Before entering the Yan family, he was actually worried whether he would suddenly be told that the Yan family planned to cancel the marriage and throw him and Nian Jingli out the door.
Every time he comes out, he will be lucky that the engagement has not been broken off this year...
He didn't know what everyone in the world thought, but he felt that as long as the Yan family didn't break off the engagement, he wouldn't have said it first, but if the other party really decided to break off the engagement... he could only respect their decision.
Because the older he gets and the more mature he becomes, the more he feels like he was lying to a child.
It is estimated that Yan's family members think so, which is why they have treated him so coldly for so many years.
His greatest strength is his expressionless face.
The ginkgo-shaped wooden hairpin in his hand was perhaps the most special gift that allowed him to persevere for so many years. Or maybe it was the words "I'll wait for you" when we parted that made him persevere. After all, it was his own.
promise.
That was the first and only time that she recognized her engagement status, which was of great significance to him.
In the years since then, she has never had any communication with herself, no letters, no gifts, nothing. Does she regret it? Will she regret it because of her ignorance?
The eight-year period is getting closer and closer. No one knows that Prince Xuan has been waiting for her to come back.
Now, he got the news that the Yan family had written to her, asking her to come back before her birthday.
So he started nearly ten days ago and waited for her at Shiliting every day.
Today, he finally waited for this woman's carriage.
The Yan family's carriage was as simple as ever, but inside it was the girl she longed for.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to his status as the son-in-law of the Yan family. If...if that girl doesn't want him anymore...
Otherwise...
Let’s fight hard!
Thinking of this, he tidied his clothes in embarrassment, a very abrupt action, which was because of the unreasonable feeling in his heart.
He is not obsessed with a six-year-old girl. Every two years, he will chat with the eldest maid who has returned and ask her about her experiences in the past few years. The eldest maids will repeat what they told the family.
He knew that the maids were hiding something, but there was nothing unusual about the Yan family who was listening with them, so he was very satisfied. At least she was not hiding it from him alone.
I don't know why, but Yan Qingzheng, who the prince said was very innocent, acted very smart in front of him.
So he has always felt that Yan Qingzheng is special to him.
Just for this special thing, he was willing to take a gamble.
The carriage stopped by the road, and Cui Bo recognized Butler Liu.
"Miss Qi, my prince invites you to come to the pavilion to have a chat." Butler Liu approached the carriage and said respectfully.
Yan Qingzheng blinked and nodded, and Jing'er quickly stood up and lifted the curtain of the carriage. Yan Qingzheng stood up lightly, paused, and with Jing'er's help, she stepped out of the carriage.
There was only a dozen meters between the official road and the pavilion. Yan Qing was putting on her curtain hat, slightly lifting the corners of her skirt with her slender hands, and walking up the steps step by step.
Prince Xuan had already reached the edge of the pavilion and paused for a moment. He stretched out his hand to lift the gauze curtain and walked down three steps, just in time to meet Yan Qingzheng who was coming up the steps.
Yan Qing was looking up. At this time, she was only one step away from Prince Xuan. She raised her head slightly and said, "You have grown so tall!"
When King Xuan heard this, his heart became hot.
"You too." His mind was in a state of confusion, and he was no longer as sharp-tongued as the emperor usually said about him.
The two of them stood quietly. Housekeeper Liu looked at the silly way his prince looked at his wife and coughed lightly involuntarily.
The two people came to their senses instantly, and Yan Qingzheng smiled slightly: "What is hidden in the pavilion that I am not allowed to see?"
"No, please come in." Prince Xuan wished he could slap himself.
He quickly turned aside to invite Yan Qingzheng to come in, and couldn't help but reach out to help her.
Yan Qingzheng was slightly startled. Prince Xuan realized that he was too abrupt and was about to withdraw his hand when he saw Yan Qingzheng stretching out his hand and gently placing it on Prince Xuan Ping's outstretched hand.
Prince Xuan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, but he tried his best to stay calm. He turned slightly and saw that Yan Qing was walking up two steps following his strength. Naturally, the two of them retracted their hands in perfect harmony.
Compared with the two people, the pavilion is larger. The white gauze around it is gently fluttering in the wind, vaguely revealing the surrounding scenery.
There are several plates of snacks, a pot of tea, and two cups on the stone table.
"Did you come here specifically to greet me?" Yan Qing asked.
Prince Xuan was stunned. This girl spoke so directly.
"Yes." He was not one to beat around the bush.
Yan Qingzheng smiled and said, "Thank you."
Prince Xuan didn't say anything. He filled the tea cup in front of Yan Qing with tea, and the fragrance suddenly overflowed.
Yan Qingzheng was very surprised. This tea was as good as Tianyimen's special offer.
"I grew it myself and spent several years cultivating it. I succeeded last year and only got enough for a pot of tea."
"I didn't expect His Highness Prince Xuan to be so elegant."
Yan Qing picked it up, looked at it, shook it, smelled it, and then took a sip.
“Good tea.”
Prince Xuan was happy and said: "Although my skills are a bit poor, this tea has never been made by others."
Only then did Yan Qingzheng realize that he was so attentive. He was silent, lowered his head and said with a smile, "I mean, this tea fryer's skills... really ruined the tea leaves."
Prince Xuan was startled and could not hide his embarrassment.
Yan Qingzheng suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I spoke too bluntly."
"No," Prince Xuan calmed down and said seriously: "You are telling the truth, and there is no need for you to have any concerns when talking to me."
Yan Qing was smiling: "It's great that you haven't changed much."
Prince Xuan actually lost his mind because of this smile.
Yan Qing picked out a piece of snacks and took a bite, and said, "You are the first person to help me. Thank you." After a pause, he added, "My family is still waiting. I can't stay long, so I'll take my leave."
Prince Xuan stood up and said, "You've wasted Miss Seventh's time."
"No, I'm very happy." She also stood up, glanced at Prince Xuan's hair, and smiled slightly.
Prince Xuan felt that he had regained his breathing rhythm after Yan Qing had gone far away and got on the carriage and could no longer see her figure.
"She...has become a grown-up girl!"
The moment the fourteen-year-old Yan Qingzheng raised her hat and smiled, even Prince Yixuan couldn't help but lose his mind. He didn't know what kind of impact such a woman would bring to this capital.
Prince Xuan was very much looking forward to it for a moment.
Just as Yan Qing returned to Yan's house, people burst into tears inside.
Yan Qing was greeting her family members one by one and giving them gifts. Suddenly she remembered that she had prepared gifts for Prince Xuan, but they were placed at the bottom of the box. It was not suitable for rummaging through the boxes in Shiliting.
Give it to him later, Yan Qing was thinking.
Butler Liu was sitting in the carriage, secretly looking at his prince.
He had been waiting outside the pavilion, and there was nothing secretive about what was going on inside. After all, there was only a gauze curtain between them, so he could hear the conversation clearly.
My prince is so boring, the other girls even took the initiative to say a few words, my prince... ugh!
Butler Liu hates that iron cannot be made into steel. His prince has a face that confuses all living beings, but he is so dull when it comes to getting along with women. It's really... it's all in vain!
Butler Liu couldn't help but shook his head, and Prince Xuan suddenly said coldly: "If you shake your head again, I'll take it off for you, so that you won't think it's inappropriate..."
Butler Liu quickly shrank his neck.
After a while, he bravely commented: "Your Majesty, your performance today...is not enthusiastic enough!"
Prince Xuan closed his eyes to rest his mind and said nothing.
Butler Liu did not dare to speak anymore.
Not enthusiastic enough?
Coming here every day from morning until late at night, isn't that enough enthusiasm?
He feels that his performance has been obvious enough, bold enough, and enthusiastic enough! Isn't this enough? So what does it mean to be enthusiastic? How can you express your feelings?
He felt that he needed to study it carefully, otherwise when Yan Qing was rejecting him, he would be able to stalk her as planned. Otherwise, if he didn't even understand passion, would he be able to stalk her?
"Miss Seventh, what do you think Prince Xuan means?" Luo'er originally wanted to ask her how she felt about Prince Xuan, but her instinct was better not to ask, lest she inadvertently offend Miss Seven.
Following the Seventh Miss into Tianyimen, they also got a lot of benefits, such as practicing kung fu. Although they did not have the talent of the Seventh Miss, they had already reached the peak of acquired skills. Moreover, Tianyimen had some elixirs for conditioning the body, although they did not always have it.
I stayed in Tianyimen, but I also took some intermittently, so although I am already twenty-one or twelve years old, I still look very fresh and young.
Yan Qingzheng asked them about their wishes, but none of them planned to get married, at least not in the next few years.
After all, after seeing so many young talents from the Tianyi Sect, how could such an otherworldly existence be willing to be pointed out to a mere mortal?
Yan Qingzheng also promised that he would never force them to get married.
"Whatever the intentions, we all have time to tell."
After saying that, Yan Qingzheng stopped talking.
To be honest, after returning to the capital of the Feng Rong Empire and facing these close relatives again, she felt that she had never been so tired from practicing.
To be honest, my family members cried so much that the tears fell down as if they were free of money.
Especially the fourth aunt and sixth sister of the fourth room...
Nalan Lianyue was shocked to find that she could not see through her daughter's level of cultivation.
Although she had kept in touch with her master in the past few years, she did not know that she had not received any truly accurate information since Yan Songzheng left. The news about Yan Qingzheng's cultivation had remained the same since then.
The realm is only more consolidated.
She had no idea that Yan Qing was causing a stir in Tianyimen.
When Li Qingzheng came back, in order not to be disturbed, he had already used his own power to cut off all connections between Tianyimen and Nalan Lianyue.
She didn't want her mother to be in the same dilemma as her. She could put off the choice, but she didn't want her mother to face that choice.
If you continue to cultivate immortality, you must cut off all ties with the world and focus on cultivating. From now on, if we say goodbye, we may never see each other again.
