After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

Chapter 1173 The Grand Finale (21)

Long Chi'an's face grew even uglier.

Fu Ciyi quickly rode past him, a smile playing on his lips, and even the horse's tail swung wildly into the air.

Meanwhile, Shi Yangyang moved closer to Yan Funing's side and said with a grin, "I never expected that His Highness Prince Rui, who is such a cold and aloof person, would have such a passionate side."

Pang Anmeng stroked her belly and said with a smile, "That's because you don't understand."

"Don't I know? Everyone knows Prince Rui's cold face is like ice." Shi Yangyang was eager to find someone on her side, or at least someone who shared her views. She quickly raised her chin at Yan Yingying, "Sister Yingying, don't you think so?"

Yan Yingying chuckled: "Is it possible that Prince Rui is cold to others but warm to his wife?"

Shi Yangyang then realized what she meant and laughed, "Oh, right."

As she spoke, she sighed as she watched her brother's departing figure, but quickly smiled with relief.

With the medicine made by Fu Ning herself, perhaps the emptiness in my brother's heart will slowly be filled.

On the other side, Qiao Wanyou pulled Long Yixing to Hong Qingyi's side.

Upon seeing the Emperor and Empress arrive together, Hong Qingyi quickly led the women of the Duke's mansion to pay their respects: "This humble woman greets Your Majesty and Empress."

"Please, no need for formalities." Qiao Wanyou released Long Yi's hand and affectionately took Hong Qingyi's hand. "Qingyi, the Great Jing has encountered such a difficult situation, and we are so grateful to the Duke's Mansion."

Hong Qingyi said gently, "As citizens of Dajing, these are things we should do, especially since the Yan family bears extraordinary responsibilities."

Qiao Wanyou's gaze swept towards Long Yi: "Your Majesty, listen to this. Qingyi is such a good person. You used to forbid me from associating with her."

Long Yi rarely begged for forgiveness in front of outsiders: "I was wrong." He quickly smiled and said, "This child Fu Ning asked me if the grudge between the Yan family and me could be wiped clean. I clearly told her that day. Now I will talk to the Empress and the Duchess and let it be wiped clean."

Several people laughed.

In the following days, Yan Funing stayed alone in the Prince Rui's residence, feeling that the days had passed very slowly since Fu Ciyi led his army away from the capital.

Even though her sister and Anmeng would occasionally come to find her, she would also go to the Yuan family and the Pang family to look for them, and would also visit her grandmothers and mother in the palace every now and then, but the days still passed slowly.

She then went back to her parents' home for a few days.

He spends his days either walking his dragon or his tiger, but his life is still incredibly boring.

She never knew that after someone left, even though every day was still twelve hours, the days still seemed to pass by far too slowly.

She told her sister and Anmeng about this, and they teased her, saying she was lovesick.

Yan Funing blushed slightly: "It's all his fault. Before he left, he told me to remember to think of him. I've been thinking of him for half a month now."

Yan Yingying suggested with a smile, "We can go for a walk."

“Yes, go out for a walk to clear your head.” Pang Anmeng nodded.

Yan Yingying glanced at Pang Anmeng's stomach: "You should just give up."

In the end, the Yan sisters took Pang Anmeng with them to the teahouse.

Just as the three were about to sit down by the window, Shi Yangyang arrived.

"What a coincidence."

She shamelessly insisted on sharing a table with them.

Pang Anmeng clicked her tongue: "We're here to chat and drink tea. You're here to rest because you're tired from shopping, right? We're not on the same path."

The maid behind Shi Yangyang was carrying a lot of fabric, all of which were of the finest quality.

The color alone tells you it's for a man.

Shi Yangyang patted a few bolts of brocade: "I originally intended to put them in the carriage, but seeing you all going to the teahouse, I followed you. I just wanted Sister Yingying and Fu Ning to help me choose what patterns and colors Yan Bojian likes."

Pang Anmeng seemed to have heard some incredible news: "You like Young Master Yan?"

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I love him, and I will marry him when he returns in triumph.” Shi Yangyang showed no embarrassment whatsoever, speaking frankly, “When he comes back and wears the robe I made myself, he will understand my heart.”

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Pang Anmeng clicked her tongue for a long time before finally saying, "It's easy for a woman to pursue a man, just put in the effort." "Thank you." Shi Yangyang was in a good mood. "My treat."

“You should treat us,” Pang Anmeng said bluntly. “You should treat us to lunch too.”

Shi Yangyang readily agreed, then turned to the Yan sisters and said, "Hurry up and help me choose."

"These fabrics were bought from the clothing store on East Third Street, right?" Yan Funing looked at them and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it's yours."

“My third brother owns a share in that shop, so he’ll like whatever color you choose.”

Shi Yangyang was surprised: "Is he that short of money?"

"I'm not short of money, but I'd like to earn more so that I can have a more glamorous wedding in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yangyang blushed, a rare occurrence for her: "Fu Ning, you actually know how to tease me."

The four women giggled.

Just then, hurried footsteps came upstairs.

"Miss." Cai Shi quickened her pace to Yan Funing's side and whispered in her ear, "The Fifth Princess has come to the Prince's Mansion and said she wants to see you and has something to say to you."

"We still need to have tea and a meal," Shi Yangyang muttered.

Yan Funing said in a calm voice, "Let her go back. It's not too late to talk about it when I have time to go to the palace."

Cai Shi agreed and quickly went downstairs again.

"Princess Nanyao has become estranged from Fu Ning because of the matter with the Crown Prince of Beiqi." Shi Yangyang sighed, but when she saw the brocade she had chosen for Yan Bojian, a smile appeared on her face again.

"You're such a heartless person," Pang Anmeng scolded Shi Yangyang directly. "Wasn't it you who encouraged Princess Nanyao to go and see what the Crown Prince of Beiqi looked like?"

Shi Yangyang immediately retorted, "I was just curious about the other person's appearance. I never said I wanted to pair Nan Yao with the Crown Prince of Bei Qi. To be honest, Nan Yao seems to be easily fooled by a man's good looks."

"forget it. I'm done here."

Yan Funing gets a headache whenever she thinks of Fu Nanyao.

Suddenly, Caiyu called out to her, "Miss." Then she heard Caiyu call out to Yan Yingying, "Eldest Miss, look downstairs quickly."

The four people sitting up craned their necks out.

A very familiar-looking woman was walking down the street.

This woman was none other than Yan Yan'er.

She was dressed in coarse cloth, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, and a basket on her back. The basket contained many items, which seemed to be for her to sell in the city for some money.

"Is this the capital?" she asked the man beside her, who was also dressed in coarse cloth.

"Yes, it's the capital city. I've only been here twice."

The man was rough-looking and appeared to be about thirty years old.

He was carrying quite a lot of things on his back, which were probably very heavy, so he stopped to adjust the cloth bag on his shoulder.

"The capital is so prosperous." She looked around, and when she looked up, her gaze met that of several young women at the teahouse window. "They are so beautiful."

She quickly lowered her head, her eyes fixed on her cloth shoes and coarse cloth skirt.

The man leaned closer to her: "You're very pretty too."

The scene before them puzzled the four people upstairs.

They sat back down in their original seats.

Yan Yingying said softly, "This person is Yan Yan'er, I can't mistake her. But why has she changed like this? It seems like she doesn't recognize us anymore?"
