Empress Dowager Zhou struck the back of Mo Chuan's hand with a cane and shouted: "Let go!"
Mo Chuan remained motionless and stood proudly: "Mother, where are you taking Ning'er?"
"Haha, Emperor, are you asking this question strangely? It was the Ai family who sent the edict to summon Princess Dingyuan to the palace. Of course she will be in the Ai family's palace. Could it be that you faked the edict?" Empress Dowager Zhou said confidently. road.
"Queen Mother!" Mo Chuan choked. He didn't expect that Queen Mother Zhou would actually do this.
He said in a calm voice: "You clearly know that the decree is..."
"The Ai family doesn't know anything. The Ai family only knows that everyone knows that the Ai family made the decree. Tomorrow King Dingyuan will come to the Ai family to ask for someone, not your emperor!"
Queen Mother Zhou's face was full of anger, but Mo Chuan was thoughtful, vaguely guessing Queen Mother Zhou's intentions.
Shen Ning's eyes were even brighter with enlightenment. She lowered her head and hid the smile on her lips, thinking to herself that the Queen Mother Zhou was really a protective mother. On the surface, she beat and scolded her son, but in fact, she was too early. I thought of a way to deal with the aftermath for my son.
She didn't want her son to be blamed for seizing his wife, and she didn't want this royal scandal to spread, so she just tried to push things along.
From this point of view, Queen Mother Zhou's intention to take her away was not malicious.
Mo Chuan had obviously thought of this, and his tense expression relaxed slightly, but he still held her hand.
"Queen mother..."
How could he let her leave his side without any worries? Especially the Queen Mother Zhou was so secretive that even her son could not figure it out.
Empress Dowager Zhou raised her eyebrows: "The Ai family wants to take her to the Buddhist hall and ask her to copy several Buddhist scriptures for the Ai family. Emperor, don't you even allow this?"
"Just copying Buddhist scriptures?" Mo Chuan frowned.
"The Aijia's old eyesight is dim, and the handwriting of the Buddhist scriptures recited before was too small to be seen clearly, so I need to find someone to help Aijia copy it again. Princess Dingyuan has a bright heart, and I think she must have written a good calligraphy. I want to ask you "Are you willing to copy scriptures for the Ai family?" Empress Dowager Zhou ignored Mo Chuan and lowered her head to ask Shen Ning.
"I am willing," Shen Ning replied immediately.
"Emperor, Princess Dingyuan is willing, why are you trying to stop her? Do you think the Ai family will embarrass her? She is the granddaughter-in-law of the Ai family after all. As the queen mother, how can the Ai family embarrass a junior? You put the Ai family in trouble What kind of person do you think he is?”
Queen Mother Zhou was so angry that she coughed repeatedly and couldn't breathe.
The maid next to her was busy patting her back gently.
"Okay, I will trust my mother for once. I only hope that my mother will keep her promise." Mo Chuan slowly let go of his hand and looked at Queen Mother Zhou with a serious look in his eyes.
"Humph!" Empress Dowager Zhou didn't even look at him, turned around, and walked out on crutches.
*
Queen Mother Zhou took Shen Ning not back to her palace, but to the Buddhist hall next to her palace.
"Princess Dingyuan, Ai Jia said in front of the emperor that he will not embarrass you, but will only let you copy Buddhist scriptures. There are a total of 108 volumes of Buddhist scriptures here. When will you finish copying, and when will you leave this Buddhist hall again? Food and drinks will naturally be brought in for you. Reading more Buddhist scriptures and cultivating your mind will be of great benefit to you."
Her expression showed no emotion or anger. She pointed to a pile of Buddhist scriptures stacked high on the desk and said, "To show your respect for the Bodhisattva, you should kneel down and copy them."
Kneel down and copy
Shen Ning glanced at the small mountain of Buddhist scriptures. If she had to kneel down to copy these Buddhist scriptures, her legs would be ruined.
