Seeing Yan Xuanye coming back, Ma Qi asked curiously, "Why did your highness come back so soon? Didn't you have dinner with the goddess?"

Seeing Yan Xuanye's bitterness and a hint of anger, he seemed very puzzled. Still holding the exquisite gift box in his hand, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't these earrings meant to be given to the goddess? Why are you taking them back..."

"Machi." Yan Xuanye interrupted his question.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"What would you do if the girl you like doesn't have you in her heart?" Although he was trying to restrain himself, Su Qian's words kept coming back to his mind, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Ma Qi: "Well, Your Highness is worried about this matter. Actually, I think this is a good thing."

Yan Xuanye tilted his head and asked, "Good news?"

"Your Highness, think about it, the goddess is just an ordinary person? If the goddess flatters your Highness like other women, will your Highness still love her?"

Yan Xuanye listened silently, but Ma Qi knew that he had taken it in, so he slowly said: "It is precisely because the goddess is different from other women and will not easily fall in love with a man that such sincerity is more precious, isn't it?

Feelings are cultivated, and Your Highness should communicate more with the Goddess. We have already conquered thirteen cities, and we are all clear about some things. Your Highness, why don't you let everyone do it, so that you can have more free time to accompany the Goddess. "

"I think Lu Huan is also a powerful person. Compared with Your Highness..."

When Yan Xuanye heard this, he glanced at him calmly. Ma Qi chuckled and said again: "Compared to Your Highness, he is not much inferior. However, although they are both favored by heaven, they have different temperaments. Who knows what kind of temperament the goddess will like in men."

"Your Highness, you still have to work hard and try to win the heart of the goddess as soon as possible."

Yan Xuanye was silent for a while, then nodded, "You are right."

……

In the evening, maids lined up in the courtyard. Cuiwei picked up the exquisite white porcelain bowls from a maid's tray and placed the dishes on the table. One person stepped back and another took over. Soon, dinner was ready.

"Miss, Cuiwei will wait for you to wash your hands and have your meal."

Su Qian: "Okay."

"Today we have shrimp and black bean sauce chicken that the girl likes. Please use more later."

Su Qian dipped her hands in the water with the flower juice and sighed, "After eating like this every day, I feel like I've gained some weight, especially my waist, which has become thicker."

Yan Xuanye did not let his servants inform her when he came. As soon as he arrived at her door, he heard her words. Yan Xuanye subconsciously looked at her waist.

Summer clothes were thin, and the gauze was loose, and he could feel how slender her waist was through the clothes, like a willow swaying in the wind. Yan Xuanye stretched out his right palm and compared it, wow, it was so slender that it could be grasped.

"The goddess has a slender and graceful figure, with curves in all the right places. There's no need to be so hard on yourself. I think you should eat more."

He spoke suddenly, which scared Su Qian. What did he mean by curvy and well-proportioned? If Yan Xuanye hadn't said it, Su Qian would have thought that some gangster or bandit had come and was talking nonsense.

Yan Xuanye frowned: "Goddess, don't you welcome me here?"

Cuiwei handed over a piece of dry cloth, and Su Qian wiped the water stains on her hands and slowly said, "It's not that I don't welcome His Royal Highness Prince Yan, but I was shocked when His Royal Highness suddenly said something like this behind my back."

"Since Your Highness is here, let's have dinner together. Please take a seat."

"Cuiwei, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes."

Cuiwei placed a new set of bowls and chopsticks in front of Yan Xuanye. Just as she was about to serve the dishes, Yan Xuanye gave her a stern look, motioning her to go down and not be a nuisance.

Cuiwei looked at Su Qian at a loss, and Su Qian gave her a reassuring look: "Cuiwei, you can go down first, there is no need to prepare the meal."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Su Qian smiled and put another piece of black bean sauce chicken into his bowl: "I don't know what kind of dishes Your Highness likes, just eat some."

Yan Xuanye's gaze stayed on her hand that was picking up the food. Her fingers were as slender as water chestnuts and as white as jade.

Unlike his fingers, which were covered with calluses due to years of martial arts practice, and felt rough and frosted when touched.

"I told the goddess last time that you don't have to call me Your Highness. It's too formal. The goddess can just call me by my name."

Su Qian choked for a moment. She was too embarrassed to call him by his name. But she changed her mind and thought that if Lu Huan's way was not feasible, it would be a good idea to establish a good relationship with Yan Xuanye and ask him to withdraw his troops back to the north. Although she didn't know if it was feasible, she had to give it a try.

Su Qian: "Okay, if that's the case, don't call me goddess anymore."

The two looked at each other, and Su Qian said, "My last name is Su and my given name is Qian. From now on, you can just call me by my name."

When she was dressed as a man before, her fake name was Su Zhao, and Yan Xuanye knew about it. However, since her identity was fake, her name was also fake, and Yan Xuanye always regarded her as a goddess and did not think about her name.

At this time, Su Qian told him the truth, and he was naturally overjoyed.

Yan Xuanye's eyebrows were smiling, and the terrifying aura around him became gentle: "Then I will call you Qianqian from now on, is that okay?"

Su Qian nodded: "Okay."

Yan Xuanye asked again: "Then what do you want to call me?"

Su Qian looked up and saw that he was waiting for her to speak seriously. She couldn't help but think carefully...

What should she call him? Xuanye? Yeye? Su Qian tried to call him a few times in her mind, but they were too corny and she couldn't accept them at all.

Seeing her frowning and troubled look, Yan Xuanye gave her an idea, "Otherwise, you can just call me Aye."

"That's how my mother used to call me."

There was a lot of gossip about Yan Xuanye outside. Su Qian was still quite surprised to hear that his mother had passed away. Now she heard him talk about his mother on his own initiative.

She smiled faintly and called him, "Aye."

From Yan Xuanye's expression, she could tell that he was extremely satisfied. After exchanging titles, Su Qian felt that the distance between them had shortened a lot.

But despite this, she still didn't dare to be careless. Yan Xuanye had to make an effort, and Lu Huan couldn't give up either.

The next day, Su Qian quietly changed back into men's clothes and planned to go to a teahouse in Zhiyi City to sit and find out some things about Lu Huan. Teahouses are a place where good and bad people mix together, and there should be a lot of gossip that will help the development of her mission.
