Chapter 96: Your Highness is So Kind to Me
Madam Yan Er glanced at Gu Shiruan, smiled and said to Yan Qingwan: "Shiruan and your third brother have a good relationship, you, please don't tease her."
Hearing this, Yan Qingwan pouted and complained in a delicate voice: "Mother, you have forgotten your daughter now that you have a son-in-law."
The adults in the room were amused by Yan Qingwan's words.
Madam Yan shook her head and laughed, saying with a smile, "You, you, isn't the Crown Prince treating you well enough now? You're actually jealous of your sister-in-law here."
Yan Qingwan pursed her lips and replied coquettishly: "My daughter is married now. Now my third sister-in-law lives with my mother day and night, so naturally her feelings are better than those with her daughter."
When Madam Yan Er heard this, she glared at Yan Qingwan unhappily, then smiled and pulled Gu Shiruan's arm, saying gently, "That's impossible. You are all my children, and I love you all the same."
Gu Shiruan looked embarrassed.
After they joked with each other for a few more sentences.
Yan Qingwan turned to look at Yan Qingge, and asked with a smile on his face, "Has Sixth Sister's marriage been arranged?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Yan II glanced at Yan Qingge beside her, a complex expression flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded to Yan Qingwan and replied softly, "Yes, after the New Year, it should be put on the agenda."
At this time, the Marquis's wife also interrupted and said, "Not only your sixth sister, but also your fifth sister's marriage should be put on the agenda."
Yan Qingwan smiled and nodded, then continued, "There are many young masters from the major families in the capital now, so my aunt and mother must carefully choose the right ones for my two sisters."
Madam Hou nodded slightly and replied, "Of course."
Madam Yan also nodded in agreement.
When Yan Qingge and Yan Qingzi heard their fifth sister talking about their marriage with the elders, they suddenly felt shy, their cheeks flushed, and their eyes flickered in panic.
Yan Qingge lowered her head and bit her lips lightly, with a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
Fifth sister is so exhausted from her pregnancy, but he still remembers to care about her marriage. I guess he really cares about her.
······
After New Year’s Eve comes the Spring Festival.
Si Jinchen finally had some free time and could spend time with Yan Qingwan every day.
He would either stay with her to watch people on the stands sing opera or listen to storybooks, or play chess or "leaf play" around the fire, and occasionally go out to walk in the snow and appreciate the plum blossoms.
Unfortunately, there are many entertainment activities in the palace, but Yan Qingwan can only watch and cannot participate, such as ice skating.
But for Yan Qingwan, he was already quite satisfied.
Time flies, and the sleeping earth gradually wakes up.
The tender green grass pokes its head out of the soil, and the branches and leaves sprout at the call of spring.
All things are revived and full of vitality.
In the blink of an eye, it is time for ladies and young ladies to go out and enjoy the spring.
Yan Qingwan heard that Second Madam Yan was going to take Yan Qingge to the outskirts of the capital for a trip, actually to introduce Yan Qingge to young men from various mansions.
Now that she was finally pregnant, she could no longer stay in the Eastern Palace.
So, one night, she mustered up the courage to tell Si Jinchen that she also wanted to go out for a spring outing and fly a kite to relax.
Seeing that she looked very frustrated, Si Jinchen thought about it and agreed to her request.
But at the same time, he emphasized that he must accompany them in person.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan excitedly hugged Si Jinchen and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the lips.
Then she threw herself into his arms, her voice soft and tender: "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is so kind to me."
Si Jinchen lowered his eyes and looked meaningfully at the top of the head of the woman in his arms who was unaware of the danger. Finally, he took a deep breath and tried to calm the restlessness in his heart.
Not long after getting married, Wan became pregnant, and he has been holding it in for more than two months now.
Considering that it will take about seven or eight months before the baby is born and the confinement period is included,
Si Jinchen couldn't help but frown.
It seems that the timing of the second child can be delayed for a long time...
This day of spring outing.
Yan Qingwan was wearing a lotus pink and white vertical collared long gown with a beige shoulder cap and fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending to earth.
Si Jinchen, on the other hand, was simply dressed in a black robe, looking handsome, elegant and dignified.
The two got on the carriage early in the morning and drove out of the city.
Along the way, Yan Qingwan sat in the carriage, frowning as he thought about how to find a suitable partner for Yan Qingge, feeling very troubled.
However, when her eyes accidentally swept across the corner of Si Jinchen's clothes beside her, her heart suddenly lit up.
Yup!
She can ask the prince for help!
After all, the prince must know more about the young talents of each family than she does.
Thinking of this, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but smile.
So, she gently raised her little finger, tilted her head, and called out in a tender voice: "Your Highness~"
When Si Jinchen heard the call, his gaze paused slightly and he couldn't help but glance at her. He immediately realized that she must be asking him for help again.
Si Jinchen's eyes fell back on the document in his hand, and he said in a calm voice, "What's the matter?"
Yan Qingwan didn't mind, smiling and moving his butt a few times to sit next to him, looking up at his face slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, I wonder if you know any unmarried young people from the major families in the capital."
Hearing this, Si Jinchen looked at her in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"
Yan Qingwan said in a tender voice: "I have two younger sisters at home..."
Si Jinchen nodded and said in a deep voice: "I know a little, but I still need to find out more."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Si Jinchen glanced at her and said calmly, "Don't you say that His Highness treats you the best?"
When Yan Qingwan heard this, she immediately said in a flattering manner: "Your Highness is so kind to me."
Si Jinchen's lips curled up unconsciously, he hummed, and continued to read the document in his hand.
Yan Qingwan got the result he wanted and stopped bothering him.
Immediately sat back in his original position.
Until the carriage stopped at the market town.
Yan Qingwan looked at Si Jinchen in the carriage with great interest and said, "Your Highness, would you like to go down with me to choose a kite, or stay in the carriage and wait for me?"
Si Jinchen: "Let's go together."
After saying this, he put down the documents in his hand and got off the carriage in front of Yan Qingwan.
Then he reached out and supported her.
Yan Qingwan happily helped him get off the carriage, and the two of them walked through the market with a group of people.
As he walked along, Yan Qingwan was dazzled by the dazzling array of things.
Seeing someone selling candied haws, Yan Qingwan immediately felt craving for some.
She hurriedly tugged at Si Jinchen's sleeve and said in a tender voice, "Your Highness, the baby in my belly said that he wants to eat candied haws."
Si Jinchen: “…”
He lowered his eyes slightly to look at her belly, then looked at the coquettish expression on her face.
Si Jinchen said in a deep voice: "Buy it, but you can only eat two."
Yan Qingwan's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness. You are the best to me."
After saying that, Zhong Chengyi, who was following behind him, immediately took small steps forward and bought a string of candied haws from the vendor.
