Qin Peng looked unhappy, and Qin Shuhuai noticed it quickly.

Although he is a straight man, he is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Although he may not know whether you are happy or not before doing this, he will definitely know that you are unhappy after doing it. Qin Shuhuai frowned and asked with some doubt: "Do you think there is something wrong?"

They were already at the door of the mutton soup restaurant, how could Qin Peng say that there was anything wrong? He could only smile awkwardly and said, "Nothing wrong, just a little surprised."

Qin Peng jumped down as gracefully as possible, fixed his hair, and said in a self-destructive manner, "Let's go."

Qin Shuhuai glanced at her and felt something was wrong, so he continued, "Princess, what are you surprised about?"

"Oh," Qin Peng said expressionlessly, "I thought you would take me to a place with a more beautiful environment to eat, such as Liuli Pavilion or something..."

"That's what you mean," Qin Shuhuai nodded and told the truth, "In fact, the food at Liuli Pavilion is not very delicious."

Who cares if it tastes good or not? If I want to eat something delicious, wouldn’t I go to Baizhi?

Qin Peng had countless words that she wanted to say, but she held back.

During the years she was with Qin Shuhuai, she had gotten used to such scenes. She originally thought that Qin Shuhuai was a special case among men, but today she vaguely understood that Qin Shuhuai was probably not a special case, but a representative. No matter how romantic a man may look, he is still a man after all.

She walked into the restaurant with "Liu Shuyan" with an expressionless face, thinking that the person she had chosen might not be particularly suitable.

After Qin Shuhuai gave this explanation, he looked at Qin Peng's cold face and always felt that he had done something wrong.

He couldn't help but think of the same thing that happened with Zhao Peng in the past. Every time he thought he had done a good job, Zhao Peng was unable to respond to his efforts. He always had a stern face and a calm expression, and said calmly: "Oh, very good, not bad."

When facing such a Zhao Peng, he always had a feeling of not knowing where to start. After so many years, he experienced this feeling again with Qin Peng.

Women are truly unpredictable creatures.

While Qin Shuhuai was thinking over and over what he had done wrong, the two walked into the private room. Qin Shuhuai was probably a regular here. The boss came up to greet the two people in person. The boss was a very tactful person. He didn't even look at Qin Peng. After respectfully welcoming the two people in, he asked Qin Shuhuai, "Master, is it the same as usual?"

"Same."

Qin Shuhuai nodded. Qin Peng wanted to say something but held back.

Mutton soup pot is the food of Northern Yan. Qi is located in the south, and most of the food is exquisite. Qin Peng didn't think it was bad, but she was a Northern Yan person in her heart. Suddenly she came to her hometown restaurant, and she wanted to order countless things. But "Liu Shuyan" didn't even give her the chance to order. But it was not good for her, a princess who had been widowed for ten years, to be too familiar with the restaurants of Northern Yan, so although she was greedy, she still held back.

The two of them knelt at the table, and the guards stood guard at the door. They were the only two people left in the room. Qin Shuhuai smiled and poured tea for Qin Peng, saying gently: "This mutton soup pot is the most popular dish in Beiyan. Your Highness has never eaten it, right?"

"Well, I haven't eaten it."

In fact, she has been eating it since she was a child...

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will introduce this dish to the princess..."

Qin Shuhuai was a man of profound knowledge. He knew everything about a dish, including its origin and how to cook it. However, Qin Peng was tired of hearing about these things. When Qin Shuhuai had dinner with her, which dish of Beiyan did he not introduce in this way?

Are all men in this world the same?

Qin Peng began to doubt seriously.

She looked at Qin Shuhuai suspiciously. At this time, the boss brought up the hot pot of mutton soup, and many hot pot dishes, and also added a special dipping sauce, which he placed in front of the two of them, and then put a pot of wine and two small bowls.

Qin Peng couldn't help herself when she smelled the mutton, but she still pretended to be reserved and endured not saying a word.

Qin Shuhuai took out two belts from the drawer beside the table. He looked up and saw Qin Peng staring at the pot opposite him, and was stunned for a moment.

At that moment, Qin Shuhuai almost thought that it was Zhao Peng from that year who was sitting in front of him.

The girl Zhao Peng liked to eat mutton soup, but at that time she didn't know who to ask and heard that he liked elegant and reserved girls, so when she asked him out, they would go to a restaurant in the south, but every time they passed a mutton soup restaurant, her eyes would stay there for a long time.

He was somewhat helpless and could only take the initiative to drag her there. When they went there, she would always pretend to be elegant at first, staring at the pot without blinking, but after she started eating, her chopsticks could almost remove the illusion for you.

Because she wanted to eat in small bites and felt unhappy, she had to eat faster.

After they got married, she probably felt that she could rest easy after marrying him, so she finally gave up this phantom way of eating mutton and started stuffing it into her mouth in big mouthfuls, drinking as she did so. She would even pat him on the shoulder and say to him, "Shuhuai, if you open a mutton soup restaurant in the future, I will not run away even if I meet a man more handsome than you."

Later, he finally opened the most famous mutton soup restaurant in Qi State, but that man never came back.

Thinking about the person who had left long ago, Qin Shuhuai looked up at the girl opposite him, feeling a little sad. He sat next to Qin Peng and said to her, "Raise your hands."

Qin Peng was a little confused, but still raised her hand. Qin Shuhuai lowered his eyes, rolled up her sleeves around her wrists, and then fastened them with a buckled belt.

He was serious and meticulous when he did this. Qin Peng looked up at him. She didn't know if it was because the afterglow of the setting sun was too warm, but when she looked at this man, she suddenly felt particularly at ease.

It seemed like the feeling she had always wanted, stable and peaceful.

Over the years, she has never stopped fighting with others. When she was in Northern Yan, she fought with the empress, other princes, and later with Qin Shuhuai.

When I was young, I was still quite impulsive and thought that fighting all my life was nothing. With wealth and glory in my hands, I could fight as long as I wanted.

But now, perhaps because she has grown up, she doesn't know when it started, but she suddenly feels that it would be best if she could find someone, live a stable life with him, see Zhao Yu is doing well, and have a stable family of her own.

At this moment, "Liu Shuyan" lowered his head to tie her sleeves. This sense of security came suddenly, making her dazed for a moment. After tying the sleeves, "Liu Shuyan" raised his head, smiled at her and said, "It's much more convenient to eat this way."

"Thank you."

Qin Peng lowered his head to hide his emotions. The soup pot began to boil. Qin Shuhuai picked up some mutton and put it into the dipping sauce. He said to Qin Peng, "This is how you eat mutton."

As he said this, he demonstrated it to her.

Qin Peng watched "Liu Shuyan" eat and thought she was very elegant and beautiful, but not fragrant enough, so he had no appetite at all.

She nodded and decided to show Liu Shuyan how to do it herself, so...

She started eating.

She moved her chopsticks so quickly that it almost created illusions. Qin Peng thought she was very elegant, but Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but raise his head and frowned when he saw the way she ate.

He suddenly discovered that this person was very similar to Zhao Peng.

He poured the wine without leaving any trace, and said to Qin Peng with a smile: "Your Highness, can you drink?"

"A little bit." Qin Peng nodded: "Just for show."

Qin Shuhuai handed the wine over and Qin Peng took a sip.

This is rice wine, which tastes a little sweet, but has a strong aftertaste. "Liu Shuyan" beside her watched her drink and said gently, "This wine is sweet and refreshing, similar to fruit juice. If your highness likes it, you can drink more."

Qin Peng couldn't help but frown, wondering whether "Liu Shuyan" really didn't know how powerful the drunken man was, or if he had other intentions.

Fortunately, it doesn’t matter. When Qin Peng was in Beiyan, she could drink a lot.

It's not that she likes drinking, she's just afraid that something might happen if she gets drunk.

So although she didn't like drinking, she was very good at it. She drank wine, ate meat, the steam from the soup pot rose, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Qin Shuhuai saw that the time was right and chatted with Qin Peng about the past.

"I heard that when the Wei family got into trouble, most of the people left except for Wei Yan's second sister-in-law who committed suicide for love. Why didn't the princess leave?"

Qin Shuhuai poured wine for Qin Peng, and then clinked the bowls with Qin Peng. Since Qin Peng knew that Liu Shuyan's current behavior was not right, he also had some thoughts in mind. He sighed and said, "The Wei family has done nothing wrong to me. My husband is also a very good person. Why should I leave?"

"To be honest," Qin Peng said with a bitter look on her face, "Although I am a princess, I didn't have a good life in the palace. It was only after I married into the Wei family that I felt for the first time that people could live like this."

"But I heard that General Wei left on the day of his wedding," Qin Shuhuai said with a curious look, "You and he don't have a deep relationship, right?"

"You are joking, Master," Qin Peng smiled, raised his hand to tuck his hair behind his ears, and showed a look of nostalgia in his eyes: "Although Ah Yang passed away on the day of the wedding, he took good care of me. From the front line, I received a letter almost every seven days, with caring words."

"When I first got married, I was extremely nervous, worried that my husband didn't love me, that my in-laws didn't like me, and that I had to be humble all day long, fearing that I might offend someone. It was Ah Yang who gave me courage and confidence. At that time, he wrote me a letter every seven days, in which he would write about his daily life and ask how I was doing. If he saw something beautiful in the mountains, he would put it in a box and send it to me; if he saw a beautiful hairpin in the border town, he would also send it to me."

Qin Peng possesses the memories of her original self. When she doesn't suppress them, the memories and emotions of her original self will surge up. Although they are faint, they are real.

The only warmth in Qin Peng's life was given by Wei Yang.

So when Qin Peng talked about it, the affection and tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed at all. Qin Shuhuai listened quietly and kept Qin Peng's state at this time in mind. He continued to pour wine for Qin Peng: "The princess must have a deep affection for General Wei."

“Is that so…”

Qin Peng raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Qin Shuhuai's: "I wanted to wait for him to come back so that I could live a good life, but I never thought that he would not come back."

"So I thought, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come back. He has been good to me for so long, so I should be good to him. I will guard the house for him."

"So even though you have great talent, you still conceal your edge and spend ten years in the Huguo Temple."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, his eyes showing understanding. Qin Peng clinked his bowl with his again. He was thinking about something and didn't notice how much he drank. Whenever Qin Peng clinked his bowl with his, he drank. Qin Peng followed his words and sighed, "If Ah Ming hadn't been forced to ascend the throne, I would probably have been able to keep it for the rest of my life."

Qin Shuhuai listened and felt a little dizzy. Only then did he notice that he seemed to have drunk a little too much.

He was a little unable to think, and forced himself to ask: "Do you like Wei Yang?"

Qin Shuhuai asked this question just following Qin Peng's words. He felt dizzy. Qin Peng was actually a little drunk too, but not seriously. She supported her chin and chuckled.

"like?"

“I like it.”

"Qin Peng loves Wei Yang the most in his life."
