The two then went to the study.
"This study is quite large, and it has a lot of books. You didn't bring all your books here, did you?"
Le Shu has read many books and doesn't dislike reading, but she really can't get into classical Chinese. However, since she's in ancient times, she can't just stop reading.
“I’ll be staying here more often from now on. Half of this study is for me. Didn’t you see there are two desks?”
The reason why Shaoguang Courtyard is decorated so comfortably is because Yinzhen will come here often in the future. As for whether there will be rumors of favoring concubines over wives, that will not happen. As long as his son does not die for a woman, Kangxi will not say anything. He is not the crown prince.
Furthermore, Yinzhen had a prior criminal record.
Consort Li was previously favored, and she practically held absolute power in the inner quarters.
Compared to Emperor Kangxi's preference for a diverse range of talents, Emperor Yinzhen was more likely to favor one person at a time, and then switch to favoring someone else every ten years or so.
Le Shu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would still have to work after coming to the Qing Dynasty."
Yinzhen: "I see you seem quite willing."
Le Shu was a workaholic to begin with; otherwise, she wouldn't have achieved financial freedom at such a young age in her previous life. She started as an orphan. It's true that she has talent, but it's inseparable from her hard work and her indomitable spirit.
"I can't stay idle. I always need to find something to do to pass the time, otherwise I'll have problems if I do it for too long."
"There's such a saying?"
"Of course, people always need to have goals to strive for in life."
Yinzhen thought about it and realized it was true. In his previous life, he had initially wanted to be a wise prince who was the crown prince, but after the crown prince fell, he had no choice but to make becoming the emperor his goal.
I've always been very motivated, and although I'm busy, it's been fulfilling.
Le Shu has always been money-oriented, but it's not that she loves money. She always acquires it ethically. Of course, she has dealt with many people and knows a lot about the gray areas.
"By the way, I remember you mentioned the complete guide to heated kang beds and wool processing. Could you tell me about them in detail? Also, the formula for honeycomb briquettes. I was originally thinking of having someone experiment with it a few more times, but it seems that I don't need to bother with that now."
"Of course."
Having grown up under the five-star red flag, she naturally carries a sense of patriotism and concern for the people, and she will not hesitate to do things that benefit the country and its people.
Then the two went to the desk and began to write and draw.
Le Shu knows calligraphy, which she learned specifically to please her clients. It's not exactly elegant, but it's fairly neat and tidy, just ordinary small regular script.
As she wrote, Le Shu couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "I'm still not used to writing with this brush."
The image of a fountain pen appeared in Yinzhen's mind. He had only seen it before and did not know how to make it. Then he thought of the missionaries kept in the palace and said, "Father should have quill pens in his collection. I will ask the missionaries how to make them later. Fountain pen making should not be too easy. You probably won't need it for a while."
Le Shu was stunned. She had just made a casual complaint, a habitual one. Modern life is stressful, so this was normal. She didn't expect him to take it so seriously.
Thinking about how this person would pamper his thirteenth brother in the future, Le Shu felt relieved. He really wanted to take care of the people he valued in every aspect of their lives, even their food, shelter, and transportation. He would even care about their diet when raising two dogs and personally design clothes for them.
He truly deserves to be called the most vibrant emperor.
"In that case, thank you in advance. I'll see if I can sign up enough to reveal the pen manufacturing process later."
As for ballpoint pens and black pens, she decided to put them aside for the time being, as those things were not easy to obtain. However, she could think of a way to get pencils.
Two workaholics, two desks, they were busy until noon, when they had lunch.
"I'm going to take a nap, do you want to come with me?"
It's true that Le Shu is a workaholic in modern times, but she doesn't want to be a workaholic all the time. In the past, she had no choice but to be busy because the competition was fierce. If she wasn't busy, others would push her out and take over her work.
Although she has things to do now, she doesn't have to be in a rush every time, and she still needs to rest when she needs to.
Yinzhen was taken aback. A nap?
He was used to being busy, and seeing Le Shu looking at him with a smile, he naturally couldn't refuse since she had sincerely invited him.
Furthermore, he finally understood a principle: sometimes being busy isn't enough; using the right method is more effective than just being diligent.
Let's go together!
He then looked at Su Peisheng: "Don't forget to remind me to rest for a while at noon in the future."
Su Peisheng was numb. It was the first time he realized that his master was so indulgent. His master used to be the most strict about rules. Taking a nap at noon was unprecedented. But looking at that face, it was not incomprehensible.
He was completely convinced.
"Yes, sir."
Le Shu watched Su Peisheng's expression change and couldn't help but chuckle. Thinking about how Su Peisheng was teased as "Consort Su" online, she became even more amused.
Upon entering the room, Yinzhen saw her laughing heartily and asked, "Why are you laughing like that?"
"Did you see Su Peisheng's horrified expression just now? Su Fei probably thinks she's about to fall out of favor!"
"Su Fei? What is this?"
"Consort Su is Su Peisheng! You're a workaholic, and Su Peisheng has spent more time with you than any of the women in your harem have. Moreover, he understands you better than any of the women in your harem. We often joke that Consort Su is the one who has the Emperor's heart the most."
She wouldn't tell him the specifics of Su Fei's origins; if this man knew about the affairs of the fat orange harem, he might faint from anger.
Yinzhen was speechless and choked with sobs: "Absurd! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Although she said this, her tone didn't sound reprimanding. Le Shu smiled and said nothing more.
