After eating and drinking, Hua Manman burped, feeling very satisfied.
The maids came in to clean up the dishes.
Li Ji picked up the military book that he hadn't finished reading earlier, and handed it to Jin Shu who was in charge of taking care of the study.
"Put this book back."
"Here."
Jin Shu held the book and turned to leave.
Hua Manman's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "My lord, can I go to the study to have a look?"
The study is the place where King Zhao used to handle official affairs. There are many confidential materials in it. It is one of the most important places in the palace. On weekdays, except for the prince himself, only a few people who are trusted by the prince can enter.
Others will be warned if they just approach the study, let alone walk into the study.
There used to be a person with malicious intentions who wanted to sneak into the study to steal things, but was caught by the royal guards and beat him to death. The blood flowed all over the floor, and the servants took a long time to wash it up.
Hua Manman rashly made such an abrupt request, which immediately made everyone present pause.
The scene where the blood flowed all over the ground can be vividly remembered. Is Hua Ruren going to repeat the same mistakes today
Li Ji turned a blind eye to the reactions of the people around him.
He asked casually, "What do you want to do in the study?"
Hua Manman answered without hesitation.
"Reading."
Li Ji looked her in the eyes and found that she was not lying.
Knowing this, Li Ji became a little interested.
"Let's go, my king will go with you."
Hua Manman was overjoyed, immediately pushed the wheelchair, and left the dining hall with King Zhao.
Most of the books in the study are naturally books.
Among them, military books are the most, followed by all kinds of scenery and travel notes, and some miscellaneous books.
Hua Manman has no interest in art of war.
After getting permission, she went straight to the shelf where miscellaneous books were placed.
Li Ji sat in the wheelchair, quietly watching her back.
She is tall and curvy, even if she only looks at her back, she can still be seen as a rare beauty.
But she herself has no self-consciousness as a beauty.
After she found a book she was interested in, she immediately sat down on the floor and flipped through it seriously, her posture was quite casual and natural.
Jin Shu gently placed an oil lamp beside her.
Realizing that the light suddenly brightened, Hua Manman immediately raised his head and looked at Jin Shu with a smile in his eyes.
Jin Shu reminded softly: "Reading at night will take a toll on your eyes, and it will be more comfortable if there is a light."
Hua Manman said sincerely: "Thank you."
But Jin Shu said: "You don't need to thank your slaves and maidservants, as slaves and maidservants are also ordered to do things."
Jinshu, like Jinxiu, is a first-class maid in the palace.
The only person who can order them is King Zhao.
Hua Manman turned to look at where King Zhao was, but saw that he was sitting in a wheelchair with a book on the desk in front of him.
He propped his side face with one hand, lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on the pages of the book, and a strand of long hair fell down his cheeks.
The warm yellow candlelight shone on him, as if adding a layer of soft light to him.
It made him less sinister and more peaceful.
Noticing that someone was looking at him, Li Ji raised his head and met Hua Manman's eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?"
Hua Manman immediately stood up, ran over with the book, and asked eagerly.
"My lord, I don't know a few words about my body, can you teach me about my body?"
She didn't just make excuses at random, she really didn't know some words.
Most of the characters in the Great Zhou Dynasty were similar to traditional characters, but a few characters were different from the traditional characters she had encountered before traveling.
