Xie Xianyu froze there, his heartbeat stopping for a moment.
She is kissing him?
She let go of him, her soft lips touching and then she lifted her eyes to look at him fiercely.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
His eyes flickered, his ears felt hot unconsciously, and he opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Cuizhu whispered outside, "Young Madam, Miss Yu is here."
Wanruo simply lifted the tent curtain and went out.
Xie Xianyu was still standing there. Only when her footsteps faded away did his thoughts gradually become clear.
She just kissed him. Does she like him?
When this thought suddenly popped up in his mind, his heart skipped a beat.
"Young Master."
Qing'an rushed in and said, "His Majesty has sent someone to invite you to the palace for a discussion."
Xie Xianyu came back to his senses, calmed down his emotions, and replied calmly, "I understand."
Qing'an was suddenly surprised and asked, "Sir, why is your face red?"
Xie Xianyu’s eyebrows twitched.
"Could it be a cold? I heard that the plague in Qingzhou started with a sudden fever..." Qing'an was impatient.
Xie Xianyu scowled, “Get lost!”
"Yes." Qing'an was frightened and immediately turned around and ran away.

Xie Xiuzhu and Wanruo agreed to go pick peach blossoms today. It was early spring, the time when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the vast peach forest on Yanhui Mountain stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Wanruo, do you want to see the wreath I'm making?" Xie Xiuzhu weaved a wreath made of peach blossom branches and put it on her head to show her.
Wanruo put it on her and her eyes lit up: "Look."
"Then I'll make another one for you. No one else's will be as good as mine. They won't know how to pick it out."
Xie Xiuzhu was very proud of her rare talent for something she was good at, and she excitedly began to pick peach blossoms.
Wanruo followed her with a basket, and the two of them walked through the peach forest together.
"Did you have another fight with big brother just now?" Xie Xiuzhu asked while picking peach blossoms.
"How do you know?"
"When I came here, I saw the servants were all guarding outside the tent, and Cuizhu didn't look very happy. I guess big brother is angry."
Xie Xiuzhu frowned: "Big brother didn't get angry so easily before."
From childhood to adulthood, she had hardly ever seen Xie Xianyu change his expression. She always felt that he had a very bad temper and took everything lightly, not taking anything seriously at all.
She once thought that if he got married in the future, he would definitely treat his sister-in-law with respect and courtesy, and be more harmonious and respectful to her than to his parents.
Wan Ruo had a blank expression on her face: "When has he ever lost his temper?"
Suddenly, I heard someone talking deep in the peach forest.
"Young Marquis, I heard that you're engaged to the daughter of the Xie family, Master Xie's biological sister. Tsk tsk, you're so lucky."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiuzhu and Wanruo looked at each other, and immediately and quietly went behind the peach tree and quietly looked over.
It was Meng Huaichuan and a few young masters chatting and laughing in the peach forest.
The young man in the middle, wearing a dark, narrow-sleeved brocade gown and a high ponytail, was Meng Huaichuan. He raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Don't mention it. My father arranged a marriage for me, and he still has to take care of me even though he's so far away."
"You are your father's only son, so who do you care about?"
"Who cares! I heard that Xie Xiuzhu is spoiled and a bitch. I'm a man of the underworld, how could I care about that little girl?"
When Xie Xiuzhu heard this, she exploded on the spot and rushed out.
Before Wanruo could react, she had already started pointing at Meng Huaichuan's nose and cursing: "Do you think I care about you?! You are just a playboy, and you have no intention of tarnishing the word "jianghu"!"
The young masters were shocked. They didn't expect that the girl from the Xie family was really here. They immediately felt guilty and dared not speak.
Unexpectedly, Meng Huaichuan also exploded, and jumped down from the tree in frustration: "My young master, that's the brotherhood of the underworld. What do you, a little girl who stays in the inner house all day, know?! How dare you say that I can only fight chickens and dogs?!"
"You're talking about chivalry, but I think you're a scabby guy who can't even afford to lose at a game of pot-throwing!"
Before, Wanruo took Xiuzhu to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and Meng Huaichuan got into a fight with others because he lost the game of throwing pots.
"When did I become unable to accept defeat?! He was cheating! I, your humble servant, have always done things right. If someone truly possesses talent, I will naturally admire them. I despise those despicable tactics!"
"You make so many excuses because you just can't afford to lose! You're so petty. I don't want to marry someone like you!" Xie Xiuzhu said arrogantly.
Wanruo quickly went forward to pull Xiuzhu back, fearing they would start fighting: "Xiuzhu, let's go back."
The other young men also hurried over to pull Meng Huaichuan back: "Forget it, forget it, why bother with a girl? If this gets out, people will say you have no manners."
Meng Huaichuan didn't care at all, his face turning blue with anger: "Do you think I want to marry a good-for-nothing idiot like you?"
Xie Xiuzhu was furious again and broke free from Wanruo's hand. "You look like a stick. I don't know how a great and majestic general like Marquis Ding'an could raise a son like you who looks like an embroidered pillow."
"How dare you call me a useless person?! I came in third in this hunt!" Meng Huaichuan was almost so angry that he had a heart attack.
Marquis Ding'an was a strong man who had been tempered on the battlefield. Meng Huaichuan was only eighteen years old, but he had also practiced martial arts since he was a child. It was just that his face was more handsome, and he did not look as majestic as someone who came from a military background.
He hates being called delicate the most!
Meng Huaichuan gritted his teeth and pointed at her nose: "I always thought your face was as big as a basin. I don't know how a man as elegant and kind as Xiao Xie could have a sister like you!"
Xie Xiuzhu stamped her feet in anger: "You are the one with a big face! My mother said I am still young and when I grow up, there will be no flesh on my face!"
