Yan Qianqian
Not long after, Yan An Yu was seen wearing a red gauze skirt, walking slowly with a graceful figure, accompanied by a palace maid at her side. Ouyang Qianqiu raised his eyes and immediately spotted that beautiful figure, hurriedly stood up to welcome her forward, and greeted her with a smile full of his face: "Sixth Princess!"
However, Yan An Yu's face was cold as frost, moving with light lotus steps to Ouyang Qianqiu's front, saying without a shred of courtesy: "Last time this palace has already spoken clearly enough, does Ouyang Crown Prince still have something he doesn't understand?" While speaking, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing strands of coldness in her gaze.
Ouyang Qianqiu gazed at the beauty before him, unable to help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, but still unwilling to give up, he opened his mouth and said: "Sixth Princess, to be honest, this crown prince and my younger sister will set off to return to our country the day after tomorrow. Before that, I still hope Sixth Princess can consider it carefully once more."
"If you are willing to marry me, although you can only be a concubine, this crown prince guarantees to you that I will surely bestow upon you treatment equal to that of the Crown Princess. Any rare and precious items, this crown prince will without hesitation send them first into your hands. Furthermore, the Crown Princess is merely marrying for family interests; there is not much true affection between us."
"In the future, after you marry into the Eastern Palace, this crown prince will surely dote on you excessively and favor you alone in a separate chamber." After speaking, he looked at Yan An Yu full of expectation, hoping to catch a trace of a moved expression on her face.
Unexpectedly, after Yan An Yu heard these words, she actually laughed coldly, as if she had heard the greatest joke under heaven, only Yan An Yu slightly opened her vermilion lips and said: "Isn't it good for this princess to be my noble princess in Dachang Kingdom? My Huangdi dotes on me in every way; as long as it's something I want, there is nothing I cannot get."
"Now I am forced to marry far away to Xishang, not only having to share my husband with other women, but afterwards I would have to rely on your favor to survive. Unless this princess's head has taken in water, how could I be willing to marry beneath you!"
Just as these words fell, Ouyang Qianyu beside could no longer hold back her temper and interrupted: "How can you speak like this? My imperial elder brother taking a fancy to you is..."
However, before she finished speaking, Ouyang Qianqiu quickly covered her mouth. Ouyang Qianqiu said with a slightly apologetic tone: "Truly sorry, my younger sister is usually spoiled by everyone, resulting in her speaking without choosing her words. Please Sixth Princess do not take offense. Since Sixth Princess is unwilling, let this matter be dropped. However, we will set off to return to the city the day after tomorrow; I wonder if Sixth Princess can grant us the honor of seeing us off for a stretch?"
There is a saying: a smiling face is not struck. Yan An Yu looked at Ouyang Qianqiu's sincere and humble attitude; although she had myriad dissatisfaction in her heart, at this moment she could not bear to outright refuse. After thinking for a moment, she softly replied: "I don't know when you all plan to set off?" Ouyang Qianqiu hurriedly answered: "Depart at the Chen Hour."
Yan An Yu slightly nodded, indicating she knew: "Fine, this princess remembers." After speaking, Yan An Yu led the palace maid away without looking back, leaving only a gradually receding silhouette.
At this time, Ouyang Qianyu was still indignant in her heart; she angrily complained to her elder brother beside her: "Elder Brother, look at what her attitude is! She is so arrogant and domineering, simply not putting us two in her eyes at all! Yet you actually treated her with such a kind and pleasant countenance, truly making me so angry!"
Ouyang Qianqiu listened to his younger sister's complaints and couldn't help but feel annoyed; he furrowed his eyebrows and rebuked: "Didn't I remind you just now? I told you absolutely not to act so impulsively; what if she gets unhappy and refuses to go?"
Ouyang Qianyu didn't take it to heart, pouting her little lips and muttering: "If she doesn't go, then she doesn't go; what's the big deal? Who cares about her going!"
Ouyang Qianqiu helplessly sighed and said softly: "If she really doesn't go, then how would our carefully planned plan be implemented?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Qianyu finally realized the seriousness of the problem as if waking from a dream; she only then remembered that she had almost ruined things just now, and couldn't help but feel fearful.
Just as she wanted to speak, a large hand quickly covered her mouth; it turned out Ouyang Qianqiu was worried she would say something she shouldn't. Until confirming no one around had heard, Ouyang Qianqiu then released his hand and again instructed: "In the future, when doing things, absolutely cannot be so rash and impulsive; everything must be thought through carefully before acting!"
Ouyang Qianyu obediently nodded and replied: "I know, Elder Brother." Afterwards, the two siblings walked out of the Imperial Palace together.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, it was the time for everyone to set off the next day. According to the agreement, the Shangguan siblings would depart punctually at the Chen Hour. At this moment, two lavishly decorated carriages had already stopped at the entrance of the Yizhan, fully prepared for departure.
Not long after, a carriage from An Wangfu slowly drove over. After the carriage stopped steadily, the carriage curtain was gently lifted; the first to alight was Yan Shuang'er, her figure graceful and her steps light; while An Wang was somewhat more steady, coming down from the carriage last.
Yan Shuang'er walked forward with light steps, tightly holding Shangguan Xingyu's hand, tears glimmering in her eyes, and softly said: "Elder Sister Xingyu, I truly can't bear for you to leave! When you have free time in the future, you must come often to find me to play!"
Shangguan Xingyu also held Yan Shuang'er's hand back with equal reluctance, her voice slightly choked as she responded: "I also can't bear for you to leave, Younger Sister Shuang'er. If you have time, you can also come to Dongying Guo to find me to play; before you come, you must remember to notify me, I will surely arrange everything properly!"
The two little girls just held hands like this, chattering about their mutual longing and reluctance. Just then, Ouyang Qianyu slowly walked out from inside the house. Yan Shuang'er thought, since she had already seen her, it wouldn't do to pretend not to see, so she bit the bullet and walked forward.
Smiling at Ouyang Qianyu, she said: "Princess Ouyang, have your luggage items all been tidied up? The journey is distant; absolutely do not forget to bring the things you need. Along the way, be extra careful; walk slowly on the road, absolutely pay attention to safety..."
