He heard her unthinking thoughts: Who wants to be your concubine?! I want freedom! I don't want to share my husband with others! Let go! Let me go! But Su Bei didn't show it on her face, and said with a serious look: "I am of humble origin, how can I be worthy of the prince?"
Mind reading is a double-edged sword. It allows him to see people clearly, but it also allows him to hear hurtful words.
Chu Younan straightened his expression, let go, and said calmly, "Translate the book."
"Yes!" Su Bei agreed, sat down quickly, and picked up the medical book to read seriously.
She felt calm and was not moved at all by the position of concubine, which made Chu Younan look at her with admiration but also feel frustrated.
This woman is poisonous!
The more she acted like this, the more Chu Younan wanted her to surrender.
After the medical book was translated, Chu Younan did not immediately order someone to bring it to King Jin. Instead, he handed the book to Guizi and told him, "Copy it!"
Guizi looked at the thick stack of papers, the corners of his mouth twitched, and just as he was about to respond, he heard Chu Younan order again: "Give it to me tomorrow morning!"
"Your Highness! If you copy such a large pile of documents in one night, I'm afraid your hands will break!" Guizi begged, "Besides, Prince Jin is still waiting outside."
"Waiting?" Chu Younan's eyes flashed, "Then let Prince Jin copy it. Since he wants to give it to someone, he should hand-copy it to show his sincerity!"
Guizi went out with the book in his hands, looking gloating.
Thinking of Prince Jin staring at him with those big eyes while copying books all night long, Chu Younan felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart. The corners of his lips curled up, and a brilliant idea came to his mind.
"Abei, you often serve by my side, so you cannot be illiterate. I will teach you a few words today." As he said that, he walked to the desk.
Su Bei was excited. She was not a woman who never left her house. Learning to read was a must! She started with her own name...
"Come! Let's learn these three words today!" Chu Younan had already written them neatly in regular script on the paper.
Su Bei looked at the words on the paper, wondering, "What is this..."
"Come, follow me, Chu-You-Nan!" Chu You-Nan had a blank expression on his face.
Su Bei thought to herself: I want to learn from Su Bei, who wants to write your name? ! But she blinked her almond eyes and said in fear: "How can I read the name of the prince casually!"
"If the king asks you to learn, then you should learn. Otherwise one day you will not even know your master's name and be laughed at by others!" Chu Younan said seriously.
"Three words are too many and it's too late today. How about we learn one first?" Su Bei asked tentatively.
"No!" Chu Younan looked serious, but very happy in his heart. He was just waiting to see Su Bei holding the pen and writing his name seriously, or she didn't want to learn and came to massage his shoulders again.
Just thinking about it makes me feel good! Unexpectedly, Su Bei gritted his teeth, picked up the pen, and drew a few strokes on the paper like painting. Then he looked at the black paper and said, "Your Majesty, these three words are too difficult. How about we start from east, south, west and north?"
She only thought that there was a north in the four directions, but Chu Younan immediately realized that the second word among the four directions was south!
He secretly raised the corner of his lip.
This time Su Bei was obedient and picked up the pen to write seriously.
She had never learned soft brush calligraphy, so the words she wrote were so ugly. Chu Younan frowned and looked at the crooked thing without saying anything.
Su Bei curled his lips and said with self-loathing: "This handwriting is too ugly!"
Chu Younan still didn't say anything.
Su Bei thought to himself: Let me learn how to write first, and then practice calligraphy slowly later!
So she picked up her pen and began to write Nan.
But a big hand suddenly came around from behind her and held her hand, and then his voice came from above her head, faintly, accompanied by a smell of... mosquito repellent.
"Use force with your fingers, keep your wrists in the air, and keep your palms as empty as if you were holding an egg."
They were too close, Su Bei felt his back go numb, his whole body tensed up unconsciously, and his hands became stiff as iron.
Chu Younan held her hand, dipped it in ink, and stroked on the paper. A neat word "Nan" appeared on the paper.
Then, he said with satisfaction: "This Nan is well written. Let's practice this character a hundred times tonight."
"Huh? A hundred times?" Su Bei exclaimed.
"Well, you practice first." Chu Younan walked to the table, leisurely picked up the tea bowl, and slowly covered it with the tea lid.
Su Bei complained bitterly, but he had no choice but to practice by himself with a pen.
How can it not look good when you hold my hand and write? I want to learn north! north! north north! Why do I have to write south?! Who wants to write your name?! So many strokes!
After she wrote two random words, she was suddenly hit on the head by a ball of paper. Chu Younan held the tea bowl and said calmly, "Write well! Otherwise, I'll have to write it a hundred times!"
"Your Majesty!" Su Bei said with a bitter face, "Can we write it tomorrow? It's so late today, you should go to bed, because you have to get up early tomorrow to go to the military camp!"
Chu Younan glanced at her calmly and said, "You'll have a day off tomorrow."
"Uh... your health is important, you can't stay up late, it will affect your health..."
Bang! Another ball of paper flew over and hit her right between the eyebrows.
“Write now!”
Su Bei rubbed his eyebrows, pouted and lowered his eyes, cursing him a hundred times in his heart.
Chu Younan raised the corners of his lips slightly. Seeing her aggrieved look, why did he feel so happy? After writing a hundred characters, the character "Nan" in Su Bei did have some meaning.
"Hmm! It looks like something a three-year-old child wrote." Chu Younan looked at the densely packed words on the paper and nodded slightly.
Su Bei: Are you praising me? Thank you! Thank you to your whole family! Others can write one, two, three, mouth, hand, but you asked me to write such complicated characters and compared me to a three-year-old. It's really bullying!
Chu Younan walked nonchalantly to the middle of the floor and opened his hands, "Okay, change your clothes, and learn something else tomorrow."
Su Bei was changing her clothes while muttering to herself. Suddenly, she found that she was still tricked by him. She wanted to learn how to write her own name first, but in the end she still learned his Nan!
Chu Younan: How come it’s so cool to trick a little girl?! They each got a bed. Not long after, the little girl fell asleep angrily. In her dream, she kept muttering: I want to write the two words Su Bei! Su Bei Su Bei Su Bei! Do you understand?! When I become a big boss in the future, I will have to sign the documents!
This time, Chu Younan did not hide it. The corners of his lips curved like a crescent moon. He quietly stood up, carefully rolled up the crooked paper with the writing on it, then quietly walked into the secret room and placed the words on the shelf.
This was the first time Su Bei wrote his name.
The next morning, Su Bei ate at the same table with Chu Younan as usual. Guizi stood aside and yawned quietly with his hand covering his mouth.
Chu Younan glanced at him calmly and asked, "Where is Prince Jin?"
"Reply to Your Majesty!" Guizi said hurriedly, "Prince Jin is still copying books."
"He copied all night?" Su Bei exclaimed.
"Yes! He said that there are still... ha... a few pages left..." Guizi couldn't help but yawn.
Su Bei suddenly felt balanced. It turned out that there were people who were even more miserable than her. Hahahaha!
Thinking of how Prince Jin had worked hard all night, Chu Younan couldn't help but feel much better. Chu Youyang, let you take Ah Bei out for a stroll, hahahaha! The two of them were both filled with joy, and they all curled their lips. Just after finishing their meal, they heard Prince Jin say weakly, "I'm starving..."
