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

Chapter 85

"Angry?" Xie Wan Ning looked at her hands for a while and said calmly, "I think I should be the one who is angry."

Pei Yuqing didn't say anything for a moment. He found that whatever he said now seemed to be wrong.

The room fell silent, the two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

After a long while, he spoke with difficulty, "I was wrong about this matter."

He shouldn't be so self-righteous as to think that doing so would make Lu Ziyan give up completely, which would be good for all three of them.

Pei Yuqing raised his arm and wanted to hold the hand of the girl beside the couch, but she gently raised her hand to avoid him.

He froze for a moment, then withdrew his hand with a wry smile and said, "I expected a lot, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn."

Given Lu Ziyan's usual external image, who would have thought that he would be so shameless for a girl.

Even after she clearly refused, he still refused to let go.

"Now not only do you know, but everyone in the capital knows everything that should be known," Xie Wan Ning said in a mocking tone, "My ex-fiancé made a scene in the bridal chamber. How can I face your parents and relatives tomorrow?"

When the bride gets married, she will have to offer tea to her parents-in-law tomorrow morning and meet many relatives of the Pei family. What will they think of her?

Their marriage was granted by the emperor, and they had to go to the palace to express their gratitude.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

Where does he put her by doing this?
She trusted him so much, but he totally ignored her feelings. How was that different from stabbing her in the back?
The little girl's eyes were misty, as if she would cry in the next second. Pei Yuqing's heart suddenly tightened, feeling sore and painful. He reached out to hug her in his arms, but as soon as he raised his hand, Xie Wan Ning moved aside.

For the first time, Pei Yuqing understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

He began to regret why he did this.

Tonight should have been their wedding night. If Lu Ziyan hadn't come back, the girl wouldn't have refused to let him hold her...

Thinking of this, he was even more annoyed, but he still patiently comforted her, "Don't worry about that. You are my legitimate wife, no one will say anything to you. As for my parents...

He paused and carefully expressed his feelings: "You are the girl I like. They will only treat you well and will never make things difficult for you."

If it were normal, if he said such words, Xie Wan Ning would be very happy, but at this moment, she just said "oh" lightly.

"Give."

Pei Yuqing was stunned, then moved inside obediently.

Xie Wan Ning lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.

The person who warmed the bed was right beside her. The place where she lay was filled with his body temperature, and every breath she took was filled with his scent...

Apart from those bizarre dreams, this was the first time she shared a bed with a man.

It was not until this moment that Xie Wan Ning truly realized what getting married meant and what decision she had made.

If nothing unexpected happens, from now on she will sleep in the same bed with the man beside her for the rest of her life, surrounded by his scent forever, and they will live and die together.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning felt a little lost.

However, Pei Yuqing's heart was beating wildly. Her beloved girl was lying in the same bed with him so legitimately. She did not regret it in the end. Facing Lu Ziyan's kneeling begging, she still firmly chose him.

He took a deep breath and eventually fell asleep as well.

The two of them lay there quietly for a while, the fragrance of the girl kept rushing into his nostrils. Pei Yuqing swallowed and looked at the girl's face.

The beauty in the tent is as white as jade, with slightly pursed lips. Just half of her profile can make people's heart beat irregularly. There is a hint of red under her eyelids. She is a baby who has been wronged and is waiting to be coaxed.

This is his wife...

This realization made Pei Yuqing's heart feel soft and hot. He just wanted to hold the person in his arms and love him with all his strength.

But I couldn't tell whether the girl was still angry or not, and I didn't dare let her get angry with me again.

In the silence, he couldn't help himself and tentatively reached out to touch her shoulder, but just as he did so, the little girl suddenly turned over to avoid his touch, lying on her side with her back to him.

“…” Pei Yuqing’s gaze fell on her delicate neck, his eyes dark.

This was the third time she rejected his approach tonight, and it was after Lu Ziyan showed up...

The house fell into complete silence.

…………

No matter how long the night is, it will eventually pass. The sky will gradually turn pale and the morning sun will peek out little by little.

Xie Wan Ning opened her eyes and saw a smooth chest.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head and met a handsome face.

Pei Yuqing was still sleeping, her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, her nose was straight, and her chin was faintly blue.

His face, with some stubble, still looked very clean, and he didn't look like a man in his twenties at all.

Xie Wan Ning looked at him for a while, then her gaze slowly slid down to his chest.

...She unbuttoned her clothes last night, but this person didn’t button them up?

She was very angry at the time, and all she could think about was how he made her so angry, so he should have been there for her.

Driven by anger, he actually did something as bad as taking off someone's clothes...

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips, and when she raised her eyes again, she met a pair of deep eyes.

Seeing her looking over, Pei Yuqing's eyes suddenly softened and he smiled, "Did you sleep well?"

The smile was as gentle as before, just as if last night was calm and there was no barrier between them.

But in reality, they didn’t even consummate their marriage.

Xie Wan Ning looked at him steadily, somewhat confused as to why this man could still smile when they had not consummated their marriage.

Doesn't he like her?
He has been single for so many years, and the girl he likes is lying next to him, but he doesn't let her touch him, and he can still laugh?
Xie Wan Ning was not a truly innocent girl. She had seen Lu Ziyan in her dreams...

So, is this man still a normal man?

They slept in the same bed, but didn't consummate the marriage on their wedding night. Shouldn't he be upset?
Why do you still look like nothing happened?
he……

Xie Wanning frowned, his mind full of mixed thoughts, and it was obvious that he was distracted.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yuqing held her shoulders, carefully hugged her into his arms, and whispered, "Good girl, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Xie Wan Ning suddenly came back to her senses and let him hold her, with his hands on his waist. After a few moments of silence, she couldn't help but probe: "You have a heart disease and can't have drastic emotional fluctuations. So, can you not be too tired..."

Pei Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded decisively: "Yes, people with heart disease should not be overworked, and should not be sad or stressed."

With the idea of ​​using a ready-made self-torture tactic as a waste, he held her hand and put it on his chest, saying weakly, "I made you angry last night, and I couldn't sleep well all night. I have to take a heart-nourishing pill later."

"So serious?" Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning didn't care about anything else, and looked annoyed: "It's all my fault. I just wanted to make you angry, and didn't care about your body not being able to get angry."

As she was about to get up to get him some medicine, the hand on her waist held her tightly, not like a weak patient at all. Pei Yuqing kissed her forehead lightly and said pitifully, "Wanwan, can you please forgive me this time for my weakness? I promise I won't dare to do it again."

"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, unable to describe what she felt in her heart.

She kept telling herself that she had chosen this husband herself.

I have already confessed my heart disease, as for...

After a long while, she hummed, "I forgive you."

I heard that the eunuchs in the palace all have some quirks.

It's already not easy for him, she should at least learn to understand him...

The servants outside heard the noise inside and knocked on the door.

Xie Wan Ning responded as if she had been pardoned and asked the person to come in.

Er Qing led the way, and one of the two maids met last time walked with her. Behind them followed Yuanzhu Yuanyue and several little maids, all holding toiletries in their hands.

The old maid stepped forward and saluted: "This old servant pays respects to the Crown Prince's wife."

Xie Wan Ning said “no need to be polite”, and the old nanny smiled and said a few auspicious words, then bowed again and walked towards the couch.

His face was full of smiles, which he couldn't help but change after taking out the Yuanpa on the couch.

Pei Yuqing had already gotten up. He refused the servants' service and dressed himself. When he turned around and saw this scene, he said calmly, "Go and tell mother that we will go over to have breakfast."

"..." Xie Wan Ning, who was originally feeling a little uncomfortable, fell silent.

She began to wonder if her guess was true...

Several maids who came with her as a dowry quickly dressed her up with nimble hands and feet.

Pei Yuqing had no idea what his newlywed wife thought of him. He sat aside and quietly watched the person surrounded by the maids.

It was the second day after her wedding, and the girl was still wearing a bright red peony dress, which showed off her graceful figure, especially her waist which was tied with a colorful ribbon and was so slender that it could be held in one hand.

The man's fingers moved unconsciously. In the charming pictures that kept flashing through his mind, the girl showed a section of her tender waist, which was controlled by his hand. He...

"Pei Changqing!" The little girl's face was right in front of him. "I've called you several times. What are you thinking about?"

Pei Yuqing suddenly came back to his senses and realized what he had been thinking. He clenched his hands tightly, and his nails dug into his palms before he managed to calm down. "Are you done? Let's go."

"..." Xie Wan Ning looked at the man whose ears were emitting heat and shut up in confusion.

…………

When the two of them went out, it was still early, and they wanted to familiarize themselves with the mansion, so they did not take the sedan chair.

It was a bit chilly at the end of September, and Xie Wan tightened his cloak.

The autumn wind blew the yellow leaves off the trees. The two walked side by side without saying a word.

Pei Yuqing's eyes fell on their overlapping shadows, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and hold her.

After passing through the long eaves corridor and two archways with hanging flowers, we finally arrived at Qixiangyuan where Princess Duanyang lived.

There were two little maids standing outside the door. When they saw the two people coming, they bowed and lifted the curtain to welcome them in.

It seemed like the place was already bustling with activity. As Xie Wan Ning was about to step inside, she heard a woman say, "It's already this late, and the two newlyweds haven't arrived yet. This cup of tea for the newlyweds is really a long wait."

Xie Wan Ning was slightly startled, and felt her hand tightened. The man beside her led her inside.

The originally bustling house suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned over.

Pei Yuqing turned a blind eye, reached under the neck of the girl next to him, untied the cloak for her very naturally, and handed it to Erqing behind him.

Xie Wan Ning didn't expect him to behave like this in front of so many elders, and her face gradually turned red.

The girl in a red dress had a slender figure and her eyes were wide open, staring straight at her husband.

Even the most beautiful peony in the flower field is not one-tenth as beautiful as hers.

In the eerie silence, Pei Yuqing took her hand and walked forward, bowing to the parents sitting in the first seat.

Princess Duanyang smiled and said jokingly, "You are really considerate to your wife."

A servant came forward carrying a tea tray.

Xie Wan Ning knelt on the cushion placed by the maid, and the people around her also knelt down.

She was stunned, and unconsciously began to recall that when she served tea to the ladies of the Lu family in her dream, did Lu Ziyan kneel down with her?
While she was thinking about it, her hands did not stop. She took the teacup with both hands and presented it first to the Duke of Pei and then to Princess Duanyang.

She folded her hands, kowtowed politely, called each of them "father and mother", and said, "Your daughter-in-law greets you two."

Pei Shurui, the Duke of Pei, was able to marry the eldest princess. He must have been extremely talented and handsome when he was young. Now that he is nearly fifty years old, he still looks dignified.

His eyes were bright as he took the teacup, took a sip, stroked his beard and smiled.

Princess Duanyang beside her also drank the cup of daughter-in-law tea with a smile, "Hurry up and talk."

Her tone was gentle, without any of the majesty of a royal princess. She looked like a very kind elder. Xie Wan Ning's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and she was helped to stand up by Pei Yuqing.

After waiting for more than ten years, she finally drank the daughter-in-law tea. Even though what happened last night was known to the whole city, and the confidante nanny reported this morning that Yuanpa had not seen any bleeding, it did not affect Princess Duanyang's good mood.

Seeing the girl in front of him behave quietly and elegantly, be respectful and polite, and be beautiful and graceful, he could understand more and more why her eldest son, who had always said that he would never marry in his life, suddenly took action and put his heart into her, and tried so hard to win her over.

No wonder the prince of Wuyuanhou would be so shameless as to make such a scene for this girl.

Thinking about it, she asked in a gentle voice, "Is your maiden name Wanwan?"

Xie Wanning nodded in agreement.

Seeing her awkwardness, Princess Duanyang smiled and held her hand, comforting her: "Don't be so reserved. I'm not an evil mother-in-law who tortures people. Now that you've married, I just hope that you two will love each other and support each other until old age."

Xie Wan Ning felt warm in her heart and said, "My daughter-in-law knows."

Her quiet and well-behaved appearance was really pleasing to the eye. Princess Duanyang took a brocade box from the maid behind her and handed it to her as a greeting gift. She smiled and said, "We will have a good talk later. First, let your husband take you to meet people. All the relatives are here today."

Husband...

Xie Wan Ning blushed slightly and bowed to say yes.

The population of the Duke of Pei's Mansion is more complex than that of the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion, but it is still small compared to other aristocratic families in the capital.

The old Duke of Pei had five sons, two legitimate and three illegitimate. Pei Shurui was the second legitimate son. His legitimate elder brother died early and had only one daughter, so the title fell on him.

Unexpectedly, when the old Duke was asking for the title of Crown Prince for his second son, his eldest daughter-in-law was diagnosed as pregnant.

Later she gave birth to a posthumous child.
