The next day, Gongsun Jiayan and Jin Yan went to the lake to go boating together.

This is an unspoken agreement made by a few of these people who love poetry and romance every month. They gather here to recite poems, write articles, and talk about their future ambitions...

Except for the time when Gongsun Jiayan went south or fell ill and did not keep this agreement, at other times, no matter it was windy, frost, rainy or snowy, they would come to meet each other.

This meeting was not for any other purpose but to make friends through literature and to convey messages through poetry.

Today, Yang Huai brought Qiao Enxiu to watch the river view at the other end of the pleasure boat.

Jin Ling sat in the painted boat, drinking fruit tea and eating snacks.

While eating, he looked at the two people standing on the left and right of the window without saying a word.

Jin Ling didn't understand what was going on between the two of them, nor did she understand why her elder sister, who usually didn't bother to pay attention to her and thought she was embarrassing, actually took the initiative to invite her to come along today.

Gongsun Jiayan stood not far from Jin Yan, looking at the sparkling lake outside the window. The atmosphere between the two was awkward, and Gongsun Jiayan's clenched hands in his sleeves betrayed his uneasy heart at the moment.

Jin Yan looked at Gongsun Jiayan's handsome face and was distracted for a moment. Thinking of the torment and suffering she had been experiencing during this period of time, she was the first to break the silence.

"Master Gongsun, I knew that the princess was a lovely girl. I didn't expect that when I saw her up close yesterday, she was indeed lively and clever."

"Well, the princess is indeed a good girl."

"If I wasn't a good girl, how could I have made you so obsessed with me? Haha, I even made the reserved Gongsun write such a bold poem to express my feelings."

"The princess's poetry is not good. If there is a deep meaning, she will not understand it!"

"Master Gongsun is so considerate of the princess, he must really love her!"

Gongsun Jiayan no longer replied!

Silence fell between the two again.

"Miss Jin..." Gongsun Jiayan turned and looked at Jin Yan, then sighed and said nothing!

"I didn't expect that we would become such strangers now, and we can't even have a normal conversation?" Jin Yan smiled bitterly helplessly.

"The past is like smoke. I hope Miss Jin will let go of the past, stay away from me, and find an ideal husband as soon as possible. I, Gongsun Jiayan, am not your ideal man." Gongsun Jiayan said this with great determination.

"Haha, the friendship of the past is like smoke. Master Gongsun dismissed people with just a few words. He is really aloof and unparalleled."

"I'm entangled in mundane matters at home. I hope Miss Jin can understand!"

"Understand?" Jin Yan laughed sarcastically.

"I'm involved in too many things, but I can't abandon my family!" Gongsun Jiayan turned around and sighed deeply, "Alas..."

After a long time, Jin Yan broke the silence again.

"Yes, I understand your thoughts, so I wish you a bright future and hope you can ascend to the position of Patriarch as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your help, Miss."

Jin Ling saw that the two were silent again. What happened?

Didn't these two people have a tacit understanding when they discussed poetry and songs in the past? Didn't they regard each other as a close friend?

Wouldn't they argue for three hundred rounds about the policies of Daliang State?

Now they are in this state and dare not speak, so what are they here for today?

What is she here for again?

Seeing her elder sister’s sad face, since she was here, it seemed that if she didn’t do something, she would be too unworthy of the bag of golden melon seeds that her elder sister gave her this morning!

Jin Ling cleared his throat, feeling not comfortable enough, took another sip of tea, and walked towards the two of them.

"Gongsun Jiayan, last year at the Spring Banquet, you revealed what kind of girl you liked, and compared her to my sister in every way. Even though I am a crude and shallow person in your eyes, I could tell that you were interested in my sister. But now you have changed your mind. What does that mean?"

Seeing that Jin Yan didn't stop her after she finished her question, Jin Ling continued to ask, "In the past, you came to my house to discuss poetry and writing with my sister, and compared my sister to a soulmate. Now you want my sister to let go and fulfill your wish. Don't you think you've gone too far? You provoked my sister, and now you've found someone else, and you want to get away with it?"

"For the past, I can only say sorry to Miss Jin. Miss Jin knows my ambitions, and I hope Miss Jin will fulfill them."

"What are you helping me with? What does your revenge have to do with my sister? Stop your flowery talk. If you want to abandon my sister and marry another princess, don't even think about it. I will go back today and tell mother how many sour poems you, a bastard, wrote for my sister in the past."

"You..." Gongsun Jiayan felt embarrassed and annoyed when he saw Jin Yan suddenly looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, he didn't know what to do. In the past, he hated those indecisive people, but he didn't expect that one day he would become the unfaithful person in the book!

"You can do whatever you want!" Jin Ling angrily threw his sleeves and left.
