Zhao Jun thought with evil amusement in his heart.

He couldn't help but smile as he stared at Liu Ji.

"Hey young lady, although I, Liu Ji, am good-looking, you don't have to keep staring at me. Are you attracted to me?"

"Although you are very good-looking, I am not a casual person."

Liu Ji put his upper lip on his lower lip and uttered nonsense.

The moment Xiao He opened his mouth, he realized that he was going to cause trouble, and quickly covered his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense, but he was still a few steps too slow.

He had already spoken a few words rapidly.

Zhao Jun's forehead twitched a few times.

I didn’t expect that the real Liu Bang had this kind of personality.

If Xiao He hadn't been by his side, he would have died a hundred times already.

"I'm truly sorry, sir, for my brother's outrageous remarks."

Xiao He still covered Liu Ji's mouth and glared at him to tell him to stop talking.

"It's okay. I can see that your brother's brain is not very good."

She glanced at Liu Ji lightly and met his aggrieved eyes.

"Yes, yes, you saw that too."

Xiao He nodded without denying what Zhao Jun said.

Liu Ji felt very aggrieved, but Xiao He had just secretly pinched his arm so hard that he lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.

"Since you two just wandered in by mistake and didn't cause any damage, I won't make a fuss about it."

Zhao Jun smiled. She had a very good impression of Xiao He and even wanted to make friends with him.

"Judging from your accents, you two aren't locals, are you visiting Xianyang?"

She inquired secretly.

"Well, we're both from Chu. I heard that the paper that's all the rage these days is printed in Xianyang, so I wanted to come and take a look."

"Only when I arrived did I realize how amazing it was. Xianyang's prosperity was beyond my imagination, so I stayed here the whole time and didn't leave."

Xiao He smiled. Although his words were meant as a compliment, they were indeed his true feelings.

He had clearly been to Xianyang a year ago, but Xianyang had changed so much in the past year.

He was also attracted by the papermaking craftsmanship and low prices here.

"Oh, I see."

Zhao Jun nodded silently.

"Since you no longer blame me, we'll leave first."

Xiao He didn't want to talk anymore, especially since there was a time bomb next to him.

"Okay, go ahead."

Xiao He pulled the dejected Liu Ji away quickly.

Zhao Jun stared at the two people's receding backs and was stunned for a long time.

"Sir, why are you paying so much attention to them? Could it be that you really have a crush on him?"

Meng Yi, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke and continued.

"But you're not interested in Liu Ji, are you? Are you interested in Xiao He?"

Zhao Jun turned his head silently and stared at him with a fierce look.

"I'm sorry, I was just joking."

Meng Yi immediately apologized with a smile.

He is really going too far, daring to make such a joke.

Besides, not to mention others, there is a king above.

"I have to be attracted to others, I can't just admire them."

Zhao Jun glared at him and spoke slowly.

"Of course you can, but you can tell whether Xin appreciates it or not just by looking at it."

Meng Yi was puzzled.

"What do you know?"

Zhao Jun glared at him again.

"I don't understand, but I do have a question for you. You're old enough now, have you ever thought about getting married?"

Meng Yi knew she was not angry, so he asked tentatively as if jokingly.

"No, I don't have to get married. I haven't even built the empire yet, so how can I have the energy to get married?"

Zhao Jun rolled his eyes.

"Really? What about after the construction is completed? Your Majesty, please consider it."

Zhao Jun glared at him fiercely, his eyes darkening.

"Meng Yi, don't make jokes or say anything careless. Do you want to go back now?"

"Besides, I don't consider anyone else."

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at him and started talking about business with Wang Ni.

Meng Yi pursed his lips and touched his nose.

Now I'm really angry.

"Wang Ni, I heard Qi Min wanted to talk to me about something a few days ago. How is my situation since I haven't been in the fish pond for a few months?"

Wang Ni took her inside, talking as they walked.

"Everything is going well in the fish pond now, but there is one thing I need your decision on."

She took Zhao Jun inside and soon saw Qi Min standing by the fish pond.

As soon as Qi Min saw Zhao Jun from a distance, he immediately came forward to greet him.

"My lord, you are finally back."

Qi Min seemed very excited.

I haven't seen him for a few months. He has become a lot darker and thinner, and he looks like he's been working quite hard.

"You've worked hard. I just came over to check, and the fish are doing well."

Qi Min was still very shy and smiled awkwardly, then he became excited again for some unknown reason.

"Sir, you've returned just in time. There's something we don't know what to do right now. Please come this way."

Qi Min led her to one of the fish ponds.

"Look, sir, the fish in this pond were relatively large fish, and they have grown into something edible."

Zhao Jun took a look at the fish pond and found that the fish in it were much bigger than he had seen before.

It’s ready to eat, she is very happy.

"Really, that's great. With how many fish have already grown, it's estimated when the others will be."

Zhao Jun had forgotten some of it, but he only remembered that the small fish fry grew relatively slowly.

"Only about 30% of these fish grow into large ones. The majority of them are small fry and may have to wait until around September to be harvested."
