"Master Li, why bother writing it out directly? The princess is so smart that she'll figure it out! Your top priority now is to return home and make proper arrangements for the grain merchants from other places!"

If anything happens to them, I will find trouble with you! To be on the safe side, I will give you some authority. You can mobilize some of the palace soldiers to handle the matter. Don't let me down!"

Wan Qingyan showed a meaningful smile, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, staring closely at Li Guoan's every move!

"Your Highness, I understand. I'll do it right away!"

Li Guoan took a deep breath to relieve her tension. Her scalp was tingling when Wan Qingyan stared at her!

"Let's go back first! See you tomorrow!"

Wan Qingyan quickly sent Li Guoan away to do his job, too lazy to play along with her.

"Your Highness, please have some hot tea!"

As soon as Li Guoan left, A Nian came over with a cup of hot tea.

"Anian, why didn't you bring out the tea just now?"

Wan Qingyan took the teacup and asked jokingly.

"Uh... I don't want to serve tea to Li Guoan! She doesn't deserve my tea! I will only serve it to her if Your Highness asks me to!"

A Nian did not hide his feelings and directly expressed his disgust towards Li Guoan with a frown.

"Anian, you did the right thing! She really doesn't deserve it!"

Wan Qingyan curled the corners of her lips and reached out to touch A Nian's little head. She admired A Nian's hatred of evil!

When A Nian heard Wan Qingyan praising her, she immediately became beaming with joy.

"Your Highness, my martial arts skills have improved. Would you like to see it?"

A Nian was no longer satisfied with just a compliment and was ready to show off his skills to Wan Qingyan!

"Okay, let me see how powerful A Nian is now!"

Wan Qingyan smiled, curved his eyes, nodded in agreement politely, and then stretched out his finger to lightly touch the tip of A Nian's nose!

"Okay, Your Highness, follow me!"

A Nian was encouraged, his eyes sparkled, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he took Wan Qingyan's hand and walked towards the backyard!

Seeing that A Nian was so happy, Wan Qingyan let her hold her with a doting look on his face.

A Nian pulled Wan Qingyan to the martial arts training ground in the backyard, picked up the wooden sword skillfully, and said softly.

"Your Highness, I'm starting now!"

"Okay, let's get started."

Wan Qingyan sat on a stone bench, smiling and applauding.

A Nian grinned, nodded, and began to demonstrate.

She gripped the hilt of the wooden sword with both hands, concentrated her energy into her dantian, adjusted her breathing, and then gently swung the wooden sword in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing to the sky. Then she danced the sword in her hand quickly, and each move seemed agile and graceful, like a dancing butterfly.

Each movement was smooth, without any sense of drag. As her sword dance became faster and faster, the sword drew graceful arcs in the air, which was dazzling.

Wan Qingyan's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Ah Nian to progress so quickly. He was truly a martial arts genius. She hadn't misjudged him! But even a genius needs more training to truly become a talent!

She stood up from the stone bench, then picked up another wooden sword from the weapon rack and attacked A Nian.

A Nian's rhythm was disrupted and he suddenly stepped back to avoid Wan Qingyan's attack.

"Anian, attack me with all your strength. Don't hold back. Let me see how powerful you are!"

Wan Qingyan's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

This time she is going to teach A Nian a lesson.

"Your Highness, please bring your horses over!"

A Nian held the wooden sword tightly in his hands, his heart beat faster, his palms sweated slightly, but his eyes were firm and decisive as he stared at Wan Qingyan's every move.

Wan Qingyan waved the wooden sword in his hand and quickly stabbed it at A Nian's wrist.

A Nian countered the attack, squatted slightly to avoid it, and swung his sword at Wan Qingyan's left leg.

Wan Qingyan smiled slightly, jumped to avoid the attack, and then swung a sword flower in the air, with sword light radiating in all directions.

A Nian couldn't help but look at the sword light. When she reacted, Wan Qingyan's wooden sword was already against her throat. In just two moves, A Nian was defeated.

"Your Highness, I lost!"

A Nian was dejected, his eyes dull and lifeless, just like a dried eggplant.

She thought she would lose, but she didn't expect to lose so quickly. She lost before the sword in her hand had even warmed up.

"Anian, you're still not fast enough. You still have a long way to go in terms of sword movements, and controlling the sword with your Qi. There are always people who are better than you, so don't be arrogant!"

Wan Qingyan warned An Nian seriously, and then demonstrated a set of sword techniques in front of her without reservation.

Wan Qingyan can generate sword energy with a casual wave of her sword. Her swordsmanship is ferocious, each sword strike is as fast as the last, and her movements are as smooth as flowing water!

A Nian was stunned, her pupils trembled, and her heart skipped a beat. She now understood how naive her previous thoughts were. If Wan Qingyan had not deliberately let her win, she would have defeated her with just one sword.

"Your Highness, you are truly amazing! I admit defeat. I will definitely step aside and practice diligently. I hope I can hold my own against Your Highness for a little longer next time!"

A Nian was really impressed. It turned out that he was thinking of showing off his skills in front of Wan Qingyan so that he could find an excuse to act coquettishly and gain permission to go out on business.

I never expected that I would be grinding the mill with my bare bottom - so embarrassing!

"Anian, you're already very impressive at your current level at this age!"

Wan Qingyan looked at A Nian's depressed expression, smiled for a moment, and then quickly praised him.

"Your Highness, you're still making fun of me, hum~~"

A Nian heard Wan Qingyan's snickering, threw away the wooden sword in his hand, snorted, and threw himself into her arms and acted coquettishly!

"Okay, I didn't mean to tease you, my throat just felt itchy."

Wan Qingyan put the wooden sword on the stone table, reached out and pinched A Nian's little ear, and explained.

"Humph, I don't believe it. Your Highness is just making fun of me..."

A Nian buried his head in Wan Qingyan's arms, rocking back and forth, his hands tightly holding her slender waist.

"Anian..."

Wan Qingyan was about to ask A Nian to get up when he was interrupted!

"Your Highness, Zhang the grain merchant has been arrested and is now being taken to the dungeon!"

He Yue bowed respectfully and said that she was going with Wan Qingyu to capture the grain merchant Zhang.

"He Yue, you're back at the right time. Ah Nian's martial arts still need some practice. Come and teach her!"

When Wan Qingyan saw He Yue, it was as if she had seen a savior. She quickly winked at He Yue and waved her hand.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He Yue understood Wan Qingyan's meaning, walked over quickly, and pulled A Nian away.

"Anian, you need to practice for two more hours today. Hurry up and practice!"

He Yue shouted sternly. She had to play the role of a strict teacher in front of Wan Qingyan, even though she was not strict at all in normal times.

"Yes, Master He!"

Seeing that He Yue had spoken, A Nian didn't want to continue to act like a spoiled child, so he obediently picked up the wooden sword and started practicing swordplay.

Seeing this, Wan Qingyan hurried away, and her ears were finally at peace.

"Fifth sister, I have something to tell you..."

She had barely had a minute of peace when Wan Qingyu came looking for her again.
