After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

Gu Wenyan felt Shen Bingning's gaze, looked up, and when he saw it was her, he nodded gently with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Shen Bingning waited patiently by the side until Gu Wenyan finished writing the letter for the aunt, then she stepped forward, her tone somewhat anxious, "I don't know how much of the Buddhist scriptures I copied, but no matter what, I want to take them all away now."

She knew that coming to pick it up early was a bit abrupt, so she didn't mind the number of words. She just wanted to get it as soon as possible. As for a refund, she had never thought about it.

Gu Wenyan took out a thick stack of papers from the bamboo basket under the table, and said with a bit of pride, "I have completed the 80,000-word Buddhist scripture. Please take a look, young lady."

Gu Wenyan smiled gently, with a gleam of understanding in his eyes, and slowly explained: "The young lady inadvertently revealed that she had some difficulties in completing this work on time. I guessed that you might need this Buddhist scripture urgently, so I completed it in advance to avoid any accidents in the middle of the process and delay your important matter."

Shen Bingning took the Buddhist scripture, gently unfolded it, and read it carefully page by page.

The handwriting was neat and fluent, and was surprisingly similar to my own, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

She couldn't help but admire in her heart, thinking that the ten taels of silver were extremely worthwhile, and even felt that it was a great value for money.

"Thank you so much for your help regarding the Buddhist scriptures. I wonder if I could ask you, what is your name?"

There was a hint of sincerity in Shen Bingning's voice. She thought that for such a dedicated and capable person, she should at least know his name. In case Xiao Yi asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures again in the future, she could turn to him for help again.

Hearing this, Gu Wenyan stood up and saluted, his manner exuding a gentle and elegant aura, "I am Gu Wenyan, it's just a trivial matter, young lady, you are too kind. I just collected the deserved compensation and did what I should do."

His neither humble nor arrogant attitude, as well as his calmness in every gesture, made Shen Bingning feel good about Gu Wenyan.

She thought it would be a pity if she couldn't make friends with such an outstanding person.

But then he thought about it, he was about to leave the capital, and this idea didn't seem realistic, so he had to suppress this thought, "Mr. Gu, I still have some things to deal with here, so I'll take my leave first. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

Gu Wenyan also clasped his fists in return, with a faint smile in his voice, "See you later."

After obtaining the Buddhist scriptures, Shen Bingning began to have a headache about preparing gifts for the moody emperor.

In order to appease Xiao Yi's emotions, she had vowed to bring him an unexpected surprise, but as the king of a country, Xiao Yi had seen countless rare treasures. What kind of gift could surprise him?

Just as she was worrying about this, the laughter of street children fighting over candy figures attracted her attention.

A thought flashed through her mind - Xiao Yi had lived in the deep palace since he was a child, and he might never have truly experienced these simple folk pleasures.

Just as depicted in those costume dramas, those noble children of noble birth often have a special liking for these little gadgets of ordinary people.

So, Shen Bingning walked towards the sugar man stall.

The stall owner was an old man with white hair and beard. He squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "Little girl, what kind of sugar figurine do you want? I have everything here."

Shen Bingning's eyes wandered over the wooden rack filled with all kinds of sugar figures, including animals of various shapes and lifelike flowers.

She turned around and quietly asked Qing'er, her personal maid, "Qing'er, your majesty...um, what is his zodiac sign?"

Qing'er smiled and replied respectfully: "My Lord, your Majesty is born in the year of the tiger."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bingning said to the old man, "Then please make one in the shape of a tiger."

The old man had a skilled technique. The sugar threads in his hands seemed to have life, interweaving and entwining rapidly. After a short while, a majestic tiger sugar man appeared vividly before everyone.

Looking at the vivid tiger sugar figurine, Shen Bingning suddenly had an idea: "Make me another rabbit one."

After saying that, she curiously asked about Qing'er's zodiac sign.

Qing Er answered shyly, "I was born in the year of the monkey."

Shen Bingning then instructed the old man: "Then add another monkey."

Soon, Qing'er was holding the mighty tiger sugar figure in her left hand and the monkey sugar figure representing her zodiac sign in her right hand, with an unconcealable joy on her face, as if these sugar figures were priceless treasures that made her reluctant to eat them.

Shen Bingning picked up the small and cute rabbit candy, first gently bit off one of the rabbit's ears, and then bit off the other one, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Mmm, so sweet!" she exclaimed sincerely.

After enjoying the candy man, Shen Bingning saw Qing'er still holding the candy man like a treasure, looking reluctant to eat it. She smiled and reminded him: "The candy man will melt if you keep it for too long."

Qing'er then licked the candy reluctantly, with a trace of nostalgia in her eyes, "When I was a child, my family was poor and we couldn't even have enough food, let alone buy candy. Later, I entered the palace. Although I had monthly wages, there was no place in the palace to sell candy."

Shen Bingning touched Qing'er's face distressedly and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, things will get better and better."

"Ok!"

Qing'er nodded heavily, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Shen Bingning couldn't help but gently pinch Qing'er's round and cute face again, thinking to herself, no wonder Xiao Yi always likes to tease her, the feeling of her hand is really irresistible.

At this moment, Fan Yuner walked out of the clinic and saw Shen Bingning not far away. At first, she thought it was her eyes that were blurry. After taking a closer look, she confirmed that it was Shen Bingning without a doubt. She walked forward happily and called out softly, "Queen."

Shen Bingning turned sideways, and her eyes happened to meet Fan Yun'er, who was wearing an exquisite veil. She was slowly walking towards her. She thought to herself, "What does it mean that the Princess of Yong County came to visit in person?"

Fan Yuner walked up to Shen Bingning, knelt down gently and saluted, her eyes still revealing her admiration for Shen Bingning.

"Yun'er greets Sister Shen."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly with an elegant posture.

Shen Bingning noticed that Nu Tao, Fan Yun'er's personal maid, was holding a medicine bag in her hand, and asked with concern, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Fan Yuner subconsciously stroked her cheek, shook her head gently, and tried to cover it up with a relaxed tone: "I'm fine, I just want to adjust my body."

Zi Tao, who was standing by, looked distressed and couldn't help but interrupt, "How can you say it's all right? The Princess was punished by the Prince because of some misunderstandings and was restricted to the courtyard and not allowed to go out.
