After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Chapter 123 Departure to Jiangnan

The next day.

Yan Qingwan slowly opened his eyes, and when his vision gradually became clear, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

The house was comfortably and beautifully decorated, and it looked like everything was arranged according to her preferences.

Suddenly, the scene in the bathroom last night came to her mind and her cheeks flushed instantly.

After calming down a little, Yan Qingwan slowly stood up, put on his clothes, and walked to the window.

Gently push open the window, and what comes into view are the flowers blooming in the yard, colorful and beautiful.

Yan Qingwan's mood also became cheerful.

Just then, there was a slight noise from the door, and then it was slowly pushed open.

Si Jinchen walked into the room, came straight behind her, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.

He gently rested his head on top of hers and whispered, "Awake?"

Yan Qingwan held his hand and said in a tender voice, "Your Highness, is this what you call a world for two?"

Si Jinchen looked towards the yard. When he heard her words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, "What's wrong? Were you unhappy here yesterday?"

After hearing this, Yan Qingwan's ears turned red, and then she pouted her lips and muttered, "That's not the case, but I think Your Highness has other intentions!"

Si Jinchen couldn't help but chuckle.

He whispered, "I'll bring you here next time I have the chance. We should go back to the East Palace."

Yan Qingwan thought of Xiao Qi'an who stayed in the East Palace, nodded, and said in a tender voice: "Okay."

As Si Jinchen finished speaking, he and Yan Qingwan turned around and walked outside side by side.

Just as they were about to reach the door, they suddenly saw Zhong Chengyi walking in quickly with an anxious look on his face.

Zhong Chengyi hurriedly bowed to Si Jinchen and Yan Qingwan, and said respectfully: "Your servant greets the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Si Jinchen waved his hand, motioning him to stand up, and then asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Zhong Chengyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up straight, and glanced at Yan Qingwan inadvertently.

Si Jinchen frowned slightly, "Go ahead, it's okay."

Zhong Chengyi then retracted his gaze, nodded, and answered directly: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace. The emperor asked Your Highness to return to the palace as soon as possible."

Si Jinchen quickened his pace and walked out, asking, "Do you know what the news is?"

Zhong Chengyi hurriedly followed in small steps and explained, "It seems that there is some serious news coming from Jiangning Prefecture."

After hearing this, Si Jinchen hummed, then turned to look at Yan Qingwan beside him, with regretful eyes, and whispered: "You take the carriage back to the palace, I will go first."

Yan Qingwan nodded obediently and responded meekly: "Okay, Your Highness, go and get busy."

Si Jinchen looked at her again, then strode away.

After getting on a horse at the gate, the group quickly headed towards the palace.

Yan Qingwan watched the other group walk away before he slowly got on the carriage.

······

Returned to the East Palace safely.

Yan Qingwan went to see Qi'an first, and seeing that he was still sleeping and safe, he returned to his own yard.

Shortly after lunch.

Si Jinchen rushed back, exhausted, with a little fatigue on his face.

As soon as he entered the room, he said to Yan Qingwan, "Something serious has happened in Jiangning Prefecture. I have to go there. It will take about half a year for now."

Yan Qingwan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then frowned, his eyes filled with worry, "So long?"

Si Jinchen nodded, his expression solemn, "This matter is very serious, I need to go there and handle it myself."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, as if thinking about something.

Yan Qingwan looked at his serious expression and felt an impulse in his heart.

She suddenly walked up to Si Jinchen and said softly, "Your Highness, can I go with you? I promise I won't cause any trouble for you."

Si Jinchen paused. He looked at Yan Qingwan's expectant eyes and thought of the purpose of this trip to Jiangnan. He couldn't help but feel moved.

But then he thought of the possible dangers he might encounter on this trip, and he shook his head, "The journey to Jiangning is long, and the situation is complicated. I don't want you to take risks."

Hearing this, Yan Qingwan said somewhat disappointedly: "Well, I will wait for Your Highness to come back in the palace."

Si Jinchen looked at Yan Qingwan's expression and was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. Then he said in a deep voice: "You can go, but you must listen to my arrangements and cannot act on your own."

When Yan Qingwan heard this, she was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "I will definitely obey you!"

Si Jinchen hummed, and continued: "Take Qi'an with you, just think of it as a way to relax."

When Yan Qingwan heard this proposal, she was even more delighted. She immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I will go pack my luggage now."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, Si Jinchen reminded softly: "Pack some of the things you will need on the road, and buy the rest when you get there."

Yan Qingwan nodded quickly to show that he understood, then left in a hurry.

Si Jinchen looked at her departing back, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

However, when he thought of the real purpose of this trip, his eyes suddenly became serious and cold, his gaze slightly lowered, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, Shi Yu and other palace maids learned that Yan Qingwan was going to pack his luggage and set off for Jiangning Prefecture. They immediately got busy preparing for the trip.

The whole scene was neat and orderly, and everyone was taking active actions without the need for excessive instructions and interference from Yan Qingwan.

Yan Qingwan stood aside and watched for a while, then thought of something and turned to go to the study.

He then wrote two letters and had them delivered to the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion and the Xue Mansion.

In the afternoon, I received reply letters and various things from Madam Yan Er and Madam Xue Dashao.

The next morning, before dawn, Yan Qingwan and his party got on the carriage and set off.

Yan Qingwan only brought two maids, Shiyu and Xiaoman, on this trip, but there were also several wet nurses and nannies who knew medicine to ensure that Qi'an could be properly taken care of.

Because Qi'an was still young, he spent most of the time feeding and sleeping along the way.

Even sitting in a bumpy carriage did not affect his sleep quality at all. Instead, he slept more soundly.

Every time Yan Qingwan went to see him during his break, he was sleeping soundly.

After several days of land travel, Yan Qingwan and Si Jinchen stayed in a small town for half a day. After replenishing a large amount of food for the journey, they boarded a ship heading south.

this day.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines gently through the clouds, dyeing the sea surface orange and red.

Yan Qingwan stood on the deck and gazed out at the beautiful scenery.
