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

Chapter 33

Lu Ziyan is not a fool. No matter how much he dotes on Liu Manrou, he will not let her cause trouble under his nose again and again.

There can't be two if there is one, and what's more, this matter is actually a bit confusing when you think about it carefully.

Although Lu Ziyan was a popular figure in front of the palace, his romantic affairs were not worth spreading throughout the capital.

The news of a concubine's pregnancy could spread throughout the capital overnight. Xie Wan Ning didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes.

But his political opponents would not make a big deal out of such an insignificant matter. But who else could it be except his political enemies?

After a brief thought, a handsome face suddenly flashed through Xie Wan Ning's mind. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was very possible.

On the day of her grandmother's birthday party, she had promised to go to the teahouse to look for him, but these days, it was either raining or she was invited by her good friends to go out and play, so she never thought of looking for him.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning, who had not planned to go out today, inexplicably became restless.

She looked up at the sky and ordered, "Prepare the car. I want to go out."

…………

It was lunchtime and the restaurants were packed with people, and Yuxuan Teahouse was no exception.

As a famous teahouse in the capital, its facade is decorated in a very simple and elegant style. It has a yellow pear wood plaque with four large Chinese characters written in a flamboyant style, and it is obvious that it was created by a famous artist.

There is a square stage on the first floor, which is usually the territory of storytellers, and occasionally singing girls also perform on the stage.

As soon as Xie Wan Ning entered the door, an old shopkeeper came up to greet her and asked respectfully, "Miss, are you here to look for someone?"

Xie Wan Ning was a little surprised: "You recognize me?"

After all, she was here to meet a man from another family, so she specially chose a carriage that was not engraved with the Xie family emblem when she left the house today, and she also wore a veil when she got off the car.

The old shopkeeper smiled slightly: "The master specially sent someone to remind you."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and led the way, "Please come this way."

It was still the same private room as last time. Two guards were standing outside the door. When they saw her coming up, they bowed and opened the door.

When Xie Wan Ning walked in, she saw the man in a moon-white robe with wide sleeves, standing by the window, holding a jade cup in his hand. His elegant demeanor made her a little dazed.

The sound of the door closing came from behind him. Xie Wan Ning came back to her senses, lifted the veil with one hand, and asked, "You saw it as soon as I got out of the car?"

From the perspective he was standing at, he could have a panoramic view of the entire Suzaku Street.

Pei Yuqing hummed softly, turned around and looked at her, and said, "Is it time to eat?"

"No, I came here specially for you," Xie Wan Ning took a seat without any hesitation, tapped the table with her fingertips, and began to order dishes: "The honey-glazed roast goose last time was good, and I'd like one serving of sweet soup too..."

After ordering a lot of food in a row, she tilted her head and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Pei Yuqing's lips curled slightly and his eyes fell on her.

The little girl was wearing a light yellow gauze skirt today, with a simple jade hairpin in her hair. She was dressed very plainly, without even a single piece of jewelry on her wrists.

——Very low-key.

He was slightly stunned. Xie Wan Ning tapped the table with her fingertips a little harder and raised her eyebrows slightly: "I asked you if you had your meal. What are you thinking about?"

She smiled mischievously, and Pei Yuqing turned his eyes away suddenly and said, "Not yet."

As he spoke, he called someone in and ordered the food to be served.

Less than a cup of tea later, there was another knock on the door of the private room. The shopkeeper personally brought the dishes and the group retreated again.

They were the only ones left in the room.

Xie Wan Ning held up her chin and smiled at him: "Are you going to stand here and eat the whole time?"

It's really strange. It was clearly him who asked her to come, and it seems that he is waiting here every day. Now that she is finally here, he looks so embarrassed that he doesn't know what to do.

Compared to her calmness, he looked more like a girl who was alone with a man from another family. Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning smiled even more deeply. After watching him sit down, her eyes fell on his face even more unscrupulously, and she asked with a smile: "Didn't you just look at me without blinking? Why are you embarrassed now?"

Pei Yuqing paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked up at her and said calmly, "Wanwan, don't tease me all the time."

Xie Wan Ning followed suit, sat up straight, and asked him seriously, "Are you here every day?"

Pei Yuqing nodded, poured her a cup of tea, and explained, "It's quiet here."

Xie Wan Ning let out a long "Oh", looked at the pedestrians and vendors passing by below, and couldn't help but agree with a smile: "It is indeed quiet."

Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing how embarrassed he was, Xie Wan Ning couldn't ask, "Are you here waiting for me?"

She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

The dishes here are really good and suit her sweet tooth.

This was her first time to dine alone with a man other than Lu Ziyan, and she didn't expect that the meal would be so comfortable.

The leftovers were cleared away and a set of jade tea set was brought in.

Pei Yuqing sat cross-legged at the tea table by the window, washed his hands, burned incense and brewed tea.

The hot steam from the boiling water rose up. Xie Wan Ning sat opposite him, looking at him through the thin mist. She felt that every move he made was full of peace and tranquility.

The gaze stayed on that side for too long, Pei Yuqing raised his eyes somewhat stiffly: "Wanwan."

Xie Wan Ning hummed, then asked with more energy, "What's the matter?"

"Don't look at me like that."

Xie Wan Ning was stunned, then looked at him with a smile, and couldn't help but smirked: "I'm waiting for your tea."

"..." Pei Yuqing was silent for a moment, raised his hand to pour her a cup, and said, "Heat it carefully."

Xie Wan Ning held the jade cup and found his gentle and clean appearance really pleasing to the eye.

Obviously, he has a completely different personality from Lu Ziyan, one is as cold as a sword, and the other is as gentle as a spring breeze.

But she liked them at different times.

Thinking of this, she tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Some time ago, the news that Lu Ziyan had a mistress was making a lot of noise. Was it you who was behind this?"

Pei Yuqing stopped fiddling with the tea set and was speechless for a moment.

Xie Wan Ning was very patient and just waited.

After a long while, he nodded gently: "It's me."

Xie Wan Ning thought to herself, as expected, with a smile on her face: "Today, the news that his mistress is pregnant spread all over the capital. Are you also fanning the flames?"

Having already admitted one, there was no need for a second one. This time, Pei Yuqing responded even faster.

He responded readily, but Xie Wan Ning felt something was wrong.

She gently put down the teacup, her eyes fell on the incense burner beside her, and she remained silent for a long time.

She came here because of her inner speculation.

He answered directly.

At this moment, his intentions were almost clear.

So what now?
What should she do now?
The layer of window paper that he tried so hard to protect was broken by her insistence.

Xie Wan Ning was like a playful child at the moment, feeling a little flustered because she accidentally made a mistake.
