Pei Yue cleaned up the small table where the kitchen was placed, and put the boiled noodles there.

"Eat." Pei Yue said.

Zhao Wanning, who was already hungry, hurriedly carried the small stool over, she took the chopsticks handed over by Pei Yue and scrubbed them clean, and ate the noodles carefully.

That noodle was very strong, probably because she was hungry, Zhao Wanning felt that the bowl of noodles was extraordinarily fragrant. Poke the poached egg with chopsticks, and an orange-yellow egg liquid flows out, which is Zhao Wanning's favorite taste.

Pei Yue stood aside, he looked at Zhao Wanning who was concentrating on eating noodles like that, and his eyes were reluctant to leave.

Zhao Wanning was eating, and she felt the gaze that fell on her, and she knew that it was Pei Yue looking at her.

Zhao Wanning was a little embarrassed, she originally wanted to ask Pei Yue why she left without saying a word today, but now that she has eaten the noodles cooked by Pei Yue, she can't say anything about the question.

Zhao Wanning was angry that her stomach was not angry, and she couldn't sleep because of hunger, so this is what happened tonight.

I didn't expect Pei Yue's cooking skills to be quite good, even cooking noodles.

Zhao Wanning thought nonsense and ate noodles in small bites. At the end, Zhao Wanning also drank a few mouthfuls of noodle soup, and a bowl of noodles quickly bottomed out.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Wanning patted her round belly with satisfaction. The eldest princess hated Zhao Wanning the most for doing this, saying that it was not decent enough and insulting to the noble girl Sven.

In the previous life, Zhao Wanning took the eldest princess as the priority, and took the requirements of the eldest princess as the standard everywhere, and the habits she had developed for a long time seemed to be engraved into her bones, which were indelible, even if she was reborn in a lifetime, she still retained some habits.

Leaving the Eldest Princess's Mansion this time and leaving the capital, Zhao Wanning relaxed, many things that she thought were fused into her bones and blood have also changed, she likes herself like this, free and unrestrained.

Pei Yue was amused by her small movements.

In the last life, after he married Zhao Wanning, he still lived in the Eldest Princess's Mansion. He could see that Zhao Wanning was very restrained at that time, and he seemed to have an invisible shackle on his body, and only when he took Zhao Wanning out alone to play, Zhao Wanning could relax a little.

It's just that Pei Yue still had to prepare for the exam at that time, and he locked himself in the study most of the time, and he had very little time to take Zhao Wanning out.

Later, he was sent to Dali Temple by Emperor Shengde to serve in the three yuan, and he concentrated on finding an opportunity to overturn the case for his father.

Pei Yue always thought that his grandfather was old, and he didn't know how many days in the future, he was still waiting to see him overturn the case for his father.

And Zhao Wanning is his wife, and they have a lot of time to accompany each other for the rest of their lives.

He will take Zhao Wanning to the suburbs in the spring to release paper kites, and he will also take Zhao Wanning to the lotus pond in the summer to pick lotus flowers. As for the winter days, I don't go anywhere and nest in the warm indoor hearth for sencha.

It's a pity that before he could find out what clue, Zhao Wanning died unexpectedly.

It was only then that he really understood the sentence "There are flowers that can be broken and must be broken, and there are no flowers and empty branches".

That's nice. Pei Yue sighed in his heart. Thank God for being willing to give him a chance to come over again, so that he can see such a vivid and vivid Zhao Wanning, and Zhao Wanning who is still alive.

Zhao Wanning saw Pei Yue laughing at her, and hiccuped indifferently, her voice was loud.

She really doesn't care now, what county lord status, what aristocratic decency, it is not as good as doing what she wants.

Pei Yue also heard Zhao Wanning's hiccups, and he still smiled softly.

"Have you eaten yet?" Pei Yue asked softly, as if the person in front of him was some precious and fragile porcelain.

Zhao Wanning was a little shocked by Pei Yue's attitude towards her, obviously she had just finished eating a big bowl of noodles, and she was as strong as a cow with hiccups, but Pei Yue was unaware and still treated her gently.

But when she thought about it, Pei Yue was a decent gentleman, and no matter what strange scenes she saw, she should be able to be pampered and not shocked.

Zhao Wanning spread his hands: "As you can see." ”

Pei Yue likes this Zhao Wanning very much, as if he has lost all his status and status, and has also faded away the invisible shackles on his body, and the whole person is as light as a lark in the mountains, as if he will spread his wings and fly into the mountains and forests in the next second.

He leaned over and picked up the dishes and chopsticks that had just been served to Zhao Wanning, and wanted to clean them.

Zhao Wanning was a little embarrassed, at this moment, Pei Yue was wearing a neat black night coat and a white apron, and the apron was stained with oil stains, which looked a little embarrassed.

"If you don't keep the dishes and chopsticks, someone will wash them tomorrow." No matter how thick-skinned Zhao Wanning is, it is impossible for him to watch him wash the dishes just after eating the food cooked by Pei Yue. "Or I'll wash it."

"It doesn't matter." Pei Yue's voice was brisk, as if he was very happy. He washed very carefully, as if only in this way could he get along with Zhao Wanning for a while.

Zhao Wanning looked at Pei Gao's back, and muttered silently in his heart, no one would have thought that Pei Yue, who was the head of Dali Temple, would be dressed like this and wash his hands in the narrow kitchen to make soup.

But Pei Yue did it very naturally, as if he had done it many times.

Zhao Wanning was a little curious, although the Pei family was lonely, it was not even a subordinate who cooked rice, why was Pei Yue so skilled in cooking noodles? Doesn't the reader always say that a gentleman is far away from cooking? Pei Yue doesn't look like a person who is far away from cooking.

She just wanted to ask, but she felt that it was inappropriate. Forget it, she and Pei Yue are not close to each other now, and some things still can't be said nonsense.

No matter how slow Pei Yue's movements are, there is always a time for the pots and bowls to be cleaned.

After Pei Yue washed all the used kitchen utensils and returned them to their places, he turned around.

"I ......" Pei Yue said with difficulty: "I'm leaving." ”

Pei Yue said as he went to untie the apron behind him, but he was in a hurry to cook noodles for Zhao Wanning, and he tied a dead knot in a hurry.

Zhao Wanning saw that his face was embarrassed, and his hands were behind his back for a long time, so he took the initiative to walk over and said, "I'll come." ”

In a hurry, Pei Yue's hand touched Zhao Wanning's, her hand was soft and delicate, but the temperature was a little low, colder than him, who had just washed the dishes.

Pei Yue said bitterly: "You have to wear more, Qingzhou is not as good as the capital, the temperature here is extremely low, and it is easy to get frostbite." ”

Zhao Wanning finally noticed a trace of subtlety, Pei Yue never called her the county lord today! No wonder she always found the atmosphere between the two of them weird.

Zhao Wanning untied the tie a few times, and said with a desire to cover it: "The county lord knows." Thank you Master Pei for the reminder. ”

Zhao Wanning's words stung Pei Yue, and the voice of "Master Pei" was reminding the distance between the two of them, and also telling Pei Yue that she didn't have him in her heart.

Pei Yue endured the heartache and said in a low voice: "Yes, county lord." ”

For a while, the two of them were speechless, and the narrow kitchen became cramped, and it was not even easy to breathe.

Pei Yue knew that he should go, but he was reluctant to leave Zhao Wanning, staring at Zhao Wanning's hand hanging by his side in a daze.

Zhao Wanning also felt that she had said the wrong thing. But she is obviously telling the truth, she is the county lord, what's wrong with claiming to be the county lord? Pei Yue is the temple of Dali Temple, and it is natural to call him Master Pei.

Zhao Wanning hated such a strange atmosphere and felt uncomfortable.

"That's down, let's retire first." Pei Yue broke the silence, and without waiting for Zhao Wanning to respond, he opened the door of the small kitchen and prepared to walk out.

As soon as the door opened, a bitter cold wind rushed in.

Zhao Wanning was sobered up by the cold wind, she remembered Zhao Wangshu's explanation, and hurriedly shouted at Pei Yue's back: "Pei Yue, stop!" ”

Pei Yue turned around when he heard this, and Zhao Wanning called his name again, calling Pei Yue instead of "Master Pei".

"The Grand Duke will see you." Zhao Wanning hurriedly got down to business.

Pei Yue's heart that was still happy just now sank again, the grand duke wanted to see him, and it was a business over there. He thought it was Zhao Wanning......

Zhao Wanning took Pei Yue to Zhao Wangshu's courtyard, Zhao Wangshu's bedroom was still lit, and it was rare that she hadn't fallen asleep yet.

After Zhao Wangshu was dressed neatly, Zhao Wanning took Pei Yue in.

Zhao Wangshu was not surprised when he saw Pei Yue in a black night suit, but just asked him to sit down, and the maid made hot tea for the three of them, and then withdrew.

Zhao Wangshu looked at Zhao Wanning's loose hair, so he called her over, touched her hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

Zhao Wangshu said and stuffed the soup woman prepared for her by the maid into Zhao Wanning's hand, and said, "I see that you have very little dinner today, I'm afraid you're not hungry." I've got some pastries here, and you can eat some to cushion your stomach. ”

Zhao Wanning waved her hand again and again, she was just about to say that Pei Yue had cooked noodles for her, she had just finished eating, and she was not hungry at this time. Before the words could be spoken, he sensed that something was wrong.

Pei Yue cooked noodles for her, no matter how you look at it, she feels a little too ambiguous.

Zhao Wanning couldn't find the words to refuse, so she took the plate of pastries, picked up a piece and silently stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhao Wangshu took a sip of tea, and she silently observed Pei Yue, who was sitting at the bottom.

Pei Yue was dressed in a black night suit, looking a little chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, but this chivalrous man seemed to have been to the kitchen, there was a faint smoke and fire on his body, and the clothes behind him seemed to be stained with something, shiny, and looked like oil stains.

Zhao Wangshu looked at Zhao Wanning who was biting the pastry in small bites, she seemed to be eating the pastry, but after biting for a long time, the round pastry was only missing a small corner.

Zhao Wangshu had a guess in her heart, but she was not a gossip person, so she didn't say anything.

"I don't know why Lord Pei appeared in this Qingzhou Mansion dressed in a night suit?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Pei Yue arched his hand and said: "Princess Qiyu, the minister's trip is to follow the will of the saint and come to Qingzhou to investigate the case. ”

Pei Yue didn't hide it, he knew the personality of the eldest princess, and since Emperor Shengde sent the eldest princess to Qingzhou, he naturally trusted the eldest princess enough.

Zhao Wangshu didn't expect Pei Yue to be so direct, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Who to check?" Wu Daoquan or Huang Yi'an? ”

Pei Yue shook his head, and he said in a deep voice: "Not only the two of them, but also the entire Qingzhou. ”

"Don't hide it from the eldest princess, Qingzhou has a long-standing grudge, and the saint wants to take this opportunity to uproot the forces of all parties entrenched in Qingzhou, and return Qingzhou to a piece of Haiyan River." Pei Yue explained.

Hearing this, Zhao Wangshu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Li Wei is here too?" ”

Hearing Li Wei's name, Pei Yue looked up in surprise, he didn't expect that before he said anything, the eldest princess could guess that Li Wei was also coming to Qingzhou.

It seems that this eldest princess knows a little bit about court politics.

"Yes, Master Li is here too." Pei Yue no longer hid it, he continued: "There is also Lu Chunnian. ”
