Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

He paused for a moment, then continued earnestly, "In the future, I hope you will continue to work steadily and diligently as always. Not only must you handle your own duties properly, but you must also manage well the people under you."

Su Muchun nodded respectfully in reply, "Thank you for your teaching, Uncle. This junior will certainly keep it in mind." An Wang nodded slightly, showing satisfaction, then picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

Seeing that An Wang had just about finished his instructions, An Wangfei at the side interjected with a smile, "Alright, alright, we didn't come over today just for this one matter. Your uncle and I have discussed it, and after Qianqian undergoes her coming-of-age ceremony next year, we'll pick an auspicious day for the two of you to be married.

As for the bridal chamber, we've also discussed it and plan to purchase a residence nearby as a wedding gift for you two. Additionally, we also hope that after marriage you'll often come back to stay for a while. After all, Qianqian's courtyard will always be kept; whenever you want to come back, you can return to live there at any time."

An Wangfei's words undoubtedly indicated that she had agreed to the marriage of the two. Su Muchun couldn't help but feel a bit surprised — the progress of events was actually this swift!

He slowly turned his head, his gaze landing on An Wang. Simultaneously, the gazes of everyone around also converged on An Wang without prior consultation.

Facing everyone's gaze as fiery as flames, An Wang appeared quite composed, but still frowned slightly.

Finally, An Wang broke the silence and said softly, "Mm, Wangfei's meaning is This King's meaning."

As soon as the words fell, Su Muchun felt as if a dazzling firework had suddenly bloomed in his mind, deafeningly loud.

Before this, Su Muchun had imagined countless times that marrying Qianqian might encounter many difficulties and obstacles.

However, when he truly reached this step and looked back, he surprisingly realized that Qianqian's family members didn't seem to have given him too much trouble. This unexpected turn made a deep sense of emotion well up in his heart unbidden.

He secretly thought, if it weren't for truly doting on their daughter Qianqian, how could they treat him so well?

As the saying goes, love me, love my dog; they not only cared about Qianqian's happiness, but also thoughtfully planned for his future, arranged affairs, and fully took his feelings into account. Every time he thought of this, Su Muchun felt increasingly overwhelmed with emotion.

At this very moment, he couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Qianqian. He saw her sitting quietly to the side, like a blooming flower, exuding a captivating fragrance.

And in those eyes gentle as water, there was revealed a deep affection that intoxicated one and made one unable to extricate oneself.

He saw the corners of Qianqian's mouth curve up slightly, revealing a smile like spring flowers blooming. That smile was like a spring breeze brushing the face, warming Su Muchun's heart. At this moment, Su Muchun felt his whole being seemed about to be melted by this captivating smile.

The two's gazes met, as if the whole world only had them left for each other; everything around became blurry and indistinct.

Just then, a faint coughing sound suddenly came, breaking this beautiful atmosphere. It turned out to be An Wangfei softly reminding, "The hour is about up; let's move to the dining hall."

Hearing this, Qianqian and Su Muchun woke as if from a dream, simultaneously moving their gazes away from each other.

However, at this moment Qianqian's cheeks were tinged with a faint red blush, like a ripe apple, making one unable to resist wanting to take a bite; while Su Muchun couldn't help but feel a trace of panic and confusion, as if he had a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, An Wang stood up first and strode toward the door. An Wangfei followed closely behind, and the rest of the people also rose one after another, filing out.

Yan Si glanced back at Su Muchun, then quickly walked to his side, reached out and put an arm around Su Muchun's shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Brother-in-law, let's walk together!"

Before the words finished, he lightly punched Su Muchun's chest and exclaimed in admiration, "Hey, quite solid indeed!"

Su Muchun rolled his eyes at him and replied with a smile, "Sure, Second Brother, then let's go together. By the way, how about a couple of drinks later?"

Yan Si stared at him with wide eyes and asked in surprise, "Don't you have duty tomorrow? You actually dare to drink?"

Su Muchun waved his hand unconcernedly and said with a smile, "No problem, absolutely won't delay things! Come come come, Fourth Brother, you come with us too!"

Saying this, he turned his head and called to Yan Wang beside him. Yan Wang knew clearly in his heart that this matter was already a done deal, that Su Muchun was destined to be his brother-in-law, so he agreed readily, "Good!"

Just like that, the three of them followed the large group and proceeded slowly. Not long after, the group arrived at the dining hall.

After entering the dining hall, Yan Si and Yan Wang simultaneously left the seat between them empty, leaving it for Su Muchun.

Facing such a thoughtful gesture, Su Muchun didn't put on false airs, but sat down naturally and at ease.

An Wangfei at the side, watching her son and son-in-law getting along harmoniously and joyfully, was in an exceptionally pleasant mood.

After everyone had taken their seats, the servants began to serve dishes in an orderly manner.

Su Muchun was in quite high spirits today; he accepted all the fine wine Yan Si and Yan Wang offered in toast, drinking each one down.

After all, after a period of recuperation, his body had already recovered; moderate drinking posed no issue. Not only that, even the ever steady and self-possessed An Wang joined in at this moment, drinking heartily together.

After several rounds of cups, Su Muchun gradually felt a bit tipsy, but his mind was still fairly clear.

He realized his alcohol tolerance was limited; if he continued to drink greedily he might lose composure, so he actively put down his cup and declined politely, "My apologies everyone, I really can't drink any more. Tomorrow I still have to enter the palace to serve on duty, I dare not be greedy for more drink."

Hearing this, the others no longer pressed, all stopping their urging to drink.

At this time, An Wangfei, with a face full of concern, asked gently, "Xiao Su, have you eaten your fill? If it's not enough, just give the order."

Su Muchun, with a smile on his face, expressed thanks to Uncle and Aunt, "Thank you, Aunt and Uncle, for your generous hospitality. I've already eaten my fill." His tone was sincere and modest, making one unable to help but feel favorable toward him.

At this time, An Wangfei interjected, "Mm, as long as you're full, that's good. As for the marriage between you two, it's now basically settled. Tomorrow I'll have your uncle go request an imperial edict from the Emperor, but this edict will not be publicly announced for the time being.

After all, if this matter is spread too early, people will inevitably feel that you became Commander of the Imperial Guards by relying on connections. That way, it might be unfavorable to your reputation!"

Then, she looked at Su Muchun gently again and said, "But you don't need to worry either. After Qianqian comes of age, I'll have your uncle release the edict. At that time, you can come to An Wang Fu as a guest anytime, completely without worrying about problems like affecting your reputation. Not only that, at that time your matter as a couple will certainly receive everyone's recognition and blessings!"

After hearing An Wangfei's such thoughtful and meticulous words, Su Muchun was secretly overjoyed in his heart — he was very satisfied with An Wangfei's such thorough and careful arrangements.
