Xie Cheng'an didn't expect that she would refuse so simply. After a slight pause, he nodded and said: "In that case, let's get busy first."

"Then I'll leave first." After Ji Yan put down the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she added, "I'll ask my cousin for advice another day when I have the opportunity."

"Yeah." Xie Chengan nodded.

After the little girl in goose yellow left, Jin Han fell from the beam.

Xie Chengan lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

As if saying to himself: "I originally thought that this set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone was given to her stepbrother Wei Yun, but I never thought it was given to me. It seems that the sachet was given to her stepbrother."

Jin Han frowned and said: "Your Highness, I don't think so. After all, Miss Ji's family is still a young lady who has not left the court. She will definitely not give such an intimate object to a man easily. Maybe she wants to wait until her marriage to the prince is settled. , and then give this thing to the prince."

"It is indeed possible." Xie Chengan said calmly, and then added, "If you must marry a woman, this young lady from the Ji family is indeed a good candidate."

Jin Han listened and understood the prince's hint.

This Miss Ji is very likely to be the future Crown Princess, and he must protect her with all his heart.

"You can go down and continue to protect Miss Biao in secret."

"Yes."

After Ji Yan came out of Xie Chengan's courtyard, she followed Biyun to Wei Yun's courtyard, but when she was about to go in, she hesitated again.

"What's wrong, miss?"

Ji Yan pursed her lower lip, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, I won't give it to you for now. I am his sister-in-law, so it seems inappropriate to give him the sachet."

Generally, women give sachets to men to express their love.

If she hurriedly sent it out like this, it wouldn't seem appropriate anywhere.

"But this was sewn by the lady herself, stitch by stitch. Do you really not want to give it away?"

Biyun knew her concerns, but if no one said anything, then no one would know that the sachet was given to Wei Yun by the young lady, and he would not be afraid of anyone gossiping outside.

Ji Yan is actually not worried about these, nor does she care what others think of her. She is worried that Wei Yun will think wrongly.

There was some ambiguity between them because of some things.

If she sends another sachet at this time, it will probably add fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, Ji Yan firmed up her mind and said, "I won't give it to you for now. I'll think of something else suitable to give to Wei Yun."

Therefore, she only wandered outside Wei Yun's yard for a while today, and then went to her own yard.

Without disturbing Wei Yun, I also heard that he was preparing for the exam recently.

Ji Yan thought about it and decided not to disturb him so as not to miss his studies.

After Ji Yan returned to his courtyard safely, Jin Han informed Xie Chengan of the matter, but he was far away, so he didn't know what they said.

I just informed the prince that the cousin stood outside Mr. Wei's courtyard for a while and then left.

Xie Chengan said "Oh?" "That sachet was not given to Wei Yun?"

In fact, who it was given to had nothing to do with Xie Chengan, so he didn't care too much, "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing in the future, just protect your cousin."

"Yes."

In mid-April, at this time in previous years, young ladies from prominent families in Kyoto would rent several gorgeous boats on the Yong'an River, where they would meet friends, drink and have fun.

In previous years, the prince would also go.

This time, Ji Yan also received an invitation from Xie Chengan.

Ji Yan also advised: "This is a good opportunity. You can not only get to know noble people, but also use it as a way to relax. You just have to remember not to let the wind blow for too long."

"I heard that the Crown Prince also invited Wei Yun. You are his sister-in-law. If he does anything inappropriate, he must be reprimanded and corrected in time. Don't let him disgrace our Ji family."

Ji Yan nodded.

She wore a concubine-colored skirt today, and after listening to Ji Yan's words, she covered it with an apricot-colored cloak.

When he boarded the carriage, he happened to miss Wei Yun and did not see him.

All in all, she hadn't seen Wei Yun for a week.

The carriage arrived at the bank of Yong'an River. When Ji Yan got off the car, Xie Chengan was beside him. When he saw her opening the curtain, he smiled at her.

Ji Yan lowered her eyes, called her cousin, and then looked around.

"Looking for Wei Yun?" Xie Chengan asked quietly, as if he had seen through her thoughts.

Ji Yan paused and nodded.

The prince said: "He is still behind, and he will arrive in a while. It is windy outside, so my cousin will follow me on the boat first."

Ji Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay."

She boarded the boat with Xie Chengan, and when she got there, she found that there were already many people inside.

Seeing Xie Chengan coming, everyone was overjoyed and started joking around. It wasn't until they saw a woman following the Crown Prince that they looked surprised.

"Huaicheng, this lady is..."

"This is my cousin, Ji Yan."

"Oh, it turns out she's my cousin. She looks so good." The man who spoke looked particularly cheerful and waved to Ji Yan, "Come here, cousin. Don't be formal. We are all our own people on the boat. You can eat and drink whatever you want. Just say it.”

Ji Yan blinked her eyelashes.

Xie Chengan said: "Don't scare her. My cousin is weak and cannot be scared."

The other party immediately teased: "Hey, you can't tell, Huaicheng, you have finally realized that you actually feel sorry for the woman."

Xie Cheng'an had no choice but to turn to Ji Yan and said, "He usually has this temper. Don't pay attention to what he says."

Ji Yan shook her head, "It doesn't matter."

She was placed indoors, where there was no wind, and the table was filled with fine wine and delicacies. Looking out the porthole, she could see the rippling blue Yong'an River, which really gave her a sense of leisure.

Ji Yan was brought by Xie Chengan, so everyone on the ship was quite curious about her.

Just looking at her face, this cousin is indeed a beauty, but there are so many beauties in Kyoto. If she only had her face, she wouldn't be so cared for by Xie Chengan, so there must be something special about this cousin.

Now that Xie Chengan was being dragged outside to chat, the people inside the boat were a little ready to make a move.

"Who is Miss Ji?"

Ji Yan was staring at the porthole in a daze, but when she heard the sound, she turned her head.

The person who asked the question was a man wearing a moon-white robe. His facial features were not outstanding, but he had an innate nobility about him.

Ji Yan glanced at him and answered truthfully: "I'm from Bianzhou."

"Oh? Bianzhou."

Hearing these two words, the eyes of everyone present changed.

In Bianzhou, the surname is Ji. That is not the Ji family whose home was confiscated a few days ago.

In other words, she was able to come here today because of Xie Chengan's face.

In this case, there would be nothing worth getting along with, and it was impossible for Xie Chengan to marry her, after all, the family background was there.

Of course, it is not impossible to be Xie Chengan's concubine in the future.

He thought this, but did not say it outright. In the end, it saved some face for this young lady.

But some people were unwilling to give her face, but said directly: "I asked why brother Huaicheng brought her here. It turned out that he wanted to take her as a concubine."

"To take her as a concubine is already a high-ranking heir apparent. Miss Ji is really lucky."

Ji Yan was speechless and choked, but she was too lazy to argue with these people. There was no change on her face, and her attitude was full of indifference.

She didn't mind, but someone else did.

"Who said my sister wants to be Xie Cheng'an's concubine?" The young man's voice was low, his dark hair was tied up, and his long black eyelashes like crow feathers were slightly drooped, covering the darkness in them.

Wei Yun was dressed in black, and after looking away from Ji Yan, he looked at everyone indifferently.

The young man sneered coldly: "Even if Xie Chengan wants to marry her, it still depends on whether she is willing."
