Chapter 30: You are the one I feel bad for
The news that Bai Qianqian had made a scene in Chonghua Palace but ended up returning empty-handed spread almost immediately throughout the palace.
The concubines who were waiting for Bai Qianqian to regain the emperor's favor did not get the chance, and they felt both regretful and happy at the same time.
After all, one less woman in this palace means one less competition.
Another target of their competition is currently being punished in Chonghua Palace.
Helian Yue's original words were, "Although you are devoted to me, you still violated the palace rules, and I have no choice but to punish you."
Although he sounded helpless, his tone was impatient.
She was directly punished to go back and copy the palace rules ten times.
And he regarded it as a small revenge for Si Linglong who secretly touched his face and chest and slandered him in various ways.
After all, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
When Si Linglong heard that Helian Yue was going to punish her, she thought she had heard it wrongly.
[Punish me for copying a book? You actually want to punish your cute little me for copying a book? Where is your love?! ]
【The emperor's love is so fickle. 】
Si Linglong was a little distressed.
But there is no intention of giving up.
As the flower of the motherland in the 21st century, who hasn't used up hundreds or even thousands of pen refills?
The only question is where to write it.
Si Linglong asked eagerly, "Your Majesty, can I stay here and copy beside you?"
[Bai Qianqian is now trying to take advantage of me, the cannon fodder female supporting role, and I have no way to argue with her even if I have a point. It’s safer for me to stay with the dog emperor.]
[I am so attached to him, the dog emperor must be secretly happy right now! ]
…
Helian Yue also didn't understand why no matter what was said, she would always develop different conclusions in her heart.
Although I really want to refute her and scold her.
But Helian Yue had to admit that her initiative to stay could indeed save him a lot of trouble.
Because next, he still needs her to help him find out the mastermind behind the assassination.
He remembered that sound.
If he hears it once more, he will be able to follow the clues to find out who it is and the power behind it. He will uproot her once and for all.
So, the next period of time.
Helian Yue recuperated from his injuries while Si Linglong copied the palace rules.
Helian Yue was reading memorials, while Si Linglong was copying palace rules.
While Helian Yue was eating, Si Linglong was still copying the palace rules.
Si Linglong quit.
[If I am fined, I am fined. Why not give me food? This is abuse! ]
Hearing Si Linglong's inner madness, Helian Yue realized that the palace had not prepared lunch for her.
Perhaps because he said there would be a fine, and the fine was happening right under his nose, the palace servants naturally did not dare to prepare meals on their own initiative.
Putting down her chopsticks, Helian Yue was about to ask Futai to serve her food when she heard someone mumbling.
[You made me so hungry, but in the end you are the one who feels bad, hum.]
Helian Yue silently retracted his hand that had just been raised. After thinking about it, he decided to let her starve a little longer, so that she wouldn't think every day that he, the emperor, was madly in love with her.
Helian Yue took care of himself and ate his own meal.
Si Linglong touched her belly and from time to time secretly glanced at someone who was eating elegantly behind the screen. Both her eyes and actions hinted very clearly.
Yet, someone just turns a blind eye.
Si Linglong thought about it and decided to take the initiative.
She held the piece of paper she had just written and moved closer to Helian Yue. As if she hadn't noticed that he was eating, she just kept writing in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I have just finished writing one. Do you think it is okay?"
[Look at your little cutie, writing while starving! His hand holding the pen has become thinner! ]
Helian Yue ignored her inner thoughts, glanced at her casually while holding the bowl, then raised his eyebrows slightly.
This woman's handwriting is surprisingly good.
The pen strokes are free and sharp, and are better than Si Linglong's original handwriting.
After all, Si Linglong was specially brought up to be sent to the palace, so her handwriting was certainly not bad, just the small regular script with flowers that is common among women, and there was inevitably a hint of girlishness in the strokes of her pen.
Not as good as her.
Si Linglong naturally did not miss the flash of admiration in Helian Yue's eyes, and her little tail curled up slightly.
[After all, I practiced my calligraphy year after year under Brother Ba's supervision. Even my calligraphy teacher couldn't find any fault with it. Do you think I'm a treasure you found? Do you think you shouldn't treat me so harshly?]
Helian Yue: ...
This word suddenly feels boring.
