She was afraid that Jiang Shi had reached his rebellious teenage years, and if his personality changed and he became degenerate, she would feel very guilty.
So she decided that from today on, she would set an example and provide Jiang Shi with a good learning environment.
It was not until the next day that Jiang Shi discovered that his young fiancée had suddenly become particularly interested in his studies. Not only would she ask him what he had learned in the Imperial College during meals, but she would even ask him whether he had confidence in next year's provincial examination while taking a walk.
After returning to the study, she found a question book and asked him questions seriously, like a serious female teacher.
Looking at the girl's clear and bright eyes filled with himself, Jiang Shi curled his lips and cooperated like an obedient and serious student.
Gradually, he also began to talk to Yu Tanqi about some issues concerning government policies.
After all, the scientific examinations also test the views and suggestions of thousands of students on national affairs.
On the night before April, Jiang Shi returned and said to Yu Tanqi, "Three days from now, an envoy from the State of Qi will come to visit. Your Majesty will host a state banquet to honor him. All officials of the fourth rank and above, as well as their wives, must attend."
"The envoy from Tianqi Kingdom?" Yu Tanqi was stunned.
She was not unfamiliar with this country. In the original novel, this country was the mortal enemy of Wanjin State and also a good stepping stone for the male protagonist's growth.
But in the original novel, it seems that Zhongtian Qi State did not send envoys to visit Wanjin State so early?
Oops, the plot has changed again.
Sure enough, troubles will come soon after the comfortable and easy days.
Jiang Shi said in a gentle voice: "The envoys sent by Tianqi this time are headed by the eldest prince Yuwen Xian and the second prince Yuwen Xiao."
He paused, then whispered, "Wanjin and Tianqi have always been at odds. This time, Tianqi actually sent two princes to Wanjin. I guess they're trying to test their strength, and they're very likely targeting me."
"My father, Marquis Wu'an, once personally took the head of the then crown prince of Tianqi State. As a result, Tianqi State was severely weakened and hated my father deeply."
He had not mentioned the grudge between the Wu'an Marquisate and the Tianqi Kingdom to her before. It was not that he did not want to tell her, but he felt that he could not explain it clearly in a short time, and he was afraid that she would think too much and become frightened.
She originally chose to come to his side in order to protect herself.
If she knew that staying with him would bring more dangers, would she regret it?
Jiang Shi's hands were clenched into fists under his sleeves, and his long crow feathers hung down. In the twilight, his expression was actually a little broken and uneasy.
As time went by, more and more things happened, and he knew that he couldn't go on like this. Even if he couldn't tell her everything, he should tell her some things.
He was more afraid of her getting hurt than she was afraid of leaving him.
He couldn't bear to see her seriously injured in front of him again, especially because of him.
Jiang Shi bit the soft flesh on his lips, his dark eyes fixed on Yu Tanqi.
Yu Tanqi, however, showed no sign of panic. She snorted coldly and said, "Tianqi couldn't defeat us before, and they won't be able to defeat us now or in the future. Come on, we're not afraid of them. Zi'an, isn't that right?"
She looked straight at him with her eyes wide open, her eyes full of trust in him.
Jiang Shi was slightly startled, his heart touched, and he asked in a low voice: "Do you trust me so much?"
Yu Tanqi said without hesitation, "Of course. Your hard work and forbearance over the years are enough to make you a man no less capable than the Marquis of Wu'an back then. The Tianqi Kingdom sent envoys to test you instead of directly sending troops to start a war because they were wary of you."
