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

Chapter 28

The girl's clear voice was like jade beads falling to the ground, ringing in my ears.

Pei Yuqing was completely stunned after hearing this and didn't say anything for a long time.

Xie Wan Ning smiled and said, "Is it so difficult to answer?"

"It's not difficult," Pei Yuqing lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "You misunderstood. I am much older than you. In my eyes, you are the same as Xuan'er. I have no other thoughts."

Xie Wan Ning paused for a moment, then said "oh" and said slowly: "What you mean is that you treat me as your sister?"

Pei Yuqing nodded: "I have a good relationship with your brother. Since I have been invited to meet you today, it is my duty to protect you."

"I don't believe it." Xie Wan's eyes faded a little, but he still refused to look away, and said word by word: "Pei Yuqing, Lu Ziyan said that you are old and in poor health, so you are too inferior to admit your feelings, right?"

She was so aggressive that the person opposite her lashes trembled.

He sat in an elegant posture, wearing a moon-colored long robe with wide sleeves, and a jade crown to hold his hair. His trembling eyelashes slowly raised and looked over. The two of them looked at each other, and then their eyes dropped again.

The cold and noble aura around him gradually disappeared, and his voice was a little embarrassed: "Is this important?"

Xie Wan Ning watched with her own eyes as his fair earlobe slowly turned red, and for some reason her heart suddenly calmed down, and the corners of her lips rose again.

"It's very important. Your feelings determine whether I will go to Yuxuan Teahouse to ask you for the recipe for nourishing the spirit." She smiled and said, "But you don't have to answer now."

He was so shy at his age, so how could she bear to force him to give a definite answer.

But she stopped asking, and Pei Yuqing was stunned for a long time, then he said in a hoarse voice: "Then will you come?"

Xie Wan Ning said: "Come on, I'll be there anytime, are you there?"

She answered very straightforwardly. Pei Yuqing's suddenly tightened heart gradually relaxed because of her words. His face softened and he smiled and said, "Yes."

His brows were clear and his smile was gentle and pure, making his temperament even more extraordinary in the sunlight.

Xie Wan Ning watched without blinking, and then she thought of something. She reached out and touched his fingers: "Don't take Lu Ziyan's words to heart. You are not old, and your body looks fine. You must live a long, long time and make him angry to death."

Pei Yuqing was stunned at first, then smiled and shook his head, indicating that he would not take it to heart.

He never moved his hand away, allowing their fingertips to touch, but his face remained calm and unhurried.

Xie Wan Ning felt a little warm in her heart, but she couldn't tell what she felt.

But she clearly regarded him as a brother or a friend, so why did she want to hold his hand and make him blush at this moment?

In the end, her modesty prevailed and she did not continue. Instead, she slowly withdrew her hand, took out a sachet from her waist and handed it over.

"Here, the return gift you've been dreaming of, this is the sachet I embroidered myself, stuffed with some mosquito repellent herbs. I've worn it for a few days, you don't mind, do you?"

She is not actually very good at needlework. She cannot embroider large items well, so she can only embroider small items like purses and sachets.

Over the years, she would give Lu Ziyan a sachet that she had sewn herself on every birthday.

At first, it was embroidered with various flowers, but he refused to wear it because he thought it was not manly enough.

Later she learned to embroider more complex animals, including wolves, leopards, and cranes.

This sachet is worn by her herself. There is a lotus flower embroidered with pink and green lines on it. It looks lifelike and very pretty.

Pei Yuqing clenched the sachet in her hand, and felt the fragrance of her body coming to her, without any trace of the feminine scent of lotus. She pulled off the jade pendant from her waist and put the sachet on.

Xie Wan Ning watched his movements quietly, her heart moving slightly.

A sharp thought just popped up, and she couldn't suppress it anymore. "Hey," she held her chin and smiled at him, and asked lazily, "Will you marry me?"

"What?" Pei Yuqing stopped and looked up: "What did you say?"

"I say," Xie Wan Ning leaned closer, stared at his handsome face, and said word by word: "Pei Yuqing, do you want to marry me?"

There was silence in the secluded pavilion for a long time.

The sun had already risen to mid-sky, it was somewhat scorching, even the wind was dry, and a trace of sweat slowly appeared on the nose of the cool-dressed man.

She waited at her leisure, but heard him speak slowly, his tone was difficult: "Wanwan, even if you are worried that Lu Ziyan will not let go and cling to you, don't take your lifelong event as a joke."

The smile on Xie Wan Ning's face froze for a moment. She felt angry at having her thoughts seen through, and also inexplicably embarrassed.

This was indeed her idea. Lu Ziyan's behavior just now showed that he was not willing to give up easily.

Their family has made great contributions, and if the matter comes to the Golden Palace, the current emperor will probably stand on his side.

Once the emperor spoke, she would have no choice but to ride in the bridal sedan and marry into the Lu family.

She wanted to end this marriage cleanly and stop Lu Ziyan from pestering her any further. The only solution she could think of at the moment was to find someone else to marry.

This person needs to be of noble status, at least able to suppress Lu Ziyan's arrogance so that the emperor will not be biased towards him.

You also have to be a nice person with good conduct so that she can trust you.

When time passes and Lu Ziyan gives up and marries another noblewoman, she will ask for a divorce and he will release her readily.

Anyway, influenced by the dream, she had never thought about getting married again. She originally planned to be a girl at home for the rest of her life. Since Lu Ziyan insisted on getting entangled with her, she didn't feel embarrassed to get rid of him through marriage.

As for whether to divorce peacefully or not, given the prevailing trend of divorce in the capital, it would not make any impact on her or the Xie family.

And Pei Yuqing is the best candidate.

He is the emperor's own nephew. He has been weak since childhood and has not yet married at the age of 27. Princess Duanyang has been worried about his marriage and her hair has turned white. Given the sisterly relationship between the princess and His Majesty, as long as Pei Yuqing asks for marriage, even if His Majesty's prince likes him, he will probably have to give him up.

Who is Lu Ziyan?
Everything she planned was good, even the fact that Pei Yuqing liked her was something she had calculated correctly.

But when he broke through this layer of paper, I still felt very uncomfortable.

After all, she did have the intention to take advantage of me.

Taking advantage of other people's feelings for her.

She didn't like him and never thought about being with him for a long time, but she wanted him to marry her at the risk of offending Lu Ziyan.

After two years, Lu Ziyan gave up, and she packed up her things and went back to her own life, leaving him alone...

Xie Wan Ning even thought that she was quite hateful.

Unable to hold back his expression any longer, he hurriedly stood up and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Having said that, she was in a hurry to leave.

When I passed by him, he called me gently.

"Wanwan." Pei Yuqing did not raise his eyes, but lowered his eyelashes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "You don't have to do this. You are my sister. As long as you don't want to, Lu Ziyan can't marry you."
