Shen Ning's handwriting was certainly not ugly, but she didn't know how to use a writing brush. When she saw the crooked handwriting, she felt embarrassed, so she rolled up the paper and threw it into the wastebasket.
She yawned and said with a smile: "Aunt Sujin, I'm sleepy. Can I wait until I wake up to copy the scriptures?"
"This..." Sujin felt speechless.
She had never seen such a bold girl. The Queen Mother had ordered her to copy Buddhist scriptures, but she didn't take it to heart at all. Wasn't she afraid of offending the Queen Mother
"It's very late. Aunt Sujin should go and rest. When I wake up tomorrow, I will naturally copy the scriptures."
Shen Ning looked around, trying to find a place to sleep, but apart from a table, a chair and a Buddhist niche, there were only a few futons left in the Buddhist hall.
Her eyes fell on the futon and she couldn't help but light up.
She spread several futons in a row, then lay on the futons and closed her eyes.
Su Jin stared at her dumbfounded, and for a moment she didn't know how to report this matter to the Queen Mother.
After a while, she saw that Shen Ning seemed to be asleep, so she quietly left the Buddhist hall and went to return to the Queen Mother Zhou.
"You mean, that girl ate and drank enough, then drew a few earthworms and then went to sleep?" Queen Mother Zhou frowned when she heard this, feeling incredible.
But that's not what she really cares about. It doesn't matter whether she copies Buddhist scriptures or not. It's just an excuse to keep her here.
"That's all, let her go. You have given the Ai family a good look at her. She is not allowed to step out of the Buddhist hall, and no one is allowed to enter the Buddhist hall, even if the emperor comes!"
After Empress Dowager Zhou finished giving her instructions, she couldn't help but cough.
Su Jin hurriedly took the cold medicine on the table and delivered it to the Queen Mother Zhou. After the Queen Mother Zhou finished drinking it, she hesitated and said: "The Queen Mother, if the emperor really comes, my servants will not be able to stop him in any way, and the emperor's His martial arts skills are so good that even if he enters the Buddhist hall, the slaves will not notice him."
"You are right." Empress Dowager Zhou pondered for a moment, her eyes fell on the medicine bowl on the table, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "The Ai family was able to recover from a serious illness this time, thanks to the medicine that King Jing'an asked for for the Ai family. medicine."
"Yes, I also heard that King Jing'an knelt in front of the most miraculous doctor in the world for seven days and seven nights in order to seek medicine for the Queen Mother. Only then did he finally move the miraculous doctor and write a prescription for the Queen Mother. The only thing on it is Most of the medicinal materials are precious and rare. King Jing'an traveled half of the Western Chu Kingdom to finally collect the medicinal materials. After returning to the palace, he did not even take a moment to rest. He personally prepared the medicine for you, the Queen Mother. With such a filial grandson as King Jing'an, The Queen Mother is so lucky.”
When the King of Jing'an, Chu Shaobai, was mentioned, both of them smiled. It was obvious that Chu Shaobai was very popular in the palace.
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded slowly, with a loving look in her eyes: "Yes, Shaobai is a good and filial boy. If the emperor could be half as filial as him, the Ai family would have less to worry about."
Su Jin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The Emperor is also filial to the Queen Mother. The decree for King Jing'an to go to the miracle doctor for medicine was given by the Emperor himself. Why did the Queen Mother only accept King Jing'an's favor but give away the Emperor's thoughts?" Ignored it.”
She has served the Queen Mother Zhou for more than thirty years, and is the most trusted person around the Queen Mother Zhou. Her speech is not as timid as the other maids next to her, but much more casual.
Empress Dowager Zhou's face darkened: "Sujin, if you say good things for the emperor again, you will be sent out by the Ai family!"
