Zhongjin had never felt so bad.

Of course, he never knew teasing someone could be so fun.

He clearly knew that the other party was uneasy at this time, but he wanted to whet her appetite, as if he couldn't show his depth and cunningness if he didn't do this.

Zhong Jinxiao looked at her repressed expression and said calmly: "Practice for favoritism cannot be realized by others' suspicion. Besides, there are so many students in the Imperial City, no one will notice you."

Qi Yue frowned. She wanted to know more about whether Zhong Jin knew the secret of being a daughter than others.

She had studied hard for several years, and the examination showed her true talents and knowledge, and she was beyond reproach. Even if someone doubted her, she had the confidence to prove her innocence, and she did not worry about anyone doubting her knowledge.

But if a woman disguises herself as a man to participate in the scientific examination, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. If he exposes it...

"Is there still a high hall in Mr. Qi's house?"

Qi Yue came back to her senses and braced herself to deal with it, "My parents are still alive, and I have an older brother."

"How is your relationship?"

"certainly."

Zhong Jin snorted and smiled deeply: "So, if Mr. Qi is lucky enough to win the exam, his parents and elder brother will probably be very happy."

Qiyue's expression paused slightly: "Of course I am happy."

"The ancients often said that when one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Zhong Jin said in a leisurely tone, "The opposite is also true. If one person causes trouble, the whole family will suffer."

Qi Yue's face changed suddenly, and she instantly heard the threatening meaning in his tone - whether Zhong Jin meant threatening or not, she did hear a hint of danger.

If she is found guilty of deceiving the emperor, what should her parents and brothers do?

"Master Shen, what do you mean by this?" she asked coldly, a bit stern and inwardly, "Mr. Shen, are you always so unpredictable in what you say?"

Zhong Jin smiled apologetically and said calmly and elegantly: "I have no other intention. I just want to remind Mr. Qi that under the emperor's feet in the imperial capital, there are dignitaries everywhere. You must be careful in your actions and words, and you must not fall into anyone's fault, otherwise there will be great dangers. Might get into trouble."

It was okay if he didn't explain, but Qiyue felt even worse when he did.

She even regretted it.

Why did she provoke such a... such a...

Looking up at him, Qi Yue still didn't know how to define Zhong Jin. If he wanted to use this secret to threaten himself, then he would be a treacherous villain.

But this person was not someone he wanted to mess with. There were so many people in the examination room, why did he focus on him?

What bad luck.

However, she also understands that people have to bow their heads under the roof. No matter what secrets Zhong Jin has mastered about her, Qi Yue feels that within her own ability, there should be no harm in showing her kindness to him.

It's better to be on good terms with him than to be on bad terms with him.

"Master Shen is a good person." Qi Yue raised a kind smile at the corner of her mouth, "It is a student's honor to know Master Shen. The students are treating you today. If Master Shen wants to eat anything else, just order it."

Zhong Zhongjin raised his eyebrows. He really wanted to praise her and say that he who knows the current affairs is a hero. Was it in vain that he had been acting for so long and she finally realized that someone was under the roof?

"There's no need to order more food, it's enough to eat. How about we order a jar of wine to celebrate?"

Of course Qiyue didn't want to drink with him.

What if he does something to himself that he shouldn't do when he's drunk?

What if she exposes herself?

Drunk and in trouble.

Qi Yue deeply understood this truth, but couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, "The student's health is not good. Before coming to the imperial capital, my brother repeatedly told me not to drink alcohol. Let's do this. The student will order a jar of wine for Master Shen, and the student himself will How about a cup of tea instead of wine? "

Zhong Jin nodded, "Of course."

Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called the restaurant waiter to bring him a jar of wine and a pot of tea.

He was stuck in a tangle before, thinking something was wrong, but now he has come to his senses and naturally knows how to get along with this Master Shen.

Anyway, just keep following him within the bottom line.

Say a few nice words without losing a piece of meat.

As long as the other person doesn't be rude to him.

If Zhong Jin really dared to do anything wrong, she would fight tooth and nail to complain, and while the students were all in the imperial city, she would use the words of a scholar to impeach him. When the situation gets serious, Her Majesty the Queen will be alarmed. .

Let's see how long he can stay as an official.

Thinking of this, Qi Yue suddenly felt at ease. People are like this. Once they are afraid of wolves and tigers, they will easily shrink back and stick to a risk-taking attitude. Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The restaurant waiter quickly brought a jar of wine, a pot of tea, and a cup for each of the two people.

"Sir, please use it slowly."

The waiter turned around and left. Qiyue poured a glass of wine for Zhongjin and poured herself a cup of tea. She then raised the glass and signaled: "Student, here's a toast to you. I hope you have a prosperous official career and a bright future."

Zhong Jin thought about the hidden meaning in her blessing, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Thank you very much. I also wish you to be named on the gold list, and to have a wedding as soon as possible."

"Cough cough cough..." Qi Yue suddenly choked on her saliva and her face turned red. "The adults are joking. The students are still young and there is no rush to get married."

The heavy brocade eyes were slightly dark, watching the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes. Her extremely beautiful face was filled with beauty at this moment, which made people's hearts feel warm.

At this moment, Zhong Jin suddenly had the urge to get married.

That's her.

This sentence flashed through his mind, and Shen Zhongjin sighed silently. Okay, since he wants to settle her down, he naturally has to protect her well and can't tease her all the time and make her nervous.

"In fact, Her Majesty the Queen had the idea of ​​allowing women to participate in the imperial examination before."

Qi Yue's heart sank: "What does Lord Shen mean by saying this suddenly?"

"The current Queen is a woman herself, so she naturally wants to improve the status of women as much as possible. However, many things require an opportunity and a gradual process. Don't be too anxious." Shen Zhongjin said, "Before I met Mr. Qi last time, I went to the palace to see Her Majesty the Queen."

Qi Yue held the teacup and remained silent.

"I said, if someone is found to be a woman dressed as a man to take the exam this time, will Her Majesty punish her for deceiving the emperor?"

Qi Yue was a little nervous: "What does Her Majesty say?"

"It depends on the situation." Shen Chongjin said calmly, "In addition to knowledge, His Majesty has always valued character and courage in hiring people. It is not enough to have knowledge alone without other aspects."

Qi Yue nodded silently.

"Your Majesty actually hopes that a woman can take a little risk to enter the court as an official." Shen Chongjin said, sighing faintly, "It's a pity that there are too few such people."

Qi Yue looked at him with complicated eyes, and hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Yue shook her head, "Nothing."

She suspected that he was trying to trick her and deliberately wanted her to take the initiative to expose her female body?

Qi Yue sneered. Even if Her Majesty really had such an idea, it was after she passed the imperial examination. If she told the truth now, it would only give people a handle.

She was not so stupid that she would be fooled by a few words and confessed everything?
