Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 700 Let's talk
But at this time, the guard hiding in the tree saw Zhao Mingyue wearing the eunuch's costume, and almost fell from the tree.

Princess Lu, why do you come here dressed like this?
Because Du Jinning wanted to sort out the books, Aoki and Guanqi were in the yard together.Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Qing Mu came over to open the door, and when he heard the mother-in-law talk about the matter, he glanced at Zhao Mingyue, and hurriedly said: "You guys wait here, I'll call the young master." Run in and report to Du Jinning.

"From the palace? A girl?" Du Jinning's first reaction was that Zhao Mingyue sent a palace maid here, and he didn't know what the fuss was about.

She quickly put down the book in her hand and went out.Qi Muyuan saw it and quickly followed.

Several people came to the gate of the courtyard, Du Jinning saw that it was Zhao Mingyue himself, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Princess, why are you here?"

Both the mother-in-law and Xiao Si were stunned.

This is...the princess?
Qi Muyuan was also taken aback, then frowned.

What did the princess come to Du Jinning for?When did the two of them meet?

Looking at Zhao Mingyue's pretty face, and then at Du Jinning, for some reason, a sense of crisis surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't shake it off.

When Zhao Mingyue saw Du Jinning, she immediately beamed with joy: "I finally found you." Then he said, "I have something to talk to you about."

Seeing Du Jinning standing still at the door, she raised her eyebrows, raised her chin slightly and said, "I ran all the way here, and you won't invite me in?"

Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside: "Please come in."

She just thought it was not good to let Zhao Mingyue into her yard.Men and women are different, so it would be bad for Queen Mother Zheng to trouble her.But it's not good to block the door to prevent her from entering. After all, the other party is a noble princess, so it's too rude.Queen Mother Zheng may be unhappy if she finds out.

Whatever you do is wrong.

In order to avoid suspicion, she stopped the old woman who was about to leave after a salute: "You come in too." Then she told the servant, "You go and ask your wife to come over."

"No, no, don't bother Mrs. Du. I'll leave after I finish talking." Zhao Mingyue waved her hands quickly.

Alarmed Chen, this nature changed.If she is really married to Du Jinning, then she is her mother-in-law.She didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of her future mother-in-law.After all, no good girl came to a man's house alone like her.

Whoever has the highest status has the final say.

Du Jinning could not go against her will and welcomed her in.

That woman is also a clever person, but she also knew what Du Jinning meant, and followed Zhao Mingyue step by step.

Du Jinning saw Qi Muyuan behind him, hesitated for a while, and did not introduce to Zhao Mingyue.

She is selfish.Qi Muyuan's conditions in all aspects are good, if Zhao Mingyue takes a fancy to Qi Muyuan, wouldn't it be bad?Qi Muyuan was her man, so he couldn't let other women remember him.

Zhao Mingyue pretended to be a little eunuch to watch the excitement during the Chuanlu Ceremony, but she recognized Qi Muyuan.But her heart was on Du Jinning, seeing Qi Muyuan was as if she hadn't seen it, she didn't take it to heart at all.

Qi Muyuan looked at her vigilantly, and then at Du Jinning, wanting to see if there was any problem between the two of them.

With their own concerns, the three of them entered the courtyard and climbed the steps.

Du Jinning gestured to the hall door and said, "Princess, please come in."

Zhao Mingyue stopped in her tracks: "I want to talk to you alone."

"..." Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan's eyes widened.

The guard who touched the roof from the tree desperately also widened his eyes.

What does the princess want to do alone together?
"Princess." Du Jinning said with a wry smile, "You are a princess. It doesn't matter what you do, but I can't. If I agree to your request, it will affect your reputation. The emperor and queen mother will not let me go."

"I will be responsible for all the consequences." Zhao Mingyue waved her hand boldly.

So what if the reputation is ruined?She doesn't care anyway.As long as she and Du Jinning get married, what else will others say?

She thought simply, but Du Jinning would not allow her to do so.

Although the relationship between men and women in this era is not as harsh as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but a single man and a widow live in the same room, and one of them is a princess, that's a big deal.Is she tired of living?Besides, Zhao Mingyue has always had plans for her. If she resorted to some special means, such as tearing her clothes, Pengci said that she had a relationship with her, and insisted on relying on her, then she would not only show her identity as a woman , is there any other way out?But this step back, when the time comes, her crime of deceiving the emperor will be exposed.

It's not like she's out of her mind, how could she put herself in this situation?

"No." She shook her head.

"You..." Zhao Mingyue was angry and annoyed, and a little reluctant.

Seeing that Du Jinning's attitude was very firm, she stomped her foot vigorously, turned her head to look, pointed at the woman and said, "Then bring her in."

As she said that, she looked at Du Jinning helplessly again, and said with her mouth flattened, "Is this okay?"

Du Jinning was worried, pointing at Qi Muyuan and said, "Bring him, I agree."

Qi Muyuan was worried that Zhao Mingyue would use her status as a princess to force Du Jinning to agree to be her son-in-law.Seeing that Du Jinning insisted on taking him with him at this moment, his heart burst into joy, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.But remembering Du Jinning's joke before, telling him not to smile like that in front of women, it is easy to seduce people, in order not to get into trouble, he still tried his best to hold back his smile.

Zhao Mingyue really didn't expect to do anything to Du Jinning, she just wanted to talk to Du Jinning.

Thinking that Qi Muyuan was involved in these words, he didn't mind listening to them.The most important thing is that she doesn't have time to argue with Du Jinning, maybe the queen mother will chase after her in a while.

She nodded helplessly; "Okay."

"Come with me." Du Jinning took Zhao Mingyue, Qi Muyuan and the woman to the study together.

Because of her secret, her study and bedroom have been specially remodeled, and the sound insulation is much better than other wooden structures.At least not across a wall, one side of the room can hear the other side.

But before entering the door, she stopped and said to Zhao Mingyue: "Eldest princess, the emperor sent guards to protect me. If it is not convenient for the guards to know what you said, please tell them."

Squatting on the roof and waiting with great interest to see what the eldest princess said: "..."

Is it easy for them to work as secret guards, exposed to the sun and rain, not having three meals a day, and not being able to rest for twelve hours a day?After all, it was an interesting thing, the number one scholar was still guarding against them, it was simply too inhuman.

Zhao Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and looked around.

The focus of the dark guard was on the word "dark", so she naturally didn't see anything.

But she also understands what a hidden guard looks like.

She immediately shouted into the air: "Come down for me."
