Chapter 329: Confession
Yu Nianniang lowered her head and followed the eunuch into the imperial study, the emperor was sitting on a chair and resting with his eyes closed, and the stool had been placed under him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Nianniang saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty." ”
When the emperor opened his eyes, Yu Nianniang's thin body stood straight, standing respectfully in the center of the study with her head down, looking as if she was afraid of him, and then listening to her voice, she was calm and unhurried. Maybe it's because I've seen him more often, Yu Nianniang speaks more casually than before, unlike other people who can always tremble because of his words.
The emperor thought about it, no, Yu Nianniang showed unusual composure when she first entered the palace, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, someone poisoned the third prince, Dali Siqing said that she was suspected of committing a crime and time, in addition to him, the son of heaven, there were several important ministers of the court present at that time. Yu Nianniang was not only not afraid, but also reasoned with Dali Siqing, and in order to prove her innocence, she analyzed the case on the spot.
Not only were several important ministers surprised, but even he, the emperor, was a little impressed.
Some people are born with a kind of arrogance in their bones, they have an innate composure in the face of anyone and everything, and they will only show respect in front of people they believe in and reverence, or in front of things they believe in.
Maybe Yu Nianniang is like this.
But Yu Nianniang seems to be a little different, her arrogance has not increased because of the increase in the aura around her, but as always. Just like now Yu Nianniang has won his trust and has been called into the palace repeatedly, this is also a kind of honor he gave her in disguise, I don't know how many people envy her, but Yu Nianniang did not show complacency, arrogance and arrogance. I didn't flatter and flatter him because I could get this aura and honor. On the contrary, getting along with him became more and more casual, and this casualness carried an insurmountable respect. It's like being a parent to yourself.
The Emperor loved the warmth of the feeling.
He looked at Yu Nianniang and showed a sincere smile: "The earth master doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”
Yu Nianniang secretly sighed, her neck was tired, and finally heard the emperor speak, I didn't understand why the emperor suddenly didn't speak, but Yu Nianniang didn't dare to be careless, sat on the stool and listened carefully to the emperor.
Who knew that the emperor didn't want to talk about it today, so he asked the eunuch to take out a set of Go and put it on the table.
"Can a geographer play Go?"
Yu Nianniang wanted to say that she could play backgammon.
"A little."
"Alright, play against me!" The emperor said with a smile, looking quite interested.
Yu Nianniang had no choice but to get up and sit opposite the emperor.
The emperor holds the black son, and Yu Nianniang holds the white son.
Heizi went first, and Yu Nianniang didn't know much either, and estimated that she took a few steps in backgammon, and the emperor saw the clues.
"Will you?"
Yu Nianniang laughed twice embarrassedly, and said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, why don't we play backgammon!" ”
Gonggong Huang, who was standing on the side and waiting, glanced at Yu Nianniang, and she was probably the only one who had to bargain with the emperor in chess.
The emperor frowned: "You won't?" ”
Backgammon: That's something kids play with.
Waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, I will teach you!" The tone was very kind and kind, and he was easier to talk than usual.
Yu Nianniang couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the emperor quickly.
This dare made the emperor her master.
She hurriedly said: "Thank you to the emperor, the courtiers must study hard." ”
After a game of chess, the emperor felt that his neck was sore and tired, and it was better to play with his left and right hands.
"Withdraw." The Emperor threw Kuroko onto the chessboard.
Yu Nianniang stood up and said busily: "The courtiers are too stupid to learn, so it's better for the emperor to change the day and go down to Mrs. Yu." ”
The emperor sat back on the chair behind the bookcase, looked at Yu Nianniang and said, "How do you know that I love and Taifu are playing chess?" ”
"The courtiers just heard that Yu Taifu's chess skills are good." Yu Nianniang said with a smile.
"Oh!" The emperor instructed the eunuch to serve tea to Yu Nianniang, and only after the eunuch finished serving tea did he say, "Then how do you spend time on weekdays?" ”
"Courtiers don't know how to play Go, and when they have nothing to do, they like to dig out drums and herbs, or they play with flowers and plants, and occasionally read books." Yu Nianniang said.
"Don't like to write?" The Emperor said.
"I like it, it's just that the courtier's handwriting is not good." She has been accustomed to pen writing all her life, and let her pick up the brush again, which is really torturous, and when she came to this place, she practiced for two years, and she still picked up the words with one hand.
"Then you have to practice more, you are an earth master, you will enter the Heavenly Dao Academy in the future, you always have to write something, if you don't have a beautiful hand, how can you get it?" After speaking, the emperor took out a high-grade Duan inkstone: "I just have a square end inkstone here." Duan inkstone is the best, you can take it back and use it. ”
The best inkstones are Taohe inkstone in Taozhou, Gansu, Duanyan in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, Shexian in Anhui, and Chengni inkstone in Jiangzhou, Shanxi. This square inkstone is also of the highest grade, the material is excellent, and it is a rare good inkstone.
Yu Nianniang hurriedly accepted it respectfully and thanked her.
I wondered why the emperor hadn't summoned her before, and now he was kind enough to reward things!
The emperor instructed her: "You are a woman, even if it is easier to learn, just Xiaokai." I was afraid that she would not have a book sticker, so I asked Huang Gonggong to pick up Zhong Xuan's "Recommended Season Straight Table".
"You will copy and learn according to this book, and persist every day, and with your intelligence, you will be able to write well in time."
Zhong Xuan was a calligrapher of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is said that Zhong Xuan was the founder of regular script (small Kai), and was respected as the "originator of regular script" by later generations. Zhong Xuan's influence on later generations of calligraphy was huge, and he was called "Zhong Wang" along with Wang Xizhi. Zhong Xuan's calligraphy is mainly regular script, official script and line script, but Zhong Xuan's best writing is regular script.
You can't buy this kind of expensive book.
Yu Nianniang is grateful again, the things that the emperor rewarded today are extremely valuable. After only a few hesitations, she made a decision.
"With the inkstone and calligraphy rewarded by the emperor, the courtiers must practice calligraphy at home. Please rest assured that the things rewarded by the emperor will be kept and used by the courtiers. Before, the concubine also rewarded the courtiers with a jade pendant, because the things were too valuable, the courtiers didn't dare to wear them and had to put them on their bodies. ”
"Oh? Is it? The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What kind of jade pendant are you so careful?" ”
Yu Nianniang touched out the jade pendant, the color was yellow and crystal clear, and the carving was exquisitely beautiful, and the emperor recognized that the jade pendant was made of Tian Topaz at a glance.
"This jade pendant is carved from Tian Topaz, and the concubine actually gave it to you, which shows that she must have a good impression of you." The emperor said lightly.
The courtiers were terrified. The courtier is a rough person, and she doesn't know much about this kind of thing, but when she saw this jade pendant, she also saw the preciousness of this jade pendant at a glance. Therefore, the courtiers did not dare to wear it, and carefully put it on their bodies every day. Yu Nianniang said respectfully.
"Even if you know it's valuable, then you still accept it?" The emperor looked at Yu Nianniang.
"The courtiers didn't want to accept it. But I didn't dare to refuse the kindness of the concubine. Yu Nianniang explained, and then said: "However, later, once the queen mother met the courtiers and rewarded the courtiers. At that time, the courtiers had just arrived in the capital, and they thought that the ladies in the palace were all so rewarding, so they didn't care much. It was only later that I learned that the things given by the two mothers were unique in the palace, and they were too valuable......"
