Inner Sanctum

Sheng Jingyu personally brought the basin of water in.

Almond quickly got up to help, but was stopped by him.

Almond looked curiously, but saw him take her hand and soak it in the pot.

"Your Majesty, minions...... The minions will do it themselves. "Almond's face is a little hot.

Once the son of heaven actually helped her wash her hands, she was really afraid that she would lose her life.

"What so much nonsense." Sheng Jingyu turned a deaf ear and continued to wash her white and tender little hands.

After wiping, he asked her to turn her back, and Almond only heard a sound of water, and then she asked for a while, and when she turned around again, Sheng Jingyu was already fully dressed.

"You come with me."

After speaking, Sheng Jingyu walked away, and Almond hurriedly followed.

Remembering something, Almond looked back at the basin of water.

"Your Majesty, the basin ......"

Before Almond could finish speaking, the conversation was interrupted.

"Someone will clean it up, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh." Almond flattened his mouth and honestly followed behind Sheng Jingyu.

The direction they went to Almond was familiar, having only walked through it two days ago.

Until Sheng Jingyu really took her into the study, she couldn't help her excitement anymore.

Sheng Jingyu pressed the happy almonds on the desk and sat down, and said: "I went to the early dynasty, you can practice this copy book well, and I will teach you to read and write when I come back." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Almond couldn't help but grin, and the two pear vortices wanted to poke it.

Sheng Jingyu thought, and by the time he reacted, his fingers had already poked up.

Looking at Almond's puzzled look, he smiled, didn't speak, and turned to leave.

Almond was the only one left in the study, and she looked at the notebook on the desk, although she couldn't read what was written, but she practiced happily.

She was so fascinated by her practice that she didn't even know when Sheng Jingyu came in.

When she reacted, Sheng Jingyu had been standing by for a long time.

Almond hurriedly tried to stand up, but His Majesty pressed her shoulder.

"It seems that you have a high level of understanding and patience, and you are a reading material."

was praised by Sheng Jingyu, Almond was a little ashamed, "But the slave's family is poor and has no chance to study." The slave also has a younger brother in the family, who is very intelligent, and if he can read, he will definitely be able to get ahead. ”

She was sold into the palace because of her younger brother, but her younger brother has a close relationship with her, although she resents her parents a little, but she still misses her younger brother very much.

She only thought that she could earn more silver and bring it back to her younger brother, so that in addition to the family's food and clothing, she could also have extra silver taels for her younger brother to go to school.

Sheng Jingyu's heart moved when he heard this, he looked at the boy in front of him with a green face and a petite body, obviously still looking like a child.

"How old are you?"

Almond blinked and lowered her head a little shyly, "The minion is not yet eighteen." ”

Well...... is not young, when he was eighteen years old, he had already accepted a concubine.

"At what age did you enter the palace?"

"The slave only entered the palace last year, and he has been working as a cook all along."

Hearing this, Sheng Jingyu inevitably looked at the pair of white little hands, soft and tender, not at all like hands that had done rough work.

Thinking of the morning, he was a little uncomfortable and quickly looked away.

"Since you like to read, why don't you be my scholar. Your hand...... It's not suitable for rough work, so let's use it to practice calligraphy. ”

"Scholar?" And what about her bathing master? I can have thirty taels a month!

"Yes, when I was still the crown prince, the prime minister was my companion, so it should be an honor for you to be a scholar."

Where did Almond dare to compare with Prime Minister, she was still thinking about her own money, so she asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, what ...... Can a minion's imperial bather still be done? ”

Sheng Jingyu was kind enough to consider almonds, but she didn't expect her to be full of silver.

He couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"Do! Who does you do if you don't? Oh, and by the way, you can also make royal clothes. ”

Almond was still very happy listening to the front, but when she heard the back, she couldn't help but wonder.

"Imperial Doctor? Your Majesty, I won't heal. ”

As soon as the words came out, Almond was poked in the head.

"This royal dress is not the imperial doctor, there was an imperial doctor in the previous dynasty, and today there is an almond royal dress."

Almond reacted at this time, Sheng Jingyu was making fun of her!

Although her face was a little hot, she still asked expectantly, "That...... Does the royal clothes also have a fortune? ”

Sheng Jingyu hated that iron could not become steel, "It's your honor to wait for me, do you still think about it?" ”

Your Majesty is angry again?

Almond realized that he dared to pluck the tiger's beard, and quickly shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, don't be a slave."

Her attitude was correct, Sheng Jingyu was relieved, and then she said.

"To do things for me, as long as you are loyal and do things well, you will naturally have a good fortune. The scholar is teaching you, and if you don't pay for your tuition, you naturally don't have any money. In addition, the imperial bather is thirty taels, the royal clothes are thirty taels, and you have sixty taels of silver a month, how about it? ”

Almond sat up all of a sudden, sixty taels?

Sixty taels and fifty taels for the family are enough for the family's living expenses for a year, and the younger brother's illness should be cured.

When she does it for a few more months, the money she brings back will allow her brother to go to the best school.

The first grade of the big man is only two hundred taels of silver, but she can have sixty taels if she serves the emperor, and she can learn books for free.

It's a good errand that she can't ask for, and she must do it well!

Thinking of this, Almond was even more grateful to Sheng Jingyu, and she raised her head to look directly at him, trying to convey her loyalty to him.

"Your Majesty, thank you, the minion must do his duty!"

Sheng Jingyu's eyes flashed, and she laughed unconsciously.

I have to say that this little guy is like a heartfelt puppy at this time, and his appearance is lovely.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch Almond's hairy little head, hmm...... There is a lot of hair, it feels very good, it is soft and smooth, and it is really getting more and more like a puppy.

Sheng Jingyu touched her hair with great satisfaction, and had no intention of stopping.

He was about to break up her braids, and Almond felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say it.

Fortunately, someone soon came to rescue her.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fu asks to see you." Outside the door of the study, there was the voice of Zhu's father-in-law.

Sheng Jingyu's hand touching her head paused, and said, "You go back first, I will teach you these words another day." Also, you said that you have nothing to do, and you will come here during the day to practice calligraphy and take care of the study. ”

These words refer to the words that Almond copies today, and she only cares about copying, but she does not know them at all, nor does she know their meaning.

Almonds were not disappointed, thinking that they could come to the study every day to practice calligraphy, they were very happy, and simply responded "yes", and prepared to leave the study.

Almond Manmen's mind was on literacy, and as soon as he opened the door and took a step, he collided with a person.
