C114

After the twenty-third day of the third month of the eighth lunar month, the imperial court had begun to rest. There was no need to go back to the morning assembly. Occasionally, when he was free, Jin Chupei would go to the medicine hut to take a seat and play chess with Ji Zi. Even though he knew that Sun Jinzi would not come, but hearing some things about him, Jin Chupei felt that he was closer to Sun Jinzi.

A few days ago, he had also been invited by the First Prince to the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest. However, when he saw the entire room filled with spring lights and birds chirping and dancing, Jin Chupei couldn't take it anymore.

The palace was already constantly being handed out golden invitation cards, which were sent to the masters' residences. Presumably, there would be palace feast in the palace by New Year's Eve. I wonder if Sun Jinzi will participate in it.

Jin Chupei longed to see her, but he did not want her to be seen by so many people. She could not be desecrated by anyone.

As a concubinage, naturally, Sun Jinzi couldn't attend such occasions, but the Old Mistress Qian still allowed her to accompany him.

Sun Jinzi did not refuse, although she did not like such an occasion, but when she thought of the possibility of Jin Chupei seeing her in shock, Sun Jinzi could not help but smile in her heart.

In the carriage, only Qian Linxi and her were there, while his grandfather and grandmother were in the carriage, not the other way around.

Qian Linxi did not look much on the surface, but the kernels revealed her uneasy feelings. Sun Jinzi also noticed it, but when she thought about how he was the same when he attacked the first time, she started to cherish him a little.

Cousin sister Xi Er, you will be with me when we enter later.

Although he looked a little unnatural on the surface, Qian Linxi still nodded. After all, this Sun Jinzi was still a Lady, he should have seen the world before.

"What, Cousin Sister Zi Er entered the Imperial Palace?"

Just as she was about to say something, Sun Jinzi swallowed her words.

"I've only been here once, but it's good to have some help, don't you think, cousin?"

Qian Linchuan did not reply, but the corner of his mouth curled up a little. After not seeing his for a few days, this Cousin Sister Zi Er had become a little different from before.

Sensing that the carriage had stopped, without waiting for Coachman's report, Qian Linchuan lifted the Car Curtain.

The carriage had to go to the gates of the palace, and they had to go in on foot. After being helped out of the carriage by Qian Linchuan, Sun Jinzi and Qian Linxi hurried over to help Liushi.

Sun Jinzi also did not expect that the jade concubine would actually send someone to wait at the entrance of the palace to carry the Liushi inside.

"Zi Er, Xi Er is still young and inexperienced, watch her properly when you get inside. Don't let him cause any trouble."

Being said like this by his grandfather, how could Qian Linxi be unhappy? However, he had no way to refute grandfather and could only obediently lower his head to follow beside Sun Jinzi.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I will always be with Little Sister Xi Er."

Sun Jinzi held Qian Linxi's hand. Feeling her struggling a little, yet obediently letting herself hold his hand, Sun Jinzi laughed in her heart. This girl had a much worse temper than when she was young. She even liked to hold a grudge. It had been almost a month, but she was still sulking.

Today, he would most likely meet the Fourth Prince again. He could only hope that Qian Linxi did not go overboard.

The two of them followed behind the sedan chair. They felt that the palace was getting deeper and deeper, and their hearts were tense. They had to be cautious inside, as there weren't any females that were weak.

After greeting the Jade Fragment Palace, she also got off the sedan. Turning around to look at the pair of young girls standing behind him, Liushi was still a little worried.

"Both of you, follow your grandmother and don't act without authorization."

Sun Jinzi nodded, and looked at the entrance of the Jade Fragment Palace. She came to the Jade Fragment Palace a few months ago, and now that she thought about it, it felt like yesterday.

When the palace maids in front of the palace saw this person, even though they didn't recognize Liushi, they knew that the wife who sat on her sedan was definitely an ordinary person. She quickly invited the person into the palace.

The deeper they went, the more Sun Jinzi's heart tightened. If not for the fact that the female servants of the officials were being entertained by Yu Fei, the two of them would not need to go to Jade Fragment Palace. Sun Jinzi only hoped that Yu Fei wouldn't use her marriage to find a topic to talk about later.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Qian Linxi looking in every direction. Sun Jinzi quickly pulled on her sleeves as well. This palace was not like the outside world. If others saw her appearance, saying that she had no manners would be a small matter.

Even if Qian Linxi was unwilling, he could only obediently follow behind the Liushi. There were already quite a few ladies in the hall. When he saw Sun Jinzi, Sun Jinmeng's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment. She didn't expect a concubinage like her to participate in this kind of event …

Seeing the Liushi bow, the two of them followed suit. Sun Jinzi did not move about randomly. She only looked at the black, shiny ground, and saw the shadows very clearly. Going there also caused a touch of coldness to surge out from the bottom of her heart.

"Old Mistress Qian, no need to be so courteous, please take a seat."

The Liushi was also not polite. After she sat down, Sun Jinzi and Qian Linxi obediently stood behind her.

"Zi Er, long time no see, come over quickly for This Palace to take a look."

Sun Jinzi also didn't expect that Yu Fei would notice him so quickly, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward. After thinking about it, he kneeled down.

"Oh? Why are you being so courteous? Quickly get up."

Yu Fei signaled with her eyes and mama at the side hurriedly pulled Sun Jinzi over to Yu Fei.

"Raise your head and let This Palace see. It's been a few days since we last met, why are you still shy?"

As Yu Fei smiled, the Liushi could only smile along with her. However, he felt a little unhappy in his heart because the emperor had not mentioned this matter again, so he naturally had to let it go. However, seeing Yu Fei's attitude, he was not willing to let it go.

Seeing Sun Jinzi's expression, Yu Fei instinctively flashed a look of displeasure, and very quickly, a hint of a smile appeared on her face. I was wondering why this child didn't dare to raise her head to meet people. It turns out that after a few days of not seeing her, she has become so beautiful. "

The moment Yu Fei opened her mouth, the madams in the audience also chimed in, "That's right, the Sun family's Second Miss is truly a rare Beautiful."

"That's right, this Second Miss Sun is not one bit inferior to this young miss."

"This was taught well by the Lady Qian."

There were some voices of agreement in the hall, but no one noticed that Zhong's's face had already darkened. She wanted to get up, but was stopped by her mother, who shook her head lightly.

Sun Jinmeng also sat by his mother's side, feeling wronged. She bit her lips, not daring to let her tears fall. She did not know that Sun Jinzi, a concubinage, would actually be praised to the heavens. It was still not certain if she would be able to marry to First Prince, but Imperial Concubine Yu was still treating her so well. If Sixth Prince's mother was still a queen, Sun Jinzi would not be the one to grow up here. However, her future mother-in-law was stupid enough to poison his son and drag him into it.

When Sun Jinzi raised her head, she saw Sun Jinmeng and her daughter; she did not expect them to be so impatient.

Towards these praises, Sun Jinzi did not take them seriously. The ability of everyone to speak human words and speak nonsense was something she did not dare underestimate. Even though Yu Fei hated him so much, she still kept on praising him, causing Sun Jinzi to feel a chill down her spine.

"You girls would also find it boring to chat with us women. Why don't you go outside the hall and take a look?"

Once Liushi opened her mouth, Yu Fei had no choice but to let go of Sun Jinzi's hand and let her return to Liushi's place, watching as she and the other girl that Liushi had brought along walked out.

Qian Linxi more or less felt that it was not easy for Sun Jinzi. After all, if she really married into the First Prince, Sun Jinzi's days would not be easy. This praise, other than wanting to tell others that Sun Jin was from the First Prince, was probably meant to make Sun Jinzi the target of public criticism. The eyes of the young ladies just now were all unfriendly.

Only after Sun Jinzi's figure had disappeared from the palace gate did Yu Fei withdraw her gaze. She felt that Sun Jinzi was similar to Yu Fei, thinking that the emperor was also bewitched by that woman, she couldn't like Sun Jinzi either.

After leaving the palace, Sun Jinzi heaved a sigh of relief as she couldn't feel the gazes roaming all over her body. She wasn't afraid of others looking at her, but those eyes that were like wolves and tigers made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Qian Linxi vaguely remembered that they had walked in from the left path, but his grandfather and the others did not walk in this direction. When she thought of the figure that had been lingering at the bottom of her heart, she felt an unbearable itch in her heart.

Seeing that Sun Jinzi was just walking beside him, deep in thought, Qian Linxi also quietly reached out her finger towards her ear.

"Yo, I can't find my earring."

Sun Jinzi was shocked, and couldn't help but look at her ears, only to see that her right ear was missing an ornament inlaid with a pearl. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart. Even if Qian Linxi's status wasn't noticed by too many people, if it was discovered, it would be disrespectful in front of the palace.

But now, it was impossible to find another earring of the same kind. He could only look for it.

"Then let's hurry and look for it. Maybe we can still find it."

Sun Jinzi looked in that direction, then headed towards that direction. Qian Linxi watched Sun Jinzi's movements, then began to imitate her as he searched along the road. However, that small head would raise its head from time to time, searching for something.

It was just that Sun Jinzi who was focused on searching at the front did not notice anything.

Just as he was about to reach a place that she was unfamiliar with, Sun Jinzi stopped in her tracks. She only thought that she had lost her earring and was currently upset. Even if she had no other choice, she could only comfort Qian Linxi.

"It's okay, it's okay to lose an earring. But do you remember where it was lost? "

"I … I …"

"If you really can't think of anything, then forget it. We'll look for it again."

Seeing Qian Linxi in such a difficult situation, Sun Jinzi did not ask her again, if she was 80% sure that she would be able to find her.

Right now, it was still early in the morning. Although there were a lot of eunuchs and maids coming and going, they were all very busy, and seeing Qian Linxi's earring, it was not very eye-catching, so it should not have been noticed by the hurried maids.

Just as Sun Jinzi lowered her head, Qian Linxi's expression changed as she prepared to walk forward.

When Sun Jinzi realized something was amiss, she was already far away. It was already too late to drag her back.
