Just as Song Wanning finished speaking, she heard Yin Yichen chuckle, "What are you thinking about? I'm just letting you know so that you don't panic when I come to propose marriage."
"Then why are you asking me?" Seeing Yin Yichen being so domineering, Song Wanning curled her lips slightly, but didn't want to argue with him.
She was about to turn sideways to look at the sunset again, but Yin Yichen had already lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. The warm touch carried the unique woody fragrance of Yin Yichen, and Song Wanning's heart trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes as she wished. The gentle kiss slowly turned into an intertwining of lips and teeth, which made Song Wanning feel confused.
When the two separated, Song Wanning only heard Yin Yichen whispering in her ear, "You obviously like me so much, but you still pretend that you don't want to marry me?"
Song Wanning's face became redder and she turned her head away, unwilling to look at Yin Yichen again. "It was you who was unreasonable and insisted on marrying me. What can I do?"
"I insisted on marrying you." The smile in Yin Yichen's eyes did not diminish. Seeing the last rays of light in the sky disappear, he grasped the reins and told the horse to ride back.
The two of them rode into the capital wearing veiled hats, and finally arrived at the alley where Song Wanning and Caique had agreed to meet before dark.
With the help of Yin Yichen, she landed on the ground from her horse. Cai Que was relieved when she saw Song Wanning. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "Miss, you scared me to death. Why did you come back just now?"
"It's getting late now, let's go back quickly." Song Wanning said, looking back at Yin Yichen, "Prime Minister, please go back quickly as well."
"Okay." Yin Yichen took off the veil on his head and handed it to Song Wanning, smiling and saying, "Wait for me."
Song Wanning saw with her own eyes Yin Yichen riding his horse out of the alley and heading towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cai Que, who was standing nearby, had also seen Yin Yichen several times with Song Wanning. Yin Yichen was a serious man and very powerful. Cai Que had never seen him smile before. She was so shocked that she could not recover for a moment. She just pointed at Yin Yichen who was leaving and said, "Miss, when... when will you and the Prime Minister..."
Caique was just staying in the mansion to take care of the business, but she didn't expect that Song Wanning went to Putuo Mountain and actually became affectionate with the prime minister of the time. Caique was really shocked.
"Shh..." Song Wanning made a shushing gesture to Cai Que and whispered, "Don't let my family know."
After hearing what Song Wanning said, Cai Que quickly covered her mouth and followed Song Wanning into the general's mansion.
As soon as she entered the mansion, the gatekeeper's mother came up to greet her. Seeing Song Wanning anxiously, she said, "My little ancestor, you are finally back. The master and the second master are waiting for the girl in the front hall. They said they have something to talk about."
Song Wanning's heart skipped a beat, but she still responded with forced calmness, and walked into the main hall with Caique.
Cai Que now looked much more panicked than Song Wanning. She followed Song Wanning and whispered, "Miss, could it be that the master and the second master knew that you went out with the prime minister today?"
"Probably not. You'll know once you go and take a look."
As Song Wanning spoke, she walked into the main hall, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Song Jing and Song Lan sitting on the chairs.
When the two saw Song Wanning, their brows finally relaxed a little. Song Lan stood up, looked at Song Wanning and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"
"Yuyuan asked me to stay at her house for dinner, so I was late. I happened to go to the street to buy a few boxes of perfume powder, so I was late." Song Wanning opened her eyes and began to lie, saying in a low voice, "I just don't know why Daddy and Big Brother are waiting for Wanning so late today?"
Song Jing lowered his head and sighed, "The palace has sent an invitation to the general's mansion. Concubine Xian invites you to the palace. There is no way to refuse this invitation now, but our family does not have a mistress, so we can only let your aunt take you to the palace..."
Song Wanning was stunned for a moment after hearing what Song Jing said, and then asked, "Xianfei?"
Song Lan nodded, looking at Song Wanning with a hint of meaning, "Sister, why do you think Concubine Xian wants to see you? It's because her daughter Princess Xiangyu has been looking for the Prime Minister, and now the rumor that the Prime Minister wants to marry you is all over the city. The palace can't sit still anymore, so they sent the invitation. Sister, you might as well think about it carefully. Now it's just a rumor that has spread to this extent. If there is something in the future, won't it be even bigger?"
Song Jing, who was sitting on a chair, raised his hand and slammed it on the table, saying angrily, "That Yin Yichen, I told him not to continue to pester you, but who would have thought that he would still be so shameless. I should have let Xuanzhi get engaged to you before returning to Jiangnan."
After hearing this, Song Wanning lowered her head guiltily and dared not say anything else.
Song Wanning's reaction made Song Jing and Song Lan think that she was afraid. Song Lan only walked forward a few steps, patted Song Wanning on the shoulder, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, sister. Our family is also powerful. Now that Concubine Xian summoned you to the palace, she just wanted to know whether the rumors were true or not. She shouldn't do anything."
Song Jing also followed to comfort Song Wanning, "Wanning, don't be afraid. Daddy is waiting for you in the carriage outside the palace. Although our family is not as good as the prime minister's house, it is not easy to bully. If the virtuous concubine dares to bully you, Daddy will definitely submit a memorial to the emperor."
Song Wanning felt warm in her heart and responded with a smile, "With daddy and big brother here, Wanning is not afraid."
Song Wanning has lived two lifetimes now. Although she has heard about the majesty of the royal family, she is not too afraid.
In preparation for entering the palace, Song Wanning picked out a set of solemn dress overnight. The clothes in the palace were not as casual as those outside, so she had to dress well.
The next morning, Song Wanning got on the carriage to the palace. Song Jing comforted her all the way, "Wanning, now that you are in the palace, you just need to insist that you have nothing to do with the prime minister. I don't know where the rumors came from. If that doesn't work, you can say that you have a lover and are just waiting for him/her to return to the capital to get engaged."
Song Wanning responded softly, and Song Jing looked at Nan Hongqiu again, "Sister-in-law, now it is up to you to accompany Wanning to the palace. After all, Wanning is still young, and I hope you can help her more."
Nan Hongqiu has always done a good job of preserving her reputation. She looked at Song Jing and said with a smile, "Brother, what are you talking about? We are all family, and it is only natural for me to follow Wan Ning into the palace. Don't worry, brother. I'm here for everything."
After hearing what Nan Hongqiu said, Song Wanning felt a little amused, but she didn't laugh out loud.
Song Wanning knew exactly what kind of person Nan Hongqiu was. She was afraid that once she entered the palace, she would be waiting to set a trap for him and watch him get into trouble.
