Chapter 253 The Crown Prince
"Uh...hehehe~" Xin Moyan touched her nose and chuckled dryly.
"Yan'er, are you hurt?"
Xuan Yuan was so focused on checking the people around him that he forgot the agreed-upon boundaries and touched their necks, shoulders, arms, and backs.
This intimate gesture left the Kim couple speechless.
"Ouch!" Xin Moyan's face turned red, and she forcefully pushed his hand aside.
"Your Highness, I'm fine, nothing's wrong, please don't..." Before she could finish, she gave Xuan Yuan a warning look.
"Yan'er, I'm just worried about you."
"I'm really fine. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince arrived just in time."
He then looked up at the couple opposite him, but before he could take a good look at them, he heard Jin Fa speak softly.
"Yan'er, you must not call him His Highness the Crown Prince anymore. That's too formal. Just call him brother and sister-in-law!"
The next moment, Xuan Yuan's cold gaze swept over them, his expression stern, his lips pressed into a straight line, "Crown Prince Jin Fa, what is the meaning of this?"
"Your Majesty."
Xin Moyan tugged at his sleeve and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess hit it off with me at first sight, and just now they recognized me as their sworn sister. Please don't overthink it."
"Sister-in-law?"
His sharp gaze fell on Jin Fa's face. After a moment, he looked away and asked in a deep voice, "Crown Prince Jin Fa is not focused on the changes in your country's court and the struggle for the Eastern Palace. Instead, he has recognized Yan'er as his sworn sister. What is the meaning of this move?"
Both of them were taken aback. They had both said that Yuan Qi Xuan Wang was elusive and had been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years, not concerning himself with court affairs. They never expected that he would know so much about Bai Qing's current situation. This Xuan Wang was no ordinary man!
Jin Fa chuckled and explained, "Your Highness, you misunderstand. I simply find Yan'er to be truly adorable and am also thinking of my deceased younger sister. Therefore, I had the idea of recognizing her as my sister, and I have no ulterior motives."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince... what my elder brother said is true, and look, the little princess still calls me aunt, isn't that adorable!"
Xin Moyan blinked, signaling him not to think so badly of people.
"Yan'er~"
Xuan Yuan called out helplessly, but he knew that Jin Fa and his sister had a deep bond. He recalled what Fei E had told him before, and thought that it was probably reasonable for Jin Fa to recognize Yan'er as his sister.
"Yan'er calls him 'Big Brother,' but what about her own brother?"
"Um... I haven't had a chance to tell my brother about this yet. I think... um, brother, you should be able to... agree, right?"
Xin Moyan spoke with great uncertainty. Just last night she said that her brother was her closest relative, and today another pair of brothers and sisters-in-law suddenly appeared. How was she supposed to explain this?
Bai Xinhan stared at her little expression, her eyes full of tenderness and affection. "Hehe~ Yan'er, I think General Xin is a generous person and shouldn't mind these things. Besides, wouldn't it be better to have two more people doting on Yan'er?"
She nodded thoughtfully, "I also hope my brother won't be angry."
After speaking, Jin Fa took out a pendant from his pocket. It was a small and exquisite gold seal.
"Yan'er, Xinhan and I didn't prepare anything. Please take this gold seal as a gift!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. I have plenty of gold, so you don't need to give me any gifts. I was planning to give a gift to the little princess!"
He said with a faint smile, "Yan'er, this golden seal belongs to the Crown Prince's Palace. If you come to Baiqing in the future, you can directly enter the palace to meet the Emperor with this seal."
"Mian Sheng?"
"Ah."
Jin Fa didn't offer much explanation, but his gentle and refined eyes revealed a hint of ambition that was determined to succeed. Xuan Yuan seemed to understand something, lowered his gaze, and said nothing more.
Seeing that the two were so determined, Xin Moyan could no longer refuse. "Alright! Then Yan'er will accept it. If you and your sister-in-law have the chance to come to Yuanqi again in the future, I will definitely show you around."
"Yes, Yan'er..."
Jin Fa raised his eyes and glanced at Xuan Yuan, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Yan'er, I heard that you will be getting married soon. Your brother and sister-in-law will probably be too busy to come here at that time. In a few days, when we return to the country, we will send someone to deliver a generous wedding gift to you."
"Brother and sister-in-law, you don't need to be so polite!" She scratched her head shyly, and when she caught a glimpse of Xuan Yuan still sitting upright, she couldn't help but shake his arm.
"Your Majesty~"
He nodded reluctantly and said softly, "Big brother and sister-in-law."
"Hehe~ Xuan Wang's demeanor is clearly extraordinary. If you marry Yan'er in the future, I hope you will take good care of my younger sister. I will be extremely grateful."
"Of course, you two can rest assured."
Just then, Jin Cijue finished her pudding with gusto, looked up at her with her little face covered in pudding, and called out in her childish voice, "Auntie, it's delicious~ Auntie, wipe your mouth~"
Seeing his childlike appearance, Xin Moyan's eyes lit up. "Okay! Auntie will wipe your mouth for you!"
She took a handkerchief and gently wiped the little girl's mouth, while also introducing Xuan Yuan to Jin Cijue.
"Little darling! Look at this uncle, his name is Xuan..."
She hesitated for a moment, then habitually called him Xuan Yuan. After they got married, wouldn't she have to call him Yuan Huai Xuan?
"Xuanyuan".
Turning around, Xuan Yuan gazed tenderly at the two figures, one large and one small.
With his permission, Xin Moyan excitedly introduced, "Little darling, this uncle is called Xuan Yuan. He'll be your uncle-in-law from now on, okay?"
Her generous admission made someone's heart instantly throb with joy, and his gaze towards her became even more affectionate.
Jin Cijue was also very sensible, and called out to him in a soft, sweet voice, "Uncle~"
Xuan Yuan paused for a moment, looking at the half-grown child in front of him, his thoughts drifting away.
"Xuanyuan, what's wrong?"
Xin Moyan raised her hand and waved it in front of her. What's wrong? Why are you spacing out?
He snapped out of his daze, suddenly wrapped his arms around her soft waist, and coaxed her softly, "Yan'er, let's have a daughter someday, okay?"
"Ah! Xuan Yuan, I beg you, please stop talking."
She covered her burning cheeks with her hands, not daring to lift her head, feeling utterly ashamed.
Bai Xinhan chuckled and said with relief, "Hehe~ Yan'er, seeing how much the Prince of Xuan loves you, His Highness the Crown Prince and I are relieved."
"Hehe~ Sister-in-law Xinhan, I think Brother Crown Prince loves you just as much!"
Bai Xinhan was startled when Jin Fa suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Yan'er, your sister-in-law and I have known each other since childhood and have gone through thick and thin together for many years. Our feelings for each other are beyond words."
She couldn't help but sigh at their perfect match, their love stronger than gold.
Before long, Xin Moling arrived with Shui Yi and came face to face with the family of three, inevitably flying into a rage.
In the end, it took Xin Moyan a long time of coaxing and gentle persuasion for her brother to finally give up. However, after repeated promises from her, he could only call her Crown Prince and was not allowed to use any more intimate terms of address.
With no room for negotiation, Xin Moyan had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Jin Fa's act of recognizing his sister made Xin Moling momentarily forget to criticize his future brother-in-law.
