That night, Yu Jinshu slept in the side room of the Buddhist temple.
The wing room was clean, and the food delivered for lunch and dinner did not seem to be treated unfairly. However, for her, not being able to leave the Buddhist hall was like being imprisoned.
I don’t know if the emperor came to see her. I think even if he did, the empress dowager would definitely not let the emperor see her!
Yu Jinshu had a quiet night that night. Since she had completed the task of copying scriptures early, she could go to bed early.
At the same time, all the palaces were ready to go and dressed up, looking forward to the emperor coming to their palace tonight.
Once the emperor has tasted the sweetness of a woman, he might not be able to suppress his desires and go to a woman to satisfy them.
Tonight, it is rare that Concubine An is trapped in the Buddhist temple by the Emperor. Which palace will the Emperor go to?
Xu Xueluo had no hope. The empress dowager tried to persuade the emperor, but the emperor refused to go to her palace. However, she was still making preparations, thinking that if the emperor came to his senses and remembered his childhood, he would want to favor her!
Wei Ruyan even felt that the emperor would come to her Kunning Palace.
She is the queen, the emperor's legal wife, and the emperor should come to her.
Qiu Cui is dead, and now the palace maid closest to Wei Ruyan is called Si Ning.
Si Ning was inserting a gold and jade butterfly-loving flower hairpin into Wei Ruyan's bun. "Your Majesty, when the Emperor arrives, please remember to mention the ceremony of the Empress' coronation."
On the day when Wei Ruyan entered the palace and was crowned as the queen, the empress dowager had instructed the Ministry of Rites to calculate an auspicious day. It has been several days now, and for some unknown reason, they still haven't found one.
"Let's see if the Emperor will come first."
Wei Ruyan was still very unsure, after all, the emperor didn't even want to look at her.
In the end, all the palaces were disappointed. They waited until midnight, but the emperor still didn't come, nor did he summon anyone to sleep with him in the Qianqing Palace.
Chu Zan tossed and turned in his sleep in the Qianqing Palace. These days he was used to Yu Jinshu's company and used to holding her in his arms as he fell asleep. But now his arms were empty and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
He was still very worried, afraid that his Jinshu would be scared in the Buddhist temple in the Cining Palace.
Finally, it was dawn. Chu Zan got up, washed up, and went to the Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother was awake at this moment, but she was in her bedroom.
After Chu Zan arrived at the Cining Palace, he signaled the palace servants not to alarm the Empress Dowager, and he went directly to the Buddhist temple.
Yu Jinshu went to bed early last night and woke up early this morning.
She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the palace maid had not arrived yet and Xiao Chao was still sleeping because he had stayed up late last night, so she quickly logged into the system to print the Buddhist scriptures.
In fact, she could have finished printing it very quickly, but in order to avoid suspicion from the palace maids, she only printed one third of it.
But this is already a lot, it looks like a thick pile.
The door of the Buddhist hall opened, and Yu Jinshu hurriedly came out of the system, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and pretended to write.
Yu Jinshu didn't even look back to see who was coming, she just thought it was a palace maid.
Unexpectedly, she felt a tightening around her waist and a familiar breath came into her nose.
It’s Chu Zan!
Chu Zan hugged Yu Jinshu from behind.
Yu Jinshu turned his head and looked at Chu Zan, "Your Majesty, why are you here so early?"
Chu Zan kissed her neck and then said, "I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep all night, and I was worried that you would be wronged here. Oh, by the way, I told you to call me Ah Zan in private."
Yu Jinshu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "A Zan, this is a Buddhist temple, you can't be affectionate."
Although she had committed fraud in the Buddhist temple, it was because the punishment given by the Queen Mother was unreasonable.
This scripture was no ordinary one. It was extremely thick, and the Queen Mother required that the entire book be copied in one day. If one copied it normally, one would not be able to finish it even if one worked day and night.
The Queen Mother wanted to punish her, but she couldn't let herself be punished.
The emperor was still very respectful of gods and Buddhas, and immediately let go of Yu Jinshu's waist. He walked to the table and looked at the thick stack of scriptures, which still smelled of fresh ink.
"So many, did you copy them this morning?"
Yu Jinshu nodded: "Yes, I went to bed early last night, so I got up early to copy today."
The emperor frowned, "This is too much." He flipped through the "copied" scriptures, "You copied so much, you must have gotten up before dawn."
He could see that the Queen Mother did not really want Jinshu to pray for her, but clearly wanted to make trouble for Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu was very calm: "It's okay, as long as I can pray for the Queen Mother, a little hardship is nothing."
Chu Zan looked at Yu Jinshu with heartache, a faint smile on her beautiful face. Her calm expression made her look like a fairy far away from the disputes and noise in the palace.
"I'll take you away."
Chu Zan grabbed Yu Jinshu's hand that was holding the pen.
He felt heartbroken that such a soft pair of hands could write so many words.
Yu Jinshu said, "No, if the Emperor takes me away like this, the Empress Dowager will surely be angry. Not only will the Emperor be branded as unfilial, but I will also be criticized for being spoiled and unwilling to even help the Empress Dowager copy scriptures and pray for blessings."
Chu Zan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You make sense."
Yu Jinshu put down her pen and turned sideways to face Chu Zan. "Your Majesty, don't worry about me. I can handle it."
Chu Zan nodded: "Okay."
At this time, the door of the Buddhist hall rang.
It was a palace maid who arrived. Seeing the emperor, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager specifically instructed me not to enter the Buddhist temple to disturb Concubine An from copying the scriptures, so as to prevent Concubine An from being disturbed by her love affairs and distracted."
Chu Zan said with a dark face, "You are not allowed to tell the Queen Mother about my visit to the Buddhist temple."
