The concubine is so charming

Chapter 36

In Lancuixuan, Su Yao and Mu Zhaoyu discussed softly about presenting gifts at the annual banquet.

On the other side, Mu Zhenzhen was so angry that she dropped the teacup: "Mu Zhaoyu, what a Mu Zhaoyu, she is really a dog that can bite people, don't bark, she usually looks at her silently, now How dare you trip me up!"

She had secretly put down her words to prevent people from attending Su Yao's banquet, and even specially called people over to drink tea together, waiting to see Su Yao's jokes, but she didn't expect Mu Zhaoyu to ignore her words at all, which made her feel as if A slap was slapped on the face, it was hot and ugly.

The other young ladies with slightly lower backgrounds did not dare to make a sound. After waiting for a while, Mu Wanqing could only persuade: "Princess Mingzhu, don't be angry, she is just a Mu Zhaoyu. You also know her temperament. Li is quiet, she does things in a different way, she never fits in with others, who knows what she thinks in her heart? Just let these two people get together, anyway, there will be no disturbances."

Mu Zhenzhen snorted coldly, but gradually restrained the anger on her face.

Mu Wanqing went on to say: "I heard that the princess wants to present a gift to the emperor at the annual banquet. I wonder how the preparations are going now?"

Thinking of the New Year's banquet in the palace, where she could show off her talent in the main hall and let Gu Yuanyou see her brilliance, Mu Zhenzhen's mood immediately improved a lot: "The preparations are almost done now, and there is still a lot to do in these days." Practice more, the New Year's banquet in the palace, but you can't make a mistake."

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Then I wish the Princess a great show and a blockbuster success."

After negotiating to present a gift to the emperor at the New Year's Banquet in the palace, Su Yao and Mu Zhaoyu got busy.

Mu Qingchen's health has improved a bit, but she still has a little cough, and her figure is getting thinner and thinner.

In the Tai Academy, because his illiteracy was spread, it caused a lot of jokes in the palace, and even some servants made sarcastic remarks to him, which made the resentment in his heart increase day by day.

He held the writing brush tightly in his hand, with enough force to break the pen holder, and stared fiercely at the ink marks falling on the white paper, as if staring at the enemy of life and death.

When Su Yao walked in, what he saw was such a picture, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "What is the second brother doing? This white paper also offended you?"

Mu Qingchen threw the brush aside, grabbed the white paper in front of her, crumpled it up, and threw it on the ground.

Su Yao signaled Yufu to guard the door, walked over slowly, bent down and picked up the paper ball.

Embarrassed, Mu Qingchen's tone became more rigid: "Didn't you say you want to teach me how to write? Liar!"

"I've been delayed by something these two days. Why don't you come here as soon as you have time? Why are you so angry at such a young age?" Su Yao opened the paper ball, saw the writing on it, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha , catching an earthworm and crawling on paper is better than your writing!"

Mu Qingchen glared at Su Yao, and her breathing was a little short, causing him to cough twice: "Ahem... I want you to take care of it!"

His tone was still fierce, but without the previous resistance and hatred, it was more of an indescribable awkwardness.He could feel that there was no sarcasm in Su Yao's laughter, he just wanted to tease himself.

"Okay, I just started writing big characters. It would be nice to be able to write big characters horizontally and vertically. I never thought that you could become a genius overnight." Su Yao walked up to Mu Qingchen and took the brush as he spoke. After embellishing the pen, hand it over to Mu Qingchen, "Write two words properly and let me see."

Mu Qingchen's finger holding the pen couldn't help exerting force, her fingertips turned slightly white: "Anyway, I can't write well..."

Su Yao's complexion darkened: "Don't say this again, I will be unhappy when I hear it, and if I am unhappy, I want to deal with people." She had high hopes for Mu Qingchen in front of her, so naturally she would not allow him to give up on himself.

After Su Yao finished speaking, she raised her hand to correct Mu Qingchen's pen-holding posture, then squeezed his hand, and left the four big characters of heaven rewarding diligence on the paper with a little force.

Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, coupled with her childhood experience, she has left some shadows psychologically. The psychologist in charge of taking care of her asked her to practice calligraphy and meditate, and persisted intermittently for more than six years. Later, when she was filming, she made this skill public, which helped her attract many fans.

Mu Qingchen's back was straight, her body was as stiff as a rock, all her attention was focused on Su Yao's hand, her originally pale face was now flushed, and her always fierce eyes looked dewy moist.

After Su Yao finished writing, he measured the big characters on the paper, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, God rewards hard work, do you know the meaning of these four words?"

"No... I don't know." Mu Qingchen looked a little dazed, Su Yao's fingers had already moved away, and the place she touched was scalding hot as if it was on fire.

"It means that if you are stupid, you have to work harder. There will be no rice in the sky."

Mu Qingchen didn't contradict anything abnormally, took the brush, and tried to copy the words written by Su Yao little by little.

Su Yao is good at Xingkai, and her handwriting is not as regular and beautiful as ordinary girls in the boudoir. On the contrary, she reveals a kind of strong character, but now that her wrist strength is weak, her handwriting is not so beautiful, but her momentum is still there. can see.

Mu Qingchen looked at the limp ball he had written, and felt that it was just like what Su Yao said, earthworms crawled better than him.

"This can't be practiced overnight. You started late, and it is absolutely impossible to become fat in one bite. Now you just need to be able to write neatly and make people recognize what characters are. Use what you have learned during this time. Bring the things here, and I'll smooth them out for you to see if I can help you answer some things you don't understand."

Su Yao has been exposed to ancient Chinese, but after all, he is a modern person and is not proficient, so he can only give a rough idea, but these things are enough for Mu Qingchen to learn for a while.What's more, she didn't intend to train Mu Qingchen to be a scholar. What she wanted was for him to understand the way of governing the world. As long as he could stand on his own, after he became powerful, some scholars would work hard to pave the way for him.

Listening to Su Yao explaining the words in the Analects, Mu Qingchen suddenly asked, "Why do you need to study? Is reading really useful now?"

"Reading?" Su Yao slightly lowered his eyes, reading is indeed a way out, whether in ancient times or modern times, reading, imperial examinations, and becoming an official have provided many people with the opportunity to rise to the top, but reading is not the only way out , Some people spend their entire lives studying books and learning all their lives, but they can’t figure out why, “Reading is a means you have to use, not an end you want to achieve.”

"means?"

"That's right..." Su Yao suddenly paused as she spoke, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, she thought of a way to steal the Rong Palace!
