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

Within a day, they arrived at the Tea and Wine Jiangnan in the evening. Song Nihuan had just taken a nap in the carriage and now was a time of plenty of energy. She lifted the curtain and squinted her eyes to look into the distance.

The sun was setting, and the golden residual warmth swept across the vast land inch by inch. Wherever the sight reached, a city stood proudly.

This is the fertile land throughout the dynasties.

The warm breeze brushed across her cheeks, and Song Nihuan had a faint smile on her face. This was the first time in more than 20 years that she had been to such a far place.

Unlike men, women have very few opportunities to go out. Many women in the inner chambers never leave the place where they live throughout their entire lives.

So Song Nihuan felt that she was really lucky to be able to see what Yunzhou City looked like!

Behind her was a young man who was staring at her infatuatedly. As he looked at her delighted expression, a slight curve appeared on his thin lips.

As long as she is happy.

It’s not that he wanted to do anything by riding in the same car with her, but there were other people around and she was too proud to show off, so she always kept a distance from him and no longer responded to his gaze.

He felt uncomfortable when she didn't look at him.

Xie Tan moved closer and put his arms around her waist from behind, feeling her warmth and softness in his arms, an intimacy that he had not experienced in a long time.

This time he was traveling incognito, and there was supposed to be no one to greet him at the long pavilion, but there was a neatly lined up people.

Xie Tan's expression changed slightly, and he took her hand and got off the carriage.

The leader was well-dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor. He was about forty years old. When he saw Xie Tan, he wanted to bow, but Xie Tan waved his hand.

The man bowed and saluted: "Mr. Xiao."

Xie Tan nodded, "Thank you for troubling the city lord these days."

"I said goodbye to Master Xiao and met him again today. I have many feelings." The city lord's eyes were bright, as if there were too many words in his heart that were difficult to express. However, due to Xie Tan's incognito status, he could not say it clearly, so he only said, "I will do my best to fulfill what Master Xiao said in the letter."

Xie Tan nodded and said no more. He took Song Nihuan's hand and walked towards the city gate. Feng Mian and the guards followed closely behind.

Looking at their backs, the servants behind City Lord Lei couldn't help but smack their lips: "Whose son is this? Is he from some noble family?"

"The young master is so dignified, and his concubine is so beautiful. Who is he that needs our city lord to come and greet him in person?"

Lei Tingyun looked at the young emperor and felt deeply moved.

More than a year ago, when he was leading a caravan passing through Xining, he was detained and imprisoned for no reason by the governor. He spent days in prison in darkness. It was not until the general of the Zhenjun army stayed overnight in Xining and noticed that the governor was abnormal that he managed to rescue those who were detained for no reason.

Everyone thought that another bandit leader had arrived, but he actually let them go home without taking a penny.

It was not until the General of Zhenjun proclaimed himself emperor that he knew who had rescued him.

After Xie Tan proclaimed himself emperor, there were bound to be accusations that he was not legitimate. Scholars were more particular and attached great importance to bloodline and so-called righteousness. The Xie family, which was the leader of the clean civil officials, was very ambiguous about the identity of the new emperor and did not have much resistance. However, other pedantic literati could not avoid it, and they wrote many letters to criticize the new emperor for his brutal usurpation of the throne and regicide.

At this time, Lei Tingyun knew that his chance to repay his gratitude had come.

He wrote an article praising the new emperor for his utmost filial piety in burying the late emperor with great ceremony, saving the people from danger many times, and promoting the humble and virtuous. He used the reputation of the "Jiangnan Lei Family" to endorse the new emperor's character.

And before the news spread among the people, Crown Prince Xiao Xuan did not speak out, so why are you irrelevant people cursing and swearing?

This suppressed the different voices.

Xie Tan looked down at the jade-like hand in her hand and was in a good mood. She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with him, but he didn't let her do so.

Sooner or later he would let everyone in Dazhao know that she was the one he loved the most.

Song Nihuan looked at Xie Tan, then looked at him holding her hand tightly, and found it funny.

He saw a smile on her face, and although he didn't know what she was laughing at, he started laughing too.

As soon as they entered Yunzhou City, they saw a huge crowd of people, rubbing shoulders with each other, and there were rows of vendors and merchants, which really looked prosperous. They walked on the arch bridge, and from time to time, black-sailed boats passed by under the bridge. On the boats, talented people were reciting poems and couplets, and there were also exotic dancers selling fine wine.

Song Nihuan opened her eyes wide and said with emotion: "It's so lively..."

"Is Yunjing not lively?" Xie Tan asked.

"It's lively. But different from the liveliness here," she thought.

He looked at her with a smile.

"Wow, what is this?" Song Nihuan asked as she walked. When she saw something new, she wanted to let go of Xie Tan's hand, but he pulled her back.

"Let's go together if you want to see something. There are too many people here and I'm afraid you might get lost." He explained seriously and shook her hand.

Song Nihuan suddenly stopped and whispered to Xie Tan with difficulty: "I, I'm not wearing a veil..."

In the past, if one wanted to go out in the Xie family, he or she must be accompanied by a maid or servant, and they must wear a veil to cover their face.

I haven't been out for a long time and I almost forgot about it.

Her breath was as soft and tender as orchid, and Xie Tan felt his ears getting hot and his heart itchy.

He managed to answer, "Can you still see clearly with that on? No need to wear it."

She looked up at him and said in shock, "Really not necessary?"

"No need." He affirmed.

Of course not. A queen is supposed to be radiant and she will be the mother of the country in the future. Why should she be afraid of people seeing her?

Song Nihuan looked back at Feng Mian and her daughter, only to see that they were also not wearing anything.

It turned out that she was the only one trapped.

At that moment she smiled knowingly, and all the things that she had been unable to understand in the past suddenly became clear.

The atmosphere of the market is very contagious. When the lights come on, they blend into the lively atmosphere.

Xie Tan is now extremely wealthy. He is no longer the boy who could only save money to buy her a silver hairpin. He orders people to buy whatever she wants. The guards following him are so full of boxes that they can't even hold them all.

It’s such a fulfilling feeling to buy something for the woman you love!

In fact, they were all useless little gadgets, the ones that women liked. She had never asked him for anything, so was she buying these today because they were cheap?

Xie Tan's heart suddenly felt sour and bitter. She didn't want to spend his money, nor did she want a name. Maybe she didn't want to have too many entanglements with him...

"Your husband is so good to you and so generous!" The vendor handed the packaged cheese to Song Nihuan and praised her.

Song Nihuan took it and tasted it. It was too sweet, not what she had imagined. She was hesitating whether to force herself to eat the rest of the cheese. Xie Tan took it with a smile, and naturally put the cheese she had eaten into her own mouth, and even reached out to wipe off the sugar stains on her lips.

Somehow, Song Nihuan's heart felt like butter, sweet and soft.

She dragged him around, looking around here and there, and suddenly realized that she had lost contact with Feng Mian and the others.

Xie Tan praised Feng Mian for his tact in his heart, and said calmly: "Don't worry, they will go back to the inn when they have had enough fun."

Then he pulled her into the alley and nibbled her, looking at her blushing face, feeling satisfied.
