Fuqu followed her for a while, then cautiously raised her head, pointed to the sky and swore: "This little demon is deeply grateful for the Holy Venerable's great grace, and will uphold the Great Dao and dare not disobey. If I harbor any evil thoughts, may I be punished by heaven and earth."
Asagi also swore an oath.
The vows of a practitioner are never a joke.
Jiang Shumiao smiled. "Yes, very good."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Shumiao was so tired that she jumped off the stool, closed her eyes, and climbed onto the bed.
"I'm going to sleep for a while, don't wake me up."
Fuqu wanted to say that you haven't had lunch yet, but Qianli tugged at her sleeve. "The Holy Venerable just cast a spell, so she must have used up too much energy. Let's not disturb her. Go and inform the Princess."
Jiang Shumiao slept straight through to the next day.
She opened her eyes and saw her mother dozing beside her.
"mother."
Xiao Yitang wasn't a deep sleeper, and upon hearing her voice, he immediately opened his eyes, hurriedly walked over, and anxiously asked, "Miaomiao, you're finally awake! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Just as Jiang Shumiao was about to speak, her stomach started growling.
She said with a pitiful look, "I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's go eat now."
Xiao Yitang picked her up and carried her to the Old Madam's Pine and Crane Hall.
Jiang Zhixu has already gone to court, Jiang Yiqing has gone to the Censorate, and Jiang Yining has gone to school.
When the old lady saw the mother and daughter coming over, she quickly got up.
“Vast and insignificant”.
Jiang Shumiao was hugged by her again. "Grandma, I'm so hungry."
The old lady said kindly, "The kitchen is already preparing. How about we have some snacks to tide us over?"
Jiang Shumiao nodded frantically.
As long as there's food, that's fine.
She had milk cake in her mouth and pea flour cake and water chestnut cake in her hands.
They wolfed it down.
Xiao Yitang was heartbroken.
My daughter only ate breakfast yesterday and hasn't eaten anything all day.
They must be starving!
The old lady gently patted her back, saying, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
The four plates of snacks weren't much in total, and Jiang Shumiao finished them quickly, barely managing to fill a gap between her teeth.
Fortunately, the kitchen staff were quick and cooked her a big bowl of noodles.
As she ate, she buried her face in her bowl, then suddenly remembered something, looked up, and mumbled, "I still have to go to school."
While wiping the grease from the corner of her mouth, Xiao Yitang said, "I've asked someone to give you leave. You don't need to go to the Imperial Academy today."
Jiang Shumiao was overjoyed and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Mom is the best."
Seeing that she had become lively and energetic again, Xiao Yitang also smiled.
As Jiang Shumiao ate, the dishes were served one after another.
A table was laden with delicious chicken, duck, fish, and meat dishes, all of which ended up in her stomach; she even ate the broth mixed with rice.
She always had a big appetite, and this time she was extremely hungry. Xiao Yitang hesitated and asked, "Are you full?"
Jiang Shumiao patted her round little belly and said contentedly, "I'm full. I'll eat again at noon."
Xiao Yitang originally wanted to ask her what happened yesterday, but she jumped off the stool and ran out to digest her food.
When Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Yiqing returned in the afternoon, they saw her sitting by the pond in the back garden, her two short legs kicking in the water.
Instead of swimming away, the koi in the water circled around her.
"You can't eat koi fish, but you should all strive to improve yourselves and cultivate human form like Sister Qianli. Maybe you can even achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality in the future."
Koi No. 1: "We'd like to too, but the mortal realm is too turbid, how can we cultivate?"
Jiang Shumiao: "My grandmother was a Buddhist and chanted scriptures every day. You have been listening to Buddhist chants for so long, yet you have not been able to grasp any of the true meaning. You are really dull-witted."
Koi No. 2 looked pitiful, saying, "The old lady is chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall, so we can't hear her."
Jiang Shumiao tilted her head. "It seems so. How about I take you to the lake behind the Imperial Academy? You can hear the sound of students reading aloud there."
"Really?"
"Okay, okay."
The koi all swarmed up, leaping and bounding.
Jiang Shumiao chuckled.
Jiang Yiqing watched from a distance, saying, "My sister is having fun, let's not disturb her."
Jiang Zhixu nodded.
Yesterday, Fuqu only said that his daughter had overdone her spells and was exhausted, needing rest. He was worried that his daughter might be unwell. Now that he saw her lively and energetic, he was finally relieved.
In the evening, Jiang Yining returned, followed by a group of children. As soon as she entered the door, she started chattering excitedly.
"Miaomiao, Master said you were sick. Are you better now?"
This is the fifth princess.
The crown prince followed behind, clearly acting as a guardian.
Little Fatty Liu Jing'an's eyes were sparkling. "Miaomiao, I heard from Daddy that you defeated that Penglai Immortal yesterday. You're so amazing!"
"Are there really immortals in the world?"
"Not an immortal, but a big bad guy. My father said it's some kind of evil..."
"Heretical cultivators".
The Fifth Prince took over the conversation.
"Yes, heretical cultivators."
"Miaomiao, what is an evil cultivator?"
"He's a bad guy."
Jiang Shumiao explained simply, “If you harm many people, you will be punished in the thirteenth level of the Blood Pool Hell after death. So you must remember that you must not do evil, and you must not gossip behind people's backs. After death, you will go to the Steamer Hell, where you will be steamed like steamed buns, and then you will go to the Tongue-Pulling Hell, where your tongues will be pulled out.”
These kids have all been "beaten" and are not easily frightened to tears now, but when they hear that their tongues are to be pulled out, many of them still instinctively cover their mouths and look scared.
Jiang Shumiao laughed again, "But if you do more good deeds, you will accumulate merit, and no ghosts or monsters can get close to you."
