Chapter 915

Fang Ximei came to the kitchen with water, saw the stove and firewood, held back tears for a long time, and finally fell down.

She didn't understand why she came to suffer and suffer.

What did she do wrong?

But thinking of going to serve the queen to study, she could only wipe away her tears and start to light a fire.

Fortunately, the firewood was already prepared by Baoxing and piled up in the kitchen.

She just needs to use it.

After finally boiling a pot of water, after washing up, the clothes were dirty and had to be changed again.

Finally finished tidying up, when she appeared in front of Yun Dai again, it was almost dark.

Yundai is discussing with Yuzhu what to have for dinner.

Fang Ximei came in with her head down.

"Hey, young lady Jin is finally ready to dress?" Yuzhu smiled mockingly, "It's really not easy, I thought I wouldn't see you tomorrow."

Fang Ximei pursed her lips, came to kowtow to Yun Dai, and said, "Your maidservant is late, please forgive me."

Yun Dai said: "Yu Zhu, go prepare, I will cook later."

"Your maidservant is going now." Yuzhu got up and went out.

Fang Ximei was surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Is your empress still going to cook for herself?"

"Why not? The empress is just a status, and she is also an ordinary person who has to eat and sleep. Is it aggrieved to do some work?" Yun Dai glanced at her, "Get up, I am going to start copying scriptures, you can grind."

Fang Ximei got up and knelt down beside her to grind.

Yun Dai spread out a book of scriptures, lowered her head to copy carefully.

The room became quiet.

At first, Fang Ximei only dared to look at her own hands, but after a long time, she began to quietly look at the scriptures that the empress was copying, as well as her slender, white hands, and the clean and beautiful calligraphy written by her pen.

Fang Ximei was dumbfounded.

She thought it was just a name for the empress to copy scriptures and pray for blessings in Ganquan Temple. Unexpectedly, she was actually copying scriptures seriously here.

On the other side of the table was a thick pile of manuscripts, obviously the queen had already copied a lot.

As time passed, Yun Dai copied seven or eight pages of paper, put down the pen, rubbed her wrists to relax, saw her staring at her, and said with a smile: "Why, look at the ugly handwriting of Ben Gong?"

"No, no, no." Fang Ximei hastily withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The empress's handwriting is very beautiful. The concubine's body is very beautiful when she is watching her writing, so... I beg your forgiveness."

Yun Dai smiled, stretched out her hand to take a drink from the teacup, and asked casually, "Can you write?"

"Not really." Fang Ximei said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Yun Dai was a little surprised, "Your father, Fang Yushi, is Mr. Jing's favorite disciple, and he is also well-educated. Why can't you read?"

"Father said that a woman is virtuous without talent. He just told us to learn a little about women's virtues and precepts, so that we can recognize our own names and not be blind." Fang was a little ashamed.

"Extremely pedantic." Yun Dai knows that the so-called traditional Confucianism is all about controlling women in this way, making women submit to patriarchy forever.

Although she disdains this, the current environment is such that it is difficult for her to change for the time being.

"If you want, you can learn from Ben Gong." Yun Dai said.

Fang Ximei was a little surprised, then couldn't believe it and panicked.

"How can someone like a concubine deserve to be taught by the empress?"

"It doesn't matter. When I am copying the scriptures every day, I am idle." Yun Dai said.

Fang Ximei felt a little complicated when she heard her words.
