Wang Yan paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Qin Qing with a serious expression.

"If you don't like this environment, I will submit my resignation to His Majesty after the marriage..."

"puff!!"

At this point, not only Qin Qing, but even An Ziyun standing to the side couldn't hold back anymore, spitting a mouthful of rice directly onto Xiao Muyue's face...

The little girl was eating her meal seriously, since she didn't understand what they were discussing anyway, when suddenly her master spat out his food right in front of her!

Xiao Muyue looked extremely wronged. Her face was covered in rice grains, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked pitiful with her lips tightly clenched. Qin Qing wanted to laugh but also felt sorry for her.

"Wow! Grandma, he sprayed me!"

The little girl turned her head to look at Qin Qing with a wronged expression, and tears instantly streamed down her face. An Ziyun, who was standing next to her, was also quite frightened. She quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and tried to comfort her. Her flustered appearance was truly laughable.

"Alright, Yueyue, go wash your face first. Grandma will teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyue stood up, gave An Ziyun a smug snort, and turned to go to the kitchen…

An Ziyun was extremely embarrassed and cast a reproachful glance at Wang Yan.

"You can't blame me! Who knew the General would joke like that! I just got excited."

As he was about to sit down, he heard Wang Yan solemnly affirm.

"I never joke! If you don't like it, we can leave! I own several acres of fertile land, three houses, and although my savings aren't much, it's more than enough for my family to live on. My mother is healthy and doesn't need anyone to take care of her yet. Besides my mother, I have no other relatives. Huang Zhong is already married, and there's no war on the border of Tianlong Kingdom right now..."

As Wang Yan spoke more and more, An Ziyun's eyes widened, and the horror on his face did not diminish at all!

"You...you really are Wang Yan? Or is someone impersonating him? Tell me! What's your purpose!"

As he spoke, he stood warily behind Qin Qing, as if he would push Qin Qing away if the other party made a move!

Qin Qing was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, then couldn't help but burst out laughing! Then she pulled An Ziyun back!

"Alright, I didn't say I didn't like it! It's just that I'm not used to it yet. Actually, the capital city isn't bad!"

Wang Yan remained silent, but his expression was still serious. An Ziyun then realized what was happening and stared at the two of them in astonishment, her face full of disbelief!

"You, you two...you two?!"

Qin Qing glanced at him.

"What? It won't work?"

As soon as he finished speaking, An Ziyun received a cold glare from Wang Yan, as if he would lose his tongue if he said anything wrong next...

Faced with two pairs of cold stares, An Ziyun subconsciously shrank his neck, gave a sneer, and quickly sat down.

"Sure! Of course it will work! You two are a perfect match! I'll argue with anyone who says it won't!"

The intimidating gaze then disappeared, leaving An Ziyun looking like she had just escaped a disaster! However, she quickly recovered and looked at Qin Qing gossipingly, whispering something.

"Hehe... um, when did you two start? I didn't see you two doing anything together in the military camp. Who brought it up first? How long have you been doing this? How many people know about it?"

"His gossip was practically written all over his face!" Qin Qing rolled her eyes.

"Can't you tell? It was love at first sight, and then we were completely smitten! You're blaming us for not realizing it yourself?"

Anyway, she was initially attracted by his looks, so there's nothing wrong with what she said!

Hearing this, Wang Yan looked up at Qin Qing, a slight smile playing on his lips. The doting look on his face gave An Ziyun goosebumps!

Then he rubbed his arms with a look of disgust.

"Hey, don't disgust me! I never thought the great general's smile was so sickeningly sweet. You two are really a couple!"

Qin Qing chuckled upon hearing this, reached out and took Wang Yan's arm, then picked up a slice of meat and handed it to him, saying in a choked voice.

"Come, my love, ah!"

That sickeningly sweet tone made Wang Yan want to laugh again, and then he opened his mouth and ate the slice of meat...

An Ziyun: "..." How disgusting!

Soon, the next morning, envoys from various countries arrived in the capital one by one, and the streets were bustling with activity. Qin Qing also packed up early and sent over the crab meat that Manyuelou was going to use for the emperor and empress dowager's birthday celebration.

Then I went straight to the General's Mansion...

Last night, after chatting for a while, Qin Qing decided to go to the palace with Old Madam Wang. This time, it wasn't out of helplessness, but to assert her dominance! Now that she was officially dating Wang Yan, she could no longer ignore those other women.

Therefore, even if she doesn't outshine everyone else today, she must still project an imposing presence!

At this moment, a tall, handsome, yet aloof man rode on horseback, entering the capital city surrounded by a crowd…

According to custom, all foreign envoys must stay at the largest inn in the capital, the Qianqiu Inn!

The man and his companions were no exception. They saw two young men in official robes standing at the entrance of Qianqiu Inn. They were stunned for a moment when they saw the newcomers, and then quickly bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, I, Liu Guangyan, greet you!"

"I, from the city of Xiaguan, greet Your Highness!"

As she said this, she was secretly amazed. She never expected that Prince Kolo, who lived in the legendary Ice Mountain Grassland, would be so handsome!

Kolo nodded slightly upon seeing this, a smile appearing on his face.

"Not at all, sirs! Please take good care of me from now on!"

Liu Guangyan and his companion were taken aback by what they heard. They hadn't expected that Prince Kolo's tone of voice was just like that of the scholars and talents of the Tianlong Kingdom, without any of the strangeness that people from the Ice Plains would have when they spoke.

Just then, a carriage emerged from another alley. Li Bai's carriage was carried by a fair-skinned woman dressed in a dark blue dress, her dark hair fluttering in the wind, exuding a liveliness beyond her years.

Prince Chloe, who was about to go upstairs, happened to see this scene, and that familiar face that filled him with both hatred and anger instantly stirred up his memories...

He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, a flash of murderous intent crossing his face! It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet! He'd barely arrived in the capital when he ran into his mortal foe!!

On the other side, Qin Qing also noticed the murderous intent surging in the instant. She quickly stopped her horse and warily surveyed her surroundings. Because it was the day that envoys from various countries came to the capital to offer their congratulations, the streets were crowded with people. Not far from her, the place with the most people was the Qianqiu Inn, owned by Qian Baiwan.

"Madam, what has happened?"

Inside the carriage, a woman leaned out, looking at her with a puzzled expression. Qin Qing shook her head and smiled.

"It's alright, there are a lot of people ahead, I'll slow down."

She glanced around a few times but didn't see anything familiar, let alone anyone! The chill vanished in an instant! She shook her head, wondering if she'd been too busy lately and was just imagining things.
