The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

"Oh! You can't write like this!" Qiqige took the manuscript handed in by Mrs. Niu Hulu to pick and choose.

Niu Hulu's dark circles could not be covered with makeup, she was really tired.

The queen mother invited her to write teaching materials and work together for the princess' education.But... it seems... Niu Hulu is the only one struggling?

The Queen Mother just needs to move her mouth every day. Niu Hulu wrote several versions of the sample draft, and the Queen Mother can always find faults.Niu Hulu was even thinking about whether she offended the queen mother at some point, but she didn't realize it.

Qiqige is very willing to use this white worker, she perfectly interprets what is called a picky party.At this time, she patted the manuscript and said: "You wrote very well, but it's still the same old problem, it's not obvious enough."

Niu Hulu retorted in a low voice: "The concubine's writing is very simple!"

Qiqige spoke earnestly, "For me, this textbook is very simple, and I can understand it at a glance. But it is still difficult for children to understand."

Niu Hulu's face was a little disappointed, Qiqige quickly tried to praise her.Niu Hulu was a coolie whom she bumped into, but she couldn't be so depressed that she resigned and ran away.

"Your writing is excellent, and it can be read by older children. This edition of the textbook you handed in this time has made great progress! It's great!"

Niu Hulu thought it would be a simple matter to write textbooks for the princesses, but she didn't expect that after writing so much, she still couldn't meet the Queen Mother's requirements, and she felt very frustrated.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your comfort, but I know that this edition of the textbook is useless. Older children have already learned the knowledge on it, so they definitely don't want to read this book..."

Niu Hulu felt depressed, what he wrote day and night was just a pile of waste paper.

Qi Qige persuaded: "There is nothing difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up... Uh, no! I mean, I am afraid of those who have a heart! We have just started writing textbooks, so we can explore slowly! I am also thinking about it recently, you can't understand what I mean , it should be because my request is not clear and accurate enough, so that you can't grasp the key point, it's my fault, I didn't express it clearly. This time I will show you a sample!"

Qiqige took out a bound picture album, and Niu Hulu's eyes went dark when he saw it.Now these requests are enough to cause me a headache, so the queen mother still wants to ask?

Qiqige opened the picture album and showed it to Niu Hulu, "You can compile the book according to this."

This is Qiqige's first book draft. Open the first page of the picture book, it says: Li Lei and Han Meimei are best friends, Li Lei is three years old this year, and Han Meimei is five years old this year.

Niu Hulu couldn't help closing her eyes after taking a look at it. The content could no longer be described in simple words, and the twisted handwriting was so ugly that her eyes hurt.

Qiqige turned another page, and the second page was a painting.

Niu Hulu felt that the second page could barely be called a painting. On the painting were two villains, a big head, two circles for eyes, a small triangle for the nose, a big triangle for the mouth, and a painted body. thin sticks.

One of the two villains is marked Li Lei, and the other is marked Han Meimei.Niu Hulu understood that this page is an explanation of the two lines on the first page.

Qiqige also has a sense of shame, and she also knows that her paintings are too soulful.

When Niu Hulu finished reading the painting, Qiqige covered her own painting with her hand.

"This is the booklet I have carefully crafted these days. You...you can take a look at it casually and use it as a reference. The level of teaching material I want is so simple."

Niu Hulu nodded with difficulty. She could write well, knew how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, nine-chapter arithmetic, and was able to manage household affairs.She really didn't understand why she wanted to write such a silly textbook.

Qiqi pushed her masterpiece away reluctantly, "I'll let you read this for two days, you have to remember, this is a top secret, you must keep it carefully, and don't let anyone see it!"

Qiqige: Be sure to hide this top-secret file, I want to save face too!

Niu Hulu took the album, and reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, "Emperor Niang, this concubine probably understands what you mean, and this concubine will go back and make the textbook again."

Qiqige patted her on the back affectionately, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work. I made two new plates of peach blossom cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes today. You can take them back and make up for them."

Niu Hulu's eyes were empty and dull, she didn't want to mend her body now, she just wanted a pair of eyes that had never seen the Queen Mother's paintings.

Back in his palace, Niu Hulu stuffed the Queen Mother's works in the drawer under the dressing table, and then leaned listlessly on the soft couch with his eyes closed.

In a daze, Niu Hulu fell asleep. After an unknown period of time, she felt a figure moving in front of her eyes, and suddenly opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Niu Hulu exclaimed, and quickly got up to salute.

The emperor put down the things in his hand and pressed her to lie down.

"You got up in such a hurry, be careful of getting dizzy." He gently touched the dark spots under Niu Hulu's eyes, "What have you been doing these days, your eyes are so boiled."

Niu Hulu said with a smile: "I didn't do anything... The Empress Dowager asked my concubines to compile textbooks for the princesses. Unfortunately, my concubines were blunt and wrote several samples, but the Empress Dowager was not very satisfied."

The emperor picked up the brochure at hand and shook it, "The empress wants you to write it like this?"

Niu Hulu was extremely surprised, "Your Majesty, the concubine has clearly hidden the brochure in the drawer of the dressing table! You...why did you rummage through the concubine's dressing table?"

The emperor apologized to Niu Hulu's kindly, "I'm sorry, I saw you fell asleep, and I wanted to dig out Luo Zidai and draw a little cat on your face, but I didn't expect Luo Zidai to find it, but I found this."

Niu Hulu said with a smile: "The Queen Mother just handed it over to my concubine today, and the Queen Mother also ordered it. This is a top secret and must not be leaked out. The Emperor must keep it secret!"

Just after laughing, Niu Hulu couldn't help sighing again, "The Empress Dowager said that the princesses are still young, and the teaching materials must be easy to understand, and let the concubines compile it according to this picture book. This is really embarrassing, and the concubines don't know How should I edit it?"

The emperor flipped through the picture book and laughed, "I can't blame you for not knowing how to compile a book. Anyone who reads this will be confused."

Niu Hulu got up to make tea for the emperor herself. She said dejectedly: "I can't compile teaching materials that the empress dowager is satisfied with. I am ashamed of the empress dowager's cultivation. I only realized recently that so many books I have read before are all useless."

The emperor felt funny when he saw that Niu Hulu was so depressed. Niu Hulu was talented and had a big picture.The emperor sometimes thought in his heart that it would be great if the Niu Hulu family and the Hesheli family exchanged their family backgrounds. The Niu Hulu family is actually more suitable to be a queen than the Hesheli family.

The Hesheli family is quite satisfactory, which can be regarded as a pass, and the Niu Hulu family will probably be excellent.

Such a smart person as Niu Hulu was stumped by the Queen Mother, which shows the Queen Mother's ability.

The emperor said with a smile: "In my opinion, those books of yours are indeed wasted. You shouldn't have agreed to the emperor's mother's compilation of textbooks in the first place."

Niu Hulu came over with tea, and complained coquettishly, "What did the emperor say? You have no conscience! Who are they working so hard to compile textbooks for? It's not for your daughters!"

She put down the teacup and turned around, "I have no blessings, I have never given birth to a child, I don't know who is more convenient and cheaper by compiling the textbook."

Seeing that she had lost her temper, the emperor came over to persuade her in a low voice, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. You are doing it for my own good. It's because I don't know good people. Your lord, please forgive me a lot!"

Niu Hulu immediately turned his anger into joy, "The concubine will forgive you!"

The emperor took Niu Hulu's hand and asked her to sit beside him, "How much will the empress give you if you help the empress edit the textbooks?"

"Money?" Niu Hulu shook his head, "This is something that is beneficial to the princess' future, how can the concubine ask for money?"

The emperor: "So...the queen mother didn't give me a penny?"

Niu Hulu thought for a while and said: "The Empress Dowager rewarded me with two plates of pastries, and the concubines haven't eaten yet!"

The emperor covered his face and sighed, he was wrong, Niu Hulu was not suitable to be a queen at all, she was too stupid!

"Tell me about you, you are so busy that you have dark circles under your eyes, and you are working for the queen mother for nothing? You have to ask for wages!"

Niu Hulu couldn't agree, "Your Majesty, compiling a book is an elegant thing, asking for money...how vulgar!"

The emperor didn't know how to persuade his stupid daughter-in-law.

He shook the booklet drawn by the Empress Dowager, "How elegant are you to compile such a book?"

The emperor's words almost made Niu Hulu shed tears, she didn't want to draw Li Lei and Han Meimei...

The emperor gave advice to his daughter-in-law, plotting against his aunt's private treasury.

"You're so tired, you should take a good rest for a few days. From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to the morning and evening meditation. You report a disease and take a good rest in the palace. Just say that you are tired recently."

"Your Majesty, you let your concubine pretend to be sick?" Niu Hulu waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no! Isn't this deliberately taking Joe? The Empress Dowager will be upset!"

The emperor smiled and said: "You don't know the queen's mother too well. Sometimes the queen's mother is very generous, and sometimes she is very stingy. She deliberately doesn't give you wages and makes you work for nothing. You are sick, the queen Mother will definitely feel guilty, and if she feels guilty, she will definitely reward you!"

Niu Hulu shook his head and refused, "Your Majesty is really bad, you asked me to plot against the Empress Dowager's private house, so I won't do it!"

The emperor sighed: "Do you know how many private houses the Empress Dowager has? She ransacked the late emperor's treasury twice, and even searched mine. Most of her private treasury is full of gold, silver and jewelry. She doesn't like painting and calligraphy, so There are only a few famous masterpieces here and there. It wasn’t long before we entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, the late emperor and I don’t have many private houses, but the treasures looted by the empress dowager are still a lot of wealth.”

The emperor began to cry poorly in front of Niu Hulu again, "The San Francisco rebellion, strict frugality in the palace, my inner garment has been worn for a year, I saw a hole in it two days ago, ordered someone to mend it, I don’t want to change it if I continue to wear it. You haven’t made new clothes this year, and you have to suffer this kind of grievance when you marry me. I feel very uncomfortable.”

Niu Hulu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't pretend to be pitiful and cry poorly in front of your concubines. Don't you just want me to help you calculate the Queen Mother's private money and give you some more?"

The emperor was a little embarrassed, "This...how could it be? I am not that kind of person."

Niu Hulu still turned to her husband, she said with a smile: "I will help you once, this concubine pretends to be sick, the emperor will serve as a military advisor to my concubine, and the gold and silver I get will be shared with you in half."

The emperor was very happy, "Okay! Let's make money together!"

On the second day, Niu Hulu was really ill.The emperor summoned the imperial physicians to come over to diagnose Niu Hulu's illness. He discussed with the imperial physicians in advance and asked them to say that Niu Hulu's illness was exhausted.

The imperial physicians prescribed some nourishing medicinal soup for Niu Hulu, and Niu Hulu lay pale on the bed, pretending to be serious.

When Qiqige heard that Niu Hulu was ill, she really felt guilty.Before Niu Hulu pretended to be pitiful, she first came to visit with two old ginseng.

"Good boy, you're tired! Take these two wild ginsengs and make soup to nourish your body."

Niu Hulu looked at the wild ginseng dumbfounded, it's too easy to deceive the Queen Mother!
