On the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month, many tourists come to Huangjue Temple to pray and burn incense.
Because the retired emperor and the grand empress dowager lived in the back mountain of Huangjue Temple, the abbot of Huangjue Temple was afraid of offending the two nobles, so he only opened the temple gate from 1:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month to receive pilgrims.
The nobles and dignitaries in Beijing who want to go to Huangjue Temple to pray for blessings need to make an appointment three days in advance.
After Empress Dowager Du finished her breakfast, she wanted to take a nap, but then she remembered that Xiao Lingyu had come to see her last time and asked her to move her body more and get more sun, so she went to the window.
The gentle breeze, the warm sunshine, and the lush green mountains in the distance made Empress Dowager Du feel happy. "Ms. Yun, the weather is nice today. Come with me for a walk."
"My Lady, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and there are many pilgrims visiting Huangjue Temple. I'm afraid I'll disturb you."
"It's okay. We don't have to go to the main hall in the front courtyard. We can just walk to the bamboo forest and vegetable garden and then back. It'll be considered as some exercise."
Yun Gu glanced at Fu Xuan, and Fu Xuan hurried out to arrange personnel and sent someone to deliver a message to the emperor.
The Grand Emperor was currently devoutly copying Buddhist scriptures and chanting Buddhist scriptures in his meditation room, and was still very determined to return to the palace.
He just didn't believe that if he wanted to go back to the palace and asked Ayi to pick him up, would he dare not come?
He came out of the meditation room an hour later, and Li Haiying hurriedly brought him breakfast.
Feng Yanzhi sat down and ate quickly yet elegantly.
Li Haiying felt very distressed when he saw this. The emperor went to the meditation room to copy scriptures as soon as he got up in the morning, and breakfast was the last thing he had to eat. He was truly pious.
Isn't it time for Empress Fu'an to calm down?
Feng Yanzhi put down his chopsticks after eating and drinking his fill. "Aying, how is Mother doing today? Is she awake or asleep?"
"Half an hour ago, Fu Xuan said that the Empress Dowager wanted to stretch her body and get some sun, so she went to the bamboo forest and vegetable fields."
"What? Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. There are so many pilgrims coming to pray. Why don't you stop them?"
Li Haiying said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is determined to do what we can not stop nor dare to stop you. Your Majesty, don't worry, not only has Fu Xuan arranged people to follow, but I have also arranged people to follow, to ensure that the pilgrims will not bump into the Grand Empress Dowager."
Feng Yanzhi knew his mother's temperament, and he had to take action personally to persuade her to go back.
At this time, Empress Dowager Du was resting in the open space between the bamboo forest and the vegetable field, sitting on the soft chair brought by Yun Gu and others.
His eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen into a light sleep, but in fact, the corners of his lips were slightly raised as he listened to the piano music coming from somewhere.
It can be said to be the sound of nature, comparable to the sound of the zither.
Not only was Empress Dowager Du intoxicated by it, but Yun Gu, Fu Xuan and other guards were also attracted by this song.
"Brother, wait for me." A childish voice suddenly sounded.
Empress Dowager Du frowned slightly and opened her eyes.
I saw a half-grown boy chasing a dragonfly, followed by a delicate little girl.
"Ouch." The little girl tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, "Wuwuwu..."
The little girl seemed to be hurt and started crying loudly.
The little boy was frightened and ran back to the little girl.
"Sister, where does it hurt..."
Fu Xuan was afraid that the two children would anger the Empress Dowager, so he took people to drive them away.
"Come back." Although Empress Dowager Du was momentarily unhappy that her interest in listening to the piano music was disturbed, her unhappiness soon dissipated. Looking at the brother and sister, she thought of her grandson. "Go and check the little girl's wound. She is so cute. Don't disfigure her. Also, send the two children to their families. Don't scare them."
"yes."
Fu Xuan quickly walked towards the brother and sister with a kind smile on his face.
As soon as Fu Xuan walked up to the brother and sister, a young woman came over in panic.
"Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?"
"Mommy, it hurts... here..." The little girl pointed at her left ankle with tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth. The area was red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had sprained her ankle.
The young woman reached out and touched the little girl, and she screamed in pain.
Fu Xuan couldn't help but gasp, he was in pain.
At this time, a guard gasped and handed Fu Xuan a secret medicinal wine for bruises and injuries.
"Madam, this is a medicinal wine specially made for treating injuries from falls. If you trust me, I'll apply it to the child. It will quickly reduce the swelling and relieve the pain. Go home and take good care of yourself, and you'll be fine in three days."
The young woman saw Fu Xuan's kind face and knew he was a good man. Her precious daughter was almost fainting from the pain. "...Then I'll trouble you."
Fu Xuan squatted down and applied medicinal wine to the child.
Fu Xuan's technique was very skillful and his movements were very gentle, but he still made the little girl scream.
Empress Dowager Du frowned as she listened. Even the sounds of nature were no longer pleasant to the ears. Couldn't Fu Xuan be gentler?
Soon, the little girl's crying subsided.
"Okay, the swelling and pain have gone down."
Seeing that the child's ankle was bruised but not swollen, the young woman knelt down in front of Fu Xuan and said, "Thank you for your generosity."
Fu Xuan helped her up and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank my old lady."
The young woman walked past Fu Xuan and towards Empress Dowager Du.
The heavenly music quickened its tempo at this moment, and the young woman's steps unconsciously quickened along with the music.
When Empress Dowager Du saw her face clearly, she was horrified.
She...she...
The young woman stopped three steps away from Empress Dowager Du.
Empress Dowager Du was frightened and leaned back subconsciously.
"Thank you, old lady, for saving my daughter. Please accept my greeting."
The young woman then bowed solemnly to Empress Dowager Du.
Empress Dowager Du looked at the woman kneeling in front of her and felt a little relieved. It was broad daylight, how could an evil ghost dare to commit crimes in broad daylight?
