Princess Jin said happily: "I will be very happy if I can help the Crown Princess accomplish something good."
"Drink tea, drink tea!" Leng Xiao said with a smile.
Princess Jin picked up the teacup, breathed a sigh of relief, and started drinking.
No one was allowed to enter the study room where Ming Wudao taught, so Apei brought Xiao Concubine to the door. She did not welcome her, but asked Xiao Concubine to wait in the pavilion and she would come soon.
The spring breeze in February is like scissors, and the cold wind is everywhere. Along with the spring humidity, it makes people feel cold, wet, and very uncomfortable.
Concubine Xiao waited in the unobstructed pavilion for a while, becoming very impatient, but she couldn't show it, because now King Jin is still willing to use her because of the woman Ming Wudao.
She cannot offend Ming Wudao, otherwise she will become an abandoned pawn in the Jin Palace.
After waiting for less than half an hour, I saw Ming Wudao walking slowly in plain clothes.
She suppressed the anger in her heart, asking others to wait for so long, why don't you know how to find a wing to keep out the cold?
She had to stand in this unobstructed place for so long.
When Ming Wudao stood in front of her, she suppressed her dissatisfaction, put on a sweet smile, and said, "Master, I would like to greet you. Are you still used to it these days in the East Palace?"
Ming Wudao glanced around. This pavilion was unobstructed. It was in the center of Donggong Lake, so it was not easy to eavesdrop.
She felt that Leng Xiao wanted to send someone to eavesdrop, so she specially chose such a place, but no one followed her all the way there. This surprised her, so she thought about whether there was anyone hiding in the trees by the lake in advance. Got people.
But after looking around, I couldn't find anything.
She couldn't help but wonder, was Leng Xiao not worried at all about her having an affair with Prince Jin's palace?
"Master!" Concubine Xiao called out when she saw that she was absent-minded, "Are you... someone from the East Palace looking down on you?"
Ming Wudao put away his mind, looked at her and said calmly: "The people in the East Palace treat me very well."
How good does Concubine Xiao think it can be? After all, she was recommended by King Jin. Dong Gong must treat her as an enemy. If she is really good to her, then she must have reached some kind of agreement with Dong Gong.
She couldn't help but ask: "Master, did the East Palace offer you a good offer? Do you want to assist the prince?"
Ming Wudao's eyes were cold and stern, "I entered the East Palace to be the teacher of the emperor's grandson and the eldest son. They are also the ones I want to assist. What does it have to do with the prince? Why are you asking this? Before I entered the East Palace, I asked you to copy the Diamond Sutra. A hundred times, did you copy it?"
Concubine Xiao was unhappy, what Buddhist scriptures were she copying? Her status is almost in jeopardy. Can copying Buddhist scriptures help her?
"Didn't copy it?" Ming Wudao's voice became louder and his expression became more severe.
"I'm copying, but the Diamond Sutra is so thick. How can it be so easy to copy it a hundred times? Give me some time."
"Next time you come, if I don't bring the scriptures you copied, you don't have to come." Ming Wudao paused, "At least ten times. Every time you come, you must bring ten times the Diamond Sutra."
The entire text of the Diamond Sutra is more than 5,000 words, and she was asked to copy it hundreds of times. The purpose was to make her only exposed to the scriptures and not think about other things.
"Master, then you have to help this disciple. The prince doesn't believe me now. I wonder if you have surrendered to the East Palace..."
"Shut up, why do you submit to the East Palace? I am a citizen of the Wei Dynasty, and my heart is to submit to the imperial court."
Concubine Xiao couldn't help but soften her voice, "This is not what I mean, disciple, but in the past you had a deep conversation with the prince, and didn't you also say that the prince will have great potential in the future?"
"As long as their hearts are right, anyone can do a lot."
