Chapter 98: Her Ningning is really attracted by beauty!
Wen Xingluo answered honestly, "I met the prince. I was a little sad because of my mother's matter, but luckily the prince comforted me just now."
Chen Lezhi showed an expression that said, "As expected."
She watched Wen Xingluo blow out a few candles, kick off his soft shoes and climb onto the bed.
The little girl's thoughts were written all over her face without any defense, and her joy was clearly visible.
She pulled the quilt over their legs and asked casually, "You and I are the same age. Has the Concubine Dowager proposed marriage for you? Ningning, do you have anyone you like now?"
Wen Xingluo was curious, "The one you like?"
"It's the man I like! I heard someone say that when you like someone, even if he doesn't do anything, just seeing him makes you happy! When you look him in the eye, your heart beats faster. When you hear a funny joke, you subconsciously look at him in the crowd. You really want to marry him and spend your life with him!"
Wen Xingluo pondered.
In her past and present lives, she had met many men and was taken by her grandmother to meet many princes and nobles.
But there was only one thing that made her happy and her heart beat faster.
She asked Chen Lezhi seriously, "If I'm just happy and my heart is beating fast, but I've never thought about marrying him, let alone spending my life with him, does that count as love?"
"Ah?!" Chen Lezhi was shocked and doubtful, "You like someone, but you haven't thought about spending your life with him?!"
Wen Xingluo recollected the situation carefully and said honestly, "He's very, very handsome and he saved me several times, so I did have a crush on him. Plus, I'm a selfish and overbearing person, so I had this thought and wanted him to treat me even more specially.
"I tried to get a response from him. I even greedily hoped that he would give me more affection than I did so that I could enjoy his kindness. But I also knew that this affection was not enough to support my desire to marry him. Life is very long, and marriage is a matter that should be taken with caution. Lezhi, I just want to enjoy the present, I don't think that far ahead."
Xie Guanlan is a person who wants to rebel.
If the ship of the Zhenbei Palace sank, she would have to run away.
After she said that, she happily patted the pillow and lay down.
Chen Lezhi was in a mess.
She stared at Wen Xingluo with wide eyes. The girl took out a travel book from somewhere and began to read it with relish, very focused on her own interests and hobbies.
"no?!"
Chen Lezhi became even more messy.
She had thought Wen Xingluo was deeply in love with that black-hearted guy, but after all this time, her Ningning was really attracted to him because of his beauty?!
These two people...
Who is more evil-hearted?
And that guy, does he know that Wen Ningning has played him a trick?
Chen Lezhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lay down quietly, and covered himself with his own small quilt.
It's late at night.
When Wen Xingluo fell asleep holding Chen Lezhi, the Canglang Pavilion was still brightly lit.
There were silver butterflies and ugly rabbits on the desk.
Xie Guanlan drafted the document and handed it to Fushan. "Send a pigeon to the King of Hanzhong and tell him to send someone to bring Chen Lezhi back immediately."
He really didn't like having outsiders in the house.
Fushan sent his men to do it, then came in and said, "Just now, news came from Yangcheng that Mu Shangming has taken up the post of prefect. He knew about Wen Qingsong's case and sent someone to ask the master for the person, saying that he wanted to personally try Wen Qingsong."
Xie Guanlan played with the ugly rabbit.
Although it was a bit ugly, the sewing was quite firm. No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't pull off the long ears.
Fushan looked at him secretly.
His master had developed a dignified and calm personality since childhood. At an age when he should have been playing Cuju or traveling, he had always been buried in reading and practicing archery and horse riding. It can be said that he had never touched a toy since he was a child.
How come at this age, I'm suddenly fiddling with a rabbit doll...
Seeing that Xie Guanlan remained silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Master?"
Xie Guanlan twisted his rabbit ears and raised his thin lips slightly, "It seems that there are also people from their group in the prison."
Fushan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
His master meant that there was a spy from the prefectural government in the Rongcheng prison. After Du Guanghong's death, that spy became Mu Shangming's man. He helped Wen Qingsong pass the information to Mu Shangming. It was probably very important information, and it was worth Mu Shangming's personal intervention to protect him.
Fushan was furious. "After Du Guanghong's death, our people combed through Rongcheng inside and out. We thought we had already eliminated all the spies, but we didn't expect there was still one hiding in the prison! I'll send someone to pull him out right now!"
Xie Guanlan played with the sewing rabbit.
When facing Wen Xingluo, he would feel a strange emotion that he could not control.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as he could control her, make her obedient, be his sister, and stay in his palm, there would be no problems and those strange emotions would be relieved.
The broad palm with thin calluses slowly holds the whole sewn rabbit.
Whatever is in his hands is his.
The weather was bad and gloomy the next day.
Gold Courtyard.
In the morning, Cuicui brought news from the Wen family, saying that Wen Rufeng and others had written a notice and posted it in the city, announcing that they had officially severed their father-son and father-daughter relationship with Wen Qingsong.
Cuicui also brought back a notice for Wen Xingluo to see, on which were solemnly stamped the fingerprints of Wen Rufeng and the other four, proving that Wen Qingsong was now alone.
Wen Xingluo found it funny.
These four people will not do anything without profit, and some of them are eager to sever ties.
She put away the notice, and she and Chen Lezhi got some swallowtail flowers and mixed rouge in the room.
After the rouge solidified, Chen Lezhi couldn't wait to try the color, so he picked up a lot with his little finger, dotted it on Wen Xingluo's eyebrows, and applied it on her cheeks and lips.
After looking at it for a while, she suppressed a smile and said, "It's a little darker."
Wen Xingluo looked at the bronze mirror.
It's not just darker, it's actually red as if it were smeared with blood, as if a child had just been eaten!
"Chen Lezhi!"
She laughed angrily, grabbed Chen Lezhi's hand, and wanted to apply it on herself as well.
The two were playing around when a little maid suddenly came in, "Princess, there's a letter from your mother in the front yard!"
Chen Lezhi hurriedly said: "Come on, take me to get it!"
As soon as she left, Fushan appeared and said, "Miss, the master wants you to come over."
Wen Xingluo glanced at the direction Chen Lezhi left and realized that Xie Guanlan was deliberately sending her away.
He probably has something important to find himself.
She said, "Lead the way."
Fushan led her into a spacious carriage, where Xie Guanlan was already sitting.
She asked, "Where are you taking me, brother?"
Xie Guanlan took the tea lid and slowly skimmed off the foam on the tea soup, "To see your father."
Wen Xingluo sat down across from him on the low table, "But what happened to him?"
Xie Guanlan glanced at her and couldn't help but frowning.
The little girl usually either wore no makeup or wore elaborate makeup, but today's makeup...
There was a bright red cinnabar dotted between her eyebrows, and two spots of bright red rouge on her cheeks. Her cherry lips, which were originally of the right shade, were now a terrifying crimson, just like a child who had just finished eating and had not had time to wipe his mouth.
Her makeup...
Thinking of the Hezi skirt that was popular in Chengdu last time, Xie Guanlan suspected that this was another newly popular makeup style.
Although he couldn't understand it, the little girl must have her reasons for dressing up like this.
