Yan Qianqian

Ouyang Qianyu raised his eyes to glance at Yan Shuang'er, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, smiling as he replied: "Shuang'er, I truly didn't expect you to specially come to see me off."

Speaking of which, I originally thought, how wonderful it would be if you could marry my elder brother; unfortunately, things don't always go as wished, I heard you already have a fiancé. Never mind though, if we meet again in the future, you must properly introduce us to your ideal husband!"

Hearing these words, Yan Shuang'er couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, her face slightly reddening, but she still forced herself to remain calm and nodded in response: "Alright..."

At this moment, An Wang strode forward to stand before everyone, asking: "Are all your travel preparations complete? If everything is packed properly, let us set off now." Ouyang Qianqiu said "Packed, let's go," several carriages drove side by side, the sound of horse hooves ringing clearly on the wide road, finally slowly arriving at the tall and imposing city gate entrance, where all the carriages stopped outside the city gate.

Yan Shuang'er lightly stepped down from the carriage she was riding, moving with graceful steps, and soon arrived at the carriage where Shangguan Xingyu was. She slightly raised her head and softly said to Shangguan Xingyu inside the carriage window: "Xingyu sister, the journey ahead is long; along the way please take extra care, travel slowly, and be sure to pay attention to your own safety! Remember to come back and play with me when you have time!"

Shangguan Xingyu smiled and responded: "Shuang'er sister, when you get married, don't forget to send me a wedding invitation; at that time I will definitely come to offer my congratulations." Having said this, a trace of anticipation and blessing flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, Yan Shuang'er suddenly leaned close to the carriage window, lowering her voice to whisper: "Xingyu sister, actually my fiancé is just a pretense to deceive those people from Xishang Kingdom. Also... my Second Brother is not convenient to show himself today, so he cannot come personally to see you off, but he asked me to tell you all that if there is anything, you can contact him through letters."

Shangguan Xingyan, hearing this, also spoke up: "Then please trouble Shuang'er sister to convey my farewell sentiments to Eldest Brother Yan."

Yan Shuang'er obediently nodded, indicating she would definitely deliver the message. Immediately after, Shangguan Xingyu smiled and said: "Then Shuang'er sister, we shall set off now."

"Alright, Xingyu sister, and Xingyu brother, may you have smooth travels; remember not to rush, take it slow, pay attention to safety, write if there's anything, and don't forget me!" Yan Shuang'er still felt somewhat uneasy as she urged them.

Shangguan Xingyan then instructed the coachman to prepare to continue forward. Just as the carriage was about to start, Shangguan Xingyu poked her head out of the carriage window again, waving once more toward Yan Shuang'er, before slowly sitting back inside the carriage. Yan Shuang'er, meanwhile, remained standing in place, watching the carriages gradually move farther away, unable to help but feel a surge of deep reluctance and faint sorrow in her heart.

After the Shangguan siblings had gradually moved farther away and their figures finally disappeared at the end of her sight, Yan Shuang'er moved with graceful steps, arriving slowly in front of the carriage Ouyang Qianyu was riding in. She parted her vermilion lips and similarly whispered some words of advice.

However, Ouyang Qianqiu spoke up: "Wait a moment first; let us wait for the Sixth Princess, she said she would definitely come to see us off." Not long after these words were spoken, sure enough, a carriage decorated with extreme luxury slowly approached. When this carriage drew near, they discovered that the Dongying Guo carriage had already departed first, leaving only the people from Xishang Kingdom here.

The carriage door opened, and Yan An Yu stepped down gracefully. She first went toward where An Wang and Yan Xiner were, softly greeting: "Imperial Uncle, are you well? Cousin Shuang'er is also here." An Wang nodded slightly and gave a response. Yan Shuang'er, however, shouted with a face full of joy: "Cousin An Yu, you've finally arrived! Ouyang Crown Prince has been waiting for a long time." Yan An Yu lightly nodded to show she understood, then immediately turned and walked toward the carriage of the Ouyang siblings.

At this moment, Ouyang Qianqiu and Ouyang Qianyu both got down from the carriage. Yan An Yu raised her eyes to look at Ouyang Qianqiu, speaking slowly: "The journey ahead is long; I hope you take care along the way." A smile appeared on Ouyang Qianqiu's face as he responded: "You truly came as promised to see me off, An Yu; I am truly reluctant to part with you. Could it be that you really won't reconsider?"

Between the words, a deep sense of attachment was revealed. Yan An Yu hurriedly waved her hands: "No need, really no need, you should hurry back!" As soon as Yan An Yu's words fell, the reluctance on Ouyang Qianqiu's face disappeared completely. Then Ouyang Qianqiu suddenly lowered his voice, softly asking: "I wonder if the Sixth Princess knows Tan Xintong?"

Hearing these words, Yan An Yu's delicate body trembled violently, her whole person as if struck by a Ding Body Curse, instantly stunned. After a long while, she came back to her senses, responding somewhat stiffly: "I... I don't know him." However, her somewhat flustered gaze betrayed her true inner thoughts.

Seeing this, Ouyang Qianqiu's mouth corners slightly upturned, revealing a barely perceptible smile, then continued: "But he personally told me that he misses you immensely, and he also entrusted me to bring you a letter." Saying this, he carefully took out a neatly folded letter from his bosom and handed it to Yan An Yu.

Yan An Yu gazed at the letter, her heart as if a five-flavor bottle had been overturned, various feelings surging within her. She hesitated again and again, finally reaching out to take the letter, and quickly stuffed it into her bosom. After doing these things, she seemed to let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time appeared somewhat tense and uneasy.

At this moment, Ouyang Qianqiu looked at Yan An Yu, slowly speaking: "Since Princess, you are truly unwilling to marry me, then we shall no longer disturb you. Farewell for now, hoping there will be a chance to meet again in the future." Having finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Yan An Yu.

Yan An Yu lightly nodded, responding: "Mm, let's go." Afterward, Ouyang Qianqiu and his sister together bade farewell to An Wang. Only to see them turn and board the carriage; with a flick of the whip in the coachman's hand, the wheels began to turn, the carriage gradually drove away from the spot, moving farther and farther.

After Yan An Yu bade farewell to Yan Shuang'er and An Wang, she also respectively boarded the carriage to return.

In the carriage, Yan An Yu had the palace maid go with the coachman to the carriage shaft to drive the carriage, while she alone took out the letter Ouyang Qianqiu had just given her inside the carriage, slowly opening it.
