The scorching sun in summer falls violently from the high clouds, burning the earth like a wave of fire into a fiery red and violent state.

Cicadas were chirping, it was another early morning, and the main courtyard of the governor's mansion was shaded by lush trees, creating a cool shadow.

Lin Zhihuang finished his martial arts practice with Wennan in the morning. He dragged his limbs as limp as noodles back to his courtyard and began to untie his robe to dissipate heat.

Huang Qijin was already accustomed to Lin Zhihuang's bold behavior. He was familiar with the situation and dismissed all the servants in the courtyard, leaving only two maids he had brought out personally to serve Lin Zhihuang in bathing and dressing.

Two maids were waiting on the guests in the outer room of the bath, while Huang Qijin was alone in the inner room of the bath, waiting for Lin Zhihuang to take a bath.

Lin Zhihuang took a nap in the bathtub and let Huang Qijin take care of him to relax. He also took this opportunity to recharge his batteries and think about the things to be dealt with in the afternoon.

"Ah!" As soon as Huang Qijin put the bath balm on Lin Zhihuang, he found that Lin Zhihuang's shoulders, waist, and even knees were covered with bruises from purple to blue, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Voice.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhihuang was taking a nap with his eyes closed. Suddenly he heard Huang Qijin, who was waiting for him to bathe, let out a small exclamation. He opened his eyes and looked at her in confusion.

Huang Qijin reached out uncomfortably and gently touched the large bruise on Lin Zhihuang's shoulder blade, and said sadly: "My lord, why do you have so many bruises on your body? Does it hurt?"

When Lin Zhihuang saw that Huang Qijin was only exclaimed because of the injuries on her body, he thought something sudden had happened, but his slightly tense body relaxed again.

Lin Zhihuang raised his hand and pinched Huang Qijin's cheek angrily: "How can one not endure hardship when practicing martial arts? It's just a slight bruise, nothing serious. It will be fine in a few days, so why make a fuss?"

"These injuries, my lord, are all caused by martial arts training?" Huang Qijin gently put ointment on Lin Zhihuang's body to purify her body. When his hands touched the purple bruises, he felt heartbroken.

What to do.

"Yeah." Lin Zhihuang leaned back to the edge of the bath, with a lazy smile on his lips.

Huang Qijin bit his red lips and said, "During the past few days, Mr. Wen, when he taught you martial arts, was he too strict? He was also too lenient."

Lin Zhihuang lowered his eyes and glanced at the injuries on his body, and said indifferently: "Why should you keep your hands? What is important in practicing martial arts is courage. If you teach people to look forward and backward, how can you teach people to learn martial arts well? Cong Shen doesn't care about anything.

You are all serious. As my student is disobedient, it is understandable that his teachings have been stricter these days. When it comes to martial arts, I am not a wise master, but his disciple."

Although Lin Zhihuang spoke of Huang Qijin like this, he was still murmuring in his heart. He only felt that Wen Nanfang was indeed different from the past when he was teaching her martial arts in the past few days.

In the past, although Wen Nanfang's teaching was very strict, he was tough yet soft. Unlike now, when he is teaching, he wants to train her to death.

Lin Zhihuang stroked his chin and thought to himself, could it be that she really made people angry that day by making fun of her with her mean tongue? Is this an old scholar like Congshen seeking revenge for his personal revenge?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhihuang shook his head guiltily and immediately denied the idea.

Well, probably not. Wen Nanfang is the most serious and principled in his work. How could I miss him so much.

Huang Qijin, who was waiting for Lin Zhihuang to take a bath, heard what she said and couldn't say anything else, so he felt even more sorry for his lord.

Other noble girls, at the age of the lord, were protected by their families, and they only spent their days admiring flowers, visiting the lake, fluttering butterflies and having fun, but the lord, on the other hand, got up before dawn every day to practice martial arts, and spent the rest of the time

While dealing with political affairs, busy creating a pure land, and protecting the people, people forget that she is also at an age where she needs to be protected.

Thinking of this, Huang Qijin's eyes turned a little red, and she turned her head away, not daring to let Lin Zhihuang discover the clues, and secretly made up her mind that in the future, she would serve her lord more attentively in terms of his meals and daily life.

After Lin Zhihuang took a bath, he ordered the other two maids who were waiting on her to bring them specially-made short-sleeved shorts that she had asked her to embroider in her house.

Under Huang Qijin's disapproving gaze, Lin Zhihuang put on this suit and moved briskly in his room while asking Huang Qijin to prepare lunch.

It was really too hot today, so Lin Zhihuang didn't have much appetite, so he just planned to have some simple porridge.

The short-sleeved shorts Lin Zhihuang is wearing now is a common hot-weather outfit in modern summers. This outfit is very common in modern summers, but here, it is very revealing.

Huang Qijin had been taking care of Lin Zhihuang's daily life. When he saw Lin Zhihuang carelessly wearing short-sleeved shorts, his face turned red. After he came to his senses, he strongly opposed Lin Zhihuang's appearance.

Huang Qijin simply couldn't imagine that the young lord, as long as his thoughts were unfettered, could be so unrestrained in his behavior. He actually came up with such a dress, actually wore it, and wore it so freely and casually, without any thought.

Shy attitude.

The master's jade body, even if it is a female slave, cannot be seen by others at will.

Lin Zhihuang could not comment on this matter. He thought that in such a hot weather, she only dressed like this in her own house, which was a sign of respect for the current trend. If she were to be in private, she would be asked to wear long sleeves and long trousers and be neatly dressed.

, that is simply punishment and torture.

On that day, Huang Qijin had a dispute with Lin Zhihuang for the first time. In the end, of course, he still couldn't defeat Lin Zhihuang, who had already made up his mind, so he had to start from his own side.

But whenever Lin Zhihuang wore this "wonderful attire" and was in the main courtyard, Huang Qijin did not leave any servants or maids except himself, and served him personally, fearing that someone would look at his master's jade body.

Lin Zhihuang comfortably wore short-sleeved shorts and had a meal, feeling both physically and mentally cool.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Zhihuang leaned on the couch and read the official documents reported from various counties, while Huang Qijin was applying medicine to the bruises on her body. Someone came to report through the door, and Shu Kongru was outside the county governor's house.

Post to ask for a meeting.

When Lin Zhihuang heard that it was Shu Kongru who was visiting, his eyes brightened, he put down the official document in his hand, and immediately asked the messenger outside the door to bring Shu Kongru into the meeting hall, and went to the courtyard of Wen Nanfang to inform him of the matter and let him immediately

You can go to the meeting hall to discuss matters.

"Chen Xi, bring me what I taught you to draw a few days ago." Lin Zhihuang said to Huang Qijin with some excitement.

"Yes." Huang Qijin immediately walked to the bookshelf, took down a scroll and handed it to Lin Zhihuang.

Lin Zhihuang took the scroll and unfolded it, glanced at the paintings on it, cast an approving look at Huang Qijin, and then quickly changed his clothes and prepared to see Shu Kongru.

When Lin Zhihuang dressed up and entered the meeting hall, Shu Kongru and Wen Nanfang were already waiting there. The two were talking when they saw Lin Zhihuang walking in followed by the escort Hua Ling, and they all saluted her with their hands raised.

"No need to be polite." Lin Zhihuang smiled and raised his hand.

The two stood up.
