Zhou Ying went to Gu Wanningâs bedside and said, âYouâve suffered greatly this time. Letâs put aside everything else first. The most important thing is to take good care of your body.â
âI will. After giving birth this time, my body feels hollowed out. I really have to listen to you and take good care of my body.â
âGiving birth to children is already harmful to the body, not to mention that you gave birth to two children in succession.
âItâs lucky youâre young. If you take good care, youâll be able to nurture yourself back to health quickly.â
âYes.â Gu Wanning nodded.
After chatting for a while, Gu Wanning also asked about Gu Chenglinâs homework. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhou Ying saw she was not in good spirits and brought Gu Chenglin out after a short chat.
âMommy, Iâm looking for Nannan and Yangyang.â Guoguo hugged her thigh with an aggrieved expression when she saw Zhou Ying come out.
Only then did Zhou Ying realize that she had not seen the two little fellows since she came over.
âChunxi, where are the Eldest Princess and the Eldest Prince? Why donât I see them?â She asked Chunxi, who was pouring tea for her.
âThe two of them are now following Grand Scholar Sun to learn.â
âBut the First Prince is too young to understand anything.â
Chunxi smiled and did not answer.
Zhou Ying also understood that learning from Grand Scholar Sun was an excuse. It was to have them get close to Grand Scholar Sun so that they would enjoy studying with him in the future.
It seemed she also had to start looking for a teacher for Guoguo.
Not long after, Zhi Shan and He Jiahui rushed over. After exchanging a few polite greetings, they helped prepare the things for the baby shower.
When almost all the members of the royal family had arrived, the Emperor the Kings walked in and gave the Second Prince a simple baby shower.
After the banquet, Zhou Ying looked at Zhi Shan and asked, âAre you still adapting to life in the palace?â
âItâs alright. Itâs just that itâs difficult to leave the palace.â Zhi Shan replied.
Zhou Ying saw that, although she looked a little depressed, her tone was still light. She knew that she had adapted well.
âDo you know how to write the Great Mingâs calligraphy?â
âI can write, but not well. My second brother said my handwriting is like a dog crawling, like a child who has just been learning.â Zhi Shan blushed.
âYou should practice your calligraphy more. When youâre busy with something, you wonât feel bored and wonât want to go out of the palace to play.
âBesides, calligraphy is great for proving your status in the palace. You have to practice it well.â
âBut⦠the Great Mingâs words are so difficult to write.â
âThen practice. To be honest, my handwriting isnât very good, so I practice for an hour every day.â
Zhi Shan looked at her in surprise and smiled. âYouâre the same as me!â
âNo,â Zhou Ying said, shaking her head. âIf we were to rank both our handwritings, Iâm at least three levels higher than you. Thatâs why you have to practice hard.â
Zhi Shanâs face was filled with disbelief.
Zhou Ying saw this and dipped her hand into the water. She quickly wrote down the words âZhi Shanâ on the table.
It wasnât too good-looking, but it was smooth and pleasing to the eye.
âYouâre lying,â Zhi Shan said in surprise after seeing it.
âNo, look, thatâs top-notch calligraphy. My calligraphy can only be called ordinary.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she pointed at a set of words on the wall.
If she had guessed correctly, the Emperor should have written the words on the wall. They were vigorous and powerful-looking, showing the might and power of his will.
When Zhi Shan saw it, she immediately smiled. That was because she recognized that it was the Emperorâs handwriting.
She felt a little inferior. It seemed that she really should practice more calligraphy.
Otherwise, she would lose face in front of the children in the future.
âHow is Gu Wanning? Is she alright?â Gu Chengrui asked after they left the palace.
âSheâs still in good spirits. Itâs just that her difficult labor has hurt her body a little, and she will have to recuperate well..â
