Chapter 75 Burning Incense



Ever since Lin Qingtang and Lin Qingtang found out that Ye Jinyun was pregnant, they would rush to Qingyue Palace through the small door opened on the wall of Yingquan Palace every day when they woke up, so as to prevent her from looking for them.

Even meals and entertainment were arranged in Qingyue Palace, and the beds were almost made up and moved there.

Ye Jinyun felt helpless as she looked at the two people who treated her like a national treasure every day.

Not only was she not allowed to walk, she was also not allowed to bend over or stretch. Even her meals had to follow what was written in the book. Ye Jinyun had a weak appetite to begin with and ate little, so now she couldn't eat anything at all.

That day, the three of them were having lunch together again. Lin Qingtang put a dish that was not suitable for her far away and did not let her eat it.

Ye Jinyun suddenly felt wronged and couldn't help crying with a sore nose.

This made Lin Qingtang and Yu Wan'er panic, and they hurried to comfort her. After she calmed down, they asked her why she was crying suddenly. She said that she wanted to eat that dish, which made them laugh and cry.

However, Ye Jinyun also took this opportunity to explain to the two that her physique was rather special and she didn't need to be too restrictive about her diet. She also didn't need to worry too much about her movements, as she would be fine.

Seeing this, the two of them had to relax a little about her behavior and stopped making such a big deal about it.

Ten days passed in a flash.

The day to accompany the Empress Dowager to the Big Buddha Temple to burn incense soon arrived. The Emperor had sent someone to tell her last night that she should follow behind his carriage and not stay too far away from him.

That day, Ye Jinyun and the other two got up early in the morning, washed up, and had breakfast together in Qingyue Palace. Then they took the sedan chair that the emperor had arranged for them in advance and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone except the Emperor and the Empress Dowager has arrived.

As soon as Ye Jinyun got out of the sedan chair, a palace maid came forward and took her to the carriage behind the emperor.

When the Emperor and the Queen Mother arrived, everyone bowed and got into their carriages.

Ye Jinyun also held Qing'er's arm, carefully got into the carriage, and sat in.

Well, the emperor’s arrangements are different.

It was much more spacious and comfortable than the carriage she took last time when she went autumn hunting. Even the seats were padded with thick, soft material.

Ye Jinyun leaned on the soft cushion and yawned lazily. Well, he really felt sleepy as soon as he touched the ground.

Because they were going to the temple this time and might have to climb and descend a lot of stairs, Ye Jinyun had a special conversation with the system a few days ago to ask whether she could do these exercises during pregnancy.

But the system gave her accurate answers, saying that not only these exercises, but she could also run a few kilometers back and forth without any problem. As long as the system was there, there would be no problem with the fetus.

Ye Jinyun instantly felt more at ease and felt that it would be no problem even if he went bungee jumping with his child.

The Big Buddha Temple is a national temple located on Yunwu Mountain not far from the capital.

The royal carriage drove slowly and arrived at the foot of Yunwu Mountain in just over half an hour.

The Big Buddha Temple is built on the hillside of Yunwu Mountain. A stone staircase consisting of 300 steps of bluestone steps leads directly from the foot of the mountain to the temple gate.

Ye Jinyun looked at the long and steep stone stairs in front of her and took a breath secretly. Fortunately, she had the system, otherwise, an ordinary pregnant woman would have lost half her life climbing so many steps.

But then I thought, no pregnant woman would go out of her way to climb so many stairs, and even she had no choice.

Fortunately, the Buddhist temple has also taken the pilgrims' physical strength into consideration. There is a rest area every fifty steps for pilgrims to rest and recover their strength.

After staying at the foot of the mountain for a while, Mo Qiyuan asked the imperial guards to lead the way, then he personally supported the empress dowager and climbed the stairs first. The others followed behind and slowly climbed up.

Lin Qingtang had already run to Ye Jinyun and asked her if there was any problem climbing so many steps.

Ye Jinyun whispered back to her, telling her not to worry.

But Lin Qingtang was still worried, so he asked Bai Lu to take good care of Yu Wan'er, and he held Ye Jinyun's hand and began to climb the stone stairs.

After climbing for a while, many concubines could no longer climb and sat down in the rest area, catching their breath and taking a rest.

Lin Qingtang crawled calmly. She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so her physical fitness was far superior to those delicate concubines.

But she was deeply impressed by the fact that Ye Jinyun, a pregnant woman, could climb for such a long time without breathing.

After climbing for a while, the empress dowager in front was a little exhausted, so she asked the emperor to stop and rest for a while.

Mo Qiyuan sat with the Queen Mother in the rest area and glanced down.

Seeing that except for Ye Jinyun and Lin Qingtang, all the other concubines fell behind, he couldn't help but look at her lovely girl with admiration.

He knew that Lin Qingtang had practiced martial arts for many years like him and had good physical fitness, so climbing these stairs was no problem for him. However, he did not expect that his beloved also had this physical strength, which really surprised him.

Seeing that the emperor and the empress dowager were already sitting down to rest, Ye Jinyun also felt a little tired, so she asked Lin Qingtang to stop and sit down to rest in the rest area fifty steps behind the emperor.

After resting for a while, they saw the emperor and the empress dowager set off again, so they stood up and followed them to climb up.

By the time she and Lin Qingtang had followed the emperor and the empress dowager to the gate of the Big Buddha Temple, the concubines, including Yu Wan'er, were still struggling on the steps.

So the empress dowager asked the two of them to follow her and the emperor to burn incense first, and then go on their own after the other concubines came up.

Ye Jinyun and Lin Qingtang followed them into the main hall of the Big Buddha Temple. After the emperor and the empress dowager had finished burning incense and worshipping Buddha, they each held a stick of incense in their hands and worshiped respectfully.
