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

That night when he was off duty in the imperial study, Zhong Jin told Qi Yue about going to the Shen family for the holidays.

Qiyue frowned: "Isn't this against the rules?"

"Your Majesty agreed."

Qiyue was slightly surprised, then fell silent, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she said: "The New Year's holiday is an opportunity for me."

"What chance?"

"Her Majesty the Queen has temporarily put down her royal duties. In this rare leisure time, I can ask your Majesty some more things so that I can serve your Majesty in the future." Qiyue lowered her eyebrows and said, "I want to learn more things."

Zhong Zhongjin's expression was faint: "Does this mean you don't want to celebrate the festival?"

Qi Yue heard that his tone was not quite right, and she felt a little guilty for some reason. She coughed lightly and said, "It's not..."

Zhong Jin looked at her expressionlessly.

Qiyue's scalp was numb when he looked at her, and she suddenly felt that she was a little ignorant.

"Then, can't I go?" Qiyue couldn't withstand the attack from his eyes. In addition, during this period of time, she always went back on her word, and she always felt that she lacked confidence when facing Sheng Jinshi, "But you know, this New Year's Eve, It should be in the palace..."

"Let's go back together after the New Year's Eve banquet." Zhong Jin said, "Tomorrow morning, you and I will eat dumplings together on New Year's Eve."

"Don't you have to go into the palace to pay New Year greetings to His Majesty tomorrow?"

"No need." Zhong Jin shook his head, "In the past years, Her Majesty the Queen did not have the habit of letting others pay New Year greetings. She likes to get together with her family."

Even if there are no officials paying New Year greetings, the Changming Palace is not deserted. After all, there are so many palace people making dumplings together in the morning. It is lively and the atmosphere is enough.

Besides, there are also the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Xian this year. They should eat dumplings with His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.

"Um."

"Okay, don't think so much." Zhong Zhongjin reached out and pinched her ears, "Your Majesty only gave you two days off. You have to go back to Changming Palace on the third day of the new year. Even if I want to keep you in the Shen family for a long time, I won’t dare to disobey His Majesty’s will even if I stay here for a few days.”

Qiyue said oh, still not knowing what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, she felt a little sorry for Zhong Jin: "My lord, have you ever thought about marrying a wife who is virtuous and capable of running a household?"

Zhong Jin frowned and looked at her displeased.

"Actually, I am not suitable for you. You are not young now. Most of the young masters from aristocratic families already have children——"

"You are wrong." Zhong Zhongjin said slowly, "Since Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, the age at which the princes of the imperial family get married has increased again and again. Before the weak crown, there were very few people who got married, and they usually only married when they were around twenty-five years old. Give birth to a child.”

"Why?"

"Think for yourself."

Qiyue was silent for a while and explained: "The point I just expressed is not about my age, but my temperament and identity. To adults, it may be..."

"What's wrong with your status?" Zhong Zhongjin raised his eyebrows, "Your official position is still small now. When His Majesty puts him in a position of importance in the future, you will be a veritable celebrity in the imperial court. Moreover, you don't have to worry about the royal wife being jealous. Then you will be able to It’s just that I, my lord, have flattered you..."

His voice faltered, and Zhong Jin suddenly thought of something and squinted at her: "Are you just thinking that if you get promoted and become a popular person in front of His Majesty, you can marry someone better?"

Qi Yue frowned and looked at him with strange eyes: "Master Shen really thinks too much. Do you think other men are as confused as you? When you have time, you can go to the market and find out the standards for choosing wives by young men from aristocratic families. , who doesn’t want to be virtuous and virtuous? I will only be classified as unruly, who dares to marry me?”

Zhong Jin thought to himself, you know nothing.

The standard for a young man from an aristocratic family to choose a wife is naturally virtuous, virtuous, beautiful and smart, but the most important thing is family background. Why should we look at family background?

Strong marriages are also made possible by connections and influence.

Qiyue herself has connections.

When she really reaches the level of a famous person in the imperial court, I am afraid that all the officials in the court will rush to get their sons to marry her.

However, the imperial celebrity cannot do it in three or two years.

"What are you thinking, sir?"

Zhong Zhongjin came back to his senses: "You don't need to call me Sir, it's too unfamiliar."

"Your Majesty's official position is higher than mine, what would you call me if you don't call me Sir?"

Zhong Jin said: "You can call me Brother Jin."

Brother Jin?

Qiyue's expression cracked for a moment, and she looked at him strangely, as if she was looking at some strange creature.

"What's wrong?"

nausea.

Qiyue cursed, she would not utter such a disgusting and disgusting name.

But no matter what, Qiyue did as Zhongjin wished. On New Year's Eve, she packed up two pieces of clothes and moved to Shen's house.

In fact, she herself was not sure whether she acquiesced to Zhong Jin's pursuit. She used to worry about the issue of whether men and women would be intimate, but now she seemed to think it didn't matter anymore.

Zhong Zhongjin seizes every opportunity to get along with her, and is determined not to give anyone a chance - although not many people know that Qi Yue is a girl.

But there were two young men from aristocratic families in the Imperial Study Room who were not yet married, especially Yu Qiubai, who looked elegant and noble, and had a bookish air about him. There was no guarantee that Qi Yue would not be tempted by him.

Zhongjin had to guard against it.

However, on New Year's Eve this year, Shen Yushi was obviously unhappy. Looking at Qiyue being brought home again, he almost wanted to yell, "Zhongzhongjin!"

Qiyue was startled, turned around and looked at Shen Yushi, who came angrily, and bowed politely: "Master Shen."

Yes, Censor Shen is also called Lord Shen, and Shen Chongjin is still called Lord Shen.

Qi Yue sighed, thinking that it was not her who wanted to come, but Shen Chongjin who insisted that she come. If Censor Shen is angry, please make sure to vent it on your son.

"Father, calm down." Shen Chongjin stretched out his hand and pulled his father aside, whispering, "This is the task given to me by Her Majesty the Queen, let me take care of her."

Censor Shen said angrily: "You are talking nonsense--"

"If father does not believe it, you can go to the palace and ask Her Majesty the Queen now."

Censor Shen choked, and his anger subsided: "Is it really Her Majesty's idea?"

"It really is." Shen Chongjin nodded with great certainty.

He did not intend to let his father know that Qi Yue was a girl for the time being. It was okay to be suspected of being a homosexual, anyway, no one could be sure.

But men and women should not be close to each other. His father was an old-fashioned man who attached great importance to etiquette. If he knew that he was so close to a little girl, I was afraid he would not know what his reaction would be.

"Why?"

"Qi Yue has just entered the court, her official position is still low, and she doesn't have her own residence, but her home is so far away from the imperial city, so she definitely can't go back for the New Year, so..."

Censor Shen understood.

His eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he quietly turned his head to look at Qi Yue, who was still a teenager, and was indeed quite pitiful.

The censor was silent for a moment, and looked at Shen Zhongjin coldly: "In short, you'd better not have any inappropriate thoughts, and don't make bad rumors, otherwise I won't forgive you."

After saying this, he turned and left.
