Inside the study

Almond grinding ink while listening to Sheng Jingyu's explanation.

She thought he had forgotten the last casual mention.

The last time I practiced calligraphy in the study, because the prime minister came, Sheng Jingyu didn't have time to teach her the meaning of these words.

In the next few days, he was not available, and Almond had to practice calligraphy by himself.

So at this time, Sheng Jingyu gave her a lesson, and she was extremely excited, and her eyes were shining.

Sheng Jingyu was a little uncomfortable stared at by her burning gaze, and quickly turned her attention to her posts.

"Flowers float and water flows freely, a kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure."

Sheng Jingyu read it out slowly, and then realized that what she gave to the almonds that day was actually a woman's poetry post.

But it doesn't hurt, it's just a matter of learning words.

As he spoke, he wrote the poem on a piece of paper.

One stroke at a time, one horizontal and one fold, one hook and one stroke, slowly put together, presented on rice paper.

Almonds look carefully, mainly to see the strength of the pen and the details of the strokes.

After Sheng Jingyu said the pronunciation and meaning of each word, Almond corresponded them to everything in life, and suddenly felt that the world became novel.

She's like a hundred thousand whys, full of curiosity about words.

"And what is this poem talking about?"

Sheng Jingyu explained: "Tell the woman's lovesickness for parting. ”

"The lonely drift of flowers, the lonely drifting of water, a kind of parting lovesickness but affects the sorrow of two places."

Almond was amazed, "It's so beautiful! Your Majesty, since it's lovesickness, can I write to my brother? My brother must have missed me at home. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Jingyu also thought of his brother.

His elder brother, like Almond to his younger brother, was very caring and concerned about him when he was young.

But......

"This is written about a woman's concern and longing for her husband, which is not suitable for brothers."

Almond lowered her head in a huff, but quickly picked herself up again, "I miss you." Your Majesty, can you teach me to write? ”

After staying with Sheng Jingyu for a long time, almonds always sometimes unconsciously pop up the word 'I'.

She looked up at Sheng Jingyu's expression, there was no sign of anger, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Jingyu was still stunned, and only after a while did he realize that Almond was not saying to him, "I miss you".

It's not to blame him for misunderstanding, it really sounds, like Almond is confessing to him, and he still has anticipation and throbbing in his heart.

He smiled and shook his head, brushing away the strange feeling in his heart, and wrote these four words on the paper.

The emperor gave people a lesson, and those ministers didn't dare to believe it, so Almond cherished this time even more.

After the end, Almond cherished Sheng Jingyu's handwriting and took it back to the room to copy it over and over again.

In the end, she practiced like Sheng Jingyu, and the remaining points, the strength of the font and the strength of the muscles, are far beyond her reach.

She imitates the form, and has no intention.

Almond was sufficient, however, that she imagined her brother's look of surprise when he received the letter, and she was immediately proud.

*

After eating a hearty meal in the past few days, Almond's face is visibly rounder, and his complexion has improved.

She was wearing a crescent-colored robe with a fur collar, like a clever and lovely Fuwa, which was very pleasing.

Almond is now a celebrity around the emperor in the palace, and he has a very comfortable life.

She looked forward to the end of the month as soon as possible, so that she could take it home.

Sheng Jingyu disappeared all day today, and seeing that it was almost dusk, Almond found that the palace was suddenly very busy.

She inquired curiously about Gonggong Li, and learned that tonight was General Li Chen's celebration banquet.

Almond then remembered that she had heard about it in the back kitchen before, and she didn't care about it at the time, but now she had some thoughts in her heart.

The celebration banquet must be very lively, right?

She also wanted to go and see, but Sheng Jingyu hadn't returned to Jing'an Palace today, so she had to ask Gonggong Li for help.

To put it mildly, almonds have the work of cloth vegetables, and they can take this opportunity to see the excitement at the banquet.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Almond hurriedly went to the head of the imperial dining room to report.

The Governor knew her, after all, she had worked under him.

But now it's different, Almond is a celebrity next to the emperor, and it's no problem to be on an equal footing with him.

So the manager readily agreed, and only gave her an easy job of serving wine.

Now that most of the dishes have been served, Almond came to the celebration banquet with a pot of wine.

As soon as she arrived at the table, she saw at a glance the person sitting at the top, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, accompanied by a beautiful woman beside her, who was pouring food and wine for him.

The beauty was tall and tall, with charming eyes like silk, red lips and white teeth, and she had been secretly sending autumn waves to Sheng Jingyu, but he didn't even look at her.

No wonder Sheng Jingyu didn't return to Jing'an Palace today, it turned out that there was a concubine with him.

The concubine is also as beautiful as a flower, and her figure is delicate and graceful.

Almond looked at his shriveled figure and couldn't help but pout.

There were many people in the venue, and in addition to the officials, there were also the ladies and servants they served.

The minions and guards in the palace accounted for the majority, the guards guarded the periphery, and the minions were responsible for serving food and wine, waiting behind the adults to wait for summons.

Although there were many people, they were all well-trained and unhurried, so the whole banquet was also orderly and orderly.

Almond was the second to deliver wine, and in front of her was a little palace maid, who looked very immature, should be very young, and couldn't hide her curiosity at this time.

Almond couldn't help but pay more attention to her because of her green face.

At this time, a wave of dancing girls with white scarves and faces surged up in the open space of the banquet, all of them wearing light veils, their postures were enchanting, and their exposed eyes were charming and amorous.

The guzheng and pite are played at the same time, and beautiful music is played, and the dancers dance to the music, dancing gracefully.

Almond glanced at it and retracted his gaze, holding back the novelty in his heart, An An sent the wine to the corresponding table in parts.

This table is located in the second position on the right-hand side of the emperor's seat, and it is thought that he is also a respected minister.

At this time, the people at the table were holding their chins, watching the singing and dancing boredly, and the food on the table did not move at all.

Almond brought the wine to the table, dipped a glass of wine and put it on the table, but saw that the man did not move the glass, but directly picked up the wine jug and poured the bowl full, and immediately poured it into his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, there was no wine left, and the bottom of the bowl was clean.

He began to pour a second bowl again, and soon the flask was empty, and he frowned and said in a thick voice, "Another jug!" ”

Almond was a little stunned, and did not move for a while, causing the man to look back at him, which also made Almond see his appearance clearly.

The facial features are deep, the thick eyebrows are straight, and a pair of murderous eyes on the bronzed face shoot straight at her.

This man is so fierce!

Almond was suddenly frightened, and replied repeatedly: "Yes...... Yes, sir. ”

She turned to get her stock of wine again, but heard a crunch next to her—the sound of glass shattering.
