Chapter 1 Rebirth
Ji Mingzhu was reborn.
One moment she was in the delivery room, excruciatingly painful, and the next moment she was in the middle of a banquet.
There are familiar faces everywhere.
While pushing cups and changing cups, chatter and laughter rushed into Ji Mingzhu's ears.
In his absence, the wine spilled over and soaked his sleeves.
The cold touch came clearly, and Ji Mingzhu suddenly woke up. All this was not a dream.
"Look at this girl, she's drunk before she even drinks."
The beautiful woman beside her leaned over and wiped the wine with her handkerchief.
"It's cold in winter, what should I do if I catch a cold?"
The other person was so close that the concern in his eyes was clearly visible.
Ji Mingzhu whispered: "Aunt, I'm fine."
The person who was called aunt was the mother-in-law of the second house owner of the Xie family, and she was not related by blood to Ji Mingzhu.
Ji Mingzhu was born into a general, but her father died in battle when she was young.
Three years ago, my mother became seriously ill. I was afraid that she would be left alone and her relatives would kill her.
So he entrusted her to the handkerchief, Guan.
With the blessing of the Guan family and the Xie family, Ji Mingzhu saved most of the family business.
Now that I have grown hair, I can see each other.
Ji Mingzhu sat blankly where she was. Guan thought she was worried about what had just happened.
He comforted her with a warm voice, "We are all family members, don't be nervous."
Once he was reborn and returned to the time when he had no interaction with that person, Ji Mingzhu was in a daze.
The words seemed to have reached her ears, but they seemed not to have reached her ears.
Guan felt strange. Mingzhu was usually very generous, so a small mistake would not make her so uneasy.
"Go back quickly and change your clothes. Today is a good day for A Zheng. You must not lose your dignity."
A Zheng...
A tall figure immediately appeared in Ji Mingzhu's mind.
The man has bright features, noble temperament, can bring peace to the world with his writing skills, and can use his horse to make decisions in military affairs. He is the object of admiration of countless noble ladies in the capital.
If her memory was correct, today's banquet was to celebrate his triumph.
Thinking of the man who made her love and hate her, Ji Mingzhu's heart felt like a needle pricked her heart.
There was a slight pain.
Before she could feel uncomfortable, Mrs. Guan had already ordered her maid to help her up.
"If you feel unwell, just rest in the room. When the protagonist comes, your aunt will congratulate him for you."
It happened that Ji Mingzhu didn't want to meet Xie Yunzheng, so she bent her knees and performed a blessing ceremony.
"Aunt, I'll go back first."
"Well, come back."
After bowing to the ladies on the throne, Ji Mingzhu walked out of the hall with small steps.
The idea of being reborn was too unbelievable. She was very confused and walked faster and faster in the corridor.
It was like a wild beast was chasing her.
"Cousin, please walk slower and watch your steps carefully."
It snowed again just now, and some snowflakes drifted to the verandah, forming a thin layer of ice. If you are not careful, you may fall.
As soon as Jin Zi finished speaking, he saw his cousin at the corner and threw herself into the arms of the tall man.
The man was wearing a black cloak, his face was like a crown jewel, but the aura on his body was colder than the ice and snow outside.
Just looking at him casually made me feel like my scalp was numb.
Jin Zi quickly saluted, "Good morning, my dear son."
When Ji Mingzhu arrived at Xie's house, Xie Yunzheng was already on the battlefield.
If there were no memories of the previous life, today would be the first time they met.
The familiar cold rosin scent penetrated into his nose, and Ji Mingzhu's body seemed to be frozen.
Even the reaction was a few beats slow.
Xie Yunzheng's eyes suddenly darkened when a soft object suddenly bumped into his arms, carrying the unique fragrance of a woman. There was a flash of sharp color.
Just as he was about to scold him, the softness in his arms suddenly left.
"No offense intended, please don't take offense, Your Majesty." She quickly took two steps back, bowed and apologized.
Xie Yunzheng was tall. From his perspective, he could clearly see the pearls on the woman's head.
Everything is luxurious.
Looking at her clothes, they are all made of high-quality materials, not what a maid or a concubine should wear.
A white fox neckband was wrapped around her slender neck, and drop-shaped white jade hung from her ears. Her face was no bigger than a palm, and her eyebrows were lowered so that no one could clearly see the look in her eyes.
Xie Yunzheng's gaze only stayed for a moment, and then he walked forward quickly.
The entourage followed closely and reminded in a low voice, "Master, that is the girl from the Ji family, the second wife who came to seek refuge three years ago."
Xie Yunzheng paused.
Ji family... Then she probably didn't throw herself into her arms intentionally.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The coldness in his eyes disappeared a little.
When he reached the corner, Xie Yunzheng looked back for no apparent reason.
The woman stood under the eaves, and the dim light shone around her, as if emitting a holy light.
She still maintained her saluting posture, revealing half of her beautiful profile.
Although there was a distance, Xie Yunzheng had an intuition that the face should have snow-skinned skin and peach cheeks, which felt like jade.
Xie Yunzheng himself was startled by this thought.
When had he ever had such thoughts about a woman?
The ice that had finally melted under his eyes solidified again.
The Duke's mansion was so big, but they happened to meet each other, and she even ran into his arms.
Is this all a coincidence?
They were a couple in her previous life, and the other person was still the person she liked. Ji Mingzhu spent a lot of time working on Xie Yunzheng.
Therefore, although the glance he just had was fleeting, Ji Mingzhu still captured it.
The corners of his mouth curved into a mocking arc.
In Xie Yunzheng's eyes, she might have become a woman with ulterior motives again.
The rebirth happened so suddenly that Ji Mingzhu's love and hate for Xie Yunzheng were stuck at the highest point.
Thinking of being misunderstood by him, my heart still hurt uncontrollably.
He breathed out quietly.
Ji Mingzhu told herself that in her next life, she would never make the same mistakes again.
No matter who he was thinking about, it had nothing to do with her.
In this life, she will stay far away from Xie Yunzheng.
Xie Yunzheng's figure completely disappeared from the verandah, and Jin Zi subconsciously patted his chest.
"The Crown Prince is more scary than before. Cousin, we have to be more careful in the future and we can't bump into the Crown Prince again."
"We are lucky this time. The woman who bumped into the prince's arms last time was thrown out in public."
Ji Mingzhu nodded, "Don't worry, I will avoid any place with him in the future."
Jin Zi explained, "I don't mean that, I just want you to know that the prince cannot be provoked."
Xie Yunzheng is the legitimate son of the eldest son.
Her father is Duke Dingguo, and her mother is the princess of the county.
His status is noble enough, and he still has military merit. He is indeed someone who cannot be messed with.
Ji Mingzhu didn't know where she got the courage in her previous life. Not only did she pursue him, she also felt that she could melt this ice.
Turns out she was wrong.
Otherwise, she would have had a difficult delivery, how could Xie Yunzheng remain indifferent?
After she died, maybe Xie Yunzheng would set off firecrackers to celebrate, and then happily marry his sweetheart.
Ji Mingzhu gathered her thoughts and turned around in the opposite direction.
She was wearing a fiery red cloak, which was the richest color in the ice and snow.
Walking further and further away, never looking back once.
