Chapter 79
"Then let me teach you how to read?"

The girl on the window sill seemed to have found new fun, looking at Qin Yao expectantly.

Dou'er, who was serving in the room, looked over in surprise.

Seeing that Qin Yao really came in, Aunt Qiao frowned, feeling that something was wrong, "Miss, is this not very good?"

Miss Ding just looks innocent, but she is not stupid. She is the master, and Aunt Qiao has no right to interfere with her decision.

He immediately pouted and said to Aunt Qiao like a child: "It's so boring for me to study alone. Usually when I ask you and Dou'er to study, you scream for mercy. Today I just want to be a teacher. It's rare for someone to be willing to be a student. Don't worry about it." Me, otherwise I wouldn’t be happy!”

Aunt Qiao hurriedly lowered her head and said respectfully: "I don't dare."

"If you don't dare, just back down." Ms. Ding snorted, with a cute and naive look.

Aunt Qiao asked Douer to take care of the good lady and left.

Miss Ding enthusiastically pointed to the stool opposite the desk and asked Qin Yao to sit down. Then she picked up the book and asked Qin Yao if she wanted to read it.

"Okay." Qin Yao smiled and reached out to pick it up.

The bookshelf behind Miss Ding is full of books, ranging from enlightenment picture books to miscellaneous travel notes on the Four Books and Five Classics.

If she hadn't called her in, Qin Yao wouldn't have known that there were so many books in her room.

If you want to understand a new world, books are the most convenient way. Qin Yao knows that such opportunities are rare, so what about being a student?

In this era of knowledge monopoly, if she had not come to work as a bodyguard in the Ding family, she might not have had access to books at all.

There is a bookstore in Kaiyang County, but only students enrolled in the academy and those bachelors with honors can enter.

Therefore, just copying books can allow a poor student to support himself.

But even if the books are copied, ordinary people still cannot afford them.

Qin Yao went to the county town twice before, and she just stood at the door of the bookstore to look at it. A copy of the Three Character Classic of Enlightenment sells for eight coins. Who would be willing to do that?
Maybe children like to play role-playing games.

Because Qin Yao, a student, is so fulfilling in teaching, Miss Ding fell in love with being a teacher.

Qin Yao already had the foundation of the original owner. She knew all the commonly used words. With her own knowledge reserve, the Book of Songs that Miss Ding took out was not difficult for her at all.

After two days of class, I finished reading all [-] poems in the Book of Songs.

Miss Ding was very excited and felt that she had taught a genius.

On this day, one of them was sitting in the room having an elegant lunch, and the other was sitting on a small stool at the door, holding a sea bowl and gulping down the rice.

Miss Ding was inexplicably attracted when she heard the movement coming from the door.

Thinking that her father and brother were not at home, it didn't matter if she lost her manners occasionally, she didn't look at Aunt Qiao's pulled face, and walked out with her own blue and white porcelain bowl of rice.

Dou'er put down an embroidery stool next to Qin Yao, and Miss Ding sat down.

The big one and the little one looked at each other, smiled at each other, and ate together while looking at the blue sky above their heads.

After lunch, Miss Ding asked expectantly: "Ms. Qin, what book do you want to read today?"

Qin Yao pointed to the bookshelf in the room. Miss Ding generously led her in and let her choose.

Qin Yao stood in front of the bookshelf and looked around. Except for the Four Books and Five Classics that she already knew, she wanted to read all the miscellaneous travel notes.

But there is no hurry, there is still time, so Qin Yao chose a novel that is somewhat similar to the unofficial history of the same people, the title of the book is "Secret History of the Harem".

The book is still very new, the book cover is not wrinkled at all, and it is placed in the corner of the bookshelf.

Seeing Qin Yao pull out the book, Miss Ding exclaimed "Ah!", her first reaction was to hurry to the living room to see if Aunt Qiao was there.

I didn't see anyone, so I was relieved. Dou'er can't read, so don't worry.

"How did you choose this one?"

Miss Ding beckoned, signaling Qin Yao to come here by the window, staring at the door all the time, with a guilty conscience, and gave Qin Yao a shameful look.

Qin Yao looked at the title of the book and asked in a low voice: "Forbidden book?"

Ms. Ding was so upset that you knew it, but she didn't ask Qin Yao to put it back, because she wanted to see it too.

"I asked my brother to secretly buy it for me. I like to read unofficial histories, but I don't dare to let my father know. He will be furious if he knows!"

He would also say, how could a girl look at such filthy things? It was an insult to the family tradition, which was very serious.

Qin Yao hissed and fooled the child, "Only you and I know this. God knows and earth knows. No third person will know."

"No, it's the fourth person." Miss Ding corrected in a low voice, "Brother also knows."

The two looked at each other. Ms. Ding's eyes were full of unbearable excitement. Seeing that Qin Yao hadn't turned the pages of the book, she couldn't help but urged: "You read it first, and tell me after you read it."

If there is something you can't see, don't say it.

Seeing her wanting to read and being afraid, Qin Yao wanted to laugh, and guessed in her heart, could this book still have color?

Gee, I’m a little excited just thinking about it.

Qin Yao opened the page with a normal expression. Before reading two lines, Miss Ding asked:
"What are you writing? Does it look good?"

"Miss, I just started watching." Qin Yao helplessly signaled her not to worry and wait.

"Okay, then I'll go out to watch the wind, you watch it first, and tell me after you finish reading." Miss Ding ordered.

Qin Yao nodded, this is a bit too courageous, it's just a book, what can it do?
There is really something!
But it's not the romantic history of some concubine or emperor, but the serious style of writing.

Pseudonyms are used in the story in the book, but anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it is about the entrepreneurial history of the couple who are the current emperor and empress.

Different from the usual husband and wife, the queen empress in this book is a brave and resourceful woman.

On the way to their fortunes, all the highlight moments happened to the Queen.

At the beginning of the fortune, princes from all over the country revolted one after another. In the troubled times, the empress, who was still a noble girl at that time, rescued the emperor, who was just a bastard from a declining family, and gave money, food and horses to help the bastard seize the position of head of the family.

Afterwards, the two families married and joined forces to become the overlord.

The emperor, who became the patriarch of the clan at that time, was very satisfied with this achievement and began to live a luxurious life of aristocrats and rich people.

It was the empress who came forward in person and presented the map of the power of the princes from all over the world in front of the emperor. After analyzing the current situation in the world for three days and three nights, she drew a big cake for the emperor.

After that, the Empress herself served as the coach and led an army of [-] troops from the North to the Central Plains mansion, sweeping across the old capital, laying a solid foundation for the emperor's success in the future.

When reading this part of the novel, Qin Yao felt like a queen and she was about to become the king herself.

However, the situation changed. The Queen Empress, who had already captured the old capital, did not strike further while the iron was hot.

The world's prejudice against women is deeply rooted, and the emperor's staff are afraid that the mistress will seize power.Therefore, the emperor was half forced and half encouraged to establish himself as king first.

The author of the book feels sorry for this, but fortunately, the young couple has a deep relationship and the empress loves each other. After the emperor became king, he did not take back the empress's military power and maintained a delicate balance.

After that, it was a happy ending with the couple working together to regain the lost territory and successfully establish a prosperous country.

At the end of the book, it mentions the separation of powers between the emperor and the empress. The princess wants to be the empress dowager and fights for power with her brothers. She doesn't know who the crown prince will end up with.
