Yun Zhou took Su Qingluo to watch a play at the largest opera troupe in Yunjing City.

Wen Zhimiao borrowed a book from the library and rushed to the teacher's residence.

When she ran to the gate of the master's mansion, she happened to see Shi Guanchao and Qi Guyu coming out. The two walked side by side, both wearing official robes.

They all look like they are going to work.

"Your Highness." The two were no longer surprised to see Wen Zhimiao.

Wen Zhimiao smiled brightly at the two of them.

Her smile always makes people feel very harmless, and her beautiful eyes are always so clear.

People who are not familiar with her will only think she is innocent and cute.

But Shi Guanchao and Qi Guyu had both experienced this man's methods.

"Prime Minister, Qi is the head of the Supervisory Council." When Qi Taihong retired a few years ago, Shi Guanchao naturally became the prime minister, and Qi Guyu also became the head of the Supervisory Council with his own abilities.

"Wanyue has gone to the study. Your Highness can go there to look for her." Shi Guanchao smiled at her.

Wen Zhimiao chuckled and said, "Thank you, my sister asked me to help her borrow a book."

She showed the book in her arms.

Shi Guanchao just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

When Wen Zhimiao ran into the master's residence, Qi Guyu looked at Shi Guanchao teasingly: "Master, aren't you afraid that the young prince has fallen in love with your Wanyue? He has been attached to her since childhood."

Shi Guanchao smiled and shook his head: "I can't control so many of my daughter's affairs. Can your father control you?"

Qi Guyu looked at his master's gaze and was silent for a moment, then looked away: "Father is old."

"Compared to them, I am old too." Shi Guanchao admitted that he was indeed not young anymore.

A prime minister in his thirties is not considered old at all.

Qi Guyu looked at Shi Guanchao, who still looked as elegant as ever, and followed her pace again.

"You must be careful when investigating this canal corruption case. If it is really as you said, involving officials from the entire Chenzhou Prefecture, it is no small matter. I can allow you to act specially, but if you alert the enemy, they may bite back at your Supervisory Office first, and His Majesty will investigate it. I will not hide it for you." Shi Guanchao said to Qi Guyu again in a serious manner.

Qi Guyu bowed slightly to her and said, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

Shi Guanchao looked at the woman in front of him. Even her official robe could not conceal her scholarly air. She didn't even know any martial arts, but in the past ten years in the Supervisory Council, she had assisted the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate in solving many cases.

Even now, the Supervisory Commission has more spies in other countries than when he was the head of the commission.

Qi Guyu saw Master Guanchao looking at him and became a little nervous for no reason: "Do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Nothing." Shi Guanchao shook his head.

"Go ahead. We cannot be careless about this matter." The two men's offices were not in the same place. Today, Qi Guyu came to see Shi Guanchao because of a case on hand.

Qi Guyu bowed again.

When Wen Zhimiao ran into the master's house, he suddenly saw a somewhat unfamiliar woman.

The woman was wearing a blue dress and was looking around under the guidance of her maid.

He doesn't look like a new steward nor like a guest. After all, it is impossible for the host to go out while the guest is still at home.

Wen Zhimiao realized belatedly that this should be Shi Wanyue's grandmother, and she became embarrassed in an instant.

Jiang Yiyu also looked at Wen Zhimiao. The girl was standing under the corridor, wearing a flamboyant red dress, with gorgeous jewelry on her body and exquisite hair accessories on her head. From a distance, she looked noble, but her delicate nature could not be concealed.

"What is this?" Jiang Yiyu asked the maid beside her.

"Madam, this is His Highness Yuan Zhao." The maid reminded.

Jiang Yiyu hurried over to pay his respects, while Wen Zhimiao was still hesitating whether to go over to say hello or take a detour and leave.

As a result, Jiang Yiyu walked towards her.

"I, Jiang, pay my respects to Your Highness." She said this and was about to kneel.

Wen Zhimiao quickly supported her: "Old Madam, there is no need to be polite. No need to kneel, no need to kneel."

She held the book in one hand and supported Jiang Yiyu with the other.

Wen Zhimiao winked frantically at the maid next to her.

The maid quickly helped Jiang Yiyu up.

"I'm here to see Sister Wanyue. Madam, you don't have to be so reserved or entertain me. I'm familiar with the place." Wen Zhimiao smiled awkwardly.

Then he nodded slightly to Jiang Yiyu and continued to go to Shi Wanyue's study, but his speed was obviously much faster.

Jiang Yiyun watched Wen Zhimiao leave, and looked at the maid beside him with some curiosity and confusion: "This... Your Highness really doesn't need to greet you when you come in person?"

The maid smiled and said, "Your Highness grew up with Shao Ji and likes to play with Shao Ji on weekdays."

"Don't worry, old lady. His Highness is not arrogant." The maid didn't say that not only is he not arrogant, but he will even be under the supervision of Shi Wanyue.

Wen Zhimiao walked all the way to the courtyard where Shi Wanyue was.

After entering the courtyard and passing through a small and quiet bamboo forest, I saw the study hidden in the bamboo forest.

A woman in a light green dress was sitting by the window, writing at her desk.

The girl had gentle features and upon closer inspection, she looked somewhat similar to Shi Guanchao. However, Shi Guanchao had a sense of distance and majesty, but this girl was not like that.

Her features are more childish than Shi Guanchao's, and her eyes are clearer. Unlike Wen Zhimiao's innocence and cuteness, the girl gives people the feeling of a clear spring in the mountains.

In order to facilitate reading, the hair is combed very neatly and the cuffs are narrow sleeves specially modified for readers.

Wen Zhimiao walked lightly without disturbing Shi Wanyue, and quietly entered the study. He walked behind Shi Wanyue and glanced at her, only to see that she was writing an article again.

Wen Zhimiao put the book aside and said with some distress: "Sister, you don't have to work so hard, you will definitely pass it."

She sat down beside her without any hesitation and helped her grind the ink.

When Shi Wanyue heard her words, she raised her eyes and looked at Wen Zhimiao.

He put down the pen in his hand, took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the sweat off her face.

"Did you come here on horseback by yourself?" Shi Wanyue asked softly.

Wen Zhimiao's eyes curved slightly: "Well, there was an early court today. I sued that bastard from the Su family at the early court, and I had dinner with mother and Zhou Zhou, so I was delayed for some time."

"Don't be so anxious." Shi Wanyue reached out and pinched her cheek.

Wen Zhimiao chuckled and said, "If I don't come, I'm afraid my sister won't get a rest for the whole morning. That would be so tiring."

"Sister has already passed the Tongshi exam in her early years, so why bother to take the imperial examination again?" Wen Zhimiao didn't understand.

"It's different. I also want to know how my level compares to the scholars all over the world." Shi Wanyue said with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao shrugged: "Okay."

"How about I accompany you to read for another hour, and you can watch my Cuju game for the rest of the time?"

Before Shi Wanyue could say anything, Wen Zhimiao was afraid that she would refuse, so he pulled her hand and said coquettishly, "Okay~"

"Today is the final we agreed to have with those stinky men. I will definitely make them bark like a dog as agreed."

"I didn't say I wouldn't go..."

"I'm going to go even if you don't come."

How could Shi Wanyue not go to Wen Zhimiao's competition?
