Prince Ning Li Heng and Princess Ning Shen Qin attached great importance to Chu Yan's arrival. They sent people to inquire about Chu Yan almost every mile.
As soon as they got the news, the two led everyone in the palace to wait at the door.
After not sleeping well all night, the carriage was bumpy and bumpy. Chu Yan was now tired and sleepy.
She covered her lips with her hands and yawned, vaguely opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
When Princess Ning saw Chu Yan, her eyes immediately lit up!
She took two steps forward and came to Chu Yan first, and said happily: "Is this Yan'er? What a charming beauty!"
When the wind outside blew, Chu Yan became more awake. He quickly lowered his head shyly, without even seeing the person in front of him clearly, so he knelt down and saluted: "Yan'er has met the princess and the prince."
Princess Ning hurriedly took her hand, helped her up, and said angrily: "Why do you care about those false etiquettes? Didn't your parents tell you? Your father is the sworn brother of Prince Ning, and your mother and I are Handkerchief handed over, you can call me uncle or my aunt!"
Prince Ning smiled and nodded: "Your aunt is right, Yan'er doesn't need to be seen outside."
Normally speaking, this is actually a bit strange. After all, one is either aunt or uncle, but now one is called uncle and the other is called aunt.
This is what happens when the relationship between the two families has reached a certain level.
When Chu Yan heard this, he called out obediently, "Uncle, aunt."
"Why!"
Princess Ning smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes: "Look, my daughter's family is so well-behaved, it really makes people happy! They are not like the two brats I gave birth to. One is a dull boy who knows how to dance and write all day long, and the other is a fool, what a serious thing. Don’t do anything!”
Naturally, Prince Ning also had daughters, but they were not born to the princess, so they were naturally ignored.
Chu Yan said gently: "My aunt was joking. When we were leaving, my parents were still praising me, saying that my uncle and aunt raised my two brothers very well, and told me that after coming to the capital, I must listen to my brothers. "
The smile on Princess Ning's face deepened when she heard this. She looked at Li Han who was silent and said: "Here, this is my eldest son who can write and write. You can call him Brother Han. The brat next to you is , that’s your brother Yin.”
Li Han looked at Chu Yan and took the lead in speaking softly: "Sister Yan'er."
Chu Yan raised her eyes to look at him and met a pair of eyes with a gentle smile.
She showed shyness on her face and was about to speak when she saw Li Yin standing next to him, looking at her coldly with no expression on his face.
When he saw his appearance, Chu Yan's heart suddenly dropped into an ice cellar.
This face was clearly that of the imperial prisoner she threw into the sea last night!
Chu Yan quickly lowered his head, for fear of being noticed by others, and called softly: "Brother Han, brother Yin."
Li Han responded with a gentle expression.
The two families have discussed that one of Chu Yan's purposes in coming to Prince Ning's Mansion is to cultivate a relationship with Li Han so that they can get engaged.
Looking at the two of them, one was smiling and staring, the other was bowing his head shyly. Prince Ning and Princess Ning suddenly smiled and were about to say something. Li Yin, who was watching coldly from the side, suddenly snorted: "Sister Yan'er is so cool." Looks familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere?”
Hearing this, Chu Yan's heart suddenly thumped.
"You brat!" Prince Ning slapped Li Yin on the back of the head: "Stop your nonsense, Yan'er is not the Yingying Yanyan you know!"
Li Yin looked at Chu Yan and sneered.
Princess Ning held Chu Yan's hand and said: "Ignore that brat, he's just a loser! You must be tired after coming from a long way. Let's not talk at the door. Let's go into the house and chat slowly. Let's meet you by the way." Meet the other people in the house.”
Chu Yan responded obediently and let her lead her towards the house.
Li Yin looked at her back and snorted coldly.
Li Han asked in a low voice: "This is just the first time you and sister Yan'er have met, so why are you so unkind? In the past, weren't you the most compassionate person?"
Li Yin glanced at him: "Don't look at people by their appearance. Do you know what a femme fatale is?"
His voice was not quiet, and Chu Yan in front could hear it clearly.
She lowered her eyes, her heart gradually tightening.
Pingyang Prince's Palace seemed to have infinite scenery, but since the emperor became addicted to alchemy, he became increasingly faint and had evil thoughts about Pingyang Prince's Palace.
This time she came to Beijing, seemingly as a guest at the Queen's invitation, but in fact, she was here to be a hostage!
Fortunately, Prince Ning and Princess Ning had a close relationship with Prince Pingyang and his wife, so they specifically begged to let her stay in Prince Ning's Mansion.
He also specifically pointed out that she was allowed to develop a relationship with Prince Ning's eldest son, Li Han, and if both of them had no objections, they would be engaged and the marriage would be finalized, or they could get married in person, and legitimately provide her with protection.
If what happened last night were known to Prince Ning and his wife, not only would the marriage be canceled, the relationship between the two families would be severed, and she and the Prince of Pingyang would even be in an isolated and helpless situation.
Seeing her pale face, Princess Ning immediately looked back and angrily said, "If you can't speak, then don't speak! Those who know know that you are praising Yan'er's beauty, but those who don't know think you have some dissatisfaction with her!"
Li Yin looked at Chu Yan and slowly said: "It's just the first time we've met, so I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. Sister Yan'er, don't you think so?"
Chu Yan turned around and saluted him: "Thank you, Brother Yin, for complimenting my appearance."
Li Yin immediately laughed angrily when she heard this. She knew what he was talking about, but she still dared to say thank you. She was as shameless as ever!
Princess Ning glared at Li Yin and led Chu Yan into the house: "He is just unlearned and incompetent. He can't praise others well. Don't take it to heart. Your father and mother are so good. Last time we met That was a few years ago.”
Chu Yan answered them all gently, bringing greetings from her parents along the way.
Prince Ning and Princess Ning were immediately more satisfied when they saw that she was not only beautiful, but also dignified and well-spoken.
When they came to the front hall and sat down, Prince Ning and Princess Ning chatted with Chu Yan.
Chu Yan answered one by one, and his peripheral vision fell on Li Yin.
Although she didn't know how he became a prisoner of the imperial court, what he did should be hidden from Prince Ning and his wife. At this moment, he stopped talking. Presumably, he would not tell Prince Ning and his wife what happened last night. This made her Silently relieved.
But it turned out that her tone of relief was too early.
Just as she was chatting with Princess Ning, Prince Ning suddenly shouted coldly: "Li Yin! What are you hiding in your sleeves?!"
The sudden cold drink made everyone look at Li Yin's sleeves.
Chu Yan is no exception.
However, when she saw most of the piece of fabric he pulled out of his sleeve, her face turned pale again.
That is……
