Chapter 1089: You Still Recognize Me

At this time, Pei Chuyan saw Lu Xingwan leaving the Xuanfu Palace, so he said goodbye to the people beside him and went out of the palace.

When he left the gate of Xuanfu Palace, the first thing he saw was Lu Xingwan sitting in the corridor.

When he saw Lu Xingwan, a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed across his eyes.

Afterwards, he followed Lu Xingwan's gaze and looked in the direction of Jiang Qingyin and Xing Niaoniao.

When he saw the two of them, a hint of displeasure flashed across Pei Chuyan's eyes.

Both of these women made him somewhat annoyed.

He knew that His Majesty and the Crown Prince both highly valued Lord Jiang, the Minister of Rites, so he had no intention of rejecting his honor.

But now the wife and daughter of the Jiang family really have no idea of ​​their proper place.

It would be better to clarify this matter with Lord Jiang.

However, Pei Chuyan quickly came to his senses and his eyes fell on the empty seat next to Lu Xingwan.

Looking at the empty seat, he felt an urge to lift his feet and move towards Lu Xingwan's side.

But just as he raised his foot and before he took a step, an nimble figure flashed past him.

Pei Chuyan couldn't help but frown.

In this palace, it is really inappropriate to act so recklessly.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the man, only to see that man already sat steadily beside Lu Xingwan.

Pei Chuyan's eyes, which were somewhat gentle just now, suddenly became sharp.

Of course he recognized this young man; he was Xia Wenhan, the son of Prime Minister Xia Ning.

Pei Chuyan retracted his raised foot, but his expression was terribly gloomy.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed closely in the direction of Xia Wenhan, as if he wanted to dig a hole in him.

Lu Xingwan was sitting here, looking in the direction of Xing Niaoniao and Jiang Qingyin with great interest.

The sudden slight movement beside her made her turn her head subconsciously.

What came into her sight was a strange boy. This boy sat down next to her without any warning, which made her heart tense. She took a step back involuntarily, and there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

After calming herself down a little, she began to look the boy up and down.

This young man should also be a man from an official family. He is wearing an exquisite brocade robe today, and his hair is neatly tied up and fixed with a mutton-fat jade hairpin.

Although his face is a little immature, his handsome features can be seen.

The most important thing is that when Lu Xingwan saw his energetic and lively eyes, she suddenly felt that she was really old.

Xia Wenhan didn't feel that he was being abrupt at all. He watched Lu Xingwan move back a few steps, then he grinned, revealing his neat teeth, and said with a grin, "Princess Yong'an."

The tone of their conversation was as if they were close friends who had known each other for a long time.

Lu Xingwan even stepped back a little, trying to distance himself from the man.

If I were that unreasonable person, I could have dragged him out and chopped him to pieces right now.

He didn't really mind it, but if it was an ordinary woman, his action would be really rude.

He knows his identity.

But he clearly knew his identity, so why did he appear beside him so abruptly?

Seeing how resistant Lu Xingwan was to him, Xia Wenhan realized belatedly that he had yet to introduce himself to Lu Xingwan.

He sat up straight, clasped his hands together, and spoke politely, "Princess Yong'an, I am Xia Ning's son, Xia Wenhan."

As the name Xia Wenhan appeared in Lu Xingwan's mind, she finally remembered who the person in front of her was.

It turns out that this is the little boy who was older than me and followed me around and called me sister when I was in Baoning County.

Who would have thought that the naughty boy with dark skin that one could not tell his skin color has grown up to be so handsome.

To be honest, Xia Wenhan looks a bit like his mother.

From his eyes and brows, one can also recognize his mother's appearance.

Perhaps because she knew his identity, Lu Xingwan's tense body relaxed a little.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and then he looked him up and down.

"I never thought you'd become so handsome now."

Xia Wenhan felt a little shy after being praised by Lu Xingwan.

A blush instantly appeared on his fair cheek and he shook his head in embarrassment.

"I didn't expect Princess Yong'an still remembered me."

Of course he didn't remember Princess Yong'an.

It was just that I saw her at the palace banquet today, and heard my mother talk about her past relationship with Princess Yong'an, so I wanted to come and reminisce about the past.

But if we talk about reminiscing, in fact, he and Princess Yong'an were just little kids who had just learned to walk at that time.

The two of them talked and laughed without any scruples.

But their interaction like this pierced Pei Chuyan's heart.

Pei Chuyan stood not far away, just looking at them, his face looking terrifyingly gloomy.

All kinds of emotions kept surging in Pei Chuyan's heart, and the scene of Lu Xingwan and Xia Wenhan talking and laughing together appeared in his mind.

He could no longer suppress his emotions, and he suddenly lifted his feet and strode towards Lu Xingwan.

But at this moment, he was surprised to find that he actually had a possessiveness towards Lu Xingwan.

He had always thought that his feelings for the princess were like those of a brother to his sister, but now, he was...

For a moment, he didn't know how to face himself and was a little hesitant.

But while he was hesitating, he had already arrived behind Lu Xingwan and Xia Wenhan.

At this time, Lu Xingwan did not continue talking to Xia Wenhan. She looked towards where Jiang Qingyin and Xing Niaoniao were not far away. Their matter had not yet come to an end.

Therefore, Lu Xingwan was completely unaware of Pei Chuyan's approach.

But Xia Wenhan didn't know why, he suddenly felt a chill going up from the soles of his feet to his heart.

He turned his head involuntarily, and sure enough, Pei Chuyan's tall and upright figure was standing behind him.

There is a suffocating sense of oppression.

In an instant, Xia Wenhan stopped talking and stood up suddenly.

He happened to meet Pei Chuyan's eyes which were emitting cold light.

The low pressure around Pei Chuyan at this time made Xia Wenhan feel a sense of intimidation.

Because of his father, Xia Wenhan was able to move freely in the palace since he was a child. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took good care of him, so he often went in and out of the Xingyang Palace.

In fact, he was not that afraid of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But he was just afraid of Pei Chuyan.

"An...Duke An..." Following Xia Wenhan's trembling voice, Lu Xingwan also turned his head.
