Work overtime

Hearing Jiang Yuebai take the initiative to say that he was not an ordinary person, Han Ziqian had a question on his lips, but he held it back.

Just keep some secrets in your heart, but if you confront them face to face, there will be no room for turning around.

Han Ziqian was silent and said, "Okay. I'll go right now."

He walked to the lamp with the fold, opened the glass cover, lit the carefully written fold and burned it.

When Han Ziqian walked to the door, he heard a gentle warning from behind him, "It's raining outside, Master Han, be careful on the road."

He paused at his feet, feeling warm in his heart. For a moment, he had a ridiculous feeling, as if an affectionate wife was telling her husband who was out at night.

If she had not married into the emperor's family, she would have been a very gentle and virtuous girl from the Gu family.

However, it only took a moment for his body to return to normal. After arranging for Xiao Luozi to come to the room to take care of him, he left on horseback.

After Han Ziqian left, Xiao Luozi followed the instructions and went into the house to wait on him. Li Chun, Li Xia and Baitao also came with him.

After the new couple arrived, Baitao naturally regarded himself as an old man. While showing off and strictly admonishing the new couple, he also cared and loved them very much.

While his enthusiastic, bright and straightforward personality is in sharp contrast to Su Su's calm rationality, they also form a good complement to each other. It's quite a bit like one is a good person and the other is a bad person.

After she entered the door, she led Li Chun to Jiang Yuebai's bed, bowed, and then said in a bright tone, "Your Majesty, this servant has brought Li Chun here."

"Okay. You all are waiting outside the house. I have something to say to her alone."

"Yes, your Majesty," Baitao said to Li Chun after she agreed, "Li Chun, just answer whatever my Majesty asks you later, speak louder, and don't hesitate or mumble. We are going out first, please be careful. Serve the queen, and don’t make her unhappy.”

"Thank you, Sister Bai Tao." Li Chun saluted Baitao quickly, looking a little flustered.

He immediately turned around and knelt upright in front of Jiang Yuebai's bed.

Jiang Yuebai observed them quietly without speaking.

Try to avoid reprimanding old employees in front of new employees, and reprimanding middle-level employees in front of lower-level employees. Even if there are problems with what you say or do, talk about it in private, otherwise it will affect the structure and mood of the entire team.

Jiang Yuebai said warmly, "Get up. The cold rain in the night will hurt your knees."

Li Chun hesitated for a moment, looked up at Jiang Yuebai, then quickly lowered her head and stood up.

Jiang Yuebai looked at Li Chun, who was thin and frail. At first glance, she looked like she had lived a hard life since childhood and was stunted. She remembered that in her previous life, when she was in junior high school, she was skinny and short because her family was poor and patriarchal, and she felt a little gentler in her heart.

"Li Chun, I just heard that your brother is gone, and I feel sad. Do you want to help cook in the small kitchen or wait by my side?"

Li Chun's eyes were red, and tears fell down, "I'm a slave, but it's up to your Majesty's orders."

Jiang Yuebai wiped away the tears from Li Chun's face, and said hard-heartedly, "Have they told you? Taori Palace does not support idlers. If you want to serve me, you must learn to read, write and read." To learn to practice martial arts, the requirements for you are higher than those for others.

If you are in a small kitchen, you must practice your knife skills diligently. You must be proficient in all dishes to be able to pass the assessment of the other two royal chefs and develop the same skills as your brother. Maybe you can afford these hardships? "

Jiang Yuebai just wanted to help her get over the pain of losing her loved ones, and at the same time create opportunities for her to eat nutritious food, grow taller, and keep fit by practicing martial arts, knife skills, and cooking.

"Thank you for your grace. I am not afraid of hardship. I want to read, read and learn martial arts."

What Li Chun wanted to do most was to learn martial arts, not only because Jiang Yuebai's swordsmanship had become a legend in the harem, but also because this was her brother's entrustment before his death, asking her to learn martial arts well to protect his empress.

It's just that she doesn't have confidence in her thin body, so she lacks the confidence to speak.

Jiang Yuebai saw Chef Yu's appearance from her determined eyebrows.

"Learning martial arts is hard, tiring, and you will get injured. You have to practice every day. It will take at least five years to achieve some success. You may not see any results after practicing for a long time. Can you persevere?"

"Yes! This slave is not afraid of hardship." Li Chun stopped the tears in her eyes, her eyes were extremely firm.

As before, Jiang Yuebai will make the other party feel that they have made their own life choices, and then let them set goals, set flags, and express their determination to overcome all difficulties and achieve their goals.

Then point out that the other party's goals are in line with the company's interests, further strengthen the vision and expectations in the other party's mind, and provide specific and effective support measures, so that the other party can only move forward, not retreat, and can only move forward recklessly.

"Very good, ambitious. I really need a loyal and capable personal maid to protect me. But you are too thin now. From today on, I will order the kitchen to add two eggs to you every day. , a cup of milk. Let yourself grow strong and powerful first. In addition to morning exercises, I will ask Xiao Luozi to take you to practice boxing alone. You have to study hard and ask if you don’t understand. Do you understand? "

"Your Majesty, I understand." Li Chun nodded extremely seriously, with fire burning in her eyes.

Jiang Yuebai was very familiar with this kind of light. It was the look in his eyes when he had a goal and was full of energy. "Very good. Now go to the small kitchen, eat eggs, drink milk, and go to bed early. From now on, you must go to bed early and get up early every day to ensure adequate sleep. In this way, you can practice martial arts early to protect me, and don't let me down."

The most important thing for growing your body is not to stay up late during development, and to maintain adequate nutrition and sleep.

Li Chun was so flattered by such good treatment that she couldn't believe her ears and quickly knelt down to thank her.

Jiang Yuebai thought that the biggest obstacle for women to practice martial arts was menstruation, "Are you menstruating?"

Li Chun immediately blushed and felt uneasy. She was afraid that the empress would see the clues, so she buried her head lower and said shyly, "Not yet."

Jiang Yuebai looked at Li Chun suspiciously, and a guess came out, "Tell me the truth, did you lie about your age in order to enter the palace?"

This is the first person to guess Li Chun's secret.

Others thought her short stature was due to stunted refugee development. In fact, he is really young.

If you lie about your age, you will be punished by thirty boards and driven out of the palace. If unfortunately the master is angered, no one will care, even to death. When Jiang Yuebai asked her age on the carriage, she was afraid of being kicked out of the palace, so she subconsciously lied.

Li Chun immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. I lied to you. I am actually nine years old this year. I was four years older in order to enter the palace."

He pretends to be nine years old, but is actually only eight years old.

Jiang Yuebai was very happy to hear Li Chun's actual age.

Being young is a great benefit for practicing martial arts. It is especially better for women to practice Tongzi Kung Fu before menstruation.

And with just these two sentences, Lichun showed extraordinary qualities. She immediately admitted her mistakes, did not shirk responsibility to her brother, explained the process of the matter, and did not make excuses to defend herself.

For these reasons, even if she was not Chef Yu's sister, Jiang Yuebai would look at her differently.

But the tendency to deceive the master must not be encouraged.

Jiang Yuebai deliberately didn't speak, which made Li Chun feel frightened. After being frightened and uneasy, she finally spoke calmly, "Do you still dare to deceive me in the future?"

"My slave is wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

"You deceived me, and I will punish you by cleaning up everything inside and outside this palace from today on. You will be punished by running ten laps every morning and evening. Do you remember the lesson?"

Li Chun did not dare to think that her brother died because of her master, and the master would protect and condone her.

In the harem, it is natural for a slave to die for his master.

Although she was young, she had been in the palace for two years and had heard and seen countless dirty things. There are many slaves and maids who have been beaten, injured and crippled with mats in order to support their masters.

The empress actually did not slap her and expel her from the palace. Lichun burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

"Remember, don't mention your age to anyone in Taorui Palace, otherwise you will be dead. Leave first. Call Xiao Luozi and Baitao to come in."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Li Chun said repeatedly.

She didn't know how to make her empress forgive her for lying and win her trust again.

Jiang Yuebai said calmly, "Step back first. Remember what I just said. You have to work hard to become a useful person to me, and then I will keep you."

"Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely work harder." Li Chun bit her lower lip and made up her mind to start practicing martial arts from today on.

After Xiao Luozi and Baitao came in, Jiang Yuebai explained to them the arrangements he had just made for Lichun.

Baitao was quite envious when he heard that Li Chun could improve her nutrition and get a good sleep every day without working the night shift. But when she heard that the empress wanted to train Li Chun into a martial arts practitioner, she couldn't envy her.

Standing and boxing is really tiring.

After all, Xiao Luozi was a person appointed by the emperor, so he could easily see his master's thoughts at a glance. This was not a punishment, but a way to secretly protect and cultivate Lichun.

Xiao Luozi's respect and admiration for the empress's meticulous love and concern for Li Chun and protecting her self-esteem made Xiao Luozi grow more and more respected. Secretly making up his mind, while training Li Chun, he also practiced hard to improve his martial arts.

After Xiao Luozi hesitated for a moment, he asked for instructions, "Mother, Master Han has been watching from the sidelines during morning exercises these days. Can you please ask Master Han to teach the slaves how to practice martial arts?"
