Yan Qianqian

Inside the Yudi, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. The Emperor sat at the desk, his gaze like a torch fixed on An Wang standing below, slowly asking: "What do you think of sending General Weiyuan?" His voice was low and imposing, as if the entire room trembled slightly at these words.

An Wang straightened his body and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, this person's ability is average, but his combat ability is passable; he should be able to handle this task."

Hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, echoing within the Yudi: "Hahahaha! You little brat are really strange today! Usually you ignore those civil and military officials, but today you first argued with a civil official, then argued with a military official?"

An Wang raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a helpless smile, and replied: "Your Majesty does not know; there are some special circumstances."

The Emperor's curiosity was immediately piqued, and he hurriedly asked: "Oh? What exactly are these special circumstances? Quickly tell me so I can hear too."

An Wang hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "To be honest, Your Majesty, my eldest daughter has taken a liking to the eldest son of the Minister of War." As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor's originally stern face instantly became full of interest, and his eyes sparkled with gossip, asking impatiently: "No wonder, I thought you were in a bad mood today?"

An Wang gently shook his head and replied: "Not bad, it's fine."

Hearing this, the Emperor immediately said excitedly: "Since that's the case, should I grant an imperial marriage decree for your two families?"

An Wang hurriedly shook his head to refuse: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, but this matter is up to the children themselves; we elders shouldn't interfere too much."

The Emperor waved his hand generously and said: "Forget it, then you handle it yourself. If you need my help with an imperial marriage decree in the future, don't stand on ceremony with me."

"Subject brother thanks Your Majesty." An Wang performed a respectful bow and replied.

As soon as An Wang finished speaking, the Emperor waved his hand impatiently: "If there's nothing else, go back." Thus, An Wang bowed and took his leave, leaving the Yudi. With An Wang's departure, the Yudi returned to its usual peace.

Seeing that class at the Shangshufang was about to end, Ai Chun anxiously boarded a carriage, urging the driver to hurry to the destination. Along the way, his gaze kept scanning the street stalls, afraid of missing any delicious food.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a very lively snack stall. Ai Chun impatiently got off the carriage, carefully selected several bags of steaming hot, fragrant sugar-fried chestnuts, and also bought several portions of crystal-clear, sweet rock sugar stewed pear, and golden, crispy deep-fried crispy meat that made one drool. She held a full load of food, thinking she must make her younger brother and his friends eat happily and to their heart's content.

After arriving at the entrance of the Shangshufang, Ai Chun stood quietly waiting for her younger brother to finish school. The young servant Xiao Zhu beside her curiously looked at the big and small bags of food in her hands and couldn't help asking: "Eldest Young Master, why did you buy so much? Can Second Young Master eat it all by himself?"

Ai Chun smiled slightly, turned to look at Xiao Zhu and replied: "Ai Jiao has many good friends at the Xuetang; I need to prepare more, just in case they all like to eat, otherwise there won't be enough to share."

Just as the two were talking, three figures were seen coming from afar: they were Qianqian, Qi Xi, and Ai Jiao.

Ai Jiao saw her sister from afar, her face flushed red with excitement. Ignoring the pain in her leg, she limped toward Ai Chun, shouting loudly: "Brother!"

Seeing this scene, Ai Chun couldn't help but feel a surge of pity and quickly responded. When Ai Jiao ran up to him, he panted and pointed to Qi Xi behind him, introducing her to Ai Chun: "Brother, this is Qi Xi; she and Qianqian are desk mates."

Hearing this, Ai Chun suddenly understood. So this cute little girl was the good friend his younger brother often mentioned. He hurriedly showed a friendly smile and enthusiastically greeted the two girls: "Hello, Qianqian? Hello, Qi Xi?"

Qianqian and Qi Xi politely responded: "Hello, Ai Gege." For a moment, laughter and voices filled the entrance of the Shangshufang, as if happiness and joy permeated the air.

Ai Chun hurriedly instructed the young servant beside him: "Quickly bring the delicious food we bought on the way!" Soon, the young servant came running with a pile of fragrant food.

Ai Chun smiled and personally distributed the food, one portion per person. Just then, Yan Shuang'er, Yan Wang, and Qi Yu, who had been lagging behind, also quickened their pace to catch up.

Ai Jiao smiled all over her face and enthusiastically introduced everyone: "Brother, this beautiful sister is Sister Shuang'er; she is Qianqian's Third Young Lady; and this handsome one is Qianqian's Fourth Brother, named Yan Wang Gege; and this one here with a noble bearing is Qi Xi's elder brother, Qi Yu Gege."

After speaking, Ai Jiao raised her small hand and pointed at them one by one, seriously introducing them to her brother.

Ai Chun nodded slightly and politely replied: "Greetings, Third Young Lady Yan, Fourth Young Master Yan, Young Master Qi." However, hearing this form of address, Yan Wang was slightly stunned, then said: "Ai Eldest Brother, no need to be so polite; just call me Yan Wang."

Qianqian, standing beside, saw this and hurriedly explained in a coquettish voice: "My second brother is called Yan Si~" Hearing this, Ai Chun suddenly understood and hurriedly corrected himself: "Young Master Yan Wang, my apologies, my apologies." Yan Shuang'er and the other two also shouted in unison: "Hello, Eldest Brother Ai!"

Afterward, the group walked out together, chatting and laughing. Qianqian tightly held a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in her arms; the sweet aroma wafted out, making one drool.

Ai Chun stepped forward and kindly spoke to Qianqian: "Qianqian, how do these sugar-fried chestnuts taste? Are they delicious?" Qianqian raised her head, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, and replied happily: "Very delicious~"

Ai Chun smiled slightly and then asked: "Then tomorrow, do you have any other delicious dishes you want to eat?" Qianqian said: "So many things I want to eat, can't think of them right now." Ai Chun continued with a smile: "Then tomorrow, can your Eldest Sister come to pick you up after class?"

Qianqian nodded excitedly, patting her small chest and guaranteeing confidently: "Yes, yes! No problem, leave it to Qianqian!" After speaking, she didn't forget to wink proudly; her cute appearance left Yan Shuang'er and Yan Wang behind her speechless. (Did she just sell out her Eldest Sister?)

Afterward, everyone boarded their respective carriages to return home. Sitting in the carriage, Yan Shuang'er curiously looked at Qianqian beside her, who was happily eating crispy meat, and asked: "Qianqian, why does Eldest Brother Ai want Eldest Sister to pick you up?"

Hearing this, Qianqian, who was eating heartily, raised her head, swallowed the food in her mouth, blinked her big eyes, and asked back: "San Jie, you don't know?"

Yan Shuang'er was completely confused by this sudden counter-question and hurriedly asked: "Know what?" At this moment, Yan Wang, who had been sitting quietly aside, also couldn't help but quietly lean his head over, pricking up his ears to wait for Qianqian's next words.

Qianqian mysteriously lowered her voice and said: "Brother Ai is going to become our Eldest Brother-in-law!" As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding beside Yan Shuang'er and Yan Wang; both widened their eyes at the same time and exclaimed in unison: "Ah??????" Their surprised expressions were as if they had seen the most unbelievable thing under heaven.

After recovering slightly, Yan Shuang'er hurriedly asked Qianqian for the reason.

Thus, Qianqian vividly recounted everything, from the scene when Ai Chun first met Eldest Sister to all the interesting things that happened between them later, telling Yan Shuang'er and Yan Wang in detail. As Qianqian narrated, Yan Shuang'er couldn't help but fall into deep thought......

After the few of them slowly returned home, the lively and cute Qianqian, like a happy little bird, flew straight toward Xinxiang Yuan.

From afar, she saw Yan Xiner carefully watering the flowers in the garden with a watering can. Qianqian's eyes lit up, her face beaming with a brilliant smile; she moved her little legs and rushed toward Yan Xiner like a gust of wind.

"Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister! Qianqian misses you so much!" Accompanied by a clear and sweet shout, Qianqian threw herself into Yan Xiner's arms in the blink of an eye. Yan Xiner hurriedly put down the watering can, gently held Qianqian in her arms, and smiled, asking: "Class is over? What's the matter today, why do you miss your sister so much?"

Qianqian blinked her lively big eyes and obediently replied: "Eldest Sister, can you come to pick Qianqian up after class tomorrow?" Yan Xiner thought for a moment; since she had no important matters tomorrow, she readily nodded and agreed: "Of course, but the premise is that our Qianqian must study hard at the Shangshufang. If you can do that, Eldest Sister can come to pick you up from school every day without any problem!"

Hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Qianqian's eyes; she immediately went along with Yan Xiner's words: "Then Eldest Sister must come to pick Qianqian up every day from now on; Qianqian promises to study hard!" Yan Xiner was slightly stunned, feeling that something was off, but couldn't figure out why for a moment. Since that was the case, she simply stopped worrying about it, shook her head with a smile, and then, holding the delighted Qianqian, walked toward Shan Tang together.

Not long after, everyone gathered in Shan Tang to enjoy a sumptuous dinner together. Laughter and voices continued throughout the meal; the atmosphere was warm and harmonious...
