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

Chapter 143 Plum Appreciation Banquet

As soon as she finished speaking, the ladies around her responded one after another, "Yes, the Crown Princess attends many banquets, and the little grandson has been hiding very well. If there is a chance, we would also like to meet the little grandson."

"Yes!" "I want to see him, too. I wonder if this little grandson looks like the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess."

Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Lin Xiyan took the opportunity to say, "In that case, why don't the Crown Princess hold a banquet another day so that we can go and meet the little grandson?"

Everyone echoed and looked at Yan Qingwan expectantly.

Yan Qingwan smiled, his brows slightly furrowed, thinking that these people were really omnipresent and would not miss any opportunity to get close to him.

I just don’t know what Ms. Lin was thinking when she made this request.

However, she nodded, smiled and agreed to their request.

Since we have nothing to do now, it's okay to hold a party.

"Okay, I will arrange it on a chosen day."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this.

"Then we will wait for the invitation from the Crown Princess."

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Yan Qingwan nodded, and then chatted with everyone about other topics for a while.

I stayed until the afternoon and then got up to say goodbye.

Yan Qingwan followed the crowd and walked out slowly. After all, their status was different. Now her family’s carriage was parked at the door.

This was something I would never have dared to imagine before. These people are really good at judging people by their appearance.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and after saying hello to Mrs. Lin and the other ladies, Yan Qingwan got on the carriage.

As soon as I lifted the car curtain, I could vaguely see the corner of a black robe.

Yan Qingwan paused for a moment, then went in and sat down opposite Si Jinchen. She looked at Si Jinchen and asked in a tender voice, "Your Highness, are you done with your work?"

Si Jinchen nodded slightly and said softly, "When I got back to the mansion, I learned that you were coming to the banquet. Seeing that it was getting late, I came to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan curled his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."

The two men sat opposite each other, and the carriage was filled with a faint scent of ambergris.

Si Jinchen looked at Yan Qingwan, his eyes revealing tenderness and care.

He gently asked, "Did anything interesting happen at the banquet today?"

Yan Qingwan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Actually, there is nothing special, I just chatted with the ladies for a while.

It was the daughter of Mrs. Lin who seemed to be very interested in our Qi'an. She suggested that I hold a banquet at my house and invite them to come and meet Qi'an."

Si Jinchen frowned slightly and asked, "Well, do you agree?"

Yan Qingwan nodded and responded softly, "This is not a big deal, so I agree to it. However, does Your Highness have any other ideas? If you think it is inappropriate, I can send someone to notify everyone to cancel this arrangement."

Si Jinchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "There's no need to cancel, you can handle it yourself. Now everywhere is covered with snow, and Qi'an is still young, so he will probably have to stay here until after the New Year before he can return."

Yan Qingwan nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

Si Jinchen continued, "But the Su family and Prefect Wang's family in the cell cannot be kept like this forever. I'm afraid something might happen in the middle of the time, so I might be away for ten days or so. I can only come back after the people sent by the capital come to pick them up."

When Yan Qingwan heard the news, she couldn't help but feel reluctant, but she still tried to remain calm and composed.

She smiled and said, "This is indeed an important matter. Your Highness, when will you leave? I will have someone prepare food and clothes for the journey."

Si Jinchen looked at her deeply, then replied softly, "Tomorrow morning."

Yan Qingwan nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in his eyes.

But she quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile: "Okay."

After saying this, the carriage instantly became quiet. The two sat opposite each other, and for a moment they were speechless.

They looked at each other silently, with an indescribable emotion in their eyes.

Because there was someone to chat with on the way back home, Yan Qingwan felt that he arrived at the mansion in no time.

After the two got off the carriage, they went directly to the backyard.

The next day.

Before dawn, Si Jinchen had quietly gotten out of bed and left without disturbing anyone.

However, Yan Qingwan was too tired at night and was still immersed in a deep sleep, and was unaware of it.

Time flies, and it is already the fifth day.

On this day, Yan Qingwan held a banquet at his house and invited everyone to come and appreciate the plum blossoms.

Everyone responded to the invitation, and Lin Xiyan also walked into the mansion with her mother.

Along the way, Lin Xiyan kept looking left and right, as if looking for something.

Mrs. Lin noticed her actions and became puzzled. She leaned towards her and asked softly, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Xiyan retracted her gaze, a flash of panic and guilt flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure, lowered her head and said softly: "This is my daughter's first time here, and she thinks everything is new, so she couldn't help but look around."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin glared at her and warned her in a low voice, "Behave yourself! Don't run around and cause trouble. This is not our own mansion. You can't do whatever you want."

Lin Xiyan nodded helplessly and responded obediently: "I know, mother."

However, she couldn't help but secretly look at everything around her, her eyes full of curiosity.

Whenever her mother turned her head to look at her, she would quickly look away and put on a serious smile, as if nothing had happened.

The group slowly walked into the plum garden. Along the way, Lin Xiyan did not meet the person she had been thinking about, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

Especially when she saw Yan Qingwan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had outstanding looks, surrounded by everyone, as dazzling as the moon surrounded by stars, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes that was difficult to conceal.

If she could marry Si Jinchen, wouldn't she be the one enjoying this treatment now?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyan became more and more indignant.

Thinking back to the time when the mansion was besieged some time ago, Lin Xiyan secretly regretted that if they could have successfully gotten rid of Yan Qingwan at that time, perhaps the situation today would be completely different.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and Yan Qingwan actually survived safely.
