After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 212 Worse than Zhou Papi

Seeing that she was still wet, Lu Xingzhi curled his lips helplessly, "So Madam, you don't know these two words? I thought you did."

Qiao Jingjing smiled dryly, "I don't know many words at all."

"Really?" Lu Xingzhi said meaningfully.

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she felt very panicked.

She was really careless today.

With Lu Xingzhi's intelligence, how could he not notice the abnormality?
He must have become suspicious of her.

Between telling him everything or continuing to conceal it, she finally chose to continue concealing it.

After all, her origin is too horrifying, and if she tells it, she will definitely be treated as an alien.

Lu Xingzhi was very kind to her, but it was hard to tell what would happen in the future. After revealing all her details, she would have no secrets in front of him. She would be in a passive position no matter what happened in the future.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and she doesn't want to be manipulated.

Even though Lu Xingzhi was suspicious of her, as long as she didn't admit it, he could only be suspicious.

After thinking about this, she felt much calmer and changed the topic: "This quill pen is really easy to use. Do you want to try it?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her for a moment, lowered his eyes, and finally said nothing, "Yeah."

He picked up the quill, recalled how Qiao Jingjing had held the pen just now, lowered his head and started writing on the paper.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lu Xingzhi wrote a few words with a quill pen, he found that the quill pen was really easy to use. It was much lighter than a brush, mainly because it didn't need to be dipped in ink frequently.

Thinking of this, he stopped writing and looked at the quill in his hand.

After a while, he put down the pen, looked at Qiao Jingjing, and praised: "Madam, she is so thoughtful that she can make such a clever pen."

Because of what happened just now, Qiao Jingjing felt very guilty and didn't dare to look into his eyes.

"As long as you think it's useful."

"It's very useful." Lu Xingzhi wrote a few more words with the quill pen. When he thought of something, he raised his eyes and asked, "How many of these pens have you made?"

"There are six in total, and I broke two of them. Among the ones that were successful, including the one you have, there are four." Qiao Jingjing said truthfully.

Lu Xingzhi paused and asked, "Can you give me another one?"

"Sure." Qiao Jingjing said happily, "Do you want to give it as a gift?"

Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up, "Madam is very smart."

Qiao Jingjing smiled and asked, "Who do you want to give it to?"

"The emperor's birthday is tomorrow, and the quill made by his wife can be used as a congratulatory gift." Lu Xing knew.

Qiao Jingjing opened her eyes wide, "You want to give it to the emperor?"

"Do you think it's inappropriate, madam?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and shook her head, "No, I just think it would be too shabby to present the quill like this?"

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the quill again, "It's indeed a bit shabby. What else can Madam do?"

Qiao Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "It would be better to make a beautiful pen cover outside."

Lu Xingzhi paused and understood, "I'll ask someone to do it."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

"Are you feeling better?" Lu Xingzhi turned to ask warmly.

"What?" Qiao Jingjing didn't react for a moment.

Lu Xingzhi looked at her deeply, "Didn't you say the letter period has come?"

Qiao Jingjing then remembered and nodded, "Yeah, but she's feeling better now." Lu Xingzhi didn't expose her lie, and just said, "Go back and rest."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing responded and returned to Meixiangyuan.

She kept one quill for herself, and asked Mallow to send the other two to Lu Xingzhi.

She took a quill and sat on the soft couch for a while, drawing. Then remembering that she was going to the palace tomorrow, she asked Qingyuan to get paper, a knife, paint, paste and other things.

When she was on the road last time, she promised the empress dowager and the eldest princess that she would give them playing cards. Since they were going to the palace tomorrow, she would give them to them tomorrow.

She was busy until dusk.

When Lu Xingzhi came over, he saw her sitting at her desk playing cards and walked over slowly.

Qiao Jingjing was completely focused on playing cards and didn't notice the man entering the room at all.

"Madam, your stomach won't hurt anymore?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and was a little surprised to see him standing at the table. When she realized it, she suddenly felt guilty, "No, it's nothing serious."

"Really?" Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and sat down on the chair next to her, "But how do I remember that you couldn't sit still on the first day of your period?"

His tone was unhurried and not aggressive, but it still made people feel flustered.

Qiao Jingjing felt even more guilty.

She really shot herself in the foot.

What excuse could she use to bring up menstruation?
"It's not like this every month." After a while, she forced herself to calm down.

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything else. He picked up the playing cards she had put on the table and looked at them, "Why do you do so many of them all of a sudden?"

"Last time on the road, I promised the empress dowager and the eldest princess that I would make playing cards for them. I will bring them to the palace tomorrow," Qiao Jingjing explained.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, put down the playing cards, "Let's do it after dinner."

"I'm still a little short of finishing everything." Qiao Jingjing said, "You can eat first. Mallow and the others have already prepared the food and heated it on the stove." After saying that, she lowered her head and continued cooking in her hands. Live and don't care about Lu Xingzhi anymore.

By the time she finished, it was already half an hour later.

She rubbed her sore neck and raised her head.

But he saw Lu Xingzhi sitting on the soft couch next to him reading a book.

Sensing her gaze, he raised his head and said, "Are you done?"

"It's done." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Lu Xingzhi put down his book and said to the servant waiting outside the room: "Bring the food here."

After a while, Mallow and Qingyuan put the food on the table.

Qiao Jingjing came back after cleaning her hands and saw two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. She looked at the man walking over in surprise, "Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why didn't you eat?"

"I'll wait for you." Lu Xingzhi pulled out a chair for her, "Sit down."

Qiao Jingjing sat down as she was told, thinking that he had waited for her for so long, she frowned and said, "You don't have to wait for me."

"I wasn't hungry just now." Lu Xingzhi didn't care much, "Let's eat first."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she said nothing more.

She had been hungry for a long time. After drinking the soup, she lowered her head and picked up the rice.

It was already very late. Lu Xingzhi was worried that she would feel uncomfortable after eating too much. When she wanted to add more food, he stopped her and said, "It's very late. Don't eat too much. It won't be easy to digest."

Qiao Jingjing still had more to say and said coquettishly, "But I'm hungry."

"You've already eaten a lot. Be obedient and don't eat any more tonight." Lu Xingzhi advised in a gentle voice.

Qiao Jingjing put down her chopsticks in displeasure, "Who wouldn't let others eat?" He was even more disgusting than Zhou Papi!
