"I know myself well; the Duke of Zheng wouldn't do something so foolish in his own residence."
Miss Zheng is intelligent, kind-hearted, and exceptionally talented; I don't see the need to embellish her further.
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for a response.
Watching the departing figure, Duke Zheng shook his head and sighed, his expression full of resentment.
He didn't care about any policy discussions; he just needed to test Pei Xuanyun's attitude.
If someone readily agrees or shows any positive attitude, it means they are bound to take action.
Scholars' methods are hard to guard against. If that's the case, even the Duke of Zheng was willing to prevent Huiyin from entering the examination hall.
On the contrary, this attitude now makes him feel more at ease, though only slightly.
The old fox has been in charge of Fengge Terrace for over ten years; he can't be seen through in just a few words.

"Looking for Sixth Sister" is a blatant way of telling her that she just wants to leave the palace to play.
"Go."
Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up instantly.
Actually, she didn't have high hopes; she just gave it a try because the morning court session went smoothly.
To my surprise, they didn't even question me and just agreed right away?
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise and mighty!"
Qin Minghuang's lips curled into a smile as she gently stroked her little head.
"Your wise and mighty mother queen tells you that you don't need to pay your sixth sister to play with you."
Xiao Jiu: ……
