Yan Qianqian

By the time the three of them arrived home, the sky had already slowly darkened. The gatekeeper learned that the Prince had returned and hurried off to report to the Princess Consort. Upon hearing the news, the Princess Consort immediately brought the eldest daughter to the gate to welcome them (Yan Xiner was in the Princess Consort's room keeping her company; hearing that Father King and her younger brother and sister had returned, she followed the Princess Consort to the gate).

The Princess Consort reached the gate, looking at the three of them with a beaming smile, and said, "Yo, the little troublemakers are back." The moment Yan Qianqian caught sight of her Mother Consort, she "whoosh" threw herself into her arms, rubbed against the Princess Consort, and said in a coquettish voice, "Mother, I did a good deed today." The Princess Consort glanced at her daughter and asked gently, "What happened?" Then with one arm around her daughter and the other holding Yan Wang's little hand, she walked toward the inner courtyard. An Wang followed the three of them into the inner courtyard as well; Yan Xiner called out "Father King" and walked at the very end.

It was getting late, so An Wang had the servants serve the evening meal. The five of them came to the dining hall and sat down. At this moment, the second son Yan Si and the third daughter Yan Shuang'er entered the dining hall one after another. The two walked in, respectfully called out "Father King, Mother Consort," and took their own seats.

No sooner had Yan Si sat down than he asked Yan Qianqian with a grin, "Heard little sister went out to fight today." At this, Yan Qianqian, sitting to the side, said, "It wasn't fighting, it was acting bravely for a just cause!" "Oh? How exactly did you act bravely for a just cause?" Yan Si asked, looking at Yan Qianqian. Then Yan Qianqian chattered away, recounting the whole course of today's events. After she finished, the Princess Consort said to the children, "Through today's incident, you all must remember: gambling absolutely must not be touched, or you'll end up like Zhang San with your family ruined and lives destroyed." The children nodded repeatedly, and An Wang also smiled with satisfaction. An Wang looked at Yan Qianqian and Yan Wang and said, "Today was fine, just an ordinary commoner, and you still had hidden guards with you. But if next time there are many and you can't win, don't impulsively rush forward. Wang'er, you're the older brother; outside you must take good care of your younger sister."

Yan Qianqian, chewing on sweet-and-sour spare ribs, blinked her big eyes and said, "Got it, Daddy." Yan Wang also hurriedly replied, "Father King, your son remembers." An Wang then stopped speaking and continued eating. At this point the second son Yan Si asked An Wang, "Father King, little sister has already reached the age to start school. When will you send her to the Shangshufang?" I thought for a moment and replied, "Wait until after your Mother Consort's birthday, then another five or six days — that's the day the Shangshufang uniformly admits new students." Qianqian opened her big eyes and asked curiously, "Second Brother, what is the Shangshufang?" Yan Si smiled and said, "It's a place with lots of little friends where you can play together." Qianqian thought for a bit: "Qianqian doesn't want to go. Qianqian wants to stay home and play with Si Ge." "But your Si Ge has to go to school too; he's only on break these two days. He has to go back to school tomorrow, and then you'll be the only one left." Yan Si said, looking at Yan Qianqian. Yan Qianqian said, "I can play by myself at home, or go out and find someone else to play with." Several people exchanged a glance, all harboring the same thought: they must use these few days to get Yan Qianqian interested in the Shangshufang, then send her to school. And so, amid laughter and cheer, the family finished dinner and each returned to their own courtyard to prepare for sleep.

And Yan Qianqian, her little belly round and full, hopped along behind San Jie Yan Shuang'er back to the room. "San Jie, I want to hear a story." Yan Qianqian followed behind Yan Shuang'er like a little tail. At this, Yan Shuang'er took out the travelogue of various countries she had been reading today and began narrating it to Yan Qianqian in vivid detail. Yan Qianqian listened, utterly entranced, not blinking an eye.

After a while, the Princess Consort's maid Chunxi came to fetch Yan Qianqian, calling her back to sleep (after all, the child was still young, only three years old, and had to sleep with her Mother). Yan Qianqian obediently followed Chunxi back to the Princess Consort's courtyard. After Chunxi helped her wash up, she hugged her little quilt, like a little caterpillar, "slurp" burrowed into the bedding, and lay in the middle of the bed. On the left was the Princess Consort, on the right the Prince. The Princess Consort gently patted Qianqian, humming a lullaby. Before long, soft, steady "huh-ha huh-ha" breathing sounds came — little Qianqian had already entered sweet dreamland. The Prince and Princess Consort also exchanged a smile and closed their eyes.

Sleeping until midnight, Qianqian dreamed in a daze that she had come to a place of ice and snow, so cold she shivered uncontrollably. She ran desperately forward, run and run, when suddenly she saw a furry, white, chubby big bear. She was overjoyed, threw herself onto it at once, hugged the bear's arm tight — wow, so warm and cozy! Seeing her, the big bear also gently hugged her back, then carried her toward its cave.

Reaching the cave, the big bear gently set her down on a small straw pile made of dry grass, then went out to forage. Now she wasn't cold, but she suddenly felt a bit of an urge to use the toilet. She looked left and right, discovering there was no toilet in the cave. Qianqian was anxious as a little monkey, spinning around on the ground. She even ran to the cave entrance to look out several times, but the big bear still hadn't returned. Thinking she was the only one in the cave, she found a corner, quickly took off her pants, and started peeing. After Qianqian relieved herself, she began wandering around the cave. For some reason, she kept feeling damp, so she walked out of the cave. Just a short while after leaving the cave, she spotted a wonderful place with spring warmth, flowers blooming, and the ground covered in fresh flowers. Qianqian excitedly threw herself over, hugged the flowers tight — wow, so fragrant! Fragrant and warm. Yan Qianqian, in the midst of a beautiful dream, slept on comfortably.

Meanwhile, An Wang was dreaming he was being chased and killed. With nowhere to escape, he suddenly spotted a river ahead. He leapt, jumping into the river. He felt his whole body submerged in water. Several assassins flew past overhead, completely failing to notice him. Finally there was no more movement; An Wang prepared to climb ashore, but discovered he couldn't get up no matter what. Just as he felt he was about to suffocate, he startled awake. Then he felt his hand was wet underneath. He lifted the quilt and felt... a large wet patch under his body. Looking again, the child who should have been sleeping in the middle under her own little quilt had already run into her Mother Consort's bedding. An Wang lifted the Princess Consort's bedding, felt Yan Qianqian's little pants, and found they were also soaking wet. He instantly exploded, shouting, "Yan Qianqian!!!"
