The envoy delegation traveled slowly and steadily, and after a full month, they returned safely to Dayue.

During this time, Chi Yan's carriage followed the procession closely, moving with the procession and stopping when it stopped.

Having settled my husbands, it's time to go to the palace to report back.

Leng Qingning, accompanied by Jin Yan, paid homage before the palace.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty / Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy a long and prosperous life."

"Hmm, Your Highness Jin, there's no need for such formalities." The Empress's gaze was drawn to him, and she carefully examined Jin Yan from head to toe. Seeing his imposing and spirited appearance, her smile grew even wider.

So handsome and dashing, so satisfying! Such a man is a rare find in this world! No wonder the Emperor Jin repeatedly praised his good nephew in his letters.

The ministers were equally impressed! They were all extremely pleased with Jin Yan, having never seen such a man before!

After the two reported on their itinerary and affairs in the Jin Kingdom, the Empress couldn't wait to announce their wedding date.

"I have already discussed with the Emperor Jin that your wedding date will be set for the sixth day of the sixth month. I am sorry to trouble the young prince to enter the palace as a concubine. I hereby bestow upon you the title of [Yao]. I wish you two a long and happy life together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before taking her leave, Leng Qingning announced to the assembled officials that Wen Yanche was pregnant, and the Lingxiao Palace was instantly filled with joy.

Leng Qingning brought Jin Yan back to the mansion for a short rest. Except for Sang Yu, all the husbands sat in the front hall waiting.

As Jin Yan entered, he immediately noticed a man with a light veil standing out among the group of handsome men. The man was also scrutinizing him intently.

"Young Prince, please take a seat." Leng Qingning smiled and invited Jin Yan to sit down, then walked to the main seat and sat down next to Wen Yanche.

"good."

At this moment, the gatekeeper came to report. He glanced nervously at the person in the seat of honor and hesitated before saying, "Your Highness, two young masters are requesting an audience. One of them, who is wearing a golden mask... looks very much like someone..." (Young Master Chi)

The fact that Chi Yan betrayed him is common knowledge in Langya Prefecture.
