Chapter 9: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Palace Maid
Chuli was so ashamed that she just wanted to stay where she was.

It's so embarrassing. I was so ready to throw myself into his arms, but it turned out to be all my imagination.

Shen Yan teased her deliberately and felt in a good mood. He saw her standing there with her ears and face red.

He couldn't help but smile.

He was sitting on the dragon chair, preparing to review the memorials, and seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, he asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you come and help me grind?"

Chuli gritted her teeth and walked over.

But this emperor is really dedicated. It's already 1 a.m. in the real world at this time, and he is still working overtime.

Who wouldn't go crazy if this happened to them?

The only problem is that she really doesn't know how to grind.

There is no such thing as grinding in reality, it's all just stained with ink.

Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to start.

Chu Li was slow, looking at Mo on the side and seemed to be at a loss as to where to start.

How did this step come about?

She picked it up and put it down, put it down and picked it up again.

When she met Shen Yan's puzzled eyes, she smiled awkwardly.

"Is this really your first time?"

Chu Li nodded: "This is my first time."

Shen Yan shook his head and sighed. He never expected that even though he was the emperor, there would be a day when he would need to study on his own.

"I'll teach you."

Hatsuri clearly hid aside to watch his demonstration, but when she looked up, she only saw his dark face.

At this point, the system was extremely anxious.

In his mind, he shouted angrily: "You are not doing your best. The emperor is teaching you first! Susu, why are you hiding? You don't seize such a good opportunity! Who is going to conquer whom?"

Only then did Hatsuri realize how much she regretted taking a half step back.

I'll fight for this chance back!
Chu Li took a step forward and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, then you teach me."

Shen Yan was a little confused about her sudden change of attitude.

Weren't you very resistant just now?

Shen Yan tried it out first, and then asked Chu Li to do it herself. Well, she missed this opportunity.

Hatsuri could learn something quickly, but in order to win over the emperor, she had to pretend not to understand it.

She pretended to be clumsy and made mistakes on purpose, causing Shen Yan to sigh repeatedly.

She came to this world with ambition, to complete her own mission, and she came for the emperor.

But this road is a bit difficult to walk on, and she has to complete it step by step on her own.

After making several mistakes, Shen Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He simply held her hand and ground it bit by bit, and only let go after the ink came out.

The sudden closeness of skin made Hatsuri feel strange.

Somehow, she felt a little shy.

Shen Yan realized that he had crossed the line, and immediately sat back on the dragon throne and began to read the memorials, so as to appear that he did not care.

"The research is good. I'm going to get down to business now."

Suddenly, a eunuch came in with a bottle in his hand.

He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the ointment I just got from Doctor Liu."

Shen Yan waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Hatsuri was shocked. She had forgotten that her hand had been hit when she was grinding.

It turns out that he still remembered and even got medicine for himself?

Shen Yan handed the medicine to her and said in a light voice: "Take it back and apply it twice a day, and your hand will be fine. If you don't apply the medicine in time, it will easily become inflamed and ulcerated. I just don't want to forget everything because of the problem with your hand after I taught you how to grind it with great difficulty."

Although he said this to hide his concern for Hatsuri.

But this was good, and Hatsuri received it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about me so much. I am deeply touched."

The hours passed slowly and it was already late at night.

Chuli then returned to her bedroom to rest.

Meanwhile, the imperial concubine in the palace learns that Hatsuri is alone with the emperor.

They were all furious...
