The news that Princess Pingning wanted to marry a son-in-law soon spread in a small circle in the capital.
There are many impoverished official families in the capital. Although the Duke of Pei's Mansion is not as good as it used to be, it is still a first-class duke's mansion that is inherited from generation to generation.
It is said that I have offended His Majesty, but after so many years, His Majesty has not made any decision.
Moreover, after Princess Pingning's ex-husband divorced, Your Majesty not only did not use him, but instead banished him from the capital.
The time was chosen just when the two were about to divorce.
It is inevitable that bystanders will think that he is disgusted with the other party for abandoning his wife.
Therefore,... His Majesty will most likely not punish the Pei family.
Once this conclusion was reached, many aristocratic families who had kept their distance from the Pei family softened their attitudes.
Within a few days, several portraits of men were presented to Pei Yuxuan.
This time, the selection of sons-in-law is based on talent and family background, and they are all from poor and small families. It is not as grand as the selection a few years ago, but for the sake of offspring, appearance and character are both important indicators of the assessment.
All those who could be presented to Pei Yuxuan had gone through several rounds of screening.
Although she had no interest in it, she had promised her mother and could not refuse.
Here, Pei Yuxuan had just opened one of the paintings, and before she could take a closer look, a servant came to report from outside the door.
Xie Yanyu is here.
Since she returned home after her divorce, the man who had rarely met her in the capital for several years, appeared in front of her from time to time these days.
Whether it's going out for a stroll, attending a banquet, going for an outing in the suburbs, or going to a temple...
In short, as long as Pei Yuxuan goes out, there is a high probability that she will see him.
She was surprised at first, but after she realized his intention, she felt a surge of emotions.
Up to now, everything has been calm.
In all the many times they met, she was always accompanied by servants and relatives and friends, so the two of them had never spoken to each other alone.
It should be said that Xie Yanyu wanted to talk to her alone, but Pei Yuxuan pretended to be ignorant and was even disturbed by the rumors, so she basically avoided him whenever possible.
And this time, Xie Yanyu actually came to the door.
Pei Yuxuan looked up in surprise, "Is he outside the yard?"
How did he get into the Pei Mansion?
"Yes..." The servant hesitated, "...he is the guest of the prince."
“……” Pei Yuxuan remained silent.
She felt both pity and anger towards her romantic brother.
Could it be that the Xie brothers and sisters are the nemesis of them?
No no no!
Even if brother is willing to hang himself on Xie Wan Ning, she doesn't want to hang herself on Xie Yanyu!
Pei Yuxuan pursed her lips and wanted to avoid him, but then she thought, this is her home, why should she hide from him!
"Let him in!"
The servant took the order and left.
After a while, a figure appeared at the door.
The person was standing against the light, and his face was blurry from Pei Yuxuan's perspective, but he had a tall figure, and his hair was tied up with a jade crown. At first glance, he had a calm aura and an extraordinary appearance.
Still has this dead look that is good at deceiving people.
Pei Yuxuan pursed her lips and said straight to the point: "My Lord, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yes," Xie Yanyu walked in, looked around the room, and paused when he swept across the table.
He stared at the portrait spread out on top, and suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that the princess is interested in recruiting a son-in-law, so I'm here to recommend myself."
She got straight to the point.
He didn't beat around the bush.
Be frank about your purpose.
When she let him in, Pei Yuxuan had thought about what he would say, but his words still surprised her.
