Lin Yanyun couldn't get used to the food and accommodation on the first night he came here. The rice was hard and the vegetables only had pickles and vegetable oil without any oil. It was really bland and tasteless. Lin Yanyun couldn't swallow the second bite.
The food for dogs in the Lin Mansion was better than what was available here. She would rather go hungry than eat this food that was not meant for humans.
When she went to bed at night, the bed was so hard that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Plus, she didn't have dinner, so she was extremely hungry.
An irritated Lin Yanyun asked the maid Xi'er to get her something to eat. Xi'er cried in embarrassment and knelt on the ground in fear and said submissively: "Miss, this is a temple, and I can't find anything for you."
Lin Yanyun gritted her teeth and pinched Xi'er's arm, cursing at the same time: "What use do I need from you? You can't handle such a small thing, so what use do I need from you, trash!"
Xi'er bit her lip with painful tears and fell down. She didn't dare to say anything because if she cried, Lin Yanyun would get worse.
Lin Yanyun was still angry. People's tempers would become even more irritable when they were hungry. The beating lasted until midnight, and Lin Yanyun went to bed when she was tired...
Early the next morning, Lin Yanyun didn't care whether the rice was hard or whether the vegetables were oily, he wolfed down two big bowls of rice!
After breakfast, Master Enchang ordered her to collect firewood. Lin Yanyun was extremely reluctant, but she came here to suffer and be punished. It would be bad if she didn't spread the word to the prince.
As the saying goes, one can become a great person only by enduring hardships. She will definitely be able to withstand this difficulty!
...
Lu Bochu came to Linghan Temple after having breakfast at home. An Qi'en also specially wore men's clothes, with his hair pulled into a bun and decorated with a long bean paste-colored silk ribbon. Usually only Only men dress up like this.
The reason why she dressed up like this was that it would be more convenient to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. She has a delicate look that can be worn no matter what hairstyle she wears.
Lu Bo was surprised when he first saw her outfit. There was a different kind of style that he couldn't describe. This kind of outfit usually has no aesthetic appeal on ordinary women, but she looked so cute and handsome dressed up like this!
An Qien carried a bamboo basket on his arm. There were two small sickles in the basket.
The two were talking in the yard. An Qi'en was worried that he would be exhausted if he didn't go up the mountain often: "Your Majesty, the terrain on the mountain is not good, and it will take a lot of time to go up and down. Does Your Majesty really want to go?"
Lu Bochu heard that she was looking down on him! Could it be that a dignified, seven-foot-tall man like himself couldn't do the easy job of digging wild vegetables compared to a woman?
"Of course, such a small thing is nothing special. Let's go." Lu Bochu led the way up the mountain with great pride.
The three girls pursed their lips and snickered, and Agui followed behind.
After walking for a while, the mountain became steeper, and the more we walked up, the more tired we became. Several people could not help but breathe heavily. In winter, the mountain was completely gray, and the desolate ground was covered with dried deciduous branches, which made a green sound when stepped on.
There are only a few plants that are still green despite the severe cold winter. As Lu Bochu walked and looked at the desolate scenery around him, he asked in a casual tone: "Your life in this paradise is indeed more pleasant."
An Qien pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "I don't have so many worries, I feel more free."
Lu Bochu gave her an enigmatic look and said, "I also long for such a life."
An Qi'en was shocked. According to the current situation, Lu Bochu is the most likely person to inherit the throne. Doesn't he want to sit in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor?
"It's the same thing if you have freedom in your heart." An Qien replied meaningfully.
Lu Bochu nodded in agreement. This was indeed the truth.
Unknowingly, they walked to a place with wild vegetables. An Qi'en squatted down and started digging for wild vegetables. Lu Bochu also squatted down and watched her skillfully dig up wild vegetables that were like grass in the ground with a knife. He asked curiously: "This kind of wild vegetables What’s the name of wild vegetables?”
"Shepherd's purse." An Qien didn't look at him, and didn't stop moving his hands. He continued, "They are all around here. Your Majesty, try digging them."
Lu Bochu took out the sickle from the basket and watched An Qien digging wild vegetables and imitated it.
"Shepherd's purse? The buns are really good."
He still can't forget the taste of those buns.
"The dimes are also delicious." An Qien raised her eyes to look at him, her clear eyes met Lu Bochu's deep black eyes, and she subconsciously dodged and lowered her head to dig wild vegetables.
Lu Bochu pretended to be natural and gentle and said: "Then I'll do my best to pay more for you today."
She smiled slightly: "Okay."
Both of them lowered their heads to dig wild vegetables. Lu Bo dug more slowly at first, while An Qien moved very skillfully. The three maids and Agui were digging wild vegetables not far away, talking and laughing.
In no time, a basket was filled with wild vegetables. The group descended from this mountain and prepared to go to the opposite mountain to dig some mountain bamboo shoots.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they were all tired and panting. There was a green river of medium size between the two mountains. The wind blew and the sun shone on it, making the water sparkle.
Several people planned to take a rest here and each found a place to sit down.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Lu Bochu's forehead. He was tired but not tired. Although he was a prince, he had suffered a lot. It was just too hot. Men are more tolerant of cold than women and sweat more easily. If An Qien hadn't been here, he would have been relieved long ago. The cardigan is breathable.
An Qi'en saw that he was sweating, and silently took out a light-colored handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Bochu to wipe away the sweat.
"Your Majesty, give it."
The distance between the two people was not too far or too close, and the midday sun slanted on Lu Bochu's face, casting a warm light on his face, making his facial features look more upright and clear.
Lu Bochu glanced at An Qi'en before reaching out to take her handkerchief: "Thank you."
An Qien smiled slightly and said nothing.
Lu Bochu wiped his sweat with her handkerchief, and the faint fragrance from the handkerchief filled the tip of his nose, which was very tantalizing.
Suddenly, several black shadows flashed across the grass not far away. Lu Bochu's vision was sharp and he subconsciously picked up his sickle and chased after them.
Agui shouted excitedly: "My lord, this is hunting."
The three maids were excited beyond words. An Qi'en looked at them fondly: "Come and have a look."
The three maids all loved to join in the fun, and hunting was a fun thing to do. Several maids followed her up and down the mountain every day, so it was time for them to relax.
The three maids and Agui followed happily.
An Qien stayed there to rest alone. The sun was shining brightly on her body. It wasn't that she didn't like to see it, but unfortunately something happened to her today. Her legs were a little sore, so she could only rest first.
By coincidence, Lin Yanyun and Xi'er, who were collecting firewood, saw An Qien who was alone.
Lin Yanyun looked at An Qien with cold eyes. It was this bitch who made her suffer in this place. It was this bitch who pretended to be weak in front of the wise king!
Lin Yanyun clenched her fists. She didn't expect the opportunity for revenge to come so soon. God help her!
