Chen Shuyi didn't know how long Qin Hao had finished reviewing memorials, but when he lifted the quilt and came in, she habitually crawled into his arms in a daze. The night was as cool as water, but the emperor's body was hot, and it was particularly comfortable to sleep in his arms.
The next day, after the morning court session, Qin Hao went to Yilan Palace as promised to teach Shen Shuyi calligraphy.
"Your Majesty." Shen Shuyi walked over quickly and hugged Qin Hao's arm, pouting like a spoiled child.
Qin Hao bent down slightly and kissed her on the cheek.
Seeing her smile, Qin Hao felt full of energy for the whole day. "Have you prepared your writing?"
"Yes." Chen Shuyi raised his chin towards the desk, on which was a stack of papers weighed down by a paperweight.
"I practiced two more before you came!"
Seeing her proud look, Qin Hao walked over and took a quick look. The large characters were childish, weak and crooked, as if written by a child.
But it can be seen that she wrote very seriously, and there is no trace of sloppiness in her strokes.
He patted Shen Shuyi's arm, "Go sit down, let me see how you use the pen."
"Yes, sir!" Shen Shuyi sat upright at the desk, picked up his pen, dipped it in ink and began to write.
[That day, the sky was clear, the air was fresh, and the breeze was gentle and pleasant. Looking up at the vastness of the universe...]
Qin Hao stood in front of the desk and saw her with her eyes drooping and her long eyelashes, looking particularly well-behaved and cute.
His eyes fell on her hands...
Qin Hao frowned slightly, and walked behind Shen Shuyi, "Empress Zhao, your pen-holding posture is wrong."
Shen Shuyi seemed to be startled. He turned around hurriedly and was about to get up, but was pressed down by the man's large palm.
Qin Hao walked forward, bent down behind her, covered the back of her hand with his warm palm, and taught her how to write, starting with how to hold a pen.
Then comes the basic order of writing horizontal, vertical, left-falling and right-falling strokes.
"For horizontal writing, the tip of the brush should start from the upper left and then move to the lower right..." Qin Hao's voice was low and mellow, and Shen Shuyi listened carefully, and he grabbed his hand and wrote it again.
"Try."
“Okay.” Shen Shuyi continued writing when he released his hand, and his handwriting became much better under his guidance.
Qin Hao picked up the "ancient books" she had copied and flipped through them. Most of them were ancient poems that he had never heard of, but every one of them was a masterpiece.
This Zhao Fei has a lot of secrets...
"If you want to write well, you need to practice hard."
Shen Shuyi nodded obediently, “Yes, sir.”
Qin Hao was stunned, then chuckled and stroked her head.
Shen Shuyi's real calligraphy is not that bad, not to mention that the original owner has been practicing calligraphy since childhood. She wrote crookedly today just because she wanted Qin Hao to spend more time with her, instead of being together just for that matter.
With only her physical fall, she couldn't raise her favorability above 60%. Only if she could become Qin Hao's trainee and taught person and be able to resonate with him spiritually could she be called a partner.
Even if he is an emperor, as he invests more and more time and energy in her, which is a sunk cost, he will cherish her more and even fall in love with her as a person.
"Your Majesty, please review the memorials on the side while I continue practicing."
Qin Hao did have some government affairs to deal with, so he sat aside and began to review memorials.
After an unknown amount of time, Concubine Zhao could no longer sit still. She picked up a piece of paper and held it behind her, pressing it tightly against his broad and strong back.
Shen Shuyi leaned over and hugged the emperor's neck, and put the practiced characters on the paper with a "slap", "Sir, do you think my writing is getting better and better?"
Qin Hao pulled her to sit on his lap, and then he began to read the words seriously.
“Yeah, there’s progress.”
Shen Shuyi felt that he particularly liked to pull her onto his lap and hug her. The man was tall, and her small body was almost wrapped up by him.
She raised her eyes and asked, "Is there a reward?"
"What does my beloved concubine want?" Qin Hao looked at Shen Shuyi with a smile.
"Hmm... Your Majesty, can you teach me to write your characters? I don't even know what your characters are... Is that okay?"
Qin Hao hugged her tightly, held her hand and started writing without saying a word.
"Ming Zhi, Ming Zhi?"
Chen Shuyi smiled and continued: "The sky is white and bright, which means the sun is bright. The sun is white, so 'bright' should be used instead of 'hao', right?"
"Your Majesty's handwriting is so beautiful."
Shen Shuyi took the pen again and wrote down his name, “Ming Zhishuyi, I wrote our names together!”
Qin Hao lowered his head and met her eyes full of admiration. His bright almond-shaped eyes were filled with joy, as if writing two names together was the best thing in the world.
This time, he felt warm in his heart, so he just lifted her chin and kissed her.
The kisses were dense and detailed on Shen Shuyi's lips, as if he was teasing her intentionally.
Shen Shuyi was dissatisfied, and propped himself up to ask for a more passionate kiss.
Qin Hao pulled up a smile on his lips and chased the bold little Concubine Zhao with a kiss. After kissing her for a while, he restrained himself and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"You are so bold! I will punish you to practice calligraphy from now until dinner time."
Chen Shuyi was sitting in his arms, and soon she felt his distracted mind. His presence was too strong, so she couldn't concentrate and continue writing.
“Mingzhi…” Shen Shuyi said coquettishly, “I can’t write well.”
Qin Hao supervised her and continued, even pointing out what was wrong with interest.
"Wrong. First write the two strokes of the character 'fire', the dot and the stroke on the top, then write the character 'person'."
"I forgot the stroke order I just taught you."
“Bang!”
Shen Shuyi was pulled up by him and slapped on the little butt.
Her eyes suddenly widened...This, this dog emperor is too abominable!
"Oops...I was wrong sir..."
