Zhao Yelin saw the unspeakable expression on Taifu's face. He stood up, walked to Wen Jiaojiao and looked down, feeling happy.
It had been a long time since he had seen anyone's handwriting be so ugly. The last time it was written by Xiao Qingyu in the military camp more than ten years ago.
He still remembered that the expression on Xiao Qingyu's grandfather, Old Guo Gong, was still vivid in his mind when he saw the military report she wrote.
From then on, the old prince hired a teacher to teach her calligraphy and reading. Even a military attache could not read Chinese characters without writing them like a dog crawling.
But Xiao Qingyu had an unruly temperament, and her teachers were driven away one after another by her anger.
The old man is so angry that he wants to call for martial law.
In the end, he patiently taught Xiao Qingyu how to practice calligraphy. At that time, she couldn't even recognize the characters.
As soon as it was time to practice calligraphy, she would run out with an excuse, and he would follow her tirelessly, just to catch her practicing calligraphy. In the end, she lost her temper and could sit down and write for half an hour every day.
But until she entered the palace, her calligraphy didn't get much better. Later, she no longer needed his teaching, and she could actually read and practice calligraphy with peace of mind. The calligraphy is now very good, with a strong and strong stroke, just like her.
Wen Jiaojiao was drawing the talisman there when a big warm hand grabbed her hand and led her to practice calligraphy there. Wen Jiaojiao's nervous body was tense and she didn't dare to move. She could only be led by the emperor to do that.
The words were written stroke by stroke.
"If you concentrate on writing for half an hour every day, you will be able to read the words."
Wen Jiaojiao thought to herself that it was not that she was illiterate, it would be enough if she could recognize the words. Anyway, they were all used for expression. She was not a literary master and had no ambition to do so. Writing for half an hour every day would be better than sleeping.
As if he could hear her thoughts, Zhao Yelin said from above Wen Jiaojiao's head: "Are you thinking that it's enough that you can recognize the words, and you don't have to write them beautifully?"
Wen Jiaojiao's expression froze, he looked up at the emperor with a slightly embarrassed look, and immediately said: "No, Your Majesty, I didn't think so."
But Zhao Yelin looked at her as if he had seen through everything.
Wen Jiaojiao had no choice but to say: "I don't like practicing calligraphy..."
After saying that, Wen Jiaojiao glanced at the Taifu. Because the emperor was there, the Taifu just glared at her slightly and said nothing.
The emperor asked: "What do you like?"
Wen Jiaojiao: "Let's paint. I can sculpt. If this is what I like to learn, I'll learn it."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Then tomorrow you go to the Hanlin Academy to learn painting from the painter."
Wen Jiaojiao said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yelin looked at the smiling little girl and touched her head gently.
A palace attendant who was serving tea in the upper study saw the interaction between Zhao Yelin and the fourth lady, and his eyes flickered and he retreated.
In the Yilan Palace, Shen Lanjun, who heard the palace attendant's report, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with a somewhat surprised expression: "Did he really see the emperor holding Wen Ruyue's hand?"
The maid Yunzhu replied: "It's true that the emperor holds Miss Wen's hand and looks very close to her. Madam, the emperor treats Miss Wen very differently."
Shen Lanjun smiled coldly: "The Xiao family already has a queen, and they want to squeeze in another one. What will she be granted this time, a noble concubine?"
"We, the Shen family, can't achieve anything high or low now. I must take another step forward."
Shen Lanjun clasped her long armor dyed with dandelion lightly on the table, thought for a while, and said: "The emperor may not like her, but that girl has some similarities with the queen."
Yunzhu said: "But the faces of Fourth Miss Wen and the Queen are not very similar."
"Oh, it's just appearance. To find the shadow of another person from one person, her temperament, preferences, words and deeds are the best way to awaken a person's memory. This is much more effective than looking alike."
Shen Lanjun thought of the former queen and said: "A person will not fall in love with someone who just looks exactly the same, but he will fall in love with someone with the same temperament. Even if he doesn't like it now, he may not fall in love with him in the future."
That girl lived in the Queen's Palace all day, wandering around under the emperor's nose, which was really unsettling to watch.
Shen Lanjun entered the palace not long after the empress, but she was promoted slowly. Concubine De and Xianfei at the same time as her were already one of the four concubines, but she was still one of those who struggled to move up or down. Zhaoyi.
Their family is also a civil servant, so they are not promoted as quickly as the military attachés.
Her status represents the current situation of the Shen family. Except for Shen Zhishu, a biological brother, the others are all concubine children who cannot get on the stage. She must consider the long-term interests of the family.
I originally thought that Ruyue, that girl, would spend all day writing letters, and when she got older, she would ask people to go to the Wen family to propose marriage, but in the end, this girl personally humiliated so many ministers and aristocratic families in front of their doors.
Now it seems that I have other thoughts.
If she enters the palace, given the background and power of the Xiao family, she will at least be a noble concubine.
If she becomes a noble concubine, nothing will happen to her. The most important thing is that she will not marry into the Shen family and bring help to the Shen family.
Shen Lanjun said to Yunzhu: "Go and find out how long it will take for Fourth Miss Wen to get hairpins. When she gets hairpins, we will give her a big gift."
Yunzhu retreated in response.
Looking at Yunzhu's leaving figure, Shen Lanjun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dark look in his eyes. It seemed that he couldn't do it without resorting to some means. This harem has been silent for too long, not for anything else, but for them. Shen family.
She didn't believe that this girl like Ruyue didn't care about Zhi Shu at all. She was just young and was dazzled by the man's gentleness and sweet words.
Then help her to understand what she really likes.
