"Prince Huai Ling has arrived."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the room were shocked, and the girls also began to stir quietly.

At that time, etiquette was strict. Brothers and sisters were not allowed to sit together after the age of seven. Girls could not go out many times a year. On weekdays, they did not go out of the main door or the back door. There were only a few men they could see, and there were even fewer men of the right age. Food and sex are human nature. It is human nature for young people to admire young women, and girls of their prime age are no exception.

Lin Xiyuan walked into the room with a smile, looking straight ahead all the way, without looking around. There were so many girls sitting around, and he did not look up impolitely. Lin Xining walked to the side of Madam Chu and performed the standard evening greetings leisurely: "

Hello, Madam Chu. I wish you good health." Madam Chu was always serious, but when she saw Lin Xiyuan, she couldn't help but smile with relief: "It turned out to be the prince. Why did you think of our Changxing Marquis Mansion? I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Lin Xiyuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Madam? Changxing Marquis Mansion is a wealthy family. Along the way, you have seen the rules and regulations of your mansion. Jingran, I have learned a lot, how can you say that the hospitality is not good enough? "

Old Madam Chu laughed at what she said. She rarely felt so happy. The deep wrinkles on her lips smiled: "As long as the prince likes it."

After greeting Old Madam Chu, Lin Xiyuan bowed to Chu Zhu: "Second aunt." After that, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "Second brother, eldest sister, second sister."

Chu Zhu returned to her parents' home, and naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the palace. The second brother he mentioned is Lin Xining, the eldest sister is Chu Zhu's concubine Lin Baoying, and the second sister is the legitimate daughter Lin Baohuan.

The descendants of the Prince of Huailing were much less than those of the Marquis of Changxing. The Prince and Princess of the County had only one son and one daughter, both of whom were legitimate, namely the Crown Prince and the County Lord Lin Baozhu. The second elder of the Palace was Chuzhu's husband, and he had only one son, Lin Xining, and two daughters, one illegitimate

and one legitimate. Lin Baohuan was the darling of the Palace, and the only legitimate daughter of her aunt. Since she came to the Marquis of Changxing, she has been the center of attention. But now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan did not dare to be arrogant, and bowed her head quickly: "Big brother."

Lin Xiyuan was their eldest brother, and the Crown Prince of the Palace. Even though he looked like a gentle gentleman, Lin Baohuan knew that their eldest brother was much more than that.

The girls of the Chu family saw that Lin Baohuan, who always had her eyes on the top of her head, was as obedient as a rabbit in front of Lin Xiyuan, and they were more and more impressed by Lin Xiyuan. A handsome young man with a distinguished family background, handsome appearance, and always smiling, which girl would not like such a handsome young man?

When Lin Xiyuan stood in Rongning Hall, he was the focus of everyone's attention. The girls were secretly looking at Lin Xiyuan. They thought their cousin Lin Xining was handsome yesterday, but now after seeing the prince, Lin Xining suddenly became mediocre. To put it bluntly, Lin Xining was just like their brothers. Under the teachings of their family, his every move was noble, but there was not much difference from his peers, because everyone was like this. But Lin Xiyuan was obviously different.

Many eyes were on Lin Xiyuan, but he kept smiling, and there was not a single stiffness on his face, as if he was used to being noticed. He chatted and laughed with Madam Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders with a calm expression, and his actions were measured and elegant. Anyone who saw him would have to praise that young people are formidable.

Chu Jinmiao secretly watched for a while, then retracted her gaze, but her hands clenched tighter at her sides. This is the difference between the prince's mansion and the marquis' mansion. Although they both raised heirs, the second young master would not have the brilliance of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she went to the prince's mansion, she would have the opportunity to meet people like the county lord and the prince. In the future, with the opportunity of being the county lord, she would be able to meet the prince often, and maybe even the crown prince! This means that the future is much brighter if you stay in Changxing Marquis's Mansion!

Chu Jinmiao thought so, and the other girls were not fools either. The brave one continued to secretly glance at Lin Xiyuan, while the one with a chasm in her heart had already lowered her eyes and head, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Their standing postures did not change, but the distance between the sisters suddenly became distant.

Old Madam Chu asked about the health of the old lady in the palace. After Lin Xiyuan finished speaking, Old Madam Chu smiled and said, "Your Highness, you have come here specially today. You must have worked hard. Since you have come from a long way, you might as well stay for a few more days. Our two families are relatives, and our relationship is the closest. Your aunt, Ning'er and others are all here. You can treat this place as your own home and stay here with peace of mind. These are your cousins, so there is no need to be estranged."

After Old Madam Chu said this, Lin Xiyuan turned around and bowed to the girls: "Hello, cousins."

Although he turned around, his eyes were looking at the ground, and he didn't look at the girls. The old lady was more satisfied after seeing this, and even Zhao and others were smiling.

This is really a good boy, with a good family background, good talents, and good conduct. There is nothing to fault with him.

The prince spoke to them, and the girls all bowed their heads slightly and squatted to greet him: "Hello, cousin."

The words "cousin" were actually a bit forced. But the old lady said so, and they understood what the elders meant, so they obeyed reluctantly. Chu Jinyao mixed in with the sisters, lowered her head, tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, and greeted Lin Xiyuan in a subtle way.

There were seven or eight girls from three rooms present. These girls usually had different temperaments, some were lively and some were quiet, but at this moment, they were all gentle and delicate, and their manners were at their best. If Nanny Hua was here, I wonder how moved she would be when she saw this.

Yan was smart, had a sharp tongue and was very good at speaking. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that she couldn't let this big fish go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to step forward and said with a hearty smile: "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite between cousins. It seems that this is the first time for the prince to come, and he may not recognize everyone?"

Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Yes. Please introduce all my cousins ​​to me."

As early as when Yan was speaking, Mrs. Chu felt that something was wrong. Before she could stop it, she heard Lin Xiyuan actually smiled and agreed. Mrs. Chu was a little surprised. She and Nanny Gu looked at each other, sat back, and planned to wait and see.

When Yan saw that Lin Xiyuan agreed, she became happier and enthusiastically introduced the girls. When introducing them, she put some effort into her words, emphasizing the girl from the second house, and only mentioned the girls from other houses in passing.

Zhao was furious after hearing this, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of outsiders. When Yan pointed to Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, she played a trick and said, "These two are the fourth and fifth girls in our house. The prince should be unfamiliar with the fifth girl, she was just brought back from outside."

This is Yan's cunning. She introduced Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao at the same time, but she only mentioned Chu Jinmiao and skipped it, instead emphasizing that the fifth girl was just brought back from outside.

What kind of girl would be just brought back from outside? No one would think of the reason of being wrongly taken, and everyone tacitly believed that she was a concubine's daughter.

She was obviously a legitimate daughter, but Yan Shi hinted that she was a concubine's daughter who was not to be seen. But can you say that Yan Shi was wrong? No. Chu Jinyao was very impressed after hearing this. In the backyard, speaking is really a skill.

But Chu Jinyao had no intention of correcting it. She had no idea about this prince. What happened during the day was too embarrassing. She wished that this prince would not even look at her.

Lin Xiyuan said in his heart, and he smiled and said to Chu Jinyao, "Hello, fifth cousin."

After that, he looked straight at Chu Jinyao with his smiling eyes.

Chu Jinyao lowered her eyes and did not look at Lin Xiyuan. When other people saw this, although they secretly hated Chu Jinyao for having Lin Xiyuan greet her alone, after seeing Chu Jinyao's performance, they thought that she was quite polite and turned their eyes away.

Old Madam Chu also felt that Chu Jinyao was very well-behaved. Although she came from a poor family, she did not take the opportunity to show off. She was actually better behaved than the young ladies who grew up in wealthy families. Old Madam Chu was extremely satisfied, and her opinion of this granddaughter who appeared out of nowhere also changed a lot.

Outsiders think Chu Jinyao is polite, but in fact, the real reason why Chu Jinyao dared not raise her head can scare them to death. Chu Jinyao complained a lot. She was afraid of being recognized. She even found an excuse to go back and change clothes in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyuan followed the old lady and greeted everyone one by one. Chu Jinyao was very sad. She changed her clothes, why was she still recognized?

Lin Xiyuan's arrival was like a stone thrown into the ladies' peaceful life. On the surface, the lake seemed calm as before, but there was a turbulent undercurrent underneath.

Only then did the ladies intuitively realize what it meant to be chosen as a study partner.

Chu Jinyao returned to Chaoyun Court that day. When she went to bed, she sat on the small couch in the west room and complained to Qin Yi: "You say, should I choose this study partner?"

Qin Yi thought about the life of his own study partner and couldn't say that being a study partner was a good job. He said: "Being a study partner may seem glamorous, but secretly, you will inevitably have to take the blame for the princes and princesses, and it is inevitable to suffer."

Chu Jinyao nodded: "Yes, that's how I feel, too. I thought so. But I finally had a nanny to teach me. I was already a step behind others. If I didn’t seize this great opportunity, I would deserve to be laughed at by the fourth lady. So, I thought, I would study hard during the daytime classes, and when I finally went to the Prince’s Mansion to be selected by the princess, I would deliberately dress worse and fail. "

Qin Yi agreed very much. He found that Chu Jinyao’s mentality was unexpectedly good. She was motivated, yet carefree. Qin Yi asked: "Although Huai Ling is neither good nor bad, it is a prince's mansion after all. Aren't you tempted at all?"

"Of course I am. But it also depends on whether it is mine." Chu Jinyao smiled and raised the jade pendant, saying, "Do you think I will say I am not tempted?"

"Yes." Qin Yi wanted to put on a straight face, but in the end he couldn't help laughing, "You are so stubborn."

"Who doesn't want to live a better life? If there is a chance to live a good life, I will also strive for it. But I made such a big fool of myself in front of the prince, and I have no chance anymore. It is better to calm down and learn something from the nanny. This is the serious matter."

Qin Yi said nothing. It is a common problem among men. He originally disliked those who tried their best to climb up. He always felt that women who were quiet and indifferent and did not compete with the world were good. But now, hearing Chu Jinyao say this, he felt it was very real and cute.

Those women in the harem who said they would not fight, in fact, not fighting is the biggest fight.

"You should go to bed." Qin Yi said, "I'm afraid there will be trouble tomorrow."

Chu Jinyao also sighed after hearing this: "It turns out that these girls are scheming and they are very scheming. Now they want to compete for the position of study partner, who knows what they will do. Tell me, what if I get hurt by mistake?"

"Don't worry."

"Huh? Do you mean you will help me avoid it?"

"No." Qin Yi told the truth calmly and coldly, "What I mean is that you will definitely be hurt by mistake. How can you beat the others? You have to suffer a few losses before you can learn the intrigue. Anyway, you are tough, it's okay, don't worry, just remember it."

"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao put the jade pendant on the couch with a bang, and took a fruit plate from the table next to him barefoot, and put it on the top of the jade pendant. "Then I'll teach you a lesson, you should cover

yourself like this tonight when you sleep." Qin Yi laughed softly. Chu Jinyao became even angrier when she heard this guy dare to laugh. She originally wanted to scare him, but now she was really angry. She really ignored the jade pendant, went to bed, put down the curtains and went to sleep.

After the candles went out, only the moonlight penetrated the window lattice, and sprinkled on the floor alone, clear and quiet. In the moonlight, a figure slowly walked out of the jade pendant. He was very tall, with straight shoulders and a thin waist. His figure still had the thinness of a teenager, but his back was very straight and his bones were clearly defined. He wore a set of indigo-colored narrow-sleeved casual clothes, and at the cuffs, a four-clawed python dragon was embroidered with gold thread.

Qin Yi's soul has become stronger and stronger in the past few days. He can gradually break away from the jade pendant and walk outside alone, but now he still can't hold the real thing. The moonlight shone on Qin Yi's body, and actually passed through him and projected onto the ground. His face was almost as clear and white as the moonlight, his eyes were sharp and bright, and the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, which made him look delicate and heroic.

Qin Yi went out after nightfall in recent days to see if he could find any clues from the Chu Mansion. He planned to go to the yard in the daytime to take a look in person. He was counting on Chu Jinyao because he was crazy. Qin Yi was about to go out to avoid being seen, but before he left, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the bunk bed.

Chu Jinyao fell asleep. She turned over in her dream and half of her shoulders and arms were stretched out of the quilt.

It was chilly in February and quite cool at night. If she slept like this, she would have shoulder pain again tomorrow.

Qin Yi turned around, pulled up the quilt and covered Chu Jinyao.

Qin Yi suddenly found that he could touch real things.

This is really good news.

The author has something to say: Player Chu Jinyao ended the novice protection state and officially entered the Shura field of house fighting.
