"I remember that year, the Ai family went to Wanfo Temple to worship Buddha. At the gate of the Wanfo Temple, they saw a baby girl. At that time, the abbot of the Wanfo Temple persuaded the Ai family to do good deeds and adopt the baby girl.
The abbot's words at that time have been kept in the hearts of the Ai family for more than ten years and have never been forgotten."
The Queen Mother's eyes became misty.
She began to recall events from more than ten years ago.
"Ruyi, do you want to know what the abbot said back then?"
"Royal Grandmother, please speak."
In fact, what Nalan Ruyi really wanted to say in her heart was, "Ruyi doesn't want to hear it, Grandma Huang, do you want to talk about it or not."
"Back then, the abbot looked at the baby girl, glanced at her face, and told the Ai family for sure that this little girl was born with a phoenix life! When she grows up, her mother will be extremely precious to the world.
I will definitely become the mother of the world!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh as she recalled the past events.
"The Ai family was shocked at the time. Could this little girl be the future queen? But the abbot of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was so virtuous and respected, and what he said was never false. It was impossible for the Ai family
I don’t believe it. So, the Ai family took the little girl back to the palace and kept her by their side. You must have heard about this, right?"
This incident indeed caused a sensation in the palace at that time.
Of course, the Queen Mother herself kept the secret very closely, for fear that it would be detrimental to the little girl if others knew about it.
But no matter how tightly the Queen Mother herself hid it, she could not withstand the gossip of those who were curious.
Soon, rumors spread quietly among the harem as to why the Queen Mother went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and brought back a little girl to raise.
Next, several strange things happened, which added a bit of authenticity to this rumor.
It is said that after the little girl moved into Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother suddenly woke up that night.
She got up immediately, opened the door, and looked into the yard. She saw a golden phoenix flying and dancing in the sky.
The golden phoenix almost illuminated the entire Ci'an Palace. Finally, the phoenix actually flew into the room where the little girl lived.
What's even more strange is that when the golden phoenix entered the little girl's room, it chirped three times, "Clang, Clang, Clang".
After three phoenix calls, the phoenix flew to the bed where the little girl was lying. Finally, it lay down where the little girl was sleeping and became one with the little girl!
This magical thing made the Queen Mother even more convinced that this little girl must be born with a phoenix destiny and will definitely become a queen in the future!
Next, several strange things happened. First, a jade pendant with a phoenix carved on it suddenly appeared on the little girl's neck.
The jade pendant is so vividly carved that it almost looks like it is alive.
A few days later, the parrot in the Queen Mother's palace suddenly shouted to the room where the little girl was: "Phoenix life, phoenix life, the born phoenix life is so precious!"
Various legends spread among the harem.
At that time, Nalan Ruyi's mother had already been made empress. The Queen Mother was afraid of arousing Nalan Ruyi's mother's suspicion, so she had to tell clearly what happened in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
