Xie Ci'an had some impression of Wen Zhaoyi. Wen Zhaoyi had been with the queen all day long, so it was hard for people not to have an impression of her.

Although this person was suspected of trying to win over the queen, he did not cause any trouble around the queen and had no other intentions. Xie Ci'an sent people to investigate Wen Zhaoyi. This woman was unwilling to enter the palace at that time and was forced to enter the palace by her mother. After entering the palace, unlike other concubines, she did not try her best to win favor, but only thought about how to live safely in the harem.

He got close to the Queen because he wanted to be by her side and live the rest of his life in peace and stability.

Since he had no other thoughts and could accompany Gu Jianchu to relieve his boredom, Xie Ci'an did not stop him.

The reason Gu Jianchu mentioned this was because she hoped to take Concubine Wen out to relax. She was bored out of her mind staying in the palace all day. "I thank the Emperor on behalf of Concubine Wen for his grace, but someone still needs to stay to handle the affairs of the palace. Zhuxi is calm and steady, so I am relieved to leave her in the palace. There are not many concubines in the harem now, so I am sure she won't cause any trouble."

"The Queen has the final say on all matters in the harem." Xie Ci'an pinched Gu Jianchu's chin, leaned over and kissed Gu Jianchu on the lips.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the day of autumn hunting.

Except for the right prime minister and some ministers, all other ministers followed Xie Ci'an to the palace, and some ministers brought their families with them.

As for the harem, Gu Jianchu did not bring anyone with him except Concubine Wen.

After all, the emperor doesn't like those concubines, and they would be a burden to have around.

Mianmian is still young. Although there is no danger in the hunting ground, the journey is tiring, so Gu Jianchu left her behind and asked Zhuxi to take care of her.

Gu Jianyue was thinking about her embroidery shop and originally didn't want to go there, but she couldn't stand Gu Jianchu's nagging and wanted Gu Jianyue to accompany her so that she could relax. Gu Jianyue doted on her sister, so she simply agreed to her sister's request and followed the emperor's carriage to the palace together.

Inside the imperial carriage, Xie Ci'an was still dealing with memorials sent from various places.

Gu Jianchu lay on his back on the rabbit fur blanket, reading a storybook. Occasionally, he turned over and sat up to pinch a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth.

Bored with watching, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but summon the system.

【Are there any melons? 】

Hearing this, Xie Ci'an raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen who was dozing on the soft pillow beside him.

The queen was bored again, but it would take half a day to walk to the palace.

Xie Qingzhi, who was following the imperial carriage not far away, heard Gu Jianchu's voice again. She suddenly sat up straight, lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw that she was nearly three carriages away from the emperor and empress's carriage, but she could still hear the empress's voice.

But this voice is rather weak.

It seems that one can hear the Queen's inner thoughts not only when one is by her side.

However, the journey is long and boring, and being able to eat melons with the queen can really help to relieve boredom.

Jiang Fengmian, who was sitting opposite Xie Qingzhi, poured a cup of tea and brought it to Xie Qingzhi, "Princess, please have some tea."

The gentle voice brought Xie Qingzhi back to his senses. He quickly lowered the curtain and his eyes naturally fell on the man opposite him. He took the teacup and took a sip. "This white tea from Qinghe County tastes very different."

"White tea is not a refined drink. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Jiang Fengmian lowered his head naturally.

"Try it occasionally, it has a unique flavor. Don't just let me drink it, Dean Jiang, you should drink it too. I also have people prepare some pastries specially for you, Dean Jiang, try them too." Xie Qingzhi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Jiang Fengmian, and pushed the pastries in his hand in front of Jiang Fengmian.

"Thank you very much for your kindness." Jiang Fengmian didn't dare to look up at Xie Qingzhi. He picked up the teacup beside him and drank it in small sips. However, he still felt a burning gaze falling on him, and Jiang Fengmian blushed.

[Ugh, Xie Qingzhi actually managed to kidnap Jiang Fengmian.]

Xie Qingzhi knew that if he told Jiang Fengmian the truth, Jiang Fengmian would definitely refuse, so Xie Qingzhi told Jiang Fengmian that this was the emperor's order and she had to go. After all, Yousong Academy was considered a semi-royal academy, with Xie Ci'an supervising the private students. As the dean, how could he refuse the emperor's invitation? He even said that he was not an official and could not afford a carriage on his own. For convenience, the emperor put Jiang Fengmian in the princess's carriage and went with her.

[Is Xie Qingzhi sure this isn't for his own selfish desires?]

[Does the Emperor know that his words were conveyed by Xie Qingzhi in this way? The Emperor has truly shouldered a heavy responsibility. I wonder how Xie Qingzhi will explain this to Jiang Fengmian when he sees the Emperor.]

While eating the watermelon, Gu Jianchu secretly glanced at the resentful emperor who was dealing with memorials.

Xie Qingzhi just wanted to eat a melon, but he didn't expect that it would eat his own body.

Especially after hearing the latter part of the words, Xie Qingzhi choked on the water in his mouth and started coughing violently while holding the table. After a while, his little face turned red and his body trembled.

Jiang Fengmian looked at Xie Qingzhi helplessly as she coughed so uncomfortably. Finally, she couldn't help but raise her hand to help Xie Qingzhi smooth her back. She also took out the handkerchief from her waist and handed it to Xie Qingzhi, "Your Highness, be careful."

Xie Qingzhi took the handkerchief and waved, "I'm fine."

If you want to blame someone, don't blame the nagging Queen. It would be fine if she just knew it, but she also cursed in her heart and said it out loud.

I don’t know why the queen likes to eat her melons so much.

After a while, Xie Qingzhi finally recovered from his severe coughing. He waved at Jiang Fengmian, indicating that Jiang Fengmian could leave.

Jiang Fengmian sat back in his original seat politely.

Gu Jianchu’s inner voice continued to ring out.

Lord Rong unexpectedly brought his daughter to the palace.

After Miss Rong's elopement with her gigolo was discovered, Master Rong had locked her in her boudoir, forbidding her from leaving or interacting with outsiders. Who would have thought that Miss Rong would actually quarrel with Master Rong over her gigolo? She smashed everything in the room, even went on a hunger strike, and threatened to marry Gu Geng. Master Rong was nearly pissed off, and it took him several days to recover from Miss Rong's irritating words.

Miss Rong was blinded by that scumbag, but Lord Rong was very clever. He knew that the scumbag had ulterior motives in contacting Miss Rong, and he had no choice but to agree to his daughter marrying such a man. Moreover, Gu Geng was a man of bad intentions and had nothing. His daughter would only suffer if she married him. Lord Rong was afraid that his daughter would take advantage of his absence to secretly contact Gu Geng, or even run away, so he simply brought his daughter to the palace and kept her by his side to watch over her at all times.
