The emperor looked around and was very satisfied: "Well, the layout is good, elegant and quiet, it is a good place to read books." The palace maid saluted: "If the emperor has no other orders, the slave and maid will retire first." The emperor wanted to say something, and the palace maid walked away. The emperor walked around the academy and muttered, "It's rare that no one is following, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it." The emperor walked to the borrowing place of the ancient books, and the eunuch stood up and saluted: "The slave sees the emperor." The emperor asked curiously: "Behind you, is there a lone ancient book?" The eunuch got up and replied cautiously: "If you go back to the emperor, it is exactly." The emperor smiled and said, "Very good, I will go in and take a look." "As he spoke, the emperor wanted to go inside." Emperor. The eunuch mustered up the courage to stop the emperor. The emperor was a little displeased: "What are you doing here?" The eunuch smiled bitterly: "Niangniang has taken special care, and no one can be allowed in here." The emperor frowned: "Am I not okay?" The eunuch replied in a low voice: "Niangniang took special care, especially the emperor." ”

The emperor frowned: "Which lady takes care of you so much?" Concubine De walked in from outside the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who takes care of you." When the emperor saw Concubine De, he smiled helplessly: "Ai Concubine, I just go in and take a turn, and I won't turn around." Concubine De asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in front of the sisters in the harem, is this a fake public benefit?" Concubine De looked at the concubines who came in with the pass cards behind her, and then looked at the emperor. The emperor coughed and said solemnly: "I am here to borrow an ancient book, you go and get it quickly." The eunuch saluted: "Yes, the slave will go." After a while, the eunuch took a catalog and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the catalog, take a look, which one do you want to borrow?" "The emperor looked at the catalog seriously and found a copy of what he wanted to read the most." That's it. The emperor pretended to be majestic and said. The eunuch nodded and went to fetch it.

"Your Majesty, please register here." The eunuch took the pen and prepared to take notes. "Five taels of silver." The eunuch said with a grin. The emperor frowned: "Five taels of silver? The eunuch smiled and said, "This is to ensure that the ancient books are not damaged and maliciously embezzled." Five taels of silver can be borrowed for five days, and after five days, one day late is returned, ten taels a day. The emperor looked at the concubines behind him, and could only smile bitterly and said, "That's very good." "Then, the emperor took out five taels of silver and handed it to the eunuch, who took the silver and made a note on the file, and the silver was collected on the table." Your Majesty, you take care of it. The eunuch smiled and handed the book to the emperor, who was very satisfied with the book. In five days' time, I'll be sure to return the book. The emperor walked up to Concubine De and said happily. Concubine De saluted: "If the emperor doesn't have time, the concubine can return it on his behalf." The emperor nodded: "Okay, I know." Then, the emperor patted Concubine De on the shoulder and left.

With the blessing of the emperor, the Imperial Academy has become popular. The concubines in the harem are all discussing the imperial academy, and when they are bored, the concubines are also studying poetry books. In Yonghe Palace, the virtuous concubine is still in confinement, drinking the tonic soup brought by Liuhe. "Mother, that's probably it." Liuhe whispered. Concubine Xian smiled: "This Ouyang nobleman has a special mind. Liuhe nodded: "Now, because of the safe birth, the affairs of the academy are inconvenient to manage, and the power is handed over to Concubine De, and Concubine De goes to Ouyang Nobleman for dinner every day." Concubine Xian frowned: "Do you go every day?" Liuhe nodded: "Go every day, no day falls." Concubine Xian sighed: "My vitality has been greatly damaged during this birth, and the imperial doctor instructed me to recuperate well, otherwise, how could Ouyang Guiren come to this point." Liuhe rubbed her temples for Concubine Xian: "Niangniang, don't worry, the academy will be arrogant for a few days, and when Niangniang is out of confinement, this harem will still listen to Niangniang." Concubine Xian nodded: "You tell me more about the situation of the academy." Liuhe whispered about the academy.

In the Imperial Academy, the melodious sound of the piano is heard. In the exhibition pavilion, many concubines gathered together and listened quietly. "My sister's song is really fascinating." After the song, a concubine whispered. "My sister praised it falsely." The concubine who played the piano said with some embarrassment. The emperor walked in from outside the door and clapped his hands: "Okay, good, I didn't know that there were people with such superb piano skills in this harem." "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." All the concubines in the exhibition pavilion saluted the emperor. "Get up. So Yaxing, don't let me destroy it. "The emperor walked over to a chair and sat down, looking very happy." What house are you from? The emperor looked at the woman playing the piano and asked. The concubine was promised by Tang of Zhongcui Palace. Don replied respectfully. Why, I never seem to have seen you. The emperor asked curiously. Tang promised and smiled: "The concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she has never had the opportunity to meet the emperor. The emperor suddenly realized: "Oh, since that's the case, I'll go to your palace for dinner tonight." ”

Tang promised to be a little overjoyed, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face: "The concubine is waiting for the emperor." The emperor nodded: "Get up, can I listen to another song." Tang agreed to get up, then sat down and played a song for the emperor again, and the emperor was fascinated by it. Well, the piano skills are exquisite, and I should have put some effort into it in the early years. The emperor praised. Tang agreed and bowed his head: "The emperor has praised it." The emperor got up and prepared to leave: "You prepare early tonight, and as soon as I am done, I will go to your palace." Don promised shyly: "Yes." "After the emperor left, the concubines of the Zhanyi Pavilion all promised to Tang to say hello." It's a pity that I'm not talented, I'm afraid I don't have such a blessing. A concubine said with some sorrow. Tang agreed and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, whatever you want to learn, you can learn here." The concubine nodded: "Now, this imperial academy is a blessed land." A few days ago, a concubine made great progress in practicing calligraphy, and was also appreciated by the emperor. "Yes, now, this pass card in our hands is extremely precious."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not forget why we came here." One of the concubines said. "Yes, a few days ago, a concubine was punished by the emperor and grounded for three months because she was dressed too charmingly." The other concubine whispered. "So, let's do what we want to do well." A concubine who was still practicing calligraphy seriously said. "Yes. I've been thinking about this game of chess for two days, but I haven't thought of a way to crack it. "That's the subtlety, if you can crack this game, you will understand the essentials of chess." "Is that right?" "Relax your right hand a little." "Don't be too heavy when you put pen to paper." "Okay, I'll try again." In the exhibition art pavilion, the concubines are learning and communicating with each other, which is very harmonious. When Concubine De passed by the exhibition pavilion, she looked in through the window, and the corners of her mouth raised. "Mother, you seem to be happy." Fei'er asked in a low voice. Concubine De replied in a low voice: "This scene in the academy is something I have only seen in my dreams. ”

"Indeed, it is really rare for concubines to be happy." Fei'er nodded in agreement. Concubine De walked towards the library pavilion and said, "This kind of harem is what a harem should look like." "In the library, everyone is reading quietly, and in the whole room, you can hear the sound of turning books and writing with a brush. Concubine De cautiously walked into the library pavilion, found a book, and sat down in her seat to read it seriously. Xiao Xiao walked up to Concubine De and put down a note. Concubine De looked around, but no one saw it, so she opened it carefully. "Thank you sister for your help." It was Ouyang Tong's handwriting. The corners of Concubine De's mouth raised. Today, Tang promised to be able to grasp such a good opportunity to show his piano skills in front of the emperor, but in fact, Ouyang Tong arranged it single-handedly. Several concubines in the palace with noble character, Ouyang Tong and Concubine De have already understood clearly, and Ouyang Tong wants to use the academy to find a way out for them. Concubine De knew that Ouyang Tong's purpose in founding the academy was not simple, but no matter what the purpose was, as long as the academy could continue to open for a long time, Concubine De was willing to do anything.
