Chapter 57 Sincerity?
Yan Qingwan couldn't help but smile as he watched her asking questions so persistently.
She raised her head, looked at him with a very serious look, and asked softly, "Fourth Brother, do you really want to know that much?"
Yan Qingli nodded without hesitation, indicating that he really wanted to know.
If he knew about these circumstances, he could write a letter to tell his third brother immediately and test how he would react. He couldn't let him feel uncomfortable.
Yan Qingwan sorted out his thoughts for a while, turned around and walked into the house, and said slowly: "Since you really want to know, let's go inside and talk. It's too hot outside."
Hearing this, Yan Qingli quickly took a step and followed closely behind.
After entering the room, Yan Qingwan sat down and calmly drank a sip of tea before saying, "Your Highness and I don't have much interaction. Except for the time when you were there when he returned to Beijing from the border,
Later, when we attended a palace banquet, we ran into him once by chance in the Imperial Garden. Also, during the Qiqiao Festival, my third brother and I went out for fun together, but we got lost in the crowd and ended up meeting the prince.
Besides, after coming here, we met several times because of the wild boar incident in the mountains. Oh, I also met him when I attended the eldest princess's banquet not long ago, that's about it."
Yan Qingli frowned after listening to this and asked in confusion: "That's it? Nothing else happened?"
Yan Qingwan nodded and replied, "Yes, that's it."
Yan Qingli: "Then is there anything different every time you meet?"
Yan Qingwan's face turned slightly red when she thought of her interactions with the prince.
But on the surface, she pretended to be serious, shook her head and said, "No, I don't know why I suddenly became the Crown Princess."
Yan Qingli nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Yan Qingwan with sharp eyes and said seriously:
"I understand. You'd better not go out easily recently, okay? If Miss Zeng doesn't return to the capital, I really can't let you go out without worry."
Yan Qingwan nodded and replied, "I understand, Fourth Brother."
Yan Qingli continued, "Then you should have a good rest. I'll go to the front yard to see what this prince is doing here."
"Okay, fourth brother, you go ahead." Yan Qingwan responded with a smile.
Watching Yan Qingli turn around and leave, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his chest, then slowly walked into the inner room, sat down on the chaise longue, and secretly rejoiced... It was a close call.
She thought about what she had just said to her fourth brother and felt that there shouldn't be any loopholes!
Fortunately, this time she was facing the somewhat careless Fourth Brother. If it was the shrewd Third Brother, she would probably be exposed after just a few words of conversation.
After calming down for a while, Yan Qingwan turned to look at Shi Yu who was not far away and said softly, "Send someone to the front yard to see when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave."
When Shi Yu heard this, he nodded quickly and then turned and left.
Soon, another little maid ran into the yard panting, panting and shouting excitedly, "Miss, the gift sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be at the gate of the yard soon."
When Yan Qingwan heard the news, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, walked to the door and looked outside.
To be honest, she was also quite curious. What kind of surprise would Si Jinchen give to his beloved for the first time?
Not long after, several strong soldiers carrying a few boxes entered the yard following Zhong Chengyi, the eunuch who was with Si Jinchen and whom he had met several times before.
Following behind were several people carrying two black cages.
Yan Qingwan raised his foot curiously and looked into the cage for a few times.
But due to the height of the soldiers in front of her, she never saw what was inside.
I suppressed my curiosity and stood there waiting for a while.
Then Zhong Chengyi walked forward with a big smile on his face, bowed to Yan Qingwan, and said with a respectful smile: "Miss Yan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring you some small gifts. I hope you like them."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to put the boxes and cages on the ground, and then opened the boxes.
Yan Qingwan walked to the box curiously and took a look, and found that it was filled with precious jewelry, silks, satins, etc.
Although these gifts were valuable, they did not surprise her particularly much.
After all, as a young lady from a marquis's mansion, she was used to seeing these things and was no stranger to these material enjoyments.
However, when she saw what was in the cage, she was stunned.
In the first cage, a snow-white wolf was staring at her with wide eyes and a wary look on its face.
The other cage held a tiger cub.
These two animals were obviously carefully selected and trained. Their fur is smooth and shiny, and their eyes reveal a sense of majesty and dominance.
Yan Qingwan looked at Zhong Chengyi in surprise, "This? Is this... a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhong Chengyi nodded and explained: "Yes, girl. This wolf is called Arctic Wolf. It was one of the tributes sent by the Snow Country that Your Highness conquered not long ago.
Its fur is as white as snow. It is one of the few animals that can endure the harsh conditions of the Arctic and can run on the snow as if it were flat ground.
The little tiger next to it was captured and tamed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself not long ago. Its bravery and strength are unmatched.
These two animals are rare treasures in the world. His Royal Highness said that they are betrothal gifts to the girl. "
After hearing what Zhong Chengyi said, Yan Qingwan's first reaction was, this is real punishment.
Fortunately, this is not in the future, otherwise she would have to go in and operate the sewing machine.
But I still felt excited.
She thought these gifts were Si Jinchen's way of showing his sincerity to her, but she didn't expect them to be directly elevated to betrothal gifts.
Si Jinchen is really a person who does great things silently.
She couldn't help but look at Zhong Chengyi and said, "Please thank His Highness for me. This gift is so precious. I don't know how to take care of it."
Seeing this, Zhong Chengyi smiled and said, "The prince has arranged for several people to take care of this Arctic wolf and the little tiger. Miss Yan, just relax."
After hearing this, Yan Qingwan nodded with relief.
She also felt a little foolish. The prince was such a smart man. If he had already thought of a gift for her, he would naturally do it very well.
How could it cause her to worry any more?
Zhong Chengyi: "Miss Yan, do you have any other questions?"
Yan Qingwan shook his head and said, "No more, please excuse me, eunuch."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chengyi bowed respectfully and then led everyone out of the yard.
Watching the few people walk away, Yan Qingwan's gaze fell back on the two cages in front of Yan.
At this time, the two palace maids whose view was previously blocked by the soldiers smiled and leaned towards Yan Qingwan, saying softly, "Miss Yan."
