Chu Jinyao blinked, not understanding why. Qin Yi was really unpredictable. She asked a question sincerely, why did he laugh again? Chu Jinyao was a little unhappy. She planned to wait for Qin Yi to stop laughing before questioning him, but Qin Yi kept laughing. Chu Jinyao could only interrupt him: "I'm asking you for no reason. Be serious and don't laugh."

Qin Yi smiled lightly and replied lightly: "Maybe, it's better to teach me." The

prince had been taught by a special university scholar since he was a child. These people not only had to be profound in knowledge, but also had to be virtuous and famous. All the civil and military officials in the court, and even the prime ministers of all dynasties, were honored to be the prince's tutor. Qin Yi's teacher was not just good.

However, Chu Jinyao didn't know what the teacher in Qin Yi's words meant. When she heard that the other party's teacher was good, she stopped thinking. "It is said that a good teacher produces good students. If the master is good, then ordinary people can't learn it no matter how much they imitate. I'd better practice honestly."

Qin Yi took a step to the side and beckoned Chu Jinyao to come closer. Chu Jinyao hesitated: "This..." Qin Yi now looks like a young man. Men and women should not touch each other. How can she get so close to him?

Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't move, Qin Yi reached out and pulled her over: "Hurry up, I can't leave the jade pendant for too long. If you don't teach me how to write, you won't get any results."

Chu Jinyao's wrist was held, and she only had time to see the other person's slender fingers. Qin Yi was still in a trance, and his fingers were still translucent, but even so, it didn't prevent him from completely encircling Chu Jinyao's wrist with one hand, and with a little force he pulled her over.

Chu Jinmiao inexplicably felt that these were the hands of a martial artist. If he didn't practice martial arts, his fingers wouldn't be so slender and powerful.

How many years has Qin Yi practiced? He is so good at both civil and martial arts. Chu Jinyao was thinking absentmindedly, and was suddenly hit on the forehead. Although it didn't hurt, it was enough to wake her up.

"What are you doing?" Chu Jinyao covered her forehead, raised her head and glared at Qin Yi unhappily.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Hey, you are distracted and you are right? Hold the pen well and write according to the method I said."

Chu Jinyao is still very serious about learning. If she doesn't pay attention anymore, she will be caught by Chu Jinmiao. She immediately retracted her thoughts and listened carefully to Qin Yi. Qin Yi stood beside Chu Jinyao and taught her how to use the pen and how to start, develop, turn and end. There were some places where Chu Jinyao didn't do well. Qin Yi was impatient and directly stretched out his hand to hold the pen to help her correct it. He was on Chu Jinyao's left hand side. Every time he wanted to hold the pen, he could only stretch his arm from behind Chu Jinyao and hold her to correct it. Chu Jinyao felt extremely uncomfortable. She told herself in her heart that Qin Yi was a weirdo who had no sense of the strict rules for men and women, so she shouldn't bother with him about these things. After repeating this many times, Chu Jinyao gradually got used to it. Qin Yi held her hand and she slowly moved forward on the paper, and her writing became more and more smooth.

Chu Jinyao seldom picked up a pen before, and she was very afraid of ink, but now with Qin Yi's guidance, she got the hang of it very quickly. Later, when Qin Yi let go of her hand, she could write a few words properly. Chu Jinyao was very happy in her heart. She turned around happily and said, "Look, I can write by myself!"

Chu Jinyao turned around in a hurry and forgot that Qin Yi was standing behind her, and the two were very close. When she turned around like this, she almost bumped into Qin Yi's chin.

Qin Yi had to go around Chu Jinyao to hold the pen, so he had to stand very close. He was taller than Chu Jinyao, so he had to support the table with one hand and put the other hand around Chu Jinyao, moving the pen with her familiar feeling. Now Chu Jinyao suddenly turned around and almost bumped into him. Chu Jinyao turned around and found that Qin Yi's face was so close to her, and she was stunned on the spot. Qin Yi reacted very quickly. He immediately raised his chin back, then lowered his eyes and glanced at Chu Jinyao: "What are you doing?"

Chu Jinyao was very embarrassed. This was the first time she was so close to a man. It was at this moment that she clearly realized that Qin Yi was a man and she could no longer get along with him as before. Chu Jinyao was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but she found that Qin Yi's chin was much thinner than before. His face was so transparent that it almost melted into the air. There was a kind of light and fragile beauty, which made his facial features more exquisite.

However, Chu Jinyao no longer had the heart to appreciate Qin Yi's outstanding appearance. She said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qin Yi himself looked nonchalant: "Nothing, I have been away from the jade pendant for too long, and my soul can't support it. I will be fine after I go back to recuperate."

What do you mean by recuperate? Is it a joke about the soul? Chu Jinyao was so angry that she almost died: "Since you can't come out for too long, then you should go back quickly! It's my fault that I was so busy practicing calligraphy that I didn't even notice you."

"I'm fine." Qin Yi said, and couldn't help but add, "Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with you."

"Okay, I know, you should go back quickly!"

Qin Yi has been a person who can't sit still since he was a child. He hates being restrained the most, and now he is restricted in the jade pendant, which is simply indescribable. It's okay that there was no way to do it before, but now that he can get away from that restrained place, Qin Yi doesn't want to go back at all. But Chu Jinyao was so anxious that she was about to cry, and Qin Yi had no choice but to return to the jade pendant reluctantly.

After entering the jade pendant, the weak soul immediately felt much better. Qin Yi took a deep breath and immediately went to comfort Chu Jinyao: "I'm fine, don't cry."

How can this be called fine? Chu Jinyao was really about to cry because of Qin Yi. How could this person not take his body seriously at all? She was silent for a while, not knowing who she was angry with. Finally, she said: "Don't do this next time."

"Well, okay." Qin Yi replied half-heartedly. He yawned lazily and said, "You should practice calligraphy. This is a long and arduous process. You can't be lazy."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao sat down at the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and said, "I'm practicing calligraphy here. If you feel sleepy, take a rest first. I'll accompany you."

Qin Yi laughed, "I'm not a child. Why do I need someone to accompany me?" Although he said this, he was exhausted today. He could only hold on for a while before he couldn't stand it and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Jinyao saw that Qin Yi was motionless, so he moved more carefully. In the study, only the rustling sound of the pen tip could be heard.

As the night deepened, the little maid lit the lanterns one by one on the corridor, and lights were also turned on in the courtyards of Changxing Marquis' Mansion. At this time, there were few people walking around in the mansion. No matter what they said or did during the day, those who could sit under the same lamp at this time were the real close ones.

Chu Jinmiao put the lampshade on the candlestick and asked, "Isn't my father coming today?"

Aunt Zhang said, "It's so late, I'm afraid the marquis will stay in that courtyard tonight."

Normally, Chu Jinmiao was a girl and shouldn't ask about her father, aunt, etc., but Chu Jinmiao and Zhao had been close since she was a child. When Zhao was wronged by the aunt, she also liked to talk to Chu Jinmiao. Over time, the people in Zhao's room got used to it.

Changxing Marquis had one wife and three concubines. Although Zhao's position as the main wife was stable, it was actually just a face-saving favor. The one who was truly favored was Aunt Huang.

Just like tonight, Marquis Changxing stayed in Aunt Huang's yard again.

When Zhao entered the family, she was the eldest daughter-in-law and the wife of the marquis. I don't know how many people stared at her belly. Zhao got pregnant almost a year after entering the family. However, despite so many expectations, Zhao did not give birth to a boy, but a girl. Although Mrs. Chu was a little disappointed, she still gave Zhao respect and took the girl away as soon as she was born. She was strictly educated as the eldest granddaughter. Although it was very unfair to the mother to take the child away as soon as she was born, it was very respectable and showed the status of the mother and the child to be raised by the elders in the noble family. After the eldest daughter was taken away, Zhao tried her best to have another child, but she was unable to conceive for a long time. Instead, Yan, the second wife, gave birth to a son, who became the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Changxing. Zhao was under great pressure and had no choice but to stop giving medicine to several concubines.

When Zhao was pregnant with the eldest daughter, she could not serve the Marquis of Changxing, so taking a concubine was inevitable. Old Lady Chu sent a maid named Furong to serve Zhao, but who didn't know what her real purpose was. Zhao didn't like her mother-in-law to interfere in her bedroom affairs, so she kept suppressing Furong and didn't open her face. When Old Lady Chu found out, she said nothing. A few days later, the Marquis of Changxing went out for a social gathering and brought a girl back with him. The girl's surname was Huang. She was a gift from Taiyuan officials to the Marquis of Changxing. It was said that she was from Yangzhou and was specially trained to honor the official boss.

Huang showed her strong ability to win favor as soon as she entered the house. Zhao didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the Marquis of Changxing would be fine. But seeing that Huang's power was getting stronger and stronger, Zhao gradually became uneasy. She had to hurriedly give Furong a face and let Furong share Huang's favor. After Zhao gave birth to the eldest daughter, she was unable to get pregnant for a long time. She couldn't stand the pressure from her husband's family and reluctantly stopped giving Huang and Furong medicine.

In the rich family compound, the status of the concubines is half slaves. As long as the wife of the main wife does not agree, they have to drink contraceptive soup after serving the emperor. They cannot let the blood of illegitimate children disrupt the family hierarchy. The eldest son and daughter can only come from the belly of the legal wife.

Once Zhao stopped giving the concubines medicine, it meant that she might have a illegitimate eldest son, which was not a decent thing for the main wife. Zhao was under a lot of pressure and finally gave birth to the second young master to inherit the business. However, not long after, concubine Huang and Furong also got pregnant one after another, and each gave birth to a illegitimate son. Huang was favored, and now she stopped taking contraceptive soup. After giving birth to the third young master, she slowed down for a while, and gave birth to the third girl Chu Jinchan a year later.

Huang gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her status in the back house suddenly rose a lot, and her arrogance became more and more arrogant. After Zhao gave birth to her second legitimate daughter, she was silent. Marquis Changxing rarely came to stay in the main room except on the first and fifteenth day of the month. Even if he did, he would just sit down and talk. Zhao was about to fail to give birth to a legitimate bloodline. Nanny Zhang gave Zhao an idea to let Bailing, the maidservant who came with her as a concubine

, go. As long as Bailing could keep Marquis Changxing, she would also stay in Zhao's house. Zhao reluctantly let someone brush Bailing's face and officially became a concubine. However, Bailing was no match for Huang. It was not until several years later that she gave birth to twins, named Seventh Master and Eighth Girl, who are only six years old now.

Aunt Huang is the only one in the family in the back house, and Furong is Mrs. Chu's person after all. Even for the sake of face, Marquis Changxing can't be too cold. After all, the most deserted place is Zhao's.

Chu Jinmiao has been close to Zhao since she was a child, and she knows everything about her mother's room. When she heard that Marquis Changxing went to Aunt Huang again, she was so angry that she put the teacup heavily on the table: "Why can't father distinguish the importance? Who is Huang? How can she be so respectful to him?"

A girl who has not yet married cannot say such words to the aunt, it's too dirty. But there are no outsiders here, and Aunt Zhang and others turned a blind eye and let it go.

Zhao said, "Who says it's not true? Huang is used to pretending. Look at her waist and legs. She can't even sit straight. She's like a vixen. But men just fall for it." The more Zhao thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn't help but curse, "They're all bitches."

What Zhao said was inappropriate, but Nanny Zhang and Chu Jinmiao were silent, not knowing how to persuade Zhao. After a while, Chu Jinmiao comforted Zhao: "Mother, don't be angry with them. Even if they are favored, can they surpass you? No matter how foolish father is, he will not allow Chongqie to kill his wife."

Aunt Zhang also said: "Yes, madam, the favor of men in the back house is only temporary. Children are the real support. You still have the second young master!" Aunt Zhang originally wanted to say that you still have the eldest young master, the eldest girl and the fifth girl, but she thought that Chu Jinmiao was still there, so it was not easy to mention Chu Jinyao, so she omitted the girls together.

Aunt Zhang changed her words temporarily. Zhao didn't hear it, but Chu Jinmiao did. Chu Jinmiao looked at Aunt Zhang coldly without any expression.

Author's words: Small theater:

Qin Yi: I heard that some people suspected that Chu Jinyao would accidentally kiss someone if she suddenly turned around.

Oh, just kidding, who am I? I have always had a very fast reaction since I was a child. Such things as not being able to dodge in time and accidentally touching the cheeks and lips will never happen to me.
