Chapter 758 Princess 7

Chapter 758 Princess 7

Princess House.

Sheng Huan returned to the main courtyard and asked someone to bring him paper and pen.

I don’t know what she wrote, but after the words dried, she spoke.

"Tian Jiu."

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in black knelt down silently in front of her.

This was one of the new secret guards that Emperor Tiancheng gave her after he knew that she had no secret guards around her. The other one was called Tian Shiwu.

"My subordinate is here."

Sheng Huan folded the paper and put it in an envelope.

"You, go to Nanwu and be sure to hand this letter to the Crown Prince in person."

Although the matter of Wang Xiang was exposed and Emperor Tiancheng and his men had been warned, Sheng Huan still felt it was safer to think of the outcome of the crown prince being assassinated.

After all, we have to guard against the spies around the prince.

"Princess……"

Tianjiu looked embarrassed. After all, it was because the original secret guards around the princess were gone that he and Tianshiwu were sent by the emperor to protect the princess. And their first priority was to protect the princess.

"The Emperor has ordered his subordinates to protect your safety."

“Tianjiu.” Sheng Huan’s gaze fell, his rosy lips slightly curled, he was still smiling, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Who is your master?"

She tapped the table with her fingers, neither light nor heavy, but inexplicably in sync with her heartbeat. Tianjiu was shocked all over and dared not say another word.

"Subordinates obey orders."

After Tianjiu took the envelope, Sheng Huan gave him a sweet treat: "I have Tianshiwu and others by my side, so nothing will happen."

Tianjiu was stunned. Was the princess explaining to him?

"After you return from Nanwu, I will allow you to take three days off."

After Tianjiu left, Sheng Huan spread out a piece of white paper and wrote down the process of movable type printing.

"Princess."

After an unknown amount of time, Xueqing, one of the original owner's personal maids, came forward with a bird's nest.

"The chef in the kitchen knew you were coming back, so he specially made blood swallows to nourish your body."

Sheng Huan put down the pen in his hand: "Yeah."

-

Within half an hour, everything Sheng Huan had asked Nanny Zhou to do was done.

garden.

Nanny Zhou came to pay a visit with ten craftsmen.

"Princess, these are ten craftsmen with excellent skills in the capital."

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The craftsmen knelt, looking distinctly reserved.

Sheng Huan didn't waste any words.

"I asked you to come here today to do something."

Sheng Huan gave Xue Qing a look, and Xue Qing immediately came up with the drawings and distributed them to each craftsman one by one.

The craftsmen looked at the small pieces on the drawing, somewhat confused.

"This is the first step. Divide the clay, pear wood, and metal into evenly sized cubes. Will the clay harden when burned?"

None of the ten craftsmen dared to speak for a while. Finally, the trembling voice of a young craftsman was heard.

"Princess, the Grassroots will."

"What's your name?"

Sheng Huan looked over.

"I'm Zhang Lichao, a commoner." Zhang Lichao's heart was beating wildly.

"Zhang Lichao, right?" Sheng Huan nodded: "From now on, you will be the person in charge of your team."

The others were so upset when they heard this. Why were they so slow? Otherwise, Zhang Lichao wouldn't have won the princess's favor.

"Thank you princess."

Sheng Huan continued:

"Divide yourself into several groups and decide who will do what. I only look at the results. It's not too late today, so you can start first."

She fiddled with the teacup in her hand and said leisurely, "You are working for me, and I will not treat you unfairly. You will receive two taels of silver every day. If you do a good job, I will reward you generously."

"Thank you princess!"

The ten craftsmen became excited upon hearing this.

This is two taels of silver a day. Where can they get so much silver?

"Madame Zhou, take them down."

"Yes, princess."

Nanny Zhou bowed and then looked at the craftsmen.

"Guys, please come this way."

After everyone left, the garden became quiet.

Sheng Huan put down the teacup. Just now, she wanted to ask a few of them to carve words on the pear wood first, but when she thought about it carefully, although the craftsmen could carve words, the words they wrote... I'm afraid they wouldn't be very good.

This job has to be done well, and the words on the template can't be ugly.

After all, I will need them in the future. But writing on these things may be a bit tiring.

"Xueqing, who do you think has beautiful handwriting? Can I use his handwriting as a template?"

Xue Qing thought about it seriously and replied:

"Princess, I think the adults who have passed the imperial examinations all have very good handwriting."

"Imperial examination?"

Sheng Huan seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly, she discovered something. Her eyes suddenly looked towards the high wall.

When I looked over, I was confronted by a handsome young man lying on the wall.

"Feng...Feng Ning..."

The young man was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes. His face was so handsome that it made the world pale in comparison. He looked very well behaved. However, when his eyes rolled around, you could tell that he was up to something bad. His personality was definitely not as well behaved as he looked.

Sheng Huan stood up and walked to the wall. Xue Qing behind her was also surprised when she saw someone, and immediately bowed politely.

Sheng Huan: "Gu Zhouyan, why are you climbing my wall?"

Gu Zhouyan, the only son of the eldest princess and her husband, was conferred the title of Prince by the current emperor.

He has a good family background and is the original owner's fifteen-day-old cousin. However, the two of them don't have much interaction, after all, one is in the palace and the other is outside the palace.

And this Gu Zhouyan is a well-known little bully in Beijing, and he almost walks sideways in Beijing.

"My things fell up there, so I came up to pick them up." The young man said confidently.

"Falling on the wall?" Sheng Huan said with a half-smile: "Why don't you say it fell on my side? Do you think I believe it?"

When Sheng Huan saw Gu Zhouyan, he remembered that the eldest princess's mansion was next to the original owner's princess's mansion.

The girl under the wall has fair skin. She looks up with beautiful eyes that seem to be blazing with fire.

Gu Zhouyan used his strength to sit directly on the rock wall.

He clapped his hands and glanced at the princess's mansion thoughtfully.

"You have a point. Maybe the wind really blew you here."

Sheng Huan's mouth twitched.

"Hey, Feng Ning." Gu Zhouyan didn't seem to notice and was very curious: "What were you talking about with those craftsmen just now? It seemed quite interesting."

"You eavesdropped?" Sheng Huan raised an eyebrow

"No!" Gu Zhouyan immediately shook his head: "I just came up, it happened."

Sheng Huan didn't know whether he believed it or not: "Want to know?"

Gu Zhouyan nodded.

"I will not tell you."

Sheng Huan chuckled, “Hmm,” and returned to the table to sit down.

Gu Zhouyan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Feng Ning, just tell me. I won't climb walls anymore."

Sheng Huan drank a cup of tea slowly.

"Xueqing, keep an eye on the little prince. Don't let him accidentally fall and hit the flowers and plants in my palace."

Xue Qing suppressed her laughter and said, "Yes, Princess, I will definitely take good care of the young prince."

The young prince could see that Sheng Huan was watching the show.

He was angry for a moment, but no, it seemed that he was not angry.

"Feng Ning, just tell me, tell me."

The young prince sat on the wall, repeating the same thing over and over again, with the devil's voice filling his ears. But looking at his posture, he seemed quite relaxed, having changed from sitting to lying down.

If you didn’t know, you would think he was basking in the sun up there.

Sheng Huan was even more relaxed. She drank a cup of tea and looked at him from afar.

The boy was wearing gorgeous clothes, with purple hems brushing against the wall. He squinted his big eyes, looking elegant and carefree. However, the furtive look from the dog was a little... cute.

"Gu Zhouyan."

The young prince opened his eyes suddenly, and when he saw Sheng Huan looking at him, the corners of his lips curled slightly, but he lowered his tone.

"what."

"How's your handwriting?"

"Of course, there is something in heaven but not on earth."

He is extremely confident.

"Is it true?" Sheng Huan looked suspicious. "I heard from my aunt before that you almost scared the tutor away when you were practicing calligraphy."

"What do you mean by scared away? He is just too timid!"

Sheng Huan continued to look doubtful.

The young prince has a bad temper.

“I’ll write it for you!”

"Row."

Sheng Huan waved to him: "Come down quickly."

In order to prove himself, the young prince spun around and jumped, landing beautifully.

He was happy, his face beaming with joy, and was about to come over when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He stared at Sheng Huan's waving gesture and fell into deep thought.

How does this sound like he is calling a puppy?

"What are you standing there for? Come here."

"Let's go to the study."

Sheng Huan thought about it and decided that he had been sitting for too long and needed to move around. It was free labor, so it would be a waste if he didn't use it.

She got up.

"Why should I go to the study with you?" The young prince frowned.

"Forget it if you don't want to go." Sheng Huan said to himself, "If you don't go, my calligraphy will definitely not be good enough."

She walked forward.

"Feng Ning! Don't think I didn't hear you saying bad things about me."

She didn't stop.

The young prince was furious and chased after him.

"Feng Ning, let me tell you. My calligraphy is second to none in the world. No one dares to claim to be first."

"Wow, that's amazing."

Sheng Huan suddenly turned around. The girl's pupils were dark and shiny, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes.

The young prince was following her with big strides, but he didn't expect her to turn around suddenly, and a beautiful face appeared in his eyes.

So close!

"Bang, bang." Something is about to jump out.

After the young prince reacted, he raised his head proudly, and the tips of his ears were a little pink without anyone noticing.

"Well, that's it. Just wait, I'll show you my skills. I guarantee you won't be able to walk after seeing those words."

-

At that time, on the Lin family's side.

"My dear, this is the ten taels of silver that Princess Fengning gave me to buy potatoes." Lin Dakang solemnly put the silver in his hand into his wife's hand: "Your disease can be cured."

"My dear, please don't commit suicide and abandon me and the child."

"Mom, mom!" Lin Xiaohua and Lin Ergou lay in Lin's arms, frightened by the scene just now, and kept crying loudly.

"Mom is fine, Mom is fine."

Lin's eyes were blurry. She clenched the silver in her hand and held the two children in her arms. A feeling of fear surged in her heart.

She almost lost her husband and child.

Fortunately, fortunately my husband came back early.

"My husband, Princess Fengning is a good person. Don't keep her waiting any longer. Send the things over quickly. I won't commit suicide again."

Lin Dakang's eyes were red: "Yeah."

As Lin Xiaohua and Lin Ergou sobbed, the four big words "Princess Fengning" were left in their young hearts.

-

This side of the princess's mansion.

The craftsmen were working in full swing and full of passion.

They were well divided, some working with clay, some with pear wood, and some with metal.

Even though I was sweating profusely, I was still enthusiastic.

"Masters, thank you for your hard work. Let's have some sugar water and tea to quench our thirst first."

The young eunuch stepped forward, and his attitude was not condescending, but rather ordinary.

Although the craftsmen were still a little reserved, they were thirsty after all, so they put down what they were doing and came over.

As soon as you drink the tea/sugar water, you can feel that it is of excellent quality. Some people can't help but drink a few more cups.

By the time he reacted, the tea drinker's dark features instantly turned red.

The young eunuch seemed not to notice his embarrassment and poured another cup for him. "Don't be shy, drink as much as you want. This is allowed by our princess. From now on, when you are doing work in the palace, the princess's three meals will be covered."

The craftsman, whose face was still a little red, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Princess Chitose!"

The others became even more excited and hurriedly rolled up their sleeves and continued to work enthusiastically!

-

Main courtyard, study.

"Here, here's the pen."

Sheng Huan handed the brush to Gu Zhouyan.

Gu Zhouyan took it and thought: "What should I write?"

He wondered if he should write something very high-end, so that he could better demonstrate his talent.

Lest Feng Ning underestimate him.

Sheng Huan took out a copy of "Thousand Character Classic" from the bookshelf. "Thousand Character Classic" is the most basic reading material for scholars' enlightenment.

“Just write the Thousand Character Essay.” Sheng Huan opened it.

Upon seeing this, the young prince immediately looked away as if to avoid suspicion.

"Feng Ning, don't hand it over. I can recite this Thousand Characters by heart, no need to look at it!"

Sheng Huan heard this and looked over. She closed the book and stared at the young prince's face. She didn't think so.

The young prince coughed and said, "You don't believe it?"

"I believe it." Sheng Huan smiled and said, "I memorized the Thousand Character Classic by heart when I was three years old."

"Who isn't?" The young prince was stunned and snorted.

"I will let you see my strength now!"

He wrote with a flourish.

Sheng Huan raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, he didn't lie.

Soon, eight big words were written on the paper: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless."

Gu Zhouyan's handwriting is beautiful, elegant and majestic, and also has a sense of arrogance.

"How about it? Are you impressed?" He looked at Sheng Huan proudly.

Unexpectedly, he saw Sheng Huan frowning. His heart sank, and he looked at his own handwriting. The more he looked, the more he felt that his handwriting was very good. Even the old man, the Taifu, had never criticized his handwriting.

Why is Feng Ning frowning?

"Feng Ning, how is it?" Gu Zhouyan looked indifferent, but he was extremely bothered in his heart.

"It looks good." Sheng Huan came over and asked, "But can you write regular script?"

It is better to use characters that are closer to the characters used in the imperial examinations. The characters used in the imperial examinations in this world are in regular script.

"Of course!"

The young prince thought it was nothing but regular script. He had been learning regular script since elementary school, and the wild words just now were just... The young prince didn't know what he was thinking about. He glanced at Sheng Huan, and his ears turned red. After a while, they turned black again.

baffling.

This time, as soon as the young prince finished writing, Sheng Huan's praise was heard in the study.

"Wow, Gu Zhouyan, I didn't expect your handwriting to be so beautiful."

"You can all take the imperial examination now."

"This is great!"

When the young prince saw her holding the paper, her eyes and eyebrows were curved with joy, and he felt elated.

"That's right, don't you see who I am?"

"Princess." Xue Qing's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "The craftsmen have carved several pieces of wood. I brought them here for you to see."

With a "dong" sound, Sheng Huan heard the words, looked at the young prince, and suddenly moved.

"Feng Ning! What are you going to do?"

The next moment, the young prince was shocked and pressed against the bookshelf by Sheng Huan.

"Gu Zhouyan, your handwriting is so good, do you want to do something big?"
