In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1007: The So-Called "Equality Among All Beings"!

Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: The So-Called "Equality Among All Beings"!

After the Little Sami had accommodated Su Pan’er and her entourage in a tranquil Zen Room, he finally bowed and exited.

"Empress, please rest first. Later, this novice will bring vegetarian dishes and clean water for the Empress. If the Empress has any orders, just call this novice, who will be outside."

"Understood, you may leave!"

Su Pan’er waved the Little Sami away, then began to survey the furnishings around her. The Zen Room was simple but fully equipped, containing all the necessary items. Near the window, there was even a tatami mat spread with a straw mat. Several Palace Maids stood to one side, apparently having arrived earlier to clean up the place.

"All of you, leave."

The Palace Maids curtseyed swiftly and silently before exiting the Zen Room. As they left, they considerately closed the door to the Zen Room.

When she was alone, Su Pan’er finally relaxed and rested on the wooden bed for a while.

In the past, Liu Lijin had sought her help to treat her illness. The affliction, a result of poorly managed confinement period, was neither serious nor minor. It could not only deplete a woman’s health but also lead to infertility and eventually lead to a wasted and skeletal death.

Unfortunately, a sudden fire at Huangjue Temple disrupted everything. Even the medicinal ingredients she was supposed to give to Liu Lijin ended up being delivered to her by Qin Hong’s subordinates. She had no idea if they had been received.

Every time Su Pan’er thought of Liu Lijin, she inevitably remembered her nominal mother, Young Mrs. Liu.

Since she had become Empress, Qin Yi inevitably rewarded the Liu Family. Unexpectedly, those from the Liu Family didn’t come to her. Su Pan’er found this surprising!

After all, Liu Yankang had sought her out several times in the past. Now that she was Empress, wasn’t that the best opportunity for him to extort her?

Especially her so-called younger sister, Liu Lijin!

She wondered if the other woman was still in the Quiet Cloud Nunnery?

Thinking hazily about these matters, Su Pan’er didn’t even know when she fell asleep.

By the time she woke up, the sky had already begun to darken.

The grand hall had sent someone to deliver the vegetarian meal.

The vegetarian dish was quite abundant, not just beautiful in color, but also varied in type—vegetarian brocade, vegetarian fish, Arhat’s vegetarian dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, vegetarian abalone, cashew corn...and other dishes were all rich in color, fragrance, and flavor. It whetted one’s appetite greatly!

Su Pan’er picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of the Vegetarian Leg. She couldn’t tell how the Vegetarian Leg was made; it looked just like the real thing, with layers of fat and lean meat, which fascinated her.

"These vegetarian dishes look like meat, but in reality, they are all made by the temple’s head chef, who skillfully transforms flour to create vegetarian dishes full of color, fragrance, and flavor. This Vegetarian Leg, for example, not only looks like the usual braised pork leg, but eating it is also like real pork, with the fat being greasy and the lean meat chewy, without a trace of bean taste!"

The Little Sami explained the dishes proudly as he arranged them for Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er chewed slowly and nodded repeatedly.

To be able to craft tofu with the distinct textures of fat and lean meat, the head chef of Huangjue Temple was indeed remarkable!

"Excellent! Truly delicious. Jiu Lan, grant a reward! Additionally, allocate one thousand taels of silver under my name to the temple as donations," Su Pan’er said nonchalantly, her hand with the chopsticks aiming for another dish, Steamed White Buddha Hand.

The Little Sami was clearly delighted, promptly bringing his hands together: "Thank you, Empress! May Buddha’s compassion be upon us!"

Su Pan’er lowered her gaze to hide the sneer in her eyes.

She remembered the time she visited Huangjue Temple with Mrs. Zhang to pray; they also stayed in a Zen Room. Back then, they ate like ordinary people, fetching their meals from the dining hall without the variety of dishes available now.

But now that she was Empress, not only did she enjoy the best Zen Room, but even the vegetarian dishes were quite different!

So-called "Equality Among All Beings" appears to be treated likewise in front of Buddhism!

After having her fill, Su Pan’er awarded the remaining vegetarian dishes to the Palace Maids and Eunuchs who had accompanied her to share.

The Little Sami stood calmly not far from Su Pan’er, his demeanor one of inward reflection, as if he were watching his nose, his nose watching his heart.

"Little Master, are there any Incense Guests in the Huangjue Temple today?"

"Empress, this humble novice is not aware of such matters. I am only responsible for whatever tasks the Empress has assigned to me. If the Empress is interested in this matter, I can inquire with the brother who guards the mountain gate for the Empress." The Little Sami brought his palms together in a gesture unshaken by external disturbances.

"Very well."

The flicker in Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled, her smile exceptionally gentle.

Getting rid of this obstructive Little Sami would make it easier for her to act, wouldn’t it?

After the Little Sami had left, Su Pan’er tidied herself up and then stepped out, heading towards the Quiet Cloud Nunnery opposite the Huangjue Temple.

The sky was gradually darkening, with the night sky’s stars embellishing the azure vastness, and a waning moon hung high, illuminating the mountain landscape.

She directly crossed the mountain stream and made her way towards the Quiet Cloud Nunnery.

The Quiet Cloud Nunnery was clearly more serene than the Huangjue Temple. Even though it was nearing the end of summer and the weather was hot, the nunnery was still enveloped in mist. The quietude was palpable and deathly still, a chilling atmosphere hitting one in the face as if to make breathing difficult, a particularly oppressive and eerie feeling.

"Who is there?"

It was not until she reached a corner ahead, ascended the stone steps, and arrived outside the grand hall that someone approached from afar with a lantern and casually called out.

"It’s me."

Su Pan’er casually walked a few steps forward, standing in the light.

The bright moon in the night sky shone down, illuminating Su Pan’er’s face.

The person who had come over was evidently a young nun with hair, who used her lantern to repeatedly cast light on Su Pan’er’s face, obviously not recognizing her, and spoke with a stern rebuke.

"This is the ancestral hall; after dark, we do not entertain guests. If the Lady Benefactor has any business, please come back tomorrow when it is light!"

Su Pan’er’s eyebrows raised sharply!

"Insolent! How dare you show disrespect to the Empress!"

Jiu Lan, who was beside her, immediately stepped forward: "This is the current Empress, how dare you block her way? Scram!"

The Empress?

The young nun trembled all over, barely able to hold the lantern steady. She immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, repeatedly knocking her forehead on the ground.

"The nun did not know of the Empress’s presence and has offended the Empress; I beg for the Empress’s forgiveness!"

"Ignorance is not a sin; rise!"

Su Pan’er had no intention of stooping to her level and walked further inside: "Where is the abbess of this nunnery? Tell her to come out to see me."

"This..."

The young nun hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly followed, showing some hesitation: "Empress, it is currently the time for evening prayers, and the Abbess is conducting services with the sisters. Please wait a moment, Empress, allow me to convey the message."

Su Pan’er did not respond, but continued to stride inward.

Seeing that the young nun was following again, Jiu Lan behind her hurriedly lowered her voice to reprimand.

"Now go!"
