Chapter 296: Compensation is as good as charity 1
Jin Yan didn't take Xiao Yue to heart before, but she thought about it again after what happened this time.
Xiao Yue's mother is the current queen after all. To be able to hold this position for so many years and protect Xiao Rong and Xiao Yue from growing up healthily must be an extraordinary person.
Although Xiao Yue has no brains, she is indeed decisive and cruel in her actions, and she cannot be underestimated.
When she was in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, she seemed to be really innocent and ignorant, but she didn't expect that it was all just pretending.
Or maybe there was someone behind her giving guidance.
No matter what, the relationship has been forged and Jinyan can't let her go.
No one told anyone about what happened in Zhaixing Tower that day. Xiao Yue didn't dare to say it. There was no need for Wen Yan and Jin Yan to say it. Xiao Tong was just a spectator, so of course he knew what he could and couldn't say.
As for the emperor, he probably didn't have much hope that his daughter would succeed, but it happened eventually, so he found an excuse to send something to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to express his condolences in a vague way.
This is how the Tian family is, even compensation is treated like charity.
But even if Wen Yan doesn't care, Jin Yan is not that generous. Since she returned to the capital, she has never taken the initiative to provoke others, but that doesn't mean that she won't fight back if others provoke her.
Time is still long, and she likes to figure it out slowly.
Xiao Yue's face was ruined. She didn't go out to see anyone for several days. She was so angry that she smashed a lot of things in the palace.
Jin Yan found a reason to ask Xiao Yuexi and others to go swimming in the lake together.
The weather at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn was a bit refreshing despite the hot weather. Jin Yan wore a maple leaf red dress. Her whole body changed from her usual sober elegance and added a lot of richness.
The painting boat had already stopped by the lake, and a long procession of carriages occupied the road near the lake. Young ladies from various families got out of the carriages.
A lot of posts were sent out, and a lot of people came.
This was the first time Jin Yan held such a banquet, and since she had not done such social activities for a long time, everyone naturally gave her face.
"If you arrive, you can board the ship first."
Jin Yan stood by the lake, her upright figure slim and slender, the breeze raised her skirt, and the small silver bells hanging on her waist jingled.
Her hair was blown by the wind, but it also made her face look white.
What a bright splash of color.
It was so strong that it stood out in this environment.
No one can ignore her!
The men couldn't help but secretly sigh that Princess Jiayu was becoming more and more beautiful, and the women also cast envious glances from time to time.
Jin Yan had a well-placed smile on her lips, and her every move was charming.
"Yanyan..."
Xiao Yi's eyes were fixed on her, trying to see some emotion on her face.
Jin Yan smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty Ninth Prince, please."
Yes, today was the first time that she sent a message to Xiao Yi at a private banquet, not only Xiao Yi, but also Xi Yunnuo.
This surprised them all.
Xiao Yi wanted to tell her that he dreamed about her more, but thinking of her previous indifference, he swallowed all the words that came to his lips.
He felt more and more that this matter was strange, and it was definitely not a coincidence. Although it was a dream, the feelings in the dream were so real.
She clearly loves him so deeply, and the friendship in her eyes makes people feel hot in their hearts.
There must be something wrong, and he will definitely figure it out.
Jin Yan turned her body away slightly and walked towards Jin An.
Because Xiao Yi's gaze made her feel uncomfortable, and the probing and possessive nature in it was really annoying.
Jin An knew what his sister was thinking with just one glance, so he hurriedly stood in front of her and held his hand towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi then looked away, said hello and walked to the boat.
"I heard that the newly found concubine of the household minister's family is also coming to participate in the lake tour. I don't know what kind of person she is."
"Newly found?"
"Isn't that right? You haven't heard of it yet! It was said that it was kept in a farm outside for many years and was only recently taken home."
"Why is this?"
"What else could it be? She's not favored. Her biological mother is a maid who works hard in the house. She somehow climbed into the old man's bed, which made Mr. You very angry. Later, she heard that she was in conflict with the legitimate daughter, so Just put it in the village and keep it."
"The eight characters are in conflict? I think she doesn't want her to stay in the capital..."
The discussion ended when the Youda family's carriage stopped not far away.
Yousiya is already married, and there is only one legitimate daughter in the You family, so those who come out of the carriage are all concubines. The moment Yun Zhi's face appeared, there was a gasp.
Yes, at the last palace banquet, Yun Zhi appeared as the woman that the Prince of Jin Palace liked. Not long after, she suddenly became the concubine of the Household Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
Jin Yan secretly raised her head and glanced at Jin An's expression. Seeing that he only glanced over and quickly looked away, with no other emotions coming from his face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, I only found out about this last night."
The post was sent out a few days ago, and she didn't know whether the You family would let her participate, but she couldn't take back the post she sent out, and there was nothing she could do.
Jin'an paused and glanced sideways, his eyebrows still gentle, "It's okay."
Although he said this, as the man came closer, the hand hanging by his side became visibly stiff.
"See Prince Jin, Princess..."
The soft voice came, like the spring breeze supporting the willows.
Jin Yan glanced over her body and smiled, "This girl looks familiar."
Yun Zhi paused, astonishment flashed in her eyes.
She could choose to admit that she was Yun Zhi from Prince Jin's Mansion, or she could pretend that she didn't recognize her and become just the concubine of the You family.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yan would raise such a difficult question just after they met.
"She looks exactly the same as Miss Yun Zhi from Prince Jin's Mansion. Could it be that they are the same person."
Someone on the side couldn't help but say something.
Someone immediately nodded in agreement.
Needless to say, how can there be two people who look exactly the same in the world?And it was such a coincidence that the concubine of the You family returned home just a few days after leaving Prince Jin's Mansion.
"How is that possible? They just look alike. I heard that the one from Prince Jin's Mansion is a maid. How could the daughter of the You family become a maid?"
Sun Rufang interjected gently.
She didn't want Yunzhi and Jin An to have anything to do with each other again.
Recently, she begged her family to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to test her words. All her original reserve was gone, and she just wanted to take advantage. As long as Prince Jin's Mansion relented, she would go to Jin'an even if she was to be a concubine.
Yun Zhi made her feel a great sense of crisis before. Even when she came here today, she even said a lot of flattering words to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan glanced at her when she heard this, but she said something human today.
She also didn't want Yun Zhi to have anything to do with Jin An anymore.
Since Yun Zhi was raised in the You family's village, she shouldn't have known that she was the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, but ended up working as a maid in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion. No matter what her motives were, she didn't want to admit it.
