The Khan did not care about the separation between men and women, and did not stipulate that women had to abide by the rules and stay in the rear quarters after marriage.
From the royal family to the common people, there is no saying that women cannot show their faces in public.
At every palace banquet, the emperor and empress entertained all the ministers together, and high-ranking concubines accompanied them.
In the countryside, married women can still go out, make friends, and chat and laugh.
It is not uncommon for couples to divorce, widows to remarry, or women to marry a husband and start their own family.
The royal princesses and princesses openly kept male favorites.
She and Ji Chengfeng just met by chance and chatted for a few minutes.
It's still in an open space outdoors, not alone in a room.
Is such a small matter worth making him so upset?
She could treat being jealous occasionally as a hobby, but wasn't that a bit too much?
"I can't believe you're even more conservative than my brother." Xie Wan Ning was a little annoyed. She looked at the person opposite her for a while and frowned, "Are you someone who advocates the rules of the previous dynasty?"
In the previous dynasty, women were so famous that they even wanted to cover their faces so that they could not be seen by men outside.
After more than 200 years of dynasties changing, there are still many scholars and officials who admire the rituals of the previous dynasty and keep saying that they want to restore the old system. If this person also has this idea...
Xie Wan Ning frowned even deeper.
If so...
Her eyes suddenly changed, and Pei Yuqing held her hand helplessly, "Don't accuse me of anything."
"...I'm not like that." If the topic continued, the two would get angry again, so he said in a good-tempered manner, "Forget it, let's not talk about that."
What could he say, that he couldn't help feeling upset when he saw her paying attention to other men?
But his attitude of swallowing his anger in silence made Xie Wan Ning feel even more uncomfortable.
It was as if she had done something very wrong and he just didn't want to argue with her.
It's so awkward.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong that was worth him being upset for a whole day.
The carriage became inexplicably quiet.
Seeing her displeasure, Pei Yuqing thought for a few breaths, intending to say something to comfort her, but Xie Wan Ning had already turned her head away from him and even pulled her hand away, refusing to let him touch her.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the noisy voices of people on the street were heard outside the carriage.
It was chaotic, but one could clearly hear the sounds of joy.
I don't know what good thing happened.
Xie Wan Ning was a little curious and wanted to lift the curtain to take a look, when she heard Pei Er's voice coming from outside.
"Prince, Lu Ziyan has led his troops back to the capital."
At the same time, on the long and narrow Zhuque Street in Beijing, Lu Ziyan took the lead and tightened the reins, looking at the Pei family emblem on the opposite carriage with a cold look in his eyes.
Ming Jian rode forward and rode side by side with him, whispering, "There is a banquet at the Qucheng Marquis's Mansion today. Miss Xie went with that man and is now in the carriage."
Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes and uttered a very soft "huh".
"Go and tell them to give way." Ming Jian said.
His master was fighting outside, competing with those old foxes in wits and courage, cracking a corruption case that shocked the court and the public, and single-handedly removed the hats of more than a dozen officials and returned to Beijing. With such achievements, it is impossible for them to give way to these aristocratic families who sit in the capital and enjoy their wealth.
But before he could move, the carriage on the opposite side had already retreated to the side of the road.
"They're smart." Ming Jian smiled coldly.
Lu Ziyan glanced at him with a very indifferent look, but it made Ming Jian, who was about to say a few more words, stop talking immediately.
When passing by the carriage, Lu Ziyan suddenly looked over. His cold gaze seemed to be able to see through the curtain and see the situation inside clearly.
What are those two people doing in there now?
The girl's tender lips flashed through his mind, and his throat tightened slightly. "Go send a visiting card to Pei Yuqing and invite him to meet at Cuiyun Pavilion at noon three days later."
Lu Ziyan had already regretted not seeing him for several months.
He regretted that he had not held the person tightly in his arms and declared his sovereignty in the villa that day.
No matter who comes, he should detain them.
Being hesitant and timid is not his style.
He could never be a self-disciplined and polite gentleman. If he didn't rob her, she would not come back.
That girl was cruel as hell. The more he expressed his feelings to her and made her understand how important he was, the more she would feel confident in destroying his feelings and would never look back at him again.
Ming Jian whispered in agreement.
At this moment, as if possessed by some magic, he began to understand the master's intention of bringing that woman back from afar.
…………
The already quiet atmosphere in the carriage became even quieter when the name Lu Ziyan was heard.
Pei Yuqing ordered the driver to move aside and let Lu Ziyan and his group pass first.
After the rhythmic sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, the wheels started turning again.
Neither of them spoke a word until they returned home.
Xie Wan Ning returned to Xuanhua Courtyard, while Pei Yuqing went to the study in the outer courtyard.
That evening, a servant from the outer courtyard came to deliver a message, saying that the prince was busy with official duties and would be staying in the study tonight.
This kind of situation had happened before, but today they had a quarrel, so he stayed in the study. Xie Wan Ning felt a little suffocated.
Besides, it is almost the end of the year, and His Majesty will put down his pen in a few days. What official business can the ministers be busy with?
It's just that I'm still worried about what happened this morning.
Maybe there is also the matter of Lu Ziyan returning to Beijing.
He looks gentle and good-tempered, but in fact he is very stingy.
Xie Wan was annoyed all night. The next morning, when the culprit came to call her to get up, she turned over, faced inside, and ignored him.
