The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Since ancient times, all emperors have been fortunate, the most ruthless emperor.

Qin Yi thought about her own affairs, but Chu Jinyao knew nothing. She didn't know what Qin Yi was worried about. She saw Changxing Hou, but she was surprised for a moment, and the next moment she cleaned up her expression, respectfully saluting Changxing Hou: "I have seen my father."

Changxing Hou was obviously surprised when he saw Chu Jinyao. Didn't see him for a month, what happened to Chu Jinyao?

Changxing Hou looked at Chu Jinyao carefully, and finally smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, it's a lot more rounded, and it's not as thin as before. Very good."

Chu Jinyao's biggest regret now is that it is still a bit dark. As her body gradually recovered, Chu Jinyao was no longer thin and thin, and her true appearance was also revealed step by step. After all, she is the daughter of Changxinghou and Zhao. She was a nobleman in the era, and her foundation must be good. However, Chu Jinyao was even more beautiful than his compatriots and sisters, that is, Chu Jinxian. Her eyes are very long, round and round, but the corners of her eyes are slightly hooked. The shape is very beautiful. The eyes are extremely dark and smooth. When they are not smiling, they shine brightly. When they laugh, it seems that there are thousands of stars falling into the eyes. Expose to people's hearts. Chu Jinyao is no more than thirteen this year, and it will be more amazing when she grows a little longer, by the way.

Changxing Hou nodded secretly. He put down the tea cup in his hand and said to Zhao who was sitting aside: "You have raised her very well, her manners are especially good, you are paying attention."

Zhao's smile suddenly became a little stiff. Zhao had packed up early today. She was dressed up and dressed very brightly. But Changxing Hou didn't pay attention to her thoughts, and instead kept drinking tea without salty, Zhao's heart was inevitably discouraged. But the Zhao family didn't expect that when Chu Jinyao came, Changxing Hou Haosheng would look at it. Zhao's rare praise, it turned out to be because of Chu Jinyao.

Chu Jinyao was flattered when she heard it. After Qin Yi gave her instructions, she hid in the house and practiced until Qin Yi was satisfied. Chu Jinyao thought this was the standard of the family, but in fact, it contained a lot of personal preferences.

Changxing Hou felt that Chu Jinyao raised his neck when he bowed and walked, and he did not evasively speak. Although it is suspected of not being chaste and weak, she is more than an ordinary woman with her head lowered when she speaks, her head is lowered when she walks, and her head is also bowed in salute. To be more pleasing to the eye. If it is a concubine maid, Chang Xinghou likes a shy and submissive woman with a low posture, but when replaced by his concubine daughter, he likes a girl who is bright and magnificent and can do everything with her head upright. Chu Jinyao has done very well. Great. Chu Jinxian was taught by the old lady. Although the rules are good, Changxing Hou feels that the eldest daughter is too quiet and dignified, while Chu Jinmiao is cold and bitter, and the sleeves on her body are floating back and forth when walking, although there is a weak Liu Fufengzhi Zi, Changxinghou feels unhealthy no matter how she looks.

For women and for daughters, everyone has two sets of standards.

The three sisters were all there, but they praised Chu Jinyao alone, and Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinmiao couldn't help being a little bit troubled. Chu Jinyao was praised without any arrogance, she did not take a seat, but walked to Chu Jinxian to ask for peace: "Elder sister."

Chu Jinxian nodded. She is the eldest daughter. How could she care about such trivial matters? She said, "I can see that you have worked hard recently. This is great. You just came back, don’t worry, just learn slowly, don’t let down Father’s expectations."

"Sister Xie."

Chu Jinyao again greeted Chu Jinmiao. In fact, their identities are a bit embarrassing. Although Chu Jinmiao ranks higher than Chu Jinyao, she is actually not Chu Jinyao's sister. Chu Jinyao gave Chu Jinmiao a face in front of so many people, and Chu Jinmiao reluctantly stood up and responded with the courtesy of his peers.

When Changxing Hou saw his prostitutes asking each other, he was extremely proud of him. He nodded to Chu Jinxian with satisfaction: "Xian'er has become more like a eldest sister, so that when he arrives at his husband's house, he will not worry about you as a father. ."

Chu Jinxian was seventeen this year. She had married her cousin as early as thirteen years old, and will soon be out of the cabinet. Chu Jinxian heard Chang Xinghou's words and stood up and said, "Thank you, father."

Chu Jinmiao's face is not very good, what does it mean? First, he praised Chu Jinyao for being polite, and then he praised Chu Jinxian for Wenyi, meaning that these sisters are friendly and affectionate, but she is completely an outsider? She is not her biological daughter, so she wouldn't even say a good thing?

Zhao also felt wrong, seeing Chu Jinmiao's expression embarrassed, she put her hand on the back of Chu Jinmiao's hand in distress.

No one noticed the movements of Zhao's mother and daughter, because the concubine and aunts came in. A group of people crowded the second room. Because Changxing Hou was here, several young masters also came. They used to stagger the time with the girls to ask for peace. Now that there is Changxinghou, they don't have to avoid it.

Changxing Hou looked at the full house of wives, concubines and children with satisfaction. He stood up and said, "Let's go, let's eat."

There is no need to greet Mrs. Chu today, so there is no need to worry about eating. Besides, it is only their own family members who have much less emphasis on the dinner table, and there is no need to avoid eating and talking. The second young master lost his appetite after a few chopsticks. He asked Changxinghou: "Father, I rarely saw you a few days ago. What are you doing?"

Hearing the second young master's question, many people stopped their chopsticks and looked at Changxinghou. It seems that since Chu Jinyao came back, Changxinghou was suddenly very busy, so busy that he hadn't even visited the back house several times. The wife of the Zhao family, the two aunts of Huang and Furong, all wanted to know what was going on.

Changxing Hou sighed: "It's not because of His Royal Highness."

His Royal Highness? People in the Chu family were a little surprised, and Zhao asked, "That's a good idea, why are you getting involved with His Royal Highness?"

The secret secret of the palace last summer, although it was said that it was a private matter and could not be arranged, in fact, the officials of all provinces basically knew it. However, Shanxi knows more about it because of its geographical advantage.

This was at home, surrounded by wives, concubines, and children. Changxing Hou felt that there was no need to evade, and said directly: "In June, Bei Zhili transferred troops from Shanxi to the fifth army camp, and was with Sanqianying and Shenjiying. During the exercise, the emperor took the harem maidens to watch on the wall in person. This was originally a good thing to raise the power of the country. The soldiers underneath rarely saw the emperor and showed their faces in front of the emperor and the maidens. In order to show off, Shenjiying also took it. There were many firearms. It was the first time the Empress saw firearms, it was very novel, and she asked someone to come over and perform."

Speaking of this, Hou Changxing moistened his mouth with tea. Chu Jinyao didn't understand the imperial palace and officialdom, but she didn't think it was right when she listened.

Specially deployed troops from Shanxi, I am afraid that the scale of this exercise is not small, and the generals and soldiers are heroes for the country and the people, defending the frontiers. The queen herself found novelty and fun, so she called the people from Shenjiying over to perform for her... Is this a show?

Chu Jinyao felt wrong, but she looked at other people secretly, and she didn't look different. Chu Jinyao didn't know what was going on, so she didn't say anything, and listened silently.

Changxing Hou put down the tea cup and continued: "Originally, things have gone well here, and the empress likes it. Then we who are courtiers should do the same. Shenjiying demonstrates below. The emperor and the queen are so popular that it makes people excited. To cheer you up, a shameful court lady in front of the empress took the initiative to ask for her order, and the emperor's dragon was pleased, so it was allowed."

When Changxinghou talked about this, the others couldn't help but utter an "ah". This... is too ridiculous. What kind of style would a woman beat the drum for a major military sacrifice?

Obviously Changxing Hou also found it ridiculous, but Xiao Qi was spoiled, and the emperor became more and more superstitious in alchemists over the years. He spoiled Xiao Qi and didn't even care about the affairs of the court. At the end of the day, everyone felt wrong. They watched a woman laughing and playing drums on the wall. The emperor and Empress Xiaoqi were talking and laughing. They were very happy. Even the chief minister of the cabinet can only laugh with him. No Dare to say more.

"His Royal Highness was also there that day. After seeing the court lady beating the drum, the prince went directly to the wall to find the emperor and the empress. According to the adults who were accompanying the wall that day, the prince and the emperor said that the drum is an important tool for inspiring the military. It's not a plaything, the army is in formation, but a woman is laughing and playing drums in front of the formation. What kind of style is this? The emperor is not happy, and the empress is angry with the plaything. She smashed the prince with a few words, and the emperor's expression is also very unpleasant. When the cabinet saw that the situation was wrong, they hurried out to speak for the prince, and the prince also let the prince go down first.” Changxing Hou sighed and said, “Who would have thought that the prince was fine at the time, and the adults thought it was okay. Who is that? Knowing that the prince had taken two steps, he suddenly grabbed the bow and arrow from the guard, and turned around and shot the maid to death. When the imperial court saw blood, the Shoufu and Jinyiwei commanders turned pale with fright, and the maidens also screamed. Tens of thousands of soldiers below saw people dead on the wall, and they were all agitated."

The Chu family members heard that the prince dared to shoot and kill the palace lady in front of everyone. The palace lady was still a celebrity in front of his mother, and they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs in shock. Changxing Hou wanted to sigh when thinking of the scene at that time: "Just like this, Long Yan was furious, and the emperor personally made an order to let the prince come to Datong to defend the border. Datong often fights against Tatar, saying that the dead are dead. How can the prince come here? Where to plant? The old cabinet took turns to intercede, and they couldn't say that the emperor could not move. The prince was also stubborn, and he refused to subdue to the queen, so he really went to the border."

There is a deep separation between the royal father and son. Although everyone does not say this, they know it in their hearts. This time, it was completely upset.

The incident that His Royal Highness Prince Guoben shot and killed his maidservant was spread throughout the entire dynasty within a month. Now that the Chu family listened, the second young master said: "Although the prince's trip is not appropriate, it is also for the sake of maintaining military power, which is excusable."

"We think it's forgivable. How about the emperor and the empress?" More Changxing Hou was not easy to say, and they could only pass by. "The prince was only sixteen years old at the time, so young and energetic!"

Chu Jinyao heard Yu Perry sneer very lightly. Since knowing Qi Ze, at the strong request of Qi Ze, Chu Jinyao could only change a tie and hung the jade pendant around her neck. It turned out that she was tied around her waist. It’s childish and cute to wear a Hundred-Life Lock on a child’s neck. Chu Jinyao feels embarrassed that someone as old as Chu Jinyao is still hanging things on his neck, but Qi Ze said that she couldn’t stand it. .

Chu Jinyao blinked, almost suspicious that she had heard it wrong. Zize is more vigilant than she is. He never makes a sound when there are too many people. Now that her father is still sitting here, he shouldn't be able to help it?
