She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

"Ah?" Li Jingwan was stunned.

Qi Ming was so nervous that he clenched his fists. He was a man who killed enemies without blinking an eye on the battlefield, but now he felt very uneasy, like a child who was caught by an adult.

"I know that I am of humble status and the descendant of a criminal, so I shouldn't dream of marrying Miss Li. But I... I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life, so I have to fight for it once..."

"Princess, I swear that I will treat Miss Li well and always put her first. If I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning and fall into the animal realm forever. Please grant my request."

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to Li Jingwan, each time hitting his head against the ground with a loud bang.

"Stop kowtowing." Li Jingwan was afraid that he would break his head just by hearing his voice, "Stand up and talk."

Qi Ming stopped kowtowing, but still knelt on the ground with a red and swollen forehead. "Please allow me, Princess."

It seemed as if if she didn't agree, she would die here today.

Li Jingwan understood Qi Ming's personality. He seemed introverted and silent but was actually very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, he would not change easily.

Chu Tingyu once laughed and said that Qi Ming looked silent and was not a hardworking ox, but actually a stubborn donkey.

Li Jingwan felt a little embarrassed, so she turned to look at him, tightened their clasped hands, and signaled him to speak with her eyes.

Chu Tingyu smiled slightly, "Qi Ming, are you trying to force the princess to agree?"

"I dare not." Qi Ming said quickly, "I just hope that the princess can give me a chance to propose marriage."

"If you want to propose marriage, you should go to the princess's mother. Parents are the ones who make the decision on their children's marriage."

Qi Ming pursed his lips and said, "I only listen to the princess. If the princess is willing, I will dare to do it."

Li Jingwan hurriedly tried to make amends for him, "Qi Ming, you should listen to the prince."

Qi Ming glanced at Chu Tingyu and followed her words, "Yes, I will listen to the prince too."

The implication of the words clearly put Li Jingwan before Chu Tingyu, which is extremely treasonous.

But Chu Tingyu was not angry, instead he was very satisfied.

Qi Ming takes Li Jingwan as his leader, which shows his gratitude and loyalty. No matter what happens in the future, he will definitely protect Li Jingwan.

Li Jingwan smiled helplessly, "Qi Ming, the prince just said that if you want to propose marriage, just go to the general's mansion. You can beg me, but don't you dare to go to my mother?"

"I heard from Young Master Li that Madam Yao finally listened to you and the prince..." Qi Ming spoke straightforwardly, "So I want to ask you first."

Chu Tingyu laughed, "No wonder you always go to the General's Mansion after returning to Beijing. You said you were going to teach Li Langqing archery, but actually you were going to see Li Huirou."

Qi Ming blushed when his thoughts were touched upon, and said in a lower voice, "Your Highness is very observant."

"I didn't expect you to be so scheming." Li Jingwan also smiled, "I agree to your request, get up."

Qi Ming then stood up and said hesitantly, "Princess, can you give me priority?"

The smile on Chu Tingyu's face deepened. This kid was hiding his true intentions very well and was even taking advantage of the situation.

"My suggestion and that of the prince are just for reference." Li Jingwan said seriously, "It all depends on Huirou's opinion. After all, this is a major event in her life."

Qi Ming nodded, "I understand."

In order to marry the one he loves, he rarely talks much.

"I have actually...actually, I have long had my eyes on Miss Li. Two years ago, the princess brought Miss Li to the capital camp. Miss Li gave me some medicine as a gift. At that time, I..."

The blush on his face deepened until his entire face turned red.

"I want to make great achievements and propose marriage when I have saved enough betrothal gifts, but I am still short of the betrothal gifts, so..."

"How much have you saved?" Chu Tingyu suddenly asked.

"Less than one third." Qi Ming was ashamed.

"According to what criteria?"

"Last year, the Marquis of Pingyang married Miss Yao, the cousin of the princess. I asked Young Master Li to look at the betrothal gift list."

He didn't want to let Li Huirou down. Although she was born out of wedlock, she still had to be prepared according to the standards for marrying a marquis' wife.

Chu Tingyu smiled, "The prince and the princess thought you were honest, but it turns out you already had spies."

Qi Ming lowered his head in embarrassment, and now the redness spread to his ears.

"If Li Huirou is interested in you, the king and the princess will pay for the rest of the betrothal gifts for you."

Qi Ming raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and after a moment of hesitation, he knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess."

-

Li Huirou's marriage was settled half a month later. None of the wealthy families in the capital who were interested in marrying her had expected that in the end it would be Qi Ming who would become the son-in-law of the general's mansion.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

Qi Ming was promoted by Chu Tingyu. He first served as his personal bodyguard, then went to the northwest to fight and made meritorious service. After returning to Beijing, he was entrusted with important tasks.

Despite his young age, he has already reached the fourth rank in officialdom and has a bright future ahead of him.

Chu Tingyu chose him in order to win him over.

And it was said that seeing the stern Prince Jing who obeyed the princess's orders, the General's Mansion chose Qi Ming to expand its power.

No matter how well people analyze it, they are actually missing the point.

Qi Ming was chosen for only two reasons.

First, he and Li Huirou have a mutual affection for each other, and second, Li Jingwan and the General's Mansion understand his character and know that Li Huirou will not suffer if she marries him.

The wedding was scheduled for April, when spring is in full bloom.

As Li Huirou's eldest sister, and since Yao is also old, Li Jingwan has to worry about this matter.

Fortunately, with the help of brothers Li Dingzheng and Bai Yiyi, she saved a lot of effort.

On the wedding day, Li Jingwan watched the matchmaker putting makeup on Li Huirou. The little girl who always stuck to her in the past was about to become a wife and a mother. Time passed by so quickly.

She sighed softly and patted her lower back with her hand.

Bai Yiyi, who was sitting next to her, was watching Li Huirou putting on makeup with interest and saw her movements.

"Sister Xiaowan, are you feeling unwell? I saw you hitting your lower back several times today."

"Maybe I'm a little tired these past two days, and my body feels a little weak." Li Jingwan shook her head, "Just take a two-day rest. We'll go horseback riding in the suburbs in a couple of days. Do you want to join us?"

"Of course I'll go." Bai Yiyi agreed quickly, with a proud tone, "I'm really good at riding and shooting now, I'll show it to everyone this time."

Li Jingwan smiled and teased, "When I look for a marriage for you, I'd better choose a husband who can ride and shoot."

"Sister Xiaowan, please don't tease me. I don't want to get married yet." Bai Yiyi took her arm and acted coquettishly, "The capital is so fun, and my father is not here. I want to play for a few more years."

"It's best if you're happy, but you have to make plans."

Bai Yiyi followed her to Beijing, and she had long regarded her as her own sister, so she had to pay attention to her marriage.

Bai Yiyi changed the subject abruptly, "The wedding procession will be here soon. I'm going to find Ah Han and ask him to prepare to carry Sister Huirou."

As he spoke, he stood up and ran away.

Li Jingwan smiled and went forward to help her sister put on the jewelry.

At the main gate of the general's mansion, there were bursts of firecrackers. Li Jingwan watched the wedding procession go away, her eyes slightly moist.

In her previous life, she was unable to see Li Huirou get married, but in this life, her fate finally changed and she had a happy ending.

-

During the period after Qi Ming and Li Huirou got married, Qin Chongxiao usually did not stay in the mansion if he was on vacation.

It was his turn to take a day off today, so he went out early in the morning, saying that he had an appointment with Chu Tingyu to have a small gathering at the palace today.

"My lord, do you want to prepare a carriage?" the servant asked.

"No." Qin Zhongxiao shook his head, "You don't have to follow me, I'll go out alone."

After returning to the capital for more than a year, he was still more accustomed to being alone and often went out without his servants.

Since his true identity was confirmed, the emperor sympathized with his past difficulties and, considering his military achievements, he made an exception and conferred him a marquisate.

He could have lived a leisurely life as a marquis, but Qin Chongxiao chose to work in the Ministry of Works.

Among the six ministries, except for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works is the worst choice, with little benefits and a lot of work to do, but at the same time it is a place where practical work is done.

After Qin Chongxiao left, he did a lot of things, and sometimes he had to leave Beijing to handle them. Zhong was always worried about him and hinted at him in the hope that he would go out less often.

She had finally found her biological child and hoped to spend more time with him.

After Qin Chongxiao was named Marquis, she and her husband moved to the Marquis' Mansion. The family had gradually become familiar with each other, and blood is always thicker than water.

Now Qin Chongxiao is already 34 years old but has not yet married, and Zhong is very anxious.

At first, when she was still getting along with her son, Zhong didn't dare to say much. But now seeing that Qi Ming, who was much younger than Qin Chongxiao, was married, she became more and more anxious and began to urge him.

Qin Chongxiao found an excuse to hide away and get some peace and quiet.

Although he knew that Zhong was thinking about him, he had almost died once and was much more indifferent to the major life events that the world valued.

He is not against getting married, he just doesn't want to live with someone he doesn't like.

Many years ago, he had wanted to marry someone, but she was already someone else's wife, so he let it go.

The capital city was already bustling in the morning. Qin Chongxiao slowed down his pace and looked at the smiling faces of the people passing by. He felt that the suffering he had endured on the battlefield was worth it.

The closer you get to Prince Jing's Mansion, the fewer people there are on the road.

When Qin Chongxiao was thinking about a reform that the Ministry of Industry would launch in the second half of the month, a familiar female voice came from behind him -

"No place!"

He was startled and stopped, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Another voice rang out, "No place."

The person who was speaking got closer, and Qin Chongxiao finally turned around.

In front of him, Nagya, dressed as a woman of the prosperous dynasty, was smiling at him with a smug look on her face.

"Miss, you've got the wrong person." Qin Chongxiao's expression was calm.

"I'm not wrong." Nagya stepped forward. "If it wasn't you, why did you stop?"

"I remember your voice." Nagya's eyes were bright, as if she could see through all the disguises in the world. "Even if you are not wearing a mask, I am not mistaken, Qin Chongxiao."

The last three words were spoken with great emphasis, containing a hint of complaint.

"So this is what you look like." Nagya was as talkative as ever, staring at Qin Zhongxiao carefully, "Has the wound on your face healed?"

Since she could call out his name, Qin Chongxiao didn't need to hide it. Nagya must have found out his identity.

"It's cured." Qin Chongxiao nodded.

"You are so handsome." Nagya always spoke boldly, "But I don't judge by appearance. I would still like you even if you were disfigured."

Qin Chongxiao was somewhat helpless, "Princess, why are you here? Where is your attendant?"

Nagya looked a little lonely, "I am no longer a princess."
