Chapter 409

But she still respectfully replied, "Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Zhou did not even look at her. She tapped her cane, "Su Jin."

A forty year old maid came over and bowed, "This servant is here."

"You will serve the Ding Yuan Princess copying scriptures here and satisfy her needs, but you can't let her take a single step out of the temple. Otherwise this widow will cut off your legs, do you understand?" She said in a strict voice.

"This servant understands." The palace maid immediately replied.

Chen Ning was clear in her heart. Although this Empress Dowager Zhou said it nicely and called it service, she was actually monitoring her.

But she did not plan on leaving the temple. Quietly copying scriptures here was not a bad thing, it was a hundred times better than going back to the King Ding Yuan palace to face that trash Chu Shao Yang.

"Many thanks, Empress Dowager." She saw Empress Dowager Zhou slowly leave and bowed down to her back.

Empress Dowager Zhou's steps stopped and she slowly turned around. Looking down at Chen Ning, there was no joy or anger on her face, "Oh? What are you thanking this widow for? "

Chen Ning revealed a faint smile and calmly replied, "This minister's concubine thanks the Empress Dowager for her help."

"Help?" Empress Dowager Zhou gave a cold laugh, "You think this widow will help you? Wishful thinking! "

She slammed her cane on the ground and left without looking back.

With a "peng" sound, the two doors of the temple were tightly closed.

Chen Ning turned around with a faint smile. She walked in front of the table and casually opened a scripture.

"Does the Princess Consort want to start copying scriptures now? This servant will help you grind the ink. "The maid called Su Jin said in a respectful manner.

She had a dignified appearance. Although she was just over forty years old, her face was filled with maturity. Using the candlelight in front of the table, she secretly looked over Chen Ning.

There was a large matter that happened in the royal palace today that everyone knew about. Naturally she knew what kind of person Chen Ning was.

Only she was the same as Empress Dowager Zhou, she never thought that the emperor would steal his nephew's princess. Could this princess be a vixen that even the emperor who never touched a woman's heart was moved?

Looking at her under the light, she felt that she was as beautiful as jade. It was rare that her eyes were clear, with a hint of innocence and laziness.

She suddenly felt a sense of pity for him, not to mention the Emperor.

At this time, the sky was already dark. There were a dozen or so giant candles lit up in the temple hall, making it quite bright.

But Chen Ning did not plan on immediately copying the scriptures.

She looked at Su Jin with a smile.

"Aunt Sujin, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat? Even if you want a donkey to pull the mill, the donkey must be fed before it can work. Aunt Su Jin, don't you think so? "

Su Jin couldn't help finding this funny, "Yes, this servant will immediately prepare some food for the Princess Consort."

She walked to the door of the temple, knocked twice, and then whispered a few words to the people outside.

Soon, a palace maid brought in a plate of desserts and tea.

Chen Ning was not polite. She ate a few desserts and drank some tea, quickly filling her stomach.

After a while, Su Jin saw that she did not start writing, so she couldn't help asking, "When is the Princess Consort preparing to start copying the scriptures?"

"Then let's start now."

Chen Ning saw that she could not refuse, so she walked over to the table. She picked up the brush and wrote a word on the white paper.

This was the first time in her life that she was writing with a brush.

Su Jin stood on the side grinding the ink, feeling this strange. Didn't they say they were going to copy the scriptures? Why did the Princess Consort start drawing earthworms?
