Chapter 261 He didn't allow us to see Ningning, so he went there secretly.
After not seeing her for several months, the girl has become more and more charming and beautiful, with cloud-like hair, mist-like hair, snow-white skin and beautiful face, just like a dewy peony trembling on a branch. The spring breeze blows her tender pink skirt, like the folded petals stretching out in their most beautiful state.
His eyes fell on her bun.
She wore two deep red and light pink palace flowers in her hair, and did not wear the butterfly hairpin he gave her.
His fingertips unconsciously clenched the amulet, and Xie Guanlan's eyes seemed to be filled with a terrifying deep darkness, as if to devour the delicate and soft girl.
Xie Shian squeezed to the window and saw Wen Xingluo.
His eyes lit up and he shouted in surprise, "Brother, come and see, isn't that our Ningning?! Let's go play with her!"
Before he could move his feet, Xie Guanlan said coldly, "You are not allowed to go."
Xie Shian was unconvinced, "Why not? I haven't seen Ningning for a long time, and I miss her so much! And my grandmother specifically told us to come to the capital and take good care of Ningning!"
Xie Guanlan said indifferently, "You are not allowed to go."
Xie Shian didn't dare to disobey him, so he could only quietly tug at Xie Yanchen's sleeve.
Xie Yanchen coughed lightly and said gently, "Big brother doesn't allow me to go, so I'll go over to see my sister. I haven't seen her for months, so I have to let her know she's safe."
Xie Guanlan: "You are not allowed to go either."
"Big brother, you're so overbearing!" Xie Shian sat down angrily, his face in his hands, and glanced at Xie Guanlan's brocade robe with displeasure. "You're not happy that Ningning abandoned you, so you also forbid us to see her. But if you really hated Ningning, why did you go straight to the clothing store after arriving in the capital..."
The three brothers arrived in the capital the day before yesterday.
He and his second brother both said they wanted to go directly to the palace to see Ningning, but his eldest brother refused. Instead, he spent a day visiting the most expensive clothing store in the capital, saying that he wanted to buy a few sets of spring clothes and shoes.
Just buy it. He also thinks the clothes in the capital are more beautiful than those in Shu County.
But he had just set his eyes on a red brocade robe embroidered with pine and crane patterns, and was planning to wear it to the palace to meet Ningning. His second brother also said that he looked good in it, but it was snatched away by his eldest brother!
He really couldn't understand why his eldest brother threatened to have nothing to do with Ningning, but at the same time dressed up like a peacock, outshining him and his second brother!
Xie Shi'an and Xie Yanchen were forced to stay in the pavilion and deal with the young masters of noble families in the capital.
When they came to their senses, Xie Guanlan had disappeared from the window.
Xie Shian was suspicious, "He didn't allow us to go see Ningning, so could he have gone there secretly?"
Xie Yanchen arched his brows, "That's possible."
At this time, in the Imperial Garden.
As soon as Wen Xingluo arrived at Chaofeng Pavilion, he ran into Xie Xiang and Xie Mingrui.
The two were princes and princesses, and were surrounded by many young men and women of the same age. When they saw Xingluo passing by, they all looked at her with amusement.
A young man stood by Xie Xiang's side, offering her flower cakes in a flattering manner. "I heard she's become Her Highness's dog. I wonder what kind of dog she is? Why don't you let her bark a few times to liven things up for us?"
Xie Xiang thought of the note she and her brother had exchanged, and she couldn't hide the pride on her pretty face.
She raised her chin towards Wen Xingluo and confidently ordered, "Hey, did you hear that? Why don't you yell twice for everyone to hear?"
There was laughter in Chaofeng Pavilion.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on Wen Xingluo, with undisguised malice.
A tall figure quietly appeared on the blue brick path beside Chaofeng Pavilion.
It’s Xie Guanlan.
He walked past behind Chaofeng Pavilion with a cold face.
The little girl didn't seem to be doing well without him.
If she was willing to submit to him, he would be willing to help her solve her problems.
However, Wen Xingluo did not notice Xie Guanlan.
She looked at Xie Xiang and the others expressionlessly, "I wonder how I, your Highness, have offended you to deserve such humiliation."
Xie Xiang was stunned.
She and Xie Mingrui looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why Wen Xingluo suddenly looked so difficult to deal with.
Without time to think too much, Xie Mingrui scolded with cold eyes, "Your mother married the emperor three times, don't you feel ashamed?!"
Wen Xingluo: "What are you ashamed of?"
"A woman should be faithful to her husband, but your mother shamelessly remarried! If I were you, I wouldn't even be able to face anyone! You lowly bastard, being a dog for me and my sister is a real honor!"
Wen Xingluo looked at Xie Mingrui.
He has a fair complexion and is a very handsome young man.
But I don't know why he is so malicious towards her.
She scoffed. "If remarriage is shameful for a woman, then what's the point of a man taking a wife and a concubine? Just because men hold power in this world, do we have to create a set of rules, etiquette, and moral ethics specifically for women to constrain and control them?"
When the girls present heard this, they couldn't help but suppress the mocking smiles on their faces.
There was a bit more inquiry in their eyes when they looked at Wen Xingluo, and some of the bolder ones could hardly hide their admiration.
"What's more..." Wen Xingluo scoffed. "Even the Emperor doesn't care about these things, yet His Highness the Ninth Prince, who hasn't even reached adulthood, keeps talking about integrity and loyalty. How can someone so young be so pedantic?"
"you--"
Xie Mingrui choked, and his pretty face suddenly flushed with shame and anger.
"If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
Wen Xingluo bowed and was about to leave.
Two palace maids stopped her in her tracks.
Xie Xiang's expression was grim. "Did this princess let you go?!"
Wen Xingluo narrowed her round almond eyes.
It seems that the brother and sister can't convince her with reason, so they want to use their fists to settle the matter.
Not far away.
Xie Guanlan stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy.
He walked past the back of Chaofeng Pavilion, but Wen Ningning didn't even notice him.
In the end, the little girl no longer has him in her heart.
He glanced towards Fengting.
No matter how eloquent Wen Ningning was and how she reasoned, she could not defeat the powerful people in the palace.
Next, I'm afraid I will be bullied by Xie Xiang's siblings.
He took a deep breath.
Although he had made up his mind not to have anything to do with the girl anymore, he was willing to help her this time because of her filial piety to her grandmother - as long as she asked.
So Xie Guanlan returned the same way and pretended to pass by again casually.
Wen Xingluo was so focused on Xie Xiang and his sister that he didn't notice that there was a person walking back and forth on the bluestone path behind Chao Fengting.
She said calmly, "I heard that the princess has a special liking for the young master of the He family. Today, the imperial concubine intends to arrange a marriage for the two of you. The He family is noble and respects rules. If I were the princess, I would never choose today to cause trouble. Otherwise, if Young Master He saw it..."
When Xie Xiang heard her mention He Yu, he subconsciously looked around.
Although she didn't see anyone, she was still a little frightened and scolded, "Stop spouting alarmist rhetoric!"
Xie Mingrui's eyes were gloomy.
The girl he liked died in the Zhenbei Palace. He didn't know how much Wen Xingluo was involved, but this girl was so cunning that Zhiqiu was afraid that she had suffered a lot at her hands.
He was determined to make Wen Xingluo pay the price, so he shouted without hesitation: "Come here, arrest her!"
Behind Chaofeng Pavilion, Xie Guanlan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Just as he was about to show up, a roar suddenly came from a distance:
"Let's see who dares!"
Wen Xingluo looked over subconsciously.
A young man in a goose yellow brocade robe came quickly, with his ponytail raised high, looking arrogant and unruly.
