Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Before long, they arrived at the Princess Consort's courtyard. At this time, the Princess Consort had already finished washing and dressing, and was methodically directing the servants to carefully carry box after box of exquisite betrothal gifts onto the carriage.

Each of those boxes was carved with exquisite patterns and emitted a faint fragrance; one look told you that what lay inside were all precious treasures of considerable value.

Yan Shuang'er stepped forward quickly, gave a slight curtsy in salute, and asked, "Mother, are all these things already packed properly?" Hearing the voice, the Princess Consort turned her head. Seeing her beautiful and dignified daughter, she couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.

The Princess Consort smiled and replied, "Everything here is already packed properly; I wonder how Qianqian's side is faring?" Yan Shuang'er hurriedly answered, "Qianqian is doing her hair; she'll be done in a moment. It's just that Qianqian is bringing a great many things."

The Princess Consort waved her hand lightly and said softly, "No matter, the carriage has ample space and can certainly accommodate them." Yan Shuang'er nodded slightly, then asked, "What about Father?" An Wangfei replied, "Your father is discussing some matters with Yue Yi; it seems they have important business to confer on."

Yan Shuang'er nodded thoughtfully and gave a light "Oh." After learning that An Wangfei's side had already moved all items onto the carriage, An Wangfei brought Yan Shuang'er along to Frost Snow Garden.

When they arrived, they saw Qianqian, dressed in a bright red skirt, had already finished her toilette and stood there gracefully. This outfit set off Qianqian as even more delicate and charming, radiant and moving, like a peach blossom in full bloom in spring, tender and dewy.

The moment Qianqian saw An Wangfei, she called out affectionately, "Mother~" An Wangfei gazed at her flower-like jade-like daughter with a face full of kindness and asked gently, "Is everything packed properly?" Qianqian gave a playful smile and answered crisply, "All packed!"

The Princess Consort nodded in satisfaction, then instructed, "Then you check here for any other luggage that needs bringing; you may put it all on the carriage." Qianqian obediently replied, "Okay!" and immediately turned her head to shout loudly behind her, "Mantou, quickly move the items you organized yesterday onto the carriage!" Only to hear Mantou answer readily, "Yes!"

After speaking, everyone saw Mantou walk out from the bedroom, holding in her hands an extraordinarily large bundle stuffed full to bursting, bulging and swollen.

Seeing this scene, the Princess Consort secretly thought, "Girls, it's only natural to prepare more luggage when traveling." Just as she was thinking this, she saw Mian Tiao behind Mantou immediately carry out another equally large bundle.

At this point An Wangfei couldn't help but start guessing; she supposed these bundles mostly contained clothing. After all, girls are born loving beauty and liking to dress themselves up, which is perfectly understandable. However, what An Wangfei never expected was that before she could recover her wits, Baozi and Jiaozi actually jointly carried out an even larger bundle, walking out slowly!

This time, the originally still composed An Wangfei finally couldn't sit still. She stared wide-eyed, her face full of surprise as she looked at the scene before her, then turned her gaze to Qianqian beside her and asked, "Qianqian, what on earth did you bring? How come there are so many bundles?"

Hearing her mother's question, Qianqian hurriedly smiled and explained, "Mother, don't worry. Inside there are actually only twelve sets of clothes, plus some small accessories to match the clothes, that's all." As she spoke, she even pointed at those bundles.

An Wangfei nodded slightly after hearing this, but when her gaze fell again on those two super-large bundles jointly carried by Baozi and Jiaozi, she still couldn't help but curiously ask further, "Then what is inside this bundle? It looks even heavier than the other several."

Facing her mother's doubt, Qianqian answered unhurriedly, "Mother, what's placed in here are all my jewelry — necklaces, earrings, and all kinds of exquisite headwear, not a single one missing."

Hearing her daughter's words, An Wangfei was momentarily rendered speechless, not knowing how to respond.

After a moment of silence, she finally recovered and said earnestly to Qianqian, "Qianqian, although going out does indeed require wearing some jewelry to adorn oneself, there's no need to bring this many. The carriage we're riding has limited space; if there's too much luggage, I'm afraid it won't fit."

Unexpectedly, Qianqian rebutted with a face of nonchalance, "Oh Mother, you don't know. Different styles of clothes naturally must be paired with corresponding jewelry; only then can the most perfect overall look be shown. So I feel it's very necessary for every set of clothes to have its own exclusive jewelry."

An Wangfei looked at Qianqian before her with a helpless face and sighed lightly, "Qianqian, look at you — your things are really too many! Our carriage simply can't hold them.

Especially your jewelry — so many and so precious; with all the jolting on this journey, if there's any bump or knock and they get damaged, that would truly be a loss outweighing the gain!"

However, Qianqian was not swayed in the slightest by the Princess Consort's words; she still replied firmly, "Mother, rest assured. My things are quite sturdy; they absolutely won't be easily damaged.

If they really won't fit, then just add another carriage!" As she spoke, she even winked at the Princess Consort, trying to coax her way through.

Unfortunately, An Wangfei clearly wasn't buying it. She shook her head and said resolutely, "Twelve sets of clothes is fine, but jewelry at most three sets, no more! Otherwise, you don't come along."

Hearing this, Qianqian instantly grew anxious. Just as she was about to act spoiled and make a scene, she saw the Princess Consort immediately continue, "Normally I can indulge your temperament, but this time we're delivering betrothal gifts for your Second Brother. The betrothal gifts alone already number several large boxes; where is there room for so much of your jewelry? Hurry up and pick out three sets; everyone is waiting for you!"

With no choice, Qianqian could only pout her little mouth reluctantly and begin rummaging and selecting inside that jewelry-stuffed large bundle. After a good while, the originally bulging large bundle finally became somewhat smaller, leaving only the three carefully chosen sets of jewelry inside.

Seeing Qianqian had finished packing her luggage, An Wangfei finally nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more. After all of Qianqian's luggage was securely loaded onto the carriage, the Princess Consort ordered the servants to go notify An Wang and Yan Si that they could prepare to set out.
