At night, the crescent moon scattered a bright white frosted light over the quiet Tais.h.i.+ Monastery, making it look even more Zen-like and extremely tranquil.

In the meditation room where dinner was served, warm candle lights were lit.

The empress had rested for a while and changed into a warm blue dress. Her complexion looked much better now.

She only took a few bites and then stopped eating, focusing only on taking care of Gu Nuo’er.

She picked a piece of tofu and placed it in Gu Nuo’er’s bowl, using her chopsticks to help her mash it.

The minced tofu with the sauce covered the white rice grains and immediately emitted an alluring fragrance.

Gu Nuo’er rubbed her hands and picked up the spoon to take a bite.

Her chubby cheeks puffed up slightly, and her fair and rosy face was filled with satisfaction!

This tasted even more fragrant than eating meat!

Immediately after, the monks served up stir-fried mushrooms and vegetables and yam porridge. These were all made from ingredients that were all planted in the garden behind the monastery.

Not only were the colors of the ingredients fresh, but the taste was also excellent.

Gu Nuo’er ate happily and the empress kept taking care of her with a gentle smile. “Good Nuo’er, eat slowly.”

The child ate the vegetables noisily and used her chopsticks to poke the mushrooms like candied hawthorns.

Her pink lips were sparkling, and she even got some sauce on her face.

“Empress Mother,” Gu Nuo’er said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “I feel so happy. I’ve decided that when I grow up in the future, I’ll take out five days each month to be a monk!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her chuckled.

Wanyin wiped the sauce off Gu Nuo’er’s cheeks. “Princess, are you doing this for the vegetarian food here?”

“That’s right! The food here is so good! Monk grandpa is so blissful to be able to eat it every day!” Gu Nuo’er said softly.

The empress smiled. “Nuo’er, do you really think so? You have to know that if you become a monk, you won’t be free to eat candies usually.

“Not only will Master take you in rein, but Buddha will also do the same. The monks are all learning to restrain their emotions and desires. They can’t just do whatever they want.”

Gu Nuo’er immediately widened her black eyes.

Even if they wanted to eat candy, did they have to ask Buddha for permission?

Wanyin added, “That’s not all. In the few days when the Princess were to be a monk, you wouldn’t be able to look at beautiful young masters and young ladies. It’d be wrong even if you want to listen to interesting stories!”

As soon as Wanyin finished speaking, Gu Nuo’er let out a cry and held onto her shaking head with her two small hands. “I won’t be a monk, I won’t be a monk! The life of a monk is so tough!”

After saying that, the child pushed her bowl in front of Wanyin.

“The princess is full?”

“Another bowl!”

Since she couldn’t be a monk and enjoy these delicacies in the future, she should eat more of them now.

After eating and drinking her fill, Gu Nuo’er touched her bulging stomach and burped contentedly.

Empress Du was going to attend the monks’ evening cla.s.s and listen to the scriptures.

As simplicity was important in Buddhism, the empress could only bring a maidservant along with her.

Mu Shuzhen was really a Dao cultivator, so she used it as an excuse to wait outside and not enter with the empress. A’Yun accompanied the empress instead.

Empress Du asked Wanyin to bring Gu Nuo’er back to her room to have an early rest.

“Nuo’er, refrain from running around at night. You mustn’t leave the monastery,” Empress Du reminded gently.

The child nodded. “Don’t worry, Empress Mother!”

After watching A’Yun help Empress Du to leave, Gu Nuo’er was about to return to her room when she heard a call from behind.

“Princess, this servant has something to say.”

Gu Nuo’er turned around. “Elder Sister Shuzhen~ What’s the matter?”

Mu Shuzhen bit her lip and hesitated. After a moment, she mustered up her courage. “That Young Master Ye beside the princess is actually…”
