Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

It was already late at night after the dinner. Elsewhere, Pei Guanlan returned to the palace, but did not send anyone hurriedly to call Pei Tingwen.

But it was not until the next day, when Pei Tingwen went to court and stopped by to pay her respects, that she mentioned what the maid had reported to her.

"Where were you last night?"

She sat on the main seat, drinking tea, and got straight to the point.

After a brief glance, my eyes fell on the sachet tied to the side of his waist - that's where he used to wear the jade pendant.

After giving away the jade pendant, his belt was empty for several days without wearing anything.

Then suddenly one day, there was a new thing in that empty place.

There is no need to be surprised at first. Without the jade pendant, it is not surprising to use the sachet as an accessory.

What's strange is that the little flowers embroidered on the back of the sachet don't look like his style at all.

It was like a token of love given to him by a girl, but when she asked, he didn't answer. He just casually said that it was given to him by a sensible child.

He did not mention who the specific child was.

Now think about it...

It turned out that the child he was talking about was the future third prince's concubine.

Wearing a crimson court uniform, Pei Tingwen, who has not yet had time to change, has an official hat held high, his face is like a crown jewel, he is a peerless talent, and he looks cold and ruthless.

When he is not smiling, his expression is always indifferent. The scar on his brow has cut off his gentle and elegant temperament, adding a bit of unruly and sharpness.

Facing Pei Guanlan's questioning, he lowered his eyebrows, as if he already knew what she was asking, poured tea and took a sip.

"What did sister know last night?"

"..." Pei Guanlan almost lost her breath when she saw how he didn't panic even after she found out.

"What do I know? What can I know? You took leave last night and didn't come to the dinner party just to meet a - a -"

"Did you know that she is the third prince's concubine? She is already on the queen's side!"

Pei Guanlan couldn't figure it out, no matter what.

How could he fall in love with someone——

Not to mention the identity, the age alone is inappropriate.

He is almost twice as old as someone else. Isn't it true that people of the uncle's generation are messing around?

"..." His fingertips slightly touched the cup body, and he raised his eyes. His dark eyes were cold and casual, "What are you thinking about?"

"Si... to me, the second girl is just a child, a little sister. I have no other intentions."

"You don't mean anything?" Pei Guanlan's eyes revealed the words "Do you believe me?" "You don't mean anything, you abandoned the palace banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival night and didn't attend. You even asked for leave from His Majesty and went there specially for this purpose. Play with her?"

"To be honest, I'm curious, when did your relationship with her become so good? Do you often see each other in private?"

If someone other than her happens to bump into her while inquiring about information——

She didn't know how long he would keep this from her.

"Then the jade pendant given by the master, did you give it to her? Did she also give this sachet to you? Have you made a private decision for life?"

"..." Pei Tingwen said nothing. He raised his right hand slightly, seemingly blocking his sachet accidentally.

Faced with the question, he remained calm and replied: "No, no, sister, please don't think too much, there is... nothing to do between us."

"It doesn't matter?" Pei Guanlan accurately caught his words, "Looking at your tone, do you want to have a relationship with her??"
