Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Arriving at the dining room, Jiang Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the table full of sumptuous dishes.

"You did it all?"

Don't tell me, it looks pretty delicious.

Qin Jue said "Yeah", "I am the only one in the cold palace, so I will always spend more time studying food."

"It tastes better and I can be happier."

What I said... was a bit sad.

Jiang Li said "Oh" and said nothing more.

I sat down and tasted the food in front of me. It tasted... really good.

To be honest, ancient meals lacked good seasonings, so the taste could only be described as average.

Fortunately, she is not a gluttonous person and does not have high requirements for food, as long as she does not starve to death.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I stay here for a few days, I'll be driven crazy by the food.

But what Qin Jue made... tastes really good, which is quite surprising.

She tasted a few of them and they were all to her liking, so she didn't hesitate to praise them, "It's delicious."

Qin Jue showed a rare smile, "It's rare that you like it."

After a pause, he placed the small plate of pastries in front of Jiang Li.

"Try this again?"

Jiang Li: "..."

She smiled politely and said, "I declined."

Qin Jue:...?

Qin Jue refused to give up, "It tastes really good. Why don't you just take a bite?"

In fact, Jiang Li is not that averse to pastries. It’s not that he can’t eat even one bite.

But she has a stubborn streak. How could she compromise at a time like this?

She said firmly, "I really don't want to eat it."

Qin Jue was silent for a moment, but in the end he didn't persuade him any more and just said, "Then I'll try another one for you next time."

Jiang Li: "..."

Didn't you see that this guy is so mean-spirited?

Without further words, Jiang Li concentrated on cooking.

After a while, Qin Jue spoke again, "Will you return to the palace tomorrow?"

"Well, let's go after breakfast."

"I send you?"

Jiang Li said nonchalantly, "No, I can just go back by myself."

Qin Jue glanced at her and pursed his lips slightly, "You...when can I see you when I go back this time?"

Jiang Li glanced at him in surprise, "...Huh?"

Qin Jue lowered his eyes and avoided her gaze, his face turned a little red again, but he still said directly, "Don't you understand? I said I wanted to see you off and asked when I could see you again because I couldn't bear to leave you."

"When you women face this situation, shouldn't you feel even more reluctant to give up? Why are you like a piece of wood?"

Jiang Li: "..."

To be honest, this was not the first time that a man had scolded her like a piece of wood.

Some people always say that she has a stupid head and doesn't understand amorous feelings.

But... they don't understand, it's not that she doesn't understand the style, it's that she doesn't want to understand it.

She has never liked anyone, so naturally it is difficult for her to focus more on anyone.

So where does she have the time to analyze in detail what the other person's every move is expressing?

So she told Qin Jue very honestly at this time, "Oh, I was just focused on eating, so I didn't think much about it."

Then she gave Qin Jue a loving look, "Actually, I really can't let you go, really!"

After saying that, she popped another mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Qin Jue: "..."

Do you think I believe it? Do you seem reluctant to part with it? ? ?

After Jiang Li had eaten and drank enough, he stood up and said, "Let's go, it's the last night. I'll teach you some words."

This time Jiang Li not only taught Chinese characters, but also read a book to Qin Jue.

After reading a lot of books herself, she selected a few for Qin Jue to read.

"You've almost learned the common words. Now you can read. If you encounter rare words in the book, write them down. I'll teach you next time."

"These books are also carefully selected by me from the regular reading books. There are too many other feudal dross, so there is no need to read them. Just read these."

"Today I will only tell you the meaning of this book. After you have read it thoroughly, you can try reading other books by yourself. I will explain it to you next time I have a chance."

Qin Jue nodded without any objection.

In fact, many times from Jiang Li's voice and daily interactions, Qin Jue has felt that Jiang Li's ideas are advanced, but also very reasonable.

And Jiang Li was indeed teaching him seriously, so now he no longer doubts what Jiang Li said.

The time for studying always passed quickly, and it was late at night before he knew it, and Jiang Li gradually fell asleep to the sound of reading.

This time, Qin Jue actually found out before she fell asleep, but for some reason, he didn't want to call her.

It wasn't until she fell asleep that his eyes fell on her face again.

Under the candlelight, her sleeping face was quiet and soft.

My heart beat twice inexplicably, as if some secret thoughts were gradually taking root.

Putting down the book, Qin Jue stood up, picked her up firmly, and walked toward the bed.

Just like last time, Qin Jue took off her shoes and socks and covered her with the quilt carefully.

He turned to leave, but stopped after taking two steps and couldn't help but look back at Jiang Li.

This time...she didn't talk in her sleep, nor did she pull him away.

Qin Jue stood still for a moment, then finally pursed his lips and turned to leave.

During breakfast the next day, Jiang Li walked into the dining room with her unsteady body. Looking at Qin Jue who was already sitting there waiting for him, she spoke with a bit of resentment.

"Next time, could you please do your best and at least help me take off my coat?"

Wearing that heavy coat, it was extremely uncomfortable to sleep that night.

Qin Jue coughed lightly, "Isn't this...not good?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, "Why are you still pretending to be innocent?"

"I kissed you and hugged you. Do you think it's okay to ask you to take off your clothes?"

Qin Jue: "..."

Forget it, don't argue with her.

Qin Jue pretended not to hear, pulled out a chair for her and asked her to sit down.

"I have something to discuss with you." Qin Jue said, "The palace is a little short of money just relying on salary, so I plan to buy a few shops and let them run them. What do you think?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay, you are the master of the palace, what do you want me to do? Just do it if you want to."

Qin Jue took a deep look at her and said, "You are the future mistress. Naturally, we should discuss things with you."

"Since you have no objection, I will start organizing the matter after the Emperor's birthday."

"Do you need help?" Jiang Li blinked, "I can lend it to you!"

"No need." Qin Jie declined politely, "I can't rely on you for everything. Your Jiang family also has their own shop to take care of. I can do it myself."

Jiang Li said nothing more, "Okay, you can make up your own mind."

After breakfast, Jiang Li took Lan Yin on the carriage back to the palace.

On the carriage, Lan Yin hesitated to speak, but finally asked, "Princess, the prince's side... are you sure you don't need someone to keep an eye on you?"

"If he has his own financial resources, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control it later."

"No need." Jiang Li answered simply.

"Games are meaningless if the opponent is too weak."

She smiled and said, "I taught Qin Jue so much, not just for him to do things internally. Isn't it interesting to watch him grow up?"
