Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

Looking at the pile of memorials on the table, Gu Xici reviewed them calmly.

[Your Majesty, would you like some food?]

[Your Majesty, are you okay? ]

[Your Majesty, Qingming Festival is approaching, how is the Imperial Master?]

"..."

Gu Xici frowned, and all his questions began with some phrases like "Your Majesty, have you been eating well recently?" and "Your Majesty, have you been living well recently?"

However, this memorial reminded her that it was time for the annual sacrificial ceremony, and she, as the imperial teacher, was required to pray for blessings for the people of Xi State.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Xici finished reviewing the last memorial and looked at Lin Jinxi, who was clearly awake but pretending to be asleep on his lap.

"Your Majesty, I should go back now."

Gu Xici helped Lin Jinxi up. Lin Jinxi pretended to be just awake and asked with narrowed eyes: "Master, what time is it?"

"It's already west time."

Gu Xici did not expose Lin Jinxi. He stood up from their chairs and gently supported the shaky Lin Jinxi.

"I slept for half a day. Since it's so late, why don't you have dinner with me, Imperial Master?"

Lin Jinxi stuck to Gu Xici again. Fortunately, the weather was not hot, otherwise Gu Xici would let Lin Jinxi experience the feeling of drinking hot water in summer.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your titles."

"But now there's no one else, so I'm going to call myself that. Ah Ci, can you also call me Xi'er?"

Lin Jinxi hugged the national teacher's waist and said, "I won't let go unless you agree."

"You can do it in private, but if there are others..." Before Gu Xici finished speaking, Lin Jinxi hurriedly added, "Just like before, call yourself "I"."

"Ah."

Gu Xici pointed his finger at the word "uneasy breakup" on his waist, and Lin Jinxi smiled foolishly, indicating that he didn't understand what it meant.

Until Gu Xici clenched his hand into a fist, bent his middle finger and protruded it a little, and then controlled the strength and hit Lin Jinxi on the head.

Lin Jinxi screamed in pain and withdrew her hand to rub the place where she was hit by Gu Xici.

"Come here, pass the meal."

After Lin Jinxi finished speaking, she took the national teacher's hand and went to the dinner place. Unfortunately, Pianzi passed by and saw Lin Jinxi.

"Your Majesty, you look very well today."

Pianzi stepped forward and saluted Lin Jinxi. During the past few days in the Hanlin Academy, he had little chance to meet Lin Jinxi. Now that he finally ran into her, he hurried to greet her.

Lin Jinxi didn't dare to reply and hid behind Gu Xici with a guilty look on her face.

Why did Pianzi come to me at this time for no reason? I finally made peace with the Imperial Master, and I must not make him angry again.

Gu Xici noticed Lin Jinxi's little action, but didn't intend to speak. He still maintained that cold expression, which made Pianzi shiver.

Silence.

Neither Gu Xici nor Lin Jinxi responded to Pianzi's words, leaving Pianzi standing there awkwardly.

Pianzi was staring viciously at Gu Xici's back in a corner where no one could see him. It was this imperial master who ruined his good deeds.

With this imperial master around, His Majesty doesn't dare to pay attention to him now. Seeing His Majesty following Gu Xici respectfully, His Majesty must have to succumb to the imperial master's power.

He, Pianzi, is determined to rescue His Majesty from the clutches of the Imperial Master.

Afterwards, His Majesty will definitely be grateful to him, and then he will naturally become the emperor's husband.

"National Division?"

Lin Jinxi sat opposite Gu Xici, secretly observing the Imperial Master's expression, telling him not to be angry about Pianzi's matter.

She will return to the Imperial Study tomorrow, while Pianzi will work in the Hanlin Academy.

She would not have any contact with this inappropriateness.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. I have to go back to the Observatory after eating."

Gu Xici knew that Lin Jinxi had no feelings for Pianzi and did not intend to do anything to Pianzi. As long as Pianzi in this world did not hurt Lin Jinxi or get close to Lin Jinxi, she would not cause trouble for Pianzi.

"We've made up, so don't go back tonight. My bed is big enough!"

Lin Jinxi picked up a lot of Gu Xici's favorite dishes and put them into Gu Xici's bowl like a dog, revealing an innocent smile.

"..."

Gu Xici didn't pick up his chopsticks, but just sat there quietly waiting for Lin Jinxi to get ready to speak.

hiss!

Lin Jinxi looked at the cold atmosphere and laughed dryly: "I mean the bed in the room next to me is big enough!"

"The Imperial Master will stay next door to me tonight. I promise not to disturb him in the middle of the night."

After Lin Jinxi finished speaking, she couldn't help but start fantasizing, and from time to time she let out a terrifying laugh.

"I...refuse."

Gu Xici placed the bowl full of food in front of him in front of Lin Jinxi, picked up the bowl with only rice next to Lin Jinxi and started eating.

You're already having such wild thoughts before you even agree. If you agree, won't Lin Jinxi take advantage of you completely?

She refused the dish that Lin Jinxi picked for her. She would not sell herself out for delicious food.

"Ah Ci, Ah Ci, Ah Ci, Ci Ci Ci..."

Lin Jinxi spoke in a coquettish tone and refused to give up.

"Be good! Shut your mouth, or I don't know what will happen next!"

Gu Xici's tone was gentle, but full of danger. Lin Jinxi obediently closed her mouth and started eating normally.

The imperial teacher rejected her, and she was sad.

On the eve of the accident.

"Master, I can't bear to leave you."

Lin Jinxi looked at Gu Xici, who was wearing the imperial teacher's uniform, reluctantly.

"I need to pray for the country of Xi. I need to bathe and change clothes seven days in advance to show my sincerity and respect."

Gu Xici comforted Lin Jinxi, saying that they experienced this every year, why was she so clingy this year? It was just that they couldn't see each other for seven days, so what was there to be reluctant about?

"That's a full seven days." The wailing turned abrupt. "Can I come with you? I also need to shower and change clothes in advance."

"If Xiguo leaves Your Majesty for a day, who will handle those heavy matters? In order to have some free time, you have already stuffed a lot of things to other ministers. Do something serious, Lin Jinxi."

Gu Xici declined again, saying that it was only seven days of not seeing each other, not a life-and-death separation.

The carriage outside the hall had been waiting for a long time. Gu Xici lifted the door curtain and sat in the carriage.

"Set off."

The wheels of the carriage rumbled, and a group of people left the Star Pavilion and headed for the place of sacrifice.

Lin Jinxi watched the carriage go away and realized that she would have to live alone for the next seven days.

She could only wait until the day of sacrifice to meet the Imperial Master. After that, she would make up for those seven days.

During the seven days, Gu Xici bathed and burned incense every day, and ate light food without any meat or fish.

Fortunately, she has a coupon for the "Seeing Plums to Quench Thirst" product. When the world ends, she can go buy a hundred cups of milk tea and drink as much as she wants.

Xiao Zi was still playing the Seven Saints Summons, and Gu Xici was too lazy to call Xiao Zi back.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and many people hurried to hide from the rain, while women took their clothes back into the house. In a short while, thunder flashed everywhere, and the rumbling thunder mixed with the sound of wind and rain forced every household to close their doors and windows.

It was still daytime, but it was as dark as night, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

In the palace, Pianzi found Lin Jinxi in the imperial study. He had been trying to get close to Lin Jinxi during the days when the imperial teacher was away.
