Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Song Nian spoke a long sentence in one breath. After speaking, he carefully glanced at Cheng Yan and saw that although Cheng Yan had a dark face, he was still rational and had not lost his temper and rushed in recklessly. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid at the door quickly agreed and then pushed open the door to announce the arrival of the guest into the private room.

A short while later, Cheng Yan heard a familiar sound of footsteps.

When he looked up, he saw that Qin Yizhen had already walked to the door.

She wore a crimson begonia dress and was incomparably beautiful; the moment she appeared, he felt the world brighten up.

When she saw him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes showed a mixture of surprise and joy. She asked happily, "Why are you here?"

Seeing how happy she was, Cheng Yan's anger dissipated considerably, but he was still very jealous. So he stepped forward and took her hand.

"I'll take you home."

"We go home."

Yes, go home.

They are husband and wife. Regardless of whether the means he used to marry her were dishonorable, he has already brought her home as his wife.

Xie Zhan...don't even think about competing with him.

Qin Yizhen's heart skipped a beat at his words, "Let's go home." She paused, her movement of trying to break free from his grasp, and then looked up into his eyes.

Her clear figure was reflected in those deep, dark eyes.

She opened her mouth, about to say something, when she heard laughter coming from inside the door.

"Lord Cheng, why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that we'll kidnap the princess?"

Cheng Yan looked up and saw several elegantly dressed ladies walking out of the private room. Although they didn't look very familiar to him, he vaguely remembered that they were the female relatives of some noble and high-ranking officials in the court.

But Xie Zhan was not among them.

Cheng Yan's eyes darkened as he looked toward the private room next to the Peony Pavilion.

He narrowed his eyes.

I almost got tricked.

If he were to barge in so rudely, Qin Yizhen would probably get angry with him, and their relationship, which had just begun to improve, would fall back into disarray.

If he doesn't admit that he was rude and embarrassed her, he'll have to admit that he was tricked by Xie Zhan and acted impulsively because he was worried that she and Xie Zhan were involved...

"I'm anxious," Cheng Yan said, loosening his grip on Qin Yizhen's hand and taking her slender hand in his own. He then addressed the ladies.

“The princess usually doesn’t like to go out and rarely interacts with others. It’s rare for her to come out today, and I’ve been worried about her, so I’m a little anxious.”

"Please forgive me if I have been impolite."

He spoke earnestly and with an excellent attitude, which made the others laugh.

"Look at what Marquis Cheng is saying. Where has Marquis Cheng been impolite? To love your wife so much, Marquis Cheng is truly the first person in this Qin capital."

"That's right, my poor husband. I had a fight with him and went back to my parents' house for a few days. He didn't even see me. When I got back, he asked me why I suddenly went back to my parents' house for a few days. It made me so angry."

"Now that the Marquis has come to fetch the princess, the princess should hurry home with the Marquis. The Marquis has been away for three months, and you two have not seen each other for a long time."

"Yes."

"Thank you all." Cheng Yan agreed before Qin Yizhen could speak, and after having the maid pack up Qin Yizhen's things, he pulled her downstairs.

He never let go of her hand.

Qin Yizhen felt embarrassed as he held her like that, as if people were watching them. She struggled a few times, but seeing that he was unwilling to let go, she sighed inwardly and finally gave in.

Oh well, as long as he's happy.

Cheng Yan led Qin Yizhen down from Wanshi Tower and personally helped her into the carriage. When he stood by the carriage and looked up at the third floor, Xie Zhan was already gone.

Cheng Yan sneered inwardly, deciding to make a mental note of this debt and settle it with Xie Zhan when he met him.

Thinking of this, he simply stepped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain, and walked into the carriage.

He doesn't want to ride a horse today, so let's take a carriage together.

Qin Yizhen was slightly surprised to see him follow her into the carriage: "Why aren't you riding a horse?"

Military generals like Cheng Yan usually don't like riding in carriages, finding them cramped and inconvenient, unlike the freedom and ease of riding a horse.

Cheng Yan sat down next to her and took her hand in his.

Her fingers were slender and fair, and when you held them, the skin felt delicate and plump.

It makes you want to pinch it.

Cheng Yan pinched it several times and felt quite satisfied.

He was satisfied with the feel of her, and her not refusing made him even more satisfied.

He replied, "I've been riding horses all day and I'm a bit tired. Since there's a carriage here, I'll take a break. You won't kick me out, will you?"

"Of course not." Qin Yizhen shook her head, feeling that his words made no sense. "If you want to sit, then sit. When did I ever kick you out?"

"You didn't kick me out, you just didn't want to talk to me or pay attention to me."

He had ridden in a carriage with her before, but she would just stay quietly in the corner. He tried to coax her, but she wouldn't listen. He really didn't know what to do.

Qin Yizhen paused, thinking of the past, and lowered her head somewhat guiltily: "That was my fault, I won't do it again."

"really?"

"Really?" Qin Yizhen nodded seriously.

She will correct all the mistakes she made in the past.

In this lifetime, she hopes that the two of them can stay together until old age, live peacefully and happily, and grow old together.

She sat down beside him, and as the carriage moved forward, swaying a bit, she simply rested her head on his arm.

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment when he felt a weight on her arm. The next moment, he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her half into his arms.

He dared not say or ask any more questions, for fear of disturbing the intimacy and peace of the moment.

After a long while, seeing that she still hadn't spoken, he looked down and found that she had fallen asleep in his arms.

The carriage swayed and rocked. She leaned against him with her eyes closed, her expression gentle and serene, like the soft spring sunshine that seemed to fall into the dark depths of his soul.

He reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, then, unable to restrain himself, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"If you're going to be good to me, you have to stay that way. You can't back out halfway through, or I don't know what I might do..."

The carriage continued on its way, but suddenly stopped halfway through the journey.

"Could it be the Marquis and the Princess's carriage?"

A woman's voice came from outside, and Cheng Yan immediately frowned, feeling displeased.

Why are these people so persistent? After Xie Zhan left, Wang Xianrong appeared!

"That's the Marquis and Princess's carriage. Aunt Wang, what are you doing here?"

"It's good that it's the Marquis and Princess's carriage. My carriage broke down, and I was worried about how to get back. Now I'm saved. Would the Marquis and Princess be willing to give me a ride?"
