Yan Qianqian

Ai Chun's agile figure leapt down from the carriage first; immediately after, he carefully helped the other three alight one by one, maintaining just the right distance throughout and never touching Yan Xiner's hand.

Like a true gentleman, he extended his arm with extreme elegance, his posture as perfect as a sculpture, causing Yan Xiner to naturally place her hand on his arm and descend slowly.

In that instant, a flicker of unusual fondness for Ai Chun arose in Yan Xiner's heart. She had originally thought that after seeing off the two, she could return home, but her own little brother, even limping on one leg, insisted on going to play at An Wangfu. Ai Chun had no choice but to say apologetically, "Sorry for the disturbance." Then the four walked together in neat steps into that mysterious place.

At this time, in the courtyard where the Princess Consort lived, Chunxi rushed in like a whirlwind, her hurried footsteps echoing in the quiet courtyard, as if plucking at everyone's heartstrings. "Princess Consort, great news, great news!" Chunxi shouted, her face flushed red, panting for breath.

The Princess Consort slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she still said gently, "What great news? You're such a grown person, be steady." Chunxi tried to calm her breathing, excitement glowing on her face, and stammered, "It's the Eldest Miss, the Eldest Miss has brought a man back."

These words were like a stone cast into a calm lake, instantly stirring ripples, and the whole courtyard was filled with an inexplicable tension and anticipation... The Princess Consort stood frozen in place for a full three seconds, surprise and panic flashing in her eyes; her usually dignified and composed face was now slightly flushed, her heart as if countless little deer were bumping about inside. Immediately after, she instructed the Nainai without hesitation to make sure to watch Yan Jie well.

She herself, like a swift wind, grabbed Chunxi's sleeve and hurried out, muttering nonstop, "Where, where, where did the person go?"

Seeing this, Chunxi quickly followed with small steps, anxiously replying, "Princess Consort, you're such a grown person, you must be steady. Don't rush first; go sit in the Front Hall and wait. Your servant will immediately bring the person to you."

After hearing this, the Princess Consort paused slightly, as if trying to calm her inner unease, then lightly tidied her magnificent clothing and said slowly, "You make sense. Then quickly bring the person to this Princess Consort in the Front Hall."

After speaking, she turned and walked toward the Shufang. At this moment, An Wang was sitting quietly at the desk, holding a scroll, reading with focused attention, when suddenly he saw the Princess Consort rush in in a fluster, her hurried footsteps sounding especially clear in the quiet Shufang.

As soon as the Princess Consort entered, she impatiently said to him, "Quick, come with me to the Front Hall!" An Wang's face showed a deep look of doubt, confusion flashing in his eyes, and he asked softly, "Who has come?" While tightly grabbing An Wang's arm, the Princess Consort quickly replied, "Xin'er has brought a man back."

Hearing this, An Wang's heart jolted, surprise and wariness flashing in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What man?" The Princess Consort now seemed at a loss, merely saying vaguely, "You'll know when you go."

So the two walked quickly out of the Shufang together and came to the Front Hall. The Princess Consort sat first in the main seat, slightly straightening her back, her hands naturally resting on her knees, a hint of tension and anticipation in her eyes, while gesturing to the Servant beside them to serve them a cup of steaming hot tea. Wisps of green smoke rose from the tea in the cup, as if carrying a mysterious aura, waiting for the revelation of the event about to unfold.

Chunxi asked the gatekeeper with a puzzled face where the Eldest Miss had gone, and the gatekeeper respectfully replied, "The Eldest Miss's party went to the stables." After speaking, Chunxi hurried toward the stables, anxious as if on fire.

The moment she stepped into the stables, she saw two children petting Honghong and chattering away; looking more closely, she saw her own Eldest Miss Yan Xiner standing side by side with a man, talking about something.

Only hearing the man's voice soft and melodious, like warm and smooth jade, he slowly said, "I do not know if the Wangye and Princess Consort are at home; this sudden visit to disturb them, after all, one should still say hello first."

Just then, Chunxi hurried over with quick steps, bowed respectfully to Yan Xiner, and said softly, "The Wangye and Princess Consort are both here. Hearing that a distinguished guest has arrived today, the Princess Consort specially instructed me to come and invite you."

Hearing this, Yan Xiner's heart surged with curiosity, and she asked eagerly, "Then where are my father and mother now?" Chunxi bowed slightly, smiling, and replied, "They are waiting in the Front Hall right now. Eldest Miss, you might as well go with this Young Master together." Yan Xiner nodded obediently and replied, "Alright."

Immediately after, Chunxi, still uneasy, repeatedly instructed the buns and noodles to take good care of the two mischievous little brats. However, Ai Jiao, hearing she could meet the legendary An Wang, had excitement flash in her eyes and immediately said, "I am also a guest; logically I should go say hello too. I want to go together."

Hearing that Ai Jiao would also go together, Qianqian followed without hesitation. The five walked toward the Front Hall together, Chunxi in the lead, the two little brats behind, and Yan Xiner and Ai Chun walking one after the other at the back. Ai Chun and Ai Jiao were both nervous, pondering along the way...
