Chapter 77: Talking About the Script at the Late Night Hotel
Chapter 77 Discussing the script in a hotel late at night
Author: Shenxian Taotao
Li Beichen was surprised.
The queen usually doesn't like to read and practice calligraphy, but at this time she was copying something with concentration.
When she was in the dormitory before, Xie Kewei was rough in words and deeds, had a bad temper, was very strict with her servants, punished them at every turn, was jealous of other concubines, and often quarreled with him over trivial matters.
After he ascended to the throne of God, whether it was due to his growing maturity or being neglected for a long time, or someone secretly gave him a hint, Xie Kewei changed his normal behavior, quickly changed his personality, and adapted to his status as a queen.
She became dignified and reserved, spoke and behaved appropriately, and showed no emotion or anger. She still knew rewards and punishments clearly, but she no longer criticized her harshly, and her whole mind became much deeper.
Maybe people are always forced to grow up.
The two of them respected each other like guests, wearing heavy masks, like the most familiar strangers. They nodded and became acquaintances, but they always got along well.
Visiting late this night, he felt strangely unfamiliar with Kunning Palace.
This was the first time he entered the Queen's study.
The air in the study was damp and cold. The rain outside the window seemed to have stopped at this time, no longer crackling, only the occasional crackling of leaves when the night wind blew.
The queen's study has no cumbersome decorations or luxurious appliances, and is simply decorated but not simple.
The thick carpet is soft when you step on it.
The pattern adopts a Chinese classical design, the color is mainly dark red, and the closely arranged intertwining lotus patterns and swimming dragon patterns are intertwined. From the petals of the lotus to the patterns of the dragon scales, it is exquisite, luxurious and low-key.
On the desk, there is a large vase. Unlike Xiaobai, who likes to put no more than three flowers of the same color, there are several kinds of flowers scattered in the vase, all colorful.
The main flower is a pink peony, a very large flower, half open and half closed, surrounded by a group of flowers, giving it a noble status.
The four treasures of the study on the table are not arranged neatly or randomly like Jiang Yuebai.
Long and short brushes are inserted into the pen holder.
A stack of rice paper was folded casually and placed aside. One of the long rolls was casually spread out and hanging from the edge of the table.
The queen's hair is loose, with only a golden hairpin simply pulling up the top of her hair. She looks a bit like a Taoist priest, and is quite heroic.
The clothes are loose and casual, with a gray woolen sweater on the outside and a long dark green brocade robe underneath, tied with a dazzling golden belt.
Smooth curves outline her graceful figure, making her look like a handsome young man.
As he leaned down, a green jade pendant hung down and hung in the air, trembling from time to time and shining with a faint light.
The queen frowned and was copying intently. She stopped from time to time to stare intently at the book in front of her, as if thinking. After pausing for a moment, she put pen to paper again.
Yumei, the eldest maid next to the Queen, was the first to see Li Beichen. She was surprised and happy, and softly called out: "The Queen, the Emperor is here to see you!"
After saying that, Yumei pulled off the Xiangling on the side, and immediately knelt down with her forehead on the ground, smiling from ear to ear.
The empress looked forward to the stars and the moon, and the emperor finally came to see her!
The queen raised her eyes and saw Li Beichen standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe her eyes.
She even rubbed her eyes before putting down the pen in her hand, stood up, walked towards the emperor with a smile, and saluted gracefully. Like a quiet white lotus, she exuded a sense of solemn tranquility.
Li Beichen looked a little distracted.
In the past, in the dormitory, although she would make a lot of noise, when there was no noise, she would put down what she was doing, run to him regardless of everything, take the initiative to hold his hand, and chatter non-stop.
Sometimes it's trivial matters, sometimes it's complaints. These are things he doesn't like to hear.
Now she has changed and become a different person.
Only then did he realize that the queen was barefoot and had no shoes. Her feet were not white and were a little too big.
At this moment when he lowered his head, a large expanse of white snow appeared in his collar, as if a snow lotus had quietly opened its petals.
"Your Majesty, you are here. I am here to see you. Your Majesty came unexpectedly, and I was not prepared. I wonder if your Majesty, have you already had your dinner? Do you want me to prepare some soup for you as a midnight snack?"
The queen's tone was a little tight and urgent, and she lost her usual calm and calm attitude outside.
She noticed Li Beichen's gaze, panicked and wanted to cover her big feet, so she pretended to pull her coat casually.
Li Beichen was actually very embarrassed and stressed when facing the Queen. Not only was the power of his father and brother in the Queen's family suppressing him, but there was also the alienation caused by the quarrels in the past and the long-term lack of communication.
Before coming in, he carefully considered the appropriateness of his words and actions.
All royal affairs are not family affairs, they are all connected with the previous government. The word "property" is not so easy.
He is not an indecisive person with no independent opinions. Even after taking the throne, he is more decisive and decisive than when he was a prince or prince.
But along the way, Jiang Yuebai's words that he was a wise king who was diligent in politics, loved the people, and recruited talents often appeared in his mind, and the phrase "Kill when it's time to kill" kept recurring.
The belief in his heart was stronger, and his desire to achieve something became more intense.
I decided to come to the Queen today because of what Jiang Yuebai said.
As an emperor, he does not belong to any one person. The responsibilities brought by this position belong to the people of the world.
He told himself that he came to Kunning Palace late at night just to discuss the script.
It's all about work.
Just treat Kunning Palace as a restaurant.
"Queen, there is no need to be so formal. I just came to see you. Didn't you disturb me?"
Li Beichen looked forward at the desk, his tone was as gentle as a gentleman's, and his approachable smile seemed to be full of tenderness and delicacy.
This made the queen feel flattered and a little stunned.
The sun rises from the west?
When had the emperor ever spoken to her so kindly?
The queen looked away and led the emperor to the desk, smiling shyly.
"I am copying the emperor's "Collection of Thoughts". I went to Taorui Palace in the afternoon to visit Xianya Changzai, and she gave it to me. Would you like the emperor to come and have a look and teach me."
The queen's tenderness dazzled Li Beichen, who felt very strange.
Is this the careless queen he knows who shouts and kills all day long?
"Let me take a look," Li Beichen said with a smile, then glanced at the word "Queen".
As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
At first glance, the Queen's calligraphy shows that she had a child's skill when she was a child, and her frame structure and brushstrokes are well-followed.
It's just that the words are just like the person, carefree and flamboyant, which is quite different from the usual dignified character.
Maybe the personality revealed in the words is her true heart.
The queen was keenly aware that her handwriting was arrogant and irregular, and her face turned red.
"The handwriting is not good, which makes the emperor laugh."
Naturally, it is even more incomparable to the word "Xian Ya Chang Zai". Alas, the queen sighed inwardly.
"Not bad, good writing," Li Beichen complimented casually.
He picked up the exquisite blue-covered poetry collection on the table and flipped through it, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
He had seen this booklet before when he made a surprise visit to Jiang Yuebai's residence.
This is her calligraphy, in small regular script with hairpin flowers. The hand-threaded collection of poems is neatly cut, without any rough edges, and even the cover is very elegant.
He couldn't help but take it in his hand and caress it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Seeing that Li Beichen looked happy, the queen was afraid that he would ruin the warm atmosphere like last time and break up unhappy, so she catered to him and said, "Xian Ya Chang Zai's handwriting is beautiful, and his hands are more delicate than ordinary people. I am very good."
like."
"I like her too. Queen, you will have more contact with Xianya Changzai in the future. She is very accomplished in calligraphy and poetry. She is smart and well-behaved, unlike many women in the palace."
The queen is not stupid, so she naturally heard the implication of the leader's intentions.
After boasting for so long, I am finally trying to figure out something.
Chapter completed!
