Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 216 Regret I Didn't Know You Earlier

At this time Lianchun and Xiqiu were holding Xiao Jincheng playing with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, Xiao Jincheng crookedly held the writing brush in his hand, and waved it to the paper beside it when it was stained with ink.

Seeing the older little Jincheng, Jiang Jinyan wiped away tears with a smile.

Before I left, I thought countless times that if I couldn't come back, I would leave everything I had to Xiao Jincheng, but I didn't expect that I could come back and see him again.

Lianchun and Xiqiu were also red-eyed when they saw Jiang Jinyan, and they left the house after saluting one after another.

Jiang Jinyan stepped forward to hug Xiao Jincheng, but saw him twisting his body uncomfortably, and also imprinted a thick ink on Jiang Jinyan's sleeve.

Jiang Jinyan just smiled, and wiped off the ink on his face with a handkerchief. The familiar appearance and familiar smell made Xiao Jincheng quiet, but it didn't take long before he cried and grabbed Jiang Jinyan's sleeve , never let go.

Caressing his soft back, Jiang Jinyan felt distressed and sour for a while.

This is the blood connection...

"Miss, Zhen Guohou sent people to deliver a lot of fashionable fruits, and many children's toys."

Jiang Jinyan struggled to pick up the heavy little Jincheng, with a wider smile on his face, "Did you bring any words?"

After sending himself into the city, he received news from the Suzaku camp. Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, all these things were delivered...

Yu Mo chuckled, "Zhen Guohou said to come and see Miss later."

Suddenly Xiao Jincheng giggled, and Jiang Jinyan carefully placed him on the soft couch on the ground, "Brother Cheng is sinking again..."

Yu Mo nodded with emotion, "Madam is blessed by the spirit of heaven, the lady and the young master will surely be safe for the rest of their lives."

Jiang Jinyan summoned Lianchun and Xiqiu to take care of Xiao Jincheng, and then took Yumo to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Fang.

"Qian'er met the elder sister..."

As soon as he turned the corridor, Jiang Jinyan met Jiang Jinqian, who was dressed in pink and had a charming smile.

Jiang Jinyan nodded, "Second sister doesn't need to be too polite."

Raising her head, Jiang Jinqian's smile became brighter, she took a step forward and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my sister is really a lucky person, and she came back so soon."

Jiang Jinyan frowned slightly, this Jiang Jinqian must have thought that he had secured the position of side concubine of Prince Duan's mansion, but now he is very arrogant!

She smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, second sister. I am going to the ancestral hall to offer incense to my mother."

Jiang Jinqian did not step out of the way, but stepped forward with a coquettish smile, "Princess Huaishu will hold the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Imperial Garden in two days. Originally, my younger sister was only considered as the elder sister and missed the opportunity to come. This is a good time." , my sister must go with my sister."

"I'm not in good health yet, Second Sister can go there on her own."

After Jiang Jinyan finished speaking, he wanted to bypass her and go to the ancestral hall.

Princess Huaishu?
She has no good intentions for herself. Now that she has not figured out the changes in Luoyang, and the gambling house in the south of the city has not been firmly grasped, she cannot go head-to-head with Princess Huaishu at this time...

Presumably, she was still waiting to meet her.

She frowned, a little uncertain about Jiang Jinqian's relationship with Princess Huaishu at this time.

But in the evening, when the invitation with Princess Huaishu's private seal was delivered to Wutong Garden, Jiang Jinyan understood that Jiang Jinqian must have sent the news of her return to Princess Huaishu.

It seems that Jiang Jinqian has not been idle even after he has been away for so long.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Jinqian's coquettish laughter came from outside again.

"Elder Sister, I heard that the Eldest Princess sent someone to deliver the invitation?"

She entered the room, bowed and smiled coquettishly: "After all, it is a royal style... Eldest sister can't cheer up the eldest princess."

Jiang Jinyan rested his fingers lightly on the invitation card, the ink on it seemed to have not dried completely.

But she asked leisurely, "Has the second sister's marriage been settled?"

Jiang Jinyan raised his cold eyes, and his eyes fell on Jiang Jinqian's increasingly enchanting face.

Jiang Jinqian seemed to be very respectful, but her smile was very disdainful, as if she would marry into Duan Wang's mansion soon...

"Eldest sister seems to be a noble person who forgets things too much... Qian'er has already made a marriage contract with Prince Duan, and the prince has personally promised that as long as Qian'er is out of the filial piety period, he will come to marry Qian'er... Oh, no, what about elder sister?" At that time, I had already lived in the hospital, so naturally I didn’t know about it.”

After saying this, she glanced at Jiang Jinyan proudly.

Now that I am on good terms with Princess Huai Shu again, Concubine Li is not too wary of herself, as long as I seize the opportunity... I will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Duan Wangfu!

Then she turned around, "It's better for Eldest Sister to go once in two days. The Eldest Princess specially ordered that Lan Zhaoyi will go too. Zhaoyi's belly is getting bigger..."

Thinking of He Lan, Jiang Jinyan tightened his fingers holding the invitation for a moment.

Counting the days, she should be more than seven months pregnant...

In the end, Jiang Jinyan decided to follow up with the invitation.

It's good to go to see the situation in the palace...

After dinner, a woman entered the yard with a smile on her face, "Miss! Zhen Guohou is here!"

Jiang Jinyan put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, stood up with a smile, and sure enough, he saw Xu Junyan in a moon-white brocade robe.

"Is everything in order at the Suzaku Camp?"

Xu Junyan entered her room, helped her to sit down, touched the rim of the teacup, frowned and said, "This tea is getting colder, so I brought it for a warmer one."

Yu Mo on the side pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, I'm going to change to hot tea."

Jiang Jinyan was a little embarrassed, and lowered his eyes, "Winter is over, why are you still so careful?"

Xu Junyan laughed lowly, "If you didn't insist on going back to Luoyang, you should have lived in Huzhou for a while."

Jiang Jinyan turned his face away, "Marquis Zhen Guo has become more and more aggressive."

Xu Junyan held her hand. Although it was no longer as cold as before, it was still a bit cooler than ordinary people. He took out a piece of elegant and clean ring-shaped jade pendant from his cuff, "This piece of warm jade is good for your body."

Jiang Jinyan still let him wear the jade on himself.

During the days when I was in Yougu, Huzhou, I have long been used to those things that are good for my health that Xu Junyan finds from time to time.

"Are you going to stuff all the good things into my hands?"

Jiang Jinyan caressed the piece of jade, and suddenly paused, there seemed to be some handwriting in the jade pendant.

Seeing that she was bothering to see her, Xu Junyan was afraid that her eyes would hurt, so he hurriedly said, "Your birth date..."

Jiang Jinyan bit his lip and raised his eyes, "Which one is this?"

Xu Junyan put the jade pendant close to her body for her, and then said in a low voice: "The abbot of the White Horse Temple carved it with his own hands, to protect you for the rest of your life..."

"White Horse Temple?"

This is a hundred-year-old temple outside Luoyang City, and he also returned to Luoyang with him. Could it be that he sent himself to the gate of the city and rushed to the White Horse Temple?

"Jun Yan, if I hadn't survived in Huzhou..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Junyan blocked it with his lips.

This kiss was extremely shallow, but with a domineering tone that could not be refused, "I won't allow it."

"do not……"

Jiang Jinyan gently pushed him away, and the blush on his face became even more charming.

Xu Junyan smiled lightly and trimmed the broken hair on her forehead.

"Miss!"

Xu Junyan took half a step back calmly.

Yu Mo hurried into the room, "Miss! There is a Miss Xia asking to see you!"

"Miss Xia?" Jiang Jinyan pursed her lips.

Xu Junyan suddenly said at this time: "Please come in."

Jiang Jinyan stood up and looked at Xu Junyan puzzled, Xu Junyan lowered his eyes, "It must be Xia He."

Following Xu Junyan's explanation, Jiang Jinyan also thought of Xia He.

She is the girl who came to Jing'an Hou Mansion together with Xu Ming in the past.

Not long after, Xia He brought two maids to Wutong Garden.

Today Xia He wore an exquisite chrysanthemum-patterned top and a pleated ruyi moon skirt, and her hair was extremely luxurious.

"You wait outside."

After speaking, Xia He slowly walked into Jiang Jinyan's room.

She was not surprised when she saw Xu Junyan, but she gave a half salute not too far away, "Senior brother."

Xu Junyan passed the ceremony sideways, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xia He smiled, "I heard that Miss Jiang has returned to Luoyang, so of course I want to come and have a look."

Jiang Jinyan sized her up for a while, and saw that she had more grace than before, but she also lacked that coquettish beauty.

Although the beautiful clothes and pearl hairpins set off a beauty, it also lacks the aura when we first met.

"Miss Xia, you don't have to be polite. I heard that Miss Xia returned to Jin'an a long time ago. I didn't expect to see you again. I didn't greet you from afar today... Jin Yan is really rude."

Seeing Xu Junyan's expression, Jiang Jinyan knew that he knew Xia He was coming, but he was really not sure what Xia He meant.

Xia He took a step forward, with a genuine smile, "I originally wanted to have some private conversations with Miss Jiang, but I didn't expect my senior brother to be waiting for me long ago. It's a shame to let me down."

Jiang Jinyan blushed slightly, and Xu Junyan stepped forward to support Jiang Jinyan without changing his expression, and said to Xia He, "Is Jinyan in good health, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Seeing her long-lost old friend, Xia He felt much less distressed in the past few days. She snorted and sat on the grand teacher's chair beside her, "I have no intention of leaving when I come."

Only then did Jiang Jinyan laugh out loud, this looks a bit like the original Xia He.

Xu Junyan's expression darkened slightly, "It's getting late."

Naturally, Xu Junyan didn't want the Xia family's affairs to be implicated in Jinyan. He protected Jiang Jinyan, and his words were already a little displeased.

Xia He bit her lip and lowered her eyes, "I just..."

Jiang Jinyan quickly pushed Xu Junyan, and said with reproach: "Miss Xia just came to talk to me, but you should go."

Xia He seemed to have grasped at straws to save his life. He stood up and took Jiang Jinyan's arm, urging, "Yes! Why don't you hurry up, brother? Sister Jinyan and I have something to say!"

Xu Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xia He shrank behind Jiang Jinyan, "Sister Jinyan!"

This scene made Jiang Jinyan a little dumbfounded, and pulled Xu Junyan out of the yard, "Can't you just let her go?"

Xia He's identity can also be guessed by himself. The Xia family in Jin'an was also a prominent family decades ago, and now it seems to be hidden in the world, but the reputation of the sword master Xia Changfeng still survives.

Xia He is Xia Changfeng's only daughter.

Xu Junyan had no choice but to smile wryly for a moment, "I'm cured, but I don't have the wisdom I used to have."

Jiang Jinyan has long been used to such conversations between the two, and lightly smiled back, "Looks like Zhen Guohou regretted it again..."

Xu Junyan straightened her clothes, nodded and said in a deep voice, "I regret not knowing you earlier."
