Previously, Xie Ziyue planned to find a reading companion for her daughter. Although Lin Xizhao, whom she was interested in, was rejected because she was looking at someone else, there was still a noble girl next to her.
Xie Ziyue thought about it and thought of He Baoer, the daughter of Zuodu Yushi that day.
At that time, Xie Ziyue had never thought of choosing He Baoer, but Lin Xizhao aside, it was clear that He Baoer's status was the reason why he was chosen by a noble woman of the same age.
What's even more commendable is that Miss He is very oriented towards Gu Xuan and is very clever.
So when Gu Xuan went to school again, He Baoer was beside her.
Although He Baoer was told by her mother to respect the eldest princess before entering the palace, as soon as she and Gu Xuan exchanged a few words, she felt that the eldest princess was very easy to get along with.
As a result, the two quickly became good sisters. One of them forgot her identity as a courtier, and the other forgot her identity as the eldest princess, and they winked at each other several times in class.
Gu Xuan folded a paper frog out of boredom. He Baoer was so shocked that he forgot his mother's instructions and even begged Gu Xuan to teach him.
The female master's voice made Gu Xuan drowsy. He Baoer said he wanted to fold paper frogs, and she became energetic and taught her carefully.
He Baoer quickly learned it and applied what he learned. He quickly folded all the books in front of him into paper frogs. He even excitedly picked up the books and showed them: "Princess, look, I am good at folding, right?"
Who knew that Gu Xuan, who had been teaching her enthusiastically just now, was now sitting upright and not squinting.
"Princess?" He Baoer thought Gu Xuan didn't hear her, so he raised his voice again.
But this time Gu Xuan still ignored her.
Monk He Baoer was confused and felt Gu Xuan pointing at her with her finger under the table.
He Baoer cast her gaze to the bottom of the table, and when she raised her head again, the handouts on her table had disappeared.
Just as she was looking around, she heard the lady's gloomy voice above her head: "Miss He, did you fold this?"
He Baoer was shocked when he heard this voice. He raised his head and looked at the lady, and nodded blankly.
Hearing this, Gu Xuan sighed in her heart, He Baoer was still too honest.
But before she could think too much, the next second, the lady's eyes fell on her table - Gu Xuan also folded paper frogs.
Gu Xuan's expression was serious, her face full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, she brought out the spirit of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist to the extreme, "Master, these are all made by Miss He."
He Baoer's eyes widened and he looked at Gu Xuan in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the princess had betrayed him like this.
But thinking that he was the princess's companion and should relieve the princess' worries, He Baoer struggled for a long time and swallowed the excuses that came to his mouth.
How could the female mistress not understand this little thing about them? However, she thought that she could not punish the princess severely, so she asked the two of them to copy the contents of the book.
This made Gu Xuan scratch her head. She didn't have a good grasp of the brush. If she made too many strokes, her written words would be a mess.
It's okay to deal with it, father. If the content of the penalty copy given to the wife is like this, won't it be sent back and rewritten?
So Gu Xuan looked sad after school. Seeing this, He Baoer asked, "Princess, don't you want to copy?"
Gu Xuan glanced at her. Although she said nothing, the meaning in her eyes was very clear.
——Do you have any good ideas?
He Baoer chuckled, "I can copy it for you."
"It's not practical," Gu Xuan curled her lips, "Madam will check it out. When it is found out, we will be finished. We will be fined double the amount of money."
A young lady was also punished for copying before. The handwriting she copied was not her own. After the lady found out, she reprimanded her and made her make double copies.
During that time, her eyes were all dark, which showed that she stayed up late at night.
He Baoer is still so young, Gu Xuan doesn't think she has awakened the skill of writing two different handwritings.
"That's right," He Bao'er shook his head, "Then I can't help you, princess."
"How did you learn Chinese calligraphy?" Gu Xuan endured it again and again, but decided to ask for advice.
Everyone is six or seven years old, why are they so uneven? He Baoer seems to have a lot of fun on weekdays.
"My mother taught me," He Baoer replied without thinking, "Didn't your mother teach you?"
"My father taught me," Gu Xuan thought about it carefully. It seemed that Xie Ziyue rarely taught her to write. "My mother-in-law didn't teach me."
Is it because of this? Would it be better if my mother taught me?
"Oh," He Baoer suggested, "Then let your mother-in-law teach you, maybe you can do it."
So after Gu Xuan returned from school, she pestered Xie Ziyue to teach her how to write.
"Why are you thinking about writing all of a sudden? Doesn't your father also teach you?" Xie Ziyue was knitting a hat, but she unexpectedly got entangled by her daughter. She looked helpless at the moment.
"My father has little education," Gu Xuan said aggrievedly, "Mother, concubine, I was punished by my wife to copy books today. I can't write."
All I know how to write are simple words, and complex words look like smudges of ink. How can I make a difference?
"You were punished by the wife?" Xie Ziyue never thought that there would be a lawsuit, and immediately put down the hat she was knitting, "Why did she punish you?"
Gu Xuan crawled into her arms and said with a smile: "Because I folded a paper frog."
As he spoke, he took out his sleeves and took out a paper frog to show to Xie Ziyue.
"You're still young, don't copy. When you're older, you'll be able to practice calligraphy faster." Xie Ziyue picked up the paper frog and looked at it. I have to say that Gu Xuan's paper folding skills are pretty good, and they are very neat. , she read it and praised:
"My obedience is my ingenuity."
Ever since Gu Xuan went to a girls' school, she had often asked her about her situation in the girls' school. She was not very happy to learn that there were always people complaining in front of Han Xianzong.
Studying is something only older children can do. Gu Xuan is still so young, why should she have such high requirements?
If it weren't for Han Xianzong's insistence, she would have wished that Gu Xuan would be by her side every day like she did when she was a child, clamoring to play kite every day.
So that night, Gu Xuan didn't need to worry about copying at all. At that time, Mu Xie Ziyue urged her to take a bath and then slept with her in her arms.
Before going to bed, she felt a little uneasy. She turned around and looked up at Xie Ziyue: "Concubine, what should I do if my wife scolds me tomorrow?"
Xie Ziyue didn't even open her eyes and patted her back: "I will follow you tomorrow and she won't scold you."
Staring at her daughter as if she were looking at the sky, a good child will become a nerd in the future. Xie Ziyue herself is not a talented girl, and all she wants from Gu Xuan is to be happy.
She was still unhappy when she finally got back from school and had to make copies. She didn't even have time to spend with her.
"Mother, I love you the most." Gu Xuan hugged Xie Ziyue tightly in excitement. Even her dreams were sweet that day.
