Nangan Canaan Mountain

Jinghetang, in terms of architectural decoration, you would never think that this is the place where the Queen Mother of a country lives. To summarize briefly, this is a Buddhist hall with a small courtyard.

The outer room is a place to worship Buddha statues and meditate and chant sutras. Inside is a small bedroom, the layout is also very simple and simple, only a bed, a few stools, and nothing else.

Luo Yan was meditating in front of the Buddha statue with the Empress Dowager Nan with the spirit of the twelve. I was reciting Amitabha Buddha in my mouth, but I was recalling in my mind how I was deceived into staying.

It's the sentence "The queen mother likes you very much, and she can't bear to let you go"

It's still the same sentence "The food here is delicious"

Or is it the extremely hypocritical sentence, "I miss you ten thousand times"

She was also confused about which sentence it was, and all in all, she nodded stupidly and sat here.

In fact, an hour after Ying Qi left, she was already very sure that the guy was lying to herself. Because she couldn't see that the Empress Dowager Nan liked herself a little.

Secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager Nan, who was sitting in front of her left, still in a pious state of selflessness. Luo Yan sighed slowly, he thought that if he was a "flower blooming", he would definitely be able to "be loved by everyone", but the reality is so cruel.

Empress Dowager Nan's eyes were closed, and she was meticulously reciting the scriptures, but she was pondering another question in her mind. I often listen to the story of the evil mother-in-law who grinds her daughter-in-law, and now there is a God-given opportunity, whether you want to give it a try or not, maybe it is a valuable life experience.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Nan awkwardly said the first sentence after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met.

"Luo Yan, serve tea"

Luo Yan immediately came to her senses when she heard this, is this going to test her Such a simple question is really thankful

It's just that Luo Yan, who has no experience in serving tea, started to worry when he arrived in the small kitchen, I don't know the queen mother's preferences, how to prepare for this, this is a bit tricky, but it is not difficult to defeat the talented Luo Yan

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Yan walked into the Jinghe Hall with a few little palace maids. With a spring breeze on his face, a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, he said confidently:

"Queen Mother, here comes tea"

The Empress Dowager Nan was engrossed in chanting the Buddha, and when she took the teacup, her eyes did not open, but she only sipped it gently, and the tea was not soaked in her mouth, so she frowned and said, "It's too hot."

When Luo Yan heard this, he immediately offered the second cup, how could the Empress Dowager Nan be so fast, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a row of little palace maids standing in front of her, all holding tea cups in their hands.

Luo Yan smiled and hurriedly explained, "When I first arrived, I really didn't know the habits and preferences of the queen mother, and I was afraid that the back and forth would delay your tea, so all kinds of situations were prepared in advance, there were slightly cool, slightly hot, medium hot, and very hot tea.

The Empress Dowager Nan was stunned, her next line "It's too cool" was useless, so easily defeated, it seemed that her rank was too low, looking at Luo Yan with a smile on her face, the Empress Dowager Nan decided to increase the intensity of torture in another way

She got up and picked up a scripture book on the desk and handed it to Luo Yan, "This Lotus Sutra."

It's my favorite one, it's a little old after reading it for a long time, and my eyesight is not good, so I'll bother you to copy another copy."

Luo Yan took the Buddhist scriptures with both hands and agreed, thinking in his heart: This is really a mother-in-law, and she specially chose what she is good at to test, and she is simply reluctant to make herself embarrassed.

Back in her room, Luo Yan burned incense and cleaned her hands, spread out the rice paper, prayed silently, and vowed to write a masterpiece that had never been seen before or after her for a day and a night, and finally it was completed.

The Empress Dowager Nan looked at Luo Yan with an expectant look on her face, and first sneered twice in her heart, whether it is good or not, it is not good for me here, and I have prepared a reason for you, once you don't write well, you don't have a heart, twice you don't write well, because you don't use your brain, don't blame me for not writing well, don't blame me for being ruthless, double the number of you, hum, in short, keeping makes you dizzy and unforgettable

Coincidentally, this day happened to be the day when the abbot of the Canaan Mountain Fusion Temple came to give a lecture to the Queen Mother, and he looked at the Buddhist scripture copied by Luo Yan and praised it again and again: Your hand is really wonderful as a dragon and a phoenix, traveling for nine days, free and easy with a proud style, it is definitely the best product

Others say that it is not good, but even the highly respected abbot of the Fusion Temple said that it is good, how can the Empress Dowager Nan say that it is not good, she has a smile on her face, but she secretly made up her mind in her heart: You were lucky to pass the test twice, I don't believe that you still have such good luck the third time, don't blame me for being too ruthless, who made me your mother-in-law

It's lunch time again, Luo Yan keeps looking out, why hasn't the palace maid who delivered the meal come yet, it's not that Luo Yan is greedy, but this day and night thinking about copying Buddhist scriptures, and he didn't even eat a few bites of food

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Nan came with a little palace maid, still holding a box in her hand. Luo Yan hurriedly greeted him and called sweetly: "Queen Mother, why are you here, do you know that I am thinking about you?"

The Empress Dowager Nan glanced to the side uncomfortably, and muttered in her heart: "It's not big, it's not small."

Luo Yan didn't care about the indifference of the Empress Dowager Nan, she firmly remembered what Ying Qi said, the Empress Dowager Nan was a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, so she took the initiative

"Queen Mother, whether you are tired of walking this way, I am the best at pinching my shoulders, do you want to give it a try?"

The Empress Dowager Nan still didn't answer, and went into the room and sat down upright before saying to Luo Yan: "You come to me, there is no high bed and soft pillows, no brocade clothes and jade food, you have suffered."

This is said, even if it is true, Luo Yan can't admit it, she hurriedly smiled and waved her hand to indicate that everything was fine.

Empress Dowager Nan glanced at it, and there was a sneer in her heart, and then said: "There is nothing good to give you, this is what I used when I was young, I hope you can wear it on your wedding day." ”

Hearing that she was going to give her something, Luo Yan immediately burst into joy, does this mean that she is starting to like herself a little bit and doesn't like how to give her something She even said a string of thanks, and then opened the box happily.

The queen mother's shot is really extraordinary, this is just a belt, but it is very luxurious, the flying nine phoenixes woven with gold and silver threads on it are in a thousand postures, and the tourmaline gems hanging below are brilliant, and there is a pleasant sound of ringing and jingling when you pick it up gently, Luo Yan can imagine it, if it is matched with the dress

How wonderful it must be

She couldn't wait to give it a try, but wait

Ordinary belts are fastened, but this belt is buttoned, and she can't buckle them

Luo Yan panicked in his heart, what is going on, she has eaten too much recently, so that she has too much meat on her waist She looked at the Empress Dowager Nan embarrassedly, and sure enough, she had a disappointed and suspicious expression.

Luo Yan was embarrassed, and she said sneeringly: "Mother, you were so slender when you were young, I am really ashamed, I can't accept your old man's kindness."

Empress Dowager Nan smiled at Luo Yan for the first time, she said very gently, "It's okay, there is still time before the wedding, you still have a chance"

At first, Luo Yan didn't know what this opportunity meant, and it wasn't until lunchtime that the little palace maid sent only half a bowl of millet porridge with a clear bottom that she understood the true meaning of that sentence, is this to let herself diet and lose weight

Luo Yan really wanted to cry, and she didn't want to ask for anything else, but she couldn't do it if she didn't eat enough, she clearly remembered that Ying Qi always pinched her waist and said that she was too thin, and she wanted to make up for it, why did she become too fat when she got to the Queen Mother Nan, so she had to eat less

Although she was very aggrieved, she still drank the millet porridge without a drop, and then began to close her eyes and meditate, braised chicken wings, sweet and sour short ribs, stuffy prawns, plum cabbage button meat, which she didn't like to eat before, have become the things she misses the most at this moment.

Alas, Luo Yan thought about it and reflected, she must have been too picky eaters in the past, this is God's punishment for her, punishing her for not knowing the suffering of the world

sat like this until the afternoon, and the Empress Dowager Nan was very intimate and did not come to ask her to meditate and chant together. Luo Yan, who was hungry and bored, decided to go out for a walk, enjoy the beautiful scenery to change his mood, and he could also pick two flowers as snacks by the way.

As soon as he opened the door, he was pleasantly surprised to find two walnuts on the ground, and Luo Yan immediately thought of the "mysterious little animal" who had given him a small gift. Is it him, is it the walnut he sent

Soon Luo Yan confirmed her suspicions, and there were delicious things in front of her room that night, and there were many more than usual. She unceremoniously hugged all the longan, dried apricots, and dim sum in her arms, and didn't forget to say to the air: "Thank you"

After a while, Luo Yan opened the door and discussed with the air: "That, I don't know what your name is, but you must be a chivalrous and brave person I also know that I am a little picky, but if I can, I mean if it is convenient for you, I want to eat pearl bags tomorrow morning, it must be the pearl bags of Tianxianglou."

"Also, although I'm small, I eat a lot, one cage is not enough, it's better to bring more, you can eat some too, hehe"

"I know you're a hero who treats money like dung, but I can't let you suffer too much, my bracelet is worth a little silver, just when I invite you to eat the money for buns, you must accept it."

After instigating for a long time, Luo Yan smiled embarrassedly and returned to the room, looking forward to a surprise tomorrow

Behind the bushes was a bright smile that couldn't even be hidden by the darkness, and he muttered to himself in his heart, "I used to like to eat pearl bags, or the pearl bags of Tianxianglou." ”
