y. Even Big Sister who hasn't been well lately is also pregnant. You only have one eldest daughter, so…" The Empress Dowager spoke with a heavy heart."Giving birth to a legitimate heir as soon as poss..."When" The Virgin murmured, her eyes unable to open.
... when she was putting the elder sister to bed.
Virgin pondered for a moment, then yawned and said, "Oh, it's 'Lullaby'."
"Sing it again, last time...Grandpa didn't hear clearly."
Virgin yawned again, her eyes heavy with drowsiness: "If you didn't hear clearly, what's the important thing, Big Sister just heard it."
Si Ye looked at the drowsy and yawning Weijian, no longer speaking. He turned his eyes away, staring blankly at the white window, his face full of melancholy.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter if he hears clearly or not. He's not a child who needs to be coddled.
Si Ye twitched the corner of his lips self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath and let it all out, then closed his eyes, but the familiar yet strange melody flowed like a stream.
The moon is bright, the wind is still, and leaves shade the windowpanes. Crickets chirp a zither-like sound.
The sound of the qin is light, the tune is pleasing to the ear, and the cradle rocks gently. Mother's baby, close your eyes and sleep in that dream...
……
Virgin had been taking care of the Fourth Master for ten days in the front courtyard. On the eleventh day, the Fu Jin arrived.
This time, Fu Jin fainted from shock. Although she wasn't seriously ill, after taking medicine for a few days, she was almost recovered. However, since the Fourth Master is now weak, Fu Jin dared not visit him while she was still unwell and contagious. She couldn't let her illness affect the precious Fourth Master.
So although my heart was racing and I felt agitated, I still took a few more days to rest. When my body finally recovered, the mistress couldn't wait any longer and rushed to the front courtyard.
When Fu Jin arrived, the virgin was accompanying Si Ye in the study practicing calligraphy. To be precise, she was the one practicing calligraphy.
Fourth Master's internal injuries had healed completely. Even the shocking bruise on his chest was now just a faint mark. Naturally, there was no need for him to stay cooped up in his room day after day. Fourth Master couldn't sit idle, even though he didn't have to go to the study to study. He would still spend his days diligently studying as if he were in the study.
As for the Fourth Master's self-awareness and diligence, Wei Zhen admired him from the bottom of her heart, but...
Just study hard yourself, why bother being so strict with her as well
Virgin held a brush, sorrowfully looking at the man across from her who was intently reading. Not only did he exhaust her physically at night, but during the day he went even further, draining not just her energy but also tormenting her spirit!
Such a vicious heart!
Suddenly, the Fourth Master raised his head, his long and narrow phoenix eyes swept over her mercilessly. Wei Jin immediately lowered her head and continued to practice calligraphy as if nothing had happened, while inwardly wailing.
She came to the front yard to provide companionship, not to attend calligraphy classes!
Besides, her handwriting isn't pretty, that's for sure, but as long as it's legible, what does it matter Why must we demand so much
She's only a single grade. Could it be that the Fourth Master plans to raise her into a female champion scholar!
That's really annoying.
Finally, she finished writing a page and brought it to the Fourth Master. However, the moment he saw it, his handsome face contorted into a terrifying grimace. His brows furrowed so deeply they could crush a fly, and his voice was as cold as a north wind howling on a frigid day.
Si Ye pointed heavily at the character "virgin," frowning and glaring at Wei Zhen: "Tell me yourself, have you made any progress these past few days"
It's so frustrating, he patiently and meticulously taught me step-by-step for several days, but I didn't make any progress at all!
He's even more clueless than Shi Yu!
Wei Zhen shrank her shoulders and whispered, "The Fourth Master is right, but... talent is a difficult thing to say. Perhaps my talents are not in..."
Before the virgin could finish her words, Fourth Master's cool gaze swept over her: "What are you saying Speak up."
Virgin shrunk even more, wishing to hide her head in her chest, her voice barely a whisper: "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything…"
I just feel that the Fourth Master's "fatherly" vibes are even more authentic than her own grandfather's! This whole body of his is practically radiating fatherly essence, it's overwhelming!
It's not just the "dad" flavor, but also the "head teacher" flavor, it's really over the top!
"Restless and agitated, it's a wonder you could even write like that," Fourth Master snorted coldly, too lazy to look at the eyesore any longer. He shoved the paper into Wei Zhen's hands and said in a frigid voice, "From now on, practice five large characters every day."
Virgin's mouth twitched: "...Yes, this servant obeys."
Even when she was in high school, her parents and teachers had never been this strict with her. In fact, her parents were always worried about her stress levels, constantly saying things like "It's okay if you don't get into university, we can just come home and take over the bakery."
Virgin stared at the crumpled paper in her hand, feeling both wronged and angry.
What's scarier than waking up to find yourself in the Qing Dynasty, serving as a concubine to someone
It's not enough to just be attractive, people want you to be skilled in bed too. They want you to be a seductive temptress who can both satisfy them physically and paint beautiful pictures with her words.
Oh! My goodness, you have no heart!
Feeling wronged and angry was useless. The virgin, unable to express her anger, could only lower her head and return to her side of the table, continuing to practice calligraphy in a gloomy mood.
The Fourth Master once again lifted the book and continued to read with concentration, but as he was reading, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the opposite person.
Wasn't he a bit too harsh just nowevastatingly charming."I am here."Virgin stared intently, missing no fleeting expression on the Fourth Master's face. Suddenly, she lowered her head and gently bit his protruding Adam's apple.Si Ye st...
