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

Chapter 64

Pei Yuqing smiled at the little girl's sad look.

He gently held her hand on the small table and said softly, "How to get your father to agree to marry his daughter to me is my business. Don't worry about it."

She said this as if she hated getting married.

Xie Wan Ning was a little embarrassed. She raised her eyes and glared at him. She snorted, "Then everything is up to you."

"Okay," Pei Yuqing nodded with a smile, "Leave everything to me. All you have to do is not regret it."

As long as the girl doesn't regret it, no one can stop him from marrying her.

The man who seemed reluctant to talk about getting married last night, now cared more about their marriage than anyone else, making Xie Wan Ning unable to help but tease him: "Have you changed your personality, or are you not pretending anymore?"

"..." Pei Yuqing smiled slightly and said helplessly: "Just think of me as not pretending."

He admitted it quite frankly, and Xie Wan Ning didn't know what to say.

She lowered her eyes to look at her hand that was held, and did not ask him to let go. The two of them sat facing each other with their hands clasped.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Xuanping Marquis's residence. Xie Wan Ning wanted to get off the carriage, but she pulled her hand and said with a smile, "It's time to let go. I've held your hand for most of the hour. Isn't that enough?"

Pei Yuqing was a little embarrassed by her teasing, but he didn't loosen his hand. Instead, he squeezed her palm and said, "Wait for me. I'll come over soon to visit your parents."

Xie Wan Ning said: "My father may not be at home today."

Pei Yuqing let go of his hand and smiled gently: "He will be there."

"..."

She shouldn't have said that. Even if her father wasn't at home, it would be easy to find him with this man's intelligence network.

She glanced at the young man who was leaning against the wall of the carriage with a smile on his face, and got out of the carriage on her own.

…………

Splendid Hall.

Zheng was talking to her sister-in-law Liu in the room. When Xie Wan Ning came in, she was startled at first, then looked surprised.

She quickly stood up and held her daughter's shoulders, looking her up and down, and asked, "But what happened?"

My daughter, who had just left home yesterday to live in another courtyard, appeared in front of me early this morning.

Even Aunt Liu looked a little impatient: "Why is Wanwan back? Where's Ru'er?"

"Don't worry, nothing happened. Ru Niang is still in the other courtyard. I will go there to accompany her this afternoon." Xie Wanning bowed and said slowly, "I came back to Beijing temporarily because I have some things to deal with."

There are some things to take care of...

Zheng frowned slightly. What could an unmarried girl, who was neither the mistress of the house nor had any arranged marriage, need to embroider her wedding dress?

Liu thought that the mother and daughter had something to talk about in private, so she tactfully said that she had something to do in her room and left first.

As soon as her aunt left, Xie Wan Ning sat down next to her mother, yawned a little sleepily, and said, "Don't ask me yet, mother. You'll know what it is later. I didn't sleep well last night. Let me rest for a while."

Seeing that her daughter looked normal and didn't seem to have any serious problems, she wanted to keep it a secret. Zheng didn't ask any more questions, but just tapped her forehead unhappily and said, "If you want to rest, go to your room. Your old bones won't stand your leaning."

Xie Wan Ning was already such a grown-up girl, she felt embarrassed to sleep in her parents' bed, so she stood up immediately upon hearing this, ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, and returned to her own yard.

Zheng looked at her daughter's brisk back, smiled and shook her head, and said to her confidant mother beside her: "I want to see what could be worth this enemy coming back all the way."

While massaging her master's shoulders, Mother Li guessed, "Maybe she saw something new on the farm and brought it back specially to honor you." Their girl came back first in a simple carriage, and the carriage carrying things was still on the road behind.

Zheng thought about it and felt that this was probably the case. After all, her darling little girl had always been very considerate.

She felt relieved and a sense of anticipation rose in her heart.

After waiting for a while, the "thing" her daughter mentioned did not happen, but her husband came back from work.

She glanced at the sky and said in surprise, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back for lunch?"

Besides, the sun is only halfway up in the sky now, and it doesn't look like it's time to set.

The weather was so hot that Xie Shu decided not to go home for lunch half a month ago.

He would either dine with his colleagues at a restaurant near the government office, or have servants at home deliver meals to him on time.

Hearing his wife's question, Xie Shu, who was washing his hands and face, smiled and explained, "I received a visiting card at the last minute. A guest will come to visit."

…………

Peiguogong Mansion, main courtyard.

"I didn't hear it wrong..." Princess Duanyang was stunned for a few moments, and suddenly she held the hand of her trusted nanny tightly and asked anxiously, "Has Changqing really decided to get married?"

"Your Highness did not hear wrong!"

Nanny Zhou was also excited: "Our prince really said so. He wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Marquis Xuanping Mansion."

"The eldest daughter of the Marquis Xuanping's mansion..." Princess Duanyang repeated, her eyes brightening, "Quick, open my private storehouse and prepare some generous gifts for my husband's return..."

The master and servant were overjoyed, and Princess Duanyang lost all her usual calm and dignified demeanor as she gave a series of orders to the servants around her.

Seeing her mother in this state, Pei Yuqing sighed softly, reached out to pour her tea, and said softly: "I am very happy and sad. Please take care of your health, mother."

The eldest princess suddenly came to her senses and realized that her son was still there.

She looked at her handsome and elegant son, with an unstoppable smile on her face, "Why is it so sudden? When I asked you a few days ago, you didn't..."

Then, she smiled and shook her head: "Forget it, it's good that you've figured it out now. After all, there's no man who doesn't get married. Besides, your heart disease hasn't recurred for many years, so how can it affect getting married?"

Not to mention people far away, in the capital alone there are several young men from aristocratic families who always have medicine bottles in their hands, but they still marry wives and concubines and have children.

Although her eldest daughter Chang Qing had a heart disease, she was not so weak that she had to take medicine all the time. She was also very beautiful. In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, even if she wanted to marry the princess of her royal brother, she would have no problem doing so.

But he always found reasons to refuse to get married. Such a handsome man had delayed getting married until he was 27, and his youth was almost gone.

...The eldest daughter of the Xie family seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. I wonder if she will think that her eldest daughter, Qing, is too old.

In just a few words, Princess Duanyang's motherly thoughts had already jumped to the matter of proposing marriage.

Just when he was wondering if he was being too hasty and whether he should let someone familiar with both families to let them know first, he heard the voice of his eldest son, who was always gentle.

Pei Yuqing said, "Later, I will go to the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion to visit Lord Xie and his wife, and ask him to marry his daughter to me."

"……" She had never expected that her son, who had always sternly refused to get married, would be so impatient once he gave in. Princess Duanyang was stunned for a moment, but she actually hoped for the best.

only……

She hesitated and said, "Isn't it too hasty to visit rashly?"
