In the sky, a bright flash of lightning flashed through the thick clouds like a dragon.

This was followed by a loud "boom".

All over the capital city, dogs barked and chickens crowed, and people ran on the streets.

The next moment, heavy rain poured down.

The raindrops rushed down from the sky like a mighty army, and then slammed down hard on the ground. The sound of the rain was as rapid and dense as a marching drum, breaking the sultry heat and bringing coolness to the earth.

Qin Yaoguang sat in the porch, watching the silvery rain pouring down from the eaves like a waterfall, constantly adjusting the plans in his mind.

"Mother!"

She thought she was hallucinating. It was raining so heavily and it was not time to go home for school yet.

Why do I seem to hear Yan Yuanan’s voice?

Qin Yaoguang sat up straight and looked into the rain.

Two young men appeared in sight, running hurriedly.

The two of them walked briskly, completely ignoring the fact that their thin summer clothes were soaked by the rain, nor did they care about their shoes and socks that were soaked by the rain.

With every step he took, larger splashes of water were created, heading straight towards Qin Yaoguang.

The servant behind them was holding an umbrella, but he couldn't catch up with the two men at all.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Yaoguang suddenly stood up and ordered: "Quick! Go and prepare hot water, dry clothes, and a towel to wipe your hair!"

"Yes."

Guyu knelt down and hurriedly took the little maid to receive the order and left.

The boy ran quickly to the corridor and called out, "Mother!"

Today, Yan Yuanan is fourteen years old, and Yan Shiyan is only thirteen years old.

With daily persistent morning exercises and adequate nutrition, both of them have grown taller. The summer college shirts soaked by rain are tightly attached to their slender and powerful muscles. They are thin but not weak.

It has the youthfulness and innocence unique to a teenager, and also subtly reveals the strength and responsibility of an adult man.

It is the best time of the year.

Yan Shiyan is one year younger, but his height is almost the same as Yan Yuanan.

The heavy rain kept flowing down his black hair, making his cold white skin glow with a layer of cool jade-like luster.

Her long and thick eyelashes were soaked in the rain and she could hardly open her eyes.

Running to the corridor, he wiped the rain off his face, and then opened his slender and deep phoenix eyes. His pupils were like bright stars washed by water, clear and lively.

As he shook off the rain, the winding scar on the palm flashed by.

Yan Yuanan arrived at the corridor one step behind him.

The boy ran so fast that his chest heaved and he opened his mouth to breathe slightly, but his face looked very serious.

"Mother, are you going to the sandbar?"

Yan Yuanan didn't care about the rain running down his body and couldn't wait to ask the question in his mind.

Don't blame him for losing his sense of proportion, this is a big deal.

However, the mother kept the secret a secret and did not reveal a single word. She also asked the headmaster to give them more homework so that they had no time to take care of other things.

If the Fourth Prince had not come to the academy to listen to the headmaster's lecture today and mentioned it by chance, there's no telling how long they would have kept it a secret.

Yan Shiyan pursed his lips tightly, staring at Qin Yaoguang without blinking, waiting for her answer.

Qin Yaoguang was stunned and said angrily, "You're already soaked to the skin, and you're still asking this? Hurry up and wipe it off."

The rain was really heavy.

After hearing this shocking news, the two immediately asked for leave from the academy and returned home.

Even though they encountered a heavy rainstorm on the way, they didn't want to delay at all and ran all the way without even bringing their rain gear.

After only standing there for a few breaths, a small puddle of water formed under their feet.

Guyu had already come with a dry towel and now he brought people forward to wipe the two of them.

Unexpectedly, they took a step back tacitly and avoided her hand.

"Mother, you haven't answered my second brother's question yet."

The boy's clear eyes were stubborn; he just wanted an answer.

Qin Yaoguang was helpless: "This is a big deal, it's still uncertain, we need to discuss it carefully before we can decide."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

From what they heard the Fourth Prince, it seemed as if their mother had to go, and they all breathed a sigh of relief only after they heard their mother's answer with their own ears.

Since it has not been decided, there is still room for discussion.

"Wipe it off!"

Qin Yaoguang shook her head and chuckled: "You guys..."

"Isn't mother here fine? Is it worth it for you to come back in such heavy rain and even skip school?"

The two men let the servants wipe the rain dripping from their bodies without saying anything.

But their expressions clearly showed the word "worth it".

"Just wipe it off first. You're soaked. You should change your clothes right away."

There were no clothes that fit the two of them in Huamu Hall, so Qin Yaoguang asked Xuelian to go to the servant's room and get two sets of dry clothes.

In order to avoid suspicion, they went to the side room to change clothes separately before returning to the main room.

The important people in Huamu Hall are all maids, and most of the servants just run errands or do manual labor and are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.

No matter how luxurious the Princess's mansion is, the fabrics of the servants' clothes cannot be that exquisite.

In order to facilitate work, it is a short style.

Two young men with long arms and legs came over in short clothes. Because they didn't fit them well, their wrists and ankles were exposed, which was totally inconsistent with their overall temperament.

It looks like the modern fashionable cropped trousers.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "Who told you to come back in the rain? Now you know how serious it is, don't you? You don't even have a piece of suitable clothing."

Yan Shiyan wiped his wet hair with a towel in one hand, not caring at all: "What's there to be afraid of if it rains? What does it matter if it doesn't fit?"

Having said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

If I go on, I'm afraid I'll have to talk about the days when I was abused and had no food or clothes to eat or wear in the Princess's mansion.

At that time, we didn’t even have enough clothes to keep warm, so how could we even worry about whether the clothes fit us?

Yan Yuanan glanced at him, retracted his gaze, sat down on the chair that Qin Yaoguang had prepared for them, and spoke slowly.

"Mother, Lord Situ is advocating that you go on the mission in the court. If you don't go, it won't be a problem."

What he worried about finally happened.

The Xie family still stands on the opposite side of the mother. There is a natural conflict of interest between the royal family and the Xie family.

He just wanted to convince his mother not to care about these external factors.

Yan Shiyan is not as calm as him.

Thinking of what the Fourth Prince told them, a hint of anger appeared on her jade-colored skin: "Mother, they have their own mouths, so they can say whatever they want."

"All the officials in the imperial court, all of them are nine feet tall men, but they can't send a suitable envoy? It's a joke!"

He spoke very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he had scolded all the men in the court.

"What about the scholars? I think they are all cowards! They are afraid of suffering, fatigue and death and dare not go, but they can push the responsibility onto their mothers."

Hearing him speaking up for her, Qin Yaoguang forced herself not to touch the top of his head.

The child grew up and was a boy, so she could only restrain her inner love.

Really, it’s so lovely.
