Yan Qianqian

Shangguan Xingyu gazed at this unique handkerchief, silently musing to herself, uh... this is hard to judge!

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, it became, "This indeed shows you're still very talented! As long as you practice more, you'll definitely improve." Qianqian was overjoyed upon hearing this, and a smile as brilliant as spring flowers instantly bloomed on her face.

She lowered her head to look at the handkerchief in her hand; the small flowers embroidered on it did look somewhat strange, but for some reason, they also exuded a touch of cuteness. After all, this was a color combination carefully matched with yellow and red.

Thus, Qianqian carefully put away this precious handkerchief and softly said, "After all, this is the first thing I've embroidered with my own hands, so I'll keep it as a memento."

Shangguan Xingyu beside her smiled and nodded in agreement, "Mm, that's good. In the future, when you meet someone you fancy, you can give it to him as a love token." Qianqian nodded with slightly flushed cheeks, then without hesitation stuffed the handkerchief into her bosom.

After resting for a moment, Shangguan Xingyu picked up her needle and thread again, continuing to focus on her embroidery. Meanwhile, Qianqian gradually felt a bit bored, thinking that rather than sitting idly here, she might as well return to her own courtyard to stretch her muscles and bones.

Having made up her mind, she stood up to bid farewell to everyone, then returned to her own courtyard with light steps.

Just as she entered the courtyard, Qianqian eagerly took out the long whip she was most skilled with from the corner. This whip had been treasured by her father for a long time; its texture was tough yet light and agile.

Thinking back, An Wang had custom-made a small and exquisite whip for her, but unfortunately, as she grew older and her body became taller and taller, using that small whip made it difficult to unleash great power, so Qianqian had no choice but to store it away properly.

Since the previous whip could no longer be used, Qianqian had to seek help from An Wang again.

And An Wang, without hesitation, took out the whip he had treasured for a long time and regarded as a treasure, gifting it to Qianqian. Qianqian, upon receiving this precious gift, was overjoyed and remained happy for many days.

Nowadays, this whip in Qianqian's hands could be said to be used with ease and great smoothness. However, despite this, Qianqian still had her misgivings and dared not exert too much force, because she worried that if she used too much strength, she might accidentally strike the beautiful flowers and trees within the palace, or damage other exquisite decorations.

Just like that, after practicing for a while, Qianqian felt she really couldn't stretch her arms and legs freely. Thus, she decided to temporarily stop practicing, pondering in her heart that she must find a suitable place to properly practice martial arts.

Otherwise, when she returned home, with her current level of skill, her royal father would surely mercilessly press her to the ground and give her a harsh lesson, which would be truly miserable!

That evening at dinner, Shangguan Xingyan finally finished a whole day of busy affairs and returned to the palace. Usually, Qianqian would dine together with Shangguan Xingyu and Shangguan Xingyan, and today was naturally no exception.

When night fell and it was time for dinner, Shangguan Xingyan, who had been busy rushing about for a whole day, returned with a weary body. The three sat around the dining table and began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

During the meal, Qianqian, while picking up vegetables and chewing, occasionally raised her head to look at Shangguan Xingyan sitting opposite. Finally, she could no longer suppress the question in her heart and asked, "Xingyan Elder Brother, I want to ask you, is there a place nearby that's relatively open and quiet?"

Hearing Qianqian suddenly ask this, Shangguan Xingyan was stunned for a moment and couldn't immediately understand the true intention behind Qianqian's words.

Thus, he curiously asked, "What do you intend to use this place for?"

Only to see Qianqian eating with relish; upon hearing the question, she raised her head, still chewing food in her mouth, and answered vaguely, "Practicing martial arts! I need to practice my whip and lightness skills well. When I return home, my royal father will personally examine my martial arts progress!" After saying this, she continued to lower her head and eat heartily.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyan nodded in sudden realization, indicating he understood the reason.

Then, he said thoughtfully, "Is that so? Let me think where would be suitable for you to practice martial arts... Oh, right! Leave the city and keep walking southeast; after walking for a while, you'll see an ancient and sturdy locust tree.

Continue along this road for a short distance, and you'll see a mountain. After crossing this mountain, there will be an open field; usually, basically no one goes to that place. It's just that the journey is a bit far."

After hearing this, Qianqian put down her chopsticks, slightly furrowed her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then softly replied, "Mm, it does sound quite far."

After a brief pause, as if she suddenly thought of something, she immediately asked further, "Then is there a place specifically for practicing martial arts? Like a training ground or something?"

Shangguan Xingyan scratched his head and fell into deep thought again. After a while, he slowly responded, "As for a training ground, there definitely isn't one inside this palace. But outside the palace, there indeed is an abandoned training ground; it's just that the place is quite old and dilapidated, and very few people know of its existence."

Only to see Qianqian's eyes suddenly flash with bright light; she said excitedly with a face full of excitement, "Xingyan Elder Brother, quickly tell me where that place is?"

Shangguan Xingyu sitting beside him, upon hearing this, slowly put down her chopsticks, then extended her right index finger to lightly dip some tea water on the table, and began to draw a simple map on the table.

He explained softly while drawing, "This is the narrow alley after exiting the back gate of the palace. When you walk along this alley to the end and turn left, then pass through the dense forest ahead, you'll see the training ground we mentioned.

However... the surrounding environment there seems somewhat desolate and cold, so if you go alone, I'm afraid it won't be very safe."

Hearing this, Qianqian didn't care at all and casually waved her hand, responding in a relaxed tone, "Oh, it's nothing, Xingyan Elder Brother! I carry my whip with me; if I really encounter any danger, I can handle it easily. Besides, I won't go to that kind of place late at night; I'll go again in a hundred days."

After hearing this, Shangguan Xingyan thought for a moment and felt Qianqian's words were not without reason. After all, Qianqian's martial arts skills indeed didn't need too much worry, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Mm, that's true. Since that's the case, just be careful yourself."
