Chapter 280 Never come back
The Queen Mother originally had no expectations for Qin Zhao, but after seeing Qin Zhao put pen to paper, she fixed her gaze.
I never thought that Qin Zhao's handwriting could still be seen, and his writing was calm and powerful. Looking at Qin Zhao's expression, he was very solemn and had the air of a superior.
Not even Concubine Wu had such an aura, but she was surprised to see it in Liangdi today.
No wonder Nanny Li had a high regard for Qin Liangdi. The Qin Liangdi in front of her was indeed something special.
Qin Zhao knew that he would have to copy Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall for the next few days, so he calmed down and copied Buddhist scriptures carefully.
Although she is usually irritable, she will not lose her temper at critical moments. Only by copying the Buddhist scriptures in the shortest time and returning to the East Palace can Xiao Ce feel at ease as soon as possible.
Therefore, except during meal time, she was diligently copying Buddhist scriptures and did not dare to slack off.
During this period, the Queen Mother and Aunt Li had both visited the Buddhist temple several times. Seeing Qin Zhao's engrossed attention, their affection for Qin Zhao grew.
"The old slave said that Qin Liangdi is different." Grandma Li was not surprised by this result.
The Queen Mother knew that what Nanny Li said made sense, but she still said firmly: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Don't rush to a conclusion yet."
"Yes." Aunt Li did not argue.
That night, when it was almost midnight, Grandma Li took another look at the door of the Buddhist hall and found that Qin Zhao was still copying Buddhist scriptures carefully, and she was so focused that she didn't notice her coming.
She quietly withdrew, secretly thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince was a man of good vision, and Qin Liangdi was so calm that she was someone who could do great things.
In the East Palace, Qin Zhao never came back, which made Xiao Ce very worried. Before he fell asleep, he was still hesitating whether to go to Cihe Palace to bring Qin Zhao back.
But he could guess that the emperor's grandmother was probably testing him. If he couldn't calm down and ran to Cihe Palace to pick up Qin Zhao, it would make the emperor's grandmother unhappy.
And the imperial grandmother was not like Concubine Wu, so she would not harm Qin Zhaocai.
"Your Highness, please rest early. The Queen Mother will not poison Qin Liangdi. How about I go to Cihe Palace tomorrow and inquire about the situation from the maid?" Zhang Jixiang suggested boldly.
"No need, Baoyu is the best at asking about the situation, just let her go." Xiao Ce had his own idea.
Baoyu went to inquire about the situation, and it wouldn't be a big deal even if the emperor's grandmother knew about it. But Zhang Jixiang went there, which proved that it was his intention. How could this be hidden from the eyes and ears of the emperor's grandmother?
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Baoyu to inquire.
Zhang Jixiang also understood his master's concerns, so he echoed: "Yes, I will go and tell Baoyu tomorrow. Qin Liangdi is smart and can speak well. She will be fine. Your Highness will have a good rest first."
Xiao Ce closed his eyes, still worried that the girl would suffer in Cihe Palace. If the imperial grandmother really wanted to deal with Qin Zhao, there were many ways. Although those methods would not kill people, they would still...
Xiao Ce didn't sleep much that night and finally stayed up until dawn. He immediately asked Baoyu to inquire about the situation.
After he went to court, he rushed to the East Palace as quickly as possible. By this time, Baoyu had already returned after inquiring about the situation.
"The news is that the slave was bought with a lot of money. Liangdi went into the Buddhist hall to copy Buddhist scriptures as soon as she entered Cihe Palace. It will probably take several days to complete the task. This news is very reliable. Your Highness, please rest assured." Baoyu said sternly.
Regarding Liangdi's safety, of course she had to find out more about it before returning to her life.
"Copy Buddhist scriptures?" Xiao Ce laughed dumbly: "For Zhao Zhao, copying Buddhist scriptures should be difficult, right?"
She usually complained a lot when the girl was asked to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this time under the supervision of the imperial grandmother, she couldn't be lazy even if she wanted to.
"Liangdi can get through it." Baoyu also had the same worry.
"As long as she's fine, don't go to Cihe Palace to ask for news during this period. She should be back in two days." Xiao Ce's mind was already made up as he spoke.
Baoyu retreated in response.
In Cihe Palace, Qin Zhao spent all her sleep and food in order to copy Buddhist scriptures. She usually eats and is lazy, but in order to return to the East Palace as soon as possible, she did not dare to slack off at all.
Even so, the handwriting of the Buddhist scriptures she copied was still neat and did not become sloppy due to the long time of copying.
When the Queen Mother saw the Buddhist scriptures copied by Qin Zhao, she became more and more satisfied with them.
"It's really not easy for Qin Liangdi to sit still at such a young age." Grandma Li sighed inwardly.
Qin Liangdi will definitely be a promising person in the future and can achieve great things.
When the Queen Mother heard Nanny Li's tone, she sneered and reminded: "Before entering the palace, who said that Qin Liangdi should be treated well?"
Grandma Li's attitude changed a little quickly.
"Isn't this cured? However, the Queen Mother is the one who makes the final decision on all major matters, and the old slave can only have some ideas." Grandma Li's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said at the beginning.
Concubine Wu would fall into Qin Liangdi's hands, which shows that Qin Liangdi has two tricks.
Concubine Wu was accustomed to pleasing the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager had doted on her all these years. But what she did this time was indeed too much. The emperor just sent the concubine to the cold palace, which was extremely merciful.
The Queen Mother was talking to Nanny Li about Qin Zhao. At this time, a chamberlain came in to report that Wu Xiyu had come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
After Wu Xiyu entered the palace, he immediately saluted the Queen Mother.
After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, Wu Xiyu said with a bright smile: "Sister Qin came to Cihe Palace yesterday. I was afraid that Sister Qin would not be used to living in Cihe Palace, so I came here specifically to see Sister Qin and Qin.
Sister, can you talk a little bit?"
"She is in the Buddhist hall, go and see her." The Queen Mother motioned to Nanny Li to lead the way.
When Wu Xiyu entered the Buddhist hall, Qin Zhao was carefully copying Buddhist scriptures. There had been people coming and going before, but Qin Zhao didn't care at all, and he didn't take it to heart this time.
Wu Xiyu stood for about a quarter of an hour before coughing lightly: "Sister is so focused that I didn't even notice that my sister has been here for so long."
When Qin Zhao first heard Wu Xiyu's voice, he realized that Wu Xiyu had arrived and there was no one behind Wu Xiyu.
But this is Cihe Palace, and she dare not forget this matter.
"Copying Buddhist scriptures is an important matter and should not be done half-heartedly." Qin Zhao said seriously.
Copying Buddhist scriptures can indeed make people feel calm. At first she regarded it as a task, but later she sincerely regarded it as a cleansing of the soul, and this indeed benefited her a lot.
Wu Xiyu wanted to see signs of drama from Qin Zhao's expression, but Qin Zhao looked sincere and didn't look like he was lying.
This is probably Qin Zhao's ability. She is obviously hypocritical, but no one can find anything wrong with her.
Could it be that even the Queen Mother believed that Qin Zhao was sincerely copying Buddhist scriptures?
Wu Xiyu was sure that Qin Zhao was lying, so she said, "Sister Qin usually doesn't believe in Buddhism. Why has she changed today? My sister thinks that this is not necessary. The Queen Mother is generous and kind. Even if my sister is not pious, she will not say anything about her."
Before Wu Xiyu could finish speaking, Qin Zhao whispered: "The heart is like an inkstone, neither empty nor dissatisfied; the eyes are like a piece of sky, neither extravagant nor greedy..."
