Yusui Chang'an

An Zhixian responded listlessly:

"The master did mention it, what's the matter?"

Hong Jiu: "Just asking casually. The young lady's temperament means that she will not share the same husband with her sisters. Just like Zhou Yuexue had an affair with the King of Jin, it is impossible for the young lady to marry His Highness the King of Jin."

After Hong Jiu finished speaking, without waiting for An Zhixian's reaction, he stepped into the secret passage and closed the door.

An Zhixian listened with a confused look on his face: he was talking about nothing.

Suddenly, An Zhixian stood up and looked at the secret door, his brows widening:

Hong Jiu knew that the Taifu intended to betroth Lin Wanrong to him, so Lin Jinyan must have heard about it. The reason why he stopped seeing him may be because of this matter, and he wanted to draw a clear line with himself.

Thinking of this, An Zhixian's eyes lit up, and he followed the secret passage back to Evernight Marquis, where he ordered someone to deliver a message, inviting Chu Chengping to come to the teahouse for a chat.

Lin House.

As soon as Lin Jinyan got off the carriage, Lin Wanrong, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to her with concern. After bowing to Lin Yanqing and Lin Siyuan, she pulled her to express her worries and lamented that she was useless and could not help.

Lin Jinyan held Lin Wanrong's hand back:

"How can my sister be useless? She can be of great help to me."

Faced with Lin Wanrong's puzzled inquiry, Lin Jinyan smiled and talked to her, coaxing Lin Wanrong to smile. The smile was exactly the same as when Lin Jinyan faced the emperor.

As soon as I arrived at Songmaotang and talked to the old lady, the concierge came to send a message, saying that Yue Mingzhu was here.

Lin Jinyan said that Yue Mingzhu wanted to talk to her about herself. The old lady kindly asked Lin Jinyan to take the person to Yan Yuxuan to talk, and there was no need to bring people to visit. Lin Wanrong was sensible enough not to go with her.

Inside Yan Yuxuan.

The two met and sat down. Yue Mingzhu looked at Lin Jinyan's eyes and expressed concern. Lin Jinyan's smile faded when she heard this, she ordered Bai Zhi to add more tea, and led all the servants to retreat. Seeing this, Yue Mingzhu also asked her two maids to leave the house.

Yue Mingzhu came here because Chu Chengyao openly asked to marry Lin Jinyan last night, and Lin Jinyan entered the palace again today. Yue Mingzhu wanted to know who Lin Jinyan had chosen.

"Last night, the four princes asked for marriage. Although they made a big splash, many of them complained about you."

Lin Jinyan's beautiful eyebrows forced out a sad look and said with a wry smile:

"How do I want this kind of limelight? Not only the daughters who are pleased with the prince, but also His Majesty is dissatisfied with it. I am just a minister, how can it be my turn to choose the prince? I entered the palace today for the same reason. Please forgive me."

Yue Mingzhu: "Your Majesty, can you tell me who you will be betrothed to?"

Lin Jinyan shook her head: "I can't marry the person I like, and I don't want to marry into the royal family."

"Old General Gu has made great achievements in battle. If you want to marry the person you like, it is possible for you, General Gu, to go to your majesty."

When Lin Jinyan heard this, her mood became a little lower:

"He is going to marry my cousin soon. How can I share the same husband with my sisters?"

Yue Mingzhu reacted for a moment and said in shock:

"Is the person you are talking about His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"

Seeing Lin Jinyan nodding, Yue Mingzhu felt confused:

"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, does he know...your thoughts?"

Lin Jinyan lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief:

"What he knows is that he first expressed his feelings to me. He was very affectionate and courteous to me. He took care of me in every way and never exceeded the rules. He also promised me the position of the royal concubine and said that I was the only one in his heart. I still Thought he was a gentleman... I didn't want him to be like my cousin secretly, who is already more than three months pregnant." (End of Chapter)
