Mr. Du said, "You are not surprised that you were granted the title of princess."
Yan Shujin nodded and said, "When I first arrived in the capital, my uncle told my grandmother that he would make me a princess. I originally thought that those noble families would make trouble and bring up the rules and such, and that it would probably take my uncle two years to fulfill his promise. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Mr. Du and Mr. Li both realized that Yan Shujin felt it was only natural for her to be granted the title of princess, and that it was perfectly normal for her to have a title that surpassed that of Emperor Mingde's own daughter. For a moment, they didn't know how to comment on it.
Yan Qiyu looked at the two gentlemen and said, "Are you worried that they will make things difficult for my sister in the future?"
Mr. Du and Mr. Li did not speak, but judging from their expressions, Yan Qiyu already knew that he had guessed correctly: "But that's a matter for the future."
Yan Shujin smiled and said, "I know that the two gentlemen mean well, but who knows what the future holds? Who can guarantee that if I always put them first, they won't make things difficult for me later?"
Mr. Du laughed upon hearing this: "We were just worrying unnecessarily."
Mr. Li didn't say anything more, and Mr. Du said, "Alright, you can go back and continue reading."
After Yan Shujin and Yan Qiyu left, Mr. Du noticed that Mr. Li still looked worried and said in a low voice, "Just like Princess Yongfu said, nobody knows what the future holds, so why worry so much?"
Mr. Li shook his head, but didn't know what to say.
Mr. Du looked towards the direction of the imperial city: "Two years ago, could you have imagined that the Yan family would be sitting in the palace now?"
Mr. Li's expression changed drastically.
Mr. Du then asked, "Ten years ago, could you have imagined that the previous dynasty would perish like this?"
No, no one could have imagined that the previous dynasty would perish at the hands of such a pair of brothers.
Mr. Du smiled and said, "What will things be like in two years, ten years, or twenty years? Nobody knows. Why should we worry about things we don't know?"
Mr. Li felt that Mr. Du's words were not quite right, and suddenly realized something. He looked at Mr. Du and asked, "Why don't you become an official?"
Mr. Du smiled at Mr. Li and asked, "Why don't you become an official?"
Mr. Li took a deep breath: "My reasons for not becoming an official are different from yours."
"So what?" Mr. Du said, "The result is the same anyway."
In fact, Yan Shujin also had doubts. She didn't think there was anything wrong with being named Princess Yongfu. In fact, the one who was wrong was her cousin.
Yan Shujin felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She couldn't remember such things at all. Although Liu Qin didn't understand the so-called rules in the capital and wouldn't care about such a large family, she could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. Even though she and Yan Zhili had a deep relationship, there were still six years between them.
Baojie and Guige both chose their own courtyards. Because Guige was still young, he ended up choosing the courtyard closest to the main courtyard. Baojie chose a large one. Baojie's thinking was very honest. In the past, her family was poor and had no choice but to eat, live, and dress poorly. Now that her father was rich and her family was wealthy, of course she had to choose the best. Besides, no matter how big the courtyard was, she wouldn't have to do any work.
Although they now have their own courtyard, Baojie and Guige will stay in the main courtyard for now. They will move there once they have gotten used to the other courtyards and the existing ones have been renovated.
Before they returned, Chen Qiu had already prepared a lot of things for them, so they had everything they needed to wear and use. When they left the palace, they brought back many things in large and small carts.
Baojie took Guige out to play by herself, and Yan Zhili let his guards accompany them, which made him feel at ease. While staying by his wife's side, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look preoccupied?"
Liu Qin pursed her lips, her eyes reddening as she said, "Sister Bao has killed someone."
Yan Zhili was also taken aback. He didn't think killing people was a big deal. He had killed many people to get to where he was today, but he didn't expect that his daughter had killed someone at such a young age.
“It’s not Baojie’s fault.” Liu Qin hurriedly explained, “There was a lot of kidnapping outside at the time. Two old women came to our house in the middle of the night to forcibly take Guige away. They even injured my mother and me. If it weren’t for Baojie, Guige would probably have been taken away.”
