Chapter 375: Lao Liu, am I some kind of monster?

The storybook that the palace maid was reading was a book that had just been circulating among the people. It was called "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me, Whose Family Has Fallen into Misfortune."

Some of the plot descriptions are really... too bold, explicit, ambiguous and charming.

The inexperienced girls blushed and their hearts beat faster after hearing this.

However, Qin Zhaoyue looked indifferent and was not moved at all.

Looking at the maids around her, she curled her lips.

Tsk tsk tsk, you're blushing already? This is just the beginning.

Compared to the upbringing I received in my previous life, this is simply bland and child's play.

At this moment, she felt nothing in her heart and even wanted to yawn.

It’s simple, I’m just knowledgeable and experienced.

The little palace maid who was reading suddenly stopped talking, and came forward with a red face, carefully showing the book to His Highness. This was the requirement she set.

This is a storybook with exquisitely crafted colored illustrations. Every time there is an illustration page, the reader must stop to appreciate it for His Highness.

Taoyao and Yingnuo couldn't help being curious. They wanted to see but were too embarrassed to look directly, so their eyes wandered.

He took a quick glance and the erotic scene still caught his eyes, his face turning red as if blood was about to drip out.

Too... too explicit!

Qin Zhaoyue stared at the delicately painted illustration and nodded calmly.

"The linework is okay, the coloring is passable, and the artistic conception is well rendered. Overall, it's just so-so."

This popular storytelling book seems to come from an unknown small workshop, but in fact the boss behind it is none other than the Sixth Princess Qin Zhaoyue.

Among the talents recruited from Tianxia Diyi Lou, there was a painter who was extremely good at painting erotic pictures.

The brushstrokes are delicate and full of charm, but exquisite painting skills alone without an engaging story are ultimately lacking in meaning.

After a lot of training and knowledge infusion from her, she finally produced the finished product.

The story is a bit old-fashioned, it's just a costume version of Cinderella meeting a domineering president.

But the painting skills are really good, expressing the vague and ambiguous artistic conception vividly and touchingly.

Don't underestimate this small storybook, as its content is unique and it is priced very high.

It is extremely popular among certain groups of people and makes a lot of money.

The key point is that unlike the previous emphasis on depicting female characters, Qin Zhaoyue's requirement is to combine yin and yang, and the prince's role in the illustration is not less at all.

Once the pattern is opened up, the audience will not be concentrated on a small group of people.

Also, because the painting style is unique and extremely difficult to imitate, there is no need to worry about it being easily copied.

After appreciating the illustrations, the little palace maid took back the storybook, suppressed her shyness, and continued reading in a trembling voice.

Just as Qin Zhaoyue was about to fall asleep due to the chanting sound, a familiar cold female voice came directly into her ears:

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is living a truly comfortable and carefree life these days."

"Huh?" Qin Zhaoyue suddenly shuddered, all sleepiness gone, and his eyes lit up instantly.

She was very familiar with this voice. It was Yinzhe who had disappeared for many days without any news.

"Stop for a moment and leave." She waved her hand immediately.

"yes."

The palace maids, especially the young maid, were as if they had been pardoned. After bowing, they almost ran away.

Too... too embarrassing, um...

When there was no one around, the shadow beside the corridor pillar twisted slightly, and Yinzhe's figure quietly emerged.

Qin Zhaoyue sat up straight impatiently and asked in a low voice:

"How's it going? After so many days of squatting, did you catch any big fish?"

Yinzhe looked at her eager and excited look, and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

According to the Sixth Prince's lazy habit of never being busy if she can be idle, shouldn't she be avoiding such tedious political affairs as much as possible at this moment?

Otherwise, how could it be that during such an important event as the women's provincial examination, he made almost no contribution except for the empty title of collaborator and just stood by and watched the entire process?

Yinzhe naturally couldn't understand it.

In Qin Zhaoyue's opinion, this was a serious job, and she had her smart and capable third and fourth sisters watching over her, so all the procedures and regulations had precedents to follow.

Especially the third sister, who conducted the preliminary examination flawlessly and received high praise from the people, with almost no noise.

Even if she tried to intervene, at most she could only add icing on the cake and offer some insignificant suggestions.

It's really meaningless and can't bring any substantial credit.

But secretly tracking down the aristocratic families who intended to sabotage the imperial examinations was completely different.

It was Qin Zhaoyue who single-handedly took the lead in taking down Chengyuan, which led to a series of clues and opportunities that followed.

If they could really follow the clues and wipe out the intelligence network that the aristocratic family had run in Fengjing for many years, and even catch the "head" hidden in the deepest part...

This achievement is not comparable to icing on the cake.

This was equivalent to clearing the biggest obstacle for the smooth implementation of the women's imperial examination, and its significance was far-reaching and its impact was significant...

Qin Zhaoyue secretly calculated that it should be worth a large amount of merit points, right?

The external situation is now turbulent and complicated. God knows what evil those opponents hiding in the dark are planning and how much strength they have hidden.

It would be more reassuring if you could improve your strength as quickly as possible and reach the Divine Martial Realm sooner.

That's why Qin Zhaoyue disdained the open provincial examination and was so interested in the shortcut of arresting people in secret.

Yinzhe suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart and spoke slowly:

"The layout is almost complete, and the enemy's hidden stronghold has been exposed.

Now we just have to wait for the provincial examination results to be announced. We'll see if we can use that chaotic energy to draw out more shadows hiding in the darkness and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Qin Zhaoyue heard this and immediately a brilliant smile appeared on her face, her voice so sweet it could be dripping with honey:

"Oh my, Master Yinzhe is truly a master of foresight.

He is able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away, and he is a master of military strategy.

With you taking action, those villains will have nowhere to hide and will be easily captured.

If this mission is successful, Lord Yinzhe will take the primary credit."

The series of flattery not only did not benefit Yinzhe at all, but instead made her hair stand on end and her alertness skyrocketed!

When will I hear such high praise from this person?

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. There must be a trick. I'm afraid they have dug a trap for her to fall into.

Yinzhe immediately took a half step back, his expression solemn, his tone filled with extreme caution:

"Sixth Prince, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

Qin Zhaoyue tilted her head, blinking her big, clear eyes, with the word "pure" written all over her face:

"Why do you say that, Lord Yinzhe? I speak from the bottom of my heart.

You are so capable, yet you don't allow people to praise you? What's the logic behind this?"

Yinzhe's heart was filled with alarm and he dared not delay any longer.

"I remember that I have urgent business to attend to immediately. I will take my leave."

Before he finished speaking, the figure faded quickly like smoke until it disappeared.

Qin Zhaoyue:?

With a big question mark on his head, he stared blankly in the direction where Yinzhe disappeared.

What happened?

I was just giving her a few sincere compliments, but why did you act like I was such a monster? Are you kidding me?
