After Jin Shan left, Zheng Zhun asked Zhou Min with a smile, "Where is the girl from the Qin family now? I haven't seen her for a long time and I really miss her. I heard that she returned to Beijing a few days ago, and I want to ask her for a few drinks."

Zhou Min's face was slightly hot, and he smiled awkwardly: "She is in the palace."

Zheng Zhun said "Oh" with a smile in his eyes, "Did the emperor summon her to the palace?"

Zhou Min coughed lightly and protested quietly, "Teacher!"

Zheng Zhun laughed and said, "You hit a wall with her, didn't you?"

Zhou Min stopped smiling, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, and he sighed: "Teacher, is it true that there is really no such thing as having the best of both worlds?"

If he had known Qin Shu earlier, if Qin Shu came from a noble family...

Zhou Min murmured, "Teacher, she is the one I have always wanted, and the one who is in tune with me. She is smart and clever, and working with her will always get twice the result with half the effort."

"I don't need to say too much, she knows what I want. No matter how complicated and difficult the matter is, she can always solve the problem easily."

Unlike the princess, whose mind always stays in the back house, and who only sees the love between husband and wife and the competition for favor among wives and concubines.

Qin Shu is different from all the women in this world.

He was attracted to her and was deeply fascinated by her.

In this relationship, Qin Shu is always like a spectator on a high platform.

He tried his best to invite her to dance, but she was always cold and distant, keeping him at a distance.

No one knew the loss and shock he felt when he saw Qin Shu rushing towards the front hall regardless of everything in the back hall that day.

I believe that with Qin Shu's intelligence, she must have guessed that it was him who kept her in the palace.

That's why she wanted to escape.

He brought Qin Shu back to the back hall and held her in his arms.

No one knew that when he finally kissed her lips, his heart was completely out of order in an instant.

Of course he saw the flash of disgust in Qin Shu's eyes.

so what?

She belongs to him after all!

It must also belong to yourself!

Zheng Zhun had never expected that the Prince of Jin, who was always calm, sober and restrained, would actually have the day when he would worry about a woman.

Judging from his appearance, he is clearly deeply in love.

Zheng Zhun sighed and asked softly, "What about the Qin family girl? What is her attitude?"

Zhou Min sighed with infinite melancholy and said discouragedly: "She doesn't want to."

Zheng Zhun sighed and nodded, "It's expected. This girl, although she looks weak, is actually very stubborn. Her pride is hidden in her bones and blood."

"When people encounter difficulties, they will bow their heads, show weakness, and be tolerant. But her bowing of her head is not humbleness; her tolerance is not timidity or retreat, but a kind of flexibility."

"She has never been a woman willing to stay in the backyard and depend on a man. If you can't treat her equally with yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep her heart."

Zhou Min didn't reply.

Zheng Zhun also knew that once he set his mind on something, he would not give up or admit defeat easily.

When it comes to love matters, no one can persuade him unless he thinks it through himself.

I just hope that he will suffer less injuries by then.

I also hope that the girl's men can show some mercy.

In Zhengyuan Palace.

As a female official appointed by the Emperor himself, Qin Shu was naturally treated differently from other female officials.

She was only a temporarily appointed female official who served the emperor in Zhengyuan Palace and provided him with writing materials and medicines. Naturally, she did not need to go around worshipping at temples.

Li Dexian asked his apprentice to get a set of palace clothes and bedding for Qin Shu, and arranged for her to live in the back hall.

After settling down, Li Dexian told Qin Shu some rules of serving the emperor.

Because the emperor was still weak and unable to attend court to govern, Qin Shu was only responsible for the emperor's medicine.

The emperor took into consideration that she had not been home for a long time and she was the only master in the family, so he granted her a day off and allowed her to settle down in the Qin's shop before returning to the palace to work.

Originally, everyone thought she was going to walk back, but unexpectedly, when she walked out of the palace gate, she saw Mo Laowu driving a carriage and waiting outside the palace gate.

Seeing her coming out, he quickly jumped off the carriage and went to greet her.

Qin Shu asked curiously, "How did you know I was leaving the palace today?"

Mo Laowu laughed carelessly and said, "How would I know? I have been waiting in front of the palace gate every day these days. Isn't this just waiting for the young lady to leave the palace?"

Qin Shu's nose was sore. She took Mo Laowu's hand and got on the carriage. She asked, "How has everyone been these days?"

Mo Laowu turned the carriage around, still busy replying, "Everything is fine. Qingsang's injury has healed, and he insisted on coming to work. The shop is under the care of Li Langjiang and Xiaofu Lord, so it's no big deal."

Qingsang was seriously injured when he was attacked in Qishan. After Qin Shu and Fu Ying fell off a cliff and disappeared, Qingsang was sent back to Chunshan Manor by Zhu Zhi.

"The other day, the butler came to the capital, but he didn't wait for the young lady to come back. There were many things to do at home, so Zhu Zhi took people to send him back to Jinzhou."

"Also, in Jinzhou, Aunt Liu sent a letter saying that everything is fine at home. She asked about the family's money and the master's wife's affairs, and how to plan for this year."

As Qin Shu listened, she suddenly felt as if she had returned to a busy city from her secluded place in the mountains.

The trivial matters that I always seemed to be annoying and tedious have become so approachable.

In the past, she always felt that she was alone and had no ties wherever she went.

But now, listening to Mo Laowu chattering about things at home and in the store, Qin Shu felt warm in her heart.

These guards and servants who have followed her through thick and thin and through life and death are now her family.

When we returned to the backyard of Qin's shop, as soon as we entered the door, a large group of people rushed out.

Li Youlin, Xiao Cheng, Zhou Wan...

Even Ji Jue arrived.

Zhou Wan had her hair combed into a bun and was crying and laughing while hugging Qin Shu.

Qin Shu was so amused by her that she patted her on the back and said, "Okay, okay, Princess, shall we sit down and talk?"

After Zhou Wan let go of her hand, Qin Shu knelt slightly towards Xiao Cheng and said, "Mr. Xiao. I haven't congratulated you on your big wedding yet."

During the past six months, Xiao Cheng accomplished two great joys in his life: passing the martial arts examination and marrying Miss Chen.

Xiao Cheng raised his hand to scratch his hair, blushing and pulling Li Youlin over, "Brother Li is the champion of martial arts. Now the matchmakers who come to propose marriage to Brother Li are almost breaking the threshold of this courtyard."

Qin Shu also smiled and bowed to Li Youlin, "Congratulations, brother."

And there is Ji Jue.

As expected, he won the first place in the spring examination and was chosen by the emperor as the new top scholar in the palace examination.

He is now a compiler in the Hanlin Academy.

Ji Jue was chosen as a son-in-law by the new Grand Tutor, and the Emperor personally decreed the marriage, with the wedding date set for next year.

Zhou Wan married the son of Marquis Wuyang.

Just got married a few days ago.

Qin Shu sighed with emotion: She had only been away for a year, and the world had changed so much.

Everyone was having fun when they suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from outside the courtyard gate.

The sound of horse hooves stopped, and a tall figure wearing the uniform of a fourth-rank official hurriedly walked in.

As soon as Qin Shu turned around, she was embraced in a warm embrace.

Fu Yu lowered his head, kissed Qin Shu's hair, and murmured in a low voice: "Shu'er, you are finally back."
