"Ah." Lin Jiaojiao waved her hand and said politely, "Prince An, you are selling yourself short. You possess exceptional abilities and profound knowledge, a truly rare gem in the Great Nan."
"I am not worthy." Yan Xuan replied hastily. When praised by the Regent King's Consort, he couldn't help but feel that something was amiss.
"However..."
Lin Jiaojiao's sudden change in tone caused Yan Xuan's expression to change, and he sat up a bit straighter.
His gaze rested lightly on the Regent King's Consort's face, as if trying to discern whether she was a stone or soft cotton. The answer would be revealed at this very moment.
"Your Highness, settling down and establishing a foundation has always been the most significant event in a man's life. You are no longer young and it is time to consider your own future."
This statement came so abruptly that Yan Xuan almost couldn't react in time.
