The man in front put one hand behind his back and walked over slowly. He was wearing a black brocade robe and had a tall and straight posture. His breath was cold, as he had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Wen Nianruan has not seen Xiao Yihan since the last time they met on the street when he returned to Beijing.
I heard that Xiao Jinran wanted to hold a reception banquet for him, but Xiao Yihan refused because he didn't like such a big fanfare.
Wen Nianruan took a deep breath and smiled: "I didn't expect His Highness Prince Xuan to come to my second brother's banquet."
"Well, I heard that you were coming, so I followed you."
Xiao Yihan's voice was cold, his dark eyes were fixed on Wen Nianruan, and there were many complex emotions hidden in his eyes.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Nianruan's heart beat violently. She had no feelings for Xiao Yihan. This was a sentiment left over from the original owner.
It seems that the original owner's feelings for Xiao Yihan are really extraordinary.
After carefully recalling the memories in his mind, Wen Nianruan suddenly discovered that the original owner had known Xiao Yihan before meeting Xiao Weifeng, but Xiao Yihan went on expeditions all year round, and the two did not spend much time together. Every time Xiao Yihan came back from the border,
The original owners were all filled with joy.
Later, Xiao Weifeng appeared. In order to take advantage of the original owner, Xiao Weifeng coaxed him with sweet words. The original owner was simple in mind and was coaxed around by Xiao Weifeng.
In addition, Xiao Yihan only came back for a long time, and the original owner gradually lost his feelings for him. He thought that he had moved on and fell in love with Xiao Weifeng.
She buried the beautiful things between herself and Xiao Yihan deep in her heart, not thinking about them, and gradually forgot about them. She wanted to follow Xiao Weifeng, but she was sent to the harem by him personally.
Now that Wen Nianruan thought about it, the original owner had never forgotten Xiao Yihan, but was confused by Xiao Weifeng at the beginning.
When he was with the original owner before, Xiao Yihan would go back to the Imperial Capital once every two months to visit the original owner.
Later, after the original owner entered the palace and became a concubine, Xiao Yihan did not return to the Imperial Capital for half a year. Even though there was no war at the border and it was relatively leisurely, he never returned to the Imperial Capital once. I wonder if it was because of the original owner.
I heard that Xiao Jinran called him back because Concubine Xian missed him too much this time.
Xiao Yihan's eyes kept falling on Wen Nianruan, and he said darkly: "Should I call you Concubine Wen now, or..."
"Call me Concubine Wen."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Nianruan interrupted with a smile.
She is a person who likes to cut through troubles with a quick knife, so the things that happened between the original owner and Xiao Yihan in the past are better buried deep in her memories.
After all, she was not the original owner, and she didn't have that kind of love between a man and a woman for Xiao Yihan, so she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.
It is enough for her to have Yun Chenan and Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yihan pursed his thin lips and took two steps up to approach Wen Nianruan, speaking in a low and sad voice: "Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
Wen Nianruan's heart throbbed, and he felt like he was about to suffer from a heart attack.
She took a step back, distanced the two of them, and smiled calmly: "It's been so long, and there's nothing to say."
Otherwise, what would she say?
He said that the original owner has already been reincarnated. She is not the original owner. Don't kill her with any more memories. The one she likes in her heart now is not him. Although she is the emperor's woman now, she likes the national teacher next door?
It’s outrageous to think about!
"I have other matters, so I won't tell His Highness anymore."
Not wanting to tangle with Xiao Yihan anymore, Wen Nian softly turned around and left, but Xiao Yihan suddenly held her wrist. He didn't look back, looked down at the ground, and said in a cold voice: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Xiao Yihan was very strong, and Wen Nianruan couldn't break free of his hand even though he secretly tried his best.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan."
"Empress Wen."
As soon as Wen Nianruan opened her mouth, a warm voice came over her. She felt happy that her national master had arrived just in time.
Xiao Yihan calmly let go of Wen Nianruan's wrist, raised his eyes to look at the man in white who was slowly walking over, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xiao Xixi came with Yun Chenan and happily ran to Wen Nianruan's side, pouting: "Sister Wen, so you are here. My brother has been looking for you with me for a long time."
Of course, my brother wanted to find Sister Wen more, but she didn't dare to say that if someone was around.
Yun Chenan's eyes glanced at Wen Nianruan's wrist, his eyes moved slightly, but his face was very calm, and he said to Xiao Xixi: "This is His Highness Prince Xuan, please call me brother."
"Brother Xuan Wang." Xiao Xixi called obediently.
Xiao Yihan turned to look at her and nodded lightly.
Although they are cousins, this is the first time the two have met. Xiao Yihan is often at the border, while Xiao Xixi has never been back to the capital, and the two have never met each other.
"Do His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and Concubine Wen have anything to say?"
Yun Chenan's eyes flickered, scanning the two of them, and lingering on Wen Nianruan a few more times.
But Wen Nianruan's eyes were darting around, not looking at Yun Chenan, as if he was a thief with a guilty conscience.
Thinking about it carefully, why should she feel guilty? She has nothing to do with Xiao Yihan, but the original owner does.
Thinking about this, Wen Nianruan felt confident. He turned to look at Yun Chenan and met the end of his raised eyes. There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and Wen Nianruan felt weak again.
She seemed to have no secrets in front of Yun Chenan, and he could see through her every time.
Xiao Yihan didn't notice the difference between the two of them, and said coldly: "I don't have anything to say, I just want to catch up with Concubine Wen. Since Concubine Wen is not free now, let's wait for another day."
After giving Wen Nianru a deep look, Xiao Yihan flicked down his sleeves and left.
"Xu Xiajiu?" Yun Chenan looked at Wen Nianruan, with a playful smile in his eyes, and leaned forward to whisper in her ear: "When I get back, I want to hear the story of Ruanruan and King Xuan reminiscing about the past."
Wen Nianruan's eyelids twitched, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
But fortunately, it's Yun Chenan now, not Xiao Yi. If Xiao Yi was here just now, he would probably be filled with jealousy throughout the Hou Mansion.
Wen Nianruan and Yun Chenan separated, and she and Xiao Xixi went to find Pei Yiqing. After such a long time, she and Wen Tingzhou should have finished talking.
Before reaching the yard, Pei Yiqing and Wen Tingzhou walked out side by side. Pei Yiqing lowered her eyes, her face was blushing, and she was very shy, but her face looked much better than last time. She seemed a little more happy this time.
"Second brother, Miss Pei."
Wen Nianruan called the two of them, raised his eyebrows and looked around them.
Wen Tingzhou looked slightly unnatural and coughed lightly: "You guys talk first, I'll go to the front yard to take a look."
Today's banquet was originally held for him. If he didn't show up and go through the motions, people would be criticized.
Moreover, most of the people who come are officials. If he offends them, it will have an impact on his career in the future.
After Wen Tingzhou left, Wen Nianruan walked to Pei Yiqing and said with a smile, "How are you and your second brother?"
Judging from Pei Yiqing's face, the second brother probably didn't say anything hurtful this time.
