Jiang Jingyu looked up at Chen, then rested her chin on her knees.
"Mother's birthday is coming soon."
Because of the curse, Jiang Jingyu hasn't celebrated her mother's birthday with her for ten years.
In order to make them dislike her and stay away from her, Jiang Jingyu has been deliberately ignoring her closest relatives for the past ten years. She has barely spoken to them, let alone preparing a birthday gift.
Whenever her mother's birthday was approaching, she would feel extremely depressed and would struggle between preparing a birthday gift and not preparing one.
After hearing this, Lechen probably guessed what she was thinking and walked up to her.
"when?"
Jiang Jingyu said in a muffled voice: "There is still a month left."
Lechen estimated the time and looked down at Jiang Jingyu in front of him: "One month is enough."
"Um?"
Jiang Jingyu raised her head with a puzzled look: "What do you mean by enough?"
Liaochen explained: "Yu'er prepared a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, that's enough."
"Preparing a birthday gift? But I haven't prepared one for my mother in the past ten years. She must be very disappointed in me as her daughter."
Lechen squatted down in front of Jiang Jingyu and raised his hand to smooth the loose hair on her forehead.
"No, Yu'er, don't think too much. His Majesty and the Queen have tried every possible way to remove the curse from you. In their hearts, you have always been their beloved and precious treasure."
"Before, you deliberately ignored them because you didn't want them to get hurt. As your closest relatives, they will definitely understand your pain, but now it's different. Now that Yu'er is in Luoxia Peak, the curse on her body will no longer harm her blood relatives far away in the Imperial City. Yu'er, there is no need to restrain yourself. Just do whatever you want."
Lechen looked at Jiang Jingyu with gentle eyes and spoke to comfort her.
Jiang Jingyu looked up at him, hesitation in her eyes. "As long as the curse on me isn't removed, they'll be in constant danger. I'm afraid the things I send will harm our mother. Master Liaochen, do you think I'll never be able to get close to them in this lifetime?"
"No, when Yu'er reaches the age of marriage, the curse will surely be lifted. Then she can return to the palace to reunite with her family, and no longer have to endure the pain of being unable to be close to her blood relatives."
Jiang Jingyu was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head, his eyes were determined.
"I believe what Master Lechen said, but there's only a month left. I don't have enough time to prepare a birthday gift for my mother. I don't have any special skills, and there's nothing I can do for her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lechen grabbed Jiang Jingyu's hand and led her up from the door.
"Who said Yu'er doesn't have any special skills?"
Liaochen brought Jiang Jingyu to the Sutra Library and took out a copy of the Diamond Sutra from the shelf.
"Yu'er can copy the Diamond Sutra to pray for the Queen. The Queen will surely be delighted when she sees Yu'er's handwritten copy of the Diamond Sutra and regard it as her most precious birthday gift."
Jiang Jingyu took the Diamond Sutra from Chen's hand and flipped through two pages. Although she didn't understand it at all, she would copy it down.
Praying with scriptures is much more meaningful than giving away rare treasures. Why didn’t she think of it?
"Master Liaochen is right. I will start copying scriptures and praying for my mother!"
After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, she sat down at her desk holding the Diamond Sutra, picked up a wolf hair brush and began to copy it.
The Diamond Sutra has a lot of content. If Jiang Jingyu copied it alone, it would definitely be too late. Lechen lifted his desk and put it together with hers, and helped her copy it.
The two of them were copying the Diamond Sutra face to face. The sunlight poured in through the window lattice, casting their shadows on the ground. Outside the window, the crabapple blossoms were swaying, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the attic. A few small goldfish in the pond were chasing each other, and everywhere exuded the atmosphere of a peaceful and tranquil life.
The young monk returned to the Fo'an Temple and hid in his bed, feeling sad for a whole day and night. He did not want to face the fact that the female Bodhisattva had left.
Thinking of Brother Chen staying alone at Luoxia Peak, the young monk felt a little sorry for him, so he went to the kitchen, picked up the lunch box and went to Luoxia Peak to bring him food.
The young monk was stunned when he saw the two figures in the Sutra Library through the window lattice. He thought he was dazzled. He quickly put the food box on the ground and rubbed his eyes. When he looked closely, it was indeed the figure of the female Bodhisattva!
"Female Bodhisattva!"
The little monk's face lit up with joy instantly, and he ran towards the Sutra Library without even leaving his lunch box.
Jiang Jingyu, who was diligently copying the Diamond Sutra, didn't even bother to raise her head: "Hui En is here, come over and help."
The little monk looked at the two of them curiously and ran over to them: "Female Bodhisattva, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Jingyu pointed to the rice paper beside her and said, "Copy the Diamond Sutra."
The little monk stretched his neck to take a look at the Diamond Sutra on the desk, then ran to the side and brought over a cushion.
"Right on!"
The poor little monk was heartbroken for a whole day and night without anyone to comfort him, and was finally captured and forced to do hard labor to help copy the Diamond Sutra.
But the little monk enjoyed it very much. He sat in front of the desk and started copying with a brush in his hand.
Apart from eating, drinking and resting, Jiang Jingyu and Liaochen stayed in the Sutra Library to copy the Diamond Sutra. The little monk would stop to help when he came to deliver food every day. With the joint efforts of the three, a complete Diamond Sutra was finally copied.
Jiang Jingyu handed the copied Diamond Sutra to one of the secret guards and told him to ride as fast as possible to the imperial city.
Days passed by, and due to the urgency of time, the secret guards who were entrusted with the important task did not dare to delay for a moment along the way, and finally arrived at the palace before the queen's birthday.
The secret guards shortened the one-month journey to twenty days.
The Diamond Sutra that Jiang Jingyu handed over to the secret guard was soon presented to the queen by him.
When the queen learned that the secret guard was sent back by Jiang Jingyu, she thought something had happened and quickly summoned the person in.
"Did something happen to Yu'er?"
The queen stood up with an anxious look on her face and walked to the secret guard.
"The princess has something for me to hand over to you, Your Majesty."
"What?"
The secret guard took the Diamond Sutra out of his arms.
The Queen took the Diamond Sutra from the secret guard with doubt: "What is this?"
"This is the Diamond Sutra, which the princess copied herself, and is given to Her Majesty as a birthday gift."
Upon hearing this, the queen quickly opened the scripture in her hand, and her eyes suddenly warmed up when she saw the familiar handwriting.
"Yu, Yu'er's name, this is Yu'er's name!"
The queen's eyes were red, and her fingers gently stroked the scripture in front of her. She couldn't believe that Yu'er would personally copy the Diamond Sutra for her as a birthday gift.
The longing that had been accumulating for a long time suddenly became uncontrollable.
The queen sniffed and held the Diamond Sutra tightly in her arms.
"Come here, prepare the horses."
