When Pei Wenxuan heard this, his expression didn't change. He looked at Su Ronghua coldly. Gu Chusheng and Pei Wenxuan were completely different. Gu Chusheng couldn't reconcile with Chu Yu because he had hurt Chu Yu. Pei Wenxuan, on the other hand, didn't hurt Li Rong at all except for helping Qin Zhenzhen behind Li Rong's back. If Li Rong gave him one point, he would return one point to Li Rong. If Li Rong gave him ten points, he would return ten points to Li Rong. He said, "Lord Su knows what he was doing just now. Lord Su himself didn't deserve this slap."
When Su Ronghua saw Pei Wenxuan's self-righteous questioning, he was stunned. "What did I do?"
"Your Highness's body is precious. Lord Su actually coaxed Your Highness to jump from such a high place. What if you fell?!"
"That …" Li Rong could tell that Pei Wenxuan was angry. He pulled Pei Wenxuan from the side. "I wanted to jump."
"Then why didn't he stop you?" When Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong still wanted to help Su Ronghua, he became even angrier. "You're the monarch and he's the subject. How can he follow your nonsense?!"
"You said it yourself," Su Ronghua immediately said. "She's the monarch and I'm the subject. If she wanted to jump, she asked me to catch her. How can I go against her words?"
"You …"
"Don't quarrel." Li Rong saw that the two were about to quarrel and quickly interrupted them. He said to Pei Wenxuan, "It's more important to find her. Let's go first."
As he spoke, Li Rong grabbed Pei Wenxuan's hand and dragged him out.
Pei Wenxuan originally wanted to argue with Su Ronghua, but when he saw Li Rong's glare, he calmed down a little. He felt that it was undignified to quarrel like this, so he followed Li Rong out. When the two reached the door, Pei Wenxuan suddenly stopped. He looked down and then looked back.
Li Rong followed his gaze and found a problem. the path they walked out of the courtyard. There were only two footprints on this path.... Obviously, no one had walked on it. the path.
The two looked up at Su Ronghua....... there. and Su.... and there were signs of broken branches.. the branches next to the branches.... were. apparently, someone's side's..... stepped... someone stepped.
Li Rong immediately walked towards Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua smiled and asked, "Your Highness, why did you come back?"
Li Rong ignored him and walked towards the straw frame. Su Ronghua raised his hand to stop him. Pei Wenxuan quickly stopped Su Ronghua and said, "Brother Su, I apologize to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Rong had already grabbed the edge of the straw frame. She raised her hand and pulled, but the straw frame remained firmly on the ground and did not move at all.
Li Rong narrowed her eyes and said, "Shangguan Ya, let go."
Shangguan Ya deliberately changed his voice and said, "What is this young lady doing? Why are you pulling my straw frame? "
"Shangguan Ya." Li Rong was sure it was Shangguan Ya. She stood up and kicked the straw frame, "I have something to talk to you about. Come out and talk."
There was a moment of silence. Pei Wenxuan guessed Shangguan Ya's worries and immediately said, "Miss Shangguan, don't worry. We're not here to arrest you for the Shangguan family."
Hearing this, Shangguan Ya decisively lifted the straw frame. She stood up and said, "Then why did you chase me for so long? You should have said so earlier. "
As she spoke, she turned to Li Rong. She raised her hand respectfully and said with a smile, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Rong looked at the spirited young girl in front of her and felt a little conflicted. The Shangguan Ya in front of her was very beautiful. She was dressed in men's clothing and her hair was let down. When she stood in front of Li Rong, she had an aura that was hard to come by.
Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong in a daze. He walked behind Li Rong and coughed lightly. He said to Shangguan Ya, "Why don't we move and talk?"
Shangguan Ya nodded and raised her hand, "Please."
As she spoke, Shangguan Ya turned around and cupped her hands to Su Ronghua, "Thank you, Young Master Su. See you another day. However … "
Shangguan Ya signaled Su Ronghua with her eyes. Su Ronghua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."
He smiled and looked at Shangguan Ya. He cupped his hands and said, "See you another day."
Shangguan Ya nodded and walked to the side to pick up the headscarf on the ground. She tied her hair up and led Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan to a tea room with familiarity.
Ju Cai Guan was favored by high officials and nobles not only because it was strictly managed and difficult to enter, but also because it was a casino that had everything. It was very convenient.
The three of them sat down in the tea room. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan sat on one side, and Shangguan Ya sat alone on the other side.
Li Rong looked at his palm with a fan while Shangguan Ya raised her hand to tidy her hair. Pei Wenxuan saw that the two girls were not talking, so he poured tea and asked, "How long has it been since Miss Shangguan arrived in the capital?"
"I arrived two days before the two of you got married."
Shangguan Ya smiled and looked at Li Rong. "Your Highness and I can be considered cousins. I came to the capital specifically to attend the ceremony. It was a pity that I couldn't personally congratulate Your Highness. I didn't expect to see Your Highness here today."
Shangguan Ya was still as domineering as Li Rong remembered. She went straight to the point. "I wonder what Your Highness wants to talk to me about in such a hurry?"
"Sister Ya should be seventeen this year, right?" Pei Wenxuan gave Li Rong a teacup and a cup of tea to Shangguan Ya.
Shangguan Ya nodded and said, "I just turned one month old."
"After I got married, Imperial Mother was worried about the Chuan'er's marriage. What does Miss Shangguan think about this?"
Shangguan Ya paused when she heard this. She thought for a moment and then smiled. "So Your Highness came for this matter. Your Highness wants to talk about the Crown Prince's marriage?"
"Yes." Li Rong didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I heard that the Shangguan Family wants you to be the Crown Prince's wife."
"Then Your Highness came here today." Shangguan Ya bent one leg and picked up the teacup. She turned to look at Li Rong. "Are you dissatisfied?"
"I …"
"But it doesn't matter." Shangguan Ya put down the teacup and smiled. "The Shangguan Family has plenty of young ladies. If Your Highness is dissatisfied with Ah Ya, you can tell my father directly. Sister Ah Wen also came to Huajing this time. As long as you are from the Shangguan Clan." Shangguan Ya turned her head and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Li Rong frowned. She could hear the dissatisfaction in Shangguan Ya's voice. She paused for a moment and then said slowly, "It's not that I don't think you are capable. It's just that the Shangguan Clan has been the Empress for three generations."
Li Rong looked up at Shangguan Ya and said seriously, "Sister, aren't you afraid?"
Shangguan Ya turned to look at Li Rong. She stopped smiling and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The Chuan Er and I are both from the Shangguan Family. Naturally, we will support the Shangguan Family unconditionally. But if you marry the Chuan Er, what do you think His Majesty will think?"
"Your Highness, your words are interesting." Shangguan Ya's eyes were cold. "His Highness the Crown Prince is from the Shangguan Family. Is His Majesty not from the Shangguan Family?"
"But the Chuan Er rules the world with benevolence and only seeks stability. Is His Majesty the same?"
Li Rong knew that Shangguan Ya wasn't completely ignorant of politics. Li Rong reminded Shangguan Ya, "Why do you think the Yang Family disappeared?"
Shangguan Ya didn't say anything. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Li Rong continued, "The Shangguan Family and the Chuan Er are already very close. In fact, there's no need for you to enter the palace to strengthen this relationship. The current marriage alliance is too ostentatious for His Majesty."
"So what you mean is," Shangguan Ya looked at Li Rong solemnly, "His Majesty wants to make a move on Your Highness now?"
Li Rong remained silent. Shangguan Ya continued, "Actually, it's useless for me to hear these words. This matter isn't up to me to decide. I'm just living happily one day at a time before they make a decision. Your Highness, "Shangguan Ya raised her hand and used tea in place of wine to raise her cup," If you want to talk about this, this humble girl will take her leave. "
As she spoke, Shangguan Ya finished drinking the tea, put it on the table, and got up to leave.
When she walked out of the door, she suddenly leaned back and said nervously, "Your Highness, you can't tell anyone that you met me here today."
Li Rong had a headache when he heard this. He waved his hand and told her to get lost.
After Shangguan Ya left, Pei Wenxuan sat beside Li Rong. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It seems that it's useless to make a move on Shangguan Ya."
"Not necessarily."
Li Rong stood up and walked out. His expression was calm as he said, "She will consider it."
If it was the Shangguan Ya she knew, her old friend, Shangguan Ya would most likely think of a way to deal with this matter.
As long as Shangguan Ya started to think of a way, she would help.
As Li Rong thought about this, he walked out with Pei Wenxuan. When Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong's gloomy expression, he couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem too happy?"
"That's not it." Li Rong smiled and said helplessly, "I just suddenly realized that there are many things that I don't seem to know about in my previous life."
"For example, Shangguan Ya?" Pei Wenxuan folded his hands in his sleeves. There was a hint of understanding in his expression.
Li Rong didn't say anything. She thought of Shangguan Ya in her previous life.
In her previous life, Shangguan Ya was already the Crown Princess when she met Shangguan Ya in Shangguan Ya's previous life.
At that time, Shangguan Ya would wear a bright palace dress every day to cover her eyes and brows. She was well-mannered, sensible, elegant, and graceful. She would only occasionally act recklessly in private.
She always thought that Shangguan Ya was a flower born in the palace. However, when she saw Shangguan Ya's bright eyes today, she suddenly understood that Shangguan Ya was like a person who had one foot in a coffin. From the moment she entered the palace, she used the lid of the coffin to firmly press herself inside.
She thought of Shangguan Ya's bright eyes just now and couldn't help but turn around. "Speaking of which," she suddenly remembered, "you seem to know her temperament?"
"I don't know if her temperament is like that." Pei Wenxuan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "But I know that she's definitely not a simple lady from a noble family. I wouldn't be surprised if she did anything."
"Oh?" Li Rong was rather curious. "What kind of interaction did you have with her in your previous life?"
"I didn't have any interaction with her, but I did with you." Pei Wenxuan said bluntly. "How could your friend be a lady from a noble family?"
Li Rong was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, she raised her hand and hit him with her fan. "What do you mean?"
Pei Wenxuan saw her fan coming at him and hurriedly dodged. Li Rong didn't know why, but when she saw him dodging, she couldn't help but chase after him and give him a pinch.
Pei Wenxuan dodged and retreated at the same time. He shouted, "A gentleman uses his mouth and not his fists. Watch your manners. Hey, hey, don't pinch your waist … Aiyaya, I'm going to die, I'm going to die. "
Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan pretending to howl and lean against the pillar. She couldn't help but laugh. She stopped and said, "Why are you so childish?"
"You have the nerve to ask me this?"
Pei Wenxuan leaned against the pillar and looked at Li Rong with a smile. "You're 18 years old this year. Are you the reincarnation of a monkey spirit?"
Li Rong froze. When Pei Wenxuan said this, she suddenly remembered her chase with Shangguan Ya today. She was a little embarrassed for a moment. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been back for a long time, especially when she saw her old friends, and her mentality seemed to be more and more like a little girl.
Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong's embarrassment and chuckled.
