After discovering that the emperor is a woman

However, when Liu Jiuning finally stopped her slightly exaggerated praise for the fried tofu, she saw that the emperor still had that cold and paralyzed face, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention to move his chopsticks.

She had to speak cautiously: "Your Majesty...don't you like tofu? Or don't you like mushrooms?"

Isn't that yourself...

Wrong courtesy!

Liu Jiuning was in a very disturbed mood. After staring at the cold emperor for a long time, she tried to do or say something to save the bad atmosphere.

Before she could start to move, she saw the emperor, who was acting silent like a stone, finally moved!

Li Nanchu withdrew his gaze from Liu Jiuning's unusually expressive face, picked up his chopsticks, and thought of the girl's flattery just now, he picked up the so-called 'Golden Dream Mushroom'.

Take a sip slowly.

The taste can't be described as brilliant, and it doesn't really deserve the praise of spending nearly half a cup of tea.

Seeing that the sale was finally successful, Liu Jiuning lowered her voice and asked expectantly, "How is it? Isn't it good!"

Although this fried tofu doesn't really turn golden brown on both sides, and it doesn't taste like the dream she boasted, but the ingredients are all grown by the masters in the temple, and the fresh mushrooms are also picked from the back mountain.

For her, the taste is indeed very good.

"Average." Li Nanchu commented calmly.

Even though she never cared about her appetite, since she was sitting in this position, she never dared to neglect the things presented by the servants.

In her opinion, this dish is indeed only average.

If it wasn't for the freshness of the ingredients, I'm afraid it would be a little worse.

Hearing this, Liu Jiuning was not discouraged, and quickly scooped up a bowl of soup for the emperor, and continued to praise the wonderful taste of the next dish with that exaggerated performance.

She absolutely wants the other person to experience the dining experience like a king.

Alright, the person sitting in front of you is the emperor.

This is a big problem, it's not a big deal at all, and her identity doesn't conflict with her thoughts at all.

Soon, Li Nanchu tasted every dish under the enthusiastic 'entertainment' of the girl.

And Liu Jiuning, who had been busy for a long time, was finally able to sit down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate with peace of mind, not forgetting to give the emperor a bright and polite smile from time to time.

The old man pays attention to eating without talking and sleeping without talking.

Although it was a dull meal, the atmosphere was always very depressing, especially when there were people on the table who were emitting air-conditioning all over their bodies.But for her, eating is a happy thing, no matter what others do, focus on the food in the bowl first.

Not long after, both Li Nanchu and Liu Jiuning stopped their chopsticks, and at this moment, the dark guard in black appeared behind the emperor like a wind, and said a few words softly.

That sound is really very small.

Liu Jiuning was so young that she didn't even know if the hidden guard, who looked so ordinary that he couldn't remember, was really talking.

Liu Jiuning's eyes stayed on the slightly opened and closed mouth of the dark guard, and felt the emperor's death-like staring eyes sharpen for a moment, and knew that there must be trouble at the door.

But what did it matter to her?

She is just a sick and weak salted fish, and everyone said that she is a miserable future queen who can't survive the wedding night.

Liu Jiuning, who is considerate and considerate, took the initiative to tell the emperor that if there is something to do, hurry up.

Of course, it is impossible for the words to be so straightforward, and they have been modified implicitly learned in ancient times over the past ten years.

The emperor seemed to be really anxious, and it might be that the other party's original character was like this.He didn't say much politeness, nodded, took another look at her, and turned to leave.

Cold and cool, sassy and handsome.

The last look did not contain any emotion, but pierced into her chest like a sharp arrow.

Liu Jiuning held her chest in front of the empty door and sighed, "I earned it."

Being able to be a fake couple with such a beauty, you can eat two more bowls for meals in the future. If the other party is not so cold, maybe you can eat another bowl.

After sighing, Liu Jiuning shifted her gaze to the table, only to realize that the hidden guards had cleared away the leftovers including the plates.

Caring and professional.

but……

She is not full yet!He stopped his chopsticks, intending to scoop up a bowl of soup before continuing to finish off the rest of the meal.

Liu Jiuning depressed her stomach, which was still mostly empty, and planned to go to the back kitchen to ask the masters for two steamed buns, and then pressed again.

Just walked out the door.

I saw the little monk sitting by the door holding a bowl and eating.

"Min Ming, why are you sitting here?" Liu Jiuning was a little surprised, and was about to say that it was cold on the ground, when she found that the other party was still sitting on a tufted cattail, so she felt relieved.

Lift up the skirt.

He sat on the threshold.

She looked at the white and fat steamed buns in the wooden bowl, and continued, "Little monk, you got a lot of steamed buns today. Why don't you ask sister to help you with two?"

Of course the little monk would not refuse, and Liu Jiuning finally ate to his heart's content.

She wasn't really coaxing the children, there were four big steamed buns plus other dishes, but she was worried that the little guy couldn't finish it, so she asked for it just now!

Following the little monk to enjoy the scorching sun outside, Liu Jiuning ate his second lunch slowly while chatting.

When the time was almost up, she patted her buttocks and stood up, and handed over the candied dates jar that she had prepared earlier to the little monk, not forgetting to ask the little monk to find her maid later, so that they could secretly eat some sweets together Cheesy little pastries.

Originally, Liu Jiuning planned to go back to take a nap, but happened to meet an old monk on the road, so he couldn't sleep anymore, and followed him to the meditation room to taste new tea and "talk about Zen".

The old monk's new tea is really good.

It's just that she, a teenager from the new era, is not so good at it.

This is not a big problem. In the words of the old monk, the most important function of tea is to quench thirst.

"Hey, Master Changkong! I'm going to be a queen, don't you know?"

After Liu Jiuning took a sip of tea to quench her thirst, she couldn't wait to start talking, and thought of something else, before the old monk could answer, she continued, "This question is a waste of time. It’s all spread to the temple. And with your ability, I’m afraid you already know it, think about it carefully, could this be what you said that day—there is God’s will in the dark?”

She shook the string of new prayer beads wrapped around her wrist, and looked at the old monk with a meaningful smile.

Fortunately, I was so scared that I was about to ascend to heaven.

I didn't expect to have this kind of luck. It's much better than going to the nunnery on the top of the mountain next door to be a fake nun for more than ten years!

"The benefactor of Jiuning thinks so, so that's it." Master Changkong smiled and slowly refilled Liu Jiuning's empty teacup.

The little benefactor loves to talk the most, but there is no shortage of tea to quench his thirst.

"You, you, just love to go around in circles!"

Liu Jiuning squeezed the small Buddha beads in her hand twice with a smile on her face. Thinking that she would soon enter the palace, she might not be able to come to Anchang Temple often to find the old monk and the young monk, so she said, "In two months I will I'm about to enter the palace, and I don't know when I'll come back next time. I have taken care of you all these years, and you have listened to a lot of nonsense from me, time is really a merciless thing..."

Liu Jiuning, who was slightly melancholy, slowly poured out the emotions in her heart. She never missed the old monk, the young monk and Anchang Temple, and wondered whether the food in the palace was as delicious as the masters in the temple.

In the end, the topic changed and it returned to the old monk.

She squinted her eyes and said: "Master! You have white eyebrows, so don't always run to the back of the mountain alone. If you have any thoughts of traveling around the world, let's put it aside for now, it's all done by young people." , you don’t even look at how old you are! Besides, Minming is only a little older, and it’s not easy to travel around with such a child. Let’s teach Xiao Minming to be an adult, and then those who have the heart to save the common people will hand over You can feel more at ease if you give it to him, right?"

That's right, this was Liu Jiuning's real purpose.

She wants to persuade the old monk to take care of his old age in the temple, and stop thinking about running to unknown places all day long. How old is he? Even if he has peerless martial arts, it is still dangerous!

Human beings are never finished.

Cultivate a few young monks well and let them go to degrees again, wouldn't the power be great?

Liu Jiuning originally planned to use a few years to subtly change the old monk's mind, but now there is not much time left, she is about to enter the palace.

At that time, the mountains will be high and the water will be far away. I don't know what year, month and day we will meet again.

No matter how powerful a person is, they can't resist the traces of time.

Of course she knew and understood the lofty ideals of the old monk, but it did not prevent her from hoping that the old monk could live in Anchang Temple for the elderly.

Is there any place more sinister than the capital?

By reducing the evil in this capital city, the common people in the world will feel better.

But from the perspective of her nine years of compulsory education and several years of reading novels and TV dramas, the old monk's ideal may not be realized. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and good and evil will always be accompanied.

Liu Jiuning eloquently said a lot of words and phrases that sounded reasonable and were actually the truth.She is just a teenager who has opened her eyes by standing on the shoulders of giants and has survived two lifetimes by chance. Of course, she has never experienced anything like practice.

People in this era usually find it difficult to understand ideas that are too advanced, and it may be life-threatening to speak out.She would not be a fool who would fight against the whole society, at most she would be a lunatic who was drunk alone.

If there is a little more, it is like playing tricks with the old monk.

It's a pity that no matter how good Liu Jiuning's eloquence was, and how novel and special the words were, Master Changkong just smiled and listened quietly.

It was as if Liu Jiuning was talking about an ordinary thing.

Liu Jiuning also knew that it was impossible to change the old monk's mind of walking around in a short period of time. After drinking two cups of tea, he planned to change the subject first. Very curious, he asked, "Master Changkong, how old are you?"

It seems that since she met the old monk, he has always looked like this.

It's been more than ten years, but the eyebrows are a little longer.

"The poor monk is still nine years away from a small wish of the benefactor of Nine Nings." Master Changkong replied with a smile, twisting his long beard.

Liu Jiuning was stunned for a long time before finding a certain memory in her mind.A few months ago, when she was seriously ill, she pulled the old monk's sleeve and asked if she could fulfill her little wish of living to 99 years old.

There are still nine years before 99!

She stared at the old monk in front of her with wide eyes, looked up, down, left, and right, and said in surprise, "Are you ninety?"

Liu Jiuning knew that the old monk was old, but he didn't expect to be 90 years old. Even in his previous life, when medical technology was extremely advanced, he rarely lived to this age.In ancient times, anyone who lived to fifty was an old man!

What's more, the old monk's movements are extremely vigorous on weekdays.

She looked healthier and more energetic than her, a young girl who was in her cardamom years.

She stared at the old monk in front of her for a long time, then suddenly sighed faintly, and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have entered that nunnery, and I will study Buddhism with you for a few years. I don't ask for 99, [-] is enough. .”

Do not ask.

Asking is a bit regretful.
