Chapter 233 Xiao Tong had a plan
Wen Yan only said that even if Prince Jin's Mansion protects you like this, he may not be able to make the decision on your marriage, let alone that as a princess, no matter how bad her reputation is, people will still care about her.
Yes.
Jin Yan understood immediately.
What's more, Xiao Yuexi is still Xiao Tong's weakness.
If someone really said something in the emperor's ears, everything will be powerless once the imperial edict is issued.
I think Xiao Tong must have heard something recently.
"What do you think?"
After a long time, Xiao Yuexi had stopped crying. When she was in a daze, Jin Yan asked.
"I do not know."
"Has the prince discussed this with you in detail?"
"He said I can choose what I like, or he can help me find it. It's up to me."
Jin Yan was in a daze, and Xiao Yuexi looked at her longingly, "I think everything is fine now, as long as I'm not allowed to leave the capital, that's fine."
"You are a princess, so naturally you don't have to leave the capital. Even if you get married, you will still live in the princess mansion."
"You have always been an idea person, but what do you have in mind?"
Jin Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xiao Yi would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor only five years after his death in his previous life. It would only be eight or nine years from now. In other words, the emperor would only have eight or nine years to live.
If Xiao Tong fights for it, the throne may not be his.
Although the prince looked ill on the surface, he was actually a cold-hearted master. Moreover, his current illness was not fatal, so he might not be able to compete with Xiao Yi.
It's just that from the perspective of Xiao Yuexi's friend, she can talk about these things. From the perspective of Prince Jin's Mansion, she is now a member of the Jin family, so she really can't say too much.
But after a while, her mind was full of thoughts.
"Do you even care about me anymore?"
Xiao Yuexi whimpered and looked like she was about to cry again.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have come to the capital in the first place. How did I end up like this? Now I can't even take charge of my own affairs. I..."
While she was twitching, she would look at Jin Yan's expression from time to time.
Jin Yan was so angry that she slapped her on the head, "Did the prince ask you to ask me?"
Xiao Yuexi stopped crying immediately.
But a pair of wet eyes were still staring at her, lips pursed, looking guilty.
"That's not true. Brother Huang said that you are very smart and have great ideas. If I am unsure about something, I will ask you."
Jin Yan was stunned.
"What else did your royal brother say?"
"The rest is gone."
It was because there was no other advice that Xiao Yuexi felt empty in her heart. Her previous delusions were all in vain. Only then did she realize that the man was just a mirror, and she was just hot-headed.
Jinyan could see her disappointment and couldn't say much more.
Her guess now is also correct. Xiao Tong may have guessed her identity as early as in Fengshou Town and just pretended not to know. When he returned to the capital, he secretly observed her for a long time.
Prince Jin's Mansion's preference for her was obvious. He probably had his own considerations in sending Xiao Yuexi to her.
Thinking of this, she sneered in her heart again.
Fortunately for a scheming person like him, he was really doing Xiao Yuexi's favor, otherwise this little girl would have been eaten to the point of not being left with any bones, and she would still be helping count money.
"Yanyan, please help me."
Xiao Yuexi moved the stool to her side, grabbed her arm and shook it.
"Otherwise, I'll go out to eat, drink, whore, and gamble, and I'll be good at everything. Then I'll do a few other bastard things, and let my father take away my position as princess. What do you think?"
"You must have made a lot of enemies before. If you don't have this layer of protection, will the prince always be by your side to protect you?"
"Isn't there still you?"
"You really know how to talk."
Jin Yan said angrily.
Xiao Yuexi glanced at her secretly, "Are you angry? If you are angry, forget it. I will let the emperor choose. It's the same anyway."
She looked resigned.
Jin Yan was soft-hearted, but she couldn't bear to say anything.
The two watched the singing and dancing for a while before leaving.
After Jin Yan returned, she was not surprised to see Xiao Tong in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
Counting the time, it was time for Xiao Tong to come find her.
"You should be able to guess why I came to you."
Xiao Tong sat at the head of the table, covering his lips with Sipa to hold back the cough, his voice was moist and full of determination.
Jin Yan shook her head, "I don't know."
"Ah……"
He chuckled, not annoyed.
Xiao Tong stood up from his seat, stood in front of Jin Yan, bowed his hands and bowed.
Jin Yan's face moved slightly, and she quickly stood up and bowed back, "What are you doing, Your Highness? You really upset my daughter!"
Xiao Tong smiled bitterly. He knew that Jin Yan definitely didn't understand and was pretending to be stupid now.
Jin Yan took a sip of the tea soup and said calmly, "Your Highness has helped me before. I just have a good relationship with Yue Xi. I can't decide on other things."
Everyone knows some things well, and she doesn't need to explain them too clearly.
She couldn't be the master of Prince Jin's Mansion, and she didn't want to do it.
Moreover, the emperor hates the collusion between his prince and his ministers. If he expresses his stance now, it may not be a good thing for Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong smiled lightly, "Of course, if it's the same as before, Yue Xi... Princess Lao will help her plan more."
"I'm very curious, why doesn't Your Highness do it yourself?"
Jin Yan asked with a smile.
Xiao Tong didn't know what he thought of, and he was stunned for a moment.
There were some things he couldn't let start.
That day, Xiao Yuexi lost her temper and drank wine. He happened to bump into her and wanted to teach her a few words, but who knew that she started to cry and he let her go in a moment of soft-heartedness.
Who knew that this girl would take advantage of him not paying attention...
Unable to think about too much, Xiao Tong came to his senses and just smiled, "The princess should know that weakness is a fatal weakness for Gu."
Jin Yan looked at him deeply and believed his words for the time being.
"I still have a little question, is Yue Xi really the emperor's child?"
"...My father was in jail at that time, so where did he find the energy to have fun?"
Jin Yan understood and nodded.
When Xiao Tong left, Jin Yan walked to the door and looked at his lonely back, covered in frost, feeling inexplicably tragic under the moonlight.
She thought about his words carefully. Weakness was a fatal weakness for him.
In this life, Xiao Tong will not die young. As long as he lives, the prince's halo will be on him, and he will have nowhere to hide.
He was afraid that he wanted to fight for it, but whether he wanted to fight for himself or for Xiao Yuexi, Jin Yan didn't know.
But there is a vague answer in my heart. I think in the eyes of men, what they pursue is power.
As for Xiao Yuexi, he has already found a way for her.
The Princess Mansion doesn't need princes or nobles, nor does it need many smart and motivated people. It's best to have someone who is soft and easy to bully, and who Xiao Yuexi can conquer. .
