Chapter 12: First Encounter With ShiZi (Part 1)

While in RongNingTang, Qin Yi was so bored that he unconsciously stared at Lin Xi Ning. Then, he saw Lin Xi Ning’s servant coming over and said something to him. As he was quite a distance away, it was naturally impossible for Qin Yi to hear their conversation. However, he could recognise the words ‘Crown Prince’ from the shape of his lips.

After he was done listening, there was no change in Lin Xi Ning’s expression but soon after, he went out making some excuses.

Chapter 11: Prince Residence’s Luck (Part 2)

Old Chu Furen carried on from Chu Zhu’s words and put on a serious face, “Even though the Prince Consort wants to choose two young ladies from our family, these words are not confirmed. There are so many families in TaiYuan and if there are suitable young ladies in other families, the Prince Consort would definitely choose the other. In a few days time, when the Residence of Prince Huai Ling holds a banquet, the Prince Consort will choose the most suitable two among all of the unmarried daughters. So you must not be complacent and slack. The County Princess is twelve years of age and since the study companion is to accompany the Princess to study, then the age difference must not be big. So Eldest Young Lady and Eighth Young Lady need not have to participate.”

Eldest Young Lady, Chu Jin Xian, stood up and bowed to Old Furen to show her compliance. She was already seventeen years of age and the Eldest Di-daughter of the family clan. As her family position was noble, even if she was of suitable age, Old Furen would not let Chu Jin Xian to be a study companion for others. It was not a study companion of a noble Princess, so why the need for Eldest Di-daughter? As for Eighth Young Lady, Chu Jin Zi, she was only six this year and thus was not possible for her too. Therefore, the suitable people were concentrated between ages twelve and fifteen, the ideal being twelve and thirteen like Chu Jin Yao.

Chapter 9: Older Biao Brother, Younger Biao Sister (Part 2)

Chu Jin Miao’s smile froze. Ever since Chu Jin Yao came, her identity had become more and more awkward. Things that she had originally thought were hers, were slightly changed now. And as there were many people in this large household, it was inevitable for her to hear some gossip. And now Chu Zhu still instructed her to stand with Chu Jin Yao to compare…

It did not matter to Chu Jin Yao as she had long been accustomed to being looked upon. However, when Chu Jin Miao almost reached Chu Jin Yao and was two steps away, she refused to go any further.

Chapter 9: Older Biao Brother, Younger Biao Sister (Part 1)

Chu Jin Yao secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, there was still string and the jade pendant was hanging tightly around her neck. Otherwise, it would have been very bad!

Rather displeased, she turned around to see who was behind scaring others. She discovered that it was a clean and upright young gentleman.

Chapter 8: Helping One Other

After Qin Yi was sent to the border of Great Tong, the Imperial Tutors were very worried about it. However, he felt what the eyes did not see was regarded as clean. He was really fed up with that dog couple.

The frontier was poor and bitter, the guards could not relax even for a moment. Qin Yi brought people to the border a few times to pursue the Tatar cavalry. During the first lunar month, these Tatar younglings had harassed the commoners and robbed a few things before fleeing. He led some people and chased for five hundred Li (modern: 1 Li = 500m or 1,640 feet). When he surrounded the Tatar cavalry, he planned to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, but there were some accidents when he was not paying attention.

Chapter 7: Life in Danger

The courtyard that Chu Jin Yao resided in also had five rooms at the front. There were two wing rooms, at the east and west, and one at the south. Chu Jin Yao stayed in the main room, the eastern room was the study and the western the bedroom. She slept in the westernmost room and the western wing was usually where she spent most of her day. Instead, the main hall was not used and wasted. She would often do needlework and meet the servants here.

Now Ding Xiang and Qiu Ju brought the sewing basket over and stood at the eastern room to wait for Chu Jin Yao. Qiu Ju caressed the brocade nostalgically as she asked, “Young Lady, this bolt of brocade is ten Zhang (1 Zhang = 1 feet) and since the clothes are used for meeting guests, then the pleats must be made tighter together. That would need at least two Zhang and the jacket would also require one Zhang. This is only for the outer layer and the inner lining will need to be cut separately. Will we be doing it ourselves or handing over to the embroidery house?
