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

The room with floor heating was warm as spring. Song Nihuan looked at the letter that had been burnt to ashes, feeling very annoyed.

She had only been at the Xie residence for half a month when the Jiang couple wrote her a letter in which they threatened her with her true background and forced her to seek fame and fortune for Jiang's eldest son.

Not to mention that she and Xie Yunji have been treating each other with respect for the past half month. Even if they were a real couple, it would be impossible for her to gain fame and fortune for a playboy in such a short time, and the court does not have the surname Xie!

What's more, Miss Jiang's identity is fake. If she were an ordinary family, it would be fine. However, the Xie family has been entrenched in the capital for hundreds of years and has a deep and solid foundation. It is impossible that they can't even find out such a thing.

She was always feeling uneasy and had to escape before the truth came to light.

Song Nihuan's mind suddenly emerged the image of Xie Yunji coming to her room every day after court to sit for a while. He was a man of integrity and courtesy, a gentleman like jade, but after all, he was not the lover she was looking for.

At this time, the maid reminded that Xie Yunji had returned.

Song Nihuan looked out the window. He had changed out of his court robes, and was wearing a jade crown and a long gown with a crabapple pattern underneath a moon-white fox fur cloak. He walked alone in the snow, like a person in a painting.

"Cousin, you seem to be in a bad mood?" Xie Yunji lifted the door curtain to block the wind and smiled pleasingly, "Are you tired of staying in the mansion? It's almost the end of the year, and I've been busy with official duties, but fortunately it's over. There is a custom of hunting in the enclosures at the end of the year in the capital. I wonder if cousin Nihuan is interested?"

Song Nihuan took his fox fur coat and said calmly, "It's okay, sir, you don't have to worry about me."

"It's been half a month, why are you still calling me Young Master? If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they will think that I am dissatisfied with the marriage." Xie Yunji smiled gently, "Uncle Jiang has done a favor to my father, Ni Huan really doesn't need to be so formal. It was good enough that you called me Brother Zi Che that day."

What do you mean by “thinking” that he is unhappy with the marriage… Is he satisfied with this marriage?

Even a woman like Song Nihuan who had fallen into the brothel thought that Mr. Jiang's eating habits were ugly.

How could he be satisfied?

"Ni Huan?" Xie Yunji asked tentatively.

"Yes, Brother Ziche." Song Nihuan said perfunctorily.

Xie Yunji found that his nickname made her moan softly and tenderly, and his chest was filled with tenderness, but his face was as polite as always, "Very good."

He invited again, "Let's go to the hunting ground to relax. The snow scenery there is beautiful."

Song Nihuan was just worrying about not having any excuse to escape from the house, when she realized that his invitation seemed to be just what she wanted, so she nodded happily and smiled at him gently: "Okay."

Although it is midwinter, the cold wind is not as biting as before.

In the royal hunting ground covering an area of ​​10,000 square meters in the suburbs of Beijing, all the nobles are looking forward to the first hunting of the year.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew without any reason, raising a flurry of snow and stirring up the exquisite necklaces on the cloaks of the noble ladies in the capital.

Everyone looked up and saw a row of eunuchs coming from the snowy path approaching the stone steps, with their hands folded under their collars and reporting in a loud voice: "His Highness the Sixth Prince and Princess Le Yi are here!"

Song Nihuan bowed her head and saluted along with the other noble ladies around her.

Before coming, she didn't know there would be a hunting activity of this scale.

The ancestors of the Zhao Dynasty were a nation on horseback, good at riding and shooting, so there was a custom of hunting in autumn and at the end of the year. In autumn, there was the royal hunting, and near the end of the year, the royal family and the nobles would go out together, practicing martial arts and hard work to show the emperor's grace.

Song Nihuan lowered her head, standing on a sheltered platform in the hunting ground with the other women, and the sound of discussion around her continued:

"It's actually the Sixth Prince who came!"

"The Sixth Prince is the one with the highest chance of becoming the Crown Prince. If I could ride with him... that would be the best!"

"Why did you change your mind so quickly? What should Mr. Xie do?"

"Mr. Xie is really handsome and gentle. He is indeed easier to get along with than His Highness the Sixth Prince. I really can't make a choice at this moment..."

As the noble ladies were talking, Song Nihuan saw a group of young masters from aristocratic families leading their horses towards the platform not far away.

The leader was wearing a dark blue brocade cloak, with upright manners and a slender figure, which made the eunuchs serving beside him look even more hunched.

He swiftly jumped onto his horse, put the arrow feathers handed to him by the eunuch into the quiver, and then he kicked the horse's belly and galloped forward.

I think this is the Sixth Prince. The girl beside the Sixth Prince looks heroic and must be Princess Le Yi.

The eunuchs and servants at the hunting ground have arranged everything, waiting for the gentlemen to select their horses and then have a competition.

After the competition, you can go to the racecourse with a group of noble ladies to run and warm up your body.

This is also a good opportunity for unmarried men and women to make friends.

For some reason, Xie Yunji had not come over. He was originally a civil servant, and he probably participated in the hunt just to ride a horse to warm up. Therefore, the Sixth Prince did not wait for him. He gave an order and rode his horse into the dense forest with the other young masters of the aristocratic families, raising a cloud of dust.

The cold wind raised by the horse blew on Song Nihuan's face like a knife. She frowned and remained silent, but her mind was full of thoughts.

This time she wanted to take the opportunity to escape, so she did not dress up properly. The women around her were all beautiful, which made her, who was dressed in simple clothes, look as elegant and refined as a lotus in clear water.

The woman next to her looked at her and asked, "Who is this?"

"I haven't seen it. It seems that it has never been here in previous years."

Song Nihuan smiled faintly and did not answer. She didn't want to leave an impression on anyone, which would make it difficult for her to escape.

"Looking at the way she's dressed, she doesn't look like she has any family background. I don't know how she got in here. If no one chooses her to go with us, then there will be something interesting to watch."

Her ears did not hear their discussions. Song Nihuan looked around but still could not see Xie Yunji. This was the best time to escape!

Princess Le Yi looked towards the girl in the crowd.

It was a face I had never seen before. Her cheeks were red from the cold wind, and there was a faint blush on the tip of her nose. Even though she was wearing plain clothes, she looked pitiful.

Who is this woman with such a beautiful appearance?

"Princess, you will be riding with Master Xie later, right?"

"Of course, it happens every year." The woman at the side said with a smile, "Why don't you see Master Xie?"

"Just now there was some official business in the Hanlin Academy that needed Lord Xie to handle. He will be back soon." The princess said lightly.

These words also reached Song Nihuan's ears.

The bright sunlight cast golden light. Under the warm winter sun, the noble ladies on the high platform walked towards the ski field in groups of two or three. No one noticed a plain figure quietly leaving.
