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

Chapter 65

How can one go straight to a girl's door and ask to marry her? Isn't that too hasty and rude?

When a noble family is discussing marriage, in order to show their respect, they must at least invite the wives of both families who are familiar with each other to come to the house to test the waters first. After both parties have tacitly agreed and are ready, they will then invite the official media to formally mention the marriage. Finally...

Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I am not young anymore, and I have loved Wanwan for a long time. I don't want to waste any more time."

These words touched Princess Duanyang's heart.

You also know that you are not young anymore!
Now he admitted it readily. He had been fond of Miss Xie for a long time, but he was stubborn and refused to get married last time.

...I don’t know what happened to make him change his mind.

Princess Duanyang wanted to scold her son a few more times, but seeing that he had his eyes downcast and was too shy to express his feelings, she could not bear to refuse.

She asked, "Can you call your father back so that we can go with you?"

Pei Yuqing said: "No need."

He was going to propose to the girl, and it would be too formal if his parents went with him.

Considering the mother's identity, it seems like forced marriage.

Princess Duanyang also understood this. She thought for a moment and said, "In that case, you can go. If Xie Shu disagrees, I will go to the palace and ask your uncle to grant you a marriage."

Her son finally agreed to marry her. Let alone the daughter of a marquis, even if she was a princess in the palace, as a mother, she had to make her son's wish come true.

Pei Yuqing thought for a few breaths and said, "There is no rush for this matter."

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to issue an imperial decree to force a marriage.

Even if you want to do this, you have to discuss it with the girl in advance.

…………

Xie Shu knew that the prince of the Duke of Pei had a close personal relationship with his eldest son, so he was quite surprised when he received the visiting card from the other party.

If the post had not clearly stated both his name and his wife's name, Xie Shu would have thought it was for his eldest son.

He and Master Pei are a generation apart, and they have only met twice. They are not very familiar with each other, so there is no question of personal friendship. The other party has not entered the officialdom, so it is even less likely that this is official business.

But someone made a special trip to visit the couple.

What can happen?

Xie Shu recalled the days before...

After hearing the whole story, and considering the mysterious words her daughter said when she came back early in the morning, there was nothing Zheng didn't know.

Hearing this, he said unhappily, "He is an unmarried man who has solemnly sent a visiting card to ask to see you and me. What else could it be for?"

Perhaps men are naturally slow to understand such things, and Xie Shu didn't think about it at all. It was only after his wife's reminder that he suddenly realized it.

I suddenly felt enlightened.

He was stunned for a while, and said with an unpleasant expression: "He is more than ten years older than us, Wanwan, right?"

"Not quite ten years old," Zheng's expression was also somewhat complicated, "exactly eleven years old."

She got married at the age of sixteen, gave birth to her eldest son at the age of eighteen, and took care of herself for several years before giving birth to her youngest daughter at the age of twenty-two. She is thirty-eight years old this year.

...In other words, if this marriage goes through, her future son-in-law will be exactly eleven years younger than her.

This difference is indeed quite big.

"No! Absolutely not!" Xie Shu waved his hands repeatedly, dissatisfied: "If he were two or three years older, he would be able to give birth to Wanwan. How dare he have such thoughts!"

Nowadays, many noble young men are well-versed in human affairs at the age of thirteen or fourteen, so what Xie Shu said makes sense.

Zheng was a little hesitant. "Don't they say that older people know how to be caring? Besides, I saw him last time and he looked less than 20 years old, so I believed him. He is very handsome and has a gentle and polite personality. Judging from his looks, he is a good match for our Wanwan."

No matter how naughty your own child is, he is still a good child. Pei Yuqing's pure and ethereal appearance and her magnificent demeanor made Zheng say that she was "worthy of him".

Xie Shu actually agreed with his wife's words. He had also met Pei Yuqing several times and had sighed that Pei Yuqing was indeed a child raised by the eldest princess of the royal family. He was noble and gentle, and did not look like an ordinary person.

The couple were talking and discussing how to deal with people.

Before noon, a servant came to report.

The prince of Peiguo Mansion has arrived.

…………

Pei Yuqing was welcomed into the reception room by the servants of the Xie Mansion.

This was the hall where Xie Wan Ning and Lu Ziyan were alone some time ago.

Coincidentally, he also knew about this.

As soon as he entered the room, Pei Yuqing observed the layout of the meeting hall and unconsciously began to wonder what the girl had said to Lu Ziyan here, and why their engagement was called off the next day.

They stayed here for a full hour, with the door tightly closed...

Pei Yuqing suddenly came back to his senses, pinched his eyebrows and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sure enough, human greed will be infinitely magnified.

At first, I just wanted to watch her from afar, as long as she was happy.

Later, he met the girl by chance for the first time. After just a few words, he couldn't help himself and couldn't control the desire to get close to her.

He deliberately leaked the news that Lu Ziyan had a mistress to her ears. Was it really just to let her know and not be kept in the dark?

Later, the concubine got pregnant, and he knew it clearly...

But he had no intention of explaining for Lu Ziyan.

He is not a saint yet, so it is impossible for him to be without any selfish desires.

He did it on purpose, every step was intentional.

But so what? Lu Ziyan brought this upon himself, no one forced him to do that.

Pei Yuqing closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly curved up. Now they were going to discuss the marriage.

He can't be jealous. The past is the past, and he is the only one left in his life.

When Xie Shu and Zheng walked in, they saw a young man as pure as jade sitting on a chair. They were both stunned for a moment.

Their eldest son was born with a good appearance, and was considered the most outstanding young man among the noble families in the capital, but the one in front of him...

Pei Yuqing opened his eyes when he heard the noise, and when he saw the person coming, he quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Changqing greets Lord Xie and Madam Xie."

"Prince Pei, you are so polite." Xie Shuxu gave him a hand and said a few polite words with a smile.

After everyone was seated, he asked the servants to serve tea.

After taking a sip of warm tea, he finally calmed down and said to Xie Shu, "I wonder why Master Pei came to visit today?"

It's just speculation, but we still have to ask.

Pei Yuqing, who had just sat down, stood up again and bowed, saying bluntly: "I have been attracted to your eldest daughter for a long time. This time, I came here to ask for your hand in marriage. If I can get what I want, I will cherish her and treat her like a treasure. From now on, I will not let her suffer any grievances. Please grant my wish, my Lord and Madam."

Xie Shu was still holding the teacup in his hand. The moment he finished speaking, he almost spilled the tea in his hand. He carefully put down the jade cup and said with a grim expression, "My eldest daughter is sixteen years old this year. I wonder how old Master Pei is this year?"

The future father-in-law asked very impolitely. Pei Yuqing looked a little embarrassed and said, "Twenty-seven."
