Chapter 153 This Princess Will Never Be Able to Kiss a Man on the Lips in Her Life
Since Pei Jian already suspected that Xu Wanxin was involved in Nanxi's death, he naturally did not want to keep this trouble.
However, Xu's father was a first-rank official, as the Minister of War, and he had always been well-behaved, cautious and mature. He also had many relatives in the court, and the power was intertwined, so it was difficult for him to find any flaws.
But in the end, he did not dare to be careless, so he sent people to keep an eye on Xu Wanxin all day long.
When the servant reported that Xu Wanxin had been in frequent contact with Prince Jing's Mansion in recent times, Pei Jian became even more silent.
Prince Jing has been released from house arrest.
He underestimated Lu Wensheng.
Pei Jian sat behind his desk, staring at the talisman in his palm.
This is the amulet he asked for from Sanqing Temple.
Maybe it's because I'm older. I used to not believe in ghosts and gods, but only in myself. But now, I know what it feels like to be afraid, terrified, and lost.
So on the day of the Lantern Festival, he knelt devoutly before the Three Pure Ones, just to pray for Nianxi to be safe and sound every year.
Pei Jian knew he had made a mistake.
He was too eager.
In the political arena, a single mistake can lead to irreparable consequences.
He is no longer the prime minister who could cover the sky with one hand. His power is still too weak now to shake the foundation of a prince.
But it is easy for him to hit back.
Pei Jian is a man of iron and steel, fearless and unafraid, but Nian Xi is his only weakness. If someone touches him even once, he will feel terribly hurt.
After sitting quietly in the study for a long time, Pei Jian picked up a pen and wrote a letter.
…
Half a Life
Xiao Nanxi left the palace to look for Nian Xi to play with.
Nian Xi was also very happy to see her, "Is Concubine Shu willing to let you go out of the palace to have fun now?"
Xiao Nanxi curled her lips and waved her hand, "Mother is too busy to take care of me right now. Father asked Mother to help manage the six palaces, and she is now in Changle Palace discussing with the Empress."
Nian Xi was amused by her words and handed her the drink list. "Didn't you always say that you wanted to try these drinks to see if they were as good as those in the palace?"
Xiao Nanxi was sitting in the box, seeing everything new. Now she was standing by the window, looking out. When she heard this, she said without turning her head, "Bring me some signs and let me taste them."
Nian Xi smiled and gave the order.
After a while, the maids brought various drinks one after another, and the table was filled with cups, bowls and plates. Xiao Nanxi looked at the different types of drinks and juices and said in surprise, "This is too much."
Nian Xi really likes Princess Wenshu's personality, not to mention that she has helped her so many times.
So, imitating the princess's favorite words, the men said, "This is my love for you."
Xiao Nanxi burst out laughing. He showed Nianxi the correct way, "You should say, woman, are you satisfied with what you see?"
Nian Xi drew inferences from her experience, "Princess, you have successfully caught my attention."
They both burst into laughter.
After Xiao Nanxi tasted the drink, he stole a glance behind him, then whispered in Nianxi's ear, "Nianxi, I think I have tasted the bitterness of love."
Behind them was Yan Qing, who was holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, standing still like a mountain.
The eldest palace maid Fuling stood on the other side and ignored what the princess said.
Nian Xi followed her words and asked, "Is it really bitter?"
Xiao Nanxi originally thought that Nianxi would ask who he was, but she asked if it was hard. He could only hang his head and nod:
“More bitter than Coptis chinensis!”
Nian Xi just doesn't believe it.
She had heard that people who practiced martial arts had stronger five senses than ordinary people. The little princess' voice just now was not small at all. She said it was a whisper, but in the quiet room, everyone could hear it clearly.
It was clear who Xiao Nanxi was addressing.
So Nianxi asked again, "How did you endure the hardship?"
"I just want it but I can't get it."
This time Xiao Nanxi had something to say, "Many people love you, Nianxi, but you don't understand my suffering. I am a pitiful person who is not loved by anyone."
Yan Qing had sharp features, and his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as a knife. When he heard the princess' accusation, he raised his eyelids and looked at the back of the figure in the apricot-red dress.
The little princess was talking excitedly, "It's not like I don't have experience. The story says that any man who likes a woman can't control his emotions and wants to have sex with her seven times a night until dawn!"
"I don't have any!"
"I always go to bed when it gets dark and wake up when the rooster crows. I'm not happy at all!"
If Nianxi was really sixteen years old, she would probably blush when she heard this and would be too embarrassed to raise her head.
But she is not a real girl.
Hearing the princess' words, I felt embarrassed but also a little funny. She was obviously more innocent than anyone else, yet she insisted on saying such obscene things.
Fortunately, the two people next to her were already used to it.
Sure enough, Fuling pretended to be attracted by the incense burner on the table, and Yan Qing simply lowered his eyes and pretended to be indifferent.
Xiao Nanxi became even angrier.
With her lips pouted like a bottle of oil hanging from it, she angrily said, "This princess will never be able to kiss a man's mouth in her entire life!"
Nian Xi originally thought it was a little funny, but when she saw the princess's genuine sadness on her face, she felt a little pity for her.
A lonely and naive little princess in the deep palace, her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are actually very simple.
So she told the story of Cui Lian to Xiao Nanxi. The little princess was fascinated and asked repeatedly, "What next?"
"Then Cuilian went back to divorce her husband. Now a girl named Xiaomei from her village has come here and wants to divorce her husband too."
Xiao Nanxi clapped her hands and praised, "It's really good. There is no good thing about stinky men!"
Yan Qingwei lowered his head, his eyes like a deep ancient pool, calm and peaceful.
Nian Xi had no idea what was going on between the little princess and her guards, so she could only tell her new and interesting things to make her happy.
By the time Xiao Nanxi returned to the palace, he was in a much better mood.
When I was leaving, at the door of "Fu Sheng Ban He", I happened to meet a young man who was about to go in.
The waiter half-resisted and half-persuaded, "This gentleman, our shop only caters to female customers. It is a women's shop. I'm sorry that we can't accommodate you."
The man was young, dressed in brocade clothes, and spoke in an impatient and lazy tone. He pointed at Yan Qing behind Xiao Nanxi and said:
"It's a women's shop, so how come he was allowed in? Is he a woman?"
The waiter turned around and glanced at Yan Qing, and was speechless. These were distinguished guests personally welcomed by Miss Wen, so they were naturally different from ordinary people.
But it's not easy to say this to the guests.
I can only continue to give them kind words of encouragement.
Yan Qing didn't take the man's rude words to heart at all. He just followed Xiao Nanxi closely, holding the hilt of the sword.
Xiao Nanxi, however, had a strange temper. Although she was annoyed that Yan Qing was ungrateful and could not handle her full and passionate girlish heart, she would not tolerate others interrogating or humiliating her.
So she raised her little face and said in a sinister tone, "You can't even tell the difference between a men's store and a women's store, or between men and women. If you have poor eyesight, don't come out and wander around."
The man hadn't noticed her at first, and was about to get annoyed when he heard her rude words. But when he saw her face clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and he raised the corners of his lips, "Miss, you have your reasons for what you said."
He spoke Mandarin, but with an accent from another province, which showed that he was not from the capital.
Xiao Nanxi glanced at him sideways, snorted lightly, and ignored him.
Fuling opened the curtain first, and Xiao Nanxi prepared to leave.
The man followed closely behind, a few steps away, and just when he was about to speak, Nian Xi rushed over.
Because they were outside, Nianxi couldn't mention the princess title directly, so she just said, "This is the new snack in the shop, take it back and try it."
The man thought Xiao Nanxi was very beautiful.
He was sent to the capital by his father for marriage, and was originally in a very bad mood. He did not expect that the girls in the capital were so beautiful. Now that he had met one, he had to get to know her, otherwise it would be a pity, right?
He didn't expect that this small teahouse was actually full of hidden talents. Nian Xi's appearance made his eyes brighten.
