After discovering that the emperor is a woman

This is nothing.

Working overtime, who is born human, who can not hate it?Being able to commute to get off work on time is a good thing!Free part-time jobs without salary increase, whoever likes to do it!

However, partiality does no harm without contrast.

The whole family has serious positions, from the grandfather who is 80 to [-] years old, down to the elder brothers who have just entered the Imperial Academy in their early teens.

Everyone in the family who has won the Sacred Heart wakes up earlier and sleeps later than the chicken!

Most of the time, there is almost no one to be found at home, either struggling on the job, on the way in and out of the palace, or working hard for the government, passing by the door many times without having time to drink saliva, which can be called a model of hard work in the times.

Except for her old father...

From childhood, Liu Jiuning was used to seeing her father play the piano and draw pictures when he was not on duty, and then leisurely chant poems with his mother.

Occasionally, when I was on duty, I would get the oil paper bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that the other party bought back from the street.

All kinds of excuses to go home emerge in endlessly.

I still remember that Emperor Xian was good at painting, and her old father's painting style and brushwork would invite people in to paint two paintings when he had free time.If she was an ordinary person, she would kowtow to thank her, but her father was different, always using his busy schedule as an excuse.

Push if you can, and if you really can't push, you procrastinate and follow the little eunuch into the palace.

Liu Jiuning didn't know how his old father had the courage to say the words "busy with business", but he only knew the essence of fishing, which was really thoroughly understood by the other party over and over again!

have to obey.

It's also thanks to my old father's low official position, but also some ability, painting is also very popular with the late emperor, and the family is very powerful, so I have been fishing for many years and still have such a small job.

Even so, many books have been referenced.

"Fortunately, I won the first place among the dozens of painters called by His Majesty, so here I come."

Liu Yucheng spoke modestly, but the pride in his eyes and his straight waist like pine and cypress all revealed his pride.

"But Dad, don't you always say that you are too busy to enter the palace?" Liu Jiuning blinked her big watery eyes, innocently piercing the old father's pride and pride.

Liu Yucheng coughed twice, deliberately raised his voice, and said, "Sharing His Majesty's worries is a subject's duty. No matter how busy the official business is, there will always be time to finish it."

After finishing speaking, he glared at his scheming daughter.

This palace is not comparable to outside the palace, and now that he is sitting in the back seat, he is not more stable, he is still so reckless.

Seeing this, Liu Jiuning naturally smiled and praised her old father. First, he was able to relieve the emperor's worries, and then his painting skills were superb, and then he came alive.

Liu Yucheng was still grinning from ear to ear at first, but soon felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly called a stop, and said at the same time: "Why are you still using idioms indiscriminately? Forget it, don't boast anymore, use Ning'er you In other words, it should be low-key and low-key."

Hearing this, Liu Jiuning covered her mouth and laughed. After a little joke, she also knew that this was not a good place to talk for a long time. to the palace.

At this time, the simple language teaching has temporarily ended.

The groups also spread out to learn others.

Seeing that her father had returned to her place and began to point out the painting skills, she found a place to sit down and drink tea.

I had just had two sips of tea.

She was taken away by the old father who didn't want to see her leisurely, and they started to learn how to write the rather esoteric ink painting together.

My father drew a swollen bird with a brush, and she drew a chick whose shape could barely be seen.

Liu Yucheng caught a glimpse of his daughter's chicken cub, which was indeed round enough but its claws were crooked, and then looked at the birds whose shapes were drawn by other concubines and noble ladies.

silent.

In the past, Ning'er's paintings were not so... bad, right?He still remembered that the villain with the round head and short limbs was so pleasing to the eye!

The father and daughter looked at each other for a long time.

It was Liu Jiuning who took advantage of the fact that everyone didn't look up, silently rolled up the scroll, and pretended to be calm and handed the chick he drew to the female officer who followed him.

Soon, the old father stopped forcing her to paint. Not only did he not force her, but he also drove her to other places to make time for the new lady to paint and appreciate.

The disgusted Liu Jiuning had no choice but to go back to the side and drink tea leisurely.

After all, it was because of uneasy conscience, and it was really not good to fish in public, so I wandered around, learning a few words of the small country's language, or admiring poetry, painting and music.

When learning and learning, the grouping was messed up, and there was a problem again, so I hurried to readjust.

All day down.

It looks easy, but Liu Jiuning is actually filled with bits and pieces of knowledge, from the history of small countries to languages ​​to complex interpersonal relationships and taboos that should be paid special attention to.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Time passed quickly, and the five days of short training passed in the blink of an eye.

With the intensive study and the hard work of the concubines and noble ladies, the effect is still very significant, and there is basically no problem with spot checks and memorization.

Except for Liu Jiuning, everyone seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

This is not a big problem, as both the emperor and empress distributed a lot of rewards, everyone's emotions were quickly aroused.

The next day, this group of special envoys from the Ministry of Rites put on the official uniforms specially made by the embroiderers in the palace, and went to work.

At this time, the morning greetings from concubines have already ended.

Liu Jiuning was concerned about the concubines and noble daughters who were doing diplomatic work outside the palace for the first time, and was always worried that something might go wrong, so she specially borrowed some secret guards from the emperor to go out and watch.

Even so, he still didn't even have a good breakfast.

In any case, this was all done because of her suggestion, if it messes up, it's okay for her reputation to be bad, I'm afraid it will harm the future of those beautiful little girls.

It wasn't until the caring female officer told each group that the first meeting with the foreign envoy went smoothly, that she was relieved.

Deal with the account books accumulated in the palace for half an hour.

Liu Jiuning sat on the phoenix chariot and rushed to the queen mother's bedroom happily. She finally understood that intrigue is not tiring, what is more tiring is stuffing knowledge madness that does not belong to her into her mind.

to be frank!

Now she can't remember who those small countries are, and all the memories in her head are messed up.

Or go to the Queen Mother to relax.

During the mutual torment in the past few days, I gradually let myself go, almost to the point of being unrestrained.

There is tea, food, and music, and you can accompany the old man to talk aimlessly!Where is this torture?This is living a retirement life in advance!

Liu Jiuning hummed a silent song softly, squinted her eyes to look at the blue sky and white clouds, and even thought about what she was going to chat with the Queen Mother in advance.

Just wait for the phoenix chariot to fall!

"Mother! Ning'er came to see you. Ning'er knows that you are also thinking about it. No, I came to you as soon as the matter ordered by His Majesty was finished. Five days is not too long!"

No one has heard him before.

The Empress Dowager, who was copying Buddhist scriptures, raised her hand slightly in shock, and accidentally shook it twice, leaving little scratches on the paper.

……

A good volume of Buddhist scriptures was destroyed just like that.

Just like her peaceful life.

"Queen, are you writing? Did I disturb you?" Liu Jiuning poked out half of her head, smiling and looking directly at the queen mother in the distance.

She really misses each other.

I also miss this quiet palace full of Buddha fragrance.

The Empress Dowager signaled the nanny to deal with the copied and ruined Buddhist scriptures, and sighed silently in her heart as she looked at the empress's eccentric eyes that kept turning around and didn't know what bad idea she was thinking.

She has never seen any woman in the harem.

Bisheng really doesn't understand the person the emperor cares about.

I don't know what the emperor is looking for in the other party. Is it because Liu Jiuning is so weird?

……

The queen mother didn't want to explore her child's taste, so she sighed silently in her heart, then raised her hand, beckoned to Liu Jiuning, and said at the same time, "Come and copy the Buddhist scriptures with Ai's family."

Buddha can meditate.

The queen's temperament is really... really can't be called prudent, it is better to copy more Buddhist scriptures and say less.

"Hey, good!" Liu Jiuning ran to the queen mother with small steps, saw the fluent and beautiful handwriting of the other party, and quickly smiled and praised her, then suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "Mother, Ninger's The handwriting is not very good, I'm afraid it won't catch your eyes, why don't you forget it?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager raised her head to look at Liu Jiuning, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Liu's good calligraphy is well-known all over the world, and there are so many people asking for it. Since the queen was taught by Prime Minister Liu himself, how can there be any difference? Could it be that Are you being humble?"

In the early years, I learned from the mouth of the first emperor that the old prime minister Liu had a loving grandson, who taught him how to write every day when he came home.

Her memory is not bad either.

This Ai Sun is the queen in front of her.

"Oh, mother, you don't know that this person has different talents from others." Liu Jiuning sighed for a long time, and seeing that the queen mother insisted, she said with a smile: "But since you are interested in coming, my son Naturally, I want to accompany you, but you are not allowed to say that this word is too bad."

soon.

Mammy moved a chair and placed it next to the Queen Mother. The desk was big enough for the two of them to copy books together without feeling crowded.

Liu Jiuning is also a person who has studied Buddhism with the old monk for a few days, and her early goal was to be a nun in the deep mountains and forests, and after a few years of further study in the nunnery, she returned to the capital to become a close master, so the Buddhist scriptures were also read early. After memorizing a lot, I just waited to become a monk.

I didn't expect that the family didn't make it, but now it's used in this kind of place.

She also kept in mind that when copying Buddhist scriptures, she had to be calm and concentrated. No matter what, she could be regarded as one of the old monk's nominal disciples, and she really couldn't embarrass him.

Put aside the messy thoughts, and enter the state after writing.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager felt a lot more at ease. Although the other party was out of line, she was sincere enough to make the national teacher treat her differently.

Thinking of this, she shifted her gaze to the nib of the bamboo pen held by the queen.

His eyes paused slightly.

The faint smile that had been hanging on the corner of his lips stiffened.

the word...

The Empress Dowager couldn't help looking away, she really didn't expect that the Empress was not the slightest bit humble, the handwriting was more than invisible.

It's so immature that it hurts the eyes!

It's no wonder that the old Prime Minister Liu was rushing to the court many years ago to teach Ai Sun to practice calligraphy.

She couldn't bear to look any longer, she quickly looked away, and began to write, out of sight, at least she gained peace.

pity.

After all, Queen Tranquility could not give what the Queen Mother wanted.

After copying a volume of Buddhist scriptures, Liu Jiuning happened to meet the Queen Mother who raised her eyes, so she cheerfully took the copied Buddhist scriptures and showed off her Buddhist teachings to the Queen Mother.

Yes.

She is also a person with a bit of Dharma in her stomach.

Buddhism may not be very good, but in terms of philosophy, she is still very remarkable standing on the shoulders of giants.

Liu Jiuning thought that the skills she had prepared for many years had nowhere to go, and seeing the Queen Mother was interested, it was like a peacock spreading its tail, pointing to the Buddhist scriptures he had copied word by word.

Occasionally smiling, or meaningful, and then make an inscrutable look.

A full-fledged replica of Master Guoshi.

The queen mother listened to these sensible words, and then looked at the deja vu expression, and finally realized that the queen did have a deep friendship with the national teacher.

but!

The strange-sounding remarks, as well as pointing at the hard-to-see Buddhist scriptures to copy from time to time, reminded her that the queen is nowhere to be found all the time!

She didn't know how the national teacher and the other party became Wangnian friends.Bookstore (V) (V) (V) (V)

At this moment, I just feel that the world is so noisy.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who used the name of lunch to get rid of this Zen discussion unilaterally believed by the Empress.

However, she still underestimated the queen's eloquent mouth.

A good lunch, but accompanied by the words of the birthday banquet scene that day, and there are many words that have never been heard before.

this moment.

The queen mother really regretted it, she missed the days when she worshiped the Buddha alone in the small Buddhist hall.

So, after finishing lunch, without further delay, she directly and clearly asked the mother to make a list of the appearance of the birthday banquet she wanted, and handed it to the queen.

And said that preparations can start now.

Liu Jiuning kept saying yes, but she was unwilling to leave, so she stayed in the Queen Mother's bedroom, obsessed with copying Buddhist scriptures and teaching Buddhism.

Isn't it Lai?

She came here to relax, so she didn't want to go back and face the never-ending work of preparing the banquet!

It was the first time that the queen mother could not drive someone away, thinking that the queen would not come again after this, so she allowed the other party to accompany her to copy Buddhist scriptures for half a day.

I am afraid to talk about the weird way of discussing Buddhism again, and I have stated early that I can only copy Buddhist scriptures.

Although it's not the same as Liu Jiuning's idea, fortunately, the overall direction is similar, anyway, it's all to avoid work.

He nodded in response.

But this copying of Buddhist scriptures was originally a boring job, and the Empress Dowager did not allow her to discuss Buddhism and Taoism. She wanted to talk, but she saw that the Empress Dowager was copying seriously without even raising her head.

She kept making small movements, drank eighteen cups of tea from the mother, ate nine pieces of pastries, and went to the toilet five times. Finally, she couldn't stand the loneliness. Unknowingly, she pressed her face on the half-copied Buddhist scriptures. fell asleep.

The queen mother finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the steady breathing.

She moved her wrist, raised her head to look at the sleeping queen, and shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself that she should increase the complexity of the birthday banquet so that the other party would not have time to look for her when she was too free.

After all, when you are old, you should rest when co-authoring.

It's better to leave such a lively girl to the emperor, she really can't bear it.

Nobody knows.

At this time, the emperor was standing outside the window covered by swaying leaves. She wanted to come to pay her respects to the queen mother, but she did not expect to see such a scene by coincidence.

It seems that the two people in the room are mother and daughter just now, and they are very harmonious.
