She would bring them all kinds of novelties from the palace, play with them, and share interesting things about the palace. Jiang Siyan and Jiang Nianli liked Princess Shou'an very much. Every time she came, it was like the most distinguished guest in the house, full of laughter and joy.
As they grew older, Jiang Siyan and Jiang Nianli gradually revealed their unique personalities and talents. Jiang Siyan achieved excellent academic results, his essays often praised by his teachers, and he stood out among his peers. He harbored lofty ambitions, hoping to emulate his father, displaying his talents in the court and contributing to the country and its people. Jiang Nianli, on the other hand, possessed profound attainments in poetry and painting. Her paintings circulated among the aristocratic circles of the capital, earning them widespread admiration and love. Gentle and kind, she often helped the servants in the mansion, earning her widespread respect and love.

Some treacherous officials, jealous of Jiang Yan's talent and status, began to plot against the Jiang family. They spread rumors in court, slandering Jiang Yan's reputation and bringing tremendous pressure to the Jiang family.
Jiang Yan was well aware of the sinister intentions of these people.
