Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Mantou carefully took out the pink skirt Qianqian had meticulously selected yesterday from the wardrobe. On the skirt hem, exquisite embroidery adorned several snow-white little flowers, like fresh wildflowers blooming among the grass in spring, exuding a faint fragrance.

When Qianqian gently put on this skirt, in an instant, her whole person bloomed like a gorgeous flower about to drip, appearing exceptionally charming and cute.

Mantou then put a lustrous pearl necklace around Qianqian's neck, as well as a pair of small and exquisite pearl earrings. The clever pairing of pink and white added a few more touches of youthful cuteness to Qianqian's originally delicate features, like a newly bloomed flower bud that made people feel pity.

Qianqian stood happily in front of the mirror, looking left and right to admire herself in the mirror, her face beaming with a happy and sweet smile. Just then, she suddenly realized everyone had already finished tidying up and was waiting for her alone.

So, Qianqian hurriedly walked with light steps to the small stool, nimbly stepped on it, and then boarded the carriage. As the coachman whipped his hand, the carriage began to move slowly, the wheels making a "gulu gulu" sound, like a melodious piece of music.

After about an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of Dongying Guo. The guards guarding the city saw this exceptionally grand procession from afar and quickly came forward to meet them. Yan Si saw this, reached out and gently lifted a corner of the curtain.

The guard recognized him at a glance and hurriedly bowed in salute, saying: "Young Master Yan, you're here again!" Yan Si nodded slightly and smiled in reply: "Yes, today I came specially to propose marriage."

The guard naturally understood who Yan Si had come to propose to this time, after all, this matter had long been spread far and wide throughout Dongying Guo, known to everyone. Therefore, the guard shouted loudly without hesitation: "Let them pass!" Then he stepped aside to clear the road, respectfully seeing the procession into the city.

The huge and magnificent procession slowly drove into the city, the sound of rolling wheels like low drumbeats, striking people's heartstrings. This procession was like a winding long dragon, heading straight toward the majestic and towering, resplendent Imperial Palace.

Along the way, the streets on both sides were crowded with onlookers. They stared with wide eyes, mouths slightly open, looking at the shocking sight before them with faces full of astonishment. Exclamations rose and fell, wave after wave like the sea, filling the entire streets and alleys.

Just then, Qianqian sitting inside the carriage gently extended her jade hand, carefully lifting a corner of the carriage curtain to look outside. That fresh and refined face was instantly exposed to everyone's gaze. The originally noisy street fell silent in an instant, but after only a moment, even more heated discussion surged in like a tide.

Someone shouted in surprise: "Eh? Isn't this Young Master Yan's carriage from before? How is there a woman sitting on the carriage?" Another person guessed in confusion: "Could it be that this young lady is a mistress, specially coming to demonstrate and declare war against our Dongying Princess?"

Immediately someone else echoed: "But speaking of which, this woman is indeed quite pretty, compared to our beautiful and noble Princess, she is actually not inferior at all! If she really stole his soul, it would be understandable."

However, someone nearby immediately warned in a low voice: "Shh—stop talking! If this reaches the Princess's ears, watch your head!" Despite this, the people's discussion showed no sign of stopping.

Qianqian had only poked her head out to look out of curiosity at the lively scene outside, never expecting this action of hers would cause such a huge commotion. Facing everyone's chatter, she was first stunned, then quickly reacted.

Only to see her pretty face slightly red, she raised her voice without hesitation and coquettishly said: "Elder Brother, my stomach is growling with hunger, I don't know if Sister-in-law has prepared any delicious dishes for us?"

Yan Si naturally understood the deep meaning contained in Qianqian's words, his expression instantly became serious, and he responded loudly without hesitation: "Not yet married, do not shout so recklessly, lest you damage the young lady's reputation!" After speaking, he sharply swept his gaze toward the crowd of onlookers around.

Qianqian seemed to be startled by Yan Si's sudden reaction, she softly answered "oh", then obediently put down the curtain in her hand and said nothing more. However, the discussion outside did not stop because of this, but became even more intense.

Only to hear someone shout loudly: "Who was just speaking recklessly about 'mistress'? This is truly slapping one's own face!" Then someone else echoed: "Surely it is Young Master Yan's younger sister, look at that appearance, simply a fairy!" With everyone's chatter, the direction of public opinion actually underwent a one hundred and eighty degree turn in the blink of an eye.

Just like this, amidst the rising and falling discussion of everyone, the carriage slowly approached the Imperial Palace Gate. Yan Si jumped down from the carriage first, and was about to reach for the waist token Shangguan Peilin had given him, when suddenly the corner of his eye caught two figures quickly walking out from inside the Imperial Palace. He looked closely, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, it turned out the people were Shangguan Xingyan and Shangguan Xingyu siblings.

Shangguan Xingyan saw Yan Si standing by the carriage at a glance, and joy instantly appeared on his face, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Yan Xiong!" And Shangguan Xingyu followed behind Shangguan Xingyan, softly calling out: "Young Master Yan!"

Yan Si saw this and hurriedly went forward to greet them both. At the same time, the other three people sitting inside the carriage heard the sounds from outside and also got up one after another to get down from the carriage.

The first to jump down from the carriage was Qianqian, only to see her like a happy little rabbit, lightly leaping down, her movements neat and clean, without any delay. Immediately, Qianqian shouted happily with a face full of joy: "Elder Sister Xingyu!"

This clear and pleasant voice echoed in the air, like a clear spring flowing through everyone's heart.

Shangguan Xingyu was slightly stunned after hearing the call, but soon her beautiful face bloomed with a smile as bright as spring flowers, and she responded excitedly: "Qianqian, so you also came!" Before her voice fell, Qianqian had already flown to Shangguan Xingyu's front like a gust of wind.

Only to see Qianqian intimately link arms with Shangguan Xingyu, the two were as close as biological sisters. Just then, An Wang also elegantly got down from the carriage. He stood tall and straight, with a heroic bearing, every gesture showing the demeanor of a king.

After An Wang got down from the carriage, he did not hurry to leave, but turned around and slowly extended his right hand toward the inside of the carriage. Immediately, a fair and slender hand, like mutton-fat jade, gently rested on An Wang's broad palm. It turned out An Wangfei was stepping on a small exquisite stool, preparing to get down from the carriage.

An Wangfei wore a magnificent brocade robe, her cloud-like hair piled high, adorned with pearls and jade, appearing dignified and noble yet not losing generosity. When her feet steadily landed on the ground, Shangguan Xingyan and Shangguan Xingyu not far away couldn't help but glance at each other, a hint of surprise and surprise appearing in their eyes.
