Noble First Daughter-in-law

The next morning.

It was just past Mao hour, and the lights were already bright inside and outside the palace. The people in the palace were busy up and down, and people were walking back and forth. This silent excitement also made the entire Chang'an City wake up prematurely.

Shang Ruyi also got up early, dressed neatly, and arrived at the palace gate at Chenshi to see the emperor off.

Although this trip was relatively hasty, the preparations were still very thorough, and the etiquette and honors were all in place. After Yu Wenyuan accepted the kneeling of the officials, he boarded the golden carriage, but before the carriage moved, he still raised the curtain and faced the station. King Qin and Princess Qin who were at the palace gate waved, and they immediately stepped forward.

Yu Wenyuan looked at Shang Ruyi and said: "When you go to Dayan Temple, don't stay too long. Worshiping the Buddha is your heart and doesn't care about the form."

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and his eyes flickered slightly.

She understood that even if Yu Wenyuan was very happy for some reason and agreed to her going to Dayan Temple to worship Buddha, which meant that he allowed her to meet Empress Dowager Jiang, suspicion still prevailed in the emperor's heart, especially between Empress Dowager Jiang and Fei Fei. With a power like the emperor, Shang Ruyi would not dare to disobey him, so he still had to give an explanation when the end came.

She immediately said solemnly: "My son, I understand."

Yu Wenyuan nodded, turned to look at Yu Wenye, and said, "Come over immediately after you come back with Ruyi."

As he spoke, another smile appeared on his face and he said, "I still think that you only have a wife in your heart, and you don't have this father anymore."

While they were talking, the prince who accompanied the emperor on the tour was about to board the carriage next to him. He seemed to have heard these words. His movement of boarding the carriage was slightly delayed, but he did not stay for too long. He immediately got on the carriage and The curtain was lowered.

Yu Wenye raised his head and looked at Yu Wenyuan. Before he could answer, Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "My father's words are serious, how dare he, King Qin? It was his son who wanted him to accompany him, and King Qin made this decision after thinking about it again and again. Please forgive me, my father, for your willfulness."

Yu Wenyuan laughed and said, "How could I blame you?"

As he said that, he glanced at Yu Wenye next to him and said, "I am also happy to see you and your husband have a deep love for each other, but in the face of important events, you can't be too affectionate."

Both of them said in unison: "I understand."

Yu Wenyuan then waved his hands to them, and the two took a step back. Eunuch Yu immediately gave the order to set off, and the entire team left the palace in a mighty manner.

However, among the cars leaving, there was a carriage belonging to Duke Wu Shan whose curtain was slightly lifted, revealing a pair of shrewd and gorgeous eyes looking at Shang Ruyi's figure, with a cold look in his eyes.

Seeing the flags and ceremonial guards gradually disappearing at the end of the long street, and the people kneeling on both sides of Suzaku Avenue shouting long live the voice that was gradually swallowed up by the clouds and wind, Yu Wenye slowly stood up and helped him Shang Ruyi, whose arms were slightly fleshy, said: "Let's go too."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

So he waved his hand, and the carriage on the other side also came over. King Qin and Princess Qin boarded the carriage one after another, left the palace gate, and headed in the direction of Dayan Temple.

Because of Shang Ruyi's health, the carriage moved very slowly. The journey of half an hour took more than an hour today. By the time their carriage stopped outside Dayan Temple, Master Xinzheng, the presiding master, had already led everyone in the temple to were waiting at the gate. At this time, the sun has risen high in the sky, and the scorching sun seems to be radiating enthusiasm and light after being suffocated for several days. These monks wearing thick robes are all sweating profusely, and they are sweating profusely from the sun. But he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe the sweat.

As soon as they saw the carriage of King Qin and the princess, everyone's faces seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the Buddha Mother of Light. Master Xin Zheng is a little older than at the last Dharma conference, and his back can hardly be straightened. The only thing that is not old is still his pair of eyes that are always crooked and full of smiles, and full of scheming and calculation. . I saw him eagerly coming forward to greet me: "Greetings to His Highness King Qin, and paying homage to Princess Qin."

After Yu Wenye got off the carriage, he didn't pay attention to him immediately. Instead, he turned around and held Shang Ruyi's hand, and took her out of the carriage. After standing still, he looked up again and looked at the crowd following Master Xin Zheng, who were all bowing to them. There are monks and prayer flags hanging on both sides of the mountain gate, making a sound in the wind. He frowned and said, "Didn't I say that you don't need to make too much trouble? Why is it still so grand?"

Xin Zheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Princess have bodies worth thousands of gold, how can a poor monk dare to neglect them?"

Yu Wenye shook his head.

Fortunately, because the emperor was on patrol today, most of the people in the city crowded to the side of Zhuque Avenue. There were not many people watching here. Yu Wenye really didn't want to cause any accidents because of the large number of people. So he said: "Okay, let's go."

Shang Ruyi smiled at Master Xinzheng and said, "Sorry for disturbing you."

Xin Zheng said hurriedly: "Princess, your words are serious. Please."

With that said, the group entered the mountain gate.

This place is still the same as when we held the Fa Conference more than a year ago, except that there are not the huge crowds of monks and laypeople before, and it is much quieter. After entering the temple, Shang Ruyi saw the Main Hall in front of him at first sight.

That's where she met Queen Mother Jiang before.

As if aware of her gaze, Xin Zheng led them inside and said with a smile: "There is no one in the hall today."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him and smiled.

Of course she understood that Empress Dowager Jiang secluded herself in Yanchun Palace to escape from the world. Even if she got the news that she would meet with her today, she would not be able to come to the Grand Palace openly. She would definitely arrange a more suitable place. So he withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

Just as all the monks in the temple were waiting in front of the mountain gate and following King Qin and Princess Qin all the way in, a young monk who had gotten up late hurried out of his meditation room and was about to go to the front to greet the distinguished guests. When passing by the Sutra Pavilion, I saw a brown figure flashing past behind the Sutra Pavilion.

It seemed that a few monks wearing Haiqing passed by carrying firewood.

He couldn't help but scratch his head and murmured to himself: "It's strange. Didn't Master remind you repeatedly today not to go near the Sutra Pavilion? Why do people still go there?"

Just when he was puzzled, a young monk came over in a hurry. Seeing him blinking his big eyes, looking like a two-foot-tall monk who was confused, he couldn't help but reached out and tapped the little bald head and said, "See the truth, If you are still dawdling here, a distinguished guest will come over later, so be careful of the master spanking you."

When he saw the young monk, he didn't dare to neglect him and hurriedly ran out after him.

Just after he left, those figures walked out from behind the Sutra Pavilion, but the bundles of firewood they had just carried on their shoulders had disappeared. I saw that they moved quickly and quickly disappeared into the dense trees behind the temple.
