Chapter 398 Entering the palace to meet an old friend
Early the next morning, Jin Yan and Wen Yan took a carriage to the palace together.
After coming down, he went to Zhaixing Pavilion, while she turned around and went to the harem.
All the concubines should be in the Queen's Fengyi Palace to pay their respects. Jin Yan was leisurely strolling around the Imperial Garden.
When the time was almost up, he went to Xian Fei's palace.
Concubine Xian must have said hello in advance. When Jin Yan passed by, the palace officials took her in directly when they saw her.
Xia Qingzhi was in Concubine Xian's room, and she could hear the voices inside, which were gentle and cozy.
"coming."
"Quick, sit down."
Before Jin Yan could salute, Concubine Xian said with a smile.
She first went to see Xia Qingzhi, and saw that her complexion was okay, her eyebrows were clear, and her heart was more at ease.
"I said she would definitely come over when she returns to the capital. Is that right?"
Concubine Xian joked, and the color returned to her face. Although there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, they did not affect the soft light around her at all.
She changed her appearance and became more lively and gentle, which surprised Jin Yan.
Xia Qingzhi held Jin Yan's hand and looked at each other. Although she didn't say a word, she seemed to have thousands of thoughts to say.
"You young people, go have some fun, I'm tired."
Concubine Xian whispered, and asked the people below to invite Zhu Hongjin, saying that she had a trick she wanted to teach her.
After the palace official received the order and Jinyan thanked her, Xia Qingzhi took her to the next room.
The room is located on the east side, and the furnishings are simple. Everything may not be as good as those in Xia Qingzhi's boudoir in Prince Jin's Mansion.
"This is a palace, and there are corresponding standards for food and clothing. Besides, I have been in the palace for a while now, and I have never been favored. It is good to have this."
Seeing what Jin Yan was thinking, Xia Qingzhi hurriedly said something.
"Ah."
Jin Yan nodded slightly.
Because her affair with Jin Ran had already made the emperor unhappy, and now he sent a lady in name from Prince Jin's Mansion to the palace, a serious person would think that Prince Jin's Mansion looked down on the royal family.
It is normal for the emperor to be cold-hearted.
The emperor must not have wanted to see Xia Qingzhi enter the palace that day.
People in high positions cannot tolerate such slights.
So her life in the palace will not be easy.
"Feel sorry."
Jin Yan lowered her head and said, "It's meaningless to talk about this now. Once my sister arrives in the palace, if she wants to be free, I'm afraid... but you have to be patient for a few years and wait until one day you have a chance to go out."
"you……"
Xia Qingzhi was really startled, and the words stuck in her throat for a long time. She looked around hurriedly, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she whispered, "You can't say this nonsense, I choose my own path." Yes, I know how to go."
"Actually, before you came back, Jinyuan had already asked the people in the house to show me her family. Do you know who it is?"
"Who?"
"Wang family, Wang Chen. On the surface, he is a wealthy family, but I have inquired about it. On the surface, Wang Chen is a humble young man. In fact, he is a very small-minded man who fights evil. When he was only 12 years old, he accidentally beat someone to death. And was sent away by the Wang family to hide out for several years. These things are not difficult to find out, and Jinyuan may not be unaware of it, but the princess does not care about things, and the prince and the prince are busy with business. If Jinyuan really brings it up, no one will speak for me. I’m afraid…”
"I don't mean to complain, it's just that we were discarded in the backyard and no one cared about us. Our biological parents abandoned us, and Prince Jin's Mansion didn't really accept us. I'm a person who doesn't want to fight for it. In the end, naturally Still abandoned. Yan Yan, to be honest, you may be the only one who really sees us, and I am grateful to you."
"It was an emergency that day. If I hadn't come out, the title would have fallen on Li Yingying. I know you have a lot of doubts about her. She is also a thoughtful person. If she gets restless in the harem, after all, she is from Prince Jin's Mansion. Those who go out will inevitably be implicated."
As expected, Li Yingying played tricks later on regardless of the interests of Prince Jin's Palace. If she hadn't been clever enough to avoid it and something like that happened to the person named by the emperor to enter the palace, the reputation accumulated by Prince Jin's Palace over the years would have been destroyed in one day.
Xia Qingzhi saw it very clearly and didn't want Jinyan to feel guilty about it.
They regarded her as a member of Prince Jin's Mansion, and it was right for her to make some contribution to Prince Jin's Mansion.
After coming out of Xia Qingzhi's place, Jin Yan felt heavy. It was clear that she had made the right decision, but she felt disappointed at the same time.
She suddenly hated herself.
That day, when she saw Xia Qingzhi's eyes following Ren Wuyang's figure, she was stunned for a moment. After returning, she made a few remarks, saying that Ren Wuyang was not something that anyone in Prince Jin's Mansion could think of.
Whether they are well-matched is secondary. The main reason is that Ren Wuhuang is a general with real power, and Prince Jin's Mansion is a royal palace with real power, so they are destined not to have an in-law relationship.
Suppressing the strangeness in her heart, Jin Yan went to Concubine Xian again.
Zhu Hongjin has arrived.
After not seeing her for a while, she completely changed. She had a red face and a delicate beauty, like a dusty pearl that was suddenly blown away by someone, revealing the clarity inside.
The well-fitting red palace dress on her body made her look like a blooming rose, delicate and charming.
Zhu Hongjin has the posture of a little girl, her eyes are pure and clean, and her whole person exudes a softness that is indifferent to the world. In addition, her mother's family is in business, so she will not pose any threat to that person, so she is the most suitable person in the palace. Pampered rose.
Before Jin Yan could salute, Zhu Hongjin pulled her to sit beside her.
"When I came out of Fengyi Palace, I heard that Princess Jiayu had come to the palace with the imperial master. I was thinking about whether I should invite you to sit with me. Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian came to invite me. I I guessed that it was you who came to her."
She poured the tea skillfully, wearing a string of fine agate beads on her white wrist. The beads were round and jade-like, making her skin look like snow.
The tea cups were placed in front of Xian Fei and Jin Yan respectively. She held her chin in her hand and said with a smile, "I learned it from the old nun in the palace a while ago. Do you guys have a try?"
After finishing speaking, he smiled and waited for their feedback. Until both of them nodded, the light in Zhu Hongjin's eyes became a little brighter.
"Does the princess want to go find the imperial master? Why don't you walk with me for a while. The embroidery that the empress gave me will be modified in a few days before I send someone to deliver it."
The first half of the sentence was addressed to Jin Yan, and the second half was addressed to Concubine Xian.
After leaving Concubine Xian's palace, a sudden gust of wind blew. Zhu Hongjin tilted her body uncontrollably, and Jin Yan reached out to help her up.
She glanced sideways and smiled, "Thank you."
She was gentle, and she felt very dazzling just now, but now she realized that something was missing.
Jin Yan took the opportunity to put something in her sleeve into her hand. Zhu Hongjin trembled and soon returned to normal.
The two walked side by side in the Imperial Garden, which was full of flowers even in late autumn.
But after all, they are not the flowers that should bloom in season. Looking at them, they are all wilted.
