Yan Qianqian

After Eunuch Sun finished reading this imperial edict, everyone present knelt down in unison, shouting, "The Emperor is wise."

The Emperor was very pleased with everyone's reaction, smiling and nodding to signal them to rise. Afterwards, Eunuch Sun continued, "Continue the music." Then he slowly withdrew.

In this war, Ai Jiao also achieved remarkable military exploits. Although the Emperor did not issue a special imperial edict for him, just yesterday Yan Wang had already told him that the Emperor was fully aware of his achievements.

When he returns to the army, he will be promoted to Xiao Jiao. As for other rewards, the Ministry of Rites will distribute them uniformly, so he need not worry too much.

Ai Jiao was naturally broad-minded and would not dwell on this matter. Throughout the banquet, he was in high spirits, fully enjoying the food and the festive atmosphere.

Seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the Emperor rose from his seat. His departure was like a signal; seeing this, others also rose one after another, saluted the Emperor, and withdrew in succession.

After the Emperor and the other guests had left, Ai Jiao then quickly stepped forward to Tang Qi, cupping his hands with a smile and saying, "Eldest Brother Tang, you truly are deep and unfathomable! I and Wang were both kept in the dark by you, completely unaware that you are actually the son of the Zhenbei Marquis!"

Tang Qi smiled slightly and replied modestly, "Eldest Brother Ai, you flatter me. Once in the army camp, we are all brothers; why bother with these identities?"

Before his words finished, Yan Wang also came over and said, "Yes, Eldest Brother Tang is right. However, today the Emperor specially gave us three days off; tomorrow we can go drinking together to celebrate properly!"

Tang Qi and Ai Jiao, upon hearing this, responded in unison, "Good!" The three smiled at each other and immediately began discussing the specific arrangements for drinking tomorrow.

Once everything was settled properly, they said no more, each turning to prepare to leave.

At the same time, as the banquet at An Wang Fu was about to end, everyone there had also eaten enough. So they all rose, bid farewell to the host, and left the banquet scene.

Back home, everyone rested briefly before returning to their rooms to rest. That night, everyone slept especially soundly, after all Yan Wang had returned safely, and the hearts they had been holding high could finally be put down.

Meanwhile, the Shangshufang also specially gave three days off to celebrate Yan Wang's return.

Today Yan Jie did not need to go to school, An Wang needed to attend court session, and everyone else could sleep until the sun was three poles high. After everyone woke up, Yan Wang washed up briefly, had a simple breakfast, and then went straight to the Wuchang to practice martial arts, quietly waiting for noon to drink and make merry with Tang Qi and Ai Jiao.

After Qianqian had breakfast, she took Hua Hua to the Dark Guard Camp. Upon arriving at the destination, Hua Hua immediately went to arrange the matters of today's promotion assessment, while Qianqian waited leisurely on the Lian Wu Tai.

She looked down below and saw that those coming to participate in the assessment were bustling and numerous, truly quite a lot. Qianqian couldn't help but feel weary, yawning repeatedly, and secretly thought to herself: "This promotion assessment must be changed next time; otherwise, relying on me alone, when will I ever finish fighting!"

Just as she was pondering, Qianqian suddenly caught sight of someone in the line who looked quite familiar.

Looking closely, wasn't it Wangchen? Counting on her fingers, the timing was right; more than three months had passed, and Wangchen had already prepared for promotion, quite fast indeed. Qianqian sighed inwardly, and soon after, Hua Hua flew onto the Leitai like a flying swallow and whispered in Qianqian's ear: "Master, everything is ready, we can begin."

Qianqian took a deep breath, slowly pulled her thoughts back to reality, and said softly: "Mm, okay, begin."

She adjusted her state slightly; her originally somewhat unserious appearance instantly converged, replaced by a look of seriousness and focus.

As Hua Hua announced names one by one, the contestants took turns entering the ring to engage in fierce duels with Qianqian. However, it was not until the fifth contestant entered that Qianqian's expression truly became serious.

Because the person who entered was precisely Wangchen.

Qianqian looked closely, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth as she teased: "Yo, Wangchen, your promotion speed is truly fast!"

Wangchen had originally been somewhat uneasy in his heart, after all it had been three months since he last saw his Master, and he worried his Master might have forgotten him. But unexpectedly, just as he entered the ring, his Master immediately called out his name.

In that moment, an indescribable joy surged in Wangchen's heart, but his face still maintained an indifferent expression as he lightly replied: "Wangchen wishes to serve his Master as soon as possible."

Hearing his words, Qianqian's smile at the corner of her mouth faded slightly, and she said: "Since that is the case, then make your move."

Before her words finished, Qianqian's figure flashed, rushing toward Wangchen like a swift wind, with such speed that it was astonishing. Her attack was like thunder, giving Wangchen no time to react at all.

However, Qianqian did not know that from the moment Wangchen stepped onto the arena, he had already entered a state of high alert, always prepared to deal with any of Qianqian's attacks.

After all, this promotion meant a great deal to him; it concerned whether he could successfully become his Master's personal dark guard.

Such an important opportunity, once missed, the next time might be indefinitely far off. Therefore, he dared not be the slightest bit careless; as soon as he entered the ring, he was as vigilant as facing a great enemy, focusing his spirit to twelve parts.

Just then, Qianqian suddenly spoke to him, but he did not relax his vigilance because of it. As expected, before Qianqian's words finished, she attacked him like lightning. Seeing this, Wangchen immediately dodged swiftly, his movements agile as a cunning rabbit.

Qianqian was obviously very surprised by Wangchen's reaction speed; she had not expected Wangchen's reaction to be so fast. This made her look at Wangchen with new eyes, and she secretly admired him in her heart.

However, Wangchen did not fight back, but only kept dodging Qianqian's attacks. Even after more than ten rounds of combat, he still had no intention of counterattacking at all.

After a brief separation, Qianqian couldn't help but shout at Wangchen: "Wangchen, fight back!"

Wangchen didn't think about it at all and replied without hesitation: "Wangchen will never make a move against his Master."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Qianqian knew persuasion was futile, so she simply said no more, but instead continued to attack Wangchen with all her might.

However, no matter how fiercely Qianqian attacked, Wangchen was always able to narrowly dodge at the critical moment. Just like that, the two went back and forth, fighting for nearly forty rounds.

Finally, Qianqian stopped her movements and said: "Passed, you may withdraw."
