Allure of a Country Maiden

After Du Yijin and Princess An entered the palace, the Queen Mother left them outside for an hour without announcing their entry.

At this time, it was completely dark, the cold wind was howling, and the chill was overwhelming. Both of them were wearing thick cloaks and were freezing.

Du Yijin felt that she was a little too nostalgic again. She saw that Prince An and Princess An's nose was red from the cold, and her heart was full of guilt: "Mother, I'm sorry, I have made you suffer together!"

Princess An gave her a comforting smile: "Silly boy, I am your concubine and your mother. Naturally, the whole family is blessed and shares the same hardships! That is what your stepmother did, and it has nothing to do with you. It's okay. Mother knows you are a good boy."

Du Yijin was moved after hearing this: "I will definitely be filial to my mother and concubine in the future."

Princess An smiled slightly after hearing this, and then she thought that her son did not consummate the marriage with her on their wedding night and said: "If you really want to be filial to your mother and concubine, live a good life with the prince and give your mother a fat baby as soon as possible. Hug your grandson."

Thinking of a good way to seduce her son and dragging him into bed is the best filial piety to herself. She really has nothing else to ask for!

Princess An looked at Du Yijin. In fact, this girl is not not beautiful, but she has a bit of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, which does not meet everyone's beauty standards. But her son likes men, or Du Yijin's slightly heroic face can break him. Maybe it's true.

Du Yijin couldn't help but blush after hearing this, and she said softly: "I will."

Princess An also wanted to tell Du Yijin some of Shangguan Ruixi's preferences so that the daughter-in-law could capture her son's heart as soon as possible. At this time, the palace maid came to invite them in.

The two walked in.

Du Yijin's body was a little frozen and her head hurt a little, but she still held on and gave the Queen Mother a standard salute.

In the afternoon, she called the nanny to learn from her for a long time, and she finally couldn't make any mistakes tonight.

The Queen Mother did not embarrass her during the salute this time. She directly rebuked: "Kneel down!"

The two knelt down.

The Queen Mother then took out a jade bracelet: "If the Ai family remembers it correctly, this was passed down from the Empress Dowager to the Ai family, and the Ai family passed it down to the princess, and the princess passed it on to the eldest princess! This jade bracelet is the most valuable in the world. It has been passed down from generation to generation! Now it has been pawned! Tell me how this jade bracelet was passed from generation to generation to the pawn shop!"

If that pawn shop hadn't happened to be her sister's dowry shop, and An Cheng discovered that the bracelet should have been a palace item, the bracelet passed down by the Empress Dowager would have ended up among the people!

Du Yijin's face burned fiercely after hearing this. She said bravely: "Back to Grandma Huang, this bracelet is because..."

"Okay! No need to explain, I sent someone to find out! Your mother stole it and then pawned it in a pawn shop! A mother stole her daughter's dowry! It's ridiculous! Princess, this is what you married Xi'er Daughter-in-law? Is there something wrong with your eyes? Why did you choose such an unworthy daughter-in-law for Xi'er! How can such a family be worthy of the grandson of the Ai family! Such a thing has spread! You make the entire royal family look down on you. Where to put it!"

Du Yijin's face was on fire. She lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.

The Queen Mother looked at Du Yijin's hands bandaged like rice dumplings and narrowed her eyes slightly: Tea can't burn you, so don't think that the Ai family can't cure you!

"Mother, this is..." After hearing this, Princess An began to explain.

"Okay, you don't need to explain, the Ai family won't listen! The Crown Princess went to the small Buddhist hall to copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times, just as an apology to the Empress Dowager! She can only leave the palace after copying! Get out of the way!" Even if the hand cannot be damaged when copying Buddhist scriptures a thousand times with an injured hand, it will still be very painful to write with the injury.

The Queen Mother was old. If she hadn't taught them a lesson, she would have gone to bed at this time on weekdays. Now her eyelids were fighting, and she was too sleepy to teach others, so she sent them to copy Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist scriptures, return to the home.

The Queen Mother stood up and walked to the inner room supported by the palace maid.

Princess An: "..."

The Queen Mother actually just scolded them a few words and then let them go? When did the Queen Mother become so kind!

Just copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times? I'm afraid I haven't finished copying until dawn! Princess An glanced at Du Yijin's hands and felt that the punishment was not light. Wouldn't Du Yijin's hands be cut off? !

She is still thinking about the kindness of the Queen Mother! Sure enough, Queen Mother and kindness are antonyms.

Du Yijin was left alone to copy Buddhist scriptures in the palace. Prince An and Princess An were a little worried. She wanted to ask her to go back to the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures, and then sent them to the palace after copying.

"Mother,..."

"What's wrong? Do you also want to accompany the Crown Princess to the small Buddhist hall to copy Buddhist scriptures? The Ai family won't stop you." The Queen Mother paused as she left, then left after leaving these words.

Du Yijin quietly pulled on Prince and Princess An's clothes and shook her head.

After the Queen Mother left, Du Yijin looked at Prince An and Princess An who had a troubled face and said, "Mother, please go back to the palace first. The Crown Prince is still waiting outside the palace! Don't let him worry."

After hearing this, Prince An and Princess An remembered that her son was still waiting outside the palace. They had not gone out for so long, and they were probably really anxious.

"Then, the concubine has left the palace first. The concubine will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to find a way to take you back to the palace."

Du Yijin nodded.

After Princess An left, Du Yijin was taken to the small Buddhist hall by a palace maid, and then left, leaving her alone there.

Shangguan Ruixi waited outside the palace for a long time but didn't see the two people coming out. She was already worried!

The Queen Mother won't come up with any other ways to torment Yijin!

Yijin still had a fever last night, and the injuries on her hands and head were not healed yet. How could she withstand the torture?

After finally waiting for the palace door to open, only Prince An and Princess An came out. Shangguan Ruixi couldn't help but peeked inside the palace door again, and there was indeed no figure of Du Yijin.

"Mother Concubine, where is the Crown Princess!"

"The Queen Mother ordered her to copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times, and she could not leave the palace until she finished copying them."

"A thousand times? How long will it take to copy this?" Shangguan Ruixi was furious after hearing this. After copying the Buddhist scriptures a thousand times, can I still want Yijin’s hand?

Prince An and Princess An thought he was worried about how long he would have to wait and said, "Go back home first, and tomorrow we will find a way to take Yijin back home as soon as possible."

What can Shangguan Ruixi say? He will never be able to enter this palace now!

…

There was no burning earth dragon in the small Buddhist hall, not even a stove. The whole room was frozen.

Du Yijin shook his groggy head, began to sharpen his ink, and carefully copied the Buddhist scriptures.

The deeper the night went, the colder it became. First, her feet on the ground and her exposed hands were sore from the cold, and then her whole body seemed to be frozen, and her head became heavier.
