"Accept the order?" Zhuo Ye was slightly stunned when he heard the words, but soon came to his senses, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I will be there right away."
Zhuo Ye got up first and went to the desk and pulled out two handwritten books. One was the English version of "Aesop's Fables" written by Xia Chen, and the other was the "Aesop's Fables" she translated.
More than half a month ago, Feng Linrui sent someone to send "Aesop's Fables" left by Xia Chen for Zhuo Ye to translate. Zhuo Ye didn't dare to complain. Anyway, she had a lot of time and had something to do.
, to prevent myself from always thinking wildly and being restless. However, the book was translated in a few days, and Feng Linrui didn't send anyone to pick it up, so he kept it there.
Zhuo Ye put the two books into a small box, held the box and walked towards the main hall. Feng Linrui sent someone this time, probably to pick up the books...
In the main hall.
Zhuo Ye saw that the eunuch's hand did not hold anything like an imperial edict, and he was even more sure that he was here to get a book. He couldn't help but wonder to himself, should she kneel down?
Before Zhuo Ye could react, the eunuch bowed his head respectfully and spoke: "Our family has seen the Goddess of the Stars!"
"You don't need to be polite, father-in-law, you should... just call me Miss Zhuo." Zhuo Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and said very uncomfortably: "father-in-law is here this time, but the emperor sent him to get the 'Book of Heaven'?"
"Yes, Miss Zhuo." This eunuch is someone who is used to serving around the emperor. Naturally, he knows how to read people's words. Seeing Zhuo Ye's expression, he knew that she was not used to being called such a name. Although he was in awe of her identity, he did not dare to let her go.
She was unhappy, so she quickly changed her title and continued: "The emperor has issued a verbal decree that it is right to come to pick up the Book of Heaven, but he also asks the girl to come to the palace and bring it to the emperor himself."
"You want me to take you there myself?" Zhuo Ye was a little surprised. Does Feng Linrui want to see her? What to do?
"Yes, please, girl," the eunuch said.
"Okay, father-in-law, please wait a moment and let me go back to my room and change my clothes." Zhuo Ye nodded. Although she didn't know Feng Linrui's intention in her heart, she naturally didn't dare to resist the emperor's order if he wanted to see her.
"Our family is waiting for the girl here." The father-in-law said honestly.
The palace sent a carriage, but Xu Saner, Zheng Qian, and Zheng Kun did not follow. Zhuo Ye followed the father-in-law into the palace with only Qiao Ling.
Liuyun Palace is a relatively quiet small palace in the palace. Feng Linrui likes to rest here when he has free time or wants to be quiet. At this moment, Zhuo Ye was brought into Liuyun Palace by the eunuch...
When Zhuo Ye entered, Feng Linrui was the only one in the room.
He was standing in front of the window, looking at the birds outside the window in trance. When he heard Zhuo Ye's footsteps, he didn't look back.
"Daughter of the people Zhuo Ye, please pay homage to your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhuo Ye quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Get back on your feet." Feng Linrui said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuo Ye stood up. Seeing that Feng Linrui didn't turn around, he reached out and gently rubbed his sore knee.
After Feng Linrui asked Zhuo Ye to get up, he stopped talking. Zhuo Ye stood there quietly, not daring to make a sound.
After a long while, Feng Linrui finally turned around, looked at Zhuo Ye attentively, and nodded secretly in his heart. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm and indifferent, without the superiority of reincarnation in the stars. He looked like an ordinary person everywhere, but he seemed so extraordinary.
…
Zhuo Ye lowered his head slightly and accepted Feng Linrui's inspection with a calm expression.
Feng Linrui withdrew his gaze, came to sit in front of the chair, and asked, "Has the translation of the 'Book of Heaven' been completed?" He had already noticed the box in Zhuo Ye's hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuo Ye respectfully presented the box in his hand.
Feng Linrui took the box, opened it, and casually opened the book "The Language of Ys" translated by Zhuo Ye, and was immediately attracted by her peculiar font!
"What did you use to write this word?" Feng Linrui asked curiously.
"It's my homemade quill pen. I haven't been used to using quill pens since I was a child." Zhuo Ye replied politely.
Zhuo Ye's quill calligraphy is slim and straight, very beautiful, but Xia Chen is obviously someone who is good at using calligraphy. Her letters and notes are all written with skillful and beautiful calligraphy. Zhuo Ye has not studied calligraphy, so he has no knowledge of calligraphy.
She couldn't tell what kind of body it was, but she was always puzzled. She didn't know whether Xia Chen had learned calligraphy before time travel, or whether he had practiced it after time travel...
"Quill pen?" Feng Linrui raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me, what kind of pen is it?"
Zhuo Ye had no choice but to briefly explain to Feng Linrui how to make quills.
"It sounds very fresh and interesting." Feng Linrui raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "You can make some some other time, and I will give it a try."
"Your Majesty, when I was a girl, my family was not rich, so I made that kind of pen in order to save money. After using it for a long time, I became proficient in it, and then I can use it normally. From now on, I will no longer be able to write calligraphy with calligraphy, and I will use it if I am new to it.
People who use pens are usually not used to using them..." Zhuo Ye made it up. She didn't want to teach Feng Linrui how to use a quill pen or write hard-pen calligraphy in the future. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"What? What do you mean, my understanding is not as good as yours?" Although Feng Linrui's tone is still neither serious nor serious, his oppressive momentum has been released!
"The civilian girl didn't mean that!" Zhuo Ye frowned slightly and shut up. She would be wrong if she said too much. She should try to say as few wrong words as possible. She just hoped that the moody guy in front of her would not deliberately find fault with her.
good.
"Sit down." Feng Linrui put the book in his hand back into the box, pushed it aside, and pointed to the chair opposite.
"The daughter of the people thanked the emperor for the seat." Zhuo Ye walked to the chair and sat down dumbly. Although she wanted to know what Feng Linrui wanted to do when he asked her to enter the palace, she did not dare to ask questions.
"Come with me to finish this game." Feng Linrui pointed at the remaining game on the table.
"Okay..." Zhuo Ye took the initiative and picked up the white piece due to his disadvantage.
When Zhuo Ye first came in, he had already noticed the endgame. The white stone was in a very bad situation. Although the black stone had the advantage, it was obvious that the person holding the black stone before had only average chess skills. Thinking about it, which concubine should it be?
Minister, let's play half of the game with Feng Linrui. Maybe that person's chess skills are very poor, or he doesn't dare to win against Feng Linrui...
Wait! It doesn’t look like it was intentional. This messy move seems more like...that person is absent-minded?
Zhuo Ye couldn't help but be stunned, who is that person? How dare he be so bold! In front of Feng Linrui, how dare he sneak away so blatantly?!
There is basically no room for turning defeat into victory in this game. It is quite difficult to draw a draw. Zhuo Ye said nothing and silently made his move.
"This chess game is the endgame of yesterday." Feng Linrui suddenly said.
"Oh." Zhuo Ye didn't know how to answer the question, so he responded softly.
"Want to know who is playing chess with me?" Feng Linrui continued.
Zhuo Ye's heart suddenly jumped, and he replied carefully: "How can a commoner girl recognize the people around the emperor?"
"Of course you recognize it." Feng Linrui dropped the black seed in his hand and said calmly: "It's my seventh brother, Linge."
