Ji Yan thought that she might do something that crossed the line at that time, but now that she heard Wei Yun say it with her own ears, she was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks turned red visibly.

Wei Yun had also been observing the young lady's expression, and saw that her cheeks were red, like a ripening peach.Seeing such a situation, I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart.

In fact, he shouldn't have mentioned this matter, but it was only natural to pretend that nothing happened. But at that second, he somehow had the idea of ​​teasing her.

Now that the young lady was hesitant to speak, he paused and then took the initiative: "The young lady had no choice but to do so at that time, Wei Yun can understand."

It was okay not to say this, but saying it made Ji Yan's face even hotter for some reason.

The girl lowered her eyes and said softly: "I messed up the rules that day, and thank you for saving me. Then...it's getting late. I'll go back to the room first, and you should rest early."

Wei Yun looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him calmly, gently curled his lips and said, "Then I'll see Miss off."

But the girl waved her hand: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, I can just go back by myself."

Wei Yun was silent for a moment, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes like stars. Under the dim candlelight at this moment, the young man's voice was inexplicably hoarse: "Miss, do you really not want me to send you off?"

There was obviously a long distance between the two of them, but the voice seemed to ring in her ears. It was obviously an ordinary word, but it made Ji Yan's ear bones numb and she couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, she came back to her senses, lowered her eyes and whispered, "It's really not necessary."

The lady's polite refusal was even more soft and unbelievable.

She almost finished speaking and stood up to leave. The jade-like fingers hanging by her side tightened the hem of her coat. Wei Yun seemed to be able to vaguely see a little blood on the young lady's earlobes hidden by her long hair.

He was a little lost in thought.

When he came back to his senses, the lady had already gone away, the room was extremely quiet, and the constantly dancing candlelight seemed to be the only excitement here.

He blew out the candle and seemed to have thought of something. His lips curled up slightly, thinking rather interestingly that the young lady was indeed different.

The passenger ship traveled from Bianzhou to Kyoto for two days and two nights.

When the ship docked, Ji Yan's letter to the Crown Prince arrived earlier.

Xie Chengan also heard about the case of the Bianzhou governor in Beijing.

He also remembered that when he was young, his father once told him that his mother had a side sister with whom he had a close friendship. His mother and this sister gave birth to children one after another, which happened to be a boy and a girl, so they verbally agreed to get married.

Today is different from the past, his mother is no longer alive, and his father often whispered in his ears before that the marriage with the Miss Bianzhou Prefecture was the only unfinished business left by his mother in this world.

Therefore, when receiving Ji Yan's letter, Xie Chengan immediately informed his father.

The father was silent for a moment, then asked him to welcome them back home.

Xie Chengan had no objection, so he sent a carriage and horse to pick up the passenger ship on the day it arrived in Kyoto.

The prince is famous in Kyoto. Not only is he outstanding in appearance, but he is also rare in talent, education and character. It is no exaggeration to say that no woman of marriageable age in Kyoto would want to marry Xie Chengan.

Therefore, when the palace's carriage stopped at the ferry, it inevitably aroused the onlookers and curiosity of the surrounding people, who all guessed which distinguished guest it was welcoming.

After sitting on the boat for a long time, Ji Yan felt slightly unwell. Her lips were very pale, her complexion became paler, and her eyebrows were very haggard.

She wore a goose-yellow skirt, which showed off her complexion a little, but because of her weakness, her pretty face looked very pitiful.

Ji Yan asked with concern from the side: "Can you still persist? How about going to see the doctor first?"

Ji Yan shook her head: "My daughter is just a little tired, it's okay."

After saying that, he looked behind him again: "Where is Wei Yun?"

Ji Yan couldn't help but look bad when he heard this: "I asked him to go to the palace first."

Ji Yan blinked.

The servants of the palace had already arrived in front of them: "May I ask whether you are the master and the young lady of the Ji family?"

Ji Yan nodded and said, "Did the Crown Prince ask you to come?"

"Yes." The servant said respectfully, "Your Majesty has prepared the carriage. Please follow me."

When Ji Yan saw the carriage, he nodded with satisfaction. It could be seen that the Crown Prince of Kyoto did not neglect their father and daughter, and even showed his sincerity, which made him quite satisfied.

Although the reputation of his late son Xie Cheng'an has spread to Bianzhou, Ji Yan has always believed in the rumors. Some young men who look like Zhilan Yushu are actually just pretending on the surface, and it is still unknown what kind of temper they are behind the scenes.

But now just because Xie Chengan didn't neglect him because of their family's downfall, Ji Yan had a good first impression of him.

The prince's arrangements were well made. After the carriage arrived at Ji's house, servants invited them to rest in the yard prepared in advance.

Ji Yan really couldn't hold it any longer, so she didn't ask about Wei Yun's situation, but just rested on the couch.

I slept for almost half a day, and it was already evening when I woke up.

Before dinner, the prince sent someone to invite them to the front hall to talk.

After resting, Ji Yan was in high spirits now and came to pick up his daughter and go to see the crown prince together.

Biyun gave Ji Yan a beautiful bun and applied lipstick to make her look better. Ji Yan actually felt it was not necessary, but Biyun was very concerned about it and seemed to be expecting the prince to fall in love with her in the future. You can live a good life even if you marry into a prince's palace.

But Ji Yan knew that Xie Chengan would not like her. He was married to an official, and even if he married her, he would only marry her out of responsibility.

So whether you dress up or not, the result is the same.

Ji Yan didn't stop Biyun, just because she didn't want to break the hope in her heart.

On the way to see the crown prince, Ji Yan asked about Wei Yun.

"The prince arranged him in a courtyard farther away." Ji Yan said, "Actually, this is fine. You will eventually get married in the future. If you have too much contact with him, your husband's family will inevitably be a little concerned."

Although Ji Yan disagreed, she still said yes.

When Ji Yan arrived at the front hall, she was following Ji Yan, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Wei Yun in the front hall.

She was a little surprised, and looked at Wei Yun blankly with her eyes.

Wei Yun seemed to notice her gaze and looked towards her.

However, his eyes only stayed on her for a moment, and then he looked back faintly.

Ji Yan paused slightly, then withdrew her gaze, and greeted the prince along with her father.

"No need to be polite. This junior has also met my uncle." Xie Cheng'an said.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Ji Yan cupped his hand, "I heard my wife talk about the Crown Prince as early as in Bianzhou. Now that I see him, he is indeed extraordinary."

Xie Chengan said calmly: "You're welcome. You don't have to call me Prince. Just call me Huaicheng."

Ji Yan smiled and nodded, then introduced his daughter to the prince: "Huaicheng, this is my little girl Ji Yan. In terms of seniority, I should call you cousin."

Xie Chengan's eyes also fell on the delicate woman wearing a goose-yellow dress in front of him.

Ji Yan was stared at by several eyes at this moment, feeling a little dizzy for no reason. She glanced at her father, and then seemed to understand what he meant.

Then he smiled slightly and said, "Cousin."
