Chapter 320 The Empress, the Hostage from the Neighboring Country Has Returned in Battle (Part 4)
But Ji Yu'an wouldn't just let them bully him.
Ji Yu'an blamed Jiang He for this.
If Jiang He hadn't abandoned him, how dare these people treat him like this?
If it weren't for Jiang He, I wouldn't have suffered this undeserved disaster.
Just as Ji Yu'an was engaging in feigned politeness with these people...
The second princess has arrived.
The second princess also adored Ji Yu'an.
However, Ji Yu'an is the person Jiang He has her eye on.
As Jiang He's younger sister, the Second Princess cannot compete with Jiang He for a man.
If the Empress finds out, the two women will be fighting over the same man.
The Empress won't do anything to them, but she will do something to Ji Yu'an.
In order to protect Ji Yu'an, the second princess dared not express her love to him.
Although she couldn't express her love, the Second Princess still cared deeply for Ji Yu'an.
Ji Yu'an also knew that the Second Princess liked him.
Even though the Second Princess often showed concern for him under the guise of being the First Princess.
Ji Yu'an could also see that the Second Princess liked him.
Compared to the eldest princess, who was big and burly, Ji Yu'an actually preferred the second princess, who was delicate and lovely.
Unfortunately, the second princess didn't dare to express her feelings directly.
This is all because of Jiang He.
If it weren't for Jiang He, he might already be with the Second Princess.
The key point is that the second princess seems to be easier to control than the first princess.
It would be wonderful if the second princess became empress in the future.
However, the eldest princess is the Empress's chosen successor.
The second princess was quite happy to see Ji Yu'an.
Upon seeing people, they immediately boarded the boat.
I originally thought that if Ji Yu'an was here, the eldest princess must be here too.
I didn't expect Jiang He to not be here.
Today, only Ji Yu'an is here.
The Second Princess was quite pleased to learn that Ji Yu'an was alone.
That way, I can sit next to Ji Yu'an.
The second princess discovered that Ji Yu'an was being bullied.
A group of people are drinking fruit wine.
These people are bullying Ji Yu'an.
The second princess immediately protected Ji Yu'an.
Seeing that the Second Princess was protecting Ji Yu'an, those people knew that they couldn't continue today.
We had no choice but to stop there.
Even if the Second Princess wasn't as favored by the Empress as the First Princess, her status and position were still significant.
Moreover, they dared not go too far, for fear that Ji Yu'an would complain to the eldest princess.
If the eldest princess gets angry, she might do something to vent Ji Yu'an's anger.
The second princess sat next to Ji Yu'an, and no one else dared to approach.
The Second Princess asked Ji Yu'an why Jiang He hadn't been with him today.
Ji Yu'an told the Second Princess that Jiang He had originally invited him to go boating on the lake.
We first went to Jin Yu Ge.
Jiang He had originally set her sights on a lotus-shaped jade pendant and wanted to buy it.
After inquiring about the price of the jade pendant and learning that it cost one thousand taels of silver, he decided not to buy it.
He also said he didn't bring any money.
After leaving Jin Yu Ge, Jiang He said that she had other matters to attend to at her residence and then departed.
Jiang He left Ji Yu'an alone on the street; Ji Yu'an came over by himself.
The Second Princess felt indignant on Ji Yu'an's behalf after hearing about his plight.
The eldest princess went too far today.
What's the logic behind her arranging to meet Ji Yu'an but then leaving him stranded on the street?
Moreover, a jade pendant costs only a thousand taels of silver, yet the eldest princess is unwilling to buy it; that's too stingy.
If it weren't for Jiang He, Ji Yu'an wouldn't have been bullied today.
The Second Princess promised Ji Yu'an that she would go find Jiang He later.
Make Jiang He apologize to him.
And that lotus jade pendant, Jiang He wouldn't buy it for him, she would buy it for him.
The lotus is Ji Yu'an's favorite flower.
That lotus-shaped jade pendant would suit him perfectly.
Ji Yu'an looked at the Second Princess with a pained expression.
The second princess actually offered to buy the jade pendant and give it to him.
This was truly an unexpected delight.
Ji Yu'an was happy inside, but his face remained cold and indifferent.
This indicates that one should not accept rewards without merit.
The second princess can buy the jade pendant for herself; there's no need to give it to him.
The Second Princess liked Ji Yu'an's attitude.
He was different from other people who sought power and influence.
Ji Yu'an didn't want anything.
After the lake tour, the Second Princess invited Ji Yu'an to ride in her carriage.
Unable to refuse Ji Yu'an's hospitality, the second princess escorted him back to his villa.
After seeing Ji Yu'an off, the second princess went home to raise money.
The second princess spent a thousand taels of silver to buy the lotus jade pendant.
Before delivering the lotus jade pendant, the second princess went to the eldest princess's residence first.
This lotus-shaped jade pendant costs one thousand taels of silver.
Although the second princess took out this money.
But she actually didn't have much money left.
The second princess's salary was not very high.
The thousand taels of silver was money she had saved for a long time.
The second princess had no other source of income.
Unlike the eldest princess, who owns several shops.
There is extra money coming in every month.
Therefore, the eldest princess can buy whatever she wants.
The second princess, however, lacked that confidence.
As the second princess, it would be too embarrassing for her to say that she had no money.
She couldn't possibly spend all her money and then pawn her belongings to make money.
So the Second Princess planned to ask Jiang He for reimbursement for this money.
Jiang He definitely likes Ji Yu'an.
She would buy things for Ji Yu'an without batting an eye.
The reason Jiang He didn't buy the lotus jade pendant this time must be because she really didn't bring any money.
Now that she's bought the jade pendant, she'll tell Jiang He about how Ji Yu'an was bullied. Jiang He will definitely feel very sorry for him.
To make amends to Ji Yu'an, Jiang He will buy the jade pendant and give it to him.
Perhaps Jiang He will give her more money as a token of gratitude.
After all, Jiang He is quite generous.
Sometimes I would also give her some gifts.
The second princess arrived at the eldest princess's residence in a carriage.
Jiang He was in the study.
Jiang He returned to the mansion to deal with some matters.
As the Empress's successor, the eldest princess has many affairs to attend to.
In order to accompany Ji Yu'an on his trip, Jiang He would handle any urgent matters as quickly as possible and then squeeze out time to spend with Ji Yu'an.
Those non-urgent matters were all things that Jiang He kept putting off.
Jiang He is currently dealing with things that are not urgent but are still important.
"Elder sister, are you very busy today?"
The second princess greeted Jiang He and began exchanging pleasantries.
"When am I not busy? What do you need me for?"
"Elder sister, I went boating on the lake today. I didn't see you, only Ji Yu'an, so I came to ask why you didn't go boating on the lake with Ji Yu'an today?"
"Of course I'm busy. Going boating on the lake is something I can only do when I have free time. You saw Ji Yu'an, so did you go boating on the lake with him?"
"Elder sister, you don't know. When I boarded the ship, I saw a group of people bullying Ji Yu'an. I couldn't stand it, so I helped Ji Yu'an. If you had seen this, you would have been heartbroken."
I was afraid that Ji Yu'an would be bullied again, so I sent him back to the villa.
My elder sister, I know you like Ji Yu'an. I am your younger sister, so I will definitely help you take care of Ji Yu'an.
By the way, a new batch of jewelry arrived at Jin Yu Ge. I went to take a look and saw a lotus jade pendant. Isn't it beautiful?
The second princess took out the lotus jade pendant and placed it in front of Jiang He.
