This was the first time the two of them had met face to face in Da Zhou after being separated for a long time.
Yuchi Yan gazed at Qin Yining with infatuation. He saw her long, shapely eyebrows, sparkling eyes, jade-like nose, and luscious lips. She seemed to be in a daze. Her every frown and smile attracted admiration. Uncontrollable throbbing in his chest, he almost blurted out a concerned greeting.
However, Yuchi Yan still retained some rationality. He realized that there were many people around and it wasn't convenient for him to say goodbye. He could only suppress his feelings and turn to greet Qin Huaiyuan.
"How have you been these days, Grand Preceptor Qin? You haven't returned for a long time. There have been rumors in the outside world. Zhen … This King was very worried after hearing about it. "
Qin Huaiyuan looked at Yuchi Yan's mottled temples and saw his concerned expression. He felt a wave of sadness in his heart. As usual, he performed the formal etiquette of a ruler and his subject. "It's my fault for making the Prince worry."
"Grand Preceptor Qin, please rise quickly." Yuchi Yan saw him being so courteous and she was moved.
After the collapse of the Yan dynasty, his former subjects who came to Da Zhou might not be promoted, but each of them had a brighter future than him. He was destined to be a bird in a cage for the rest of his life. He could no longer help them in their careers.
However, Qin Huaiyuan's attitude towards him was still as respectful and intimate as it was in Dayan. Other than the change in the way he addressed him, everything else seemed to have not changed.
For a moment, Yuchi Yan was very disappointed but also very moved.
"Da Zhou is more suitable for Grand Preceptor Qin to fulfill your ambitions than Dayan. In the future, Grand Preceptor Qin must be diligent. You must not lose face in front of the people of Da Zhou as Dayan people. In the future, I will have to trouble Grand Preceptor Qin to take care of the subjects who came from Dayan. "
Yuchi Yan's words made everyone present feel uncomfortable. They couldn't help but sigh at Yuchi Yan's kindness.
Whether or not his words came from his heart, his concern for Qin Huaiyuan was real.
Qin Huaiyuan bowed respectfully and said, "I will listen to your instructions. I will do my best."
"With your words, I can rest assured."
Seeing that there were only women here and that his every move was being monitored by others, it was not convenient for him to stay for long. Therefore, he only greeted the old madam with a few words before taking his leave.
Before he left, Yuchi Yan hesitated again and again. In the end, he couldn't resist the deep longing and expectation. He turned around and said, "Miss Si, I have something to ask you."
Qin Yining frowned slightly. She would never forget the bad memories of being forced by this person in the palace. When she saw that Yuchi Yan's hair had turned white at such a young age, although she sighed for him, it was impossible for her to not have any grudges.
However, this was no longer the palace of Dayan. Yuchi Yan's every move was being monitored by others. He probably wouldn't do anything to her.
With that in mind, Qin Yining looked inquiringly at Qin Huaiyuan. When he saw Qin Huaiyuan nod, Qin Yining followed Yuchi Yan out.
When the old madam saw this, she was in a good mood and teased, "It seems that the County King of Yan still has feelings for our Sister Yi. Back then, Sister Yi did not become the Empress because they were not fated to be together. Now that Sister Yi's reputation is ruined, it would be a good thing if she could become the County King of Yan's concubine."
When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he frowned. Just as he was about to speak, the Sun Clan spoke first, "The old madam's words are reasonable, but Sister Yi is not an ordinary girl. Her marriage should be decided by the old master."
The old madam was speechless for a moment. When she thought of their family's situation in the Zhou Dynasty and how they had to rely on their eldest son everywhere, she really couldn't use her status as an elder to oppress others.
However, the old madam had never liked the Sun Clan. Naturally, she wouldn't give her any face. She immediately said sarcastically, "It's true that a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. You used to be a one-track minded person, but now you've learned to involve Brother Meng."
They had just returned and the old madam was already provoking them. The Sun Clan had never been people who could swallow their anger. The moment they opened their mouths, they wanted to argue with her.
However, Cao Yuqing took the Sun Clan's arm first and pinched her suggestively, "The old madam is in the spring and autumn period. You should take good care of yourself. Always looking for trouble at the slightest thing will harm your body."
The old madam didn't expect that Cao Yuqing would speak for the Sun Clan. Shouldn't the wife and the concubine be at odds with each other? After going out for a while, they actually targeted her together!
In the past, the old madam flattered Cao Yuqing a lot because of Cao Yuqing's family background.
Now that the Dayan court was gone, Cao Yuqing had long become rootless duckweed. She was only a concubine of her son. Why would the old madam care?
"You really know the rules. When the master speaks, is there a place for you, a servant, to speak?"
Cao Yuqing raised her eyebrows and sneered, "From the beginning when I entered your family, I was ordered to cooperate with Qin Daren and cooperate with him. Being a concubine is just a cover-up. Now, I have already asked Daren for a concubine release. I am no longer the nominal servant of your family, but Daren's imperial bodyguard captain. If the old madam isn't afraid that one day, the silver-masked spies will come late at night, please show some respect!"
In the end, Cao Yuqing was a person who had seen blood. When she looked at people seriously, it was really frightening.
Thinking of the time when Cao Yuqing led the silver-masked spies to fight against the enemy in Dayan and the legendary silver-masked spies, the old madam couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. She blinked her eyes and couldn't say a word.
When the Sun Clan heard this sentence, they were still in shock and forgot to react for a moment.
The scene instantly quieted down. Only then did Qin Huaiyuan say, "I have my own arrangements for Sister Yi's matter. Mother doesn't need to worry."
Qin Yining was his only pearl, so he didn't like the old madam's words. That was why he allowed the womenfolk to bicker a bit. However, he was still her son, so it wasn't good for him to anger his mother too much.

Qin Yining didn't know what was going on inside the room. At this time, she was walking side by side with Yuchi Yan on the hand-folding veranda. They were slowly walking towards the front of the courtyard. The two's attendants were following behind them from a distance.
Yuchi Yan said, "Your complexion has been pretty good recently. I think your body should be fine now, right? "
When Qin Yining was in the prince's fu, she ate medicinal cuisine, abalone, and sea cucumber. Now, her body was a lot better.
"Thank you for your concern, Royal Prince. I'm fine. Royal Prince, please take care of yourself. "Qin Yining slowed down her steps and once again trailed behind Yuchi Yan by half a body.
When Yuchi Yan saw her like this, he also slowed down his steps and insisted on walking alongside her, "Whether I take care of myself or not, this is the end of my life. I'm just worried about you."
Qin Yining felt that these words were too ambiguous. They didn't have any relationship, so what was there to be worried about?
"Thank you, Royal Prince."
Seeing her reply so dryly, Yuchi Yan helplessly said, "You're still like this. It seems like you still hold a grudge against me."
"Your words are too serious." Qin Yining continued to be distant and courteous as she replied.
Yuchi Yan stopped in his tracks and looked at her seriously, "I know about what happened to you a few days ago. Don't worry, I will discuss it with your father later. You don't have to worry about ruining your reputation and not being able to marry into a good family. Why don't you come with me? Although I don't have the chance to make a meteoric rise, I can still respect and love you for the rest of my life and give you a warm family."
At this point, Yuchi Yan nervously clenched his fists and said anxiously, "Sister Yi, let me take care of you, okay?"
Qin Yining frowned. Before she could answer, a cold snort suddenly came from the entrance of the courtyard, "Royal Prince Yan sure is in a good mood."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Who else could it be other than Pang Xiao, dressed in a purple brocade robe and a cloak with a silver fox fur collar?
