Quick Wear: I and the Female Match Share the Battle Shirt

It is not uncommon for female officials in the Shangshu Neisheng to be directly selected from outside the palace, but they are generally subject to very strict assessments. There are very few people like Lu Changqing who are allowed in just by looking at a few pieces of calligraphy.

Logically speaking, even if Zhao Zhen really thought that her handwriting was good, he should not have placed her directly in such an important department as the Shangshu Neisheng.

That might be really willful.

In fact, Zhao Zhen was quite willful in the early days of his reign, but later Li Yuanhao taught him how to behave and made him aware of his own weight. He no longer dared to be willful in national policies and official appointments, especially in the military.

Lu Changqing's current job is very simple. He reports to the yamen every day, and then sits there from morning to night, reading memorials with Yang Shanjun and others, and learning how to draft documents.

Every morning, Yang Shanjun would pack up those very important memorials in bags and have them delivered to Chongde Hall. This kind of work was usually done by the eunuchs guarding the door.

But for some reason, Yang Shanjun actually asked Lu Changqing to make the trip that day.

Lu Changqing took the bag from Yang Shanjun with a confused look on his face and asked, "I am not familiar with the situation in the palace. Do you know why I was arranged to go there?"

Yang Shanjun had a strange expression on her face. "The government has specifically asked you to go. Zhang Goudang is already waiting outside. Go quickly."

Zhang Maoze was not a talkative person. After telling Lu Changqing that Zhao Zhen wanted to see her specially, she turned around and led the way in front without saying a word.

Lu Changqing followed Zhang Maze through palace gates and paths. When passing the long path outside Kunning Palace, he met several palace servants who were escorting two girls towards them.

"Your servant Zhang Maoze greets the two ladies."

Seeing this, Lu Changqing also bowed and saluted. While doing so, she raised her head slightly and inconspicuously looked at the attire of the two women.

Their faces looked very young, and the one who was even younger had a slightly bulging belly, looking like she was pregnant.

Just by listening to how Zhang Maze addressed the two people and observing their attire, Lu Changqing could roughly guess the identity of one of them.

Princess Fukang's biological mother was Concubine Miao, but now she should be called Princess Renshou. Considering the current year and the fact that there are no children in the palace, the baby in her belly must be Zhao Zhen's second child, the future Princess Fukang.

"Where are you going, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Maoze replied respectfully: "In response to Madam Yu's words, I am about to return to Chongde Hall to report."

The surname Yu is not a common surname. The only concubine in Zhao Zhen's harem with the surname Yu was Yu Chongyi, who gave birth to the eldest prince. However, her child died at birth.

It is likely that Zhao Zhen had problems with the quality of his sperm. He had a total of sixteen children, but only four daughters grew up, and the remaining ten girls and three boys all died young.

Yu Yin glanced at Lu Changqing, and seeing that she was dressed as a man, she knew that she was the introvert of the Shangshu.

The harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, so Yu Yin tactfully made way and let Zhang Maze and Lu Changqing leave first.

After leaving Miao Yu's sight, Zhang Maoze suddenly said to Lu Changqing: "They are both wives of the emperor. You have a special status. If you meet them in the palace in the future, you must remember to avoid them."

This was another reminder for her to remember her duties and not to have close contact with anyone other than the emperor.

"Thank you Zhang Gou Dang for your advice. I will keep it in mind."

Zhang Maze nodded and continued to lead the way without saying another word.

When he saw Zhao Zhen, he was sitting at the desk grinding ink. He saw Zhang Maze leading Lu Changqing in. After the two of them exchanged greetings, he waved to Lu Changqing.

"Fuying, come here."

Lu Changqing walked over, bowed and handed over the bag in his hand, "This is the memorial sorted out in the government office yesterday, please take a look."

Zhao Zhen picked up the bag with one hand and threw it aside, then ordered Lu Changqing to come closer.

Lu Changqing thought to himself that this idiot wouldn't want to sexually harass him in the workplace. Although he cursed in his heart, he still walked over obediently.

Zhao Zhen took out a brush from the pen holder and handed it to Lu Changqing, who took it without knowing why.

"What does the official mean by this?"

Zhao Zhen stood up with a smile and made room for Lu Changqing.

Lu Changqing stood there without moving, still looking at the other party with a puzzled look.

Zhao Zhen tapped the white paper on the table with his chin and said, "Aren't you good at Feibai calligraphy? Give it a try."

Lu Changqing is indeed good at Feibai style. Not only that, she is also good at regular script, official script, cursive script, etc. However, compared with the latter types of calligraphy, she is not very interested in Feibai style. The reason is that she thinks Feibai style is not good-looking.

Lu Changqing looked at the "exploded" brush in his hand. It was not because Zhao Zhen was thrifty and was reluctant to throw away the brush even though the brush tip was frizzy, but this kind of explosive brush was needed to write Feibai style, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve "white silk showing through" and "parallel dry silk".

Lu Changqing couldn't think of any poem to flatter the leader, so to be on the safe side, he chose "Li Ping's Konghou Introduction".

As soon as Lu Changqing picked up the pen and wrote two sentences, Zhao Zhen laughed softly.

"Fu Ying also likes to play the konghou?"

Lu Changqing put down his pen and stood aside, and replied: "When I was young, my mistress hired a teacher and I studied with my sisters for a period of time."

"It seems that Zhang Qing did not lie to me. Fu Ying, you are really multi-talented."

"You are too kind, sir."

Zhao Zhen walked to the table, looked down at Lu Changqing's writing, and commented: "It has form but no spirit. You don't seem to like Feibai calligraphy?"

Lu Changqing: …

She was really curious about how Zhao Zhen saw the word "Godlessness" in her words?

"Bird-like head and swallow-like tail, with white dots in the horizontal and vertical strokes, the flying brush breaks the white dots, the dryness and wetness are appropriate, as if it was done with a dry brush." ​​She felt that what she wrote was in line with the description of Feibai style. Where is it lacking spirit? It is obviously very standard.

Lu Changqing lowered his head and said, "I am sorry that my skills are not good enough and I have disappointed you."

But after hearing this, Zhao Zhen said in a very happy mood: "Come here, I will teach you how to write."

A red light is flashing above Lu Changqing's head. Please allow this extraordinary girl to be confident.

Could it be that this guy has a crush on her?

The system, who was eager to watch the fun, said in a very appropriate voice: "Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."

Lu Changqing opened his attribute panel and looked at his charm value. Yes, it was still 21, 79 away from the passing score.

"Why would he like me?"

"Didn't you notice the two concubines on the road just now? Don't you think they both look very small?"

Lu Changqing said: "I noticed it, what's wrong?"

"The pregnant Miao Junjun is now fourteen years old, and Yu Junjun is sixteen, which means she was pregnant at the age of fifteen. You also know that it is rare for a woman to get pregnant at the first try, so Yu Junjun, who has been Zhao Zhen's Royal Attendant since childhood, should have started serving him when she was about fourteen or fifteen years old."

Lu Changqing suddenly realized, "I see, you mean Zhao Zhen likes younger girls, right?"

The system responded repeatedly, "Yes! And Bai Fuying is not bad looking. I guess that Deputy Envoy Zhang praised your talent when he introduced you to Zhao Zhen, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to go to the Shangshu for introspection directly. Plus, you are indeed showing some culture now, so it seems reasonable for him to like you."

Seeing that Lu Changqing was standing still, Zhao Zhen waved at her again as if teasing a puppy, and said in a commanding tone: "Come here."

Lu Changqing straightened his back and said seriously, "Your Majesty, it is getting late. There are still many matters to be dealt with in the government office, and Yang Duzhi is still waiting for me to return and report."

Zhao Zhen paused his hand in the air, turned his head to look at the sun that had just risen outside the window, and then looked at Lu Changqing in surprise, as if to say, "Didn't the sun just rise? How could it be late?"

The system made a greasy sound with phlegm stuck in it, "You are the first woman in the world who dares to reject me! Don't even think about escaping from my palm! Parentheses, rub your chin with your hand and lick your upper teeth from right to left with your tongue, parentheses back."

Lu Changqing: ...Sister, can you please not be so dramatic?
