Chapter 23, Bond
"… Madam, Madam, please don't be impulsive and listen to what I have to say——"
Under the scorching sun, Yugui chased after Concubine Zhengui. No matter how she tried to persuade her, Concubine Zhengui still rushed towards Guanju Palace with great momentum.
"What are you afraid of? I am just going to learn and observe how powerful and brilliant this noble lady's methods are!"
Please!
In this harem, who doesn’t know that Jiang Mingyue is the most favored concubine?
As long as the emperor was in the harem, she had never failed if she wanted to seize his favor.
But unfortunately, she was defeated by Shen Qingtang twice in a row!
If you don’t know this, you might think that Concubine Zhengui has fallen out of favor!!!
Shen Qingtang, who had no idea that Concubine Zhengui was about to visit, was standing in front of the table, calmly copying calligraphy.
Under the careful guidance of Emperor Yu Ji, she finally evolved from a ball of dark ink into large crooked characters. Others could write eight to ten characters in large characters on a four-foot piece of rice paper, but she could barely squeeze in two characters.
In this regard, Emperor Yu Ji, who was a new teacher, wanted to wash his eyes.
"Master, look, have you made a lot of progress?"
Emperor Yuji glanced at the two words "joy" crowded on the rice paper, and was silent for a long time before taking a second look.
"If students all over the world knew that such fine writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone could be wasted like this, they would be so angry that they would drown the Jinshan Mountain."
Emperor Yu Ji's eyes hurt from watching this, but Shen Qingtang was filled with joy.
"Tang'er feels that being able to stand out from the Mo Group is already a rapid improvement." She excitedly raised her pretty face that was as beautiful as a delicate flower. Anyone could see the ostentatious look on her face.
God knows how difficult it is to write calligraphy. After writing a hundred or so big characters, her wrist was almost broken!
However, her so-called progress was like a rotten tree that could not be carved in the eyes of Emperor Yu Ji.
However, when he saw her eyes sparkling with excitement, a complex and inexplicable emotion flashed across Emperor Yu Ji's deep and unseen phoenix eyes.
...You're so excited and happy just because you 'learned to write' a few words?
Can people be satisfied so easily?
Shen Qingtang picked up the rice paper with the word "joy" written on it, admired it with satisfaction, and then happily flew into the arms of Emperor Yu Ji.
"If it weren't for Master's careful instruction, Tang'er wouldn't be able to write decent calligraphy so quickly. As a souvenir, Tang'er wants to frame it and give it to you. I'm sure you won't refuse, right?"
It was rare for Emperor Yuji to take the initiative to push her away, "I refuse!"
Such ugly handwriting is not befitting of my status as the Supreme Emperor!
Although Shen Qingtang felt disappointed after being rejected, he was reluctant to destroy it.
"You taught Tang'er to write, and Tang'er wrote it out. If you round it up, it means we wrote it together as master and apprentice. If you don't want Tang'er to frame it, hang it here as a souvenir."
"I--"
Emperor Yu Ji wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Quan who came in from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."
As soon as Jiang Quan finished speaking, the woman's cold and arrogant voice rang out outside.
"Your Majesty, I miss you so much. Can I see you now to ease my longing?"
Concubine Zhengui's voice was not as gentle and graceful as that of an ordinary woman, but it was as cold as frost and could freeze one's heart.
To Shen Qingtang, such sad and lingering words were spoken in such a cold and arrogant voice, which was really a bit disjointed.
Not only her, but also Emperor Yuji felt puzzled.
Emperor Yuji said helplessly: "It's very hot outside. Now that you are here, come in."
Hearing his voice, Shen Qingtang, whose attention had been taken away, had a momentary change in his eyes.
It turns out that the weight of a favored concubine is different.
Look at the familiar and relaxed tone, which is different from the way he teases her and behaves like a pet.
With the Emperor's permission, Concubine Zhengui immediately appeared in the study room with Yugui and Relang in her arms, taking two steps at a time.
When a concubine of lower rank meets a concubine of higher rank, she needs to bow and greet them.
As soon as she appeared, Shen Qingtang knelt down and saluted. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Get up!"
Emperor Yuji was there, so Concubine Zhengui did not make things difficult for her this time.
She walked past Shen Qingtang and came to the desk, took the words Shen Qingtang had written, and no one noticed that her hand, which could wield a spear so majestically, actually trembled slightly on the rice paper that was as light as a feather.
Don’t tell me, this is words!
Even if I ask a dog to write it, it will be better than what Lady Shu writes!
If she had known this, she would not have come!
The expression on Concubine Zhengui's face is hard to describe.
"Lady Shu, is this your name?"
Shen Qingtang's eyebrows curved, "My handwriting has improved a lot under the careful guidance of the emperor."
Shen Qingtang was very proud of his progress!
The person who taught her how to write was the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the country. How could she not be proud?
Not to mention Concubine Zhengui, even Emperor Yuji changed his expression.
You write so badly, yet you dare to say that I taught you. How shameful!
Emperor Yuji coughed and said, "From unrecognizable ink blobs to clear handwriting now, Tang'er has indeed made great progress!"
This compliment made Shen Qingtang smile from ear to ear.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I will write better in the future."
At this moment, Shen Qingtang is even more naive than a silly white sweet girl.
Concubine Zhengui glanced at him, and although her voice was cold, her tone was somewhat sarcastic.
"Your Majesty, you know that I have always loved to wield spears and sticks, and have never been very proficient in writing. I wonder when Your Majesty can give me some guidance?"
After saying this, Concubine Zhengui added something more meaningful under Emperor Yuji’s deep gaze.
"I also want to make some progress. I hope Your Majesty will support me and make progress."
Now not only Emperor Yu Ji, but also Shen Qingtang felt helpless.
Could it be that the Imperial Concubine wanted to replicate her method of training?
She wanted to use the "teacher-student" relationship to deepen the bond between herself and Emperor Yu Ji, in addition to love, so that she could be deeply rooted in people's hearts and be invincible in this emotional game!
……
Emperor Yuji is gone.
But Concubine Zhengui stayed in Fanghua Palace.
Shen Qingtang was writing and she was reading.
As the pen tip moved, she watched as the white rice paper was filled with large, twisted characters.
After she finished writing one, she was about to write another one when someone unexpectedly snatched the brush from her hand.
Shen Qingtang looked at Concubine Zhengui blankly, as if she didn't understand why Concubine Zhengui took her pen away. Wasn't her writing good?
Concubine Zhengui threw the pen back on the pen holder and frowned, "When Concubine Shu was waiting to be married, didn't the Shen family hire a teacher for you?"
"It's all my fault that I love to play. When I was practicing calligraphy, my wrist hurt, so I was often lazy and didn't practice calligraphy diligently. Now..." Shen Qingtang hid her wrist behind her back in embarrassment, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty."
The original owner could naturally write, and although his handwriting was quite standard, it was still neat and tidy.
however--
Shen Qingtang touched the wrist behind his back, his dark eyes filled with determination.
"Don't worry, Madam. One day I will write every word well and will never bring disgrace upon the Emperor."
