"When a person is old, his body is getting worse day by day, and he is just lingering on his last breath."

The Empress Dowager sneered, said self-deprecating and sad words, and put the teacup on the square table.

"Empress Dowager, the world is uncertain now, as long as you are here, no matter whether it is foreign ministers or the royal family, you must always be more peaceful. You are the pillar of our children and grandchildren. With you, our big family also has the backbone." Shen Qing Lan Road.

The Empress Dowager smiled again, she didn't expect this girl to speak well.

Shen Qinglan was playing with the bead string in his hand. The Empress Dowager caught a glimpse of it, was startled for a moment, and looked at it carefully again.

Isn't this the prayer beads she once bestowed on Chun Ying?Why is it in the hands of the princess?

The concubine deliberately brought this string of Buddhist beads here today, could it be to blackmail her?
No, everyone who knew about it back then is dead, not even the late emperor knew about it, and the princess is only twenty-nine years old, how could she know?
Besides, she is now the Empress Dowager, with her status, who would dare to comment on the past?

Maybe, it's just unintentional...

"Princess also likes to worship Buddha?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"There are so many affairs in the mansion, my granddaughter-in-law's worship to the Buddha is just for meditation." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Zhou Fu, why don't you serve tea to the princess?"

Seeing his deep gaze, Jing Shu fell into a sinking mood instantly, slowly raised her hand to take the wine glass, and drank with him.

"This is the scripture copied by Master Yunzang." The Empress Dowager said.

Zhou Nei waiter quickly nodded with a smile, "Yes, this servant is so confused that I forgot, this servant will pour tea for the concubine."

"it is good."

At dusk that day, Zhao Yi brought a few musicians to Jing's Xiaolan Mansion.

As Jing Shu said, she took a handkerchief and began to wipe Zhao Yi. When she touched his firm chest, her heart beat faster unconsciously, and her face flushed slightly.

Zhao Yi hooked his lips and picked up the wine glass. Jing Shu suddenly pretended to slip and lay directly in Zhao Yi's arms, and the wine in the glass spilled on him.

"This... grandson-in-law is not very clear. This teacher has been recuperating in Shen's residence for nearly a year. After recovering, she said goodbye to her grandmother and went to Jing'an Temple in Luoping City to be ordained ordained. Grandson-in-law I thought, she may have no attachment to the world anymore, and she wanted to die, but she didn't want to meet my grandmother, and she didn't want to waste my life-saving grace, so she chose to become a monk." Shen Qinglan said.

"At that time, my grandson-in-law was young and had a bad personality, so my grandmother sent me to Jing'an Teacher's College in Luoping City, where I studied articles and listened to Buddhism with the masters of Jing'an Temple. When I entered school every day, I was favored by this teacher and presented this prayer bead as a gift, and then I heard from my grandmother that many years ago, my grandmother had saved this teacher's life." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Yi picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine, and brought the glass to her.

"The princess is joking, I'm just an ordinary person." Zhao Yi said.

Zhao Yi also picked up the wine glass with a smile, and drank the wine in the glass.

After drinking one glass after another, Jing Shu sat beside Zhao Yi, a little reluctant to leave.

"Crown princess, I'm happy today, why don't we have a few more drinks?"

Zhao Yi held her hand and looked down at her, "It's okay, Princess, I'll do it myself."

Shen Qinglan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "My grandson has never seen the hand-copied scriptures of the master. It is my blessing to meet you today."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the Buddhist bead in his hand, and replied with a smile: "As for the Empress Dowager, it was a gift from a teacher in Luoping City when my grandson-in-law was in Luoping City."

"The Ai family has a few precious Buddhist scriptures, which are hand-copied by Master Yunzang. Is the princess interested in taking a look?" the Empress Dowager asked.

"Well, helping people from the Buddhist sect can be regarded as forming a good relationship with the Buddha." The Empress Dowager said.

The Empress Dowager nodded, she didn't expect this fledgling girl to be quite knowledgeable.

"My concubine's prayer beads are very unique. I wonder which temple asked for them?" The Empress Dowager asked plainly.

"Miaoying... Well, Wangfei, the Ai family is also exhausted today, you go first." The Empress Dowager walked to the Buddha statue, put her hands together and closed her eyes.

As Jing Shu said, she raised her hand to the servant behind her. The servant understood instantly and left with the musicians in the hall.

"En." The Empress Dowager stood up slowly and said, "Come with me."

Crown Princess Jing Shu prepared a table banquet, enjoying fun and drinking with Zhao Yi.

"Ah... Master Shizi, I'm really sorry that I lost my hand for a while."

"Grandmother said that when she first met this teacher, she was not from the Buddhist sect. At that time, she was wounded and dying, lying on the street next to our Shen residence. After seeing her, she was carried into the Fuchu."

"Although these musicians are good, they seem a bit bleak with the son beside them." Jing Shu laughed.

"My lord, I would like to offer you a toast."

For a while, only Zhao Yi and Jing Shu were left in the main hall.

"Grandpa Shi..."

Shen Qinglan followed the Empress Dowager into the cabinet, and the Empress Dowager took out a stack of scriptures from the wooden box in front of the Buddha statue, opened it and placed it on the table.

Jing Shu slowly withdrew her hand, a little itchy for a while, and secretly looked at him.

Looking at the handsome musicians who were playing, Jing Shu glanced at Zhao Yi again, and instantly felt that these musicians were boring.

"Crown princess, come, let me toast you again."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and asked: "Then, how did she escape into Buddhism?"

Jing Shu called softly, with a slight smile on her lips, Zhao Yi glanced at her, and poured another glass of wine for her.

"Um……"

Jing Shu picked up the wine glass, smiled charmingly at Zhao Yi, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Shen Qinglan approached a little closer, and sighed while admiring: "It is worthy of being a master's work. The flowing clouds and flowing water are like smoke, and there is no deliberate skill. It shows the merits of nature, and it is worthy of the name of all four things."

"Luoping City..."

Jing Shu stood up holding the wine glass, and walked gracefully to Zhao Yi's side, "My lord, I would like to toast you again."

After a while, Zhou Nei waiter came with tea, Shen Qinglan said "Thank you", and took a sip from the teacup.

"Her, what is her dharma name?" The Empress Dowager asked again.

Zhao Yi wiped the wine stains on his body and returned the handkerchief to her. She took the handkerchief and put it back into the sleeve regardless of the dirt on it.

"Miaoying." Shen Qinglan replied.

"Yes, then the granddaughter-in-law will not bother you, and the granddaughter-in-law will come to see you some other day."

"I heard from the palace that the concubine is now pregnant, the master is really lucky."

But she still stood up after all, staggered a step while getting up, Zhao Yi quickly supported her, and pulled her into his arms.

"Crown Princess, are you okay?" Zhao Yi asked.

Jing Shu sneered, raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek, "Zhao Yi, tonight, can you not call me Crown Princess? Just call me Ashu."

"Okay, Shu."

"Yiro..."
