oh!
"Really, did your father really say that?"
"Yes, my father also repeatedly told Yu'er to learn more from the 'old man' Emperor Donghua and remember the lessons learned from the 'old man' Donghua Emperor."
Dongfang Yu'er deliberately called Emperor Donghua an 'old man', thinking that this way he would be higher up in seniority and closer to him. This was also a sign of respect for Emperor Donghua.
But after Emperor Donghua heard the word 'old man', his face darkened slightly. He raised the scroll and tapped Dongfang Yu'er's head, squinting and saying, "Am I really that old?"
Dongfang Yuer asked mischievously: "Emperor, aren't you still old?"
Emperor Donghua paused for a while before replying: "I am indeed very old. I am the oldest immortal among the six realms. I am so old that I have forgotten how old I am."
whee!
Emperor Donghua saw that Dongfang Yu'er was so happy that she was covering her mouth and enjoying herself, and said: "You are a little kid, how will I punish you in the future?"
Dongfang Yu'er thought Emperor Donghua just said it casually, but she didn't know that Emperor Donghua meant it!
The next day, Dongfang Yuer got up early, earlier than Yuzhu and Dingxiang, and stretched out.
Dongfang Yuer did not wake up Dingxiang and Yuzhu, but she combed her men's clothes in front of the mirror and tied up all her hair high.
After finishing dressing up, Dongfang Yu'er put on the official uniform of the commander-in-chief and came to the Mingbook Building with a cheerful look. Shun Dao and Shunyi were dumbfounded when they saw Dongfang Yu'er dressed up like this.
"Sister Yu'er, why are you dressed as a man today?"
Dongfang Yuer smiled and said: "Because I like it!"
"Forehead……"
Dongfang Yu came to the east chamber and quietly opened the door...
Unexpectedly, Emperor Donghua was earlier than him. He was sitting on the cushion next to the jade stone platform, looking at the life book in his hand with concentration. On the stone platform were piles of books and bamboo scrolls with Dongfang Yu'er, half a head tall.
"Good morning, Emperor!"
When Emperor Donghua heard Dongfang Yu'er's greeting, he didn't even look up, and just responded to Dongfang Yu'er with a casual 'hmm'.
Dongfang Yu'er quietly sat down and casually picked up a life book to read. The words on the life book were blurred. It must be some years ago.
"Yu'er, please write a few words for me to see."
"oh!"
Dongfang Yu'er carefully opened the book, wrote her name in the blank space, and handed it to Emperor Donghua for review.
"Yeah! The handwriting is quite beautiful. It seems that Da Siming has worked hard on you." Emperor Donghua praised.
"My father was very cruel to Yu'er when I was young. He forced me, Yu'er, to read and write every day. At that time, Yu'er didn't understand what the use was of learning these things in the uninhabited wilderness!"
"Really? I will be more ruthless than your father!" Emperor Donghua said with a sinister smile.
"What?"
"Are you going to give me the life book on the table to copy for once today?"
"So many..." Dongfang Yu'er asked with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Also, these life books are a few years old, and some of the fonts are blurry. When you copy something you don't understand, just ask me. I will sit here and watch you all day long."
"Damn it! The emperor is better at teasing people than Xu Siming." Dongfang Yu'er cursed with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Emperor Donghua replied sternly: "You are still nagging, I need to increase the dosage."
"No, no, no! Yu'er knows it's wrong, Yu'er will copy it now."
At this time, Mr. Si Mingxing, who compiled the life book in the morning, would come in with a bunch of life books, put them all on the stone platform, and then consciously withdraw.
Emperor Donghua would review the life book at the speed of one glance and ten lines, while Dongfang Yu'er would need half an hour to copy a life book.
Dongfang Yuer asked: "Emperor, where does Jiazi come from?"
Emperor Donghua replied: A, the first of the heavenly stems; Zi, the first of the earthly branches. That is, the heavenly stems and earthly branches match each other in order, from Jiazi to Guihai, there are sixty in total, which means that one Jiazi lasts for sixty years.
oh! So that's the case……
Dongfang Yuer asked: "But Emperor, which heavenly stem is it? Earthly branch?"
Emperor Donghua replied: "A, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui (ten) are the heavenly stems. Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai (twelve) are the earthly branches.
oh! That’s how it turns out…
Dongfang Yuer asked: "Emperor, what is the order of the morning?"
Emperor Donghua replied: Zi hour: 23-1 o'clock, Chou hour: 1-3 o'clock, Yin hour: 3-5 o'clock, Mao hour: 5-7 o'clock, Chen hour: 7-9 o'clock, Si hour: 9-11 o'clock, Noon hour: 11-13 o'clock, Wei hour: 13-15, Shen hour: 15-17, You hour: 17-19, Xu hour: 19-21, Hai hour: 21-23 End."
oh! It turned out that this was the case, Dongfang Yuer wrote them down one by one in her notebook.
Dongfang Yuer asked: "Emperor, the fate of mortals has been arranged by us, so can mortals not be able to change their fate?"
Emperor Donghua replied: "No, they can change their destiny. The fortune book will give them the opportunity to change their destiny. Every time they get lucky, they can change their destiny. Whether they succeed or not is up to them. ”
"That means that people can change their destiny, but they cannot change the way of heaven. Is that right, Emperor?"
"Yes, people can change their destiny, but they cannot go against the way of heaven. It seems that Yu'er is the destined master."
"The destined Grand Master?" Dongfang Yu'er asked Emperor Donghua in confusion.
"The destined Grand Master is born with the power to control destiny."
"But I didn't feel it!"
Emperor Donghua smiled and said: "Fool, how can this power be sensed so easily? It hasn't been stimulated yet."
oh……
Dongfang Yu'er didn't finish copying until sunset, and her hands were so tired that they almost cramped.
…………
On the morning of the third day, Dongfang Yu'er also got up early and came to Mingbook Tower early.
Shunyi and Shundao saw this and asked again: "Yu'er, you are still dressed in men's clothing. Didn't the emperor tell you?"
"Okay, okay!" Dongfang Yu'er replied with a smile.
Today Dongfang Yu'er gently pushed open the door of the east chamber.
Such fear!
Dongfang Yuer thought she had gone to the wrong door.
Today, on the jade table, there are not life books piled high, but exquisite tea sets, on which fragrant scented tea has been brewed.
Emperor Donghua had been sitting on the bamboo mat next to the jade table early. The difference from yesterday was that today Emperor Donghua was not concentrating on reviewing the fortune book, but leisurely sipping tea!
There was a dignified and comely palace maid standing next to Emperor Donghua, who was making tea for Emperor Donghua.
What was so terrifying was the stack of life books on the ground of the east chamber, as high as the hillside, which frightened Dongfang Yu'er and sent chills down her back.
"Emperor, do you want to copy again today? Yu'er's hand hurts and is cramping." Dongfang Yu'er asked in a trembling voice.
"No, today you have to sort out these life books."
"Oh! Let's put things in order!" Dongfang Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief...
"But Emperor, Yu'er will not be reorganized!"
Emperor Donghua picked up the cup of tea, blew it gently into his mouth, took two sips, and put the cup on the tea tray. He replied: "It's okay. I will be sitting here drinking tea all day long. If you don't understand, you can ask me."
"It's the Emperor!"
