Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Only seeing Qianqian like a cheerful little bird, excitedly jumping three feet high, still cheering nonstop: "Yay yay yay! Mother is the best! Third Elder Sister is also the best!"

The words had not yet fallen before she impatiently deployed her qinggong, like a bolt of lightning rushing toward her own room, preparing to pack her luggage.

The Princess Consort looked at Yan Shuang'er, her face full of reproach, saying in a "hate iron for not becoming steel" tone: "You, you, you, you're just going to spoil her like this! I really don't know what to say about you."

However, Yan Shuang'er merely smiled faintly and responded softly: "From the current situation, the final result must be to let Qianqian go together; that way, it can actually ensure her safety."

Hearing these words, the Princess Consort couldn't help but sigh helplessly, slowly saying: "This time I and your father Wang are traveling, the return date is uncertain. Plus your Second Brother isn't in the Wangfu either; this huge Wangfu can only be temporarily entrusted to you."

Yan Shuang'er, hearing this, nodded without hesitation and replied: "Mother, rest assured, your daughter will certainly do her best to take care of the Wangfu, and absolutely won't allow any mistakes."

The Princess Consort nodded with satisfaction, saying with relief: "Entrusting the Wangfu to you, I am naturally very relieved." Yan Shuang'er smiled and said: "Then your daughter will take her leave first; it just so happens I can go back and help Qianqian pack luggage together." After speaking, she saluted the Princess Consort, then turned and left the Princess Consort's courtyard.

When Yan Shuang'er stepped into her own courtyard, she immediately saw Qianqian busily packing things. Only seeing Qianqian neatly organizing clothes and various items, while muttering something to the mantou beside her.

"Mantou, quickly help me think it over, should I bring that piece of clothing I just bought or not?" Qianqian asked Mantou with a face full of hesitation.

Mantou answered without hesitation: "Of course you have to bring it! New clothes are naturally meant to be worn when going out!"

Hearing Mantou say this, Qianqian immediately beamed with joy, nodding repeatedly: "Okay okay okay, then I'll take it!" Immediately after, she turned her gaze to the exquisite hairpin in her hand, happily asking Mantou: "Do you think this hairpin looks good? Should I wear it too?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Qianqian immediately had Mantou put away the hairpin, then ran excitedly to the wardrobe, beginning to pick and choose with great enthusiasm.

Yan Shuang'er beside her watched Qianqian's excited appearance and did not speak to stop her. Because she knew very clearly in her heart that even if Qianqian brought a few more clothes, their carriage could completely fit them.

However, seeing Qianqian had already taken a full ten sets of clothes but showed no sign of stopping, Yan Shuang'er finally couldn't help but speak up to advise: "Qianqian, you're only going out for about ten days at most this time; these ten sets of clothes are already enough, you can change into a new set every day on average!"

Hearing Yan Shuang'er's words, Qianqian couldn't help but stop her hand movements; after thinking for a while, although she felt Yan Shuang'er did make some sense, she still reluctantly pouted: "But there are still so many super beautiful clothes inside the cabinet; let me pick out my favorite ten sets from these..."

Seeing this situation, Yan Shuang'er helplessly nodded, indicating agreement, then turned to Mantou and instructed: "First take back those ten sets of clothes just selected and put them away."

Just like that, after a bout of careful selection, Qianqian finally brought a full twelve sets of clothes. Yan Shuang'er's gaze fell on Qianqian; only seeing her with a face full of helplessness, muttering: "But Third Elder Sister, these twelve sets of clothes are all my favorites; I really can't bear to leave any out!"

Yan Shuang'er, seeing this, thought for a moment, then had to compromise and say: "Alright then, since that's the case, just bring them all."

After Qianqian had properly packed her clothes, Yue Yi just happened to walk over with large strides. Qianqian looked at him with a face full of curiosity, blinking her big eyes and asking: "Yue Yi Elder Brother, why did you come?"

Yue Yi slightly bowed and saluted, then respectfully replied: "The Wangye heard that the Little Master would be going together to Dongying Guo, and specially ordered this subordinate to come inform the Little Master that although this trip is for sightseeing, official duties must absolutely not be neglected. Moreover, the martial arts sparring owed these past few days, when you return, not a single one will be missing. Debts must be repaid."

Qianqian, after hearing these words, her little face that had been beaming with smiles instantly fell, her little mouth pouted very high, and she reluctantly responded: "I know, I know..."

Yue Yi, seeing this, smiled faintly, turned and left. And Yan Shuang'er standing beside, seeing Qianqian's appearance, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Qianqian noticed Yan Shuang'er's laughter and fiercely shot her a sidelong glance.

Yan Shuang'er, seeing the situation was not good, hurriedly coughed lightly and said with a serious expression: "Qianqian, don't worry; let's first play happily to our heart's content, as for what happens after we return, we'll figure out a way to deal with it then."

Although Yan Shuang'er only spoke a few short words, it was like a spring breeze blowing into Qianqian's heart. After hearing this, the gloom in Qianqian's heart instantly vanished without a trace; her face once again bloomed with a brilliant smile, and she cheered and jumped while continuing to pack her luggage.

Meanwhile, on the other side, An Wang was handling his official business in an orderly manner. After everything was properly arranged, he tidied himself up slightly, then immediately set out on the road to the Imperial Palace.

For this majestic palace, An Wang was very familiar with it; soon he arrived before the Yudi.

The guards reported, and after receiving permission, they steadily entered. Seeing the Emperor seated behind the desk, he hurriedly respectfully performed a great salute, then respectfully said: "Greetings, Elder Brother Emperor." The Emperor merely raised his eyes slightly to glance at him, and casually responded: "Mm."

An Wang straightened up slightly, then immediately spoke: "Elder Brother Emperor, your younger subject wishes to request leave for several days." At this moment, the Emperor finally put down the brush in his hand, raised his head to gaze at An Wang, and asked in a calm tone: "What matter is the leave for?"

An Wang took a deep breath, composed himself, and replied: "Your younger subject plans to make a trip to Dongying Guo to propose a marriage for my son."

Hearing these words, the Emperor couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly nodded, indicating agreement: "Indeed it's time to make a trip; approved."

Receiving the Emperor's permission, An Wang's face showed joy, and he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Elder Brother Emperor!" However, after thanking, An Wang did not turn and leave as usual, but stood quietly in place, saying nothing.

The Emperor, seeing this, was full of doubt in his heart. According to past circumstances, after matters were settled, An Wang would have hurriedly left long ago. But today, he not only did not leave, but didn't even say a word. Thus, the Emperor had to speak again to ask: "Seventh Brother, is there something else?"
