After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Yan Qingwan said in surprise: "Third brother."

Yan Qingchen raised his head, and when he saw the Crown Prince beside Yan Qingwan, he quickly bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then, he raised his head and looked at Yan Qingwan, with a hint of worry in his voice, "It's so late, Ah Wan, you haven't come home yet, mother is already worried."

Yan Qingwan uttered a soft "oh" and said, "I have asked someone to notify my mother, and I plan to go back now."

Yan Qingchen's expression froze, and he pursed his lips and said, "In that case, come back with me now."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan first raised his head and glanced at Si Jinchen's expression.

Seeing him lower his eyes slightly and look at her, Yan Qingwan blushed and said in a tender voice: "Your Highness, I will go back with my third brother first. We will make an appointment next time when we have time."

Si Jinchen looked at Yan Qingchen calmly, then nodded to Yan Qingwan, "Be careful on the road."

Yan Qingwan then looked at Yan Qingchen, pouted, and said in a muffled voice: "Third brother, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she got on the carriage with the help of the maid beside her.

Yan Qingchen and Si Jinchen looked at each other, Yan Qingchen smiled and nodded, "Thank you for taking care of my sister today, Your Highness, we will go back now."

After saying that, he lifted his clothes and got into the carriage that Yan Qingwan was riding in with ease and grace.

Watching the carriage gradually disappear from his sight.

Si Jinchen's eyes gradually became darker and deeper, like a pool of water.

He clenched his fists tightly and secretly decided that after returning, he must immediately inform the Imperial Observatory to set the wedding date earlier.

He couldn't wait to marry A Wan.

At this moment, a guard came running over and knelt down to report: "Your Highness, someone from the palace came and said that the emperor has something important to tell you."

Si Jinchen frowned slightly, took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the palace with steady and powerful steps.

···

Inside the carriage.

Yan Qingwan and Yan Qingchen sat facing each other.

Yan Qingwan snorted and turned away from him.

Yan Qingchen was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "The wedding date of Miss Zeng and that Prince Wang has been set."

Yan Qingwan was stunned when he heard this, then immediately turned his gaze to him and asked curiously, "How long will it take?"

Yan Qingchen said calmly: "I thought you didn't want to know."

Yan Qingwan: “…”

She pursed her lips, organized her words, and then coughed, "Third brother, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. Just tell me."

Yan Qingchen said calmly: "Where did you go wrong just now?"

When Yan Qingwan heard this, she immediately glared at him unhappily and snorted, "Third brother, I have already apologized to you. If you don't tell me, I will complain to mother when I return home and say that you bullied me."

Yan Qingchen looked at her and chuckled, "That's all you know."

Yan Qingwan raised his chin: "Who made this trick work?"

Yan Qingchen: "The date is set for the eighth of next month."

Yan Qingwan exclaimed in surprise, "Number 8, isn't that only ten days away? This is too sudden."

Yan Qingchen nodded, "You are right."

Yan Qingwan: "Time is so tight? Will we have enough time to prepare the dowry and other things? It feels like time is so tight."

Yan Qingchen shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know about these things..."

Yan Qingwan hummed, and then asked curiously: "What was Zeng Yulan's reaction? Did she agree so willingly? And Madam Zeng, did she just watch her own daughter marry a tofu seller?"

"Of course I disagree. There are rumors that Miss Zeng is on a hunger strike at home and it's getting pretty serious. As for Madam Zeng..."

When Yan Qingchen said this, his eyes darkened.

The reason why he rushed out to pick up A Wan when he got home and found out that she was still outside was because he got the news that Madam Zeng had bribed some thugs in the market and was trying to attack A Wan.

Humph, don’t you see who you are? If it was your own fault that day, I think things would have been bad.

"A hunger strike again? Didn't you do it once before?" Yan Qingwan curled his lips and said, "Why did you suddenly pause when you were talking about Madam Zeng just now? What happened to her?"

Yan Qingchen shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Yan Qingwan looked at the expression on Yan Qingchen's face and didn't think much about it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Third brother, are you going to the royal hunting event soon?"

Yan Qingchen frowned slightly when he heard this. He looked at Yan Qingwan in confusion and said in a deep voice, "Did His Highness tell you?"

"Yeah, he even asked me if I wanted to go, and I said yes."

Yan Qingchen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said, "Then you can go together, it's okay."

Yan Qingwan: "What's wrong? Is it dangerous there?"

Yan Qingchen looked at her seriously and said, "It's not dangerous at all. Just bring a few more people with you when the time comes."

Anyway, most of the female family members don’t go into the mountains. There are many Jinyiwei outside, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Yan Qingwan listened to his words and nodded, "Of course, I'm not stupid."

Yan Qingchen smiled helplessly, "It's up to you."

Yan Qingwan hummed, and his mood became cheerful.

The two chatted for a while, and then the carriage slowly stopped.

Yan Qingchen pushed open the car curtain and saw that they had arrived at his doorstep, so he got out of the car first and then reached out to help Yan Qingwan.

The two returned to the mansion.

Madam Yan Er had been waiting in the front yard for a long time.

Seeing Yan Qingwan, she hurried forward and said, "You're finally back. If you hadn't come home yet, I would have gone out to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan smiled shyly and said softly, "Mother, I happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and I couldn't help but talk to him a few more words."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yan frowned slightly and said with a hint of reproach, "Of course I knew that, but I never expected you to come back so late. Where is the Crown Prince now? Has he returned to the palace?"

Hearing this, Yan Qingwan glanced at Yan Qingchen who had been silent beside him, and replied softly: "After my third brother picked me up, we said goodbye to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and boarded the carriage to return home."

Madam Yan nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then she said with concern: "You have been out for a long time, and you must be exhausted. Why don't you rest early? There are still many things to do tomorrow."

Yan Qingwan responded obediently, then said goodbye to Madam Yan Er and Yan Qingchen and went straight back to Haitang Courtyard where she lived.

To her surprise.

The next morning, two maids from the palace came to the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, claiming that they were entrusted by the prince to take care of Yan Qingwan's daily life.

With the assistance of these two maids, Yan Qingwan was able to handle various household affairs with ease.

So, a few more days passed.

That morning, Zhao Shuhan came to Haitang Courtyard with a gossipy look on his face, and said excitedly: "Ah Wan, guess what good news I heard when I woke up today."
