Ji Ziqi looked at Concubine Shen playfully, and said this sentence jokingly.

But Shen Shu didn't look very happy, looked at Ji Ziqi and said, "Is this what I want?" ”

He Qin listened majesticly, but only the princess they married knew best how hard it was, far away from their homeland, familiar with the etiquette and rules of other people's families in other countries, unable to see their parents, and enduring all kinds of grievances, how could Shen Shu be willing to do it?

Shen Shu is also the first time to show to others that she is unwilling to be a palace concubine, she bowed her head extremely aggrieved, she is in a bad mood today, no matter what, thinking about the situation on the grassland, she always feels that there are many unsatisfactory things in the Shangjing Imperial Palace, which makes her worry for a long time.

Ji Ziqi could see that she was unhappy, but as for why, Ji Ziqi was not a fairy, so naturally she didn't know what she was worried about.

"Entering the court as an official is not something that Weichen wants." Probably people are such creatures, when they are sad, if they are sad together, they will feel much more comfortable, Ji Ziqi said this, half of it is true, and the other half's original intention is to comfort the concubine Shen in front of him.

However, most of them are what Ji Ziqi thinks now, when he first came to Shangjing, it was because the elders in the family heard that it was Liang Huanqing, the daughter of General Liang Fengmian, who was now ruling in Shangjing, and it must be very difficult for women to govern.

Taiyuan Ji has always been a scholarly family, since the beginning of the previous dynasty there has been a prime minister, to each generation of descendants, are ancestors in Taiyuan County, peace and self-keeping of their own reading, although not for fame and fortune, but Taiyuan Ji has always been a famous scholarly family, often very respected.

Ji Ziqi is also very leisurely at home, reading poetry and books every day, and skimming some art of war, not only excellent literary talent, martial arts are not lost to others, he often makes appointments with three or five friends to travel the mountains and rivers together, and the days are also very comfortable, with the name of Taiyuan talent, it is very popular everywhere.

As for entering the court as an official, Ji Ziqi never thought that one day he would embark on this road, in the past, he studied just for his own pleasure, but now it is different, reading has become to serve the country, this kind of family and country feelings, is a concept that Ji Ziqi does not have in his mind.

So he came to Shangjing to participate in the palace examination, and Ji Ziqi understood it as to help Liang Fengmian's daughter, that is, Liang Huanqing, the current queen mother.

But before I had time to say a few words to the queen, I didn't think that it would be difficult to see him now.

But the name of the champion is already on himself, and Ji Ziqi can't find a reason to leave, so he obeys the arrangement, and it should be a good start and a good end.

But after becoming the secretary of the Ministry of War, Ji Ziqi knew that the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith he had learned in the past had not necessarily been learned by others, and he thought that what he had learned was very good, and others might not agree with it.

Because of the title of champion, Ji Ziqi has been worn a lot of high hats, and it is also because of the first contact with officialdom, there are many potential rules, and Ji Ziqi still needs to learn slowly, and because of this, Ji Ziqi always feels that he has failed the expectations of many people.

Everyone has some of their own worries and concerns, now Ji Ziqi has a heavy responsibility, he also understands the meaning of his official position, if he doesn't do this well, Ji Ziqi will always feel that he has some regrets that he has not completed, even if he returns to Taiyuan County, he must be very uncomfortable in his heart.

But if you ask Ji Ziqi, if you do it all over again, will you choose to become an official in the court, the answer is naturally no, which is not what he wants.

The two chatted like this from a tree distance.

Shen Shu heard Ji Ziqi say this, but she was a little surprised, in her eyes, Ji Ziqi has the aura of the champion of the palace test, and now she is the secretary of the military department, she became the secretary of the military department at such a young age, I am afraid that it will make many people envious, right?

But why did Ji Ziqi also say that this was not what he wanted? If he was unwilling to be an official from the beginning, he could have many ways not to take the palace exam, not to read or write, and even if he was above the palace exam, he could not answer the questions.

If you get the top prize, you must want it too, right? Ji Ziqi doesn't look like her, her father wants her to be married, she has to be married, there is no way back at all, even if she is the only little princess in Danqi.

Shen Shu looked at Ji Ziqi and asked, "You don't want to, why do you want to come?" ”

Ji Ziqi naturally heard the meaning of Shen Shu's words, probably asking why he seemed to be a person with many choices, why did he come if he didn't want to?

"Concubine Niangniang, how old are you this year?" Ji Ziqi smiled, looked at Shen Shu and asked.

Shen Shu was surprised all of a sudden, and didn't understand what Ji Ziqi meant, but still said truthfully: "It's twenty-five this year." ”

Ji Ziqi nodded, leaned on the osmanthus tree and looked up at the small flowers above, and said: "I have been in the palace for the past few years, and the world in my eyes is black and white. ”

Shen Shu didn't understand what he was talking about, as if he was saying bad things about himself, but he was powerless to refute it.

Ji Ziqi said again: "How can it be as simple as the concubine Niangniang thinks, there are too many things that I can actually change, but I can't change them for too many reasons." ”

Shen Shu looked at Ji Ziqi's side face, and only felt that there were too many stories hidden in his heart, but these long-sealed past events could not be easily mentioned.

At this time in the osmanthus forest, it seems that you can hear the lively sound of them climbing high and planting dogwoods in the distance.

After being silent for a while, Ji Ziqi asked, "Aren't you afraid that Concubine Shen is arguing with the emperor like that in the palace?" ”

Shen Shu looked at him and said, "You are the secretary of the military department, don't you know?" He doesn't dare touch me now. ”

Shen Shu spoke like she had never been in a sense of proportion, she knew in her heart that Ji Ziqi would not tell others about the conversation between them, although she was not very old, she still had the confidence to look at people at this point.

Ji Ziqi also smiled stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, now Concubine Shen is a hot celebrity in the court, and no one dares to touch you." ”

Shen Shu looked at him with strange eyes, and then said, "I don't like you to call me that. ”

Ji Ziqi asked suspiciously, "What should I call it?" ”

"My name is Shen Shu, just call me Shen Shu." Shen Shu hesitated for a moment, and her face turned red after speaking.

I don't know why, she would be so familiar with Ji Ziqi at first sight, and she would directly ask him to call her maiden name Shen Shu.

How many years has it been since someone else called you that?
