The emperor wants to flip my brand every day

Chapter 67 The Life of Salted Fish

Before Shangguan Yuanyuan had time to find an excuse to go back to her bedroom, Li Zheng asked the imperial eunuch Deshun to arrange breakfast for her in the imperial study.

These breakfast meals seemed to have been carefully prepared by the imperial chef. There were many kinds of them, and they were delicious in color, fragrance and taste. Shangguan Yuanyuan soon immersed herself in the world of gourmet food.

After she was full, she only felt that life was as happy as a fairy.

Li Zheng was sitting not far from her reviewing the memorial. His movements were very light, but his presence was very strong.

Shangguan Yuanyuan supported her head and watched Li Zheng busy.

She just thought it was too eye-catching, and she couldn't move her eyes away.

Perhaps her eyes were too hot, Li Zheng raised his eyes from the memorial, his eyes met, Shangguan Yuanyuan quickly made a conscious effort to recognize her head.

Li Zheng's voice sounded, "It's so far away from me, can you see clearly?"

Shangguan Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat, was she being teased by the tyrant?

Swallowing, Shangguan Yuanyuan looked at Li Zheng again.

Li Zheng looked at her with a half-smile, and she looked at him, and stammered to explain to herself: "I...I'm looking to see if you need to grind ink."

"You want to study ink for me?" Li Zheng raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes.

"Anyway, idleness is idleness..." Shangguan Yuanyuan's face burned when Li Zheng looked at her like this.

As soon as she got up to get close to the dragon case, Li Zheng laughed softly, and Shangguan Yuanyuan gave him a stern look, but she saw Li Zheng calling out to the door of the imperial study: "Deshun!"

"The slave is here." The imperial eunuch hurried into the imperial study, waiting respectfully for Li Zheng to dispatch him at any time.

Li Zheng said to Deshun indifferently: "Go and collect some interesting scripts."

"Your servant obeys." Deshun bowed and said goodbye.

Shangguan Yuanyuan didn't understand why Li Zheng asked the imperial eunuch Deshun to collect scripts.

Could it be Li Zheng's hobby?

She has come to Li Zheng's dragon case.

Li Zheng used the imperial inkstone dedicated to the emperor, and the edge of the inkstone has the unique totem of the Tianmu Dynasty.

There is also learning about ink sticks for grinding ink.

Shangguan Yuanyuan is very interested in archeology and history.

For example, the ancient papermaking technique and the origin of ink, she also knows some of these techniques.

The ink is made by pounding fine smoke and sieving it.

One catty of tobacco powder and five taels of good glue, soaked in the ash bark juice, plus five egg whites, and one tael of cinnabar, two taels of rhinoceros, finely blended in, put into an iron mortar, and pounded [-] times .

Each ingot of ink should not exceed two or three taels, it is better to be small than large...

Shangguan Yuanyuan's hand just stretched towards the ink stick, when suddenly, Li Zheng stopped him, "Don't move."

Shangguan Yuanyuan paused, "I'll grind ink for you!"

Li Zheng frowned, "No need."

"I won't clumsily break your ink stick and inkstone..." Shangguan Yuanyuan felt aggrieved.

Why is Li Zheng so stingy all of a sudden!

Li Zheng didn't answer her question, but he took her hand with one hand, took out a handkerchief with the same color as his dragon robe, and wiped it carefully on Shangguan Yuanyuan's fingers. with.

Only then did Shangguan Yuanyuan notice that she touched a handful of ink sticks just now, and her fingers were stained with ink.

Li Zheng wiped her fingers very carefully.

Shangguan Yuanyuan stood there in a daze.

So, is Li Zheng afraid of getting his hands dirty?That's why you didn't let yourself touch it?She wanted to ask, but didn't ask.

It wasn't until the imperial eunuch found the script and came back that Li Zheng let go of her hand and said to her, "When you're bored, read the script to pass the time."

"Shangguan beauty, these are the latest booklets, and they are the most popular in our Tianmu Dynasty!" The former imperial eunuch Deshun held a stack of thick booklets in front of Shangguan Yuanyuan as if offering a treasure.
