Sherry sighed softly, then went back to the palace to sleep.
The next morning, the concubines came to pay their respects.
Everyone spoke freely, discussing the programs they had prepared.
Sherry covered her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
I feel dizzy and lightheaded, like I can never wake up.
I went to the front hall and watched the concubines chattering away.
"Well, from now on, we'll greet you every fifth day. You all prepare well!" Shirley interjected after listening to their discussion for a while.
The women, perhaps noticing that Shirley seemed a little unwell, all took their leave.
Sherry gently stroked the flowers and trees, feeling somewhat drowsy.
At times like this, Sherry becomes even more attentive.
Lying on the couch with eyes closed in a feigned sleep is actually a technique for cultivating one's spirit and soul.
Whether it's due to undergoing tribulation, we'll find out by trying.
Sydney is prepared for a long battle.
But what was even more unexpected was the arrival of a master.
Emperor Shunzhi publicly declared that he was praying for the Empress Dowager's well-being!
Sherry thought he was quite clever. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she heard the news.
He was all smiles and pleasantries for several days.
Therefore, Shirley and Shunzhi went to Cining Palace one after the other to dine with her.
Sherry quietly adorned herself with wall flowers, while Emperor Shunzhi sat upright to one side, watching the Empress Dowager and the master discuss Buddhist teachings.
Sherry was getting sleepy, and her eyes would close slightly from time to time. Shunzhi, who was sitting next to her, looked at her with a meaningful gaze.
"Your Majesty, are you tired?!"
Shunzhi asked in a soft voice.
The Empress Dowager probably didn't hear her and continued her discussion with the master.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Would you like to accompany me?"
Sherry turned her head slightly stiffly. She had recently been studying cultivation techniques to find out why she felt sleepy.
They've all forgotten about seducing Shunzhi.
"It's my fault, my fault for being so useless, I completely forgot to hook up with my little brother~ Feeling lonely? Feeling empty? Feeling unbearably lonely?!"
Sherry's inner monologue was running wild, and her expression suddenly turned lewd.
Looking into Shunzhi's eyes, all he could see was "Dad understands you."
Just a moment ago, Shunzhi was overjoyed to hear the Empress's heartfelt words.
My expression almost cracked the next second!
Emperor Shunzhi's pupils dilated, and his gaze became dull.
His face clearly said: What nonsense are you spouting?!
When Sherry saw his expression, she laughed even harder.
"Your Majesty, aren't you pleasantly surprised?! I understand you~"
After saying that, Sherry covered her face with her handkerchief and laughed silently.
Emperor Shunzhi's temples throbbed with anger, and he was about to say something.
They were facing the Empress Dowager and the Grandmaster directly.
“Empress Mother!” Shunzhi glanced at Xue Li and said with a slight smile.
The Empress Dowager smiled warmly; she was in an exceptionally good mood today.
After all, she genuinely believed that her son was filial to her.
The master looked at Sherry with utmost respect.
Thus, Shunzhi became increasingly curious and increasingly anxious.
"My son, I think we should keep the master here for a few more days, and also trouble the master to pray for the well-being of our Great Qing!" The Empress Dowager said, looking at the master with admiration in her eyes.
The other party's few words enlightened me.
The Empress Dowager was very pleased.
Emperor Shunzhi, having heard of his great reputation, summoned him to the palace on several occasions to discuss Buddhism together.
His Buddhist practice and wisdom earned him the respect and trust of Emperor Shunzhi.
This famous monk's name was Yulin Xiu.
Influenced by her father from a young age, Yu Linxiu resolved to abandon literature and enter a Buddhist monastery.
He ran away from home at the age of eighteen, and thereafter associated with monks, eventually becoming a true Zen master.
Yulin Xiu possessed exceptional comprehension; she attained enlightenment and mastered the Dharma after only a few months of practice, earning her the deep affection of Abbot Yuanxiu.
