"How about we go to Kutuo Temple outside the north city to worship Buddha and burn incense tomorrow? Bring Sister Ru and Xiao Yue'er with us." Yu Yuanzheng said her plan with a sly smile.

"Why do you want to go there?" Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand.

Although he had never been to that place, he knew where it was.

An exclusive place for women to practice cultivation.

In particular, girls from noble families in the capital who had made mistakes or had special reasons would be sent there.

Male guests are generally not allowed to enter, but they are allowed to enter if they have special status or to take care of the elders.

There are also some female elders in each family who don’t want to stay at home and can live there for a while to get some peace and quiet.

"Take Sister Ru to worship the Buddha and relax. Don't you think Sister Ru has never smiled in these days? Although it may not seem like a big deal on the surface, she will get sick if she keeps it to herself for a long time.

So let her go and worship the Buddha, tell him about her suffering, maybe she can turn the page on the past and start a new life." Yu Yuanzheng said clearly.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Let's get ready tomorrow, and I'll take you there the day after tomorrow." Shangguan Ziqi agreed without thinking twice.

As a result, the next day, Yu Yuanzheng talked to the princess and she wanted to go too.

Shangguan Ru didn't want to go at first, but after being persuaded by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she had to agree.

After Yu Chaoyang learned about it, he took the initiative to find the princess and asked to go with her.

Now it’s time, all the women in the palace will go.

Cao Nanhua had not returned from her parents' home yet. The princess did not care about her and did not care how long she stayed at her parents' home.

Although the princess is gentle, she also has a scale in her heart.

The next day, the entire royal family, in five carriages, left the north gate and headed for Kutuo Mountain.

Kutuan Temple is named after the name of this mountain.

Opposite to it is another mountain, Jinhua Mountain, on which the Huguo Temple is built.

It is higher than Mount Kutuo.

The carriage reached the foot of the mountain, but there was no carriage road leading up the mountain, so everyone had to get off and walk up the mountain.

Because the incense at Kutuo Mountain is not very popular and is far inferior to that of Huguo Temple, there is no business at the foot of the mountain. There is only a square for parking carriages, and no one is in charge. The owner arranges it on his own.

The abbess of Kutuo Temple had received the news long ago and sent people to wait at the foot of the mountain.

Shangguan Ziqi sent someone to say hello yesterday.

"Amitabha, I am honored to meet all the donors." A middle-aged nun saw the princess and her companions getting off the carriage and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Young Master, please don't bow." The princess returned the greeting. "Is Master Huizhen well?"

"The abbot is still ill, please follow me up the mountain."

The nun Huizhen mentioned by the princess is the abbess of Kutuo Temple.

Her identity was not simple, she was the aunt of the then emperor. Of course, she was not old, she was just born late and was only two years older than the emperor.

Because her husband died early and had no children, the princess had a very deep affection for her husband and was unwilling to remarry.

Given her status, she could definitely remarry. As long as she found a man from a humble family, it wouldn't be difficult to remarry.

But she became a nun a year after her husband's death and came to Kutuo Temple, where she stayed for so many years and later became the abbess.

䀴Because she was here, none of the women who were sent here dared to act rashly.

The royal family would also give some silver to the nuns every year so that they could survive.

Several maids each held a child.

The princess led the way and slowly went up the mountain.

She hadn't been here for a long time, since Shangguan Ziqi was ten years old.

At that time, Shangguan Ziqi was ill and could not be cured for a long time, so she came here to pray to Medicine King Bodhisattva for mercy.

It really worked. Three days after she prayed, Shangguan Ziqi's condition started to improve slowly.

So from that day on, the princess would send people to deliver some incense money every year.

Seeing the familiar mountain road, the princess revisited her hometown.

Shangguan Ru could hear the sound of nuns doing morning prayers from afar on the mountain.

She suddenly felt a sense of peace in her heart, and at the same time a sense of yearning.

"Sister-in-law, my younger sister also wants to come to this temple." Shangguan Ru suddenly said.

"Don't do that, sister. Be careful or Yue'er will cry in front of you if she finds out you have this idea." Yu Yuanzheng was shocked.

Don't be so pessimistic.

There is another top scholar waiting for her in Mingyang County.

"I was just saying." Shangguan Ru blushed.

"Alright, you should worship the Bodhisattva more later. You can tell the Bodhisattva anything you want to say. They can hear you. Just now on the road, Concubine Li told me that the Bodhisattva here is very spiritual."

Just now on the way, the princess told her the history and current situation of Kutu Temple, including the reason why she came to ask for blessings.

"That." Shangguan Ru put away the impulsive thought at that moment and looked back at her daughter who was being taken care of by Zhilan.

She still had responsibilities. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it after she had fulfilled her responsibilities.

Yu Chaoyang, who was walking silently at the back, also listened to the chanting and felt his heart calmed down.

But she never thought of becoming a nun.

The baby in Yinling's belly is her hope.

A group of people reached the top of the mountain.

The abbot, Master Huizhen, was already waiting for them at the mountain gate.

The princess was flattered to see the host come out in person to greet her.

This is an elder.

The princess took a few quick steps forward to greet him.

"Greetings, Master, why did you come out in person?" The princess was embarrassed.

"Amitabha." Master Huizhen smiled and made a Buddha's hand gesture.

The princess took the initiative to hold Master Huizhen's arm.

"We have only come here for fun these days, why do you have to do this, Master? Zheng'er, come, meet the master." The princess immediately asked Yu Yuanzheng to come and pay her respects.

Yu Yuanzheng was touched when she saw the compassionate look in the host's eyes.

Immediately stepped forward and greeted respectfully.

"Meet the host master."

Master Huizhen narrowed his eyes when he saw Yu Yuanzheng.

She had never seen this woman before, but she felt that she was a little strange.

His face showed that he was unlucky, even had a short life, but he gave birth to three children in one pregnancy, which made him obviously very lucky.

However, her skills are far inferior to those of the monks in Huguo Temple, and she can only see the surface.

"No need to be polite, young donor." Master Huizhen responded with a Buddha's hand and a smile.

"Dear donors, please follow me into the hall." Master Huizhen led the princess in front.

After entering the palace, the princess of course first worshipped various Bodhisattvas.

All the female members knelt down devoutly.

Even Yu Yuanzheng was pious.

She was able to travel through time and give birth to three babies in one pregnancy. Maybe it was some Bodhisattva who helped her.

In her heart, Bodhisattva is a god.

Perhaps Journey to the West had a profound influence on her.

Everyone worshipped all the Bodhisattvas in Kutuan Temple.

The temple is not very big, with only three halls.

Then they went their separate ways and the host invited the princess to her meditation room to chat alone.

Yu Yuanzheng came here today with a purpose.

"Sister Ru, come on, let's go around the Kutuo Temple together." Yu Yuanzheng pulled Shangguan Ru and was about to go alone.

Let Shangguan Ziqi look after the children. He came up the mountain every day just to look after the children, so that the women could have fun to their heart's content.

But Yu Yuanzheng knew that there were secret guards following her in the dark, so she didn't have to worry about her safety.

Yu Yuanzheng took Shangguan Ru to the back of the nunnery and walked slowly around it.

Until you reach the back kitchen of the nunnery.

Shangguan Ru felt strange and wondered why her sister-in-law brought her here.

Ordinary tourists will not come here.
