In a small teahouse in Beijing, a few commoners made a table and shared their after-dinner discussions.

Suddenly, one of them winked and said, "Hmm, it's not some big news." Have you heard? The Regent God of War is going to be married in ten days? "

"How do you know?" The other person in sackcloth asked. The one who spoke first heard that they didn't know anything about it, so he suddenly became excited. His face was filled with pride.

The other person suddenly laughed vulgarly and said in a low voice, "I always thought that prince was the best person in Long Yang."

They all smiled tacitly. One must know that in this dynasty, sixteen or seventeen years old, one must know that they were going to be married. However, this prince was still unmarried at the age of twenty-one? That crown prince who was two years younger than him now had a son, which was why the rumors about the mighty and dignified Regent were spread. He was a fetishist. It was a pity that someone did not pay any attention to such things. If he knew what the commoners would say, what kind of expression would he have?

The person who spoke had smiles in his eyes. After all, it was very difficult to find information that no one else knew. He was the focus of the entire conversation. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and slowly said, "Isn't there someone working in the palace at home? They say that they're busy preparing something for them right now."

"Oh wow, who is that bride?" Everyone at the seats seemed especially interested in the news. After all, it was boring after dinner. Furthermore, everyone who came to this place liked to gossip.

"I heard she's the adopted daughter of the Zuo Xiang Clan." The man knocked on a melon seed, then casually spat the shell on the ground. Of course, the people sitting with him wouldn't care about these things.

Prime Minister Zuo's adopted daughter?" "Isn't she a pretty girl? I remember that half a month ago, I saw the Regent and a few pretty girls walking together. Oh, and also that young master from the Shangguan family." When a person heard this, his eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of something.

"Aren't you speaking too vaguely? There are too many beautiful girls in the capital." The man said disdainfully after knocking on another melon seed. Indeed, who could tell who was who by the word beautiful?

"I think that girl is the prettiest in the capital." Then, he would choose to ignore him. Then, a hint of a yearning smile appeared on his face. Everyone has a heart that loves beauty.

"I wonder if there's a chance for me to take a look as well." A civilian who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up. Anyone who didn't want to look at a beauty would have their eyes raised.

"You country bumpkin, forget it." a big man joked.

"You're not the same." The people who were mocked rolled their eyes …

It was still by the lakeside. The spring breeze blew gently, causing the lake's surface to ripple. The reflection of the setting sun on the surface of the water also began to wrinkle. Yu Ling Jing stood tall and straight, and a unique aura formed around him as he stood there. Today, he was wearing a navy blue outfit, a rare sight. Usually, he would wear black here with golden patterns swirling around his sleeves. Coincidentally, Qi Shu was wearing a blue skirt today. The two of them chose to wear the same skirt and it looked like a perfect match. Qi Wan County looked down at the blurry reflection of a person on the water's surface. A fish swam by, shattering their reflections, and then quickly returned to its original form.

"I feel like the two of us are fated to be together. Why does it feel like there are fishes appearing whenever we're alone?" Yu Ling Jing was the first to break the silence, but the other side had no intention of responding. In the past few days, he didn't actually think about this girl very often, because he was too busy to remember anything. However, the wedding date was approaching … There are some things better said in person...

"I thought you were going to run away, but I didn't think that you still hadn't run away." Yu Lingjing was silent for a moment. He thought that perhaps he didn't want to hear this nonsense, so he decided to get straight to the point.

"Qi Wan County has always been stiff with friendship, and Yu Ling Jing always wanted to know when Qi Wan County would treat him like her friend." "Do you believe that I'll run tonight?" There was a chill in her voice that didn't belong in spring.

"I don't believe it." Yu Ling Jing answered with determination.

"Where did you get your confidence from?" Qi Dian raised his head and looked at Yu Ling Jing. He was not short, but to stand in front of a wargod who looked 1.9 meters tall made him look extremely small and petite. At this moment, she was untactfully running away, as if she knew that someone's Qing Gong was better than hers.

"You still want revenge, don't you?" Yu Lingjing's cold voice pulled the girl back from her reverie.

"Since you already know that I married you for revenge, you're still willing to marry me?" Qi Wan County was somewhat puzzled. No one would be willing to let someone with a purpose approach them. Success.

"Just treat it as me paying back the life that I owe you …" Yu Lingjing suddenly laughed coldly. In his eyes, that unique girl was looking at him like he was a nobody.

"It seems that I really didn't save the wrong person. However, if it wasn't because of you, how would I even need to take revenge?" Qi Dian felt that his smile was particularly dazzling, but he also smiled. Her smile was different from Yu Ling Jing's, Yu Ling Jing's smile was cold, and his smile was filled with determination.

"That's not what I thought." Yu Lingjing looked at this expression and felt speechless.

"You've said the same thing a second time." Qi Dian withdrew the smile from the corner of his mouth. He indifferently glanced at Yu Ling Jing, then turned around and was about to leave. Yu Ling Jing looked at Qi Lun slowly turning around, his eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and then he stretched out his hand to grab Qi Lun County's arm. He suddenly realized that this girl was really thin. He could feel that the hand through the cloth was just skin and bones.

"Let go." Qi Wanshi gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly. Yu Ling Jing didn't say anything and didn't release his hand. Qi Lang also stopped talking and didn't struggle. The two just stood there in a deadlock. After half a minute, Qi Wan felt her hand loosen and her heart became empty. However, he still chose to leave without looking back. Qi Wanshi didn't want the two of them to have any real feelings towards each other, because feelings in her heart were something that would affect others. Once they had feelings for each other, they would act with more apprehension. He was actually afraid of a lot. He was afraid that the people around him would leave him again, and he didn't want the people he cared about to increase. The more he cared about, the more he was afraid he would lose. However, who could truly control something like emotions?

The peach blossoms on the peach tree had already bloomed. A tree of peach blossoms with a thousand red flowers looked just like the colorful clouds on the horizon in the evening.

"I like you." Yu Ling Jing behind the vast blue sky, a soft white cloud, slowly floated past. The warm sunlight shone on her face, making everything seem so illusory … So beautiful... A light breeze brought with it the fragrance of flowers and the corner of his clothes. It felt like it was being blown away by the wind.

"Yes." The person standing in front of her had peach blossoms on his face, and his ears were red. His eyes seemed to contain millions of stars.

"Really." Yu Ling Jing looked lovingly at the girl, a gentle smile on his lips as he reached out to stroke the girl's head. It was as if he was cherishing a treasure …

"Got it." The girl obediently lowered her head, her ears turning even redder. The myriad stars in her eyes instantly turned into a pool of spring water, so warm that it seemed as if they could melt a person inside.

"What about you?" Yu Lingjing never stopped smiling. His other hand was tightly gripping the fan. At this moment, his heart was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster,

"I like you too." The girl replied shyly, slowly raising her head to look at Yu Ling Jing's expression. Yu Ling Jing stretched out his hand as if he wanted to hug the girl, but everything stopped just like that, as if time itself had stopped. Yu Lingjing's hand was still a centimeter away from the girl's shoulder.

At this moment, the wind suddenly grew stronger, blowing Yu Ling Jing away with the wind. He really was like that, dissipating in the air with the wind. There were no traces at all, the girl who looked like a peach blossom just now was given a big jump, his face was especially anxious, his eyes sparkled with sparkling tears, he reached out his hand to randomly touch the air, but he couldn't grab anything, everything was like a dream, that person had never come before.

He felt a thin layer of sweat on his back, and he patted his head. Why did he have such a dream? Did she really like him? Was it a dream or a dream that was always the opposite of reality?

Qi Wanshi habitually turned his head to look out of the window. The moon was no longer the full moon that he had seen a few nights ago, but it was now full. The moon was curved like a yellow beautiful boat emitting a cold light, carrying people's thoughts through the deep night sky, slowly moving through the colorful clouds. When everyone woke up tomorrow, and when the sun came out tomorrow, Qi Wanxian would have to wear her own mask again, to escape from her true thoughts in the dark, to face everything in reality with a different face.

But how long could he pretend like this?

Everything was very simple, everything would come at once without any warning, and everything would leave without a sound.
