Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Seeing this, Ai Jiao hurriedly explained patiently: "It's like this, Father specially went to plead with An Wang, hoping he would allow me to follow you to the army camp for training. Later, An Wang sent someone to inform Father, agreeing to my request and letting me set out with you tomorrow. Don't you know about this, Brother Yan Wang?" Hearing these words, Yan Wang shook his head and replied: "I've only just returned, and indeed no one has told me about it."

Hearing this, Ai Jiao thought for a moment, then immediately proposed: "Since that's the case, why don't you go ask An Wang now? That way you can confirm the specific situation." Yan Wang nodded and responded: "Alright, then wait here for a moment." Having said that, he turned and strode away, hurrying toward An Wang's study.

After lightly knocking on the door, he heard a deep and authoritative voice from inside: "Enter!" Receiving permission, Yan Wang pushed open the door and slowly walked into the room. As soon as he entered, he respectfully called out: "Father."

At this moment, An Wang was sitting upright at the desk. Hearing the call, he raised his head, and when his gaze fell on Yan Wang before him, whose appearance was quite similar to his own, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, his eyes somewhat dazed, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to many years ago.

Back then, Qianqian had just been born, and Yan Wang was still a little child, held in the nanny's arms, with a runny nose, looking innocent and naive. Time flies, and now Yan Wang has grown into a handsome youth, his eyebrows and eyes full of An Wang's youthful charm.

Seeing An Wang somewhat distracted, Yan Wang couldn't help but call out softly again: "Father..." This time, An Wang finally came back to his senses, a smile appearing on his face, and asked: "Wang'er is back? You've come in such a hurry, what is the matter?"

Yan Wang quickly replied: "Father, Ai Jiao came to see me." Upon this reminder, An Wang suddenly remembered there was still an important matter he had forgotten to tell Yan Wang.

He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said: "Wang'er, a few days ago, Ai Jiao's father came to visit me, hoping I would let him go to the army camp for training. Ai Jiao is a child I've watched grow up since she was young; she is upright in character, diligent and eager to learn, indeed a rare good child. When you return to the army camp tomorrow, take him with you, and go directly to report to Wang Ting. Once in the army, if within your power, you must take good care of him."

Hearing this, Yan Wang's lips curved slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Father, the care you speak of, is it like the special treatment you gave me before?"

Hearing Yan Wang's words, An Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, you little brat, you actually hold such a grudge!" Hearing this, Yan Wang's lips also curved slightly, revealing a smile as he responded: "Although I understand in my heart that Father did this entirely out of love and expectations for me, this special treatment, I'm afraid will make me remember it for many years."

An Wang looked at this stubborn and somewhat childish son before him, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Your grudge-holding nature is simply just like mine." Having said that, a hint of barely perceptible indulgence flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Yan Wang felt he had already gotten the answer he wanted from his father, so he cupped his hands in salute and said: "Since that's the case, then this son will take his leave first, not to disturb Father's rest. Ai Jiao is waiting in my courtyard right now." An Wang nodded slightly, indicating permission: "Mm, go quickly."

Yan Wang turned and left, his steps hurried as he rushed back to his own courtyard. Before even stepping through the courtyard gate, he saw Ai Jiao running toward him from afar to welcome him. Seeing Ai Jiao's face full of concern as she asked: "Brother Yan Wang, how is it?" Yan Wang smiled slightly and replied softly: "Father told me, remember to pack your luggage and wait for me to pick you up at Shen Hour tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ai Jiao nodded excitedly and agreed: "Okay!" Immediately, she impatiently asked again: "Then Brother Yan Wang, what do we need to prepare to go to the army camp?" Yan Wang thought for a moment and answered: "Just bring some silver."

However, Ai Jiao seemed not satisfied with this simple answer, continuing to ask curiously: "Anything else?" Yan Wang glanced at her and explained patiently: "The army camp has all kinds of supplies basically complete; if anything is missing, we can purchase it then." Having said this, he said no more.

Hearing this, Ai Jiao suddenly understood and hurriedly responded: "I understand, Brother Yan Wang!" Yan Wang nodded slightly to show he knew, then turned back into the room, casually took a military book from the bookshelf, and leisurely flipped through it.

Seeing this scene, Ai Jiao knew it was inconvenient to continue disturbing him, so she left quietly on tiptoe, preparing to return to her own residence.

Night fell, lamps were first lit, and when dinner time arrived, to everyone's surprise, the family members actually gathered together unusually.

Even Yan Si, who had been away from home for over a month, at this moment stepped into the home covered in dust. As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Yan Wang, and he immediately grinned: "Yo, Wang'er is actually back! Look at this, you're almost as tall as Father!" Hearing this, Yan Wang put down the book in his hand, stood up to welcome him, and smiled in response: "Mm, Second Brother."

After Yan Si sat down, everyone picked up their chopsticks, about to eat heartily. At this time, Yan Wang instead took the initiative to chat with Yan Si, curiously asking: "Second Brother, where did you go this time? I remember last time you returned home, you didn't show up."

Yan Si smiled and replied: "A few days ago, I went to Dongying Guo. Since Shangguan Xingyan's bookstore has been operating quite well, Shangguan Xingyan proposed that we might as well get involved in foreign trade. So, the two of us discussed this in depth. Regarding the Emperor of Dongying..."

Speaking to this point, Yan Si paused slightly, then continued: "Under Shangguan Xingyan's strong praise of me, the Emperor of Dongying also trusted me quite a bit, expressing willingness to give a chance to try. However, after careful consideration, I felt this matter ultimately still needs to ask our own country's Emperor for his opinion!"

After all, if we directly bypass the Emperor to act, it seems like we have the suspicion of disrespecting imperial authority! Therefore, I hurried back this time specifically to seek the Emperor's opinion on this matter."

Just then, An Wang standing beside spoke: "Mm, I think this idea of yours is quite feasible. This way, tomorrow, when I find a suitable opportunity, I will mention this matter to the Emperor. If the Emperor agrees, then naturally arrangements will be made for you to enter the palace and discuss the details with him." Hearing his own father so firmly support him, Yan Si couldn't help but feel a warm current surge in his heart, his moved feelings evident on his face.

Speaking to this point, Yan Si paused slightly, then continued: "Under Shangguan Xingyan's lavish praise of me, the Emperor of Dongying also trusts me greatly, expressing willingness to give me a chance to try. However, after careful consideration, I feel this matter ultimately still requires asking our own Guo's Emperor for his opinion!"

After all, if we act directly bypassing the Emperor, it seems we would appear to have contempt for Imperial Authority! Therefore I specially rushed back this time to seek the Emperor's view on this matter."

Just then, An Wang standing Beside spoke: "Hmm, I too think your idea is quite feasible. This is how it will be: tomorrow, when I find a suitable opportunity, I will mention this matter to the Emperor.

If the Emperor agrees, arrangements will naturally be made for you to enter the Gong and discuss the details with him." Hearing his own father Wang so firmly support him, Yan Sixin could not help but feel a warm current rise in his heart, his moved emotions overflowing in expression.
