Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After Qianqian had carefully selected the jewelry, she turned around with a heart full of joy, her gaze landing on Yan Shuang'er.

She saw that Yan Shuang'er had already changed into a suit of bright yellow clothing; that vivid color set off her originally fair skin, making it appear even more delicate, like mutton-fat white jade.

The ribbons on the garment floated lightly onto her arms, swaying gently with her movements, as if a fairy were dancing gracefully, giving one a feeling of floating immortality.

Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned by the beautiful sight before her; she widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Which family's fairy elder sister has descended to the mortal world?" Having said that, she walked quickly to Yan Shuang'er's side, took her hand, and led her to the bronze mirror.

Yan Shuang'er's little face flushed slightly red, and she let Qianqian pull her along with some shyness. At this moment, Xiao Jin at the side moved her hands and feet nimbly and began to coil Yan Shuang'er's hair into a bun.

Her movements were practiced and swift; before long, an exquisite hair bun appeared before everyone's eyes.

Then, Xiao Jin carefully inserted the dangling hairpin that Qianqian had just selected into the hair bun; that exquisite hairpin flickered with specks of light under the candlelight, setting off Yan Shuang'er's beauty even more.

However, just as Xiao Jin had finished inserting the hairpin, a burst of cheerful suona and drum music suddenly came from beyond the courtyard wall. The sound drew nearer and nearer; clearly the wedding procession had almost arrived at the gate.

Qianqian's heart tightened, and she hurriedly urged, "Xiao Jin, quickly apply some rouge for Third Elder Sister; I'll put on her necklace and earrings!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin swiftly handed the necklace and earrings to Qianqian, then took out from the makeup case a rouge that Yan Shuang'er commonly used.

She carefully dabbed some rouge with her fingertip and lightly applied it to Yan Shuang'er's lips; her movements were gentle and meticulous, afraid of smudging Yan Shuang'er's makeup.

Qianqian carefully picked up the necklace and gently put it on Yan Shuang'er, as if the necklace in her hand were the most precious treasure in the world. She carefully adjusted the necklace's position, ensuring it fit perfectly against Yan Shuang'er's neck.

After finishing putting on the necklace, Qianqian again gently picked up the earrings and likewise carefully put them on Yan Shuang'er. The earrings glittered with faint light in the sunlight, complementing Yan Shuang'er's beauty.

At this time, Chunxi was hurrying back to the Princess Consort's courtyard with quick steps. She was frantic with anxiety, because she knew time was urgent and she could not let the Princess Consort wait long. When she finally rushed back to the courtyard, she happened to see An Wang and An Wangfei walking side by side toward the gate.

Chunxi hurriedly followed behind them, not daring the slightest negligence. An Wangfei noticed Chunxi's arrival, turned her head, and asked, "How is Shuang'er's preparation coming along?"

Chunxi hastily replied, "Third Miss's side is already ready, Princess Consort."

An Wangfei nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this and said, "That's good."

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the gate of An Wangfu. Outside, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening. Qi Ling, An Ning, and Qi Yu had long since gotten out of the carriage and stood at the gate, waiting for servants to go report to An Wang and An Wangfei.

Not long after, the gate slowly opened, and everyone's gazes involuntarily looked over. Then, two short-statured servants appeared at the gate; they nimbly pushed the doors open to both sides.

After the gate opened, the first to come into view was An Wang. Although the years had left some traces on his face, he was still remarkably handsome, without the slightest sign of middle-aged weight gain. His bearing was tall and straight, his temperament elegant, making one involuntarily captivated.

Standing beside him was An Wangfei, who had already given birth to five children but whose face was still as delicate as a young girl's.

Her attire was both dignified and appropriate; upon seeing An Ning, she immediately went up to meet her with a beaming smile, calling out warmly, "An Ning younger sister has come, have you waited long? Come in quickly! Oh, Xi Xi has come too, Qianqian has been thinking of you for a long time."

Before her words fell, An Wangfei stepped forward quickly, taking An Ning's hand with one hand and leading Qi Xi's little hand with the other, walking straight into the house. Qi Xi obediently called out, "Princess Consort, Xi Xi greets you; Uncle An Wang, greetings." An Wangfei responded happily to her, and An Wang also nodded at her.

Then An Wang stepped forward and made a welcoming gesture toward Qi Ling and Qi Yu, saying at the same time, "Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing this, Qi Ling was just about to bow and salute, to pay respects to An Wang, but was stopped by An Wang's quick eyes and hands. An Wang said with a smile, "No need for formalities." Hearing An Wang's words, Qi Ling hurriedly responded "Good," then glanced at his own son.

Qi Yu understood instantly and immediately called out obediently, "Uncle An Wang, greetings; Aunt Princess Consort, greetings!" His voice was no longer as childish as before, carrying a touch more maturity and steadiness, making one involuntarily feel joy upon hearing it. An Wang smiled and nodded, acknowledging Qi Yu's greeting.

Seeing this, An Wangfei also smiled and said to Qi Yu, "Yu'er is dressed especially handsomely today!"

This praise made Qi Yu a little embarrassed; his little face flushed slightly red, and he hurriedly said, "Aunt Princess Consort overpraises."

An Wangfei laughed lightly again at this, then said, "Come in quickly, don't stand outside." Finishing speaking, she took the lead pulling An Ning and Qi Xi into the house, the other three men following behind them.

By the time the main gate slowly closed, the discussions of the crowd outside had not stopped; on the contrary, they grew even more clamorous.

"This Young Master Qi actually came to An Wangfu to propose marriage?" someone shouted in surprise.

"You don't know about this, right? It's said..." The speaker deliberately paused, selling a cliffhanger, making the others pricking up their ears anxious like ants on a hot pan.

"Said what? Speak quickly!" urging voices came from the crowd.

Seeing everyone so eager, this person didn't dare continue selling the cliffhanger, fearing they might get beaten later, so they hurriedly said, "It's said this Young Master Qi and Third Miss studied together in the Shangshufang; they've known each other since then, truly childhood sweethearts!"

"Oh, so that's how it is." someone realized suddenly.

"However, I heard this Young Master Qi is just a minor official; Third Miss is a Commandery Princess after all, how does he dare come propose marriage?" another person raised a doubt.

"That you don't know; I heard from my second aunt's family, the husband of her daughter's younger sister's younger brother's son said that when he was studying at Shangshu Fu, those two often ate together and went out to play together; they probably secretly developed feelings!" this person explained.

"Oh, if you put it that way, it also counts as lovers finally becoming a couple." someone chimed in.

Everyone discussed heatedly; after a while, still no one came out, some couldn't wait and had already dispersed, but some with nothing better to do and full of curiosity still waited at the gate.
