The characters in this world were also pictograms. Even though they were different from Chinese characters and required a period of time to learn to write, it wasn't difficult to learn how to read.
You just had to compare the characters in this world with Chinese characters.
Knowing which characters to compare with saved a lot of effort.
Ren Baqian's main goal was to learn how to read and not write.
Every time Lin Qiaole wrote a word, Ren Baqian would compare it with his memory and write it twice. Then, he nodded and said, "Got it, next."
Lin Qiaole was surprised that he learned forty to fifty words in one afternoon.
"Have you really memorized them?" Lin Qiaole asked curiously.
Ren Baqian found all the words that he had just written, pointed at them one by one and said, "This is Da, this is Yao, this is Her Majesty, this is Her Majesty …" After saying them one by one, he folded his arms and looked at Lin Qiaole's slightly opened mouth in surprise. A sense of pride arose spontaneously.
At this rate, he would be able to learn most of the words in about two months. After all, there were only three to two thousand commonly used Chinese characters. As long as he could learn three to two thousand words, he would be able to say goodbye to being illiterate.
At night, he told the empress a story. The next day, he took a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candies to learn from Lin Qiaole.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ren Baqian felt that Lin Qiaole's eyes were flickering when she looked at him.
Could it be that she was shocked by my super fast learning ability? Ren Baqian was slightly pleased with himself.
In any case, he graduated from university. Coming to this world and shocking a woman with his super fast learning ability wasn't something to be proud of.
At this point, Ren Baqian calmed himself down and began to learn diligently.
At night, he finally understood what Lin Qiaole's flickering eyes meant.
The empress was lying on the couch and elegantly took out a piece of White Rabbit Creamy Candies from nowhere. At that time, Ren Baqian's eyes almost popped out. How did this thing fall into the hands of the empress?
Lin Qiaole, that silly and adorable looking fellow, actually sold him out? Although it was just a few pieces of candies, this thing wasn't available in Dayao. Ren Baqian took out such a rare thing to bribe her but didn't offer it to the empress. What would the empress think?
Ren Baqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he watched the empress remove the wrapper and place the milk candy in her mouth. He took three large steps forward and raised a handful of milk candy above his head. "I have a gift for Your Majesty. These are some milk candies that I have painstakingly obtained. Although they are not very precious, they are exquisitely made and taste sweet. I dare not keep them for myself, so I have specially come to offer them to Your Majesty. "
Qing Yuan covered her mouth and chuckled as she took the handful of sweets away. The empress looked at Ren Baqian and said, "At least you know what's going on. What's this called? "
"Milk candies!" Ren Baqian wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, he had brought more today. Sometimes, he would also eat a piece. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for him to get through tonight.
"From now on, I'll give you one dou every month," the empress said casually.
"Yes," Ren Baqian answered honestly with his head lowered. A bucket weighed more than six catties. One bucket per month. Was this person eating candy like rice?
In the future, the empress would toss White Rabbit Creamy Candy into her mouth before she fought with anyone. This didn't seem right.
When he was talking about the Investiture of the Gods today, Ren Baqian noticed that the empress's mouth didn't seem to be idle. Every now and then, she would put a White Rabbit Creamy Candy into her mouth. Furthermore, looking at her expression, she seemed to be enjoying it.
This made Ren Baqian suddenly realize that this empress had a special characteristic. She loved to eat sweets.
Previously, she loved to eat steamed pork in double scoop and the like.
At this moment, Ren Baqian felt that some of the empress's gluttonous traits seemed to have awakened.
He hoped that in the future, she wouldn't find trouble with him when she had a toothache from eating candy.
"You said that you are also proficient in poetry, right?" the empress suddenly asked when he was about to leave after he finished his story.
Without waiting for him to reply, she continued, "I remember now. Bright moonlight in front of the window, two pairs of shoes on the ground. Was this what you recited at that time?"
Damn it! Upon hearing this, Ren Baqian finally knew why he was almost dragged out and beheaded when he first met her.
"It's a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. Bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, two pairs of shoes on the ground. "Ren Baqian's forehead was full of sweat again.
"In a few days, some people will be delivering gifts. When the time comes, you will help to receive them," the empress said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ren Baqian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he would be given such a task. However, he still hurriedly agreed to it.
Following which, the empress sat on the couch and frowned. Ren Baqian had no choice but to wait for her.
"When the time comes, if there is someone … suppress their arrogance. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded." After a while, the empress's voice continued to be heard. "If you lose the face of Dayao, you should know the consequences."
Ren Baqian was puzzled. What did she skip at the beginning? If there is someone, suppress their arrogance? However, the latter part of the empress's words made his heart tighten. He knew that the empress in front of him was definitely not joking with him.
He quickly raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, may I know who is coming? What's the matter? "
"You will know when the time comes. I will get someone to inform you and arrange an identity for you." After the empress finished speaking, she waved her hand and said, "You may leave."
After Ren Baqian left the palace, his mind was still at a loss. What kind of person? Suppress their arrogance?
It should be easy to receive them. The most troublesome thing was to suppress the other party's arrogance. From the empress's tone, it seemed that she didn't like the people who came. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to suppress their arrogance.
But who was the other party? What was his identity? How could he suppress them? Ren Baqian had no idea about any of these.
However, after combining the empress's last sentence, Ren Baqian understood something. In any case, he couldn't lose the face of Dayao. If he did so, he would definitely suffer.
As for the rest, he had to understand what was going on first.
After returning to the beast park, Ren Baqian immediately went to look for Caretaker Shi.
"What's going to happen during this period of time?" Ren Baqian asked.
Caretaker Shi was a little confused. He didn't understand what Ren Baqian meant.
"Today, Her Majesty said that someone will be coming to deliver gifts during this period of time …"
Caretaker Shi pondered for a long time and counted with his fingers. Finally, he came to a realization and patted Ren Baqian's shoulder. "So, it's Her Majesty's birthday celebration."
"Ah?"
"Every year, many people from Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation will come to celebrate Her Majesty's birthday. Many of them are the sons of those so-called aristocratic families. However, their physiques are like little chicks. It's not enough for me to strangle them. "
Ren Baqian felt that his physique was like that of a little chick.
"However, why are they coming to celebrate Her Majesty's birthday?" Ren Baqian was puzzled. If the officials from Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation were here to deliver gifts, it would be understandable.
However, what were those so-called aristocratic families doing here?
