Got caught.
Jiang Qingyao suppressed her guilty conscience and smiled faintly, "Seeing how focused the Marquis is, I want to encourage myself and learn from him."
She would never say that she was mesmerized by his hands.
He Zheng put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and walked towards her step by step.
Today he was wearing a purple robe, with a black jade hanging around his waist and long boots with gold thread, which made him look even more handsome and majestic.
Jiang Qingyao paused, then suddenly asked, "Why are you here?"
He Zheng said calmly, "Come closer so Yaoyao can see more clearly."
“…”
She couldn't help but grab He Zheng's sleeve and whispered, "How can I read properly when you're like this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Zheng sat down next to her, the black jade on his waist swaying gently, and he reached out and took the scroll from her hand.
The deep voice continued, "Rest for a while."
"Okay, I'm a little tired."
Jiang Qingyao leaned over and rested her head on He Zheng's shoulder.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside.
Someone is coming.
Jiang Qingyao straightened her body again. Xifeng knocked on the door and came into the study.
Xi Feng was stunned for a moment, wondering why the adult's face looked a little cold.
Xi Feng was about to report something to He Zheng, and Jiang Qingyao was about to stand up with her hands on the armrest. At this time, it was better to step aside to avoid hearing something she shouldn't hear.
As soon as she stood up, He Zheng pushed her back into the chair.
He Zheng said calmly, "Yaoyao is right here, no need to avoid her."
"..." Jiang Qingyao was stunned and hesitated, "It would be bad if I heard the Marquis's secrets."
He Zheng looked at her deeply and said only two words, "It's okay."
Jiang Qingyao thought that she would just listen and focus on the affairs of the court so as to avoid being blocked from the outside world.
Xi Feng, who was standing by, was already used to it and was not surprised.
I just said in my heart - so sweet!
Inside the house, Xi Feng's voice was heard, until he talked about Emperor Jinde rewarding beauties to the princes.
Xi Feng's expression was a little subtle. He suspected that His Majesty had also thought about giving those beauties to you, Lord.
After saying this, he withdrew.
The door closed again.
He Zheng wrapped his slender and powerful arms around Jiang Qingyao, lowered his head to look at her face, and slowly uttered, "Your Majesty wants to send the twelve beauties to the palace."
Um?
Jiang Qingyao was stunned for a moment. His Majesty wanted to send people to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.
"The Marquis refused?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Qingyao realized that he must have refused, otherwise those beauties should not be in the princes' houses now, but in front of her.
He Zheng: “…”
"Um."
He Zheng's hand on her shoulder slid down and tightly wrapped around her waist, holding her tighter.
"Yaoyao isn't jealous?"
The look in his eyes suddenly changed, becoming extremely dark.
Jiang Qingyao's breath was choked. She felt that if she didn't give a good answer, she would be punished. Marquis Anguo would not punish her, but he would probably "reward" her.
She lazily leaned in He Zheng's arms and responded, "I am a little jealous."
Just some...
He Zheng's eyes darkened slightly.
Jiang Qingyao suddenly raised her hands to hold his face and said frankly, "Twelve beauties, I don't even know what they look like or what their names are, I can't even handle the jealousy."
"Do I have to complain to His Majesty and ask him to stop giving Marquis Anguo's mansion beauties?"
What kind of jealousy is this?
She kissed He Zheng's chin and coaxed him softly, "I know what the Marquis feels."
However, before He Zheng could respond, Jiang Qingyao poked his shoulder again and asked fiercely, "Have you seen all the twelve beauties, Lord Marquis? Are they pretty?"
He Zheng: “…”
She was slow to get jealous.
How cute.
He Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've never seen her before. Even if I had, she wouldn't be as pretty as Yaoyao."
You haven't even met her, but you say she's prettier than others?
So is she the most beautiful in his eyes?
Ah, why is Marquis Anguo so good at speaking sweet words now?
It makes people feel itchy.
Jiang Qingyao's face was a little hot, "Did you eat honey today?"
He Zheng held her little hand and kissed her knuckles affectionately, "Yaoyao is honey."
Jiang Qingyao's heart skipped a beat.
How did he manage to say this calmly and seriously?
He Zheng looked into her eyes and said, "Besides Yaoyao, there will be no other woman in the Anguo Marquis Mansion."
Jiang Qingyao was immediately deeply moved?
No, she snorted softly: "I won't know whether it's true until I become an old woman."
He Zheng: “…”
You are infuriating.
…
Jiang Qingyao asked Ma Liu to deliver a message to her father, saying that she had discussed it with the Marquis and that marrying into the Xie family was feasible.
Xie Linqian was naturally happy, but he also felt a little worried.
Will this really not arouse His Majesty's suspicion?
Or perhaps the Marquis of Anguo has some extraordinary means to make Your Majesty let down your guard and trust him.
There is no problem with the Anguo Marquis Mansion, so the only thing left to discuss is the Xie family.
Xie Linqian pushed things forward in an orderly manner.
It is said that Xiao Wuhuo accepted Jiang Qingyao as his last disciple, so he naturally stayed in Shangjing City.
He Zheng arranged for him to be the palace physician and placed him in the courtyard of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion specially used to entertain guests.
Another room was set aside to be used as a pharmacy and teaching space.
In this way, Jiang Qingyao can stay in the mansion and study medicine with Xiao Wuhuo, which is much more convenient.
Xiao Wuhuo sighed, Marquis Anguo was truly favored.
Jiang Qingyao is so beautiful that any powerful person in the capital who marries her will pamper her, but she will probably become a canary trapped in a cage.
