Chapter 597: The Queen Mother summons
Bai Yinran's mouth was gagged, and her voice was naturally gone.
But she still emphasized her rebuttal to Shen Lanxi with her own actions. Of course, at the same time, she also expressed her dislike for a dinner with only vegetarian dishes.
In her mind, a meal without meat is soulless!
After dinner, the two went to the Buddha hall according to the arranged time.
Sure enough, as Bai Yinran said, there were many girls in the hall, wrapped in winter clothes.
From Concubine You at the front to the daughter of the family at the back, there were seven or eight "dumplings" at a glance.
Bai Yinran muttered in a low voice, "Weak and windless", but when she turned her head to look at Shen Lanxi, she still reminded very seriously: "You should also pay attention, don't catch a cold." I'd rather carry you back and forth wrapped in balls than see you sick. ”
"Okay." Shen Lanxi responded with a smile.
After that, the two chatted a few more words, and then after everyone came, they recited the Buddhist scriptures together.
For a moment, only the solemn sound of chanting sutras remained, and, occasionally, a few suppressed coughs were left in the Buddhist hall.
…
The blessing is only seven days, and in the blink of an eye, the return date is near.
After the last chanting, Shen Lanxi planned to go back to the room directly as before.
But as soon as he took a few steps out of the Buddha hall, he was stopped by Aunt Liu, who was beside the Queen Mother: "Concubine Shen, the Queen Mother is invited." ”
Shen Lanxi paused: "Dare to ask my aunt, do you know what the Queen Mother called me?" ”
Aunt Liu didn't answer, but only bowed respectfully, and replied in a regular manner: "The queen mother didn't tell me, the slave didn't know, if you want to come, you have to wait for Concubine Shen to go." ”
Didn't say anything?
Shen Lanxi and Bai Yinran glanced at each other, and in the end, Bai Yinran took the lead in going back, and she went to the queen house with Aunt Liu.
At that time, the Queen Mother was holding a Buddhist scripture and reading it.
Seeing someone coming in, she waved her hand and retreated, and then motioned for Shen Lanxi to sit opposite her.
"The Queen Mother." Shen Lanxi lowered his head slightly.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said lightly: "Do you know how to make tea?" ”
Well? What is the problem?
Shen Lanxi was a little confused by the topic suddenly chosen by the Queen Mother, but on the surface, he still forcibly maintained his calm: "Yes." ”
"Then make a pot of hot tea." The Queen Mother's tone was still light, she didn't seem to see Shen Lanxi's nervousness, and she didn't seem to care too much about her nervousness.
After dropping the sentence, he took the scripture book and read it again.
Seeing that she really didn't seem to have any intention of talking to herself, Shen Lanxi's inexplicable feeling in her heart suddenly became even stronger.
The Queen Mother specially called her over at night, and she also held her back, just to let her make a pot of hot tea???
What's this called?!
But when she looked down, she found that there was really a set of tools for making tea on the table, as if they had been prepared in advance...
Shen Lanxi hesitated to pick up the tea set on the table and began to do things according to the Queen Mother's instructions.
At first, she was quite calm, but as the steps in her hands progressed little by little, her mentality gradually began to become unstable.
This feeling of not knowing anything is the most exhausting!
She really wanted to take the initiative and ask the Queen Mother, but considering the huge disparity between the two sides, it was inconvenient to take the initiative when the situation was unclear, so she forcibly suppressed this idea again.
Wait and see...
She didn't believe it, the Queen Mother called her, and she really didn't say anything!
If that's the case, she's not at a loss.
Wasting time boiling pot tea and fighting with the Queen Mother, she will not have anything to lose.
Thinking like this, Shen Lanxi's impetuous heart gradually calmed down again.
