"Your Royal Highness, the New Year's banquet is coming, and the middle palace suddenly recommended to the Son of Heaven that night for a private banquet to show off the talents of the concubines. Concubine Shen has been in the palace for less than half a year, and the concubines next to her have been taught by virtue and virtue for more than many years, so I am afraid that they can't compare. On dance skills, Yan Concubine Yan overwhelms the crowd; On poetry, the middle palace sits in charge; On Danqing, the virtuous concubine does not lose to the famous. The Queen Mother read Her Royal Highness's outstanding calligraphy, and wanted to ask Her Royal Highness to teach Concubine Shen more so that she could spend the New Year's banquet safely. ”

On the main hall, the female princess decently relayed.

After combing the ceremony, Wei Yang sat on the upper seat at this time to receive the visitors. Long sideburns hanging waist, plain belt, a silver phoenix carved flower hairpin on the side, phoenix beads with glass eye, no too much makeup, no too much pearl jade, the aristocratic style of self-contained emanation from the bones, her pair of thin peach eyes that rarely reveal her thoughts, pondered and looked at the uninvited guest in the dormitory - Shen Shuzhao.

After half a year, this former restrained concubine already has the aura of a high-ranking concubine, and quickly adapted to the days of the sixth palace. Always with the queen mother's side, there must be a lot of things to experience. At the moment, the queen mother's new minions who are raising their glory in order to balance the harem are rising.

The light in the hall is like a cage of frost, and the clouds are overcast. Everyone's face seemed to be brushed with a layer of bleak white powder, cold and cold, full of unreality, Wei Yang felt that Shen Shuzhao looked like a fleeting passer-by in a dream.

"Lonely's instructions to the Queen Mother are no different."

"It's an honor for Concubine Shen to be taught by the eldest princess herself, so I won't disturb His Royal Highness's leisure, the slave maid brought Concubine Shen here, and now it's time to go back to Changle Palace to pay tribute."

"Walk slowly. Send the female chief out of the palace. ”

In the blink of an eye, there were not many people left in the temple. Shen Shuzhao finally became nervous, I don't know if it was to alleviate her embarrassment or something else, Wei Yang casually flipped through the scroll on the side of the case, and asked casually: "Concubine Shen, have you ever practiced calligraphy?" ”

The words touched her heart, making the girl who entered her bedroom or studied under her teacher even more nervous, "Not ...... Never. She replied timidly.

"In this way, you write an ancient poem first, and I will only read your words."

Hesitant, "Actually...... Concubine ......"

"How?"

"Your Highness, in fact, the concubine is not very literate." She hastily bowed her head in shame.

Not good at reading? Wei Yang closed the scroll, and when the daughter of the four major surnames of the dynasty actually claimed that she didn't know how to read? How can such a person win the favor of the queen mother?

"Didn't Mr. Fushang teach?"

"Yes...... There are many children in the house, and the husband can't cope with it, so he can only teach the eldest sister and others. ”

In just one sentence, the first half of his life was difficult, and Wei Yang was delicate and noticed, so he no longer asked about Mr.

"Do you know how to write your own name?"

"Hmm."

"Come here, come to the case and write."

Shen Shuzhao stepped forward hard, but he didn't expect that the eldest princess, who didn't even accept the salute when she met at the beginning, would now teach herself calligraphy alone. She must not make mistakes, and she must not be embarrassed again. took Wei Yang's commonly used brush, and when he put down the pen, the fine silk trembled, trembling, and it took half a day to draw three points of water, but in this time, Shen Shuzhao felt that it was too long.

Wei Yang waited patiently, waiting for her to finish writing with trembling strokes.

"Eldest princess, is this okay?"

"Hmm...... Your name is not what it was written for the first time. ”

The smugness in the corner of Shen Shuzhao's eyes fluttered instantly, "That's because when the concubine was in the Shen Mansion, the most written word was her own name." My mother said that it is the duty of a human being, everything can be thrown away, and the name must not be abandoned. ”

"Give the pen to Lonely."

Lifting the brush handed by Shen Shuzhao and moistening it with ink, Wei Yang began to take a dignified posture and demonstrated how to write, and Shen Shuzhao silently memorized all her steps behind her.

As if carefully carved, Wei Yang turned the three ordinary words that Shen Shuzhao originally wrote into rhyme and beauty. In her hands, this simple name seems to be in full bloom of silk flowers, affectionate and graceful, and many years of skills are revealed between skimming and folding. Two sheets of white paper, contrasting. "Did you see it?" She asked.

The soft jaw is curved like a bright moon, lined on the snowy paper, and the pen in the hand is not a pen, but a blooming flower to be released, leaving something on the blank paper.

Under Wei Yang's inquiry, Shen Shuzhao nodded suddenly, and then immediately came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Practice slowly. In this half month, you just need to learn how to write these three words. ”

Somehow, when the eldest princess taught people, she was very ...... Gentle?

Shen Shuzhao felt that Wei Yang's image at this time was really different from when he first met, the person who was cold and dismissive was her, and the person who patiently taught was also her, what was the real her?

"You imitate the lonely words, take this paper back, go back to the palace to practice, and you can still get the calligraphy at the New Year's banquet."

The bosom was stuffed with paper.

After Wei Yang finished speaking, he wanted to close the guest.

"Eldest Princess, this is ......"

"Lonely is still busy to leave the palace, you can't stay here all the time, just go back to the palace today and copy more handwriting."

It turned out that she had no plans to stay with herself for a long time.

The image of Wei Yang in Shen Shuzhao's heart finally matched once, such an eldest princess is the eldest princess who does not save the slightest face for herself when she meets for the first time.

It's just that......

After you get right, how do you feel so bitter......

was driven away before even the bench was warm, which made Shen Shuzhao wonder if she could stay by the eldest princess's side for more than a stick of incense in her lifetime?

"That'...... When will the concubine come to His Highness again? ”

"After you consciously practice."

"Oh......"

With the paper in his arms, Shen Shuzhao consciously withdrew from the main hall, and it would take at least some time to practice the words, so the meaning of the words was condensed into two words: "Do not disturb". She stood in front of the gate of Ruizhu Palace, looking up at where Wei Yang was, this noble and arrogant eldest princess was afraid that she would never have the possibility of intersecting with herself in the future. She was born in a wealthy family, her talent is not enough, and she can't read big characters, where can she climb this talented and beautiful eldest princess to treat her kindly? Even though she stalked and found out that the eldest princess was surrounded by masters like clouds, and people who were not important in military affairs would not be treated like this, this news could only rot in her heart in the future. The less you know about royal matters, the better, especially those who don't make it clear.

She left in frustration.

Is the eldest princess really so disgusted with herself?

However, what she didn't know was that as a minion of the Queen Mother, Wei Yang, who was between the emperor and the Queen Mother, would never show any tendentious attitude towards her. In fact, since she entered the palace, her every move has been under Wei Yang's ears and eyes - this new Concubine Shen is a bad chess piece to disrupt the game, or a useless waste chess, she must know.

On the way to the palace, Shen Shuzhao walked farther and farther away with the paper that the eldest princess wrote her name for copying, as if, from the beginning of the Shen Mansion to the end of entering the palace, she has always been so lonely.

Wei Yang leaned against the window with his hands and watched her leave coldly.

"Your Highness."

The maidservant called to Wei Yang, who had been watching Shen Shuzhao for a long time by the window,

"This is the excerpt of the New Year's ceremony, which has made detailed arrangements for the congratulatory gifts of the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen and the royal concubines, please take a look at Your Highness."

Flipping through a few pages at random, Wei Yang suddenly stopped.

"King Liang ......"

Frown.

"How is his salute the heaviest of all princes?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, in the past few years when His Royal Highness left the palace, King Liang and the Queen Mother have been very close, King Liang treated the Queen Mother with a lot of congratulatory gifts last year, and the Queen Mother will give it back this year. Her Royal Highness, as the queen mother's concubine, should also respond. ”

"But if you are like this, what will the emperor think?"

"This ......," the maidservant was in a dilemma.

"That's it, this congratulatory gift will be put on hold for now. Before the order is given, it is not conclusive. ”

"Yes."

Before the year came, the congratulatory gifts made people embarrassed.

King Liang and the Queen Mother get along too closely, which will inevitably cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, the affairs of the northern Xinjiang have to be calmed, and the external worries have been solved, and now it is the turn of the internal troubles, the imperial city has not been settled and the waves have risen, Wei Yang only feels physically and mentally tired, she is unable to raise her hand to rub her forehead, and the scars on her wrists are very clearly visible.

The queen mother sent her confidants to her side, whether she was trying to ease the relationship, or to test whether she was on her side?

If life can have a choice, she hopes never to be involved with the harem.

It's a pity that Wei Yang sent Concubine Shen back to the palace and never summoned him again, and it was soon known to the Queen Mother.

Soon after, the female imperial chief visited the house in person.

It is to the effect that the year is approaching, and Concubine Shen's matter is imminent, and it is necessary to raise the calligraphy to the level of everyone's hands. Wei Yang's desire to refuse to have anything to do with the harem fell through again, and every time, it was related to this Shen Shuzhao.

When she saw her again, her calligraphy had improved significantly.

When Shen Shuzhao wrote her name exactly like her, Wei Yang showed a faint look of being a child.

"It's a little better than the first time......" Shen Shuzhao asked in a humble way.

She looked at her "master" who was studying the arts, and waited carefully for the answer. After returning to the palace that day, she spent a lot of hard work for a whole month, and she was diligent until she recalled Wei Yang's appearance when she put pen to paper. Thanks to Wei Yang, who is also a woman, she almost thought that she had a crush on someone else.

"Hmm."

This was Wei Yang's answer to her inquiry.

Just one sentence, Shen Shuzhao's hanging heart fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was no shame this time.

"That'...... That one. ”

"What."

"When will the eldest princess teach her concubine to write a congratulatory message that can be presented to the emperor and the queen mother at the New Year's banquet?"

"What do you want to write."

"The concubine doesn't know ......" Shen Shuzhao, who has been taught Chinese characters in the Shen Mansion since he was a child, felt inferior and low, "The concubine hasn't read much, and I really don't know what to write." ”

"That's it...... You go to the lonely study to find a book of poetry, and whichever page you turn to, you will write the book. ”

Shen Shuzhao was full of unaccustomed to Wei Yang's sudden kind tone, the eldest princess would give people steps like this? She felt awkward and wanted to excuse herself, but then she thought that this was the only way, and finally went to Weiyang's study honestly.

The eldest princess's library is neat and clean, free of dust.

Shen Shuzhao didn't know anything about these books, and he couldn't read a word.

She stopped and stopped, determined to pick a book of the past.

Inside the house. In a flash, the hour of half a pillar of incense passed.

Wei Yang waited for a long time, at first she didn't care about Shen Shuzhao's disappearance, but after a long time, she vaguely remembered that it seemed that Concubine Shen had come to the palace to practice calligraphy today, and then said that she was going to the study to choose a poetry book, and she was never seen again.

Her patience was losing and she decided to go to the library herself.
