Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 108

As soon as the two stepped out, Pei Yunche eagerly took Nalan Jingwen's hand, their fingers intertwined.

Nalan Jingwen merely glanced at him and didn't say anything more. Pei Yunche, seeing that she didn't refuse, smiled slightly, indicating that he was in a good mood.

"I heard that among the envoys from Qi today, their national advisor has arrived, whose name is something like Xue."

He frowned, thinking about the person's name.

"Xue Qingheng".

Nalan Jingwen replied.

"Yes! That's him!"

"I heard he's very handsome. Is that true? I see a lot of people waiting around the inn in the city. I want to see him."

Nalan Jingwen recalled Xue Qingheng's face, which was as white as snow, and nodded.

"real."

Pei Yunche suddenly stopped, and Nalan Jingwen also stopped.

"what happened?"

Pei Yunche stared at her, puffing out his cheeks, "Am I prettier or is he prettier?!"

Nalan Jingwen couldn't help but chuckle, yet also felt somewhat helpless. What was there to compare? They were all different kinds of beauty, and it was impossible to determine who was better.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Yunche shook her hand, "Say something! Who's prettier between us?"

"They all look good."

Pei Yunche shook off her hand and snorted, "Then how does Rong Hengyu compare to him?"

Nalan Jingwen sighed, "It's the same. There's no comparison. He's not my husband, so whether he's good-looking or not is none of my business."

Pei Yunche's expression softened, and he took her hand again. "Who knows? Maybe you just like her because she's pretty."

"There are so many good-looking people in the world, is it possible that I would fall in love with every one I see? Wouldn't they tear down my harem? And with you around, I'm afraid I'll never have a peaceful life."

"Nalan Jing, you bastard!"

Although Pei Yunche looked angry, he couldn't help but smile. He clenched his fist and aimed it at Nalan Jingwen, who easily deflected the punch, pulled him towards him, and then scooped him into his arms.

Pei Yunche simply buried his face in the crook of her neck and remained still, like a quail, his arms wrapped around her waist tightly, the tips of his ears turning slightly red.

The servants around them pretended not to see them, acting as if they were blind, keeping their heads down and doing their own thing, looking at the sky and the ground but not at them.

Nalan Jing chuckled and asked, "What brings you here to see me today?"

Pei Yunche shifted slightly, his voice muffled, "Do I have to have something to say before I come to see you? I just wanted to see you."

Nalan Jing smiled but remained silent, as did Pei Yunche. The two simply embraced quietly in the courtyard, bathed in the bright sunlight, which cast a faint golden glow upon them.

The servants around them were very perceptive; before they knew it, they had all left, leaving only the two of them.

"Everyone is gone."

Nalan Jing heard this.

Pei Yunche blushed and withdrew from her embrace, though he was clearly reluctant to leave.

"I came to ask you if you will be attending the banquet at the palace tonight."

It's no wonder he asked that question. In the past, the original owner never attended many banquets in the palace. He was either indulging in pleasure at the Red Chamber or searching for handsome men everywhere. In any case, he would never go to those boring banquets.

Nalan Jingwen nodded.

Pei Yunche's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'm going with my mother and sister tonight, but I want to go with you."

"No, if outsiders see this, it will damage your reputation."

Pei Yunche pouted, his face completely unconcerned.

"I don't care what they think. Let them say what they want. Anyway, I'm going to marry you sooner or later. Besides, I've been going to your mansion every day lately, so my reputation is already ruined."

"Do you think your mother will agree?"

Pei Yunche then deflated, hanging his head and remaining silent.

He knew his mother disliked Nalan Jingwen, and he had been secretly going out to find her these past few days, with his sister covering for him.

Nalan Jingwen pinched his cheek and said, "We can meet at the banquet. There's no need to rush. Besides, it's not like you can't come to the Prince's Mansion to find me."

Pei Yunche grasped the hand that was pinching his cheek and rubbed it against it, saying aggrievedly, "I just wanted to look at you more."

Even though he came to the Prince's Mansion to see her every day these past few days, he still felt he couldn't get enough of her. That's how people are; they're always greedy. When they don't see each other, they want to see each other, even if it's just for a short while. Once they do see each other, they want to see each other every day. And once they see each other every day, they want to be together all the time, never to be apart.

Nalan Jingwen glanced at the black hem of clothing in the corner, then looked away and said to Pei Yunche, "You should go back first. We'll see you tonight. Your mother is probably looking for you now."

"how do you know?"

Nalan Jingwen looked at him, but smiled and remained silent.

Pei Yunche suddenly let go of her hand. How could he forget that his mother said she would let him try on clothes for the banquet in the palace today!

"I'll be going now! See you tonight!"

He gave Nalan Jingwen a quick kiss on the cheek and waved to her as he walked out.

Remember to think of me!

Nalan Jingwen watched him leave and disappear from sight. Cheng He stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this old servant will send someone to escort Young Master Pei back to the General's Mansion."

Nalan Jingwen nodded and looked at the mirror pool that was coming towards him.

"Let's talk in the study."

In the study room.

Jingchi handed the item in his hand to Nalan Jingwen, who took it, opened it, and saw its contents without any reaction.

“Prince Jia’s private army has arrived outside the city, and the leader is none other than Duan Yu.”

Nalan Jingwen was not surprised by this result at all. She put the letter into the candle flame, and it quickly burned out.

"continue."

"My subordinates have discovered that Duan Chengwu knew the former Prince Jia. The former Prince Jia rescued Duan Chengwu from a group of bandits and used his influence to make Duan Chengwu the commander of the Imperial Guard."

"Duan Chengwu had a wife who was pregnant before he became the commander of the Imperial Guard, but she suddenly miscarried for some unknown reason."

Nalan Jingwen tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and said, "So, Duan Yu is very likely the child that Duan Chengwu originally miscarried?"

He merely used some tricks to give it to the former Prince Jia, making him a dog under the current singer Nalan.

One of the mother and daughter kept a close watch in the capital, so that Nalan Ge could know immediately of any slightest movement. The other became the medium for communication between Duan Chengwu and Prince Jia. After all, it was suspicious to think that a prince would have contact with the commander of the Imperial Guards.

Jingchi nodded, acknowledging Nalan Jingwen's words.

"Does Duan Chengwu have any other children?"

"There is also a daughter, about seven years old, but she is no longer in the capital. Some time ago, Duan Chengwu's husband took the child and left the capital."

Nalan Jingwen's eyes darkened slightly, and his fingertips paused.

"Do you know where they went?"

Jingchi hesitated for a moment, then said, "If Your Highness wishes to arrest them, I will go now."

Nalan Jingwen waved his hand, "Capture the man by tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the festival. If we can catch the two of them, it will save us a lot of trouble.

Jingchi stood up, his body swaying slightly, and Nalan Jingwen's gaze fell on his feet.

"Wait."
