After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Zhimiao looked at the newly crowned top scholar kneeling in front of him and hurried over to help her up.

"Get up. I'm just curious about what the top scholar looks like. There's no need to be so scared." Shi Quan was helped up by her and met her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

When Wen Zhimiao intentionally expressed his kindness, his eyes were always particularly eye-catching.

Shiquan took a step back unconsciously: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Wen Zhimiao looked at her like that, thought for a moment and said to the maid Xiangnan beside her: "Take the top scholar to wash and change clothes."

Wen Zhimiao understood that no one wanted to face the superior in such an embarrassing way.

When Shi Quan heard Wen Zhimiao's words, he felt a little more grateful.

"Thank you, Your Highness." She kowtowed again. Wen Zhimiao did not help her up again, but just asked her to get up in a gentle voice.

After everyone followed him south, Wen Zhimiao sat down again.

"It's a good thing I brought her here. Otherwise, if other people showed some kindness to such a person out of hypocrisy, she might believe it." After seeing Shi Quan, Wen Zhimiao felt more and more that it was right for him to bring her here.

"Miaomiao wants to keep her in the East Palace?" Shi Wanyue poured her a cup of tea and asked slowly.

"She has just entered the officialdom and has no background. If she hadn't come to the East Palace, it would have been difficult for her to be promoted in the future. People who come up from the bottom have a sense of nobility and responsibility that others don't have. I don't want her to be defeated. I want more ordinary people to see some hope in the imperial examination."

Shi Wanyue thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Miao Miao is very thoughtful." Shi Wanyue looked at her and said.

Wen Zhimiao smiled and shook his head: "She is quite special, so I think it's better to take care of her."

"Besides, it's because she really has real talent and knowledge. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't care." Wen Zhimiao never thought that he could help everyone.

Shi Wanyue looked at her and suddenly raised the corner of her mouth: "Miaomiao is different now."

"Ok?"

"It's okay." Shi Wanyue stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of her nose: "It's the powerful Crown Prince."

Wen Zhimiao's cheeks turned slightly red, and she probably understood what Shi Wanyue meant.

Many times Wen Zhimiao also felt that she was different from before, and this change seemed to have occurred during the days when she returned to Yunjing.

She gradually began to consider more interests and became more skilled in how to put pressure on those officials.

She no longer considered herself an ordinary person, and she became more and more aware of her identity as the crown prince of Tianqi.

It’s because I’m involved in more things and also because I’m gaining more and more power.

She increasingly realized that if she wanted to act according to her wishes, she had to be cold and ruthless enough.

A king and his subjects can talk about affection, but affection cannot be the only thing.

A ruler needs to be tolerant, but also appropriately ruthless, otherwise some people will take advantage of him.

"Sister." Wen Zhimiao looked at Shi Wanyue.

Shi Wanyue was peeling an orange: "What's wrong?"

"Which one do you like better, sister?" Wen Zhimiao supported his chin and looked at Shi Wanyue.

Shi Wanyue fed her an orange and said, "Either is fine."

"Really?" Wen Zhimiao looked at her eagerly.

Shi Wanyue leaned over and kissed her: "Really? After all..."

She looked at Wen Zhimiao with a smile: "After all, they are all the same in front of me."

Wen Zhimiao's cheeks turned slightly red. Although it was the truth, she still felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Sister can't accompany me tomorrow." Wen Zhimiao said softly.

Shi Wanyue stretched out her hand and scratched her chin: "Be good, I do have something to do tomorrow, and aren't you busy too?"

"The war in Donglan is not over yet, and you have a lot of things to do. I can't always disturb you. You dawdle when I come, and then you have to deal with government affairs all night long. I will blame myself if you are exhausted by then." Shi Wanyue said to her softly.

"Okay." Wen Zhimiao pouted.

"Aren't you going to hold a Qushui Liushang Banquet the day after tomorrow?" Shi Wanyue said softly.

"Yes, sister, are you going?" Wen Zhimiao looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"Go, if you go I will go too, so I have to prepare everything for the next two days in advance before I can go." Shi Wanyue lifted her chin, smiled and kissed her on the lips.

"Okay." Wen Zhimiao became happy again.

He was so happy that he couldn't help but hold Shi Wanyue's head and kiss her.

Shiquan had originally come back with Xiangnan to meet the prince, but as soon as he entered the garden, he saw two people kissing from afar.

Xiangnan also saw it, but she was used to it, so she just whispered to Shiquan: "Lower your head."

Shi Quan naturally lowered his head obediently.

Wen Zhimiao had kissed enough, and Shi Wanyue reached out and pinched the tip of her nose: "Are you so bold now?"

Wen Zhimiao blushed slightly when she heard what Shi Wanyue said. Shi Wanyue pointed at Xiangnan and Shiquan at the gate and said, "Okay, stop making trouble."

Wen Zhimiao immediately became obedient, yet still a little embarrassed.

"Come in." The embarrassed Crown Prince took a sip of tea awkwardly and adjusted himself while drinking tea.

Although he was still smiling when he looked at Shi Quan again, his temperament was completely different. Beneath the friendly appearance was an inviolable majesty.

"No need to be so polite, sit down." Wen Zhimiao pushed some cakes in front of her: "Just feel free to do as you please."

Although she said it was okay to be casual, Shi Quan was thinking who could be truly casual in front of her?

"I read your article and it's pretty good. The Queen Mother also said it's good."

Seeing that she was reserved and didn't dare to touch anything except tea, Wen Zhimiao started talking to her about business.

Shiquan was a little less reserved when discussing the article.

With the cooperation of Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue, Shi Quan gradually fell into their rhythm.

By the time we had finished chatting, it was already time for lunch.

Wen Zhimiao asked her to dine with him. Considering that she might not be used to the rules and special ingredients in the palace, Wen Zhimiao asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some common dishes.

Shiquan didn’t eat much in the morning, so when he saw the table full of dishes, he couldn’t help feeling a little hungry.

Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue sat together, and Shi Quan dared not move until they started eating.

Her appetite was about the same as Wen Zhimiao's, but Shi Wanyue finished eating first.

At the dinner table, Wen Zhimiao did not ask too many questions related to officialdom. Instead, he chatted with her and asked about some things about her hometown.

When talking about his hometown, Shiquan talked a lot.

Wen Zhimiao had something else to do in the afternoon, so after Shiquan finished eating, Wen Zhimiao asked her directly: "Are you willing to stay in the East Palace and work in the East Palace?"

"If you are willing, I will have someone prepare a place for you to live today. If you are not willing, it is fine. But I am afraid you will never be able to stay in Yunjing City again in the future. Newly-appointed scholars cannot stay in Yunjing directly to work, and those who can stay are not ordinary people."

"You have talent, and being a local official can also bring benefits to the people. It depends on what you want." Wen Zhimiao looked at the still reserved person in front of him.

After changing clothes, he revealed his pretty face. Actually, his appearance was not bad, just a little rough from years of hard work.

"You don't need to rush to answer me. Just don't trust others easily once you leave this palace. Those who want to win you over may not be sincere."

Wen Zhimiao knew how difficult it was for her, so he gave her a few more instructions.
