Xiao Hongshen watched as Cong Huan covered her face and walked out, when suddenly a servant ran over to report, "Crown Prince, the Second Master of the Yan Family is waiting outside, shall we let him in?"
Yan An had also come to speak to Xiao Hongshen about the Emperor's arranged marriage.
Xiao Hongshen's face was filled with impatience, and Yan An was indeed a fool, good for nothing but spoiling everything.
Thus, he simply waved his hand: "Do not let him in."
Yan An, left waiting on one side and shivering in the cold wind, finally saw the person who had gone in to report emerging.
"Has Prince Seven returned? I have important matters to report."
The servant, with a cold expression, replied, "The Crown Prince has not returned from his outing yet, Lord. It would be best for you to come back another day." Then he promptly had someone escort Yan An out.
