Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Then Yun Xiyan was seen running out of the mansion gate, filled with indescribable excitement.

Then he ran up to her and gave her a big bear hug, a very tight and secure hug.

Lingyan also reached out and hugged her back.

Although Yun Xiyan was unfamiliar with this face, she was absolutely certain that she would recognize the look in his eyes and the smile he gave her.

So she hugged her and said with great joy, "You're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

Ling Yan smiled and replied, "I miss you all too."

As the initial surprise of their first meeting subsided, Yun Xiyan slowly released her embrace.

He then took Lingyan's hand and said with a smile as they walked into the mansion, "Come on, let's go inside first."

Chu Xiyao and Shen Qingchen, who were behind them, immediately followed.

After arriving at the main hall of the mansion.

Yun Xiyan pulled Ling Yan to sit down together.

Then, looking at Chu Xiyao and Shen Qingchen, hesitantly asked, "Who are these two?"

Ling Yan replied seriously, "They are my guards, responsible for protecting me on this trip. You can just call them Shen Yi and Shen Er."

The main reason is that Yun Xiyan and the other two had been in close contact with Chu Xiyao many times.

If she said his surname was Chu, then with their intelligence and keen perception, they could easily associate it with Chu Xiyao.

In addition, they all knew about Chu Xiyao's feelings for her.

So we had no choice but to give him the surname Shen as well.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyan didn't press the matter further. Instead, she smiled and teased, "Although your two guards may have ordinary appearances, their figures and demeanor are absolutely top-notch. So you'd better keep a close eye on them, or someone might try to take them from you."

Yun Xiyan naturally knew that the two people had disguised themselves and were not using their real names.

Because their eyes are very, very beautiful.

Such eyes could never appear on two such ordinary faces.

In addition, she felt that the two of them didn't look like guards at all.

Therefore, the two must have other identities.

But since Yanyan had said so, she naturally wouldn't press the matter any further and insist on getting to the bottom of it.

Even in the closest relationships, not everything needs to be known; she still has that sense of boundaries.

Ling Yan smiled and replied, "Really? It's alright. If they can snatch it, that's their skill, and I won't stop them."

Chu Xiyao and Shen Qingchen, sitting below them, both thought to themselves upon hearing Ling Yan's words: It's a pity they can't take it from them.

After hearing this, Yun Xiyan smiled and looked at the two of them again.

He then added, "My mother is currently in the palace discussing matters with the Queen and will likely return around 5 PM."

Lingyan nodded and replied, "It's alright, just don't delay the important business of Prince Li and the Queen."

After hearing this, Yun Xiyan did not say anything more.

But a look of concern flickered in his eyes as he continued, "When did you arrive in Xuan Yue? And where are you staying?"

Lingyan replied with a smile, "I just arrived yesterday at noon and stayed at an inn in the city."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyan frowned slightly, her face full of disapproval, and said, "Why stay in an inn! No inn is as comfortable as the Prince's Mansion. You should move to the Prince's Mansion right now."

Lingyan shook her head and refused, saying, "After all, I am the Crown Princess of another country, and you are important officials of Xuan Yue. Staying in the royal palace may cause speculation and gossip among others, and you may even be framed or misunderstood. So, to avoid suspicion, it would be better to stay in an inn."

After hearing this, Yun Xiyan naturally understood the gravity of the situation and also comprehended her concerns.

So he stopped trying to persuade them and instead asked, "How long can you stay in Xuan Yue?"

Lingyan smiled and said, "We can stay for almost two months. We just need to make sure we go back before the end of the year."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyan was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

She clapped her hands excitedly and said, "That's great! We can stay this long!"

Lingyan was also infected by her happiness.

She smiled and said, "Yes, but our identities need to be kept secret. My name now is Lin Ya."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyan smiled and replied, "I understand, I'll keep it a secret. From now on, I'll call you Ya Ya, okay?"

Lingyan nodded in agreement.

Then Yun Xiyan hesitated and said, "We will naturally keep your identity a secret from others, but if the Queen asks, I..."

Lingyan naturally understood her thoughts and concerns.

After all, she will be meeting and interacting with the three people of the highest status in Xuan Yue besides the Queen.

How could this not attract the Queen's attention?

She'll definitely ask about her identity then, and might even investigate her secretly.

If the Queen were to ask, given their loyalty, the three of them would naturally not want to lie to the Queen.

But she is also a friend of the three of them, so they will definitely be in a dilemma.

Lingyan comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, everything in Xuan Yue is under the Queen's control, let alone the affairs of the capital. I'm afraid the Queen already knew our whereabouts when we arrived in the capital yesterday. And today, after I appeared in front of the Li Prince's mansion and followed you into the mansion, the Queen probably already had the news, but she just doesn't know our identities."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyan naturally understood that the matter was true.

Lingyan continued, "So if the Queen asks, you can tell her my true identity. Anyway, I am only here because of personal matters and it does not involve the affairs of the two countries. I believe the Queen's wisdom and tolerance should be able to understand."

Yun Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what she said.

It's great that neither side will be affected.

Afterwards, the four of them had a hearty lunch together.

Everyone in the Prince's mansion knew that distinguished guests had arrived, so everyone treated the three of them with the utmost respect and effort, showing their greatest sincerity.

As a result, the lunch table was filled with a dazzling array of thirty-six dishes.

Moreover, each dish is as exquisite as a work of art, with vibrant colors and enticing aromas.

It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a feast for the taste buds like never before.

The servants in the mansion treated Lingyan and her two companions with utmost respect and friendliness.

Their warm smiles and attentive service made Lingyan and her companions feel at home.

This attention and enthusiasm deeply moved Lingyan and the other two.

After lunch, the group sat down together again to drink tea and chat.

The laughter and cheerful voices, like the warm sunshine of spring, filled the entire hall.

They talked about the past, discussed the future, and shared their lives and experiences, as if they had endless things to say and feelings to express.

Time passed quietly, and by the time of You Shi (5-7 PM), Yun Wanshuang returned to the mansion on time.

When she saw Lingyan, she excitedly gave her a big hug; the intimacy and joy were beyond words.

Then, dinner began.

The group sat around the dining table, continuing their cheerful conversation.

The delicious food and the warm atmosphere were so captivating that it was hard to tear oneself away.

The group hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

Of course, it was mainly Lingyan, Yun Xiyan, and Yun Wanshuang who were talking.

Chu Xiyao and Shen Qingchen only occasionally responded with a few words.

The three of them continued chatting even after dinner was over.

The hall was filled with the sounds of talking, laughter, cheers, and applause.

The three of them chatted until very late, still feeling like they hadn't had enough.

However, due to the late hour, they had no choice but to let Lingyan and the other two leave.

However, they had already agreed to meet Yun Shao tomorrow.

Lingyan and the other two were very happy after returning to the inn.

Because she felt that every time she chatted with them, it was as if she could never get enough of the conversation.

Because their values, thoughts, and ideas are so similar.

This made Lingyan feel relaxed, happy, and like she had found a kindred spirit.

I imagine that spending the next two months together will be very enjoyable and relaxing for her.
