Chapter 335 The Queen takes advantage of Zhu Hongjin again
"Why didn't you write me a reply?"
"..."
“If you don’t want to write, don’t force it.”
"..."
"everything is fine."
A few characters with dragons and phoenixes occupying most of the blank space on the rice paper.
The handwriting is sloppier than last time. They must be very busy in Pingzhou City.
After hearing a memorial delivered by the prince, the emperor had the heads of three people chopped off. They were all corrupt officials during the previous round of flood control.
Such results can be achieved in just a few days, allowing the government and the public to once again express their affirmation to the prince.
Jin Yan occasionally heard praise for Xiao Tong from Jin Yuchuan, saying that he knew how to judge the situation and was sharp-edged. His prestige in the government and the public was no longer comparable to that of Xiao Rong and Xiao Yi.
Also, Xiao Tong has been the prince for so many years and has never disappointed his ministers in political affairs.
The previous idea of changing the prince was based on his health. Even in the years when his health was not good, there were still few people in the court supporting him.
Without the support of his mother's family, and the current queen has her own legitimate son, it is impeccable for him to be able to do this.
He was so good that he overshadowed Xiao Yi's sharpness and pushed Xiao Rong to the ground and rubbed him.
When she received the reply again, Jinyan felt less panic about that day. She wrote a lot and talked about many things in the capital.
By the time she finished writing, it was already three pages full. She had never known that she was such a talkative person. She stared at the rice paper where the ink was still wet and was stunned for a long time.
I went through everything again, thought about it again and again, and added a sentence at the end, waiting for you to come back.
When Jinyan handed the letter to Baiwei, he touched the thickness, looked at her thoughtfully, and instantly grinned.
"The princess is finally willing to write a letter!"
Jin Yan:......
After thinking about it for a while, I laughed out loud. I don't want to write letters at all, but I always have something to say.
A few days later, Zhu Jinke came to see him in a hurry. Looking at the tired look on his face, he guessed that he was here for Zhu Hongjin.
"My sister was made to kneel in the rain for a whole day by the Queen yesterday. Now she has a high fever and no doctor has been able to see her. Can you... can you help me go see her?"
After he finished speaking, he felt embarrassed himself.
Jin Yan nodded without any objection.
Before the opening of Mingyue Tower, Zhu Jinke suddenly proposed to redistribute the proportion. He gave Jinyan and Xiao Yuexi [-]% of the profit. Although he did not say the reason, Jinyan knew that it was for Zhu Hongjin.
The Flower Viewing Building was bought by the Queen at a low price, and now it is under Xiao Rong's hands. Zhu Jinren took over.
But when they discovered that the 12 people's prostitution contracts in Flower Viewing House were in their own hands, the Queen became furious.
Without them, the Flower Viewing Building would be just an empty shell. They are the soul.
Zhu Jinke never engages in loss-making business. If he doesn't make money, that's the limit.
It's not that he doesn't care about Zhu Hongjin's life or death, but that he knows that repeatedly giving in will only make people more greedy.
After a few days, the business of Flower Viewing House really plummeted.
On the contrary, Mingyue Tower became the first building in the capital.
After the success of the last banquet hosted by the Zhu family, publicity has been launched.
Every day, many carriages depart from the center of the city and head to the east of the city, a once desolate place.
Even many restaurants and teahouses in the capital have attracted customers.
When something happened to Zhu Hongjin at this time, it was obvious that the queen deliberately tried to tease Zhu Jinke, but Zhu Jinke was unable to send the imperial doctor there, so it was probably the queen who blocked the key point.
Jinyan changed into palace clothes, with layers of peonies embroidered with gold threads blooming on the hem of her skirt. Her hair was adorned with hairpin rings and pearls, and her steps were lively and lively.
Her post was delivered to Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian is Su Xihe's cousin. She is over 40 years old and has no children, but she is highly respected by the emperor.
Jin Yan wanted to call her aunt when she saw her.
Jin An had told her that her aunt was a person who cared very much about the family's dignity, and she entered the palace in order to consolidate the family's power.
Therefore, she will definitely accept Jinyan's post and let her enter the palace.
I have long heard that in recent years, the virtuous concubine has been in and out of society, but because of her relationship with the emperor, she can be regarded as the only one in the harem. Even the queen and the noble concubine have to give her some face.
When Jin Yan saw her, she was copying calligraphy and painting. The maid waiting around saw Jin Yan and reminded her softly.
She paused and looked up.
Their eyes met, and the corner of her mouth raised into a smile, gentle, indifferent, quiet, and a little numb.
"coming."
As she said that, she put down her pen and sat down at the main seat, "The last time I saw you was more than ten years ago. In the blink of an eye, you have become more refined. I have indeed inherited your mother's beauty."
The palace maid served tea, and she waved her hand to let people go out first.
Jin Yan saluted and sat quietly before her, "I should have gone to the palace to pay my respects as soon as possible. I hope my aunt won't take offense."
"I heard that you rarely attended banquets for a long time after coming to Beijing. I guess you are a person who doesn't like liveliness. In this case, I naturally don't blame you."
"These are some snacks I brought from outside the palace. I wonder if my aunt is used to eating them."
She had already seen the thing in her hand. When Jin Yan mentioned it, Concubine Xian only glanced at it, with the gentle smile still on her lips.
"Have a heart."
Then he said, "It's rare for you to take the initiative to see me, but what's the matter?"
"Actually... I want to see the noble man Hong, as I was entrusted by my friend."
"We are pretty good friends."
Concubine Xian said with a smile. When she smiled, there were fine wrinkles at the end of her eyes, but she looked very comfortable and natural.
Jin Yan did not retort, "Sorry for disturbing my aunt."
"It doesn't matter, I'll send you there soon."
Listening to what she said, she still had something to say.
Jin Yan listened respectfully.
"The queen summoned you to the palace last time and had the intention of using you to please the emperor. Although you avoided it, but now there is no one from a big family who will not send someone to the palace. You go back and talk to your mother."
Her voice was very gentle, and Jin Yan nodded, "Well, mother is already thinking about this matter, and she will be sent in sooner or later."
Concubine Xian stared at her for a while and said, "I see that you are also smart. Go and tell Zhu Hongjin that the emperor likes people who are simple-minded and simply depend on him for life."
Jin Yan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she looked up blankly.
Concubine Xian was already tasting the snacks she had brought to her.
After just a small taste, she smiled again, sincerely, "It tastes good. I haven't eaten such good food in many years."
"I'll give it to my aunt later."
When Jin Yan blurted out these words, Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment.
She seemed to think of something, and suddenly came back to her senses, her calm eyes quietly filled with sadness.
After a long time, I heard her sigh softly, "Okay."
Jinyan chatted with her for a while, until she saw that she seemed sleepy, she left and went to find Zhu Hongjin.
