"I was planning to keep a good appearance, but unfortunately, they didn't appreciate it." Chu Jinyao walked a long way, and finally calmed down. "They dared to do such a thing, using drugs and catching the adultery. They were bullied to the extreme. If I don't slap them hard on the face, I will be angry to death." "

What catching the adultery? Don't count me in it." Qin Yi was disgusted when he thought of what happened in the afternoon. He said, "They dared to plot against me with their brains. Today, they just let their reputations be damaged. If it wasn't because of the bad reputation of mother, how could they still be safe and sound."

The mother Qin Yi was talking about was Empress Wenxiao. Qin Yi had never called Empress Xiao Qi "mother". In important occasions, he had to call her "Empress". Because of this reason, Chu Jinyao never called Empress Xiaoqi mother-in-law, she always called her "Empress" or "Mrs.".

After all, Zhenbei Houfu is Qin Yi's uncle, and it is this kind of true relatives that hurt people the most. No one is the winner in what happened today.

In the evening, Chu Jinyao took off her makeup and washed herself, and her long hair like a waterfall fell naturally, still with a slight moisture. Such long hair will take some time to dry. Chu Jinyao didn't want to be alone, so she wore a light summer dress to find Qin Yi in the study.

Even if Qin Yi came to the palace, he couldn't be idle. The emperor didn't understand and didn't care about state affairs, so someone had to worry about it. Chu Jinyao approached Qin Yi with familiarity: "Your Highness?"

Chu Jinyao had just finished taking a shower, and could still smell the mist when he got close. The summer wind blew in from the window, gently stirring the letters on the table. Chu Jinyao used a paper weight to suppress the restless papers, and casually said: "Looking at this situation, it may rain."

The summer night was quiet, and with his beloved wife by his side, Qin Yi could even smell the natural fragrance of Chu Jinyao. Such a plain scene seemed to have a special magic, and Qin Yi's heart could not help but calm down, and even indulge in it.

"Why did you come here dressed like this? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"What month is it now? How can I catch a cold?" Chu Jinyao smiled and glanced at him.

It was already July, and the daytime was getting hotter and hotter. The palace was a little better because there were more plants and trees. Qin Yi knew that he was worrying too much, but it was windy tonight and there was a possibility of a heavy rain. He was always worried that she would catch a cold. Qin Yi stretched out his hand to feel Chu Jinyao's arm and smiled, "Sure enough, in winter you were frozen like a quail and refused to stick your head out, but in summer you feel much better. With you here, there's no need for ice cubes."

Chu Jinyao's skin was naturally cool, soft and white, and felt really good to the touch. Qin Yi pinched left and right, his hands gradually became dishonest. Chu Jinyao grabbed his hands mercilessly and asked: "Your Highness, what did you do during the day to replace the person with the eldest son of the Qi family?"

To be honest, with the warm and soft jade in his arms, Qin Yi obviously didn't want to bring up other topics. He still felt uncomfortable when he thought about what happened during the day. Qin Yi said nonchalantly: "These people are really bold. They dared to pay attention to me. I hate being coerced and deceived the most in my life, and they took advantage of two at once. It happened that I received Xiao Qianzi's letter, so I simply took advantage of the situation and lured Qi Da over."

With Qin Yi's arrogance, it would be strange if he could swallow this breath after being plotted against by Qi Rong and threatened with fraud. After Qi Rong said those nonsense words in the afternoon, Qin Yi was really angry and planned to leave immediately, but he heard footsteps before he went out. Qi Rong should be thankful that it was Xiao Qianzi who came, and not someone else, otherwise, things would be far from being handled in the current situation. Xiao Qianzi was ordered by Chu Jinyao to come to Qinghe Palace to check for suspicious places. This pavilion was naturally the focus of the investigation.

It can only be said that women are really gifted in this aspect, and they can detect something wrong with just a few clues. Xiao Qianzi only checked two places, but he actually found his own prince. When Qin Yi saw Xiao Qianzi, he knew that Chu Jinyao was also prepared, and suddenly came up with a plan.

Qin Yi immediately had someone restrain Qi Rong, and then sent someone to pass a message to Prince Qi, saying that Qi Rong had sprained her ankle and asked Prince Qi to pick her up. Qin Yi also pried open Qi Rong's mouth, found Erhua, who had been knocked unconscious by Qi Rong, and carefully prepared it for Prince Qi. When the prince arrived, he fainted before he could figure out what happened. At the same time, Chu Jinyao was also leading Grandma Qi to the pavilion.

It's hard to say who is luring whom into the trap.

Chu Jinyao asked: "Your Highness, how do you think the Queen will deal with this matter?"

Qin Yi immediately understood that Chu Jinyao wanted to ask about Qi Rong, but women always have to be roundabout in such matters, and Chu Jinyao is the same. Qin Yi did not point it out, and said: "It's hard to talk about Qi Da and his wife, but he will be beaten when he returns. As for Qi Rong..."

Qin Yi paused deliberately, and Chu Jinyao's eyes lit up. She was obviously anxious but pretended not to care. Qin Yi smiled in his heart and did not continue to tease her. He finished the rest of the sentence: "She should be married soon. If something like this happens, the Qi family is the most afraid."

After all, if the incident was exposed, Qin Yi would not lose anything in terms of fame and wealth as he was the prince, but all the unmarried girls in the entire family of Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion would not be able to get married. Even the married girls would probably be implicated by their natal family, otherwise, the little Queen Qi would not be so angry today.

After all, the world treats men differently. It's no big deal that the prince of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion slept with a palace maid. The young Queen Qi is the empress, how can she not deal with such a thing? It's a bit embarrassing at best. But Qi Rong was caught in the act, which is truly fatal.

What's even more terrible is that this fatal handle is still in the hands of Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao treated it differently, thinking that if she were the Zhenbei Marquis and his wife, she would be so anxious now that she would not dare to come to the East Palace to make trouble. The Zhenbei Marquis's mansion must be very lively tonight. The Qi family is a royal family, but they have a daughter like Qi Rong who is so self-deprecating, and the eldest daughter-in-law actually helped Qi Rong set up a trap without telling the elders! Chu Jinyao sighed at the thought. If she were the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei, she would probably want to beat the idiots to death.

Oh, by the way, the prince of the Qi family, the future Marquis of Zhenbei, also took a charming concubine back with him. Erhua ran out today just to climb into bed. Chu Jinyao had no good feelings for her. Now that Erhua was taken away by the prince of the Qi family, she got what she wanted. As for her, a little palace maid, she offended the eldest wife and the mistress of the house on the first day. Whether she could live well in the Marquis's mansion was not what Chu Jinyao cared about.

Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers.

Erhua was taken over by the Qi family. Erfeng was a traitor and had been dealt with long ago. Suddenly, only two of the four beauties were left. Erxue changed sides wisely, and the remaining one was no longer a big deal. Qi Rong also got her comeuppance. When a woman gets married, she is reborn for the second time. Her husband is carefully selected, and her parents spend a whole year choosing. Qi Rong had to get married in a hurry. Even if she did not marry a man of low status, the character of the man could not be guaranteed.

Chu Jinyao had three fewer potential rivals in love. As for the remaining palace maids who wanted to climb into bed, without the protective aura of the queen's gift, Linglong and Erxue were enough to suppress them and prevent them from making any progress. Qin Yi promised that there would be no one else, but that didn't mean Chu Jinyao didn't need to be on guard. Qin Yi didn't need to do anything. When he stood here, he was like an oil lamp at night, attracting too many moths and flies.

She, the Crown Princess, couldn't guard against servants with ulterior motives. It was the smart way to defeat one thing with another. Er Xue and Ling Long were one bright and one dark. Chu Jinyao didn't see the turmoil and intrigues below, and she could do her own thing quietly.

Chu Jinyao felt Qi Rong's hostility when she first arrived in the capital. Although she didn't say anything, she felt a huge pressure in her heart towards this top noble lady who was a cousin and childhood sweetheart of Qin Yi. Now that Qi Rong has been solved without bloodshed, Chu Jinyao should be relieved, but she still feels uneasy for some reason.

"Your Highness, Qi Rong is your cousin after all. Didn't you say anything today?"

Qin Yi pretended to think for a while and said, "Nothing, probably just about studying when you were young."

Studying when you were young... Chu Jinyao felt complicated. Youth is such a beautiful age. For such a long time, Qi Rong and Qin Yi studied together and grew up together, and at that time, Chu Jinyao had not even been found by the Marquis of Changxing.

Qin Yi saw that Chu Jinyao was silent, and wondered if he had teased her too much? Qin Yi looked down at Chu Jinyao's eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Chu Jinyao said sullenly, "I just envy the childhood sweetheart friendship between Your Highness and Miss Qi Rong."

Sure enough. It was also Qin Yi's fault for being so mean, he had to be vague on purpose, and wait until the other person was unhappy, and then he would go over to comfort her. This cycle went on and on, and Qin Yi never got tired of it.

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's face silently. Chu Jinyao was annoyed by being stared at, and hummed softly and turned his head away. Qin Yi asked with a smile in his voice, "Are you jealous?"

Chu Jinyao was surprised in her heart, but she still said stubbornly: "No."

Qin Yi smiled and lifted Chu Jinyao's chin, looked straight into her eyes, raised his eyebrows and said: "You still say no?"

Chu Jinyao looked at the man in front of her with a smile on his face and a high-spirited person, and was really angry. Chu Jinyao made up her mind, suddenly stretched out her hands to wrap around Qin Yi's neck, and said: "I am jealous, what do you plan to do, Your Highness?"

Qin Yi's heart was hurt and itchy by Chu Jinyao's eyes. Feelings are probably the strongest and most fragile things in the world, strong enough to make people go against years of habits, and fragile enough that a little wind and rain can destroy it. This was the first time Qin Yi's heart was moved in so many years. He was surprised and curious, but also like a child taking his first steps. He was willing to break through his principles of many years and do his best to be good to another person, but he was also afraid that this was just his own enthusiasm.

Feelings need feedback and affirmation. Now Qin Yi suddenly saw the affirmation of this person in his heart from Chu Jinyao's eyes.

Qin Yi grew up in the palace and had seen so many love affairs that judging the true and false has almost become his instinct. He didn't believe in the nonsense in the words of the saints. If a woman doesn't mind taking a concubine, is generous and virtuous, and treats everyone equally, it's not because the woman has good character, it's because she doesn't love.

Qin Yi looked into Chu Jinyao's eyes and said silently in his heart: "I'm glad that you are jealous."

"Your Highness?" Chu Jinyao vaguely felt that Qin Yi wanted to say something, so she reminded him gently. Qin Yi came to his senses, shook his head and said: "Nothing. Qi Rong's matter...you don't have to take it to heart, she won't bother you again in the future."

"What about you, Your Highness?" Chu Jinyao leaned closer and asked, "I don't care about other women, I just want to know what you feel, Your Highness."

Qin Yi took the opportunity to put his arms around Chu Jinyao's waist, and held her warm and soft body in his arms, not to mention that she was particularly proactive. Qin Yi sighed, "Who did you learn this from?"

"There's no way. If I don't take the initiative, Your Highness will be seduced away by these childhood sweethearts. I only met Your Highness when I was thirteen years old. Who knows how many playmates and beauties you had before. Today you have the cousin from the Qi family, and in a few days there will be a few more sisters. Wouldn't I, an old friend, be forgotten long ago?"

"Nonsense." Qin Yi didn't like listening to the talks of these newcomers and old friends. It made him feel that he would lose the person in his arms. Qin Yi subconsciously rejected this feeling of being out of control. "Don't think about these things that didn't happen. There won't be anyone else, either in the past or in the future.

" "Really?"

"Of course."

"Why?" Chu Jinyao moved closer. Qin Yi understood her intention. Although he had a stern face, his eyes revealed his feelings: "You don't know?"

"I don't know." Chu Jinyao laughed as he spoke. With Qin Yi's personality, this was already the limit. There would be no result if he pressed further. Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao laughing like this, and he didn't know whether to be annoyed or pampered: "You are so disrespectful."

"It's just what you are used to. Besides, I only do this with you." Chu Jinyao loosened her arms and sat back in her original place. She got the answer and was satisfied. Of course, she didn't bother about Qi Rong anymore. The root cause of a woman's jealousy is the man, and the other woman is nothing. Chu Jinyao was in a good mood and diligently ground ink for Qin Yi: "Your Highness, you have worked hard reviewing official documents. I will grind ink for you."

But Qin Yi put down his pen and said, "If the Crown Princess really feels sorry for my hard work in court, she should not grind ink."

This person always says the most rude words in such a serious manner. Chu Jinyao's face gradually turned red: "You..."

"Come on, let's grind ink inside." Qin Yi stood up and hugged Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao's ears turned red, "You are vulgar! Hey, where are these memorials..."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
