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

Zhong Zhongjin turned back to Qi Yue and said, "Let's go."

"nailed it?"

"Um."

"I think I'd better not come here in the future." Qiyue frowned, with a subtle expression, "Every time I see the eyes of Master Yushi, I feel like a shameless mouse."

Zhong Jin turned his head and glanced at her.

This mouse has a small face as big as a palm, with fair skin, a pair of clear and clean eyes that seem to be free from dust, and eyelashes that are long and curled, making them beautiful.

Tsk.

Zhong Zhongjin chuckled: "Is there such a beautiful mouse as you?"

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then glared at him angrily: "I'm serious, I'm not kidding you."

Zhong Zhongjin raised his hand and knocked her on the head: "I'm serious, aren't you prettier than a mouse?"

Qiyue: "..."

The two of them walked into the courtyard one after another. The maid who passed by saluted and left quickly. Shen Zhongjin raised her hand to close the courtyard door and took Qi Yue to the house where she lived before: "Your residence has been reserved for you, and there are people there every day. Clean it up.”

Qiyue didn't know what to say, so she could only say: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zhong Zhongjin stepped over the threshold with a leisurely voice, "Anyway, you will become the hostess here sooner or later."

"Who sooner or later——"

"You." Zhong Zhongjin turned around, looked at her with a smile, stretched out his long arm and pressed her against the door panel, "Qi Yue, do you still want to reject me?"

Qiyue was startled, her slender body pressed tightly against the door panel: "You, what are you doing? Don't... don't mess around..."

"I'm not messing around." Zhong Jin was smiling obviously, but his eyes gradually deepened and his voice became much deeper, "Qi Yue."

Qiyue swallowed: "Do...what?"

"Am I good-looking?"

Qi Yue looked at the face so close to her, and said in good conscience that it was definitely good-looking among men, and not just average, "It's... not bad."

Zhong Jin raised his hand and hooked her hair: "What do I do to you?"

Qi Yue thought of how Zhong Jin had taken care of her intentionally or unintentionally these days, and how he had interceded for her in front of Her Majesty the Queen. She even thought of the reason why she could work calmly in the imperial study and face Her Majesty the Queen every day without worrying about her daughter's identity being revealed. It can be said that Shen Zhongjin contributed a lot.

Although this man always had a mean mouth and always bullied her before, but overall, he was still very good to her.

Although it's good for a purpose...well, it's really good.

Unable to say anything against her will, Qiyue could only nod honestly: "It's...not bad."

"Then do you think I will be a qualified husband?"

Qiyue's heart skipped a beat: "I, how do I know..."

Zhong Jinpo said helplessly, "Her Majesty the Queen asked you to focus on business for the time being, but she didn't say not to let you think about these things."

"You can't do two things at the same time." Qiyue tried to keep him away from her, "Get out of the way first, it won't be convenient to talk."

"It's nothing inconvenient." Zhongjin's voice was gentle and beguiling, with a bit of a smile, "Are you worried that I will eat you?"

Qiyue couldn't help being nervous and pretended to be fierce: "If you do this again, I...I will file a complaint with Her Majesty the Queen."

Zhong Jin slowly lowered his head, looking at her pink and red lips.

Qiyue's expression changed: "Zhongzhongjin!"

Zhong Jin stopped moving, saw the uneasiness and resistance in her eyes, and pursed his lips slightly, "You hate me?"

"...This is wrong." Qi Yue took a deep breath, "Zhong Zhongjin, although I have masculine ambitions, studying for scientific examinations, and becoming an official, it does not mean that I don't care about men and women. I cannot accept this. , We don’t have any relationship yet, I don’t want to..."

Zhong Jin was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I scared you."

As he said that, he took a step back.

Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief, trying to ease the embarrassment in front of her, "It's not that I don't like you, nor do I hate you, but I...I can't accept it so quickly..."

She hasn't put her mind on the relationship between a man and a woman yet, and even if she does fall in love, she can't accept any physical contact before getting married.

Zhong Jin snorted: "I understand, you don't need to explain."

Qi Yue bit her lip, no need to explain?

She felt the need to explain.

"I'm going to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet tonight, and I might not be back until very late." Zhong Jin said, "Do you want to sleep first?"

Qi Yue shook her head: "No need."

"Then go take a shower, change your clothes and take a rest."

Qiyue still shook her head.

"I won't do anything to you." Zhong Jin sighed, regretting that he scared her, "I have to tell you something in advance."

Qiyue raised her eyes to look at him.

"Her Majesty the Queen left the Imperial City after the New Year's Eve party and left me a mission... I should say, she left a mission for you."

Qiyue was surprised: "You left me a task?"

"Um."

Zhong Jin told her Chu Qinghuang's request. Qi Yue was speechless after hearing this and was speechless for a long time.

"So, when His Majesty leaves after the New Year, I have to be with Master Shen every day?"

Zhong Jin was silent: "You don't want to?"

"Not really." Qiyue just felt uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty is not in the Imperial Capital, so you don't have to accompany him every day. Naturally, you need to spend more time on the tasks assigned by His Majesty. I will sort it out for you when the time comes, which is better than having to sort it out and memorize it by yourself. good."

Qiyue was right.

There are so many officials in the court, and it is not an easy task to not only remember their background information, but also to understand their temperaments, preferences, and behavior styles.

But Qi Yue can understand what His Majesty means.

She is the only official female official beside Her Majesty the Queen. She is still in the initial stage. In the future, she wants to be His Majesty's assistant. The more she knows about officials, the better she will be able to advise His Majesty when necessary.

It can also more accurately judge officials’ thoughts during discussions.

"You take a rest first, I'll have someone bring you some food." Zhong Jin turned around to leave.

"Master Shen." Qi Yue stopped him and spoke hesitantly, "It's not that I hate Master Shen getting close to me, but I'm just not used to being intimate yet. I hope you understand."

Zhong Zhongjin smiled, reached out and rubbed her head: "I know, I was the one who was rude just now, I will apologize to you."

Qiyue said no.

Zhongjin turned and left.

Qiyue stood in front of the door, staring at his tall and thin back, frowning slightly, thinking of his actions just now, her cheeks heated up unconsciously.

What a contradictory man.

Qiyue curled her lips. When a gentleman is a gentleman, he is very gentlemanly and does good deeds without leaving his name behind.

When he teases people, he doesn't act like a gentleman at all.

When he was serious, he seemed extra steady and considerate, as if she had misunderstood him.

Qiyue walked to the window and sat down, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and it seemed that even the smell of the food was particularly clear.

The atmosphere of the New Year is very strong, and every household is busy.

She was the only one with nothing to do.

The Shen family was also busy, but no one came to disturb Zhong Jin in his yard, so Qi Yue could have some peace and quiet.
