The corner of Shangguan Peilin's mouth curved up slightly as he said with a light laugh, "I originally only wanted to make things a bit difficult for him, never expecting he would agree so readily. But then, since he agreed, I instead feel this is for the best; this way, my beloved daughter won't have to marry far away to a foreign land!"

Hearing this, a flash of surprise and delight passed through Shangguan Xingyu's beautiful eyes, and she hurriedly asked, "Then, Imperial Father, does this mean you agree?" Seeing this, Shangguan Peilin hurriedly nodded, indicating consent. Shangguan Xingyu said with satisfaction, "Since it is so, this daughter understands. Many thanks, Imperial Father! Imperial Father, you manage myriad affairs daily, you must be very busy; this daughter will take her leave first."

Finished speaking, she turned to leave, but as if recalling some important matter, she stopped her steps and added, "Also, about letting him become a son-in-law living with the wife's family, let's forget it."

Finished speaking, without waiting for Shangguan Peilin to respond, she walked straight toward the door. Shangguan Peilin watched his daughter's receding figure and shook his head helplessly, muttering, "Truly a married daughter is like spilled water; kept and kept, nearly brewed worry..." Eunuch Xi standing beside Shangguan Peilin kept his head lowered the whole time, not daring to let out a breath.

After Shangguan Xingyu stepped out of the Imperial Study, she did not hesitate in the slightest and headed straight for Shangguan Xingyan's bedchamber. At this moment, the two who had long since received word from palace maids were waiting anxiously inside the bedchamber.

When Shangguan Xingyu arrived hurriedly at the bedchamber door, she suddenly slowed her steps, reached out to lightly smooth a few disordered strands of hair, and only then slowly entered the room. Just as she stepped through the door, a servant announced in a loud voice, "Eighth Princess arrives!"

At this moment, the two sitting on stools appeared restless; they kept drinking water, as if this could relieve their inner anxiety. Suddenly, as if hearts connected, both stood up simultaneously, gazes shooting in unison toward the doorway.

Just then, a radiant figure appeared at the door. Shangguan Xingyu, dressed in magnificent palace attire, walked over gracefully; her makeup was exquisite beyond compare, like a fairy descended to the mortal world.

Upon entering, Shangguan Xingyan rushed forward impatiently and asked urgently, "Younger Sister, how did it go? What exactly did Imperial Father say?" Although Yan Si beside them made no sound, from his anxious eyes one could clearly feel he was equally frantic.

Shangguan Xingyu took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Imperial Father originally only wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him, but who knew, after he himself finished speaking, he felt this idea was quite good. Even more coincidentally, Yan Si also expressed agreement at the time, so Imperial Father went along with it and accepted the situation."

Hearing this, Yan Si understood completely; he hurriedly said, "Since it is so, good, I will hurry back and report to my father about the matter of going to Dongying as a son-in-law."

Before his words fell, he turned to retrieve the bundle placed to the side. However, just as he took a step, he suddenly felt a hand tightly grasp his arm.

Yan Si's body instantly stiffened; he slowly turned to look at Shangguan Xingyu holding him, and asked stammeringly, "Wh... what is it?"

Shangguan Xingyu parted her vermilion lips and said slowly, "I have already mentioned the son-in-law matter to Imperial Father; this matter is dropped. And regarding the matter between the two of us, Imperial Father also expressed agreement!"

"So, we don't need to rush back now; we can stay in Dongying a few more days to enjoy ourselves to the fullest, and return later to discuss the marriage alliance matters."

Hearing this, Yan Si was struck as if by lightning, frozen in place. He stared wide-eyed, looking at Shangguan Xingyu in disbelief, as if unable to believe what he had heard.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and murmured, "You... is what you said true? Your Imperial Father really agreed?"

Seeing Yan Si's utterly shocked appearance, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing lightly, replying coquettishly, "Of course, would this Princess deceive you?"

At this moment, Yan Si's heart surged with stormy waves; his excitement was beyond words. He danced with joy, muttering incessantly, "Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

Immediately after, he seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly said, "No, I must first go thank the Emperor in person!"

Seeing this, Shangguan Xingyu hurriedly reached out to stop him, persuading gently, "Hey, don't rush. Imperial Father is annoyed right now, probably doesn't want to see you. How about this: wait until evening, then find a suitable opportunity to visit, how about that?"

Yan Si pondered briefly, felt Shangguan Xingyu's words were not without reason, and nodded in agreement, "Fine, then as you say. Since it's like this, why don't we go out for a big meal to celebrate first? Today's on me; I'll treat you to Dongying's delicious cuisine." Speaking, he took Shangguan Xingyu's jade hand, eager to head out.

Shangguan Xingyu gently pulled her hand free from Yan Si's grasp and said with a charming smile, "Sure, but I need to return to my bedchamber to change clothes first; we'll meet at the palace gate later."

Yan Si nodded repeatedly in promise, "No problem, I'll wait respectfully at the palace gate for your arrival!" Before his words fell, Shangguan Xingyu had already turned and left, leaving only a clear, beautiful back view and a string of laughter like silver bells.

Yan Si was excited like a child, hugging Shangguan Xingyan tightly, hopping and jumping, his face beaming with incomparable joy, as if immersed in a beautiful dream.

As for Shangguan Xingyan, she wore a helpless expression, yet did not break free from Yan Si's embrace, merely watching quietly the overjoyed person before her, secretly thinking: If one day in the future I can enter the marriage hall with my beloved woman, would I also lose composure like this?

Time flew by; in a blink, Yan Si had already stayed in Dongying for three or four days. These days, he thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the Shangguan siblings; however, seeing the return date approaching, Yan Si knew in his heart that his family, especially An Wangfei, must be frantic with worry by now.

Thus, despite ten thousand reluctances in his heart, Yan Si resolutely decided to set foot on the road home.

Before departure, Yan Si gazed at Shangguan Xingyu with deep affection, eyes full of tenderness and reluctance. He said softly, "Yu'er, you must wait for me to return and marry you!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help blushing, nodding slightly in agreement. Shangguan Xingyan at the side truly couldn't bear watching the two unable to part, and waved her hand impatiently, "Alright alright, hurry up and go! Don't be lovey-dovey here; there will be plenty of time to meet in the future."
