Chapter 424: Revealing Scars
After listening to Changsong's words, Jinyan only paused for a moment. After going through the posts in his hand one by one, he picked out a few larger ones and said, "Please reject the rest. Take these Begonias and arrange them." .”
She said calmly, not taking it to heart at all.
The moment she came out of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, she could predict what everyone would think of her.
The first banquet that Jin Yan attended was hosted by the imperial concubine in the palace, and the invitations were from the noble ladies of the aristocratic families. All the famous families in the capital received the invitations.
If Jin Yan does not participate, Su Xihe from Prince Jin's Mansion will also come forward.
It was a warm and sunny day. When the early morning light shone on the red walls and green tiles of the palace, many carriages, large and small, were already parked at the entrance of the palace.
Jin Yan's appearance caused quite a stir. The women's eyes were either gloating, curious, appraising, or sympathetic... all of them fell on her.
The main color of her body is still aquamarine, and the gradient color is crescent white at the waist and abdomen, and the color becomes darker and darker downwards, until the hem of the skirt is like a dark mountain range, stretching endlessly.
This dress looks simple and elegant, but the patterns are complex and changeable, almost blending into the color background, which is surprising when you look closely.
A large cloak of the same color was wrapped tightly around her body, and on her head was a set of gemstones, specially prepared for her by Su Xihe. Together with the diamond on her forehead and the red lipstick on her lips, it was difficult to take them away with just one glance.
Jin Yan came with such great momentum.
Instead, those who were watching the excitement fell silent. Several times someone wanted to speak, but when they saw people on the left and right looking at her infatuatedly, they swallowed their voices.
Zhao Wantang has the most distinguished status among the noble ladies. Everyone subconsciously looked at her, their eyes going back and forth between her and Jin Yan.
"Princess Jiayu is here."
The grander the occasion, the more solemn Zhao Wantang's appearance becomes and the kinder he is.
She greeted Jin Yan in a gentle voice that she had never expected. People who didn't know her would have thought they were sisters who had such a close relationship.
Jin Yan dodged her hand without leaving a trace and smiled lightly, "Yeah."
As she said that, she just stood there, her eyes falling on the carriage, and soon a woman came out of it.
Su Xihe wore a dark-colored long skirt. The hem of the skirt shone with tiny silver threads, making it look even more gorgeous under the sunlight.
She rarely felt so strong, but it was rare for her to wake up so early today.
"The clothes of Princess Jiayu and Princess look similar?"
Someone exclaimed, while others hurriedly said, "They look like sisters. Princess Jin is so beautiful."
"She hasn't appeared at the banquet for a long time. I didn't expect to be here today."
"Is it possible that you came here about the princess?"
"whats the matter?"
"What else could it be? It's naturally a matter of getting married. Didn't Prince Yi want to marry the princess?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Jin Yan much more intensely.
Jin Yan acted like no one else, and quietly walked to Su Xi and her side, holding her hand with a genuine smile on her lips.
"The Imperial Concubine invites you all to meet at Qingfang Pavilion in the Imperial Garden."
Someone came out of the palace and shouted in a high voice.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and walked towards the palace gate unhurriedly.
Jin Yan and Su Xihe deliberately stayed behind, but many people seemed to be waiting for them, and would gather around to say a few words from time to time.
Su Xi and both responded one by one.
"aunt……"
Jinyuan somehow reached Su Xi and saluted. Jinyan blinked her eyes. She was still outside just now, but she was in front of her in the blink of an eye, which showed that she was very fast.
Su Xihe only glanced at her and said, "I don't have a niece like you, girl, be careful what you say."
Jinyuan's face froze, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"It's all A-Yuan's fault. She shouldn't have offended the princess's sister."
She can really pull it off.
Jin Yan warned, "If you don't leave, you will be late. Mrs. Yuan, can't you hurry up?"
"It doesn't matter that my mother and I are late, but you can't. The imperial concubine is also your mother-in-law. If you are late, you will be disliked by others."
Jinyuan swayed and turned pale.
Jin Yan added, "The Imperial Concubine did not ask you to help with such a big banquet. Didn't Prince Jin's Mansion teach you? I remember that when I was at the Mansion, I taught you the reception etiquette for this kind of banquet."
Her voice was neither loud nor quiet, and everyone gathered around heard her clearly.
Jinyuan gritted her teeth and smiled, "Sorry to bother you."
She left with a pale face.
As for what happened today, if the imperial concubine liked her at all, she would not be among these people. Instead, she should be beside the imperial concubine and appear as the host.
However, they looked down upon her at all and didn't even send her a post.
If she hadn't asked Xiao Yi to get the token, she might not even be able to enter the palace gate.
When she saw Princess Jin and Jin Yan in the crowd just now, Jin Yuan suddenly panicked.
After all, the emperor has already spoken. If Jinyan nods and agrees, Xiao Yi can marry Jinyan as his princess.
Where will she still be alive then?
Jin Yuan originally wanted to get close to them and inquire about the purpose of their coming here, but who knew that Jin Yan would be very angry after just a few words.
That man is used to exposing people's wounds!
With Jinyuan in front of them, anyone who wanted to inquire had to restrain their temper, so the group of people arrived at Qingfang Pavilion in the Royal Garden.
Qingfang Pavilion is a square pavilion, connected to the shore by the lake, so it is very spacious. It is surrounded by flowers and potted plants. Jin Yan saw the familiar bouquet and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. It seems that there is another stroke in Mingyue Tower today. A lot of income.
The imperial concubine has not yet arrived, and everyone is looking at the bouquets and potted plants everywhere with great curiosity.
"It's unusual for flowers to bloom so brightly in winter!"
The lady sighed at a pot of roses. The bright red flowers were delicate and delicate under the sun, and they were fragrant. They should not be products of the mid-winter season, so more people quickly stopped to watch.
"It's really rare."
Jin Yan smiled slightly and added a word.
Before the next words were spoken, Zhao Wantang couldn't wait to continue, "The princess has been staying at the Imperial Prefect's Mansion recently. She must not know about this. Not only roses, but also peonies can be bought at Mingyue Tower. Woolen cloth."
Jinyan swallowed the words that came to her lips, pretending to be surprised.
Someone rushed forward to spread the word and she wouldn't mind Zhao Wantang talking more.
