Xiao Yu panicked and quickly grabbed Leng Qingning's arm, shouting, "No! You've all left. I'm so lonely all by myself. Sister, I want to go too! Please take me with you! Let's take Xinyue with us!" (Xinyue was the name Sang Yu gave the little fox.)
“I see…” Leng Qingning was still hesitating.
Xiao Yu looked to Wen Yanche for help, her eyes pleading.
"Ning'er, stop teasing him, or he'll cry in front of you."
Leng Qingning laughed out loud, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You should go too, let's go together."
"Thank you, sister."
………
Three days later, the weather was warm and sunny.
Leng Qingning and her family set off, accompanied by an army of 50,000.
Half a month later, they arrived in the Jin Kingdom without incident.
That evening, the Jin emperor held a special banquet at the Ganhe Palace to welcome the young ruler of Dayue. All the civil and military officials of the Jin state gathered to welcome Leng Qingning.
The banquet was extremely grand, and only Leng Qingning was waiting to attend.
"I've heard that the young king of Dayue is both talented and handsome. I wonder if that's true."
"It must be true. His Majesty personally invited her this time, so the Crown Princess of Dayue must be an extraordinary person. I'm afraid His Majesty intends to marry the young prince or a prince to her. I just don't know which prince it will be."
"Of course it is. It must be His Highness the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince is extremely handsome. Everyone who sees him will say that he is a peerless gentleman. When the young king of Dayue sees His Highness the Fifth Prince, he will definitely not be able to take his eyes off him. Hahaha."
“Indeed, the Fifth Young Master is one of the most handsome men in our Great Jin. There is only one person who is better than him…” She stopped herself in time, then stole a glance at the young general on the left side of the platform, and looked at the area behind the platform to make sure that the Fifth Young Master was not looking at her. She breathed a sigh of relief, “Sigh, His Highness Dayue will definitely like the Fifth Young Master.”
"Lord Luo, are you trying to say...? Hahaha." Another person laughed loudly, "Lord Luo is overthinking it. That person is not someone that just anyone would dare to covet." After saying that, his gaze drifted to the left side of the high platform.
"Exactly, with that guy's temper, who would dare to go up and provoke him?"
"Alright, alright, gentlemen, stop speculating amongst yourselves." He lowered his voice and said, "Don't provoke the young prince; you can't afford to take the blame."
"Lord Wang is right."...
The Second Princess Jin Man, sitting on the high platform, kept a close eye on the mouths of the others. The more she looked, the deeper her brows furrowed, but she dared not openly lose her temper.
He could only lower his voice and mutter under his breath: "Tch, as if my fifth brother would even be interested in her. A bunch of old fogies, always comparing that fierce-looking Jin Yan to my fifth brother. How could he possibly be worthy of being compared to my fifth brother!"
Jin Man glared at Jin Yan from afar, her face filled with jealousy.
"Second sister, why get angry!" The eldest princess, Jin Yu, advised kindly, "Wouldn't it be just what you want if he married into Dayue?"
"Ha, the way you're saying that makes it sound like it doesn't suit your taste," Jin Man retorted coldly, not even glancing at her.
In the Jin Kingdom, Jin Yan's existence has always been the biggest threat in the eyes of the two. Not only does the Jin Emperor dote on him, but his birth mother also holds great power. If he were just an ordinary man, it would be fine, but he is the first male prince in history...
How could the two of them tolerate a man who was better than them in every way? As long as he was around, the two of them could not feel at ease.
Compared to the straightforward Jin Man, Jin Yu has always been good-tempered, but only compared to her second sister. "Yes, what my second sister said makes sense. He is indeed a major threat to us sisters. If we take this opportunity to get rid of him quietly, wouldn't we have no worries about the future?"
Jin Man's thick eyebrows furrowed together. "What do you mean?"
"The Fifth Young Master cannot marry into Dayue. Let's join forces to help Jin Yan marry into the family. In this way, we can defeat the enemy without bloodshed, and from now on, neither of us will have to see that troublesome person again."
Jin Yu looked at Jin Man with confidence. In fact, she had many other little schemes. Besides wanting Jin Yan to get out of Jin Guo, she secretly did not want Jin Man's younger brother to marry the young king of Dayue.
Even if she only marries into the family and becomes a vice minister, it means that Jin Man will gain Da Yue as a strong backer, which is actually detrimental to her.
"Big sister, do you really think that way?"
"Second sister, it's up to you what to do; your elder sister is merely making a suggestion."
"Okay! Deal."
Jin Man picked up his wine glass and drank it without touching it.
As long as she can get rid of Jin Yan, she doesn't mind joining forces with her good-for-nothing older sister.
Jin Yan, sitting at a distance, never once gave the two of them a glance.
It's obvious without even looking that these two are up to no good and are probably making fun of him again.
However, he didn't care; he had never taken the two of them seriously.
Judging by the time, Leng Qingning should have arrived by now.
Jin Yan got up and walked outside, stopping on the left side of the main hall door, quietly waiting for her arrival.
"Where is the young prince going?"
"I don't know... Why don't you go and take a look?"
"I'm not going!" Would I just be asking for a scolding?
After a short while, Leng Qingning and her family came into Jin Yan's sight.
Before Jin Yan could get a good look at the group of people, a familiar and sweet voice rang out.
"Brother Jin Yan".
Jin Yan looked closely and saw a handsome young man, two heads shorter than them, suddenly run out from among a group of stunningly handsome men!
The first thing that catches the eye is those captivating eyes.
"Xiaoyu?" Jin Yan asked in surprise. Sangyu had come too?
Xiaoyu ran quickly and happily to Jin Yan's side, "Brother Jin Yan, were you waiting for us?"
Jin Yan was pleasantly surprised, "Yes, I didn't expect you to come too."
“Yes, all my older brothers and sisters have come to your Jin Kingdom for a trip, so of course I want to come along too.” Sang Yu smiled happily.
"Okay, I'll take you out to play in a couple of days."
"Mmm." Sang Yu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Just then, Leng Qingning and her group walked over.
Nearly a year had passed since they last met. When Jin Yan saw Leng Qingning for the first time, his heart pounded wildly. It seemed that her face had appeared many times in his dreams, but each time it was blurry and indistinct.
Now, Leng Qingning was standing right in front of him. The lovely woman in front of him overlapped with the one in his dream, making him feel completely dazed for a moment.
After not seeing each other for many days, Leng Qingning looked at Jin Yan as if she were reuniting with an old friend, her eyes naturally overflowing with a sense of familiar longing. A faint smile bloomed on her lips, which instantly transformed into a deep and radiant smile.
That smile not only dazzled Jin Yan, but also seriously offended the group of stunningly handsome men beside her who were intently watching the two of them.
Even Xiaoyu looked at her with some surprise, having never seen her sister smile like that before...
That heartfelt emotion was evident on every corner of his face and every inch of his skin, without any concealment.
Suddenly, Gu Nanshu felt an overwhelming sense of pressure rushing towards him! An unprecedented sense of panic gripped his heart.
This was the first time he truly felt the meaning of pressure!
This man was different from all the young men in the manor, and even completely different from any man he had ever seen or known!
