Chapter 133
“She had thought everything through, but she never expected that I would go against her wishes. Even if it means death, I will stand with the Pei family and never seek personal gain.”
"I originally came to you hoping you would help me. Falling in love with you was an unexpected surprise, and it was also something I did willingly. Therefore, I am destined not to listen to my mother and live according to her wishes."
His voice was very soft, but Nalan Jingwen heard it clearly, and her eyes showed a complicated expression.
It turned out that Pei Yunche understood everything. He understood why General Pei sent him to the palace and why General Pei did not agree to his marriage to her. It was never just because of her bad reputation.
No one can accurately guess the mind of an emperor. One day you may be given a great position, and the next you may be cast into hell. Even Nalan Jingwen was not sure how long Nalan Fengxing would remember their kinship. If Nalan Fengxing wanted her dead, Pei Yunche would definitely not escape her fate since he had married her.
The sisters seem very close now, but what about the future? Who can say for sure?
Moreover, after her conversation with Jingchi, her current identity has become a mystery.
Pei Yunche looked at her and said, "You'll always be by my side, right?"
Nalan Jingwen met his gaze and finally nodded.
Only then did he smile at her.
"Thank you."
Thank you to her for making him feel that his choice was the right one.
I also thank her for accepting him and giving him the opportunity to stay by her side.
……
They ultimately failed to buy the pear cake because it was limited and sold out before it was their turn.
Pei Yunche was still very happy. He rarely had the opportunity to go out with Nalan Jingwen. After this, he didn't know when the next time would be.
However, Nalan Jingwen still accompanied him shopping, buying him everything that Nalan Jingwen glanced at, which earned him plenty of curious glances from others.
After sending the items and people back to the General's Mansion, Pei Yunche was reluctant to let her go, but he still let her go. Nalan Jingwen knew that he had listened to her words and did not want to make things difficult for her.
She only returned to the Prince's Mansion after watching him enter the General's Mansion.
Rong Hengyu had already woken up. As soon as she walked in, she saw him sitting at the table, embroidering something in his hands.
Upon seeing her arrive, Rong Hengyu immediately stood up to greet her, "Your Highness, you're back?"
"Has Young Master Pei returned?"
Nalan Jingwen took the opportunity to pull him by the hand and sit him down at the table, nodding.
She went shopping with Pei Yunche in such a grand manner that the news had probably spread throughout the city. It's not surprising that Rong Hengyu, with his own influence, knew about it.
"doing what?"
Rong Hengyu smiled and handed the item to her.
"I am thinking that I will make an undergarment for Your Highness and make sure it is completed before Your Highness leaves."
She knew what Rong Hengyu had been doing, but she had never asked. Today was the first time she had asked, and she never expected that it was for her.
"Don't overwork yourself; it's not worth it."
Rong Hengyu smiled faintly and said, "I'm not tired. You're leaving soon, and I'm glad you thought of me while wearing these clothes."
Seeing that he said that, she didn't say anything more. She looked to the side and caught a glimpse of a handkerchief on the table. One corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with a mandarin duck, which was very lifelike and beautiful.
She picked it up; the handkerchief had Rong Hengyu's unique incense scent, which was very comforting.
When Rong Hengyu saw her pick up the handkerchief, he said, "This was embroidered by your servant. The handkerchief that Your Highness took before was also embroidered by your servant. It is a pair with this handkerchief. Did Your Highness notice?"
Nalan Jingwen's expression suddenly stiffened, and he remained silent.
Rong Hengyu seemed oblivious and continued, "I only embroidered that one before, and it just so happened that Your Highness took it. A few days ago, I embroidered another one, which makes a pair with Your Highness's. Would Your Highness please take out that handkerchief and let me see it?"
Nalan Jingwen didn't speak, but laughed awkwardly twice and turned her face away from him.
How could she possibly produce anything? She threw it into the fire and burned it to ashes, not even a trace remains. What is she going to show him?
Not hearing a reply from Nalan Jingwen, Rong Hengyu looked over and saw her stiff expression, instantly understanding something.
He said slowly, "Did Your Highness accidentally lose that handkerchief?"
Nalan Jingwen remained silent and did not answer. Rong Hengyu continued, as if explaining for her, "It's normal for it to be lost. There are many people in the army, and they are all women. Maybe someone took it by accident. It's just a handkerchief. Your Highness can embroider another one."
Nalan Jingwen pursed her lips, her expression complicated. Looking at his dignified and virtuous smile, she felt a little irritated.
Rong Hengyu seemed completely unconcerned, showing no sign of sadness or disappointment.
Nalan Jing asked, "May I have this? I will keep it safe with me."
Rong Hengyu's smile deepened, and he said, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, then I'll give it to you."
Nalan Jingwen tucked the handkerchief into his bosom, reached out and took the thing from his hand, and said, "Get some rest early tonight, I'll accompany you back to the Rong residence tomorrow."
Rong Hengyu was slightly taken aback, then slowly nodded.
"it is good."
……
The next day.
A royal carriage was slowly moving along, with Hongyun and Qinghuai following beside it. Rong Hengyu sat upright inside the carriage, and Nalan Jingwen patted his hand, saying, "You haven't been back for a long time, have you? I'm sorry to have troubled you."
After the marriage, he was supposed to accompany Rong Hengyu back to his parents' home, but the original owner let him go back alone.
So this can be considered Rong Hengyu's second homecoming.
Upon hearing this, Rong Hengyu responded with a polite smile.
"With Your Highness here, I have no reason to feel aggrieved."
Nalan Jingwen didn't say anything more until he arrived at the Rong residence. A large group of people were standing at the main gate of the Rong residence. They had all received news that Nalan Jingwen was coming and were waiting at the gate in advance. In the middle stood a middle-aged woman with a stern face and a vigorous spirit.
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the voices of Hongyun and Qinghuai could be heard.
"grown ups."
Prime Minister Rong nodded and looked at the carriage.
Nalan Jingwen got off first, then reached out to the carriage. Rong Hengyu placed her hand in his palm and got off the carriage.
"Prime Minister Rong, it's been a long time."
"Your subject pays respects to the Wise King, and to the Wise King's husband."
When Prime Minister Rong bowed, a large group of people behind him followed suit, creating a grand and impressive scene.
Rong Hengyu looked at Nalan Jingwen, who nodded knowingly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Prince Xian."
This Prime Minister Rong is different from General Pei. Although both of them dislike her, General Pei will directly give her a hard time, while Prime Minister Rong strictly adheres to the hierarchy and does not leave anyone with any leverage against her.
