Chapter 177: Women are not allowed to stay in college
The second half of the banquet went very smoothly, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves. As it drew to a close, Emperor Dongli and the envoy from Xipan were the first to leave, and the rest of the guests gradually dispersed...
As Yang Jianwu left the palace with General Yang, many people greeted her along the way. Some offered to send her invitations, some wanted to arrange a tea party, and some even asked directly whether Yang Jianwu was married...
Yang Jianwu maintained a forced smile, her face almost stiffening, while Yang Boshan beside her answered with a forced smile... Finally, they arrived at the carriage, bid farewell to everyone, and were finally able to leave...
"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"
Once inside the carriage, Yang Jianwu stretched and rubbed her cheeks, which were a little numb from smiling. Liang Yan was beside her, giving her a tender back massage.
"Miss, you sang so beautifully! I listened from outside the palace, and none of your songs could surpass yours!"
"Heh~ There's no reward, what's there to be happy about..."
Liang Yan rolled her eyes elegantly. "Miss, in your own words, this is called attracting envy! It's hard for others to get attention, and you don't even want to..."
"My pursuits are different from theirs; one should have a long-term vision!"
"Yes! You're the lady, so you're in charge!"
……
"Miss, the general sent me to ask you whether you wish to return to the general's mansion."
Yang Jianwu lifted the carriage curtain and saw that it was her father's personal guard who had come to deliver a message.
I suppose we won't return to the General's Mansion tonight. Tomorrow, Father will set off with the Xipan envoy, and we'll see each other again in Anshun.
"I'll go and tell my father myself!"
Yang Jianwu alighted from the carriage, approached Yang Boshan's horse, and respectfully bowed, "Father!"
When Yang Boshan saw his daughter come in person, he knew her decision. Alas, such a good child, still kidnapped by someone else...
"Be careful on your way back! Ah Xuan is always so considerate of you, don't always bully him! If the time is right, go home and set a date to settle things!"
Yang Jianwu looked up in astonishment. "Father! Are you really my father?! The matter was just starting to take shape, and you're already trying to push me out like this?!"
"Ahem! People's hearts are complicated, and your father doesn't want your marriage to be used by others!"
That's more like it; that's what a father should say...
"Father, rest assured, I know what I'm doing!"
"Okay, go back now, be careful!"
Yang Boshan sighed inwardly, "It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home..."
"Yes, Father, take care too!"
Watching Yang Boshan's departing figure, Yang Jianwu felt that she really had too little time to spend with her parents. She wanted to find some time as soon as possible to tell her father about Yunzhi so that the whole family could live there and enjoy family life in peace.
After bidding farewell to Yang Boshan, the carriage arrived at Huashuiyuefang. Liangyan opened the curtain and helped Yang Jianwu down from the carriage.
"Just have a maid bring me water to my room, you can go and rest!"
"Miss Xie, you're too kind. I'll arrange it right away!"
Yang Jianwu waved her hand, and before leaving, she didn't forget to pinch Liang Yan's cheek. "Hmm, so smooth!"
"Ugh... How annoying..."
Liang Yan covered her face and ran away.
Puyang Xuan came to the door to greet them when he heard the commotion. He happened to see Yang Jianwu's little gesture and said with a teasing smile, "Jianwu, I didn't expect you to have this hobby. Why don't you pinch my cheek too? I won't run away!"
Yang Jianwu was caught red-handed and felt a little embarrassed. "Your face isn't as tender as Liang Yan's!"
"How would you know if I didn't touch you?! Did you do it while I was asleep?! Hmm?!"
Yang Jianwu said she didn't want to talk to this guy anymore; he was even less upright than herself...
"Hey, don't go yet, I have a gift for you!"
"Huh? What is it?! Let me see it."
Upon hearing that there was a gift, Yang Jianwu was not in a hurry to leave and reached out her hands to receive it.
Puyang Xuan watched as the slender white fingers dangled, and couldn't resist reaching out to grasp them. "Come on, let's go to your room!"
"Uh...it's too late now..."
"You don't have to close the door..."
Screw you, can't you speak properly...?
Huh? What's that soft thing on Ah Xuan's fingertip?
Upon arriving at Yang Jianwu's room, the door was closed behind them by someone.
Pu Yangxuan felt a little nervous; it was his first time giving a gift, and he hoped it wouldn't be disliked...
"What are you going to give me?!"
Yang Jianwu rarely saw Puyang Xuan act so coy, and she was extremely curious about the gift.
Pu Yangxuan mustered his courage and placed the velvet box in Yang Jianwu's hands.
Yang Jianwu glanced at Puyang Xuan, then shifted her gaze to the velvet box. It was a product of Jubaozhai; was he going to give her something of his own? That would be too boring…
Slowly opening the box revealed a translucent orange glass jar containing a luscious lip rouge—a glass lip rouge jar! That's a good idea, but the jar doesn't look very neat. Have the craftsmen's skills declined?
"Sword Dance, this is something I made for you myself!"
"Huh?" Yang Jianwu was somewhat surprised. "You made this?!"
"Yes! Besides the box, the lip gloss and glass lip gloss jar inside were all handmade for you!"
"you……"
Puyang Xuan gazed at Yang Jianwu with tender and affectionate eyes. The light and shadow behind him softened her features, making his already alluring face appear even more handsome...
"I've always wanted to give you a gift that represents my feelings, and today my wish has finally come true. The lip rouge and glass jar were made under the guidance of Shopkeeper Lan and the two craftsmen. They are not perfect, but I hope you won't mind!"
