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

Scholars are not stupid, but how could Qi Yue, who has never experienced the world, be a match for Shen Huli? After being fooled by him, although Qi Yue still couldn't completely put her mind at ease, she had to follow him into the palace.

However, on the way to the palace, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel uneasy: "I heard that Her Majesty is very fierce..."

"Who told you that?"

Qi Yue hesitated for a moment: "It's said outside that Her Majesty is very majestic."

"Being majestic and being fierce are not the same thing." Shen Chongjin corrected her statement, "If the emperor has no majesty, how can he govern the country? How can he control all officials? How can he make his subjects respect him?"

Qi Yue was silent.

It seems to be right. The reason why she had the idea of ​​participating in the imperial examination was because Huang Xiqi had an unprecedented empress?

But even all the officials respect His Majesty, let alone a little woman like her.

Qi Yue looked at the long palace road. There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. They were all armored guards on duty. She looked at the few palace servants who led the way in front of them and walked silently. The palace was solemn and strict. It was obvious that the rules were strict.

Qi Yue didn't realize until then that Shen Chongjin, who had been disgusting her for the past few days, had become the only person she could rely on.

She walked for a while with bated breath and whispered: "Will His Majesty let someone beat me with a stick?"

Shen Chongjin laughed: "Why would he beat you with a stick?"

Qi Yue shook her head and didn't know.

She just asked casually. What if His Majesty ordered someone to beat her? I don't know if her body can bear it?

"Don't worry." Shen Chongjin comforted her, "Her Majesty is majestic, but she won't punish people indiscriminately. Even in the eyes of the current emperor, His Majesty is still a very gentle person."

Really?

Qi Yue was suspicious: "Is the emperor's husband also more dignified?"

When people with dignified status are together, they get used to each other's dignification and don't feel oppressed.

Just like a marriage between people of equal status, no one can suppress the other.

"The emperor's husband is dignified." Shen Zhongjin's expression was a little subtle, "but his dignification is different from that of Her Majesty the Queen."

Qi Yue said: "Why is it different?"

"Mr. Qi ignored me before, why is he willing to talk to me now?" Shen Zhongjin raised his eyebrows, "asking questions one after another."

Qi Yue looked at him expressionlessly, snorted coldly, turned her head away and stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, Shen Zhongjin felt that she was cute for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub her head, but now he was in the palace, with so many people watching him, he restrained himself.

Her Majesty is busy with government affairs every day. After ascending the throne, except for the period of confinement after childbirth, there is almost no free morning in the four seasons of the year. Even if she cultivates feelings with the emperor, she is mostly free in the evening.

In the past two years, she has trained and promoted many young and capable court officials, and will entrust them with important tasks at critical moments, but she will not let herself be lazy because of this. It is easy for people to go from being diligent to being lazy, but it is difficult to be diligent again after being lazy.

It was noon when Shen Zhongjin brought Qi Yue into the palace. Chu Qinghuang and Fu Cang had just finished lunch and took a short rest.

Hearing Shen Zhongjin's request for an audience, Chu Qinghuang said, "Just let Qi Yue come in alone."

Yuanbao went out to pass on the message, and Qi Yue was frightened and her legs were weak. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Zhongjin. Shen Zhongjin looked at her nose and heart, and said calmly, "His Majesty summoned you alone, so go quickly."

Qi Yue calmed down, looked down at her clothes, and looked at her hands hanging on both sides, quietly clenched them and released them.

However, she took a deep breath and followed the palace servants into the palace.

It was not quite what she had imagined.

She had thought that there would be many servants in the Queen's palace, and as soon as she entered, countless eyes would fall on her, which made her feel stressed and numb all over.

However, after entering, Qi Yue found that the Queen's palace was very quiet.

She followed Yuan Bao quietly, her eyes fixed on Yuan Bao's movements. When he stopped, she stopped too. When she saw the direction he was facing, she stood in that direction.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qi has arrived."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yue knelt down and performed a standard homage: "I, Qi Yue, pay my respects to Her Majesty, long live the Queen!"

"Kneel closer."

The woman's voice was very light, and she did not pretend to be majestic and cold, but Qi Yue still trembled at the heart, and he lowered his head and replied half a beat later: "...Yes."

As soon as the words fell, a layer of cold sweat had unconsciously appeared under her clothes on her back.

If she kneeled closer, His Majesty would find it easier to see that she was a girl, but she had no chance to resist at this moment.

If she knew how to fly, she could escape immediately if something went wrong.

Chu Qinghuang, who was sitting at the desk reading a book, slowly raised her eyes and looked at the obviously young "boy" in front of her. Her eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes.
