The place where you go to make your vows is called Guanyin Temple, and it's inside the Imperial City.

Xiaocao also knew about that place and had been there twice. The second time, the place was cleared. It was not clear which family members were traveling there. Since then, Xiaocao has not been there again.

Guanyin Temple is on Zhouqun Mountain next to Tianshui Lake. Tianshui Lake is very big. Standing here and looking at the other side, everything you see is shadowy. And in the entire Zhouqun Mountain, there are three larger hills and seven or eight smaller hills connected to each other.

, the total area is not large, of course, it is not small either. The mountain is not very high. Xiaocao estimates that the vertical height between the highest point and the ground will not exceed 100 meters. Three larger mountains are located respectively.

In addition to the three main temples, there is also a small temple on the top of the hill. On the top of the hill, there are more than 30 Zen monasteries. Speaking of which, according to the prosperity of Guanyin Temple, there are more than 30 Zen monasteries.

, I really feel that there are a few, but because Guanyin Temple is located in the imperial city, except for people who worship Buddha, usually no one lives there, so there are actually only a lot more Zen monasteries.

Zhou Qun Mountain is located on the west side of the imperial palace, very close to it, separated by a moat, a street, and three rows of residential compounds, stretching to the foot of Zhou Qun Mountain.

The location of Zhouqun Mountain is very advantageous. Standing on Zhouqun Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace. On the other side is the lake. It must be said that it is actually an excellent viewing spot. People come and go in an endless stream every day.

.

It is said that Emperor Xuanren liked to take a walk in Zhou Qun Mountain occasionally, and the Queen Mother in the palace would go to Guanyin Temple to worship Buddha every year, staying for at least half a month and as long as three months. Compared with previous dynasties, the Queen Mother worshiped Buddha.

If you need to travel hundreds of miles or something, it really shouldn’t be too convenient.

In Guanyin Temple, all the halls and halls enshrine the Dharma of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In addition to large and small statues, there are also many portraits, which vividly display the many Dharma appearances of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In order to show piety, when they were at the foot of the mountain, Han took Xiaocao and the others out of the carriage and walked up step by step. Although it was not high and the temple could not be built on the top of the mountain, for the inner house,

Madams and girls, it is still a big challenge. Of course, for Xiaocao, this is just a little bit, it is completely childish and not challenging. Let her run back and forth a few times without getting out of breath.

To be serious, the following years were nothing compared to when my adoptive father traveled all over the world. Not every place had a dedicated herb collector. However, when ordinary people collected herbs, my adoptive father disliked them for not being able to do it well, so he often did it himself.

, when Xiaocao was still in his infancy, he took him over mountains and ridges, and there were definitely places like cliffs and cliffs. He only needed a rope and some simple tools to climb up and down. At first,

, Xiaocao's heart was trembling, and she wanted to yell - Dad, do you know you are still carrying a baby? Later, Xiaocao became completely calm.

My adoptive father has an old body. I sincerely don't want to be too powerful. He can beat ten of those white-faced scholars and weak-handed young masters nowadays. Don't be too relaxed. He also has a really good body and bones. He is very old.

, being alone outside, Xiaocao didn't worry too much, but that was many years ago, and Xiaocao hoped that he would settle down, but, as he didn't know his whereabouts, all his thoughts were in vain.

Han's goal today is to bow down and burn incense in every "Guanyin Hall", and everything in the process depends on his feet.

Wen Renying looked up at the nearby temple, and then at the looming temples on the two hills in the distance. How could she walk all of them with both feet? She was really desperate. She didn't dare to say "go home."

My mother-in-law is determined to whip her.

Wen Renying shed a thousand tears in her heart!

Xiaocao looked funny, but didn't say anything.

Wen's power has not yet cleared the place, but the servants, maids, and servants are not in the minority, and they still block it within a certain range to avoid collisions. Ordinary people are also used to this kind of thing, and they usually see it from a distance.

They will take the initiative to avoid it. If something happens, they cannot bear the responsibility.

Fortunately, the slope of the stone staircase is relatively gentle, so it is not too tiring at first.

The incense burning started in the main hall. Xiaocao looked at the three-meter-high statue of the kind-faced Guanyin Buddha, and followed her mother to burn incense and kneel down devoutly. Belief or not is one thing, belief is another. Xiaocao is more in fact

It's because of Han's maternal love.

I bowed down to one palace after another, and donated the sesame oil money accordingly. I was really tired, so I rested for a while. Not to mention Wen Renying, even the Han family was also flushed, and even had a slight makeup, but

As long as he takes a rest and calms down, Han will be full of energy again, feeling like a warrior who never retreats. This goes on and on.

Xiaocao saw this, and her heart was complicated. She wanted to persuade her, but she couldn't say it. She could only follow silently. When Han was tired from walking, he stretched out his hand to support her and fanned her from time to time.

According to their speed, it would probably be late afternoon by the time they finish praying.

"Don't say it's late afternoon. Even if it's too late and you can't go back, just stay in the temple for one night and go back tomorrow."

It can be seen that Han's attitude is resolute.

"Mom, the one enshrined on this mountain is Avalokitesvara, do you want to go up too?" Wen Renying gasped and said weakly.

Not only are you tired now, but the soles of your feet, calves, and even your back are hurting, okay?

"Go up, why don't you go up? I gave birth to five of you, shouldn't I pay homage to Guanyin?" Han said confidently.

Wen Renying was speechless. She really had no reason to talk to her mother. Wen Renying had gone there once or twice, but usually to accompany her eldest sister. She was still a girl, so naturally she wouldn't go there to offer incense.

.

"How about the seventh sister doesn't go up, and I go up with my mother?" Xiaocao saw that Renying was really tired. In fact, the Han family was not much better, but she insisted, there was really nothing she could do.

Wen Renying nodded hurriedly, but said, "Fourth sister, your physical strength is so good. It has been so long, and you are not blushing or out of breath. Last time you went out for a walk, weren't you the same as fourth brother? Why?

It’s like a different person now.”

"The nature is different. Just like at that time, you were full of energy and full of 'fighting power'." Xiaocao said with a smile.

Wen Renying curled her lips, "Fourth sister, you are really a weirdo."

"What are you talking about? Shut up quickly. - Xuan'er, let's go, just leave her alone."

"With the fourth sister, I am the one who is disliked." Wen Renying muttered, "Let's go, let's go."

"Don't run around, you know?" Han warned.

"I know, well, I'll be waiting for you in the pavilion over there." Wen Renying pointed not far away.

It was a small "viewing pavilion" on a protruding rock "halfway up the mountain".

"Okay." Mrs. Han waved her hand and left half of the people she brought out for her.

While waiting, Wen Renying didn't see anyone she knew. She got bored, so she took the maid to enjoy the scenery together. She could comment on every tree, flower, and stone.

But at a certain moment, Wen Renying paused and looked at the mighty procession coming down the main road. The extremely luxurious carriages were followed by maids and attendants, all wearing uniform soft armor. At first glance, they were not easy to mess with.

Guards, and there are hundreds of them. These people are not just soldiers, they look well-trained. And who can these people usually only be seen next to? The emperor, the prince, the county king, of course, this number

The scale is definitely not on the same level at all.

However, in the imperial city, in addition to these people, there was another person who was also accompanied by such a guard, the emperor's sister, Princess Fukang, who was named the eldest princess after the emperor ascended the throne.

Naturally, Wen Renying had no chance to see the last battle for the right to inherit the rightful son. When she was born, the dust had already settled, but later I accidentally heard that it was said to be quite dangerous, especially at the last moment.

Now it is almost impossible to govern. There are blatant assassinations among the princes. The emperor has encountered this once, and it was in his own palace. That time, Princess Fukang, who had only given birth a few months ago, blocked the emperor.

Unfortunately, she was stabbed in the abdomen and lost her fertility. Fortunately, she gave birth to her eldest son. However, this child was physically defective and imperfect.

But the prince-in-law needs normal and healthy heirs. What will happen next is simply self-evident.

Even Emperor Xuanren couldn't suppress the consort, so he could only try his best to make up for the eldest princess Fukang, giving her supreme respect, and the imperfect child also gave her the greatest tolerance, and even gave her a dukedom.

You must know that I only have a sinecure position as Prince Consort, and his rank is only equivalent to that of an earl.

No matter why I don't like this son, there is nothing I can do about him.

Even though this young master was discriminated against and disliked because of his incompetence, he was favored by his uncle, the emperor, and his own mother felt sorry for him. He was alone and controlled everything, so that other people's discriminatory eyes made him become a

He is ill-tempered, irritable, gloomy, and unpredictable. He is really the number one overlord in the entire imperial city. When the princes see him, they have to avoid him, fearing that he will suddenly go crazy and suffer a loss, and he will not be able to get in front of their father.

Justice.

Simply speaking, this young master also knows the rules. The most he can do is beat people up and tease them. The most the Emperor Xuanren can do is scold them and give them some small punishments. For those who can win the infinite tolerance of Emperor Xuanren,

This young man is definitely one of them.

Princess Fukang keeps a low profile and usually stays at the princess mansion. Except for palace banquets, she basically does not attend other banquets, including the prince's royal wedding. Whether she will attend depends on her mood.

The young prince-in-law has his own ducal palace, which is right next to his mother-in-law's princess's palace. He simply got through to him and spends most of his time in the princess's palace. As for the prince-in-law? Haha, he stays in his own house all year round. He just wants to see her.

The eldest princess, the eldest princess doesn't want to talk to him. He can do whatever he wants. If he thinks of her taking advantage, I'm sorry, it's impossible.

The eldest princess also didn't want to find another one, otherwise she would have divorced her long ago.

The ceremonial guards for princes and kings are usually just ordinary guards when traveling, and there are only a few such elites.

Therefore, except for the young prince, almost no one thought about it when he was walking around in such a ostentatious manner.

To be honest, Wen Renying has never met this young master.

The two larger hills in Zhou Qun Mountain are closer to the front, and one is further back. More than half of the small hills are also located at the back. At this moment, this group of people looks to be heading straight for the third, higher hill.

Going up a big hill, the area in front was quickly cleared or even blocked. Let alone ordinary people, even those with a certain status would avoid them as quickly as possible. Even those who came down from the front would quickly change lanes, and

If we didn't encounter any fork in the road, we turned back and prepared to go down the other side of the mountain.

This shows how powerful this "deterrence" is.

Wen Renying didn't block their way, so of course there was no need to move. She was now lost in memories.

This young master's arrogance and domineering are not comparable to Ming Zeyue's level. However, all his confidence comes from Emperor Xuanren. As soon as Emperor Xuanren died, he fell to the bottom instantly. Prince Dun actually had a lot of influence on him.

It stands to reason that after King Dun ascended the throne, this young prince should be one of the first batch of people to cook. However, it seems that he has not heard any news about this person in his previous life, just like Xuanren

When the emperor died, he also disappeared.

Or maybe Princess Fukang, Princess De, arranged an escape route for him immediately. After all, it was really chaotic at that time, and other people couldn't care about her son. It was very possible to take advantage of the chaos to send him away.

.

I just don't know why he came to Guanyin Temple. There is nothing for him to entertain here, so naturally he is not allowed to be arrogant.

Princess Fukang seems to be a believer in Buddhism. Although the young master may be arrogant in front of others, he is filial in front of his mother and the emperor's uncle. So, maybe he came here for Princess Fukang.

However, when Wen Renying was staring at the carriage and was distracted, the people in the carriage were also looking at him.

The carriage looked well-covered, but in fact it was not. The windows were covered with a layer of gauze, making it impossible to see from far away, but only from near.

The rumored young master was lazily leaning on the couch on the side, holding his head in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other. His clothes were loose and his chest was exposed. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Despite his age, he looks like a total libertine, but judging from the exposed arms, he seems to be very powerful.

He wore a mask on his face, with a black background and golden lines, leaving only a pair of eyes, chin and mouth. I don't know what material was used for the position of the mouth. It fit perfectly and did not affect his eating and drinking.

He stretched out his foot and kicked the wooden wheelchair occupying the main seat, "Wei Tingyu, what are you looking at?" He stood up halfway and looked outside, "Hey, you short-lived ghost who can't even stand up, what do you think?

Where is the little lady? Don’t be a widow just because someone came to the house." When he opened his mouth, there seemed to be something wrong with the voice.

Yes, it was Wei Tingyu who was looking at Wen Renying. After knowing that Xiaocao was a girl from Wen Renying, he got to know everyone in Wen Renying carefully, including the servants. This sister-in-law,
