The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 119

The fact that her family had many descendants made Zhao proud. Even in front of the princess and her sisters-in-law, she had to stand up straighter.

After hearing her words, Xie Wan Ning understood instantly.

Zhao must have noticed something and knew that she had not yet consummated her marriage.

Although no one knew what she was thinking, one could guess a little from the way she couldn't wait to ask indirect questions.

Fortunately, Xie Wan Ning was quite confident, and she didn't feel guilty after hearing this. She said casually, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie, but matters of offspring are destined by God. Just let nature take its course. There is no rush."

The smile on Zhao's face remained unchanged, but her hands were shaking slightly with excitement.

No matter what she says, just treat her as if she is just being stubborn.

They have been married for more than three months, and the couple seems to have a good relationship, but her niece-in-law is still a virgin...

There was no thought of extinguishing it in Zhao's mind, and it came back almost instantly, the flame of hope burning stronger and stronger, almost bursting out of her eyes.

Having dealt with this sister-in-law for decades, Princess Duanyang could tell what she was thinking with just a glance. She smiled faintly and just thought it was amusement for herself.

She had already made up her mind that even if she had no chance to hold her own grandson in this lifetime, the title of Duke's Mansion would not be inherited by the eldest branch of the family who was looking forward to her son's death.

During the banquet, the adults were toasting and chatting animatedly, but the girls, led by Princess Pingning, could not sit still and happily ran out with their cousins ​​to play games.

Princess Duanyang looked at her daughter's cheerful appearance and said to her daughter-in-law with a smile: "You can go and play with them too. You don't need to stay here with them."

Xie Wan Ning readily stood up and said goodbye.

She did feel a little uncomfortable sitting among so many ladies.

Outside the courtyard.

There are quite a few descendants from my uncles' families, and they all share the same roots. It's rare for them to get together, so it's already very lively now.

The girls formed a game of tossing pots, but Xie Wan Ning, claiming she was already married and an adult, had no intention of joining in. She just leaned on the railing and quietly watched these energetic girls, a smile appearing on her face unconsciously.

A figure suddenly appeared beside her. Xie Wan Ning turned her head and took a look. A 28-year-old, beautiful girl was looking at her with a smile.

"Aunt, don't you want to go and play?"

She is Pei Lin, the eldest granddaughter of the Pei family.

Even though she had been married for three months, Xie Wan Ning still wasn't used to being called aunt by her peers.

She didn't show it on her face, just nodded calmly and said very dignifiedly: "This is something you children play with."

After saying this, she was too lazy to look at the other person's expression, but at this moment, a man's laughter came from behind her.

Xie Wan Ning and Pei Lin turned around together.

She saw several young men who were visiting the garden had arrived at the back at some point, only a long corridor away from here. The laughing man in the lead had handsome eyebrows and eyes, and was of good manners. When he saw her looking at him, his expression froze slightly, and then his smile became even more intense.

Xie Wan Ning frowned slightly. She didn't remember the nephews and nieces of the Pei family very clearly, but she still recognized the second prince of the current dynasty.

But, what is the Second Prince doing at the Pei family’s dinner today?

Come to meet his aunt?

As he thought about it, his body reacted quickly and he bowed and said, "Meet the Second Prince."

"No need to be so polite." The second prince paused and said with a smile: "...cousin-in-law." "..."

Xie Wan Ning's face looked a little unhappy. The title of cousin's wife was indeed correct, but when called by this romantic and dissolute prince, she always felt that it was a bit playful.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant. Pei Lin looked in another direction and said, "Second Uncle and the others are here."

Second uncle...

Xie Wan Ning turned her head and raised her eyes, and what she saw was the tall and graceful man, as handsome as the breeze and the bright moon.

She was stunned for a few moments, then her eyes lit up and an undisguised smile bloomed on her lips.

The wind blew her dress, and the slender sash around her waist also swayed in the wind. The girl with a stunning appearance tilted her head and smiled at the visitor, completely unaware of how beautiful she was and how tempting it was to commit a crime.

Pei Yuqing's breathing stopped for a moment. When he came closer, he held her hand. When their fingers touched, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you bring out a heater?"

Xie Wan Ning put her hand into his palm, tilted her head and smiled at him: "I'm not cold."

Compared with her previous coldness, she now looked so delicate and pretty that even Pei Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

The smile on the Second Prince's face froze completely. He paused for a few breaths before slowly smiling, "It turns out that newlyweds have a good relationship. Look at my cousin, he is really a different person now."

Before, Pei Yuqing, let alone holding a girl's hand and smiling like a spring breeze, was so indifferent that he didn't even like to look at people.

Regardless of men and women.

And because of his health, he seldom even attends banquets. He lives in seclusion and is very mysterious.

Pei Yuqing was teased, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He just lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him, with tenderness between his eyebrows.

Being looked at like this, Xie Wan Ning couldn't help feeling a little sweet, as if there was a hot spring in her heart, bubbling with sweet bubbles.

The second prince did not stay long. After a few words, he went to the flower hall to pay his respects to Princess Duanyang and soon said goodbye and left.

The family dinner was coming to an end. Xie Wan Ning took care of everything and followed Pei Yuqing back to Xuanhua Courtyard.

The weather was cold, but Xie Wan Ning was in the mood to enjoy the scenery. She did not take a sedan chair, but took her husband for a walk and took the opportunity to see the scenery in the garden.

On the way, she asked curiously, "Why is the Second Prince here?"

Pei Yuqing did not hide anything from her and answered directly, "Maybe he knew that the Sky Guard was in my hands, and he couldn't help but want to find out the truth."

Institutions like the Qingtianwei have been the eyes and ears of the Khan since their establishment, and all of their successive leaders have been powerful officials with great reputations in the court and the country.

Over the years, the name of the Qingtian Guard has gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, and many officials have tacitly accepted that the Qingtian Guard has fallen into decline and become the emperor's abandoned son, and it would be difficult for it to regain its former glory.

The Second Prince got the news from somewhere that the Sky Guard was in Pei Yuqing's hands, and it was normal that he couldn't help but come to test it out out of shock and doubt.

Xie Wan Ning thought so and stopped talking.

The two walked hand in hand for a while, until they could see the gate of Xuanhua Courtyard in the distance, Pei Yuqing said softly: "In the future, remember to stay away from the Second Prince."

"What do you mean?" Xie Wan Ning was stunned and said, "I'm not familiar with him anyway."

She thought he was jealous again, but he said, "The Second Prince is reckless and has poor personal ethics."

Xie Wan Ning agreed very much: "The Second Prince is a playboy. There are many beautiful women in his house. I have heard about this in my boudoir."

"Not only that, he has a little-known habit," Pei Yuqing stopped, pulled her shoulder, and said with some difficulty: "His prince's mansion is often visited by married women... and several unmarried noble ladies."
