Qingle Restaurant is not the best restaurant in the capital, but it is Zhao Wanning's favorite restaurant. The chefs at Qingle Restaurant come from all over the world and are good at cooking special delicacies from various places, especially pastries.

Zhao Wanning loves sweetness, and the pastries at Qingle Restaurant are exactly what she wants.

The third floor is a private room.

The table facing the street was full of exquisite dishes, and Zhao Wanning ate the honey bean cake in front of him seriously, which was soft and delicious with the unique fragrance of honey. Silver Candle stood beside her, reserving some tea from time to time.

Opposite her sat a young man, with high hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a crimson power suit, with a sword on his waist, the ruby inlaid on the hilt was absolutely extraordinary at first glance, but the pink sword spike was a little abrupt.

"County Lord, you also know that I, Qi Chu, am a rural villager who does not enter the stream, if my father hadn't died, and my mother took me to my mother's house, I wouldn't have been able to get the protection of the Qi family, let alone the favor of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and send me to the army for training."

"Over the years, I have always been ashamed of Master Hou's love and cultivation for me. If there is no Hou Ye to take care of me, I am afraid that I am still just a little soldier in the army. Before the expedition, it was the Hou Ye who recommended me to the commander and secretly taught me to arrange the troops, which allowed me to make military achievements in the Battle of Luochuan. ”

"I'm very grateful to Master Hou, but I'm just being rude, and I'm really not worthy of the county lord."

"Please think twice about the county lord."

Qi stood up and half-knelt in front of Zhao Wanning, his hands were raised in front of his forehead, and in the palm of his palm was a tiger roar jade pendant carved from a whole piece of red jade.

It was a token of Zhao Wanning and Qi Chuan five years ago.

Zhao Wanning picked up the tea bowl and sipped lightly, and the silver candle handed over the silk handkerchief in a timely manner.

Zhao Wanning had an elegant posture, she stared carefully at the half-kneeling young general in front of her, the last time they met was half a year ago, it was the day before Qi Zhen's expedition, she went to ask the Marquis of Zhenbei, and only then met with Qi Shen outside the camp under the arrangement of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

At that time, Qi Chu was just a small soldier, grinding in the barracks all day long, which could be regarded as a disgraced face. Zhao Wanning handed him the peace charm that he specially went to Ci'an Temple to ask for.

She still remembered the way Qi Chuan took the peace charm, surprised, shy, delighted, and so on. Now that he has returned victoriously and has military achievements, he is no longer the little soldier who can think about lifelong events, but he is unwilling to marry her.

The women of the Great Zhou Dynasty can talk about marriage, and Zhao Wanning is now eighteen years old, which can be regarded as old in the entire capital. Zhao Wanning and Qi Chuan made a marriage contract five years ago, but Qi always said that Qi Chuan had no merit yet, and he didn't consider the matter of children's love for the time being, so Zhao Wanning also waited, looking forward to Qi Cun's construction as soon as possible and came to marry her.

Now that Qi Chu has been awarded the title of general for his military merits, he can finally talk about marriage, but he wants her to withdraw from her relatives and marry her.

Zhao Wanning smiled bitterly: "General Qi, do you think that the marriage contract between you and me can be decided by the two of us?" ”

Qi Wei raised his head, his eyes puzzled.

"Eighteen years ago, the Qi family had meritorious service from the dragon, and had to seal the town of Beihou, which could have enjoyed the glory of generations, but ten years ago, the war in the north was chaotic, Liangzhou was lost, and the Qi army went to Liangzhou to support, but in the ambush, General Pei led the army to rescue, and finally General Pei died in battle, and the Qi army also lost its elite strength."

"The Marquis of Yuanzhen Beihou also lost his life in that war, and my father reconciled with the eldest princess in order to inherit the title, but he has always been afraid of the majesty of the Holy Son of Heaven, so he made a marriage contract for you and me, so as to show loyalty to the royal family."

"The marriage contract between you and me is just a tool for the Qi clan to surrender to the royal family."

Qi Zhen's face was full of shock, and he opened his mouth, but there was nothing to say.

Zhao Wanning smiled: "In this way, do you still think that our marriage contract can be invalidated-just one sentence is not worthy?" ”

Qi stood up stunned.

Suddenly, Zhao Wanning put away her smile, her beautiful eyes were half-closed, and she clenched her fist against her forehead with one hand.

Silver Candle hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back, and her voice was urgent: "What's wrong with you, county lord?" ”

Zhao Wanning shook her head and frowned.

"County Lord, offended." After that, Qi Zhen, who came back to his senses, immediately took her wrist and put his fingers on the pulse, and he followed the military medicine to get some fur when he was in the army.

However, I don't know if his medical skills are not good or Zhao Wanning is really fine, he didn't find anything wrong from the pulse.

After Zhao Wanning opened his eyes, he immediately pulled out his wrist: "General Qi Xiao, men and women don't kiss!" ”

Qi Shen raised her eyes to look at Zhao Wanning in front of her, she frowned, and there seemed to be some disgust in her eyes. He was a little puzzled, he was fine just now, why did Zhao Wanning suddenly change as a person?

Zhao Wanning seemed to be still at the moment of falling from the building, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Shen holding her wrist, which made her feel disgusting.

Qi Xuan saw that her eyebrows were stretched, and she seemed to be fine, so she continued the topic just now: "County Lord, I don't understand these intrigues you said, but you said that I can prove the sincerity of the Qi family to the Holy Lord by marrying you, and that is the case, then can't I marry your cousin, Miss Chen'an, the niece of the eldest princess, to express my heartfelt conversation to the Holy Lord?" ”

Yin Zhu really couldn't listen to it, so he couldn't help blurting out: "The status of the county lord is noble, how can Miss Chen'an be compared to the county lord of Qinghe?" ”

"Silver Candle!" Zhao Wanning stopped.

Qi Zhen sneered: "Heh, the county lord is trying to suppress people with power?" Even if you are the high-ranking county lord of Qinghe, in my heart, you are still not as good as a finger of Chen'an. ”

Zhao Wanning is still a little puzzled at the moment, didn't she fall from the building? How can you still recall the events of a year ago? She remembered that Qi Zheng returned victoriously at that time, forced her to withdraw from the marriage, and wanted to push her downstairs, if she hadn't just been caught by Pei Yue, she was afraid that she would have to roll down the stairs. The next day, it was rumored in the entire capital that she and Pei Yue had a private meeting, and they were bumped into by Qi Zhen, who divorced on the spot. In order to maintain the face of the Zong family, she had to marry Pei Yue.

Qi Zhen was still accusing Zhao Wanning of bullying, and Zhao Wanning didn't bother to pay attention to him, why did she still think of these bad memories when she fell downstairs? People are going to die, so don't grieve yourself.

So Zhao Wanning no longer paid attention to Qi Zhen, and directly got up and turned to leave.

Before he reached the staircase, Qi Chuan followed: "Zhao Wanning, let's get married!" ”

Zhao Wanning's figure did not stop and continued to walk forward.

Qi Shen stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "Zhao Wanning!" ”

Zhao Wanning shook off his hand irritably, but she struggled too hard, and the whole person suddenly lost her balance and fell backwards.

Behind her was the staircase on the third floor, and Silver Candle exclaimed in a panic: "County Lord be careful! ”

Several men dressed as scholars happened to come up, and Zhao Wanning saw Pei Yue walking in front with his spare eyes.

Thinking of the rumors she heard today, Zhao Wanning felt bitter, she didn't want to be entangled with Pei Yue anymore, even in her memories, she wanted to avoid him.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the staircase, Zhao Wanning exerted force under his feet, and the whole person turned around and slammed into the railing next to him.

It was also this collision, but Zhao Wanning suddenly sobered up: Isn't it a memory? Why do I still feel pain?

Silver Candle hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "County Lord, are you okay?" Does it hurt? ”

Zhao Wanning was stunned and said: "What time is it?" ”

Silver Candle was a little puzzled, but still replied: "It's the seventeenth day of July in the seventeenth year of Yongde, what are you asking for?" ”

Zhao Wanning suddenly had a frightened thought.

She won't, will she be reborn?

With outsiders present, it was inconvenient for Qi Wei to continue.

Zhao Wanning left without looking back. Leaving Qi in distress in place: Did he speak too harshly? After all, Zhao Wanning waited for him for three years. Originally, Zhao Wanning and Zhenbei Hou asked him to marry, but he felt that his status was low and he was not worthy of the county lord, so he told Zhenbei Hou that he would talk about his children's private affairs after making contributions.

Who expected that after returning from this expedition, he met Zhao Chen'an who came to Beijing to defect, the two have similar identities and the same experience, so naturally there are endless topics, and he also has feelings for Zhao Chen'an along the way.

Invite Moon Garden.

Zhao Wanning withdrew from everyone and went to the study alone.

There are no eight ink landscape screens in the room, and there are no piles of official documents on the square table of golden silk nanmu, but her unfinished travelogue book "Shancheng Travels".

It was written by a Taoist priest named Shancheng who traveled all over the world, recording what he saw and heard during his travels. Zhao Wanning picked up the notebook and flipped through it, and the page was writing: There is Penglai in the East, and Penglai immortals can turn back time and bring people back to life.

Zhao Wanning remembered that she liked this travelogue at the beginning, and she also longed for the beautiful scenery and food in the travelogue, until she saw the Penglai immortals, she felt that it was too much to go back in time and come back to life, so she didn't continue to read it.

Now seeing this paragraph again, Zhao Wanning feels kind, if she has the opportunity, she wants to find this Taoist priest to ask about the story of Penglai immortals, if she can, she wants to go to Penglai in person.

Zhao Wanning sat at the table, and she wanted to figure out the current situation. She fell from the Star Picking Tower, and she was supposed to die, but she unexpectedly returned to a year ago, when she was not married.

At the beginning, she got married in a hurry because the rumors of her private meeting with Pei Yue were spreading in the capital, but the fact was that Qi Zheng forced her to withdraw from the marriage, and she wanted to rush into the palace to threaten her with military merits and directly ask the saint to abolish the marriage. She was afraid that Qi Zheng would act recklessly and be self-defeating, so she stopped him, but she didn't expect to be pushed downstairs by Qi Zhen, but fortunately Pei Yue, who came to the party with Tong Yan, came to the rescue, so she didn't fall downstairs.

The matter was urgent, Pei Yue did reach out to support her, but in broad daylight, in front of Qi Yu and Pei Yue Tongyan, she and Pei Yue did not have any unnecessary contact, why did there be such a scandal in the end? And it quickly fermented within a few days, and everyone in the entire capital knew about it.

In the end, she and Qi Yu broke off the marriage contract and married Pei Yue.

Could it be that someone is secretly disturbing this muddy water in order to gain benefits?

The more Zhao Wanning thought about it, the more frightened she felt, today she deliberately broke her foot and avoided Pei Yue's contact, Qi Yan should not be able to take advantage of this to make trouble. Her marriage contract with Qi Chuan has been incomprehensible for a day, and it is difficult to tell whether Qi Chuan will have other tricks.

Zhao Wanning clarified her thoughts, in the previous life, she was entangled with Qi and Pei Yue, so she ended up falling from a building, since God let her be reborn at this time, it must also mean something, if she can set things right from this moment and stay away from Qi and Pei Yue, maybe she can get rid of the tragic fate of her previous life.

Thinking about this, Zhao Wanning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what caused her rebirth, Zhao Wanning will definitely cherish this opportunity, this time, she wants to stay away from all those who don't love her and focus on herself.
