45. An oolong
On this day, the Jade Concubine Niangniang, who has been in the limelight recently, was personally punished by the emperor to copy books in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Xiao Hanyu was very depressed: it was obvious that he himself was talking to Lan Mozhi and Brother Han "with affection" at every turn, and at such an age, he didn't marry a wife and take a concubine before she came to Nanshu, can you blame her for thinking too much?
An hour ago, the man told her word by word with a dark face, saying that he had no wrong thoughts about any man, and if she dared to think nonsense, he would directly throw her two guards out of the palace - recalling the appearance of the man gritting his teeth when he said this, Xiao Hanyu pursed his lips aggrieved and dissatisfied.
Well, this time she misunderstood him, but wasn't she also out of kindness!
Completely ignoring the original selfishness, the girl in the prime of her life knelt in front of the desk with her lips pouted, freed her left hand, and rubbed her slightly numb knee.
Really...... She hates copying scriptures the most. Did he know this clearly, so he deliberately threw her here, in the beautiful name of "copying the classics and meditating on it"?
And...... And it was stipulated that she had to kneel to copy the scriptures, and he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, right? She had already sincerely apologized to him!
But then again, maybe this just proves that he was really annoyed by her, after all, on weekdays, he is still quite tolerant.
Alas, it seems that this time, the sins he created will be paid for on his knees.
Pity her, a weak woman who is powerless, just kneeling alone in the place where she stayed a few months ago, holding a pen and copying the scriptures all the time.
According to the rules that Li Wujian added later, if she didn't finish copying the copy of "Meditation" before dawn tomorrow, she would have to copy it for another whole day.
Not to mention, once this man becomes ruthless, he simply turns his face and doesn't recognize people!
Xiao Hanyu couldn't help but complain like this.
But when I think about it, if it weren't for my imagination being too rich, maybe this kind of oolong thing wouldn't have happened.
Not...... No, it's all because of the scripts she had read before, and the words that the concubines said in private, if she hadn't been exposed to those things, and hadn't overheard those rumors, she wouldn't have thought crookedly.
Alas, after all, it's fate!
Looking up to the sky and sighing, the girl flattened her head and continued to copy the scriptures with a bitter face.
At this moment, an old voice sounded in the silent room: "You are here again?" ”
Xiao Hanyu was startled by this sudden movement, and almost lost the brush. Fortunately, she looked up in time to see a fairly familiar face.
"Granny Nian!"
The old woman walked unhurriedly to the desk.
"Why is it here again?"
When Xiao Hanyu heard this, her little face suddenly wrinkled.
"Tell me, who punished me this time."
Xiao Hanyu suddenly felt that he had been hit by an arrow in his knee.
Mother-in-law really hit the nail on the head.
She touched her knees, which were numb from her knees, and gave a sloppy account of what had happened. After listening to her story, Rao is mother-in-law has gone through vicissitudes of life, and she can't help but be stunned.
"Did you misunderstand that the emperor likes men?"
"Woooooooooo......oo Mother-in-law, don't say it, I regret dying! ”
The girl hid her face and wept, but the next moment, the old man opposite couldn't help laughing.
"Mother-in-law!" Xiao Hanyu was ashamed and annoyed, and stared at the smiling old woman with a red face.
"Haha, hahaha...... You girl, you are really ......" Granny Nian finally slowly eased up, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face, "You...... Get up, it's really from Shen Shi to the present. ”
The old woman said pleasantly, intending to step forward to help her, but the other party refused her help and shook her head seriously.
"No, the emperor said that he wanted me to finish copying this scripture on my knees."
"Are you afraid that he will find out that you didn't do it and punish you even more?"
"Not exactly." Xiao Hanyu pursed her lips and involuntarily lowered her head, "Although...... Although I did the bad thing out of good intentions, I finally offended the emperor and made him unhappy, and I was actually quite embarrassed, so he wanted to punish me, and I also suffered it...... You have to show my sincerity, right? ”
The old man listened to her helplessly but sincerely, and the deep meaning in his eyes suddenly increased a little.
"So mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. The emperor was angry and angry, but in the end, he still picked a scripture with few words for me to copy. I figured that in another hour at most, I would be able to finish copying. ”
Stick to this part, you can't give up all your efforts, right?
Thinking like this, the girl raised her eyes and showed a bright smile at the old man, and continued to write hard.
The old woman stared motionlessly at the little girl kneeling in the candlelight, copying scriptures, and the corners of her slightly drooping mouth suddenly hooked a gratifying arc.
If it was her, maybe it would really change his mind.
Granny Nian stood quietly for a while, and then left quietly.
At the end of the night, when the morning light was faint, there was one less girl kneeling and being punished in the quiet room, and there was one more imperial concubine with all directions - as soon as he entered the house, he witnessed Xiao Hanyu's extremely indecent sleeping posture, and Li Wujian was too drunk to do it.
He was still worried about her like a ghost, and wondered if he had been punished too heavily, so early in the morning, he took advantage of the little time in front of the court to come to see her, and as a result, he saw her sleeping so sweetly, as if she had not been punished for copying the scriptures last night.
But...... Did she really copy it all night?
Li Wujian walked closer with light steps, and saw dozens of sheets of paper full of words on the desk.
The words are as beautiful as ever, but it is obvious that they are scribbled more than the other. Well, there's a pen stroke. Didn't you doze off halfway through, right?
He looked sideways at the sleeping little girl and found that there were faint ink marks on her white and tender face.
Li Wujian almost lost his laughter.
Coincidentally, she suddenly dreamed a few words, vaguely, probably complaining that he had worried about him for a while in vain.
The young emperor suddenly cried and laughed: Who told you to think about those things that are not serious? Dare to blame me.
The angry and funny man stared at the girl's delicate face up close, gradually smiled, and the whole person quietly leaned over.
Li Wujian stretched out a hand towards her face, and then ...... He pinched her nose.
The girl who couldn't breathe quickly frowned, and while hitting the strange "foreign object" with her hand, she made a sound with "hmm". However, that "thing" just refused to let her go, she was so uncomfortable that she was forced to interrupt the meeting with Zhou Gong, opened her sleepy eyes, and glared angrily at the initiator-
Ahh!!h How could it be him!?
