Chapter 319 She is as thick-skinned as a city wall
When she woke up, she stared blankly at the tent ceiling, not even remembering how she got to bed.
"Princess, would you like to rest for a while?"
Haitang's voice brought her back to reality, and Jin Yan shook her head.
"Where is the national teacher?"
She looked at herself in front of the bronze mirror. Haitang skillfully tied up her hair. It was a light and simple bun, but it brought out all the advantages of her face.
"My lord is in the study."
"Ah."
He seems to rarely enter the palace recently.
Zhu Jinke's words rang in his ears yesterday. Wen Yan was very capable. What the emperor wanted him to calculate must not only be trivial matters, but he... wasn't able to calculate everything either.
Yes, everything has a destiny. If he knew everything in advance, wouldn't the emperor be able to control the entire country by controlling him?
Haitang inserted a white magnolia hairpin into her bun, "Master Zhu sent someone to send a message asking the princess if she wanted to go to the theater today, but she didn't say clearly what it was."
What else could it be? It must be Xiao Rong looking for food in a hurry.
There was such a fuss last night, and the matter may not have reached the emperor's ears, but the queen must have known about it.
If the queen knew about it, Xiao Rong would not be able to deal with the matter of selling the grain in private. He wanted to fill the gap, and he was in such a hurry, so he couldn't make it public yet, so he could only find the person who bought the grain before.
But how could Zhu Jinke sell it to him at the original price?
Jin Yan didn't have much contact with Xiao Rong. When she thought of him, she only had a pair of cloudy eyes and a pale face in her mind. Thinking about his current behavior in Ningxiang Tower, she could probably guess what it was like.
Before she could speak, Qian Ge came in again, "Someone is coming from the palace. The queen summoned the princess."
Jin Yan was stunned, "Do you know what it is?"
Qiange shook her head, "I asked, but I didn't ask."
"Well, I'll go right now."
She ate something casually, asked Haitang's people to reject Zhu Jinke, got on the carriage of the Imperial Master's Mansion and set off.
The palace attendants beside the queen were already waiting at the palace gate. After seeing Jinyan, they led her inside. Jinyan could not hold her calm all the way, but she was stunned without saying a word.
Fengyi Palace is majestic and majestic, but also exquisite in every aspect.
The current queen is the original imperial concubine and the concubine who was in the palace at that time. She married into the palace together with the former queen.
Jin Yan came here alone for the first time. She was led to a room by the nuns in the palace. Through the gauze curtain, she looked at the person sitting on the main seat. As soon as the person raised her hand, a palace maid came over immediately. Open the gauze curtain.
Jin Yan was busy saluting.
"No need to be polite. I got up today and looked at the newly blooming flowers outside. The color is very similar to Princess Jiayu. They both look stunning. It happened that I haven't seen them for a while, so I asked someone to take you there. Come in and show me, Princess, don’t dislike it.”
"The ministers dare not."
Jin Yan lowered her head and said something.
She knew that the person above her was looking at her, and there was no hint of surprise in those eyes, but more of inquiry.
"Sit down. The snow water collected last winter is brewed into this year's spring tea. The princess must taste it carefully."
The voice from above came again. Jinyan thanked him and sat aside.
"How is it? Is it good?"
"The things in Fengyi Palace are naturally excellent."
Jin Yan said with a smile.
"What happened to Yue'er last time was that she was ignorant, but I only have these two children, so I naturally have to consider them."
"The children born to the concubines in the harem are all the Queen's children."
Jin Yan complimented.
The queen is the legitimate mother. Even if another prince ascends the throne in the future, she will still be the queen mother.
But obviously, the queen wanted more than that.
"Ah……"
There was laughter from above, but Jin Yan gritted her teeth and said nothing.
"I think that Princess Jiayu is a smart person. Although my son is incompetent, his appearance takes after his father. He is also a dignified and charming person. Although the princess is determined to find a son-in-law, she really meets the one she likes. It’s nice to get married, isn’t it?”
"The recruitment of a son-in-law is decided by the father and the mother. They are reluctant to let the daughter leave home, and do not want to cling to the powerful. They only hope that the daughter will be safe and go well, so naturally they have no such requirements for the daughter."
Jin Yan blames Jin Yuchuan and Su Xihe without leaving any trace.
"That's right. If my Yue'er had such a delicate heart as yours, she wouldn't be like that on a tree. She really likes the Imperial Master, and the Emperor is relieved. It's a pity..."
After saying this, Jin Yan felt the temperature in the room drop sharply.
The queen is a queen after all, and she has been able to control the power of someone who has been in power for many years. Now she is in Fengyi Palace. If she really wants to do something, Jinyan really has nothing to do.
Even Haitang was blocked out, and she didn't dare to take the secret guard with her.
But she dared not do anything bet the queen.
"It's a pity that the Imperial Master should be a man in heaven and refuse to be tempted by anyone. It would be fine if he stays like this forever. If one day he has a sweetheart, how can I let my daughter suffer such injustice?"
She said this while staring at Jin Yan.
But Jin Yan lowered her eyes and didn't let her see the sarcasm in her eyes.
Xiao Yue wanted to get Wen Yan, so she did whatever it took.
A year ago, Xiao Yue designed Wen Yan to accidentally kill her brother and let everyone see the third prince's affair with the first palace maid. The emperor became angry and banned her from the palace for a year.
During this year, Xiao Yueming pretended to be grounded, but in fact, he had an affair with his prospective consort and eventually planned to kill him.
So, she became a princess who lost her consort before she got married, cried in front of the emperor, talked about the grievances she had suffered over the years, and talked about Wen Yan's arrogant temperament, and finally...
The emperor, who was already dissatisfied with Wen Yan, acquiesced in what she did.
What's funny is that it was Xiao Yue who clearly did the wrong thing, but the queen still blamed Wen Yan for not being too restrained and not letting their scheme succeed.
Her skin is as thick as a city wall!
It's no wonder that while holding Zhu Hongjin's money in the palace, he threatened Zhu Jinke with Zhu Hongjin's wealth and life.
When she said so much at this time, she was just beating herself up.
How could Jinyan not know?
But she played dumb.
I saw her raising her head with a pair of innocent eyes, "The Queen is the mother of Princess Yue, so naturally she will not let her be wronged. Does it have anything to do with the wronged Princess Yue?"
"Do you really not understand what I'm talking about?"
"..."
Jin Yan only smiled and acted like a wooden beauty.
"The Emperor is coming..."
The sound from outside made Jinyan panic in her heart.
He secretly glanced at the queen again, and his heart suddenly sank when he met her cold gaze.
How could the Queen not guess what Zhu Jinke could guess?
As the master of the harem, the queen should know the emperor's thoughts.
Thinking of this, Jin Yan's heart was filled with thoughts.
But she still had something going on. Before entering the palace, she had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Prince Jin's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yan came with the emperor.
Also, since he was brought in from the Imperial Master's Mansion, there was no reason why Wen Yan didn't know about it.
