Chapter Ninety-Nine: Acting in front of the princess
Princess Qiuyang, who lives in the imperial city, is obviously much more luxurious than Princess Shengping's mansion. This mean-hearted person took a look, maybe he was going to say something crookedly behind his back that would affect the relationship between the two princesses.
There are two daughters in the family, and the mother's family treats one better than the other, and they are always criticized. The royal family has always had a lot of women in the harem, and there are intrigues, and this problem is more serious than that of the big families outside.
Princess Shengping is married, and the concubine's family is in the outer city, and the outer city is naturally a little less prosperous than the inner city, and the princess's mansion cannot be as luxurious as these sisters in the imperial city, which is inevitable. Besides, Princess Shengping and the concubine are so affectionate, and the life of the fairy couple is so envious that others don't know how envious they are, and Princess Shengping will not blame the emperor for being partial.
Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan walked together, holding hands, just looking at the back, a little like a father with his daughter. Passers-by saw it, and they were still talking about how good-looking the father and daughter were, and said that Chu Jingyan didn't look very old, and he didn't expect his daughter to be so old, so she looked really young.
Chu Jiayin didn't know what they thought, why couldn't they be brother and sister, or some other decent relationship? The second brother is obviously only a teenager at first glance, where can he be her father?
"Second brother, how many times did Princess Qiuyang go to see it during the exam?" Chu Jiayin asked.
Chu Jingyan shook his head: "Don't you know that the examination room doesn't let people in?" Even if she entered the house of the adult who took the initiative to contribute to the palace as the examination room, she could only stay quietly in a place other than the examination room, and she could not see us. ”
"Oh!" Chu Jiayin pouted, "Then how did Princess Qiuyang find you later?" I think you guys seem to be very talkative? ”
When she wanted to try to get close to Chu Jingyan, it took a lot of effort to succeed, and she almost lost her life for him during the period. Chu Jiayin felt that if she hadn't saved her life for her second brother, Chu Jingyan might not have been cold to him until now, just like facing Chu Yun.
Speaking of which, the second brother hates Chu Yun just because of her style, what about her Chu Jiayin, she used to bully others, does the second brother really hate her? It must be annoying, right?
As soon as Chu Jingyan lowered his eyes, he saw Chu Jiayin looking like a stingy ghost who didn't know who to talk to, and said with a smile: "She is a princess, if I don't talk to her well, what if the emperor comes to talk to me?" When the time comes, you will see that the sky is good, and it is inevitable that your head will move. ”
Chu Jiayin's brain froze for a moment, and then he remembered that there was such a thing. Hey, Princess Qiuyang and Princess Shengping look quite approachable, so much so that Chu Jiayin forgot that there was such a person as the emperor behind them.
"Then if she wasn't a princess, wouldn't the second brother ignore her?" Chu Jiayin asked expectantly.
Chu Jingyan said, "Why don't you ignore it? ”
Hearing this, Chu Jiayin pursed her lips and was so angry that smoke rose above her head.
"Okay, okay, Princess Qiuyang is so good-looking, you must pay attention to it." Chu Jiayin let go of his hand, hung his head and walked forward angrily, not planning to talk to Chu Jingyan anymore.
Chu Jingyan laughed directly, chased after people, and shouted, "What are you angry about?" ”
Maybe my sister is afraid that after her brother gets close to other women, she won't play with her anymore? Chu Jingyan felt that this was the case.
When Chu Jiayin mentioned the other two elder brothers, she always said that the two of them were big fools and elm heads, and they were not fun at all. But when she met Chu Jingyan, she wouldn't say that, even if Chu Jingyan was more boring than the two stupid brothers, Chu Jiayin always followed him with an almost adoring gaze. When he arrives at Chu Jingyan's side, he will let go of his heart of having fun all the time, study well, and even practice martial arts.
In this way, Chu Jingyan knew it, and he began to think that maybe Chu Jiayin had unconsciously regarded him as a brother, relying on him and being close to him. What about him, what did he think of Chu Jiayin?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be quite good to have such a noisy sister by her side, and to accommodate her and care for her.
Chu Jiayin still ignored the second brother behind her, and deliberately held her hand in front of her and held it on her stomach, so that the brother who caught up behind her would have a chance to pull her hand.
"Yinyin!" Chu Jingyan shouted again, but the other party still ignored him.
In the end, Chu Jingyan could only gently press her shoulders to prevent her from disappearing in the crowd.
Unconsciously, the two walked outside the princess's mansion, Princess Qiuyang had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Chu Jingyan and Chu Jiayin wandering around outside, she hurriedly walked out.
"Chu ...... Son. Princess Qiuyang lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped over the threshold, but stopped just as she was about to descend the front steps.
On the other side, Chu Jiayin squatted on the ground and sulked, grabbing a branch that he didn't know where to get it and drawing circles. Chu Jingyan coaxed people next to him and smiled very gently.
His face could have been unforgettable for a lifetime, and when I saw him smile like this, I was afraid that the bottom of the abyss would never be able to climb up again. After a brief contact with Chu Jingyan, and heard the imperial sister say how cold this person was, Princess Qiuyang originally thought that he should have no fireworks in the world, let alone smile because he was in a happy mood like a layman.
But now, she saw it.
The tips of Chu Jiayin's ears suddenly moved, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the door. Princess Qiuyang, who caused her to sulk here, stood at the door, looking at the second brother stupidly, as if she had fallen into the peerless face of the second brother, in fact, it was exactly that.
Chu Jiayin hurriedly stood up and grabbed the second brother's hand, but unfortunately there was no lethality. In the eyes of outsiders, even if they are not speculated to be father and daughter, they are proper brothers and sisters.
Chu Jingyan recovered from her sister's emotions, turned her head and saw Princess Qiuyang standing at the door, and hurriedly pulled Chu Jiayin forward to greet the princess.
"The princess is well." The smile on Chu Jingyan's face was completely gone, and it was still Chu Jingyan who was as cold as ice and unkind.
Princess Qiuyang was a little disappointed, looked at Chu Jiayin, and was silently surprised by Chu Jiayin's face. It's really good-looking, if those royal brothers grow up in the future, how good it would be to hire the royal princess as a little princess.
It's not that she likes Chu Jiayin, it's just that when she thinks that in the future, if Chu Jiayin gives birth to a child who is as delicate and beautiful as her, and will chase Princess Qiuyang behind her back and call her aunt, Princess Qiuyang feels happy in her heart, who doesn't like beautiful children? If it's your own home, why don't you like it more?
Chu Jiayin was almost glued to the second brother, and when she looked at Princess Shangqiuyang's gaze, her body trembled, and she also said okay.
Why is there some inexplicable hostility in the eyes of this princess, except for the appreciation at the beginning?
Princess Qiuyang knew what the relationship between the two was, but no matter how she looked at it, she realized that she was jealous of a little girl who was short of her own head. It's really uncompromising!
After Princess Qiuyang silently recited in her heart more than a dozen times not to be angry, she said kindly and gently: "The dinner is still some time away, Master Chu and Miss Chu, why don't you go to the backyard with me first?" ”
Chu Jiayin was secretly unhappy, she walked with her second brother on foot, and the road was not close, and now her legs are sore, so she doesn't want to go around with Her Royal Highness the Princess. She just wants to sit back and have a good rest!
However, I dare not speak of the suffering.
The second brother said: "My sister has just broken her foot on the road, and it is inconvenient to walk around, can the princess find a place for us to rest, thank you." ”
Chu Jiayin looked at Chu Jingyan in surprise, tsk, it's better to be the second brother.
If you have a broken foot, it's about the same as a sore leg. Therefore, when Princess Qiuyang nodded and said okay, she was going to take the two of them to rest, Chu Jiayin had a decent foot.
Princess Qiuyang frowned, just now I saw her coming up from underneath, and she didn't see a limp. Could it be that she was mistaken?
After taking two steps, Chu Jingyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he bent down and hugged Chu Jiayin. Chu Jiayin was flattered, but she couldn't help but inch in, and immediately raised her hand to wrap her arms around the neck of her second brother, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
I was ecstatic in my heart, full of wild running: the second brother is so good!
When Princess Qiuyang saw this, her brows frowned even tighter, but considering the identities of the two, there was nothing wrong with doing such an action, and besides, Chu Jiayin was still a child, what did she care about with children? If you want to have a good relationship with Chu Jingyan, and if you want to get married in the future, I'm afraid you have to let his sister like him.
So, Princess Qiuyang smiled politely and kindly: "Young Master Chu come with me." ”
The guards at the door, who had long been accustomed to Princess Qiuyang's pungent and arrogant temper, looked at each other, suspecting that they were blind and misunderstood, is this girl really His Royal Highness the princess who was avoided like a snake and scorpion by the outside world because of her bad temper?
The room that Princess Qiuyang gave them to rest in was bigger than Chu Jiayin's bedroom, but it was a little scary empty and not warm enough. If you stay overnight, you will find it difficult to sleep.
"It's worthy of the princess's mansion, everything is bigger than the Chu family. Let's just say that this maid and guards are more than five times more than the Chu family, but there is only one master in the entire mansion, Princess Qiuyang. Chu Jiayin complained while eating the grapes on the table.
Chu Jingyan smiled and said nothing.
There are no grapes this season, and the plate in front of Chu Jiayin was specially brought up by Princess Qiuyang for Chu Jingyan to taste. As a result, Chu Jingyan didn't want to eat it, so it all went into Chu Jiayin's mouth.
Chu Jiayin hugged that she could eat one bite at a time, and wanted to take advantage of Princess Qiuyang, and tried every means to find herself uncomfortable in her. Who made her have thoughts about her second brother?
"And this house, the guest rooms alone are bigger than the room in our Linglong Pavilion." Although Chu Jiayin doesn't like the empty atmosphere of this house, this room is really big!
"Aren't you going to learn how to make money? Later, when you earn money, you can buy a bigger house. Houses outside Kyoto are cheaper than those in the inner and outer castles of Kyoto, and it is not impossible to buy a mansion that is larger than the princess's mansion. ”
