The day after the flower banquet, Ruan Xi’s energy levels were not the best because she had dreamt through the night.

The dream featured Wen Ting Zhou and her.

Ruan Xi wore a slightly bitter smile, it was just a hug and forehead kiss that could not count for a kiss, and yet she was showing such a large reaction to it.

This was bad, she had to stay calm.

Owing to her heart condition in her last life, Ruan Xi had never thought about being in a relationship or getting married. Towards romantic love and deep affection, she merely had a theoretical understanding which was useless in practice, and she did not know what it was like to be in a relationship.

But now she understood.

Ruan Xi felt like she was losing too much of her composure and she needed to strengthen it and practice her deep breathing exercises.

After consuming her breakfast, Ruan Xi could not help but ask Mama Lin for her opinion.

“Mama Lin, I would like to delve into several Buddhist scriptures that can quieten one’s mind, do you have any suggestions?”

Mama Lin paused, giving her Fourth Young Lady a strange look. “Fourth Young Lady, yõu have a solemn personality, studying Buddhist scriptures is not necessary. Yõu can practice more calligraphy or polish yõur painting skills instead.”

Ruan Xi pursed her lips, displaying a perfectly composed smile, “I prefer Buddhist scriptures.”

“Study the Avatamsaka Sutra of the Huayan school then, Lao Furen is usually fond of studying that Buddhist scripture.” Mama Lin replied after a brief though.

At the side, a peculiar smear flashed past Mama Yang’s eyes as she suddenly interrupted with one line, “If the Fourth Young Lady wishes to study Buddhist scriptures, apart from the Avatamsaka Sutra, she can consider studying the Diamond Sutra.”

Ruan Xi did not expect that Mama Yang, who had been taciturn and scarce with words, would suddenly choose to speak out.

When Mama Lin heard Mama Yang suggest that the Fourth Young Lady could study the Diamond Sutra, she felt that it was doable.

“Fourth Young Lady, the Diamond Sutra teaches a person how to cultivate happiness and wisdom while liberating oneself from attachment, you can attempt to study the Sutra.”

Once Ruan Xi heard Mama Yang bring up the Diamond Sutra, she went silent for a long moment. If her memory did not fail her, the female protagonist Mu Qing Ci had started to delve into and copy the Diamond Sutra under Mama Yang’s suggestion.

When the female protagonist met Mu taifei afterwards, Mu taifei had learned of the fact that Mu Qing Ci was fond of copying the Diamond Sutra from a young age, and after seeing her hand-copied Buddhist scripture, the good feelings she had towards the female protagonist increased.

Truth to be told, everything was part of Mama Yang’s meticulous planning.

Although there were young ladies who adapted their tastes later on, they were not the first; they had no way of entering Mu taifei’s eyes and their efforts were fruitless.

Mu taifei pursued beauty like it was a disease, to the extent where she was unwilling to become pregnant and give birth to a child. For the sake of the Mu Family, for the sake of cementing her position and imperial favour, she could only borrow a surrogate, secretly getting rid of the mother later and leaving behind the child.

When it came to the women in the palace, who didn’t have their hands stained with a few lives? Mu taifei was not an exception either.

However, Mu taifei was different from the rest. She believed that having lives on her hands would affect her beauty, so Mu taifei studied and transcribed the Diamond Sutra to remove karmic consequences under a Great Master’s suggestion.
