Extraordinary Marriage (2)
The boys read in the study room in the morning and went to the martial arts field to practice martial arts in the afternoon.
Yuan Heng was the first one to arrive, and he was concentrating on pulling his bow and shooting arrows.
He liked to study since he was a child and practiced martial arts mediocrely. However, after practicing for many years, he was able to ride and shoot. He drew a bow a hundred steps away, and seven or eight out of ten arrows could hit the bull's eye.
Pei Nian felt depressed when she saw Yuanheng's figure, so she simply hid far away. She didn't talk to Yuanheng all afternoon.
Yuan Heng deliberately got close to him and came over to guide Pei Nian to shoot arrows.
Pei Nian had a tense face: "Thank you for your good intentions, I can practice it myself."
Yuanheng was not bothered. His mother discussed with him a few days ago that she would go to the palace today to express her intention to marry Empress Dowager Pei.
After lunch, Empress Dowager Pei called Pei Si to speak... Looking at Pei Nian's appearance, she obviously knew it too.
Pei Nian is nine years younger than him. Yuan Heng is already a gentle young man, and Pei Nian is about the same as a child in his eyes. Pei Nian is unhappy with a long face, and Yuan Heng doesn't take it seriously.
Yuan Heng smiled and said, "You used to call me cousin Yuan Heng, why did you call me the prince today?"
Pei Nian continued to frowned: "I used to be young and ignorant, and I was too rash and reckless. The prince's status is noble, so I shouldn't offend him at will."
Yuan Heng curled his smile and sighed: "It would be fine if others say such things, but why did you even poke my heart like this? What is the situation in the palace by the prince of Qin? Others don't know, don't you?"
Pei Nian: "..."
Pei Nian is a kind-hearted child. He felt that Yuan Heng wanted to steal his sister, so he looked at him coldly.
After Yuan Heng said this, Pei Nian felt guilty and couldn't hold back her face. She apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now."
What a coaxing kid.
Yuan Heng thought silently in his heart, and sighed again: "It is not convenient to speak here. I will leave later. You go to my bedroom. Let's talk carefully for a while."
Pei Nian refused but had to agree.
...
That night, Pei Nian came to see Pei Si with red eyes.
Pei Si frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you? Who bullies you?"
Pei Nian sniffed: "No one bullies me."
"Your eyes were red, and you looked like you had cried at first glance." Pei Si's face was slightly dark: "Who bullied you?"
Pei Nian replied in a low voice: "I'm going to Cousin Yuanheng. Cousin Yuanheng talked to me about the various sufferings in his life. I felt uncomfortable when I heard this, and I cried with Cousin Yuanheng. My eyes became like this."
Then he sighed: "I always think that life is not easy for me, but now I think about it, Yuan Heng's cousin is even more pitiful. His father made a big mistake back then and saved his life by chance, but he was crazy. He has been cautious in his words and actions since he was a child and did not dare to make a mistake."
"The King of Qin has been locked up in the Qin Palace. Cousin Yuanheng usually studied in the palace and only went to see his father once a month. It is better not to have such a father."
"Hey, Yuan Heng's cousin is so old that he hasn't even married a wife, which is very pitiful. Otherwise, my sister would agree to marry Yuan Heng's cousin!"
Pei Si: "..."
Pei Si didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, so he paused for a moment before saying, "You were still angry at noon and asked me to ignore him. Why are you trying to marry him again?"
Pei Nian wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve: "I think Yuanheng's cousin is straightforward and honest, and kind-hearted. If you marry him in the future, he will definitely treat you well."
Pei Si was so amused and laughed, so he pointed Pei Nian's forehead with his finger: "Okay, don't make noise in my ears. I have to think about this matter slowly, don't agree to it randomly for me."
Pei Nian then stopped talking.
Pei Si urged Pei Nian to take a shower and change his clothes. He sat on the chair for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more confused.
She picked up a pen and wrote a short note, which she sent to Yuanheng’s bedroom.
Although they all live in the palace, the palace is very large. The bedroom where Yuanheng lives is quite far from Renhe Palace. It was so late, with Pei Si's caution, it would never be possible to see Yuanheng at night and leave a private message to him.
Even when I gave this short note, Pei Si specifically reminded the palace servants not to let people know.
After sending the notes out, Pei Sicai took off his worries and went to bed.
Yuan Heng, who had received the short note, couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
He lay on the bed, tweaked the exquisite letter and looked at it again and again. Finally, he carefully placed it in the dark bag on his chest, and then slowly fell asleep with a dream in his arms.
...
The next day is noon.
Pei Si and his brother came to Yuanheng's bedroom together.
Pei Nian was coaxed to be his brother-in-law one night. He blinked at Yuanheng, and then smiled and avoided several meters away.
Yuanheng felt that his future brother-in-law was so good and he felt happy.
Pei Si raised his eyes, and smiled at the corners of his lips: "Cousin Yuanheng, do you think A Nian is very good at coaxing and cheating?"
Yuanheng: “…”
This sounds wrong.
Yuan Heng restrained his smile and said to Pei Si seriously: "Cousin, don't get me wrong. What I said to A Nian last night was true, and there was no intention of lying to coax him."
Of course, it is true that he wants to win over his future brother-in-law to his own camp first.
Pei Si said lightly: "I know very well what abacus you are doing. Yuanheng, we have known each other for four years and we are familiar with each other."
"However, I never thought that you would want to marry me as your wife. The Princess Qin personally went to ask the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother mentioned the marriage to me. I also agreed to the Queen Mother and wanted to consider it for a while."
"When I think it through, I will naturally reply to you. Please keep a distance during this period of time and do not try to interfere with and influence me with the will of anyone."
"If I nodded, it must be because I am willing to marry you, not because of anyone."
The fourteen-year-old girl talked about her lifelong affairs without any shyness, calm attitude, and her tone was as natural as saying, "The weather is really good today."
No matter how Yuan Heng thought about it, he never expected that Pei Si would have such a reaction.
He was speechless and looked at Pei Si silently.
Pei Si was also looking at him, her black eyes were bright and calm: "I want to write a letter to tell my parents first and ask them what they want. As for myself, I have to think about it for at least two months."
"If you are willing to wait, just wait for me. If you are unwilling to wait, please ask Princess Qin to find another marriage for you..."
"Of course I'm willing! Not to mention two months, I'm willing even if I wait for a year." Yuan Heng interrupted Pei Si without thinking: "If you think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry at all."
