After that, Ning Wanwan really did join Ning Yuanzhou, Pei Jinxiu, and the others for martial arts practice every day. While she couldn't compare to Ning Yuanzhou and Pei Jinxiu, who had been training since childhood, she at least made some modest progress.
Ning Yuanzhou was as insufferable as ever, constantly mocking Ning Wanwan, and when he found out she secretly liked Pei Jinxiu, he spread the news far and wide. Consequently, everyone at the all-male training ground knew that Ning Wanwan had only come to pursue Pei Jinxiu. Furious, Ning Wanwan got into a fight with Ning Yuanzhou. In the end, the two of them stopped speaking to each other, and upon returning home, both were punished by having to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Ning Wanwan simply gave up on trying to hide it anymore and openly pursued Pei Jinxiu. At that time, Pei Jinxiu was merely an unfavored prince. Whether it was because he was captivated by Ning Wanwan’s beauty or moved by her enthusiasm, he actually went straight to the Emperor to request a marriage decree. Recalling that Pei Jinxiu had previously been betrothed to Lin Jiaoyan, the daughter of a convicted official, the old Emperor took this opportunity to annul that engagement and grant a new marriage decree between Pei Jinxiu and Ning Wanwan.
