Jiang Jingyu was already sitting in front of the stone table. Jiang Jingzhan, who had followed his sister's instructions not to get too close to her, found a random spot and sat on the stone wall beside the pond.
He supported himself on the stone wall with his hands, and his legs hanging in front of the stone wall swayed slightly. A smile hung between his eyebrows, and he looked at Jiang Jingyu who was eating buns with a satisfied look on his face.
"Is it tasty?"
Jiang Jingyu nodded and picked up another small piece of pie.
"If Yu'er likes to eat it, then my brother will eat it every day..."
"No, please don't. The vegetarian food in the temple is also very delicious. My royal brother, please return home immediately today."
Jiang Jingyu quickly rejected Jiang Jingzhan's plan.
Jiang Jingzhan was a little disappointed after being rejected, and tried to persuade her again: "But Yu'er, you have to stay here for a whole year. One or two days is fresh, but it will get boring after a long time. I am a little worried."
"Who said I'm alone? Master Liaochen will always be with me."
Jiang Jingyu didn't even raise her head and took a sip of the porridge.
Lechen, who had just stepped onto the stairs, happened to hear her say this. He paused slightly, and his heart seemed to be hit by something.
"Well, then I will set off for the capital today. If you ever feel bored, please send a message to me, okay? I will come to you as soon as possible."
"I know, I know. When did my royal brother become so procrastinating?"
Jiang Jingyu responded casually, and did not forget to complain about Jiang Jingzhan.
Jiang Jingzhan shrugged his shoulders after being criticized by his own sister. Did he want to be like this? It was just that she was his sister, and he couldn't help but nag her.
Lechen, whose figure was hidden by the crabapple tree in the yard, calmed himself down and walked down slowly.
"Master Liaochen is here!"
Jiang Jingzhan was facing the attic. When he saw Chen, he jumped down from the pond and performed a Buddhist salute to him.
Lechen is the one who is supposed to remove the curse for Jiang Jingyu. Jiang Jingzhan treats him with great respect, without any airs of a prince.
Jiang Jingyu looked at Lechen in feigned surprise: "Master Lechen, why…"
"Master Liaochen, please take a seat. I bought some hot buns and pies in town when I came here. Don't worry, they're all vegetarian!"
Before Jiang Jingyu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Jingzhan. Jiang Jingzhan enthusiastically made a gesture of invitation to Chen, indicating that he should sit down and eat with Jiang Jingyu.
Lechen finally sat down opposite Jiang Jingyu, while Jiang Jingzhan obediently returned to his previous seat and watched the two of them eat.
"The buns my royal brother bought are delicious. Master Liaochen, please try them."
Jiang Jingyu took a bun and handed it to Lechen. Lechen hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to take it.
The moment Liaochen took the bun, Jiang Jingyu didn't even bother to eat. She looked at him expectantly. As soon as Liaochen took a bite, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is it delicious?"
Lechen, who hadn't tasted the flavor yet, nodded slightly.
Jiang Jingyu smiled, and then pushed the oil-paper package containing the pie in front of Lechen: "The pie is delicious too, Master Lechen, try some too."
Lechen's eyes were indifferent, and he lowered his eyes and ate the bun in his hand.
It was the first time that Jiang Jingyu ate at the same table with Lechen. During the meal, she kept looking at him intentionally or unintentionally. This man ate slowly and leisurely, and his every move revealed his elegance and nobility.
Seeing how harmoniously Jiang Jingyu and Lechen got along, Jiang Jingzhan smiled with satisfaction.
Although Master Lechen speaks less, it is better than the imperial sister staying here alone with no one to talk to.
"Yu'er, is there anything else you want? I'll bring it to you when my brother comes to see you."
Jiang Jingyu turned her head to look at Jiang Jingzhan and said incoherently: "There really is one!"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Jiang Jingyu quickly swallowed the bun in her mouth and said to Jiang Jingzhan, "I want a high-quality Buddhist string bead. Master Lechen gave me his, and I want to give Master Lechen another one!"
Jiang Jingzhan had already noticed the Buddhist beads around his sister's neck and nodded decisively: "No problem, I'll have someone go get all the best Buddhist beads and bring them to Yu'er!"
Jiang Jingyu's eyes curved: "Thank you, my...hiccup...brother!"
Jiang Jingyu choked because she ate too fast just now.
Just as she was about to pat her chest, a cup of tea was handed to her. It was handed to her by Liaochen from the opposite side.
Jiang Jingyu took the teacup without saying a word, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, and the lump in her chest was finally pushed down.
"Yu'er, slow down!"
Jiang Jingzhan was watching anxiously from the side. He was about to rush over but stopped halfway when he saw Jiang Jingyu's flushed face return to normal.
"Royal brother, I'm fine."
Jiang Jingyu patted his chest and placed the teacup in his hand on the stone table.
Under Lechen's supervision, Jiang Jingyu went to the Buddhist temple on time every day to worship Buddha and recite scriptures. Seeing that the time had come, Jiang Jingyu had to urge Jiang Jingzhan to leave first.
Jiang Jingzhan was already very satisfied to be able to stay with the imperial sister and talk for a few words. In order to delay Jiang Jingyu from worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures, he gave her some more instructions before leaving. He turned around and left only after Jiang Jingyu agreed to all his instructions.
After sending Jiang Jingzhan away, Jiang Jingyu turned around and returned to the yard. Lechen, who had finished his meal, was no longer there, and the oil paper bag on the stone table had been cleaned up by him.
Jiang Jingyu walked straight towards the Buddhist temple, and her attention was instantly attracted by Lechen who was meditating in front of the big Buddha.
She looked at Lechen's back, walked step by step to her own mat, lifted up her dress and sat beside Lechen.
After practicing meditation with Chen for several days in a row, Jiang Jingyu's beating of the wooden fish was no longer as random as it was at the beginning. There was some pattern in the chaos.
Putting aside what happened last night, Lechen was quite satisfied with Jiang Jingyu's performance in the past few days. He had seen all her progress.
Lechen's frown gradually relaxed, and he meditated and chanted scriptures with Jiang Jingyu.
At first everything was normal, and Jiang Jingyu was beating the wooden fish properly, but as she was beating it a little, the sound of the wooden fish became disordered again.
Jiang Jingyu's eyelids opened and closed and gradually became blurry. She had just eaten too much and felt sleepy when she was full. In addition, she had been through a lot last night, and Jiang Jingyu could not bear it any longer.
She tried her best to keep her eyes open and force herself to stay awake, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness and soon she dozed off with her head nodding.
Boom——
Jiang Jingyu struck the wooden fish using muscle memory. After the sound of the wooden fish faded away, he struck it again, but gradually the sound disappeared.
Although Lechen was beating the wooden fish all the time, he was also thinking about Jiang Jingyu. When he heard no movement beside him, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look over, and saw that Jiang Jingyu was dozing off little by little.
Lechen looked at her quietly without making any sound to wake her up.
Jiang Jingyu, who had fallen into a drowsy state, nodded more and more vigorously. Just as she was about to fall forward, Lechen reached out and supported her chin...
