After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Mrs. Xie Jiu hadn't seen her son for many days, and she kept him around all the time.

This official uniform is indescribably handsome, making his son look even more handsome. There is also a faint sense of oppression when looking at people. This is... the power of an official, right?

I just don’t know why there was a depth between my brows that had never been there before.

Mrs. Xie Jiu looked at her son with a smile, but he was too thin.

This thin waist and back only last for a few years, and it is a handsome appearance that only belongs to young people. In a few years, the shoulders will become wider and the face will become more resolute, and then you will look like a man.

The smile on Mrs. Xie Jiu's face became more and more intense. She thought that she had to find a good marriage for such a top scholar.

One must be proficient in poetry, understand music, know painting, and have a beautiful appearance, only then can the zither and the harp achieve harmonious sound.

"Mother has traveled a long way from Chen County. You should rest early today." The thin and tall young man looked at the ground and spoke lightly, blocking the words his mother was about to say in his throat.

Madam Xie Jiu paused and said, "I didn't come to Yunjing to rest! Why did you agree to let me come? Did you marry a wife after passing the imperial examination?"

Xie Yunjie asked, "Which girl did mother like?"

Madam Xie Jiu moved a chair and sat down, telling the information of the women she had selected one by one as if they were her own treasures.

The boy could hear his mother's vision of planting flowers and grass with her daughters-in-law in the future. He stared at the engagement letters of these women and said, "It's up to mother to decide."

Madam Xie Jiu was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and felt relieved. Fortunately, she didn't follow her elder brother's example and send off the young without even leaving a successor...

"That won't work. You have to choose someone you like, someone who will be with you for the rest of your life, not me." Madam Xie Jiu said. Although she took the girl's family background into consideration, she couldn't just look at her family background.

When a couple gets along, some things are more important than family background and social status.

Xie Yunjie said, "It's up to mother and father to decide."

The one he likes will never have any intersection with him.

In this case, he will marry according to the etiquette of the world, and no matter who his wife is, he will give her respect, honor and care.

His mother is gentle and kind. If he marries a girl that his mother likes, his future life will be very smooth, and at least there will not be chaos in the inner house.

Growing up in a big family and knowing the secrets of the inner house, nothing is more important than harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xie Yunjie's voice was calm and indifferent, but his mother could see the dejection in his words.

After a conversation, Mrs. Xie Jiu suddenly realized that her son's deep and inexplicable temper meant that... he was in love for the first time.

But she didn't know that the person who made him fall in love for the first time was the one he would never get.

Madam Xie Jiu asked, "Son, do you... have a girl you like?"

The handsome young man stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and said, "No. It's up to mother to decide which lady to choose. I will go to Linyi to inspect the education administration soon, which may take at least a month, or at most two or three months. Mother should plan to return to Chen County as soon as possible, as it is not convenient to stay in my uncle's house."

"Ah!" Madam Xie Jiu was surprised and asked, "When did it happen? Why did you suddenly go to such a far place? Did you agree to it?"

After asking, he felt that he had asked in vain. If it was an errand sent by the emperor, his son would have no room for bargaining.

Xie Yunjie did not answer, not wanting to explain to his mother, and said, "Today, I will accompany you around Yunjing, and we will return to Chenjun tomorrow."

Madam Xie's eyes flickered as she asked tentatively, "In the Xie Mansion in Yunjing, did someone make you angry?"

Xie Yunjie smiled and comforted his mother, "No. Everyone in the Xie Mansion in Yunjing is respectful and polite. How could they treat their son harshly?"

He did not treat him harshly, but took good care of him.

It was him who felt indescribably upset after seeing the grandeur of the Xie Mansion in Yunjing.

Seeing everyone look amazed when they see him, but sighing with regret at the same time——

That guy in front of him, Mr. Xie, what a pity...

He became increasingly uncomfortable.

His brother Xie Yunji, a man like that, could make her say she didn't love him anymore...

Not to mention himself.

Xie Yunjie felt indescribably frustrated and powerless.

The young man's brows were furrowed with worry again, but he didn't want his mother to see it, so he stood up, lifted his robe, and walked out, saying, "Come on, your son will take you around Xie's house."

At the same time, Madam Xie Jiu was standing in the flower hall, looking at the magnificent garden of the Xie Mansion through the lattice window, and muttering to herself, wondering which lady this silly son has taken a fancy to?

*

In the sunny royal hunting ground, the woman rode a snow-white horse. She was wearing a bright red riding suit and a golden belt around her waist, which highlighted her slender waistline. She looked heroic, capable and neat.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, as soft as silk.

The white horse under her stood tall and straight, its fur as white as snow, forming a sharp contrast with the red on her body.

The sunlight shines on the grass, illuminating their figures, like a beautiful painting.

"You should take him to Linyi...he just won the third place in the imperial examination." Song Nihuan said.

"He asked to go. If I couldn't stand seeing him in my presence, I wouldn't have given him the title of Tanhua." Xie Tan said.

"You asked to go? Why?" She was stunned.

Xie Tan couldn't figure it out either. "I don't know. If he wants to go, let him go. Hey, you misunderstood me. You have to compensate me."

She smiled faintly, kicked the horse's belly and walked forward, leaving two words behind, "No."

“…Who do you think I am?”

"How could I do that?"

"I'm not that kind of person."

Xie Tan's voice was disheveled in the wind.

After a moment, he rode his horse to catch up with her, stared at her and whispered, "Why not do it?"

"Tell me, why don't you do it!"

At night, whispers could be heard from the silk tent.

“I can’t stand it anymore…”

"Can't you bear it? It hasn't even started yet." The emperor's voice was low.

"Don't give me those red gold headpieces, mermaid pearl crowns..." Song Nihuan's lower abdomen tightened, and her fingers gripping the brocade mattress turned white. She tried to say something to divert her attention.

"Don't reject me." He said softly. He couldn't afford to buy her anything before, but now he wants to buy her everything.

"I'm after your man..." she gasped.

"If you want to get me, just grab me and control me."

Song Nihuan's face was as beautiful as a crabapple blossom. She lay on the open window frame, and their two shadows entangled for a long time under the moon.

Thinking of her sudden return that night, Xie Tan still felt it was a dream...
