Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Master, can you help me solve this puzzle?"

Anduo looked at the palace maid kneeling in front of him and recognized that the person in front of him was the woman who fell in front of him that day.

Ai'er told her own troubles with a lonely look, as if she regarded the person in front of her as someone she could confide in, and she would feel comfortable after she spoke out.

Ando listened patiently to Ai'er's story and seemed to sigh, "You are a pitiful person."

"Master Anduo is the only one who brings me warmth in this palace. I also want to have a better life in the next life. Could you please give me your bracelet? Let me carry it with me so that I can feel your blessing."

Anduo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the palace maid in front of him to be so presumptuous, but he still took off the bracelet and gave it to Ai'er.

Ai'er held the bracelet in her hand, feeling very happy.

At night, Kim Yu-yeon lay on her side on the couch, fanning herself to drive away the heat, while Jung-sook sat beside her and massaged her legs to relieve edema and fatigue.

Ever since Ai'er got the bracelet from Master Anduo, she has been going to Anhua Palace more frequently. Sometimes she can't be seen in Qixiang Palace all day.

Li Xin was adding ice cubes to Concubine Jia's bowl, feeling dissatisfied with Ai'er.

I really don’t know what this dead girl has to pray for.

It's just a worthless life. No matter how much you pray, you will still be a lowly slave.

"Master, people from all the palaces are going there now. I know you don't believe in gods or Buddhas, but for the sake of the prince in my belly, even if it's okay to send a Buddhist scripture that I copied by hand, it would be good."

Jin Yuyan said gloomily, "Then starting tomorrow, you and Li Xin will personally deliver the Buddhist scriptures I copied."

"Yes."

The Imperial Noble Consort has been staying in Anhua Palace all day these days. Although Jin Yuyan has never been there, everyone around her will tell her.

"My Lord, you don't know that the Imperial Concubine almost wants to live in Anhua Palace. I have never seen anyone more concerned than her."

"She wants to do it herself."

"There were also concubines from other palaces who went there, but they only stayed for a while and then left, or they delivered Buddhist scriptures as a token of their sincerity. It's a bit unreasonable for the Imperial Concubine to do it herself."

"A man and a woman are in the same room, and they are being attentive to each other for no reason."

"No matter how legendary Master Anji is, he is a genuine man. Unlike those rootless people, he is different after all."

Jin Yuyan looked at Zhenshu's eyebrows raising and lowering along with the corners of her mouth, and immediately had an idea in her mind.

The next day.

Ruyi arrived at Anhua Palace early in the morning.

Master Anji was not surprised by her punctuality every day.

It would be really strange if the Imperial Noble Consort didn't show up one day.

Shortly after the Imperial Noble Consort came in, the Emperor also came over.

Ruyi wanted to say something to Anji in private, but seeing that the emperor was here, it was inconvenient to say it. She simply bit her lip shyly and said, "Your Majesty, you are here."

Hongli put his hands behind his back, looked sullen, and gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Then he looked at Anji and asked, "Master Anji's entry into the palace was arranged by the Imperial Concubine. Is Master Anji satisfied?"

Anji clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha".

If it weren't for those beautiful girls who kept "harassing" him, he might be more satisfied.

But I can't say it directly.

After all, the Imperial Noble Consort is considered the leader among these people.

If I say something wrong, I will definitely offend the old woman in front of me.

Never mind, he is a cultivator after all, and the people and things in the palace are not enough to affect him.

whatever.

Anyway, his determination to follow the Tao will never be broken.

After considering it for a moment, Anji nodded and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The Imperial Concubine has made very thoughtful arrangements."

Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes gave people a sense of oppression.

It felt like I was being stared at and my whole body was filled with discomfort.

Hearing Anji say that he was very satisfied, Hongli did not hesitate to say anything and instructed, "Master, please be more careful with the blessing."

"It's natural."

After the greetings, the three of them knelt on the mats and prayed earnestly.

Throughout the whole process, Ruyi was looking at Anji's back with a smile in her eyes. She liked him more and more the more she looked at him.

Even after the prayer was over, Hongli had something important to do, so he left first.

However, after standing up, Ruyi did not follow, but instead stood slowly behind Hongli.

Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, Ruyi stumbled when she went out and fell towards Anji beside her.

"Hey——"

Anji wanted to dodge, but for some reason, his body was out of his control and he saw the imperial concubine fall into his arms.

And his hand somehow held the other person's hand.

I can’t get rid of it!!!

Damn it, this woman was wearing something on her hand, it must have poked him to death.

When Hongli heard Ruyi's voice, he immediately turned his head, but unexpectedly saw the two of them snuggling together intimately.

Angie shook her hand for a long time before finally pulling it back.

He looked up and saw the emperor in front of him staring at him with a bad expression, and he suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Ruyi, be careful."

Jinzhong looked carefully and found that the fall of the imperial concubine just now did not seem to be accidental.

After all, the imperial concubine lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth that showed she couldn't help but secretly rejoice betrayed her.

Hongli returned to the Yangxin Palace, while Ruyi remained in the Anhua Palace.

Logically speaking, there is absolutely no need for her to stay here.

Other concubines would copy the Buddhist scriptures by hand and send the palace maids to deliver them here, but she insisted on talking to Anji here.

The maid from Concubine Chun's palace hurried back after delivering the Buddhist scriptures.

At this time, Anji gave two gifts to Ruyi.

When Ruyi heard that these two items were specially brought by Anji, the smile on her face could no longer be concealed. She looked at Anji with a look of relief and kindness as he presented the gifts.

Ruyi didn't hear a word Anji said. She looked at Anji in front of her, his mouth buzzing, and her mind began to wander.

"Ahem, Imperial Concubine, please accept this gift."

"Ah, good. This bronze incense burner is very exquisite. I like it very much. Thank you, Master."

Anji continued, "If the Imperial Concubine likes to wear jewelry, she can also wear seven-treasure beads, which will definitely enhance her auspiciousness."

Ruyi heard the words "Seven Treasures Beads" and pursed her lips as she silently recited, "Seven Treasures Beads? Thank you for the advice, Master."

"Amitabha."

Zhenshu, hiding behind the curtain, overheard their conversation clearly.

I couldn't stop sneering in my heart.

More peaceful?

She may not.

Ha ha.

On the other side, Hongli, who was riding in the dragon chariot on his way to the Yangxin Palace, saw that there were more palace maids on the other side of the palace road than before, and raised his hand to signal them to stop.

"Are these palace maids heading to Anhua Palace?"

Li Yu seemed not to notice that Hongli's expression was not right, and replied with a smile, "Yes."

Jinzhong deliberately added fuel to the fire, "The master is well versed in Buddhism and is also dignified and handsome, so the palace maids are naturally more diligent in visiting him."

Dignified and handsome!

Dignified and handsome...

No! I will never allow a man outside to outshine me!
