"What kind of crazy are you playing at?" Xie Wan Ning took a few steps back and said cautiously, "This is the imperial palace. The emperor is inside, as are the civil and military officials. You..."
Before he could finish his words, his waist felt tight, and when he reacted, the two of them were already behind the rockery.
"You're quite good at recruiting people," Lu Ziyan said in a cold voice, "One Pei Yuqing is not enough. When did you get involved with Ji Chengfeng?"
As he said this, he snatched the plum branch from her hand and tried to throw it aside, but Xie Wan Ning hurriedly grabbed his sleeve to stop him, "Don't!"
"He gave it to you?" Lu Ziyan sneered, "To pledge our love with plum blossoms?"
“No!” Xie Wan Ning tugged at his sleeve and stood on tiptoe to take the plum blossom back, “I chose it myself!”
In the pitch-black night, Xie Wan Ning couldn't see the expression of the person in front of her, but she could feel that his aura had noticeably eased after hearing these words.
Immediately afterwards, the bunch of plum branches returned to her hands.
"In the future, don't talk and laugh with other men."
There was some displeasure in his words, and Xie Wan Ning really laughed. If it wasn’t for the wrong place, she would have ridiculed him a few times, but now, she just sneered, "You should stop being crazy."
As she spoke, she was about to leave, but soon her wrist was grabbed.
"What do you want to do? Let go!" She struggled, and the other party paused for a moment, then let go.
"Wanwan," he said with difficulty, "are you in love with that pretty boy again?"
"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment. After she understood who 'pretty boy' referred to, she was speechless at his ability to give others such derogatory nicknames. She didn't know what to say.
But she didn't say anything, so Lu Ziyan took it as her consent and said in an increasingly cold voice, "Really?"
"no!"
Afraid that he would go crazy again, Xie Wan Ning, who didn't want to pay attention to him, patiently taunted him, "In your eyes, I am so short of men that I have to like every man I meet?"
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I miss you that much?" Lu Ziyan's eyebrows relaxed and he said seriously, "I'm just worried that others will miss you."
I don't know what position he is in to ask so many questions.
But this man is totally unreasonable. Perhaps in his heart, they are still husband and wife.
Xie Wan Ning also gave up the idea of reasoning with him and said, "I should go back."
As if her words reminded him of something, Lu Ziyan said, "What did you think I was going to say in the hall just now? Asking that old man for you in front of so many people?"
Before Xie Wan Ning could speak, he added, "I won't do that."
He had never looked down on her, so how could he treat her as a top-notch dancer and ask for her directly in the hall.
"I wanted to ask him for something else."
As he spoke, his hand went straight to her waist, and despite being stopped, he untied her sachet, squeezed it, and said, "The sachet he wears was embroidered by you."
It had been a long time since he had received a sachet from her.
Xie Wan Ning was wearing a light blue dress today, so the sachet she wore naturally had to match the color of her clothes.
In the dark night, Lu Ziyan could still see a lifelike lily of the valley embroidered on it. He took a look at it, then put the thing into his arms without hesitation and kept it away properly.
The series of movements were so smooth and flowing that Xie Wan Ning's eyes widened. "I didn't say I was going to give it to you!"
She jumped up and down desperately, trying to snatch it back, but she was not as tall as him, and she did not dare to have any other physical contact with him. She could only watch him put the things into his pocket, and said angrily: "Don't you think these flowers and plants are feminine?"
"...I don't mind," Lu Ziyan held her wrist and said, "Why would I mind? It's just that the flower and grass sachets you embroidered are so colorful that they are easy to get dirty."
So he was reluctant to wear it.
Later, the colors of the animals she embroidered, both the fabric of the sachet and the embroidery thread, became darker, and only then was he willing to take them out.
But how could he easily tell others such thoughts before? So today, she actually thought that he despised those women.
Before, he was not polite, not good at speaking, and reluctant to express himself, which led to her misunderstandings about him.
Many small misunderstandings added up to always make her suffer more.
Xie Wan Ning didn't expect this to be the reason. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses, "Give me back the sachet!"
Lu Ziyan pursed his lips and looked at her, saying, "It's fine if I return it to you, then I'll go and grab his."
Xie Wan Ning was furious, "Do you still have any shame?"
She had said such insults countless times, but Lu Ziyan didn't care at all.
The attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Xie Wanning was so angry that he almost fumed.
She discovered that although she usually had a calm temperament, when she met this person, her anger came out from nowhere and surged up, even burning her rationality.
She was so angry that her heart ached, and she kept telling herself that this was the imperial palace, and she couldn't make a big fuss or cause trouble!
After a long while, she finally suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and said with a fake smile: "Since Your Majesty likes it, you can use it. Can you let me go now?"
This new name made Lu Ziyan stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Don't call me that."
Xie Wan Ning didn't want to continue talking to him, so she shook her wrist again, "Let go!"
"I have something for you." Lu Ziyan really loosened his hand, took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from his sleeve, uncorked it, poured out a round pill from it, handed it to her, and said, "Eat it."
He held it directly to her lips, and the strong smell of medicine filled her nose. Xie Wan Ning quickly turned her head away, "What is this?"
Lu Ziyan did not answer, but said: "I won't hurt you, just eat it."
