Chapter VII. Your Majesty, let it rest
The mood of joy seemed to be contagious, Sheng Jingyu felt the simple excitement of almonds, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a slight arc.
What an easy child to satisfy.
He picked up a pen and wrote two words on the paper—almonds.
"It's your name, will you recognize it?"
Almond looked at the familiar two words and nodded.
"I recognize my name, it's ...... Won't write. ”
Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are things that only rich and noble families can have, and she has only carved her name on the ground with stones.
"Then I'll teach you to write your own name."
After speaking, Sheng Jingyu held the almond's white and tender little hand and stuffed the brush into her hand.
The touch of his hand was very good, he couldn't help pinching it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a man's hand can be so small and so soft.
Almond looked at the hand being held, her face a little hot, and let her fingers be fiddled into a fixed position.
"Raise your wrist, don't use too much force to put down the pen, pay attention to gentle and steady when moving the pen, you give it a try."
Almond held back her joy, listened to Sheng Jingyu's words, and carefully wrote her name on the paper.
Although it's a little crooked and not very good-looking, it can indeed be seen that it's her name!
Almond was very excited, seeing her so happy, Sheng Jingyu couldn't hit her.
He had no choice but to hold the nephrite-like hands again and carefully write every stroke on the paper.
"Remember this feeling so that you can write well."
Almond nodded "yes".
She looked at her wrapped little hands, and under the leadership of the big knuckled hands, she wrote her name.
The handwriting is standardized and neat, and it is good-looking.
She couldn't help but think in her heart: Your Majesty is really a good person, although it looks terrible, but in fact he is a kind person with a cold face and a warm heart. He taught her to write her name, and she must serve His Majesty well in the future.
After learning the words, His Majesty rewarded her with paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and the almond was like a treasure, and carefully took it back to the residence.
Since she lived alone, no one disturbed her, so she practiced calligraphy until late, and she didn't stop writing until the palace light went out outside the window and there was no light source.
In the faint light of the moon, Almond looked at the paper full of her name, and there was no extra blank space to put pen to paper, and nothing was wasted.
Satisfied, she put away the papers, went to bed and slept soundly.
Think about it day and dream night night.
In the dream, Almond handed the written envelope to his brother, and when the brother read the letter she had written, he was so surprised that he could stuff an egg in his mouth, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Almond in her sleep was also amused, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.
*
Almond has become lazy these days, because she has no work, so she sleeps until dawn.
As a result, she was awakened by Gonggong Li today.
Gonggong Li was followed by a palace maid with tears on her face, and after seeing the almonds, the palace maid handed her the bright yellow clothes in her hand, and turned back and ran away crying.
Almond looked at the palace maid who ran away and was confused, and Grandpa Li's next words made her even more confused.
"Almond, in the future, the work of serving Your Majesty to get up early to change clothes and wash will also be handed over to you."
Without waiting for her to ask questions, Gonggong Li continued, "Your Majesty doesn't like women waiting, and says that you are the most idle in the palace, so let you serve Your Majesty." ”
After speaking, Gonggong Li patted her on the shoulder, looking very respectful of her.
"Your Majesty has specially arranged things for you to do, you do it well, and the future is limitless."
Sure enough, it's not that I didn't report it, but the time has not come.
So did she really provoke His Majesty that day?
Sheng Jingyu's order had already come down, and Almond naturally couldn't refuse.
Besides, he taught her to write, and he was an approachable person who was not difficult to serve.
Thinking about it, Almond happily agreed, and rushed over with Sheng Jingyu's underwear.
In the inner hall, Sheng Jingyu is sitting on the couch and closing his eyes.
Almond looked at his naked body, didn't think much about it, and quickly put on the underwear in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried about catching a cold."
Sheng Jingyu opened his eyes and saw that the person who came was almonds, and his face looked a little better.
He stood up and opened his arms in cooperation.
Almond had experience and quickly put on his shirt this time.
But a new problem came again, she looked at Sheng Jingyu's lower body wearing only obscene pants, and made a difficulty.
"Your Majesty, lift your feet."
Almond squatted under Sheng Jingyu, looking at his hairy calves, and couldn't help but compare them with the eunuchs of the South Third Institute.
The eunuchs have no leg hair because of physiological castration, but His Majesty is different, His Majesty has a lot of leg hair, but it is relatively even, and it will not affect His Majesty's handsome image at all.
Almond was still thinking about this inexplicable thing, Sheng Jingyu had already raised one foot, and Almond quickly put the trouser leg in when he saw this.
This foot was covered, but Sheng Jingyu's other foot was still unmoving, and Almond had to speak again.
"Your Majesty, the other."
Waiting for Sheng Jingyu to get dressed was like serving his younger brother who didn't know how to dress before, and when Almond finally put both trouser legs in, a thin layer of sweat was already on his forehead.
Next, she only needs to lift her pants from the crook of His Majesty's legs, and she is done.
Almond thought it would be easy, but it wasn't until her pants got stuck halfway through that she realized it wasn't easy.
"Your Majesty, you can rest."
The almond couldn't be touched directly, so he had to suggest it out loud.
The heat of the body reminded Sheng Jingyu of the unruly palace maid before, and her face instantly became like frost.
He said impatiently: "I am a fierce dragon, don't care. ”
Besides, he is not an immortal, how can he rest as much as he wants?
Almond naturally doesn't understand, so I don't blame her for her ignorance.
Almond didn't care what His Majesty said, she only cared about how her task should be completed.
"So what to do? Your Majesty is about to go to court. ”
Sheng Jingyu naturally didn't want to go out like this, but lowered his gaze, as if he was thinking about something.
*
Zhu Yan was a little worried, Sheng Jingyu drove away a palace maid in the morning and replaced the newly appointed imperial bather to go in, but until now, he has not come out.
Seeing that it was about to be the time of the upper court, there was still no movement in the hall.
Zhu Xi was hesitant to remind His Majesty, but he heard His Majesty in the palace call him: "Zhu Yan! ”
Zhu Shi hurriedly responded: "The old slave is here!" ”
"Bring a basin of water."
Didn't Your Majesty wash up?
Zhu Yan was puzzled, but still obediently ordered.
The palace maid Cuilian received the order and entered the dormitory with a basin of water, and before she reached the inner hall, she listened to His Majesty's mouth.
"Just put it outside."
Cuilian did so puzzled, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and walked lightly to the inner hall and looked inside.
I saw Sheng Jingyu sitting on the couch, and there was a person kneeling in front of him, wearing a crescent-colored dress, and he didn't look like a eunuch, who was this person?
Isn't it Cuihe who serves His Majesty to change clothes?
Cuilian was puzzled, but when she saw Sheng Jingyu standing up and walking towards her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly left the dormitory.
