Chapter 190 Wen Xingluo confirmed that the person in front of him was still his beloved
Everyone in the Zhenbei Palace looked at the brother and sister in surprise.
After a long silence, Xie Jing spoke first, "Well, let me remind you again, little girl, don't call me daddy casually. It's inappropriate! Also, today's coming-of-age ceremony was originally held specifically for Ningning. If she hadn't come, there would be no need for this banquet to go on. As for your talk of teaching her a lesson, that's nonsense! Ningning is so favored in our family, how could we possibly think of ways to teach her a lesson?"
"Specially held for Wen Xingluo?" Wen Yueyin frowned. "Daddy, what are you talking about? Wen Xingluo and I were born from the same mother. Today is her coming-of-age ceremony, and it's also mine. What do you mean it's specially held for her?"
Xie Jing didn't like dealing with her, so he could only look at the old concubine.
The old concubine sneered, "You? You're just a guest staying at the palace temporarily, not my granddaughter. Why should I hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you? It's ridiculous!"
Tears welled up in Wen Yueyin's eyes.
She looked at the Zhenbei King and his mother in disbelief, not understanding why the two people who loved her so much in her previous life had changed their nature in this life and only loved Wen Xingluo.
She yelled, "It must be Wen Xingluo who said something bad about me in front of you! She's the worst person, she wants to take everything from me!"
Wen Rufeng felt very distressed.
He looked at Wei Si and said in a deep voice, "Mother, Yueyin and Xingluo are both your daughters. How can you favor one over the other? Women should obey their husbands and their sons after marriage. Now that your father is gone, you should listen to me, your eldest son. I am here to make the decision. Wen Xingluo is having a grand ceremony today, so Yueyin should not be left out either!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a foot suddenly appeared behind him!
"Screw your pomp!" Xie Shian kicked him to the ground. "Today is my sister's coming-of-age ceremony. What does it have to do with you? What are you putting on such a show here?!"
Wen Rufeng was caught off guard and fell to the ground in a mess, covering his butt and turning to look at him.
Wen Rulei's expression turned grim, "Xie Shian?!"
Xie Shian ignored him, brought Wen Xingluo to him, and said sweetly, "Grandma, Dad, I rushed back from the border and came specially to attend my sister's coming-of-age ceremony!"
After the trials and tribulations of the battlefield, he grew taller, his body became stronger, he became more resolute and less spoiled than a dandy nobleman.
The old concubine and others were very surprised. They pulled him around and looked him over, chatting with him for a while.
The old concubine said lovingly, "You're back just in time. Your sister's coming-of-age ceremony will be even more lively! Nanny Chen, let's get started now!"
Nanny Chen understood and took Wen Xingluo by the hand, wanting to take her to change clothes.
Wen Yueyin stopped them with red eyes, "What about me?! Who am I?! Why does Wen Xingluo have a coming-of-age ceremony but I don't?!"
After all, she is a junior, and it would be disgraceful for the old concubine and others to argue with her.
So Xie Shian stood up and said impatiently: "You? You are nothing at best! Get out of here right now!"
"You——" Wen Yueyin was choked and could only desperately pull Wen Rufeng, "Brother, look at him..."
Wen Rufeng wanted to stand up for her, but his butt was still aching from being kicked, so he lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Amidst the almost envy-filled jealousy of the Wen brothers and sisters, the coming-of-age ceremony officially began.
The old concubine came out in person and served as the main guest.
Wen Xingluo performed the coming-of-age ceremony quietly, her eyes falling among the guests, but until the ceremony was over, she still couldn't find the familiar figure.
He won't come.
She thought.
At this time, Canglang Pavilion.
Fushan looked at the robes scattered on the floor and picked them up one by one helplessly. "Master, the young lady has already finished her coming-of-age ceremony at this hour. You are already late."
A figure changing clothes was reflected behind the screen.
Xie Guanlan said nothing and just kept changing his clothes.
He returned home with Xie Shi'an.
I was just in a hurry on the road and hadn't taken a shower for many days, so I was dirty.
He returned to Canglang Pavilion to bathe, intending to choose a more respectable robe to change into, then fumigate and comb his hair, and then go to the coming-of-age banquet. However, he had grown an inch or two taller in the northwest's sandstorms, and his old robes no longer fit him.
Fushan hugged another robe thrown from above the screen and collapsed, "Master, please be patient. I have already asked the embroiderer to re-cut the dress according to your measurements. It will be finished in the next two days!"
His eldest son is so particular about dressing up. Those who know him know that today is the young lady’s coming-of-age ceremony, while those who don’t know him would think that it is his eldest son’s!
The person behind the screen ignored him.
About another stick of incense had passed before Xie Guanlan finally found a wearable robe.
He did not go to the coming-of-age banquet, but went straight to Xiejinyuan to wait for Wen Xingluo.
Wen Xingluo came back with Xie Shian.
The young man recounted his experiences on the battlefield, boasting about himself to the skies. "...You don't know, my eldest brother has been in danger many times, and I've always risked my life to save him! Once, he and a few followers were out scouting the terrain, and they were surrounded by 30,000 enemy soldiers. Guess what? I only had a hundred cavalrymen with me, but I wiped out those 30,000 enemies and rescued him!"
Wen Xingluo suddenly stopped.
Xie Shian: "Another time, my eldest brother attacked a city, but unfortunately the enemy's defense was very strong. After seven days of attack, he couldn't break in! So I had an idea. I took ten of my trusted men and swam into the city from outside the moat. We climbed the city wall in the dark and killed the enemy defenders!"
Spring is coming to an end, but the fragrance of flowers still lingers in the wind.
Wen Xingluo looked at the young man standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back.
He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, wearing a black robe and a jade belt. He had a casual figure and a noble demeanor. His bone structure was superior and his nose was straight, just like the most wonderful stroke in the calligraphy of the sage. Although his eyebrows and eyes were too gorgeous and deep, the baptism of the battlefield and the wind and sand gave him a bit of murderous savagery that was unfamiliar to Wen Xingluo.
Their eyes met.
Wen Xingluo suddenly picked up her skirt and ran over like a little animal.
She ran to Xie Guanlan and looked up at him.
The coldness and bloodiness between the young man's eyebrows gradually melted under the girl's gaze.
Wen Xingluo sniffed the sandalwood scent on him.
As if confirming that the man in front of her was still her lover, she threw herself into the young man's arms.
No looking back.
Xie Guanlan took a deep breath and gently placed his big hand on the girl's lower back, restraining himself from using any force.
The courtyard was silent, with only the tinkling of the bronze wind chimes on the eaves.
Xie Shian looked at this scene with relief and couldn't help but smile brightly.
As he was laughing, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
No, didn’t Ningning say that there are differences between men and women?
Why is there no difference between her and Big Brother?!
