You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 105 Peeping

But she didn't care about fame.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. She was afraid that something might happen if she was not in the East Palace.

Besides, who in the capital doesn't know that the current crown prince will definitely marry her in the future?

But seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Liu Yiyi took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth:

"Yiyi knows. It was Yiyi who was inconsiderate."

Xiao Yun hummed lightly and said nothing more, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

He felt annoyed when he couldn't see Lin Zhaoyue.

I don't know whether she found the carriage or not.

You wouldn't be stupid enough to walk back to the East Palace!

Liu Yiyi felt uncomfortable in her heart, glanced at Xiao Yan, and then took a pill secretly while opening the car curtain.

After a while, Xiao Yan's irritability disappeared, and he even felt that it was inexplicable to think of Lin Zhaoyue just now.

But there is always a sense of emptiness somewhere deep down in my heart.

Like something is missing.

"Brother Yi, Yiyi is thirsty."

Hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Xiao Yan picked up the teapot on the carriage, poured a cup of tea, and put his fingers on the teacup to test whether it was hot.

Warm, just right.

"Thank you, Brother Ying."

As Liu Yiyi spoke, she reached out and took the tea from Xiao Yan's hand, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Her white fingertips touched his.

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes, took a look, and retracted his fingertips.

When he met Liu Yiyi before, he didn't feel anything, but now, he felt very strange.

It was like something was attracting him, but he was subconsciously rejecting it.

Lin Wan was strolling with Pei Jing when she saw the prince's carriage on the official road and glanced at it unconsciously.

Although the curtain was not completely opened, Lin Wan saw at a glance that there was another woman in Xiao Yan's carriage.

And that woman was none other than Liu Yiyi, whom she knew. She saw the two people’s hands touching each other on the teacup.

Suddenly, a feeling of injustice welled up in my heart.

Her sister had only been gone for less than a month, and Xiao Yan was already so intimate with another woman.

Although I have long known that Liu Yiyi is Xiao Yan's sweetheart, knowing and seeing are two different things.

I really don’t know what they are thinking as they are still dragging their feet and refusing to cancel the engagement.

Moreover, it seems that my father had a rift with the emperor because of Zhaozhao's broken engagement.

Pei Jing handed the lantern to Lin Wan, and seeing her staring at the prince's carriage in a daze, he said:

"what happened?"

Lin Wan retracted his gaze and shook his head.

"It's okay. Did you win this lantern?"

"Of course, don't you see who I am? How can a simple pot-tossing be difficult for me?"

Seeing his smug look, Lin Wan couldn't help but smile as well.

As she was laughing, she suddenly felt a strong gaze falling on her.

She frowned and subconsciously looked sideways, but found nothing.

Lin Wan sighed, feeling that he was a little suspicious today.

"I have booked a private room at Wangyue Tower. Where are we going to eat?"

Wangyue Tower is the property of the Pei family.

Lin Wan nodded.

The Moon-Watching Tower is by the lake. From the second floor you can see people boating on the lake. Today is the Flower Goddess Festival, so it is a great place to enjoy the scenery.

When the two arrived at Wangyue Tower, it was already packed with people, with almost no room left. The shopkeeper ordered people to set up more than a dozen tables outside.

The positioning of Wangyue Tower is that anyone with money can come to eat there, and everyone will be treated equally regardless of whether they are officials or merchants.

Therefore, Wangyue Tower's business has always been good.

If you spend more than one hundred taels of silver in Wangyue Tower in a year, you will be considered a VIP and have your own private room.

Of course, as the second owner of Wangyue Tower, Pei Jing has a separate box that is not open to the public.

As soon as Pei Jing and Lin Wan got off the carriage, they attracted everyone's attention.

In the carriage, a woman in a moon-white dress lifted the curtain and slowly got off the carriage.

The woman had clear eyebrows and eyes, her red lips slightly pursed, and a layer of cold aura shrouded her body. Her every move revealed her nobility and elegance.

After she got off the carriage, she stopped there, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, a luxurious carriage also stopped.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a man in red jumped down, his mouth curved, and he walked towards the woman with a lazy step.

It is unknown what she said, but the woman lowered her eyebrows slightly, curled her lips, and followed him into the building.

After the two of them entered, the people around them began to whisper:

"Who are they? They are so good-looking, they are simply a perfect match."

"You don't even know this? Do you know who owns Wangyue Tower?"

"Isn't it the Pei family?"

"It's the Pei family, for sure. The head owner of this Wangyue Tower is Young Master Pei, and the second head owner is Prince Pei. The one who just entered is Prince Pei."

"My eyes are blurry. I just saw Master Pei go in. How come there is another Master Pei?"

"The person you just saw was probably Young Master Pei. It is said that they are twins and look exactly the same. I have heard before that the owner of Wangyue Tower is very handsome. Today, I am really shocked to see him. Then who was he with just now? He looks very compatible with Young Master Pei."

"The eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, a famous talented woman in the capital, you don't even know her? She is engaged to Prince Pei."

"So that's the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion! I heard that the second daughter of the Duke's Mansion was kidnapped some time ago and fell off a cliff. She died miserably."

"That's not true. I heard that her thighs and arms were bitten by wild wolves. She was a healthy person, but she was gone just like that. She was going to become the Crown Princess in less than a month. What a pity..."

Everyone talked about the rumors about various families with great relish. They were happy to talk and the listeners were also happy.

As one of the parties involved, Lin Wan didn't hear what they were saying at all.

Pei Jing moved his ears, and seeing that Lin Wan looked normal, he took her upstairs directly.

The box is on the top floor and is very large.

The door was locked and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.

Pei Jing opened the door and took Lin Wan in.

There are mahogany tables and chairs, carved wooden screens, a guqin by the window, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

The decoration is elegant and exquisite.

Lin Wan recognized the painting as one by Pei Yanli at a glance:

"Did your elder brother draw this picture?"

Pei Jing frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Lin Wan for guessing who painted the picture so quickly:

"how do you know?"

Seeing his expression, Lin Wan teased:

"What's with that expression on your face? If I didn't know better I'd think you were jealous. Have you forgotten that I saw your older brother drawing when we went to the cabin?"

Pei Jing cast a deep and scrutinizing gaze on her. For a moment, he had a similar feeling to his older brother in the cabin, who had a very different personality from him.

Lin Wan suddenly felt a little uneasy.

That feeling of being watched came back.

She looked around warily, her throat tightening:

"Pei Jing, did you notice that someone seemed to be watching us?"

Pei Jing lowered his head slightly and reached out to pinch her face:

"There are only two of us here, how could there be anyone else? Wanwan, what happened to you today? It was the same at the Huguo Temple."

She was in Huguo Temple because she thought she saw Zhao Zhao, but here...

Lin Wan suddenly turned around, lifted the beaded curtain, and strode towards the inner room.

But there was nothing inside except a table, chairs, a beauty couch and a huge bronze mirror.

There is no trace of people.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you still upset about Zhaozhao's matter?"

Pei Jing said as he held her in his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead to comfort her.
