Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Qi Buchen has no time to care...

Qi Buchen didn't have time to care whether Yinzhen was in a bad mood or not.

The third day after Yinzhen fell ill was the Kitchen God Worship Day on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. This was an important ceremony not only in ordinary people's homes, but also in the royal family. Its importance could be seen from the fact that the place of worship was Kunning Palace.

The Kitchen God worship ceremony in Kunning Palace was supposed to be presided over by the emperor and empress, but now that the position of empress was vacant, Kangxi instructed the imperial concubine to work with the four concubines to organize it, and all the concubines with the rank of concubine and above in the palace participated.

Of course, the daughter-in-law Qi Buchen was not immune to this. She was even assigned the task of preparing sugar for the kitchen, and the eldest wife was also assigned to prepare incense and candles.

In short, everyone involved was assigned a task. Qi Buchen had to give a thumbs up to Concubine Wenxi, who died young in history. She did not monopolize power, distributed benefits equally, and allowed everyone to show up. She really grasped the essence of management.

Things like sacrifices, in fact, participating in it means having face, but the actual process is very tedious and tiring, and there is no room for mistakes.

In the cold winter, Qi Buchen followed a group of ladies in bowing and kneeling in the main hall of Kunning Palace. When they finished and returned, Qi Buchen didn't want to move even a finger. He just wanted to crawl into the warm bed and have a good sleep.

Yinzhen was ill and could only stay in the house. He was worried that Qi Buchen might make a mistake due to her nervousness during her first time attending such a ceremony, so he waited anxiously for her to return. However, when he saw her exhausted face, almost like she was being carried back by Baozhu, he was speechless and could only urge her to go and rest.

Qi Buchen had a good sleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn, but Yinzhen was still waiting for her to have breakfast.

"Someone should call me." Qi Buchen felt a little embarrassed. She was not used to making others wait for her. Even if she didn't want to, she would feel guilty.

"It's okay." Yinzhen looked much better, his energy and spirit lifted, no longer the limp look he had when the fever just subsided. "I'm not very hungry either."

After dinner, Qi Buchen went to copy books. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and she had to finish copying before the New Year.

Yinzhen was now bored recuperating from his illness, and when he heard that Qi Buchen was going to the study, he wanted to go with him. Qi Buchen thought it was really pitiful that he had been confined to the small main room for the past few days, so he agreed.

But she soon regretted it.

Copying books is a very tiring task, because the punishment given by the superior is that there must be no mistakes and the pages must be neat. Therefore, when Qi Buchen copied books, he was completely focused and attentive, for fear of making a mistake in writing a word or accidentally dropping an ink spot, which would require rewriting the page.

Unfortunately, she happened to have the chatterbox and know-it-all Fourth Prince by her side.

"This is not right. You should press down first and then lift the hook."

"This is a lot of money."

"This horizontal stroke should be done a little more gently at the end."

Qi Buchen's hand trembled and he ruined the stroke.

Yinzhen frowned at the side: "The control of wrist strength is too poor, it seems that I need to practice hanging wrist."

Qi Buchen took a deep breath, gathered his strength, exhaled, and endured.

I can't help it.

This is already the third one she has to rewrite!

The reason for the rewrite was that Yinzhen would always speak up suddenly, and the content was always about the shortcomings of her writing.

If this was just practicing tracing, Qi Buchen would have humbly accepted it and practiced and corrected it over and over again. But now she was completing the punishment of copying books! She had to catch up! As long as the characters were correct, it was fine! Why did it have to be so beautiful? Did she really think that Concubine De would take her copy and appreciate the quality of her handwriting?!

Qi Buchen really wanted to roar loudly, but considering his own personality, he had to endure it.

She gestured to Songying, who was serving beside her, to take away the used paper and replace it with fresh paper. She turned her head and smiled at Yinzhen, who was standing beside the table. Her smile was so bright and dazzling that it was dazzling. "Master, I see that you seem to be feeling much better. Why don't you go to the study and finish the homework you have missed in the past few days? You can go back to the study and attend classes tomorrow."

I was thinking of letting you take some more rest and recuperate, but now, haha, what's the point of taking a rest? You're so energetic, you should just study hard!

For a moment, Yinzhen was dazzled by Fu Jin's smile, but then he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Looking at Fu Jin's smile again, why did it seem a little scary?

Random thoughts! Fu Jin's smile is obviously very cute.

Yinzhen suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and smiled involuntarily. "No need. I finished the homework that the Grand Tutor left me yesterday. As for going to the study tomorrow, that's fine. My health has indeed improved a lot."

Finished it yesterday? When was it written? How come I don't know? Qi Buchen subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but she was anxious to get Yinzhen out of here, so she blurted out another excuse: "The homework is finished, don't you still need to read some more books? After all, you've been delayed for so many days, I'm afraid the tutor has said a lot."

Yinzhen sensed something was wrong: "Didn't Fu Jin forbid me to read more books a few days ago? Why is it that today..."

Why did he have the illusion that Fu Jin wanted to drive him away?

Qi Buchen hadn't expected him to be so perceptive, so he quickly said, "Didn't Doctor Qi say you were almost recovered?" Then he suddenly remembered what he had thought was wrong and realized, "Besides, would it be any use for me to forbid you to read more? Didn't you finish your homework yesterday without telling me?"

A look of resentment on his face.

Yinzhen finally realized he had been exposed. His eyes darted around and he said awkwardly, "I asked the imperial physician yesterday, and he said it was fine."

Perhaps he felt too guilty about this, so he straightened up again and looked at Qi Buchen pretending to be calm: "I know my health well, you are too cautious."

Qi Buchen pouted slightly, lowered his head, and looked sad and lost.

Yinzhen immediately regretted his harsh words and could only say, "Well, of course, I know you are doing this for my own health."

But after he finished speaking, Qi Buchen said nothing. He just lowered his head, picked up the pen, and began to copy the book silently.

Her appearance made Yinzhen feel a little flustered. He wanted to say something but didn't know how. He saw Songying waiting on the side and frowned as he ordered, "Go tell Su Peisheng to bring the master's book over."

Songying subconsciously glanced at Qi Buchen, and seeing that she didn't react, he could only mutter to himself and go out.

Yinzhen got off the couch, walked to Qi Buchen in a pretentious manner, and coughed.

Qi Buchen didn't respond.

He turned to the other side and coughed again.

Still no response.

Yinzhen went to look at Qi Buchen's hand movements and saw her writing the last horizontal stroke of the character 'jian'. He subconsciously muttered, "Didn't I just tell you to give it a little extra touch at the end of this stroke?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Buchen slammed the brush on the table with a "pa" sound, and ink spots flew all over the paper, and some spots even splashed on the two of them.

Qi Buchen stood up suddenly, said sullenly, "I won't write anymore!" and walked away.

Yinzhen was stunned by her sudden action until Songying came back from delivering the message: "Master, where is Fu Jin?"

When Yinzhen came to his senses, his first reaction was: No one has ever dared to lose his temper like this in front of me!

Except the Emperor.

"Hey, what happened?" Song Ying walked in and found the mess on the table.

What's wrong? Your master dared to lose his temper with me!

Yinzhen laughed in his heart: "Your master didn't hold the pen firmly, so he went back to the room to change clothes."

Songying looked at the marks on the table suspiciously. Could it have fallen like this because he didn't hold it firmly?

"Master, it seems you've been splashed too. I'll go get Eunuch Su."

"wait......"

Before Yinzhen could finish his words, Songying disappeared in a flash.

Is he a rabbit like your master? He runs so fast!

Not even a chance to ask questions!

Aren't you a coward? Aren't you scared? I didn't notice it when you dropped the pen. Humph, you've been spoiled!

I just said that, what’s the big deal?

......

Are you really angry?

The author has something to say:
