The county owner was only satisfied, but Lin Baohuan, Chu Zhu's pro-daughter daughter, who was in the Chu family, could only sit beside her as a foil on such occasions. Even Chu Zhu could only stand on one side and laugh.

Seeing the treatment of the county lord, Chu Jinyao thought that she was the emperor and charming girl. Is it really a good thing to be a companion to such a young lady? However, Chu Jinyao remembered Mrs. Chu's instructions before leaving, and sighed inwardly.

If the family has made a decision, it doesn't matter whether Chu Jinyao is willing or not, whether it is a good thing or not. What's more, Chu Jinyao knows more. If Mrs. Chu really wants to push Chu Jinyao out to be her concubine, then the palace of Huailing County, she will not only have to stay in peace, but also let the people of the palace stay with her. To make a good impression, the attitude of the county owner is particularly important.

If you ask Chu Jinyao if she likes her son, Chu Jinyao's answer is no, if you ask her if she wants to give up the old lady's plan, Chu Jinyao's answer is still no. In this life, a woman cannot be born or married, and the honor and disgrace of her life are tied to others. It is the father before marriage, and the husband after marriage, competing for the favor of the husband-in-law and suppressing the favored concubine. This is the main theme of most women in the second half of their lives. Chu Jinyao was unable to change her own destiny. All she could do was to make herself go as high as possible during the second reincarnation.

As for love... it doesn't matter. Although she has no love between men and women for the son, this does not prevent her from obeying the family's will and becoming the son's true wife. Otherwise, what can she do?

Qi Ze's face quickly appeared in front of Chu Jinyao's eyes, but was quickly suppressed by her. Qi Ze has already left. Even if they don't leave, they won't have anything. Since then, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. Zize is a short and happy glimpse of her girlhood. From then on, this secret will be buried in my heart forever, no one knows except herself.

Unconsciously, Chu Jinyao fell into sorrow again. Fortunately, her etiquette skills were not in vain. Even though she was wandering, her face still maintained a standard gentle smile. The old lady sat up and looked at it, very satisfied.

I have to say that the old man likes Chu Jinyao, who is very sweet at first glance. The old princess really can't appreciate the weak Liu Fufeng and the pity I see.

There are obviously five girls on the trip, but now Chu Jinyao alone is in the limelight. Chu Jinmiao secretly clenched a fist and cast his help-seeking gaze to Chu Zhu who was aside.

Chu Zhu shook his head while everyone was not paying attention, and signaled Chu Jinmiao to be safe.

The old princess took Chu Jinyao and asked everything she wanted to ask before she noticed the girls behind. It is very rude to leave guests alone. The old lady smiled unchanged, remembering the rumors of changing her daughter, so she asked: "Which is the fourth girl?"

Chu Jinmiao was overjoyed. She never expected the turnaround to come so quickly. She stepped forward and said shyly, "It's me."

The princess of the county was also interested. She asked: "I heard Grandma Deng say that there is a girl in the Changxing Houfu who is very talented. Is it you?"

Chu Jinmiao lowered his head to be modest: "It's the mother who praised her absurdly." But there was no denying in the words, she obviously admitted that she was the most talented girl in the Hou Mansion.

The princess of the county smiled and asked a few words, and found that Chu Jinmiao really had a good answer, so he smiled with the old princess: "Mother, look at the girls of the Chu family, she is really well-informed and knowledgeable. If Pearl has half of their peace of mind, I I'm content."

This remark naturally made the county host unhappy, Chu Jinyao kept smiling and listened to these people in the upper ranks. After a while, the elders seemed to have something to say, so they sent some of the younger generations to say, "We will pass the meal in a while, and you little girls will go out and have a fun by yourself, and call you when the meal is set. ."

Who dares not follow the words of the old princess. Even the county lord stood up, saluted everyone impatiently, and then came out first. After the county owner left, other talents dared to leave.

As soon as she left the house of the old princess, the county owner was naturally the head of the girl. The county host led them to a small flower gallery. Through the window, you could see the flowers blooming outside the house. The county host was impatient to talk about the scene. Before everyone could sit down, she ran to Chu Jinyao with her eyes With arrogant innocence, she slightly raised her head and asked: "Are you the Miss Hou Mansion who was hugged by mistake?"
