After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

After copying scriptures for several days, Zhou Qinghe had dark circles under his eyes and was no longer as energetic as before.

A silk handkerchief was tied around her right wrist, revealing marks of redness and swelling.

She lowered her eyes, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and appeared calm on the surface. There was nothing wrong with her greeting posture.

Qin Yaoguang raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then asked slowly, "Have you finished copying the Heart Sutra? It will be used to pray for the Empress in the palace, so you must not neglect it."

"In reply to the Princess, I have copied thirty-seven copies."

Zhou Qinghe felt resentful.

She rushed to finish the copy, but still had more than twenty copies to go. Her wrist was getting more and more painful, and she was copying more and more slowly.

The hateful eldest princess was being watched, so she couldn't relax at any time. She had to copy scriptures as soon as she opened her eyes in the morning and she couldn't even go to the toilet freely until the evening.

I couldn't finish copying during the day, so I had to continue at night.

There were only candles here, and no matter how many candles were lit, they were not as bright as the modern eye-protection lamps. Her eyes were sore from the smoke, and she overused her eyes, so now she could only see things a little blurry.

All of this happened because of this woman!

"Take me to see it." Qin Yaoguang said.

"Yes."

Entering the room, Qin Yaoguang saw Zhou Qinghe placed the desk in front of the window with the best light, and the brush soaked in ink was placed on the celadon pen holder. On the left was the open Heart Sutra, on the right was a half-copied piece of rice paper, and next to it was a stack of copied and bound Heart Sutras.

She looked around and saw that the Duobao Pavilion was empty and there were almost no decorative objects in the room.

Even the vase on the desk is just ordinary white porcelain.

Qin Yaoguang glanced at Madam Deng, who said, "Your Highness may not know that Madam Zhou mentioned the matter of the salary the other day, so I brought people to Chuntang Garden to take inventory and took back all the things and antiques given by the palace. I registered them and put them back into storage."

The Xiao family has always been good at living.

The objects displayed and hung in Chuntang Garden are all items from the palace, as well as antiques given by the original owner on a whim.

Those without obvious palace marks were sold through Steward Wang for silver, which he saved as private money to reward servants and to give small favors to the five children from time to time in order to win their hearts.

The mother and daughter ate and used the eldest princess's things and lived a prosperous life in the princess's mansion, while at the same time ruining the eldest princess's reputation.

What a good calculation indeed!

Qin Yaoguang said calmly, "I understand."

After listening to this, Zhou Qinghe finally understood why the furnishings in the room were suddenly taken away.

Since Xiao went to Zhufeng Courtyard, she has never returned and has not brought any words with her. Zhou Qinghe knows nothing.

That's it!

Zhou Qinghe thought to herself: That stupid woman, things go wrong as soon as she leaves, can't she even keep a low profile?

Qin Yaoguang walked to the desk and sat down, then took out a copy of the Heart Sutra and opened it carefully.

A copy of the Heart Sutra only had a few hundred words and was a thin volume, so she finished reading it very quickly.

Zhou Qinghe thought she was just randomly checking a few books, but she didn't expect Qin Yaoguang to be in any hurry. She read through them one by one leisurely, took out three books and put them on the other side, saying, "Rewrite these three."

"Yes." Zhou Qinghe didn't dare to distinguish and responded in a low voice.

She herself knew there was a problem, and thought it was impossible to check all of them one by one, so she just left them in there and hoped to get away with it.

Qin Yaoguang stood up and said, "I just found out today that there are such palace items in Chuntang Garden. I was careless. If these things were given to ordinary people, it would only bring disaster."

"Check carefully again, and also take back all the things I gave you from Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou's dressing boxes, and put them back into storage."

what?

Zhou Qinghe could no longer conceal her emotions and her eyes widened in surprise.

Can the things that are given as rewards be taken back?

I have never heard of this truth throughout history!

Qin Yaoguang didn't even look at her and left with her people, leaving Nanny Deng to search Chuntang Garden again.

This time, she wants to take everything back.

She wanted Zhou Qinghe to understand that since she could reward, she could also take it back.

Huamu Hall.

When Guyu heard the news that his master had returned home, he took Chunfen, Shuangjiang and Hanlu to wait at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Qin Yaoguang's figure from afar, she immediately ran forward to greet him: "This servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Everyone, get up."

Qin Yaoguang looked at the four loyal maids and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, you are finally back. I was so worried." Gu Yu couldn't help but ask, "When I'm not here, who will help you wash your face and comb your hair? What are those things you can use?"

"What good can there be out there?" Chunfen looked worried. "Whenever I think about it, I get so worried. Did you get enough rest yesterday?"

Even Shuangjiang, who usually spoke the least, said, "I don't know what he ate, and he still wronged the master to wear such a dress."

Hanlu was not as close as the three of them. She didn't say anything, but there was still worry in her eyes.

Qin Yaoguang had just returned and hadn't had time to change his clothes.

Being surrounded by these four maids and being asked about her well-being, she felt warm in her heart and a smile overflowed from her eyes: "Okay, okay, next time I go out, I will definitely bring you all with me."

Apart from anything else, she certainly didn't sleep well last night.

It is indeed difficult to go from luxury to frugality. She couldn't adapt to the rich life after just a few days.

In modern times, doesn't she go alone wherever she goes?

When I was working in sales, I sometimes had to take the bus for two consecutive days in order to travel quickly. Life was easier in the later period, but it was not like now, where there are people to serve you no matter what you do.

She went back to her room and changed into soft casual clothes. Guyu helped her wash her face with hot water, and she felt much more energetic.

Qin Yaoguang sat at his desk, carefully adjusting the final draft with a pencil.

The paints and other materials are all ready, and she plans to start painting a four-foot horizontal scroll of "Eight Immortals Celebrating a Birthday" tomorrow.

While he was correcting the painting, Chunfen came to report: "Master, Liu Ming sent a batch of graphite pens you requested."

"Oh?"

Qin Yaoguang looked up and said, "Bring it in."

Chunfen took the box from the maid and placed it in front of Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang opened it and saw a row of graphite pens with black barrels neatly arranged inside. All of them were made with replaceable refills according to her request that day.

Compared with the first batch of pens that were made in a hurry, these pens are very exquisitely made. The black pen barrels are engraved with the seal script of the two words "Leyang" using the intaglio technique and painted with gold lacquer.

Below the seal script, there are horizontal lines of varying thicknesses, also outlined in gold lacquer, which looks pleasing to the eye.

I didn't expect that Liu Ming not only had excellent skills, but also had good aesthetic taste.

She took out one and held it in her hand. The pen was smooth and had no burrs, obviously having been carefully processed.

It is also very easy to replace the refill. There is a wooden plug with a gold thread at the end of the pen barrel. Just hold the gold thread and pull out the wooden plug, and you can see the hollow refill slot inside the pen barrel.
