However, she still replied respectfully: "Yes, the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Zhou still didn't look at her, and paused with her crutch: "Sujin."
A palace maid in her forties came over and saluted: "My servant is here."
"You are here to serve Princess Dingyuan and copy scriptures. Please try your best to satisfy any needs you have, but don't let her step out of the Buddhist hall, otherwise the Ai family will chop off both of your feet. Do you understand?" She said in a stern tone.
"My slave understands." The palace maid replied immediately.
Shen Ning knew clearly in her heart that the Empress Dowager Zhou said that it was called serving, but in reality it was surveillance.
However, she had no intention of leaving the Buddhist hall. It was not a bad thing to copy scriptures here quietly. It was a hundred times better than returning to Dingyuan Palace to face that scumbag Chu Shaoyang.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Seeing Queen Mother Zhou slowly leaving, she bowed to her back.
Empress Dowager Zhou paused, turned back slowly, and looked at Shen Ning condescendingly, with neither happiness nor anger on her face: "Oh? What do you want to thank the Ai family for?"
Shen Ning smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I would like to thank the Queen Mother for your support."
"Perfection?" Empress Dowager Zhou smiled coldly: "Do you think the Ai family will make everything possible for you? You are wishful thinking!"
She hit the ground hard with her cane and left without looking back.
With a "bang" sound, the two doors of the Buddhist hall were tightly closed.
Shen Ning turned around with a smile, walked to the desk, and opened a Buddhist scripture.
"Princess, are you going to start copying scriptures now? I will grind the ink for you." The palace goddess named Su Jin said respectfully.
She had a dignified appearance. Although she was just over forty, she had a mature and solemn look on her face. She secretly looked at Shen Ning through the candlelight in front of the desk.
A big event happened in the palace today. Almost no one knew about it. She naturally knew who Shen Ning was.
But like Empress Dowager Zhou, she never expected that the emperor would steal her nephew's princess. Could this princess be a vixen that even the emperor, who had never been close to women, was tempted
At this time, when I looked closely under the lamp, I felt that she was as beautiful as jade. What was rare was that her eyes were clear, with a touch of innocence and laziness.
She suddenly felt a feeling of pity for me, let alone the emperor.
It was getting late at this time, and there were more than a dozen huge bright candles lit in the Buddhist hall, which was quite bright.
But Shen Ning had no immediate plans to copy scriptures.
She looked at Sujin with a smile.
"Aunt Sujin, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat? Even if you have to use a donkey to grind, you have to feed the donkey before it can work. Aunt Sujin, don't you think so?"
Su Jin couldn't help but find it funny: "Yes, I will prepare food for the princess immediately."
She walked to the door of the Buddhist hall, knocked on the door twice, and then whispered a few words to the outside.
Soon, the palace maid outside brought in a plate of snacks and tea.
Shen Ning was not polite. She ate a few snacks and drank a sip of tea, and soon she was full.
After a while, Su Jin saw that she had not started writing, so she couldn't help but ask: "When is the princess going to start copying scriptures?"
"Then let's start now."
Seeing that she couldn't shirk it, Shen Ning walked to the table room, picked up the brush and wrote a word on the white rice paper.
This was the first time in her life that she wrote calligraphy.
Su Jin stood beside him studying ink, looking baffled. Didn't he agree to copy the scriptures? Why did the princess draw earthworms
Of course, she never dreamed that the princess, who looked ice-snowy, smart and wise, would have such ugly handwriting.
