The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 63, Chasing Wife in the Crematorium

In autumn, the air is refreshing.

*
"This is the calligraphy that Tang'er has been copying recently. Take a look. Have you made any progress?"

In the study, the cool autumn breeze blows through the window, carrying with it the rich fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard.

Shen Qingtang held his chin with both hands, and his bright eyes, which seemed filled with stars, looked at Emperor Yu Ji with full expectation.

"Tang'er feels that he has made rapid progress compared to the past. Hehehe~ Master~ Don't you want to praise Tang'er?"

In front of the desk, as Shen Qingtang chirped cheerfully like a bird, Emperor Yu Ji was carefully checking the calligraphy she had copied, turning one sheet after another between his slender fingers. Only after he had finished reading them all did he look up at her.

The girl's expression of begging for praise almost made him lose the sternness on his face.

"What, what happened? Could it be..." Under such a gaze, Shen Qingtang felt a little uneasy, "Is it really that bad?"

Oh my God!
In just two or three months, she transformed her shabby handwriting into a neat and tidy one. God knows she worked hard. Now...

Students have a natural fear of their teachers.

What's more, her teacher is the emperor Yu Ji, the ruler of a country.

Under his increasingly sharp gaze, Shen Qingtang no longer dared to lie lazily on the table. After adjusting his sitting posture, his whole body tensed up.

“You think you write well?”

Emperor Yu Ji pointed his finger at the copybook on the table. His sharp eyes like an eagle made Shen Qingtang dare not even breathe.

"…No, no?"

Shen Qingtang lowered his head slightly, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his eyes, and his onion-like fingers twisted the corners of his clothes unconsciously, like a child who had done something wrong.

Her bewilderment made Emperor Yu Ji curl his lips almost imperceptibly.

It's not easy to be my student.

Emperor Yu Ji thought to himself, and the force of his fingers tapping the copybook increased by three points. At the moment when Shen Qingtang's shoulder trembled, his deep phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"Compared to the past, your handwriting now has some strokes and the characters are neat, but it lacks any charm."

As he said this, he shook his head solemnly at Shen Qingtang's ashamed look.

"The ancients said that a person's handwriting reflects his personality. Only when there is spirit and vitality contained in it can it be called a masterpiece. Your handwriting is like a body without a soul, with only a beautiful appearance."

Following Emperor Yu Ji's comments, Shen Qingtang stubbornly blinked away the tears in her eyes, with a hint of grievance and confusion in her eyes.

"Master, how can I make Tang'er's calligraphy more charming?" Shen Qingtang bit her lips lightly, choking and said, "Tang'er has clearly been copying very hard, but I don't know why..."

As she spoke, Shen Qingtang could no longer control the tears that she had been holding back and shed two lines of tears.

"Is Tang'er really a rotten tree that cannot be carved?"

Emperor Yu Ji, who couldn't bear to see her cry, relaxed a little on his face when he saw how pitiful she was.

He stretched out his long arms and held Shen Qingtang on his lap. While pressing her into his arms, he explained to her earnestly.

“The charm of calligraphy cannot be cultivated by simply copying. It requires you to feel it with your heart and put your own emotions and thoughts into every stroke.”

Although Shen Qingtang didn't quite understand what he said, she still burst into laughter at his comforting voice.

"So that's how it is. Since Tang'er is not a useless person, then Tang'er will work hard to practice the charm that you, Master, have mentioned. Then I will definitely impress you!"

If she was a rotten wood, then Emperor Yu Ji, who was able to carve the rotten wood into a beautiful jade, would surely be very proud, right?

With feelings that transcend men and women, the bond between them will certainly be more unbreakable.

The harvesting process is wonderful, just like she is patiently waiting for the fruits after harvesting, which are delicious and rare.

……

When Shen Qingtang was lost in thought, Emperor Yu Ji saw her face full of contemplation and thought she was thinking about the spirit of the words. He was impressed by the diligence and eagerness to learn of his only disciple and could not help but be infected by her love of learning.

He touched the little girl's soft long hair, and his low voice with a hint of smile gave Shen Qingtang a great surprise.

"Although your calligraphy has not yet reached my standards, I can give you a reward in consideration of your diligence. What do you want?"

Speaking of rewards, Emperor Yu Ji couldn't help but pause in his fingertips.

If he remembered correctly, when he granted her special favor, his concubine Shu was about to leave the palace...

What does she want this time?

Just as Emperor Yu Ji was thinking about this, Shen Qingtang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is anything okay?"

"What do you think?" Emperor Yuji raised his eyebrows for a moment, "As long as it's not excessive, I can consider it."

Shen Qingtang's eyes widened slightly. Even requests that were not excessive had to be considered?

You are the emperor, do you want to listen to what you are saying? !

It's really embarrassing!

Although the crickets were chirping in his heart, Shen Qingtang raised his head slightly, and his eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the sky, were shining with a light of incomparable longing and expectation.

"Today is the eighth day of the eighth month, and in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tang'er has been in this palace for so long that she almost forgot how lively the world outside the palace is. Your Majesty, can you take Tang'er out of the palace to recall the prosperity and bustle outside?"

Hearing Shen Qingtang's words, Emperor Yu Ji's phoenix eyes couldn't help but flash slightly.

As he expected, his noble lady Shu has not changed her mind and still wants to leave the palace.

but--

Emperor Yuji's expression changed slightly, and he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't you know, my beloved concubine? Concubines in the harem cannot leave the palace without reason. This is the law of our ancestors. Although I am the emperor, I cannot violate it easily."

Although Shen Qingtang had been mentally prepared, when she heard Emperor Yu Ji say this, the light in her eyes dimmed a little.

"It was Tang'er who overstepped the boundaries."

Shen Qingtang bit her lower lip lightly, buried her head in Emperor Yu Ji's arms, and said no more.

He gave her hope, and also gave her despair. This Emperor Yu Ji is a real dog!

Concubines in the harem are not allowed to leave the palace without reason?

Thinking about what I saw and heard when I left my soul that day, it was obvious that Emperor Yuji often went out of the palace with Concubine Zhengui to go to the secret camp in private. How did it come to her...

Playing with her?!

Humph~ Stinky man, you'd better not give her a chance, otherwise she will make him know what it means to chase your wife to the crematorium!
Emperor Yu Ji had no idea what Shen Qingtang was thinking, but when he saw her lonely and disappointed expression when she remained silent, he felt a little bit reluctant.

But he——

Emperor Yu Ji was thinking about something when Jiang Quan's frightened voice suddenly came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Ginkgo, who is beside the Empress, has come to report that the Second Princess suddenly fell from the rockery and is now in a coma. The Empress asks you to go to Kunning Palace..."
