After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

There really is something special about a woman who can make Zhong Jin fall in love.

The art of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth?

Chu Qinghuang secretly thought, if he really had the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, why would he have to go all the way to take the scientific examination to become an official?

"Your name is Qiyue?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Qi Yue was frightened and tried to keep calm, "Yes."

"Who else is at home?"

Qi Yue's face changed slightly. At this moment, she could not remember what she had made up with Zhong Jinhu outside the palace. She replied obediently, "Both of Cao Min's parents are alive and well, and there is an older brother."

"Brother also studies?"

"...Yes." Qiyue nodded subconsciously, and then added honestly, "But my brother is not good at reading. He only knows how to read and is not very knowledgeable."

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "Why are you studying?"

Qiyue sighed involuntarily, His Majesty indeed asked her this question.

After regaining her composure, she replied: "For my own ambitions and ambitions, and to do something for the people."

"Any more?"

Her Majesty the Queen asked this question in a mixed tone, and no emotion could be heard, but it made Qi Yue suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

"I..." Her face turned pale, and she tried to keep her voice steady, "The common people... the common people also want their daughters to be self-reliant. The common people admire Her Majesty the Queen's courage and courage, and admire Her Majesty's ability to govern the country and ensure peace. Thinking of the Queen When doing things around His Majesty, I will follow His Majesty’s example and do my best to be loyal and humble. I hope Her Majesty the Queen will be aware of this!”

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Qiyue said everything she needed to say in one breath. Although it was flattering, it was mostly her sincere words.

It was because His Majesty's courage to govern the country was admirable, and because today's emperor is a saintly queen who only meets once in hundreds of years, that's why she came up with the idea of ​​participating in the scientific examination as a woman.

Before coming to the imperial capital, she had thought that the worst consequence would be to have her identity exposed. She also had a bit of a gambling mentality. She was betting that Her Majesty the Queen would tolerate and acquiesce to women participating in the scientific examination, and she was even happy to see such a situation.

She was betting that His Majesty wouldn't kill her.

But whether she won or lost the bet, there was no denying the psychological pressure she was suffering from at this time.

"Daughters should strive for self-improvement?" Chu Qinghuang automatically ignored the flattery and intercepted the most important sentence from a long series of words, "Explain the meaning of this sentence."

Qiyue wanted to faint instantly.

But she didn't dare.

"Report...back to Your Majesty, the common people...the common people..." Qiyue Zhan was trembling, and the cold sweat on his forehead was clearly visible, "The common people are girls, and they disguised themselves as men to participate in the scientific examination. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the common people deserve to die! Your Majesty ...Your Majesty, can you not kill me? I...I am still young and I don’t want to die yet..."

The corners of Chu Qinghuang's lips raised, and his eyes fell calmly on the top of her head: "Since you know that it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, how dare you knowingly commit the crime?"

"The common people are guilty! The common people really just want to admire Her Majesty the Queen's majesty and grace, want to be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, and want to do what they can for the people of the world, but... But women are not qualified to participate in the scientific examination. If they are not women By pretending to be a man, Cao Min will never have the chance to see His Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to kill me, can you..." Qi Yue took a deep breath, "Can you spare Cao Min's family? Please forgive me! "

Seeing that she was so frightened, Chu Qinghuang had almost asked all the questions he should ask, so he turned around and said, "Fu Cang, get her a stool."

Fucang brought a small spoon from the inner hall, which was the one where Wen Zhan sat before.

"Sit down."

Qi Yue was confused, sit down?

A moment ago it was a matter of life and death, now let her sit down?

"I see that you are indeed an interesting girl. Sit down and say." Chu Qinghuang's voice became gentler. "I will not kill you, nor will I implicate your family. Don't worry."

Qi Yue felt as if she had just escaped from the gate of hell, returned to the human world safely and safely, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen." She bowed respectfully, raised her eyes slightly, and saw the little hoe placed beside her. Her legs were still weak when she stood up.

He sat down shakily, put his hands on his knees, and stared at the black palace tile floor, looking well-behaved.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty already knew that Cao Min was a woman?"

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "Zhong Zhongjin begged for your favor in advance, saying that you have difficulties, that you are a smart and sensitive girl, and advised me to cherish talents and love them. I see that you are indeed a good girl."

Qiyue was stunned.

Master Shen begged for her in advance?

So she knew he was a girl early on, and she saw it in front of Her Majesty the Queen, and she was pardoned for the crime of deceiving the emperor without her knowing?

"Of course, the crime of deceiving the emperor cannot be easily forgiven." Chu Qinghuang's voice was calm, "But since Mr. Shen is willing to guarantee his life, I am willing to give him this face. If you do something you shouldn't do in the future, he will follow You are punished as well.”

Guarantee with your life?

Qi Yue was stunned, Zhong Jin was obviously a treacherous villain with sinister intentions, scheming, and dirty intentions. How could he risk his life to vouch for her?

Chu Qinghuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea gracefully and calmly.

It turns out that Zhong Jin had such an impression on little girl Qi. Look at how many failures there are in life.

"I have always wanted to let women serve as officials in the court." She said lightly, "But everything is difficult at the beginning. Since you have entered the court disguised as a man and have good knowledge, you can work for me after the palace examination."

Qi Yue knelt down again hurriedly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will be loyal to Your Majesty and will never dare to have other thoughts."

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "I am not worried that you have other thoughts, as long as you are lucky enough."

"I dare not." Qi Yue broke out in a cold sweat again.

"If there is nothing else, leave."

"Yes. I will leave."

Qi Yue stood up, lowered his eyebrows and eyes and left Changming Palace. He retreated to the palace gate and turned around to step out of the threshold.

When the wind blew outside, he shivered.

"What do you think of her, Your Majesty?" Fu Cang refilled Chu Qinghuang's tea, sat down next to her, and chatted, "She doesn't seem to be very courageous."

"How many people are born brave and not afraid of death?" Chu Qinghuang drank a sip of tea, "You didn't seem to have much courage at the beginning."

Fu Cang was silent, "Nuan Nuan is right."

"It doesn't matter if she's not very courageous, just practice in the future." Chu Qinghuang said, "Besides, she dared to dress up as a man to participate in the imperial examination, who can say that she is a timid person?"

Fu Cang nodded silently.

That's true.

It's mainly because the majesty of Her Majesty the Queen is too heavy, and everyone will be nervous in front of her.

"Generally speaking, she is good and can take on important tasks." Chu Qinghuang made a summary, "She is also lively and interesting in temperament, suitable for Shen Zhongjin."

But being suitable is one thing, and when Shen Zhongjin can marry her is another.

Fu Cang raised his lips: "Nuan Nuan said it's good, then it must be good."
