Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Ruanruan and his fiancée face off
"Second Young Master Wen."
Pei Yiqing quickly stood up to say hello, but she did not dare to look directly at Wen Tingzhou and kept staring at the ground.
Wen Tingzhou didn't pay much attention to her and didn't notice anything strange. Instead, he looked at Xiao Xixi twice because this was the first time he saw Xiao Xixi and she was relatively unfamiliar.
Wen Nianruan introduced him: "This is Princess Yuhan of Prince Rongning's palace. She is also the biological sister of the Imperial Preceptor and Crown Prince Ling Zhao."
Only then did Wen Tingzhou know Xiao Xixi's identity and nodded lightly: "Princess Yuhan."
Xiao Xixi nodded timidly. She was a little reluctant to let go in front of strangers, especially Wen Tingzhou's aloof attitude, which made her a little timid.
When Wen Tingzhou sat down, Wen Nianruo raised a glass of congratulations: "Congratulations to my second brother for winning the first prize and being named on the gold list."
"Thank you, Fourth Sister."
Wen Tingzhou's face was indifferent, unfazed by favor or humiliation, and did not look like he was getting carried away at all.
The few chatted for a while, and Wen Nianruan stood up: "Xixi wants to go out to buy some things. I'll go back with her. Miss Pei and the second brother will wait here for a while."
Pei Yiqing naturally knew that she left to create opportunities for them, and the nervousness in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed.
Wen Tingzhou only nodded, not noticing the subtlety of the atmosphere.
After Wen Nianruan and Xiao Xixi left the restaurant, they were strolling on the street. Suddenly there was a loud noise and the passers-by on the street quickly separated to both sides. Wen Nianruan and Xiao Xixi were also pushed to the side of the road by the crowd.
A tall horse walked slowly over, followed by a long team of soldiers wearing armor.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is actually back."
"King Xuan has been stationed at the border for more than half a year, and this is the first time he has returned to Beijing."
"There is no war at the border now. King Xuan probably wants to come back and see Concubine Xian."
"."
Wen Nianruan listened to the discussions around him and realized that Xiao Yihan was back.
The man on the high horse was wearing armor and had a fierce aura. His facial features were three-dimensional and he pursed his thin lips and looked straight ahead.
Suddenly, Xiao Yihan turned his head and glanced towards Wen Nianruan. His dark eyes were deeply focused, looking at Wen Nianruan's slightly darker ink.
The two people's eyes met, and some memories flashed in Wen Nianruan's mind, which were the previous memories of the original owner and Xiao Yihan.
This memory was buried deep in the mind of the original owner. It was too long ago. If I hadn't seen Xiao Yihan today, those memories would still not have emerged from my mind.
After passing by, Xiao Yihan turned around and continued to look ahead, his expressionless handsome face showing no signs of fluctuation.
Looking at the figure on the horse fading away, Wen Nianruan felt a gloomy and complicated emotion in his heart, which was left behind by the original owner.
The original owner never felt this way when he saw Xiao Weifeng in the past. Only when he saw Xiao Yihan, the original owner's emotions fluctuated so much.
Perhaps, the original owner really likes Xiao Yihan
After the troops left, the streets became lively again.
Wen Nianruan's emotions gradually calmed down, and Xiao Xixi took her around because she had never gone shopping before and was very curious about everything on the street.
The two casually walked into a jewelry store to take a look. This jewelry store is the most famous in the Imperial Capital. Many ladies and wives of powerful officials and officials come here to order their hair and face.
Xiao Xixi looked around in the store with her big black eyes, not knowing which headwear to admire. She always dressed simply, with natural and exquisite facial features. She was very beautiful without any decoration, and she didn't understand these jewelry and gold hairpins.
Thinking that Xiao Xixi was about to celebrate her fourteenth birthday, Wen Nianruan planned to choose an exquisite golden hairpin as a gift for her.
Wen Nianruan walked around the shop, and his eyes finally fell on a butterfly glazed gold hairpin. He tapped his fingertips on the transparent table: "Shopkeeper, take out this gold hairpin and let me have a look."
"Shopkeeper, I also want to see this golden hairpin."
As soon as Wen Nianruan finished speaking, a clear female voice answered instantly. Wen Nianruan glanced back and didn't take it seriously at first, but Xiao Xixi whispered in her ear: "Sister Wen, this is my brother.
's 'fiancée.'"
Wen Nianruan narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Yinger carefully.
Tsk, that’s it.
If any of her two maids Qiubai and Yushuang were brought out, they would be much more beautiful than this 'fiancee'.
The main reason is that Meng Yinger grew up in a small county town, and it is difficult to change her rustic attitude and demeanor. Even the maids in the imperial capital, especially the maids in the palace and powerful families, are more noble than she is.
Xiao Xixi looked a little proud: "I just said she is not as good-looking as you, Sister Wen."
Although she is simple-minded, her eyes are not blind. She is still sharp and sharp, and she can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness at a glance.
Meng Yinger noticed that someone was interested in the same golden hairpin as her, and glanced over with unkind eyes. When she saw Wen Nianruan, her face changed, and there was unspeakable jealousy in her eyes.
Although she knew that the beauties in the Imperial Capital were everywhere, and she had seen many of them, when she saw Wen Nianruan, she realized that the beauties in the Imperial Capital were not the prettiest, only prettier.
Meng Ying'er only looked at Wen Nianruan, but didn't notice Xiao Xixi beside her. Mrs. Lin saw it when she turned around, and immediately smiled: "Princess Yuhan, why are you here?"
Since the last time they found out that Xiao Xixi was Xiao Yi's biological sister, the attitude of the mother and daughter took a big turn, and their tone of voice was respectful and polite.
Xiao Xixi was not very enthusiastic and said in a calm tone: "Sister Wen and I are here to take a walk."
Sister Wen?
Meng Ying'er remembered what she said when she first met Xiao Xixi, which was still fresh in her memory. Xiao Xixi said: You are not as beautiful as Sister Wen.
These words made her very angry at the time, and now she was even more angry when she stood next to Sister Wen.
Even though she wasn't as good-looking as Wen Nianruan, she didn't want to admit it.
"So you are the 'Sister Wen' that Xi Xi said."
Meng Ying'er smiled softly and looked at Wen Nianruan with even more unfriendly eyes.
Although Meng Yinger didn't know the relationship between Wen Nianruan and Xiao Yi, Wen Nianruan also knew where her hostility came from. She just couldn't see her being prettier than her.
Most women will have a kind of natural hostility and jealousy when they see a woman who is more beautiful than themselves.
When Mrs. Lin saw Wen Nianruan, even though she had passed the age where she loved to compete with girls, her eyes couldn't help but sour. She raised the corner of her mouth and squinted at Wen Nianruan with a somewhat mean look: "This
Who is Miss Wen?"
Wen Nianruan didn't answer. He turned his eyes to Meng Yinger and asked, knowingly: "Who is this girl?"
Mrs. Lin puffed up her chest, raised her chin, and could not hide her arrogance: "This is Prince Ling Zhao's fiancée. Prince Ling Zhao, you should know her, right?"
She raised her voice, fearing that other customers in the store wouldn't hear what she said, and fearing that others wouldn't know that Meng Yinger was Xiao Yi's 'fiancée.'
