Mugui

The etiquette of the royal Buddha ceremony is relatively complicated, such as bathing, changing clothes, removing hairpin rings, burning incense, offering incense, praying, listening to scriptures...

The royal car arrived at the Huguo Temple at Chenshi, and the series of activities were not completed until almost noon.

After lunch, in the afternoon we recited, listened to, and copied scriptures...

In the evening, Mrs. Bao went to chat with the empress dowager, and Yang Mu looked at the vegetarian dishes with clear soup and little water, and missed the small kitchen on Furong Island very much.

Dai Shan said: "Miss, eat as much as you want. Tomorrow, we have morning class and recite scriptures."

Yang Mu had a bitter face, regretting that he came here to suffer for angering Yang Fei.

Eating bland steamed buns and drinking tofu soup without oil or water, Yang Mu decided that he would not come next year even if he was killed.

Just after dinner, a court lady came to invite someone, saying that the empress dowager summoned him.

Yang Mu had no choice but to get up and go to the other courtyard where the Empress Dowager was temporarily resting.

The Empress Dowager is getting old, and she likes to be lively. When she is in the palace, she likes to have dinner and invite some juniors to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to talk.

When Yang Mu arrived, there were already several noble ladies chatting and laughing with him.

When everyone saw Yang Mulai, they all showed kind smiles.

Now that Yang Mu is famous, he is like a Bodhisattva in the hearts of the common people. If it is not necessary, he should not be offended.

After Yang Mu saluted, the Empress Dowager waved lovingly and said, "Come, come by my side."

The ladies looked at each other in blank dismay, is the Empress Dowager so kind to Princess Shanning?
Except for a few princesses in the palace, the Empress Dowager rarely let people with other surnames sit beside her.This Yang Mu is really lucky. If he didn't want to marry Lin Xiao, that murderous god, would the Empress Dowager know who she was?

Yang Mu sat on the embroidered stool next to the Empress Dowager, and looked around, all the more distinguished ladies in Beijing were present.

These noble ladies all have bright smiles, but the smiles don't reach the eyes, they are all used to acting.

The Empress Dowager turned her head to Yang Mu and said, "I ate the cake you gave me, it's so soft!"

Yang Mudao: "If the Empress Dowager likes it, I will often send some into the palace."

The Empress Dowager hurriedly nodded and said yes.

At this time, a court lady came in and reported that it was the second lady of Duke Huguo's mansion asking to see her.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Yang Mu in surprise, and asked, "You guys came together?"

She remembers that only Yang Mu came with the Yang family.

Yang Mu also said with a confused look: "Second sister is not on the accompanying list."

This Yang Fei is fine, how did she come to Huguo Temple?

You know, the royal family is offering incense today, and no foreign guests are accepted.

The Empress Dowager was a little curious about what the second young lady of the Yang family saw about her, so she ordered someone to come in.

When Yang Fei came in, she was in a panic, her hair was messed up, her clothes were wrinkled, and her shoes were covered in mud.

God knows how she got to the back door after crossing mountains and ridges, and spent 20 taels of silver to the little novice who was watching the door to enter the Huguo Temple.

After Yang Fei entered the door, she bowed her head and saluted according to the rules.

The Empress Dowager asked, "What's the matter with you asking to see Ai's family?"

Yang Fei immediately kowtowed and said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the minister has learned that there are some unruly people hiding in the Huguo Temple, please be more vigilant to the Empress Dowager!"

As soon as these words came out, all the noble ladies gasped.

The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Yang Fei who was kneeling, and asked, "Who is this person who wants to do something wrong? How did you know?"

Yang Fei uttered the words she had already made up, and said: "The minister heard someone talking on the street today, saying that he was going to assassinate in the Huguo Temple, so she rushed to report the news!"

The old mother next to the Empress Dowager said: "Empress Dowager, this kind of thing, I would rather believe it or not. Why don't you call Master Situ and tell him to be vigilant?"

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Call him."

The old mammy responded and hurried out.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yang Fei and said, "Son, get back on your feet first." Regardless of whether what Yang Fei said was true or not, at least it seemed that she was sincerely reporting the letter now.

Just as Yang Feixie En stood up, another court lady came to report that several officials and family members living in the temple were coming to pay their respects.

The empress dowager nodded to let people in.

Every time I pray for blessings, there will be such a situation. The officials and family members of the minor officials cannot see the nobles in the palace on weekdays, so they take advantage of the opportunity of the nobles to go out of the palace, and come to meet and get acquainted.

Soon, the officials and family members were invited in.

There are more than a dozen people in the group, some are women, some are young women, and some are children.

Hulala, those who knelt on the ground paid their respects to the high and mighty empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager has always been kind to these small officials and their families, she stretched out her hand and said, "Let's all be flattened, give me a seat."

After everyone sat down, they began to report their families.

Most of them are family members of officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, some are Beijing officials and some are outside officials. Most of the official names Yang Mu have never heard of.

Someone spotted Yang Mu sitting next to the Empress Dowager, and when they learned that he was the one who helped the victims recently, they all praised him.

Standing aside, Yang Fei felt uncomfortable watching these officials pouring praises on Yang Mu for free.

The squinting look at Yang Mu was also full of resentment.

These ignorant family members of petty officials worship the high and trample the low, flattering the lowly!

The Empress Dowager is indeed a woman who has assisted the emperors of the three dynasties. She can chat with every official and family member. A few words make several family members blush with excitement.

When asked about the wife of a county magistrate, the lady suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "I beg the empress dowager to be the master, my family is wronged for his death!"

The whole room suddenly became quiet, and the harmonious atmosphere just now was gone.

The Empress Dowager was used to such emergencies, and said slowly: "If you have any grievances, just say it."

The woman looked around, as if she had some scruples and dared not speak out in front of so many people.

The Empress Dowager could only wave her hands to make everyone retreat.

Those officials and family members finally saw the nobleman, and they were interrupted by this unexpected situation without saying a few words. They couldn't help feeling dissatisfied, and looked at the kneeling woman with complaining eyes.

But no matter how much she complained, she couldn't disobey the Empress Dowager, so she stood up reluctantly and withdrew one after another.

Naturally, those noble ladies were also dissatisfied, but none of them expressed their dissatisfaction, and they all bowed and withdrew.

Yang Mu recalled what Yang Fei said, and persuaded: "Empress Dowager, Lord Situ hasn't come yet, why don't I stay here to protect you?"

She was reminding the empress dowager about the assassin.

Yang Fei, who was about to withdraw, rolled her eyes when she heard this, knelt down and said: "Yes, the empress dowager, let the courtiers stay too!"

She only remembered the assassination of the empress dowager in her previous life, but she didn't know who the assassin was.

The empress dowager in the previous life was also like this, she sent everyone including her away, leaving only a few court ladies and the woman who wanted to sue.

She returned to her yard without thinking much at the time, and only heard the next day that the Empress Dowager had been assassinated and her meridian was injured, and the whole country was mourned not long after.

Could it be that the weak woman in front of me assassinated him?How likely is this?

But regardless of the possibility, Yang Fei decided that she would stay here with a shameless face, and she would stand up for the Empress Dowager!
At that time, let alone canonize a princess, I am afraid that it will not be difficult to be canonized as a princess!
