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

Chapter 48

The two didn't chat for long before Xie Yanyu, who heard the news, came over.

His usually calm expression was a little cold. He lowered his eyes and looked at his sister for a long time. He didn't ask any more questions, but asked, "Are you going back?"

Xie Wan Ning was already somewhat in awe of this brother, and now seeing his cold expression, she was even more frightened, so of course she chose to follow him back.

Pei Yuqing did not keep anyone and personally escorted the brother and sister to the main entrance. He did not take his eyes off them for a long time until the carriage disappeared from his sight.

Behind him, Princess Duanyang's trusted nanny waited for a while, then stepped forward and urged him quietly, "My Lord, His Highness has been waiting for you for nearly two hours."

Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes to look at her, then turned and went into the mansion.

The flower-viewing banquet was still going on. Princess Duanyang was entertaining guests in the main hall, while the ladies from other branches of the Pei family were sitting beside her.

A maid quickly walked in from outside and whispered something to her. Princess Duanyang's expression changed. She put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and left the table with a smile on her face. As she walked, she whispered, "Go to the front yard and invite the prince consort over."

After waiting for twenty-seven years, her son finally showed signs of enlightenment. Shouldn't she find out more?

None of the three trials were serious.

As Pei Yuqing entered the door, he saw his smiling mother and his father who was pretending to be calm.

He paused slightly and bowed under his parents' burning gazes.

Princess Duanyang pointed to the chair beside her. After her son sat down, she said with joy, "Tell me quickly, what kind of person is the girl from the Xie family? Is she really as your sister said, dignified, virtuous, and gentle?"

"...Not really." Pei Yuqing was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on his sister who was sitting in the corner, and said, "She is playful and smart, and has a bad temper. She is not a dignified and gentle girl."

The eldest princess was slightly stunned, then waved her hand nonchalantly: "That's fine, a girl should still have some temper."

He was so eager to have a daughter-in-law that his eyes were green with envy. Now that there was hope, he thought that even if the girl from the Xie family was a female demon, she would definitely be the best demon.

So what if she had just broken off the engagement? This was the person her son had finally fallen in love with, and she would not allow any mistakes to happen.

Thinking of this, she was even more earnest: "As long as my son likes it."

nice! You love it……

Pei Yuqing turned his face away uncomfortably and said nothing.

Seeing this, the Duke of Pei stroked his beard and said, "You are not young anymore. Now that you have a girl you like, you should marry her as soon as possible. This will also put your mother's worries to rest."

Princess Duanyang glared at him unhappily: "You speak as if it is not your concern."

After being teased by his wife, the Duke of Pei was not annoyed at all. He smiled and said, "It's what we both think."

The couple seemed to have a very good relationship.

In the past, when the Duke of Pei was still the crown prince, he entered the palace as a companion to the current emperor, and grew up with Princess Duanyang as childhood sweethearts. Now, after many years of marriage, they are still as loving as ever.

The eldest princess had suffered physical injuries during the birth of her youngest daughter and could no longer get pregnant. Her eldest son had a heart disease and was not expected to live long. She had decided to ask her husband to take a concubine to continue the family line, but was sternly rejected by the Duke of Pei.

Over the years, Princess Duanyang's marriage has been one of the most successful among the many princesses in the royal family.

When the trend of other princesses becoming addicted to keeping male lovers swept the capital, Princess Duanyang never had the slightest thought about it.

The two of them were loyal to each other and never had two minds.

Over the years, the Pei brothers and sisters have become accustomed to the love and sweetness of their parents.

Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes and said, "I have made you two worry about me for so many years. I am unfilial."

"Why say that? As a parent, who else should you worry about if not your children? As long as you..."

At this point, Princess Duanyang was stunned when she saw her son's expression. She unconsciously put away her smile and frowned, saying, "You still don't want to marry?" Duke Pei's expression was not good either. He said in a deep voice, "Do you mind that the girl is entangled with the young master of the Lu family?"

Pei Yuqing didn't say anything, so Princess Duanyang comforted her, "What's the big deal? Hasn't the engagement been cancelled? I heard that it was the girl who took the initiative to cancel it, which shows that she has broken up with Mr. Lu. Why should my son care?"

"...That's not the case," Pei Yuqing said helplessly, "I have already made up my mind that I will never marry or have children in this life."

His tone was gentle, but firm.

The moment the words fell, the room was silent.

Even Pei Yuxuan, who had been hiding in the corner without saying a word, turned her head and glared at her brother. She didn't expect that he would have such thoughts.

Even Xie Wan Ning couldn't make him change his decision?
But her brother obviously liked that girl very much.

All her hopes were dashed in an instant. Princess Duanyang's expression became stiff and she remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Pei Guo finally spoke up. He looked at his eldest son and asked, "Do you dislike the girl from the Xie family? Or are you afraid that you will not be able to keep up with your health, so you go first and leave your beloved to suffer?"

Pei Yuqing didn't say anything.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it," Duke Pei said quietly, "Anyway, your cousins ​​all have children. If it doesn't work out, you can adopt one to be your child, otherwise our lineage will be cut off after a hundred years."

"Your mother and I have already reached the age where we have many children and grandchildren, but we still have no children..."

As he said this, he let out a long sigh, full of bitterness.

Even though he knew that this was a self-torture trick by his parents, Pei Yuqing still felt a little bit reluctant and did not speak for a long time.

When Princess Duanyang saw this, she knew that he had made up his mind and would not change it. Her joy suddenly faded and she became completely listless.

Her eldest son has made his own decisions since he was old enough to understand, and rarely causes her any worries.

But being too sensible doesn’t seem to be a good thing either.

…………

On the carriage back home, Xie Wan Ning kept her head down and refused to raise it.

Xie Yanyu on the other side moved his fingertips, and his hand holding the beads slowly tightened, and he asked in a low voice: "What did he do?"

The onlookers arrived late and did not witness Lu Ziyan's frivolous behavior, which was a blessing in disguise.

Since it was her own family member, Xie Wan Ning had no intention of hiding it, so she suppressed her uneasiness and looked up, pointing to her still swollen lips, and said, "He took me to the rockery cave to flirt with me."

Her voice was very soft, but it sounded like a roar in Xie Yanyu's ears. She exerted force with her fingertips and crushed the jade bead that happened to be turning over.

Seeing this, Xie Wan Ning hurriedly comforted him, "He also suffered a loss. I bit him."

She bit him so hard that he drew blood immediately. He probably wouldn't be able to enjoy his meals for several days.

She knew how to comfort herself. Xie Yanyu said "oh", raised his eyes with a chill, and asked: "Where did you bite him?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning choked, and lowered her head again after raising it. She said in annoyance, "Brother, don't ask anymore."

Xie Yanyu was able to see everything from her reaction. His handsome face, which had always been calm and stern, suddenly became cold and stern, "Lu Ziyan!"
