Yan Qianqian

Ouyang Qianyu looked around excitedly, her gaze suddenly drawn to an exquisite hairpin. This hairpin was completely different from the white jade hairpin she wore on her head; its entire body shone with a dazzling gold color, carved with intricate and delicate patterns, yellow and red silk threads intertwining and winding around each other, like a piece of art crafted with consummate skill.

Ouyang Qianyu picked up the hairpin with great joy and turned to ask the boss, "Boss, how much is this hairpin sold for?" However, the boss showed a troubled expression and replied with a slight apology, "I'm sorry, miss. This hairpin has just been reserved by another customer."

As he spoke, he lifted his head and gestured toward the second floor, continuing, "That customer just went upstairs to select other things and will come down later to pay for everything together."

Upon hearing this, a surge of displeasure welled up in Ouyang Qianyu's heart. She furrowed her brows and said angrily, "How can it count as already bought if it hasn't been paid for yet? Exactly how many taels of silver is this hairpin? This Princess today absolutely must take it into her possession!" The boss, hearing this, was instantly stunned speechless.

He thought to himself that this was trouble; how had two noble princesses come one after another, and he couldn't afford to offend either side! For a moment, the boss stood in place, caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

So he could only say, "It's not that this little one is unwilling to sell this hairpin to you! It's just that the person who reserved this hairpin just now, according to the maid beside her, is also a princess! This little one truly dares not easily offend either party.

How about this: wait a moment, and after that princess comes downstairs, the two of you can negotiate face to face?" The shopkeeper at this moment wore a face full of difficulty, yet was helpless to do otherwise.

However, our Ouyang Qianqiu has always been an arrogant and domineering sort who regards no one; why would she care if the other party is a princess? One saw her furrow her brows, purse her lips, and say rudely, "This Princess does not have that much idle time to wait here for her to come down!"

Before her words had even fallen, she swiftly pulled out a banknote with a face value of ten thousand taels from her bosom, slapped it onto the table with a "pa" sound, and shouted loudly, "This hairpin, today I have decided on it!"

Just at this moment, in the blink of an eye, the princess upstairs happened to walk down slowly. Seeing this, the shopkeeper was like a drowning man clutching a straw; he hurriedly pointed at that princess and said to Ouyang Qianqiu, "It is that woman dressed in red!"

Ouyang Qianyu looked in the direction the shopkeeper pointed, carefully sizing up this strange princess before her, and thought secretly in her heart, "I have never seen this person before; I wonder which princess she is?"

And at this time, Yan An Yu was walking down the stairs step by step, slowly and leisurely. Ever since experiencing that incident last time, she seemed like a completely different person; her originally lively and cheerful disposition had become silent and reticent.

Although the clothes she wore were still the flamboyant red she usually favored most, that originally arrogant and domineering face was now completely gone. In its place was a cold, indifferent expression that treated all things in the world with a couldn't-care-less attitude. One saw Yan An Yu descending the stairs slowly with measured steps.

Just then, Ouyang Qianyu went up to meet her and said in a loud voice, "This Princess is Ouyang Qianyu, Princess of the Xishang Kingdom! Just now that hairpin has already caught this Princess's eye; this hairpin belongs to this Princess!" Yan An Yu, hearing this, merely glanced at her indifferently, then turned her head and said to the shopkeeper, "Since this Princess likes it, then give it to her."

Ouyang Qianyu had never expected the person before her to agree so readily, and for a moment she was stunned dumb with surprise. And right at this moment, Yan An Yu finally noticed Yan Shuang'er standing to the side.

So she called out softly, "Cousin Younger Sister Shuang'er?" In fact, as early as when Yan An Yu had just stepped down the stairs, Yan Shuang'er had already recognized her. However, thinking that the Father King had previously specially instructed her, saying that since that incident last time, the Sixth Princess's entire temperament had undergone a heaven-and-earth overturning change, she had never dared to rashly step forward and strike up a conversation.

Now hearing Yan An Yu take the initiative to greet her, Yan Shuang'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned; unexpectedly, the always cold and aloof Sixth Princess would actually take the initiative to speak to her!

One saw Yan Shuang'er perform a standard and agile salute to the Sixth Princess without the slightest hesitation, a clear and pleasant voice ringing out: "Cousin Sister An Yu." Immediately after, Yan An Yu wore a smile and said gently, "I'm leaving first, oh, Cousin Younger Sister Shuang'er. You must be more careful while outside, pay attention to safety. Remember to return home early, absolutely don't let Imperial Uncle that elderly person worry too much."

Facing such a kind and amiable Sixth Princess, Yan Shuang'er couldn't help but be a bit dazed; for a moment she actually found it hard to adapt to this cousin sister who seemed like a changed person. However, thinking carefully, this change didn't seem like a bad thing. After a moment, Yan Shuang'er came back to her senses and hurriedly replied, "Understood, Cousin Sister." At this moment, Yan Shuang'er truly looked like a good elder sister who cared for her younger sister.

Only, all this happened too suddenly; Yan Shuang'er still felt a thread of unreality.

Yan An Yu paid no heed to the gazes of the surrounding people; she gave a slight nod of acknowledgment, then turned around and left, leading the maid beside her, gradually disappearing into the distance.

And Ouyang Qianqiu standing to the side, his gaze remained tightly fixed on Yan An Yu's graceful figure. He praised secretly in his heart: "What a bright, flamboyant, easygoing young woman!"

Ouyang Qianyu at the side thought secretly in her heart: "Hmph! What capital does she have to be so arrogant? She actually wouldn't even give this Princess a proper look; truly don't know what remarkable figure she is!" Thinking and thinking, she couldn't help but say angrily, "This hairpin, I don't even want it anymore!"

Finished speaking, she grabbed Yan Shuang'er's hand, making to leave. However, Ouyang Qianqiu walking behind them took advantage of the two being unprepared and quietly bought that hairpin and put it away.

Afterward, a group of people arrived at a ready-made clothing shop. Because the clothing styles of the Xishang and Dongying kingdoms differ vastly from the Dachang Kingdom, the clothing of the Xishang and Dongying kingdoms mostly adopts simple designs, emphasizing the comfort of fabrics and the convenience of wearing, giving an overall feeling of cuteness and lightness;

whereas the traditional clothing of the Dachang Kingdom places more emphasis on the beauty of dignity and steadiness. Therefore, when Shangguan Xingyu and Ouyang Qianyu stepped into the shop, their gazes were instantly attracted by the dazzling array of clothes before them, one moment looking at this piece, the next touching that piece.
