Chapter 26: Grinding Ink
Yue Shuqian raised her feet and entered the imperial study, the imperial study was still very quiet, there was no palace maid and eunuch guarding, Dugu Mingcang buried his head, quietly looked at the fold, quiet Dugu Mingcang, and a little pleasing, thinking like this, Yue Shuqian was startled, and really wanted to slap herself.
"Didn't your grandmother teach you to salute when you entered the palace?!" Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, her true form was revealed, and Yueshu pursed her mouth and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Yue Shuqian's reluctant appearance, Dugu Mingcang was really a little surprised, because the people in the entire palace looked at him as obediently as if they saw a tiger, no one had ever dared to do this, looking at Yue Shuqian like this, Dugu Mingcang came to a trace of interest. Dressed in a yellow palace maid's shirt, her hair was coiled up in a bun, and she only had palace flowers of the same color on both sides of the bun, and a chic hosta on her head. With a little powder, such a light moon looks dusty, fresh and natural, and looks more comfortable than a concubine who rubs fat and powder all day long, but how come he has never found such a beautiful palace maid by his side before.
"Come and study the ink." When Yue Shuqian felt a pain in her legs and was about to go crazy, Dugu Mingcang finally gave the order, Yue Shuqian stood up and gritted her teeth and looked at Dugu Mingcang, she had never suffered this kind of crime, but for the sake of soul jade, I endured it. So, Yue Shuqian walked to the table with a slight smile, picked up the grinding stone, and gently grinded the black ink in the inkstone.
"Xiaobai, don't you know how to grind ink?" This kind of look is an unhappy look, Yue Shuqian's heart is crazy, isn't it? Isn't that so? If you have the ability, you can do it yourself! "Add water to the inkstone." Yue Shu was shocked, it was really wrong.
"The slave hasn't studied ink for a long time, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Yes, that's what is written in the book, so it should be true. It is rare to see Yue Shuqian's well-behaved appearance, and the inexplicable Dugu Mingcang is in a better mood. Yueshuqian gently put some water in the inkstone and slowly grinded it with a grinding stone.
After about a quarter of an hour of research, Dugu Mingcang picked up the fold and brush on the side, unfolded the fold and put it on the table, "What is your full name, it's really not nice to call you Xiaobai." Yue Shuqian was frightened. In addition, his hand was a little soft, his hand trembled, and a drop of ink flew straight to the fold in front of Dugu Mingcang, Dugu Mingcang's face instantly darkened, and Yue Shuqian buried her head.
"Slave, slave and maid did not mean it, please forgive your majesty." Forgiveness? Then why did she forget to salute again? Dugu Mingcang was extremely depressed in his heart, if it was in the past, he would definitely drag this palace maid out directly and kill him, but now, he was a little reluctant, because he didn't want to lose this fun, Dugu Mingcang thought. Fortunately, this is only a request for the issuance of official silver, and it is harmless, as long as it is directly ordered tomorrow.
"I haven't asked your name yet." Yue Shuqian's heart trembled, this is different from the script, shouldn't they all be pulled out and beheaded? Could it be that this shemale has a bad brain?
"Slave maid, named Yue Shuqian." After a long time, Yue Shuqian still decided to say her name, but seeing Dugu Mingcang's suspicious eyes, Yue Shuqian added another sentence, "The nickname is Xiaobai." With such a far-fetched reason, Dugu couldn't help but believe it.
"Yue Shuqian, this name is really good, your parents gave it to you?" Yue Shuqian's eyes dimmed, no longer spoke, Dugu Mingcang's buried head was raised, and she saw Yue Shuqian, who was surrounded by sadness, she held a grinding stone and slowly grinded the inkstone, "You, what's wrong?" "That's right, this is the first time in history that Dugu Mingcang has a sense of guilt, the first time he has spoken to someone so politely, even he doesn't know it.
"Both of my parents died when I was very young." Yue Shu muttered shallowly, a tear fell down her face into the inkstone, and in an instant, Dugu Mingcang felt as if she had done something wrong, and she was a little restless.
"I didn't mean to." It's actually a lot like it, isn't it? My mother also died when I was very young" Actually, I am not much better, I was born in the royal family, my mother was killed very early, I have no childhood, I have been poisoned since I was five years old, I dare not close my eyes when I sleep. Yue Shu raised her head sharply and gently wiped away the strong tears, at this time, Dugu Shencang looked not so hateful, but very pitiful.
Yue Shuqian stopped talking, and gently studied the ink, Dugu Mingcang also changed his expression, the royal ruthless, he learned very early not to let anyone know his vulnerability, today he couldn't help but say to this palace maid, it's really crazy, Dugu Mingcang took the brush and lightly dipped it in ink. Looking at Yue Shuqian quietly, the veins on the side of the face shining in the sunlight were clearly visible, and the short fluff floated gently, he never realized that there were more beautiful women in this palace than Concubine Zihui.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui asks to see you." Zhou Chuande's voice interrupted Dugu Mingcang's thoughts, and coughed embarrassedly twice, Yue Shuqian immediately put down the grinding stone and stroked Dugu Mingcang's back.
"Isn't it a cold?" The soft voice sounded in Dugu Mingcang's ears, Dugu Mingcang felt like an electric shock on his body, and immediately pushed away Yue Shuqian's hand and swallowed his saliva.
"Come in." Concubine Zi Hui is tantamount to Yue Shuqian's nemesis, as soon as she heard that Concubine Zi Hui was going to come in, Yue Shuqian immediately froze, looking for a place to hide, "Xiaobai, what are you doing?" ”
"Your Majesty, where is Xiaobai?" Dressed in a purple palace dress, the purple concubine lined with grace and luxury, slowly walked towards Dugu Shencang, and bowed sideways, "The concubine meets Your Majesty." Dugu Mingcang nodded.
"Concubine Ai, please get up, Xiaobai, it doesn't know where to play." Concubine Zi Hui smiled, but she was still a little curious in her heart, that fox that could only arouse His Majesty's curiosity had really been found? Didn't I hear that His Majesty had a new personal female official, why didn't he see anyone.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a happy event to report to Her Majesty." Concubine Zihui smiled very happily, as if it was she who was happy, "Your Majesty, Sister Guifei is happy." Dugu Mingcang's smile was sluggish, and then he covered up the past and immediately stood up.
"Is that true?"
"Naturally, the Queen Mother and the concubines are in Fushou Palace." Dugu Mingcang nodded.
"Then let's go, set up Fushou Palace." Concubine Zihui looked around.
"Your Majesty, where is your new female official? Won't you let her go with you? Dugu Mingcang was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know where this girl went.
"I asked her to go to the imperial dining room, Dezi, you can ask Xiaobai to prepare a meal later." Xiaobai? A hint of danger flashed in Concubine Zihui's eyes, but it was also fleeting. Immediately, he rushed to Fushou Palace with Dugu Mingcang. Now it was Zhou Chuande's turn to be depressed, looking at the imperial study, this Xiaobai went in and didn't come out, how could he go to the imperial dining room to find Xiaobai, could it be that His Majesty wanted the golden house to hide Jiao? I don't want to be discovered by Concubine Hui, ah, it must be so, Xiaobai, you have such a good means, I will rely on you in the future
