After Lin Qinshuang arrived in the capital, she did not go to Prince Wen's Mansion, but followed Princess Pingqin directly to the women's temple outside the city.
When they arrived at the women's temple, the old princess was already waiting in front of the temple gate. Seeing Lin Qinshuang getting off the carriage, the old princess smiled and stepped forward to help her up.
Stopping Madam Lin and Lin Qinshuang as they were about to pay their respects, the old princess said to Madam Lin, "When you come to this temple, we are all fellow Taoists. There is no need to worry about those worldly etiquette. Pingqin has a connection with you, and with me as well. Just treat this place as your own home and live comfortably."
Mrs. Lin was supported by the maid beside her. It was her first time meeting the princess and the princess, so she was a little nervous. Her body was trembling slightly as she was supported, and she looked even more petty.
Lin Qinshuang was very brave. With a sweet smile on her face, she said to the old princess, "Can I call you grandmother?"
The old princess was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Qinshuang, seeing the innocence in her eyes. She touched Lin Qinshuang's head and said, "Okay, call me Grandma from now on. Tell me, Grandma, what is your name?"
Lin Qinshuang took the old princess's hand and replied, "Grandma, my nickname is Xiaoliang, and my full name is Lin Qinshuang."
The old princess glanced at Princess Pingqin, then took Lin Qinshuang's hand and walked into the temple, saying, "Xiaoliang, are you hungry?"
Lin Qinshuang glanced back at Madam Lin and saw that she was being supported by someone following behind. She turned around and said to the old princess with a smile, "Grandma, Xiaoliang just had two snacks in the carriage and is not very hungry."
Princess Pingqin followed behind the two of them and couldn't help laughing when she heard the old princess calling Lin Qinshuang by her nickname.
The old princess looked back, and Princess Pingqin quickly stepped forward to support the old princess and said, "Mother, Xiaoliang is still young after all."
The old princess shook her head and said, "Nothing. A child should behave like a child. Being courageous is a good thing. I despise those who are timid."
When the meal started, Lin Qinshuang's face suddenly turned bitter when she saw the two small bowls of vegetables and a bowl of tofu soup on the table.
When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Qinshuang's face change, she was anxious and wanted to pull Lin Qinshuang to pay attention.
The old princess waved her hand and said, "My child, it's only right that you like to eat good food. Just make do with it today. The chef from the south won't be here until tomorrow, so you can enjoy southern dishes early tomorrow morning."
After hearing this, Lin Qinshuang put on a smile again and said coquettishly, "Grandma, you are so good to Xiaoliang. Xiaoliang will definitely be filial to you."
These words made the old princess laugh out loud. The little girl, who was only three inches tall, dared to say anything. After laughing, the old princess did not take it seriously.
Life in the women's temple was pretty much the same every day. They would wake up early to do their homework, eat breakfast, and then start copying scriptures. In the afternoon, they would gather together to listen to sermons, and then continue copying scriptures before dinner.
Within three days, the excitement that Lin Qinshuang had felt when she first arrived in the capital disappeared, and she became listless.
Mrs. Lin advised Lin Qinshuang to calm down and do her homework, but Lin Qinshuang was not interested.
When the old princess found out, she sent Nanny Jiang to find Lin Qinshuang.
"Hello, grandma." Lin Qinshuang came in jogging and stopped when she was two steps away from the old princess.
Seeing Lin Qinshuang stumbling as she saluted, the old princess's eyebrows were wrinkled like caterpillars.
Nanny Jiang waited by the side, watching intently, and soon heard the old princess ask, "Xiaoliang, do you want to know how women from aristocratic families perform formal greetings?"
Lin Qinshuang raised her head and nodded, saying, "Xiaoliang wants to see it."
After saying that, Lin Qinshuang walked to the side of the old princess. The old princess asked Lin Qinshuang to sit next to her and said to Jiang Mama, "It's time for you to come out."
After responding, Nanny Jiang slowly walked up to the two of them, took their hands, and bowed.
Her clothes didn't move at all, but her figure was very graceful.
Although Nanny Jiang looks very ordinary, her polite manners make people feel that she comes from a noble family.
