The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 274 How could she have done something so embarrassing?

As Pei Qing approached, he saw Yun Wei and Aman looking at him strangely.

He paused, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why are you two looking at me like that, ladies?"

"It's nothing," Yun Wei shook her head.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Aman couldn't help but ask, "Jing runs away as soon as she sees you, what's going on between you two?"

Pei Qing was startled and subconsciously turned to look around. Not seeing Xuan Yuanjing, he frowned slightly.

So when he came over with Rong Zhen just now, the familiar figure he saw was not a mistake. It really was Xuan Yuanjing who had come to the Regent's Palace.

Seeing him frowning and remaining silent, Aman became even more curious. "What's going on? Didn't you two agree to get married in the twelfth lunar month?"

Pei Qing snapped out of her daze and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing. That's just her nature, always so impulsive. But we have indeed set the wedding date for the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Aman wanted to ask more questions, but Yunwei stopped her by pulling her hand.

Rong Zhen glanced at Xu Yanyan and said to Yun Wei, "You two chat, I'm going to the study."

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded.

This place is full of women; it's not a good place for him to stay.

Pei Qing naturally followed Rong Zhen.

No sooner had the two left than Xuan Yuanjing appeared out of nowhere, her face flushed red, making her impossible to ignore.

"What's going on? One day, you're actually avoiding Pei Qing!" Aman looked her over, her face full of surprise.

Xuan Yuanjing stammered, "I wasn't avoiding him..."

"Your face practically screams 'I feel guilty,' yet you say you weren't hiding from people," Xu Yanyan couldn't help but tease.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuanjing's face turned even redder, which made Yun Wei and Aman even more curious.

This girl, who's always been thick-skinned, actually blushed one day; it's truly surprising.

"What guilty thing have you done?" Aman teased.

Xuan Yuanjing recalled getting drunk at the Pei family's house two days ago and dragging Pei Qing to the bridal chamber...

Looking back now, she wishes she could go back to that day and knock herself unconscious.

How could she do something so embarrassing?

She hadn't dared to see Pei Qing these past few days, and hadn't even dared to go to the Pei family's residence, so when she suddenly saw him just now, she instinctively ran away.

"What's wrong with you? Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom." Aman was dying of curiosity when she saw that Aman was not saying anything and that her face was getting redder and redder.

Since everyone knew each other so well, they spoke without much restraint in private.

Even Yun Wei was curious and asked, "You and Pei Qing have nothing going on, right?"

"N-nothing's wrong," Xuan Yuanjing shook her head in denial.

Seeing her like this, Yunwei and Aman didn't press her further.

Their faces were so red; something must have happened between them.

Yunwei changed the subject, saying, "Pei Qing just said that your wedding date is set for the tenth of next month, which is only a few days away. How are your preparations going? If there's anything we can help you with, just let us know."

Aman chimed in, "Yes, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask us."

Xuanyuan Jing had no relatives or friends in the Wei Kingdom. As her friends, they naturally had to help her with such a big event as her marriage.

Seeing how much the two cared for her, Xuan Yuanjing felt a warmth in her heart. "When I need your help, I certainly won't be polite. However, last month, I wrote back to Yue Kingdom to inform my royal brother that I wanted to marry Pei Qing. My royal brother agreed and even sent people to deliver my dowry, which should arrive soon. My royal brother's people will arrange everything."

Yunwei and Aman were relieved after hearing this.

As a princess of the Yue Kingdom, Xuan Yuanjing chose her husband from the Wei Kingdom herself. However, the marriage involved both countries, so Xuan Yuanjing's marriage to Wei was considered a political alliance. Not only did the Yue Kingdom send people, but the Wei Kingdom also arranged for people from the Ministry of Rites to handle the arrangements. Thinking of this, Yun Wei looked at Xuan Yuanjing and then at Xu Yanyan, "Your wedding days are very close. Yanyan's wedding will be just a few days later, and then it will be Xuan Yuanjing's wedding."

Hearing her say that, Aman realized it too, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "What a coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyan looked at Xuan Yuanjing with envy.

Although Xuanyuan Jing was a princess, she was able to choose her own husband, unlike her, who had no say in her own marriage and was to marry a man of questionable character.

But when she thought about what Yunwei had promised her that morning, she wasn't upset anymore.

Her future is not entirely hopeless.

Perhaps, one day, she will be free to do what she wants!

As the four were chatting, Tian'er arrived with Madam Shen.

Upon seeing the Shen family, Aman's eyes involuntarily revealed envy.

Yunwei understood perfectly.

Aman has always wanted to have a child, but she hasn't been able to conceive. Although she is currently following the prescriptions given to her, it's not like she can get pregnant just by asking.

Shen is almost three months pregnant now. Although she is not showing yet, she looks much fuller.

"How have you been lately?" As Shen approached, Aman took her hand and asked with concern.

Madam Shen nodded with a smile, "It's alright."

Aside from being a little sleepy, she rarely experiences morning sickness, and she can even lend a hand at the noodle stall when it's crowded.

"It's windy here, let's go inside and talk," Yunwei said.

Two sheep were slaughtered in the manor today, and since she hadn't seen Madam Shen for a long time, she sent someone to fetch Madam Shen.

Aman nodded and said, "The weather looks gloomy. I think it will probably snow tonight."

Yunwei led the group to her Qingxue Courtyard.

The house was warm, with a heated floor and a charcoal stove burning inside.

Shen Shi knew Xuan Yuanjing and Aman, but this was the first time she had met Xu Yanyan, so she couldn't help but be curious, "Weiwei, who is this young lady...?"

"She is General Xu's granddaughter, Xu Yanyan," Yunwei introduced. "Yanyan, this is my friend, Madam Li the Second."

Before Xu Yanyan could say anything, Madam Shen looked at Xu Yanyan with a shocked expression after hearing Yun Wei's words, "Then isn't she the future empress?"

“Yes.” Yun Wei nodded.

Madam Shen was so shocked that she had just sat down, but then stood up again, looking at Xu Yanyan in disbelief, "I actually saw the Empress?"

Yunwei was both amused and exasperated. "Don't be so surprised."

Xu Yanyan blurted out, "I don't want to be this emperor at all..."

Yunwei tugged at her, and she stopped talking, saying awkwardly, "Anyway, just don't treat me like the future empress."

Mrs. Shen was relieved to see that she was so approachable.

After all, everyone present was of extraordinary status, while she was the only ordinary person.

Aman said that with this weather, it would probably snow tonight. Unexpectedly, snowflakes began to fall around noon, so Yunwei had someone prepare another mutton hot pot.

The group ate roasted whole lamb and lamb hot pot, feeling warm and cozy all over.

As for Rong Zhen and Pei Qing, they ate in the outer courtyard with Rong Xue and Cui Shao, who arrived later.

That evening, Yunwei had just seen her guests off when she turned around and saw Qingfeng return. She immediately asked, "Where is Haitang?"

I've been sick these past couple of days and haven't been feeling well, so I'm sorry I can only update one chapter for now.
