Chapter 133: You can't take it for granted
"How."
The emperor's tone was not like asking, but like he already knew something.
Su Youyi patted her ass, "Then you need to talk about it?" Naturally, the prince who was strictly taught by the emperor was better, and the handwriting was neat and neat, but it was better than the handwriting of many adults. ”
"And whose handwriting is the best?"
The children pricked up their ears when they heard the emperor's voice, especially the three princes, who cared more about their advantages and disadvantages in the emperor's heart.
Su Youyi thought for a moment, the third prince was still young and lacked pen power, so it was nothing more than choosing between the eldest prince and the second prince.
It's just that the styles of the eldest prince and the second prince are completely different, and it's hard to say who is the best-looking.
She thought for a while and said, "The eldest prince has a powerful pen, but he is a little flying and not calm enough. The second prince's pen is quite methodical, but it is weak in the end. It's not good to look at the concubines, but it's rare at this age. ”
Everyone knew that she was good with the eldest prince, but she had a bad relationship with the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Xian, but she did not take this opportunity to elevate the eldest prince and belittle the second prince, and spoke very fairly.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, I heard the child's low ridicule, "I really know how to talk big, the words of the eldest prince and the second prince are not good, so what has become of us?" ”
The eldest prince frowned, and when he heard them laughing at Su Youyi, he subconsciously wanted to argue for her, "What nonsense are you talking about, do you know how beautiful Concubine Zhao's handwriting is?" ”
The children who were talking to each other were yelled at by the eldest prince and were too frightened to speak.
The emperor's gaze was faintly unkind, and Su Youyi hurriedly played a round, "It is common for a few little princes to think like this, and there is no offense, don't be angry." Presumably, your mothers can't read and write, so you think women can't write, right? ”
She looked at the two children tenderly, and they nodded obediently.
Su Youyi turned back to look at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, it's better to let the concubines make an ugly offer, so that the children can know that there are some things that cannot be taken for granted, and if you don't understand, you won't have the right to speak, what do you say?" ”
The emperor smiled faintly, got up and gave her his place, "It makes sense, you can write it here." ”
There were seven and a half boys around the imperial case, the emperor stood next to Su Youyi, and Su Youyi sat on the emperor's chair.
Several children looked at her with their mouths wide open, only to see her take out a handkerchief from her sleeve and cover her eyes, and even the emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Sometimes the light is too dim, and the writing will be messy, so how can I write if I can't see it at all?
Without waiting for him to speculate, Su Youyi freely lifted the fine thread dipped in ink, and wrote a fly's head on the rice paper, and each word was connected as neatly as a frog giving birth to a row of tadpoles.
"Wow!"
There was an immature voice that let out an unconscious exclamation, and the eldest prince looked impatiently upside down, walked to Su Youyi's side and looked at the small characters she wrote, in addition to every line being neat, every word was very orderly.
Her handwriting is different from that of ordinary boudoir women, how can some men and women argue, but a closer look can see that it comes from the hands of women, but in addition to the juanxiu of the boudoir, there are many elegant and free.
This is something that is difficult for ordinary women to do.
She wrote a whole poem of persuasion in one go, and finally uncovered the veil on her eyes with a dashing pen, and looked down quite proudly.
played well, I haven't practiced for a long time and I haven't had any hands at all.
The children were stunned, and then a series of slaps sounded, and even the second prince subconsciously clapped with everyone, and then slowly hesitated to stop.
Su Youyi's talent is indeed very good, but this can't hide the fact that she is a bad woman.
The eldest prince was particularly excited, carefully pulled the rice paper to himself, pouted and blew the ink dry, and then held it up for everyone to admire.
"Seeing or not seeing or not, this is a good word! Compared with the words of Concubine Zhao, can our words be called beautiful? Do you dare to say crooked things? ”
Obviously, Su Youyi judged the words of him and the second prince, but it turned out that he was the most anxious to defend Su Youyi, and the emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Su Youyi hurriedly said: "Actually, this is all a small skill of carving insects. In fact, the princes and princes don't have to care too much about the handwriting, as long as it is upright and clear, and the writing is so beautiful and not sold on the street. The important thing is to learn the teachings of the saints and be a person who is beneficial to the country. ”
After that, she suddenly found that the emperor was looking at her, and secretly regretted it in her heart.
The emperor ordered them to practice calligraphy, because he hoped that they would practice their handwriting beautifully, right? But what is she saying here, no matter how well she writes, it is a small skill of carving insects, it is terrible......
The children looked at the emperor, and the emperor curled the corners of his mouth, "What the noble Zhao said is very true, do you all remember it?" ”
"Remember!"
The children dragged out the end and said in unison, Su Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of the pictures in the country school in the past, which seemed to overlap in her mind.
After the children went out to play, Su Youyi said apologetically: "Your Majesty, the words of the concubine are unintentional, that's what I said when I taught the children for my father in the countryside. I forgot for a while, and thought that this was a former country school. ”
The emperor didn't answer her words, but asked: "Then what you just said, is it your father's idea, or your own idea?" ”
Su Youyi said with a smile: "The emperor knows that the concubine has a good hand, so naturally it is not my father's idea." My father believed that words were like people, and that if a person wanted to gain the respect of others, he had to write beautifully, so that others would know that he was an upright person when they saw it. The concubine didn't think so, it was just the persistence of her father, a troubled country teacher. In fact, what Fang just said was the concubine's own thoughts, and she was often reprimanded by her father when she was young. ”
The old gentleman who teaches teaches the children to be diligent in practicing calligraphy all day long, but his own daughter often tells the children that it doesn't matter if they practice calligraphy, and it is strange not to make the old gentleman angry.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that picture, "Actually, you and your father's thoughts are not wrong, for your father, his decency as a scholar is the easiest to show from his handwriting." After all, talent learning is not something that can always be revealed, but handwriting can. As for what you just said to the princes, it is not unreasonable, no matter how good the words are, it is the icing on the cake after all, and talent and character are the things that determine their future. ”
"Does the emperor agree with my idea?"
The emperor shook his head, "Although I agree with your thoughts, I can't say it, so I can only not punish you." Sometimes, even if you are on the throne, you have the same persistence and hardship as your father. I need every local official who sees my reply to know that I am as domineering and calm as my words, so that they will be more subservient to me and dare not have different intentions. ”
