Chapter 165: The Third Young Master is so handsome and heroic, everyone in the world knows him
Outside the side door of the palace, Wen Rulei leaned against the red wall with his head lowered.
Yu Pingping looked at him carefully.
The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he was not as handsome and noble as the Fourth Young Master Xie, he was still handsome and handsome. However, there was a dark frown between his brows, and he seemed to be depressed and frustrated.
She stepped forward and said softly, "Are you the Third Young Master?"
Wen Rulei was originally waiting for Wen Xingluo, and was getting very impatient, but he didn't expect that a pretty and lovely girl suddenly appeared.
He nodded and asked again, "Who are you?"
"I……"
Yu Pingping wanted to introduce herself, but was afraid that the other party would dislike her.
Although they were both merchants, the other party's family background was there. She should not reveal her identity until she was absolutely sure of taking him down.
"Are you a guest of the Zhenbei Palace?" Wen Rulei couldn't help but guess when he saw her wearing silk.
"Ah?" Yu Pingping was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I am a guest. I... I came to Chengdu as a guest with Chen Lezhi, the young princess of Hanzhong County."
Wen Rulei probed, "Are you also from the Hanzhong Palace?"
Yu Pingping pursed her lips.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, she suddenly said, "Yes, I am Chen Lezhi's sister."
She smiled sweetly at Wen Rulei and bowed gently, "Nice to meet you, Third Young Master."
Wen Rulei had been with women in his previous life, and he could see that Yu Pingping was trying to show her affection towards him.
He was good-looking and was very popular among girls in the capital in his previous life. It was also possible that the beloved daughter of the King of Hanzhong fell in love with him at first sight.
If he became the son-in-law of the King of Hanzhong...
Wen Rulei's eyes suddenly lit up.
If he became the son-in-law of the King of Hanzhong, would he still worry about not being able to be granted a title or appointed as a general in the future?
Isn't the title of the son-in-law of the King of Hanzhong more honorable than that of a sixth-rank guard?
From then on in the military camp, he finally didn't have to wash his clothes himself anymore.
He relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "What's your name, sister?"
"My name is Chen Pingping." Yu Pingping changed her last name. "It's so cold, why doesn't the Third Young Master go to the palace?"
Wen Rulei was too embarrassed to say that the servant had refused to let him in, so he made up a lie, "I had an argument with someone in the palace, so I'm wandering here alone."
Yu Pingping said sympathetically, "Every family has its own problems. It's inevitable that family members won't quarrel. It's only when they don't quarrel that they become strangers."
Wen Rulei was as happy as if he had met a kindred spirit. "Miss Chen is absolutely right! I used to expect a lot from her, but it was all for her own good. But not only did she not appreciate it, she even held a grudge against me and refused to acknowledge me as her third brother! Family members don't hold grudges overnight. I really don't understand how she could be so petty!"
Yu Pingping consoled him, "Third Young Master has good intentions and is the most responsible brother in the world. I believe your family will understand in the future."
"By the way," Wen Rulei suddenly became curious, "How do you know me?"
Yu Pingping was shy. "The Third Young Master is so handsome and heroic. Who in the world doesn't know him? It's Pingping's great honor to meet him today."
She bowed again, her gesture very charming.
Wen Rulei was confused.
How come he doesn't know that he is so famous?
Could it be because he was not famous in Shu County, but was quite famous in Hanzhong County?
He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it and invited, "Miss Chen, have you had breakfast yet? How about I invite you to try some of Rongcheng's specialties?"
Yu Pingping readily agreed.
The conversation between Wen Rulei and Yu Pingping at the side door, as well as the fact that they went to the restaurant together, were reported to Cuicui by the servant, and Cuicui told Wen Xingluo everything.
Wen Xingluo was sitting under the bright window reading a book. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's really interesting."
One thought the other was the third son of the Zhenbei Palace, and the other thought the other was the daughter of the Hanzhong Palace. How could this not be considered a "match made in heaven" and "mutual affection"?
She said, "Let them do whatever they want. We don't need to interfere."
Cuicui thought for a moment and whispered, "There's one more thing I want to tell you, young lady. Doesn't Yu Pingping live in our courtyard? The maid who packed her room and luggage quietly told me that she had hidden a packet of aphrodisiac in her bag. It seems she bought it when she went out last night. I wonder if she plans to use it on the Fourth Young Master?"
Wen Xingluo's hand that was turning the pages of the book suddenly tightened.
She had been given an aphrodisiac by Mu Zhiqiu before, so she knew how potent that thing was.
How dare Yu Pingping let Fourth Brother use it!
Fourth brother treats her very well, and she won't allow anyone to plot against him!
A cold look flashed across the girl's dark almond-shaped eyes. Her fingertips slowly stroked the pages of the book, and she already had a plan in mind.
Yu Pingping didn't return home until dusk.
As we passed by a garden, we heard a voice coming from behind the banana tree:
"Cui Cui, when will the Shen family's caravan depart? I can arrange for Miss Yu to accompany them."
"Miss, they are leaving early tomorrow morning. When Miss Yu comes back, I will inform her and ask her to pack her luggage tonight."
Yu Pingping recognized that the people speaking were Wen Xingluo and Cuicui.
Wen Xingluo continued, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Third Brother has returned to Rongcheng? He, too, hasn't even returned home because of a quarrel with Fourth Brother, and is staying in an inn outside. Grandmother was planning to arrange a marriage for him, but if he doesn't come home, how can he meet a girl?"
"Don't worry, young lady. Perhaps the Third Young Master will reconcile with the Fourth Young Master soon, and then return to the palace to marry and have children."
The master and servant talked as they gradually walked away.
Yu Pingping tightened her handkerchief, and a sense of crisis quietly rose in her heart.
She was lucky enough to meet the Third Young Master today, and he also had a good impression of her. If she followed the Shen family caravan back to Chang'an tomorrow, wouldn't she be wasting this opportunity given to her by God, and her dream of wealth and glory would become a bubble?
no.
She can't go back to Chang'an, and the Third Young Master can't go back to the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion!
The girl had a plan in mind and quickly went to her room to rest.
After she left, Wen Xingluo and Cuicui came out from behind the banana tree.
Wen Xingluo looked at Yu Pingping's back with a cold look in his eyes.
…
Yu Pingping quickly packed up the banknotes and gold and silver jewelry, and without saying goodbye, she ran away from the Zhenbei Palace overnight.
She had been to the inn where Wen Rulei was staying during the day, so she was familiar with the way to the other party's room door and knocked on it with tears in her eyes, "Third Young Master!"
Wen Rulei looked at the crying girl and couldn't help but feel distressed. "Miss Chen, what's wrong? It's cold outside, come in and talk!"
Yu Pingping sat beside Wen Rulei's bed and choked up, "I had a fight with Le Zhi, and I ran away from home in anger. Now I have nowhere to go. Can the Third Young Master take me in? Pingping... Pingping won't cause any trouble for the Third Young Master."
Wen Rulei was secretly delighted, but with a concerned expression, he said, "I've met Chen Lezhi before. She has the same mischievous nature as my younger sister, and it's you who's wronged her. If Miss Chen doesn't mind, you can share a room with me. Don't worry, I'm a gentleman and won't take advantage of you."
Yu Pingping was also secretly delighted. She stood up, bowed, and said in a sweet voice, "Pingping thanks the Third Young Master!"
Her eyes were full of autumn water, so sweet that it seemed to drown a man's soul.
The person in front of her is the third son of the Zhenbei Palace. As long as she captures him, she will become the honorable third young master of the palace. No matter whether it is Wen Xingluo or Chen Lezhi, they can no longer drive her out of the palace.
Wen Rulei's Adam's apple rolled and he clutched the quilt unnaturally.
The person in front of him is the jewel in the crown of King Hanzhong. As long as he can win her over, he can become the King Hanzhong's son-in-law. The road to promotion is bright and he will be granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general in the near future. No matter whether it is Xie Guanlan or Xie Shian, they can no longer give him a cold shoulder.
Even Wen Xingluo would obediently return to him and continue to be his sister.
The candlelight is bright.
The shadows of the two people overlapped and fell on the floor tiles.
They looked at each other with tenderness and love.
