Li Su and Wang Si Qin walked to Auspicious Purple Hall and saw someone wandering under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

Li Su took a closer look and saw it was Xiao Yan Xi.
She couldn’t help but glance back at Wang Si Qin.
Last month, Mrs.
Yang brought up Yan Xi’s marriage.
The other party was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites.
The two families had equal background, but Yan Xi refused.

Everyone in the house knew why.

Wang Si Qin had a calm expression.
She smiled and greeted Xiao Yan Xi.
“Is cousin not on duty today?” Xiao Yan Xi joined the Long Jingwei last year and was responsible for protecting His Majesty.
He had seen Si Qin a few times and did not know when he fell in love with her.

Young people’s affairs needed to be handled by the young people themselves! Li Su smiled and said, “You two can talk.
I’ll go in first.” She then glanced at Wang Si Qin.

Li Su knew in her heart that Wang Si Qin would not like Xiao Yan Xi.
Although, she knew that if Wang Si Qin did marry Yan Xi, it would go well in the future.
However, Li Su considered herself to be an enlightened mother.
She couldn’t force emotional matters and she would not interfere with her child’s happiness under the excuse of doing what’s good for her.

In fact, she was lazy!

Wang Si Qin watched Li Su enter Auspicious Purple Hall with a smile on her face.

“Why did cousin come find me?”

As the future heir of Yong An Mansion, Xiao Yan Xi was undoubtedly proud.
But, all his pride disappeared when he saw Wang Si Qin.
He was like all youngsters who were in love and he became a bit scared in front of his sweetheart.

“Si Qin, have you thought about the future?” Xiao Yan Xi said after a long time.

Wang Si Qin smiled slightly.
“I have thought about my future since a long time ago.
I have been working hard for it for so many years.”

Xiao Yan Xi felt desolate.
He heard the rejection in Si Qin’s words, but he didn’t give up.
He wanted to work hard again.
“Si Qin, marry me.
I will give you the most freedom.
You can still pursue your dreams.”

Wang Si Qin looked directly at Xiao Yan Xi and smiled.
“But, once a woman is married, she can no longer pursue her dream wholeheartedly.
Cousin, do you know what being your wife means? She will be the hostess of Yong An Mansion.
This responsibility is too great.
Once I bear it, I can no longer pursue the future I want.”

“But, you will have to get married.
You said that you would be restrained if you married me, but if you become a concubine, you will be even more restrained!” Xiao Yan Xi said.

“Cousin, you have lost your mind,” said Wang Si Qin calmly.
“His Majesty and I are not what you think.
I never thought of becoming a member of His Majesty’s harem.”

“I know, Si Qin, but don’t underestimate a man.
You may think so, but His Majesty might not think so.
It is very dangerous for you to continue like this,” said Xiao Yan Xi.

Wang Si Qin looked at Xiao Yan Xi.
“Cousin, thank you, but I know what I am doing.
Don’t worry.
What you are worrying about won’t happen.
His Majesty won’t force me.” She had been with His Majesty for many years so she still had confidence.

Of course, Wang Si Qin also knew that it would be bad if she had to reject His Majesty.
At worst, she would never marry in this life.
She didn’t want to marry at first since she didn’t want to trap herself in a back house.
Her mother was unlikely to oppose her decision, though it might be a bit troublesome on her grandmother’s side.
But, it was too early to tell.

Xiao Yan Xi smiled bitterly.
“Si Qin, are you serious?”

“Cousin, since the day I entered the palace, I gave up the idea of marrying.
I have learned so much.
I don’t need to marry and have a son and trap myself in the house.
I don’t have to be jealous of a group of women,” said Wang Si Qin.

“But Si Qin, you have to know that the world won’t necessarily go how you want.
What happens in the future may be beyond your control.” Xiao Yan Xi had heard some rumours as he was a member of the Long Jingwei.
The regent seemed interested in Si Qin.

Perhaps Si Qin could persuade His Majesty due to their many years of friendship, but what about the regent? Once the regent and His Majesty fought, Si Qin would be in danger.
This was also the reason that forced Xiao Yan Xi to confess.

“So, I would never agree to cousin,” Wang Si Qin said solemnly.
Yong An Mansion was her home.
She can’t and won’t bring Yong An Mansion into this.

A trace of pain flashed through Xiao Yan Xi’s eyes.
“Si Qin!”

“Cousin, thank you very much.
But I really don’t need it.
Yong An Mansion is my home and my last escape route.
I know this very well.
But, now the mansion is at the centre of the storm and I don’t want to make it worse.
Cousin, believe me.
No matter what the situation is, I can deal with it,” said Wang Si Qin solemnly.

Xiao Yan Xi looked sad.
“I see.
You should go in quickly.
Grandmother is still waiting for you.”

“Okay.
Goodbye, cousin.” Wang Si Qin turned and walked inside.

Xiao Yan Xi sadly watched Si Qin leave.

Suddenly, someone came over and patted him on the shoulder.
Xiao Yan Xi looked up in panic.
“Fourth uncle!”

Xiao Zhen Ting smiled.
“What is there to be embarrassed about in front of fourth uncle? You are just admiring someone and that is human nature!”

Xiao Yan Xi bowed his head and didn’t say anything.

“Let’s go.
Walk with fourth uncle!” Xiao Zhen Ting said while he held Xiao Yan Xi’s shoulder.
The two walked into the garden.

Xiao Zhen Ting was acting as a confident older brother for his nephew.

In Auspicious Purple Hall, Wang SI Qin leaned into the old madam’s arms and acted cute.

The old madam was smiling widely.
Since Si Qin had entered the palace, she rarely returned.
Although she knew that Si Qin was very good in the palace, the old madam was still very worried.

When the old madam saw Si Qin with such a girlish appearance, she smiled.
“Si Qin is fourteen this year? You aren’t young anymore.”

Princess Qing Shan felt a little helpless.
“Mother, you forgot that Si Qin is a female official next to His Majesty.
According to the rules, one must be twenty-five years old to get married from the palace.”

“She can only leave the palace when she is twenty-five? How can this be? Oh, I wasn’t able to see Su Su wear a wedding gown in my life.
If I don’t see Si Qin… I, I, I…” The old madam cried.
As she got older, she became more like a child who did things the way she wanted.

Everyone was a little embarrassed.
The old madam glared at Li Su in complaint.
“It was you who taught Si Qin.”

Li Su smiled and peeled a grape.
Then, she removed the seed with a silver stick and fed it to the old madam.
“Grandmother now has Si Qin, so she has thrown me aside.
Yesterday she was crying while holding me and calling me a darling.”

The old madam was so happy.
“The older you get, the younger you look.
Look at you.
When you stand next to Si Qin, who would believe that you are the mother!”

After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Su.
That was true.
In the past few years, everyone’s appearances had changed.
Even Imperial Princess An He had matured a lot.
She was pregnant now and her entire body exuded the glory of pregnancy.
In recent years, she had grown up very quickly under Xiao Zhen Shu’s guidance.
Although, she still occasionally had some naïve ideas.

Only Li Su did not seem to show any traces of aging.
She still looked like she was 22 or 23.
It was the best years of a woman’s life.
If she looked a little younger, she would look too green.
If she looked a little older, she would be too mature.

Imperial Princess An He was the first to agree.
“Yes, Su Su, how do you maintain your appearance? Tell me too!”

How did she maintain it? Li Su smiled inwardly.
She didn’t worry about food and clothing, and she didn’t have to worry about her livelihood.
Without a husband, she didn’t have to take care of a family.
Her daughter was smart with a high IQ.
Basically, she didn’t have to worry too much.
She didn’t have to worry about relationships or socialising.
She just ate and drank all day, writing scripts and messing around.
She was really idle.
How could she not be young?

But, could she say that? She was afraid she would be beaten if she said that.

In the end, Li Su could only say, hypocritically, “My mentality is pretty good, so maybe that’s why I look younger.”

Everyone laughed.

In fact, everyone knew why Li Si looked like this for so many years.
It was only Imperial Princess An He who didn’t know.
(Although Imperial Princess An He had made progress, she hadn’t escaped the label of a silly and sweet woman in the eyes of the other women).
Although they were all envious, they couldn’t do it.

Compared to Li Su’s lightness, they still had a lot of concerns.
This was also a sweet burden!

Wang Si Qin leaned into the old madam’s arms.
She pursed her lips and smiled as she quietly watched the crowd in the room.
No matter what time or state of mind she was in, as long as she came back here, she was very happy.

But good times were always short.
In the afternoon, Wang Si Qin had to return to the palace.

Wang Si Qin felt a little helpless when she saw the unwillingness in everyone’s eyes, especially Li Su’s.
But, she also felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, grandmother stopped for a while.

“Take care of yourself!” Li Su wanted to say more but only this sentence was left.
Her daughter was smart and persistent.
Her daughter knew exactly what she wanted.
She seemed to be of little use in Si Qin’s growth as her mother.

Wang Si Qin smiled and shook Li Su’s hands.
“Mother, take care of yourself too.” From the words her mother wrote, she knew that her mother was someone who liked freedom.
This was because of the rules of this world.
Because of these rules and etiquette, she did not want to trouble her.
Her mother could only be trapped in the back house, unable to see the vast outside world.

But she believed that one day, she would let her mother live as she pleased.

With this confidence, Wang Si Qin took the carriage back to the palace.

The ride was long.
Wang Si Qin sat inside and closed her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Wang Si Qin opened her eyes and frowned.
Just as she was about to speak, the curtain was raised.

“Your Highness!” Wang Si Qin was a little surprised.
