"Grand Duke, is there an iron strike in the palace?" On the way back to Shaohua Palace, Ji Xingzhi suddenly asked.

Although the Grand Duke didn't understand the meaning of Ji Xingzhi's question, he still replied truthfully: "No." ”

Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly: "Get ready, I'm going to go out of the palace." ”

The Grand Duke did not hesitate, and was about to start preparing when he answered "yes", but was stopped by Ji Xingzhi: "No need to prepare." Find me some embroidery needles, remember to make the finer ones, the finer the better. ”

She was afraid that as soon as she left the palace, she couldn't help but go to Uncle Huang, so her efforts in the past two years would be in vain.

"What is the use of the emperor's embroidery needle?" Ji Xingzhi doesn't like embroidery, the Grand Duke knows, but at this time, he wants an embroidery needle, and the Grand Duke is really puzzled.

"I'm useful." Ji Xingzhi's mysterious secret way.

Ji Xingzhi didn't want to say it, and the grand duke didn't want to ask too much, so he had to do it according to his words.

In the Shaohua Palace.

The eldest duke found a large box of embroidery needles, some of which were so thin that they couldn't even be seen, and Ji Xingzhi was very satisfied with this.

Ji Xingzhi tied the needles to her hair one by one, and shook her little head one by one, which frightened the eldest duke.

"Your Majesty, beware of hurting yourself!" The Grand Duke watched worriedly, for fear that the silver needle would hurt Ji Xingzhi.

Seeing that the eldest duke was so nervous, Ji Xingzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

If she is not allowed to learn martial arts, she has to find a way to protect herself, but she knows how to heal, and it is trivial for her to use silver needles to puncture acupoints, and it is also a bit of a safety guarantee.

Since returning to Shaohua Palace from Fengling Palace, half a month has passed, and Ji Xingzhi has not taken a step out of Shaohua Palace, except for reading books every day, she is like a complete nerd.

On this day, the Grand Duke suddenly wanted to speak and stopped: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

Ji Xingzhi lay on the bed and looked at the book, without raising her eyelids, and said lazily: "Then don't ask." ”

"Uh......." The eldest duke didn't expect Ji Xingzhi to refuse so simply, and he should have changed his opening sentence if he knew it.

Seeing that the Grand Duke was deflated, Ji Xingzhi suddenly put down the book, let out a series of happy laughs, and then asked with the appearance of an old god: "Hahahaha~ Does the Grand Duke want to ask me why I am suddenly so diligent and studious?" ”

The Grand Duke nodded awkwardly: "Exactly." ”

The grand duke has wanted to ask this question for a long time, but after holding it for two years, he still hasn't held it back.

Ji Xingzhi straightened her face and complained: "It's not because of Uncle Huang. ”

After Ji Xingzhi told the Grand Duke like this, the Grand Duke suddenly realized.

After listening, the eldest duke knew that Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan had made an agreement that if Ji Xingzhi could win the first place in the literary examination competition three years later, Xiao Moyan would follow Ji Xingzhi's will not marry a wife and take a concubine for the time being.

In order to prevent Xiao Moyan from denying it after she won the first prize, she made that will in the court, she believed that Xiao Moyan was true to her word, but everything still has a guarantee to be at ease, after all, there is an old saying that empty words have no basis.

It can be seen that in order to be able to hold the emperor's uncle, she is also well-intentioned!

Make up your mind to study the knowledge of the Dixi Continent so that you can win the literary examination competition.

Only then did the Grand Duke know that Ji Xingzhi's infatuation with Xiao Moyan had developed into an infatuation.

However, in a place that Ji Xingzhi didn't know, Xiao Moyan lay quietly on the low couch, supporting his head in one hand and holding a piece of rice paper in the other, looking at the contents of the paper thoughtfully, his brows moved as if he didn't have anything, and something seemed to flash in a pair of cold ink-like eyes, as if there was nothing.
