Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Did she say something wrong?
After spending time with a little kid, I have to face another big devil.
Some people were born in Rome, while others traveled through time and space and became cattle and horses. [1]
After being pushed into the East Warm Room, Li Shuyao felt that her legs suddenly lost their strength and she had to hold on to the door frame to barely stand up.
I feel like crying but I can't. Why is Aunt Lin like this?
At this moment, a man's deep and rich voice suddenly came from the East Warm Pavilion: "Are you here?"
Well, come and die.
Li Shuyao responded in her heart while crying.
Then I was a little surprised to find that the person inside had a normal voice and a stable mood. It seemed that he was not that angry.
Maybe Nanny Lin misunderstood the Emperor's intention?
Or maybe...
Li Shuyao quickly put away her fantasy and didn't dare to take the credit for the improved mood of the people inside.
That's a bit too narcissistic.
But even so, his legs, which had been as soft as noodles, slowly regained some strength, and his fingertips were not trembling as violently as before.
Li Shuyao took a deep breath, and then silently shouted "Come on" in her heart.
He loosened his grip on the door frame and walked inside resolutely.
His back figure is so majestic as if he is going to the battlefield.
In the inner room of the east warm room, a tall man was sitting behind a desk with a gloomy expression and eyes as sharp as a hawk. When he heard Li Shuyao coming in, he raised his head from behind the layers of stacked papers, and his stern face quickly softened a little.
He stopped Li Shuyao from bowing, then raised his hand, pointed to the inner room and said to Li Shuyao, "I have some things to do. Please go inside and wait."
"Your favorite snacks and fruits are already prepared inside. Please play by yourself for a while and just keep quiet."
When Li Shuyao heard this, she immediately put aside all her fear and worries.
She said "yes" with a smile, and without asking what the emperor was doing, she happily walked towards the inner room. Halfway there, she seemed to remember something and quickly turned around. She pretended to be mature and steady and said to the man behind the desk with concern: "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Your Majesty should take good care of himself."
After saying that, without caring about the man's reaction behind the desk, she turned her head and impatiently walked around the screen, running eagerly towards her favorite snack.
emperor:"……"
He couldn't tell for a moment whether Li Shuyao's words came from her own conscience or were inspired by the instructions of the maids outside.
…
Judging from her speed, the emperor is more inclined to the latter.
*
Time always passes quickly at night.
Li Shuyao didn't know how long she had been waiting.
She first went to the couch and ate a few bites of snacks, then stood up and walked around the room twice, and took out a book from the bookshelf in the corner, which she didn't know whether it was a miscellany or a story book, spread it out and put it on the dining table, and took out the book as she did when preparing for the college entrance examination, eating and learning words at the same time.
There are some similarities in the shapes of ancient traditional Chinese characters and modern simplified Chinese characters. Even for some unfamiliar characters whose meanings are difficult to recognize, Li Shuyao can guess them roughly through the connection between the context.
As for the rest...
Li Shuyao thought about it, then ran back to the bookshelf, rummaged through it, and actually put together a set of four treasures of the study.
She copied the words she didn't recognize one by one onto a piece of white paper, intending to ask Qingyao for advice after returning from serving her in the bedroom.
Although this method of learning to read is a bit stupid, but... who didn't go through this as a child?
Li Shuyao remembers that when she was very young, there was a room in her home dedicated to storing her picture books and fairy tale books, which were colorful and of rich variety.
There are also various cards, such as one to ten, apples and bananas, dad and dad's dad, what uncle eats and Buddhist songs.
Later, when she went to kindergarten, the picture books her family bought for her began to have pinyin and words, and also began to have storytelling, such as "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "One Thousand and One Nights".
When she was older and in elementary school, her mother started showing her various composition books, the kind where the authors were all anonymous. This indirectly led to her consistently good grades in composition during elementary school...
This is mainly because other children, when writing about famous quotes, mostly use Edison and Leonardo da Vinci as examples, but she is different. She can write about Socrates and Aristotle.
In terms of word count, it only has one or two more words than others, and throughout the whole article, it can save dozens of words!
It also looked inexplicably impressive, and was even posted on the excellent essay bulletin board by the teacher for other children to see and learn from...
Ahem, I’ve gone off topic.
In short, on the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Li Shuyao simply made a study plan for herself.
It is divided into only two stages. The first stage is to recognize words, and the second stage is to write.
As for studying and knowing etiquette... She is not going to take the imperial examination, so what is the point of so much knowledge?
As long as you are not illiterate and are not looked down upon by others, that is enough.
Li Shuyao read the book and recorded and copied the words she didn't know. If she guessed the word based on the context in the following pages, she would cross it out with a brush. If she knew the word at the beginning but didn't remember it later, she would just go all out and copy it again.
But her handwriting is not good, it is crooked and not presentable to others.
After a few scribbles and writes, a piece of snow-white and clean rice paper was soon covered with ink spots and scratches of all sizes and depths.
...It doesn't look like he is learning calligraphy, but rather like he is venting his anger on the pen and ink.
As Li Shuyao wrote, she gradually realized that something was wrong and put down the brush with a dull expression.
When I stretched out my hands again, I found that the palms of both hands were wet, with traces of ink all over them.
She is so useless.
It seems like every time I write big characters, they turn out to be a mess.
But Tian Jiarou is not like that. Every time she finishes writing big characters, her sleeves, collar and palms are very clean.
Just as Li Shuyao fell into an unspeakable silence, the rice paper in front of her was suddenly pulled away.
Li Shuyao shuddered all over and quickly came to her senses. She found that it was the emperor outside who had finished all his government affairs and took a bath. He was wearing a thin bright yellow inner garment and was covered with a strong moisture. He stood behind her like a silent Buddha.
"Your Majesty."
Li Shuyao called out and stood up to salute.
However, just as her body leaned forward, a large hand pressed down hard on her shoulder, and she fell back down.
The man lowered his head and sat down beside her while checking the large characters.
The big hand hanging on her shoulder moved down little by little, his fingertips brushing across her back, stirring up waves of shivers and numbness, and finally grasped her waist accurately. With a little force, Li Shuyao fell completely into his arms.
Li Shuyao: "..."
She quickly held onto the man's broad shoulders and adjusted her sitting position, carefully ensuring that she would not press on any key parts. Then she turned her little head and looked at the rice paper in the emperor's hand. When she saw this, the redness climbed up to her cheeks again.
It's really ugly.
She couldn't believe that these words were written by her.
Li Shuyao simply turned her head back, and buried her head in the man's neck with a bit of embarrassment, smelling the scent of ambergris on his body, secretly thinking about how to get his attention back.
It doesn't matter if it's five or ten times, she would rather suffer physically than endure the mental blow.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, the emperor said nothing, but silently put the rice paper back on the table. His black eyes glanced at the half-remaining dessert on the white porcelain plate, and the intact fruit plate next to it.
With a raised eyebrow, she asked the delicate little maid in her arms with a somewhat teasing tone, "Don't you have an appetite today?"
Li Shuyao's mind was still on the ugly words on the rice paper. When she heard the emperor speak suddenly, she thought he was asking for censure. Without thinking, she pressed her hot cheek directly against the man's chest, rubbed it twice like a naughty child, and mumbled something in her mouth.
It was as if a fire was burning in my chest.
But she was still unaware, and her pair of soft and boneless arms held him even tighter.
Who cares about snacks or appetite at this time?
The string called reason in my mind suddenly broke.
The tall and strong man acted like a young boy who had just started having sex. He didn't even have time to carry the girl to the dragon bed. He eagerly hugged her with both hands and pushed her onto the couch. Ignoring the little palace maid's confused expression, he kissed her red and moist lips hard.
The kiss was so intense that the little palace maid couldn’t even whimper.
The only sound in the air was the occasional sticky sound of water.
Li Shuyao is very confused now.
From the time he came in to the time he pressed her down on the couch and kissed her, it probably took less than five minutes, and the car speed reached 180 km/h.
It was as if she had just written some pornographic book.
But it was clearly written in black and white... Wait, could there be something wrong with the book she used to learn to read?
Li Shuyao soon had no energy left to think about these things.
The man who was pressing on her and kissing her passionately seemed to realize that she was distracted. He frowned and bit her lips lightly with some displeasure, then moved down little by little, through her neck, over the peak, and to her flat belly. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but a happy chuckle suddenly came out of his lips.
He immediately lowered his head, and pressed his two hot lips tightly against Li Shuyao's slightly cool belly, stimulating her so much that her body trembled violently, and a clear and moist light quickly appeared in her apricot blossom eyes.
Then, it was a bizarre dream.
...Li Shuyao never knew that the body she traveled through was so flexible.
Good enough to confine her to that small space on the couch and do whatever he wants... do whatever he wants...
There is no physical discomfort yet.
There was no such excruciating pain as the first time when it was torn and stitched together.
"Your Majesty..."
She pleaded softly a few times during the process, mumbling "slow down", but the person behind her seemed not to understand Chinese and kept exploring and developing various new postures.
Li Shuyao gradually became numb.
In the end, I just closed my eyes and treated myself as a rag doll, letting him play with it!
*
Because I spent some time dealing with government affairs before going to bed.
This time, Li Shuyao did not serve the emperor in bed for long. She was pressed down on the couch and made love with him twice before being carried to the next room to wash and bathe.
It was a quarter of an hour later when I returned to the dragon bed.
Li Shuyao was so tired that she didn't want to move her fingers, and her eyelids felt like they were weighed down by a thousand-pound weight.
The man next to him seemed to be still unsatisfied, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He supported his head with one hand and poked Li Shuyao's tender cheek with the other.
It seemed like he still wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Shuyao before bed.
Li Shuyao: "..."
What can she do?
It is her destiny to sacrifice her life for a gentleman.
After sighing inwardly, she turned slightly to the side and asked in a low voice with a hint of laziness and hoarseness, "Is Your Majesty still not asleep?"
The emperor hummed, and continued to poke Li Shuyao's cheek with his fingers.
Li Shuyao pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks, and looked a little angry.
The emperor had no choice but to withdraw his fingers and asked her again, "I just saw you reading a book. Do you want to practice calligraphy?"
It was a rare opportunity for her to be so studious and motivated, and the emperor felt that he should encourage her.
Without waiting for Li Shuyao to speak, he continued chattering on, "If you want to learn calligraphy, that book isn't suitable for you. You should start with the Thousand Character Classic. After that, there are the Analects, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Rites... I'll have someone send you a few copies later."
When he mentioned this, Li Shuyao became interested.
She really didn't want to be considered illiterate anymore.
So she nodded with a somewhat excited expression, trying to make some other requests, "I also want the four treasures of the study. Can you send me more ink sticks and rice paper? My handwriting is still very ugly now, and I can't even control the pen, so the rice paper doesn't need to be too good. The same goes for the ink sticks... and the calligraphy copybook..."
She made a number of requests in a row, and after she finished, she saw that the person next to her did not speak for a long time, so she mistakenly thought that he disliked her for asking for too much.
She paused with some anxiety in her heart, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget it. It suddenly occurred to me that I can ask the Imperial Household Department for these things myself. It's better not to trouble the Emperor to worry about my affairs."
At this time, the emperor leaned over and hugged her, and the expression on Qingjun's face looked very gentle.
He first kissed Li Shuyao lightly on the lips, then asked her: "I'm not unwilling, I'm just curious, why did you suddenly want to make progress?"
Li Shuyao quickly clenched her fist and answered with great ambition, "Because I want to be a cultured person!"
But before this, she had never had this idea at all.
Probably because she was just a little palace maid, like a rootless duckweed in the Forbidden City, and she was also a cannon fodder... So when she first came here, all she could think about was how to stay away from the plot, stay away from the key characters in the book, find an empty corner, hide all the way until the end of the plot, and then see if she could go home.
But now it’s different. She has become a concubine in the harem and has entered the plot line.
It's like standing out from tens of thousands of interns in a large company and becoming a formal employee with a regular job, and a relatively high level one at that.
——She couldn't help but continue to be a lazy fish.
It’s also time to make career plans for the future.
So she had communicated a lot with Qingyao these days...
Ahem, although it was called communication, most of the time Qingyao was instilling in her important knowledge about "how to be a good concubine".
After listening to it over and over again, she concluded that the most important trick is to "cater to the other person's preferences."
Vote for the emperor's preferences.
For this reason, the concubines in the harem are extremely diverse. Some specialize in studying pornographic books... no, studying the pleasures of the boudoir, some are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, there are talented women, dancers, and even singers...
The flowers are in full bloom, each with its own beauty.
Li Shuyao thought about it and found that she seemed to have no strengths.
Actually, I can’t say no, it’s just…
She studied violin and guitar, which were not available in the Qing Dynasty.
Her major was English, which was divided into modern English and ancient English. Just like in modern English, "you" is "you", while in ancient English, "you" is "thou"... Moreover, ancient English was a course that was not learned until the sophomore year. She had just received the textbook at that time and had only time to flip through two pages when... she suddenly traveled through time.
As for university politics, she would never dare to discuss this with the emperor of the feudal dynasty.
What about Chinese and history? These are things that children in the Forbidden City have been learning since before they start learning enlightenment. How can she compare with them?
And it is easy to involve some aspects that are difficult to explain...
Math is not good, geography is not good... physics, chemistry and biology are even more bullshit.
Another very important reason is that she was wearing a novel about palace fighting in the Qing Dynasty, not real history.
Novels always have fictional and self-constructed parts, mixed with the author's own fantasies, and the plot line will automatically fill in some gaps in common sense.
This is also the reason why she has been trembling with fear and walking on thin ice since she came here.
So, after thinking about it for several days, Li Shuyao finally made up her mind.
Apart from being good at studying, she doesn't seem to have any other advantages, so why not... study hard?
——She can not only satisfy the emperor's desire to train and educate her, but also quickly integrate into and adapt to the feudal system here through learning.
This is the best solution Li Shuyao can come up with!
But after she finished speaking, the man beside her did not speak for a long time.
This couldn't help but make Li Shuyao feel a little uneasy.
Did she say something wrong?
