What is he angry about?
Qin Yi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Chu Jinyao waited for a while, but did not get any answer from Qin Yi. She raised her head in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Yi came back to his senses, with no expression on his face, and said: "Nothing. I just think that it's a good thing that you were born in a marquis's mansion. If you were born into an emperor's family, you would have been reincarnated long ago."
"Hey, you..." Chu Jinyao was angry. She glared at Qin Yi for a while, and found that this person didn't even frown. Chu Jinyao was angry, but when she thought about how she would not be able to live well if she was born into the royal family, she vented her anger: "Forget it, you are right. It's my grandmother's fault that I was stubborn. If it happened to other families, I would not know how to punish my elders."
"It's good that you know." Qin Yi said unhappily. After a while, he added: "Next time you are wronged, hold your anger, bow your head and admit your mistakes to the elders, and wait until the elders' anger subsides, then you can slowly explain the truth. There were so many people at that time, and you were stubborn and refused to give in. How could you get anything good except a few more beatings?"
"I understand the logic, but I was wronged by Chu Jinmiao at that time. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but when it comes to Chu Jinmiao, I just don't want to bow my head and let her be proud." Chu Jinyao said, "Besides, I'm not wrong."
Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao, and in a trance he seemed to see that day when several elders from the inner cabinet gathered in the East Palace and said to him earnestly: "Your Highness, you just bear with it and be submissive to His Majesty and the Queen. We all know you are right. When His Majesty's anger has passed, we will persuade His Majesty and give Your Highness justice."
What did he say then? He also said: "I, Qin Yi, cannot be called a gentleman, but I never regret what I have done. He actually dared to let the palace maids beat the drums in front of the civil and military officials. Does he look like a king or a father? Now he dares to complain about being humiliated. It is impossible for me to admit my mistakes for the false charges."
The old man was so scared after hearing this that he trembled around him. No matter how many nice words he said, he could not soften him in the slightest. Unexpectedly, now it was Qin Yi's turn to play the role of "old man".
Chu Jinyao suddenly found that Qin Yi had a very light smile on his face, which was chilling. Chu Jinyao asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Qin Yi said lightly, "I just thought of my teacher. I finally understood how they felt at the time, but it's been too long."
Chu Jinyao felt that Qin Yi was very strange now. Her intuition told her that Qin Yi didn't like others asking these questions, but she couldn't just ignore him, so she had to ask softly, "Are you okay?"
Qin Yi turned around and saw Chu Jinyao staring at him with wide eyes, worried but hesitant. Her eyes were dark and bright, and now she was looking at him intently, with only Qin Yi's faint reflection in her eyes, as if there was nothing else in the world besides him. Qin Yi's heart was miraculously calmed down slowly. He himself did not realize that the undercurrent in his eyes had calmed down. With a gentle light, he said to Chu Jinyao: "I'm fine."
Qin Yi suddenly had an impulse, even if it would expose his identity. Qin Yi asked Chu Jinyao: "Do you still remember the prince?"
Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment. Why did he suddenly talk about this? She smiled and said: "Of course I remember. My father just said that the prince is still in Datong because he offended the queen."
"You are overestimating your own ability, and you are just as stupid as you."
Chu Jinyao was really confused after hearing this: "You are really amazing. You can offend two people with one sentence. No, not two people, you have offended all the officials in the court! You can stop talking to me. I also think that what I did was stubborn and stupid, but the prince is different. He dared to shoot and kill the maidservant in public, and even risked offending the emperor and the queen, just to rectify the country's prestige and boost the morale of the army. How can such a heroic behavior be called stupid?"
Qin Yi smiled: "Maybe he did that just because he thought that the emperor and the empress would not punish him severely, and he could also take revenge on his personal grudges. Why not do it?"
"You always think the worst of people." Chu Jinyao was very worried and began to educate Qin Yi, "You can't do this. Although it is said that things in the world are unpredictable, you should always think of the good side of things. This way you will feel comfortable and be positive about things, and only then will good things happen continuously. You think about things more comprehensively than I do, so why don't you understand such a simple truth? You are used to thinking the worst when encountering things. Although it can indeed prevent many accidents, in the long run, the pressure in your heart will become greater and greater. Isn't it that you will put yourself at risk?
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Qin Yi found it funny, and he couldn't help laughing
: "Don't laugh! Don't think I'm a woman and look down on my words. I'm doing this for your own good. When you leave me, you will encounter many people and many things. If you always take everything to heart and think about it, you will sooner or later drag yourself down. You are obviously very smart and learn everything quickly, why do you always like to surround yourself with thorns? You will be very tired if you do this."
"Tired?" Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao and said mercilessly, "Only a young lady like you who is kept in a deep palace can say such a thing naively. Who in the world is not tired of living? Who is not busy and fighting for petty gains? The royal family is for status and power, the court officials are for fame and career, the businessmen are for wealth and fame, and the world is bustling, and everyone is like this. Even your Changxing Marquis Mansion, which is just a companion of a small county lord, is like facing a powerful enemy, isn't it just to continue the title of Changxing Marquis? In the final analysis, people in the world are the same, It's just that some people said it, while some people refused to admit it. "
He was getting more and more stubborn, so Chu Jinyao had to say to him softly: "You are right. Water flows to the lower places, and people go to the higher places. Everyone wants to live a good life. Look at me. I was raised in a peasant family since I was a child, but now I live in the Marquis' Mansion. I said it was to return to my biological parents, but in fact, isn't it because the Marquis' Mansion is rich? If the Chu family was just an ordinary peasant family, why would there be so many things?"
Qin Yi was unhappy for no reason after hearing this, and he frowned and said, "Don't say that about yourself..."
"Listen to me first." Chu Jinyao interrupted Qin Yi and continued, "There is nothing wrong with admitting this. You see, I am back, and my grandmother has accepted me, but she did not let Chu Jinmiao leave. Firstly, the dignified Marquis's Mansion cannot afford to lose face, and secondly, it is because the Chu family is rich and does not mind raising another girl. People in the world are like this, everyone wants to live a better life, and Chu Jinmiao has done so many things to make herself go higher. I have never complained about Chu Jinmiao's arrogance. If people are not motivated, I will look down on them. I don't like her because she does not act properly. There is nothing wrong with seeking profit for yourself, but it is wrong to harm others for your own sake. You said that the world is bustling for profit, which is indeed true, but you can't ignore the true feelings of the world because of the selfishness of human nature. You see, when I was in the Su family, I had to get up early in the coldest days of winter and wash clothes with cold well water. They deliberately switched my identity and treated me like this. Do I hate them? Of course I hate them. But I also have to admit that most of the Su family are bad, but there is also my sister who takes care of me in her own way. In fact, she also knows my identity and background! You can't deny everyone because of the badness of one person. Even if this world is hypocritical and selfish, you have to see those who are good to you! "
Chu Jinyao talked for a long time, and she was thirsty at the end. Chu Jinyao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. During this process, Qin Yi unexpectedly did not speak or interrupt her.
After Chu Jinyao moistened her lips, she carefully looked at Qin Yi's expression and asked softly, "Do you understand what I mean? How about we secretly commit treason and use the prince as an example? You see, he was exiled to the border, which was really miserable, but even so, all the officials in Taiyuan carefully protected him, fearing that he would make the slightest mistake in Datong, and I heard from my father that there were still many officials in the capital who were willing to offend the emperor and protect the prince. "I want to ask the prince to be recalled to the capital. You see, even if the prince was exiled unjustly, there are still many people who treat him well behind the scenes. We don't have a complicated identity like the prince, and our background is not as complicated as his, so there will be more people who treat us well, and they will be more pure!"
Qin Yi listened indifferently, and at the end, he chuckled: "Your logic... is really simple and straightforward."
"I'm not wrong." Chu Jinyao was unconvinced and said, "Look, even with the prince's complicated background, there are still people willing to be nice to him. Common people like us will only get more people's sincerity! Don't worry, we are at least better than the prince."
Qin Yi glanced at Chu Jinyao coldly. Chu Jinyao felt guilty and lowered his voice suddenly: "I used the prince as a negative example, not you. Why are you glaring at me..."
Chu Jinyao Seeing that Qin Yi didn't say anything, she quickly flattered him and added: "You have to believe me, you are smart, rational, learn everything quickly, and have a good heart. People like you should live a very good life. Don't be bound by yourself!"
Qin Yi's heart was very complicated. He couldn't trust others since he was five years old. Now he was taught by a little girl that he was too thoughtful and always thought the worst of others. He would be bound by himself in the future. Qin Yi secretly thought that Chu Jinyao's words were all over the place, but this sentence hit the mark. He was indeed, tying himself up.
He was exiled to a dangerous frontier by his own father, who didn't care about his life or death at all, just because he killed Empress Xiao Qi's favorite maid, which brought shame to Empress Xiao Qi and the emperor. He left the capital and went to Datong, where swords and swords were indiscriminate. Even the ministers who had never met him knew to be careful to protect him, while his uncle and grandmother complained that he had a bad temper and didn't give Empress Xiao Qi face. Empress
Wenxiao, the first empress, was the legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. The successor was also from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and was the biological sister of Empress Wenxiao. The people also called the sister empress the Great Qi and the Little Qi. The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had two empresses in one family, how glorious it was, how could they care about the life and death of him, the heir, even if he was the prince. Anyway, Empress Xiao Qi also gave birth to a son. At worst, it would be the same if she was replaced by a prince. Maybe it was just right, and the little girl would be more favored. In
March of the eighth year of Jianxing, when he was only five years old, his mother was bedridden, and his aunt came to the palace to visit her. In the end, she got together with her brother-in-law, who was the emperor. After the matter was exposed, his seriously ill mother was angered to death, and the two instigators were too lazy to even pretend to be polite. Just two months later, they took Empress Xiao Qi into the palace and made her the empress. Empress Xiao Qi entered the palace in June, and the third prince was born in November. Qin Yi felt more and more ironic. It turned out that they had colluded with each other long before his mother fell ill.
This is simply a huge joke. He is the crown prince, ruling the East Palace. All the civil and military officials in the court have to kneel and bow to him when they see him, but his father, aunt, uncle, and grandmother are all standing on the opposite side of him. The crown prince calls himself lonely, which is absolutely true. Qin Yi is really a lonely man. No one, whether from his father's family or his mother's family, stands on his side, thinks what he thinks, and feels what he feels.
In the end, it was a little girl who didn't even know him who said, "People like you should live a very good life. Don't be bound by yourself!"
Qin Yi's face showed no clues, but there was a huge shock in his eyes. But he still said nothing. Qin Yi looked down at Chu Jinyao's pen and said, "Maybe you should change the paper. The ink on your pen tip has fallen off."
Chu Jinyao's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly lowered his head: "I was almost done writing on this one, how come it was ruined! I actually forgot about this when I was talking just now!"
Qin Yi smiled lightly, he lowered his head to read, and let Chu Jinyao, who was opposite him, hurriedly packing things.
Chu Jinyao changed the paper heartbrokenly. When she thought about having to endure the pain in her hands and write a new piece of big characters, she felt that her future was bleak and her life was hopeless. Chu Jinyao wrote pitifully with a tearful face. Obviously it was a very pitiful thing, but Qin Yi wanted to laugh after reading it: "If you don't want to write, forget it."
"You are just talking nonsense." Chu Jinyao glanced at Qin Yi dimly, "I always feel that you have seen the ink on the tip of the pen a long time ago, but you have to wait until the ink drips onto the paper to remind me."
Qin Yi finally couldn't help it and chuckled: "Yes. I just wanted to see if you, a silly goose, can realize what stupid thing you are doing. Later you really didn't realize it..."
Chu Jinyao silently watched Qin Yi laugh, and the more she watched, the angrier she became. How could there be such an annoying person in the world? She kindly advised him not to push himself too much, but this person was actually secretly waiting to see her laugh!
Chu Jinyao really wanted to throw the pen at Qin Yi and make him laugh again! Fortunately, the maid outside stopped her from doing such an uncivilized act. Ding Xiang said outside: "Miss, the eldest lady sent someone to ask you to go to Rongning Hall."
"Okay, I'll come right away!" Chu Jinyao responded loudly, then stood up and glared at Qin Yi fiercely, "I'll settle the score with you when I come back!"
Qin Yi had a faint smile on his face. He didn't think Chu Jinyao had the ability to fulfill such a statement.
After Chu Jinyao packed up, she hurried to Rongning Hall. The elders summoned her, so she couldn't neglect it. After she arrived at Rongning Hall, she saw Mrs. Chu with a big smile on her face. When she saw her, she said to her, "You came at the right time. I have just told the other girls that your aunt went back and told the princess about you sisters. The princess likes lively young girls very much. She said that she would invite you to visit Huailing Palace in a few days!"
Chu Jinyao was surprised. The princess wanted to meet them? Then the companion reading matter would also be finalized?
It was so fast!
