Chapter 36 The Queen
Mu Qingqing didn't want to go, but unfortunately she had no excuse this time. Mu Qingqian sprained her leg a few days ago, and the third prince was said to be out of town, not in the capital.

To pray for blessings, the queen wanted to stay there for half a month, so we had to stay there for half a month as well. Moreover, we were going to a royal temple with strict rules. We could not go down the mountain at will and could only eat vegetarian meals.

This queen had a very good relationship with His Majesty when she was young. She later gave birth to the eldest prince, the crown prince. Unfortunately, the crown prince was stabbed to death two years ago, and the murderer has not been found yet.

From then on, the Queen Mother ignored the world and only ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day.

Your Majesty has five sons in total. The Crown Prince is the smartest, most talented, and also the most satisfactory heir to the throne. Except for the fifth oldest, who is the youngest, the other sons are about the same age.

The second prince has the strongest power and is the most likely candidate for the crown prince.

The fourth brother is about the same, except that the third brother has no maternal family and has the weakest power.

The queen also had another child, a princess who was not too old. Unfortunately, she had a bad ending. After Chu Hongyuan came to power, he married the princess to a poor scholar who had no ability to become a juren and did nothing every day.

The princess did housework every day and used the money from her dowry shop to supplement the family income. Her mother-in-law was always tormenting her daughter-in-law, requiring her to visit her every morning and evening. Finally, the princess worked too hard and died of depression, leaving behind only a daughter.

The scholar married a second wife in less than half a year, and he was not nice to his stepdaughter at all.

It has to be said that those who went against Chu Hongyuan did not have a good ending back then, especially himself.

We arrived at the foot of the mountain early and had to wait for the Queen's sedan chair to arrive before we could go up the mountain.

Finally the sedan chair arrived, and Mu Qingqing knelt down with her mother.

"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Everyone please stand up."

Mu Qingqing stood up and finally saw the appearance of the Queen.

The Queen's hair turned gray. It was rumored that on the day the Prince died, the Queen's hair turned white overnight.

In fact, the queen is well maintained, she wears simple and elegant clothes, and her every move is full of nobility.

She was holding the hand of a girl, who was the fifth princess. The fifth princess was younger than Mu Qingqing and should be seven years old this year.

She is very cute, looking at everyone curiously with her big eyes, and she is not stage-shy at all.

Following behind him were three princes, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and others.

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is responsible for protecting the Empress. No other officials are present, but some young men with official positions are present, such as Mu Jingyi and Mu Jingyang.

Mu Qingqing felt relieved when she didn't see the Third Prince. She wasn't afraid, she just felt that it affected her mood.

The queen led everyone up the mountain, and behind her, the female relatives followed according to the rank of their official. Those who were too low in rank could not come today.

General Mu's official position is not low, it is considered very high and very senior.

Mu Qingqing was supporting her mother, so she couldn't be wearing a red dress, but her face was still eye-catching.

There were not many maids around her, only a nanny, Master Lu, and Banxia.

There must be a limit on the number of people, otherwise the temple would not be able to accommodate everyone.

Finally they arrived at the temple. The young monk led everyone to the prepared courtyard and asked everyone to put down their belongings first.

The people in the Mu Mansion don’t have to share a yard with others. They have their own rooms, with three rooms. The beddings inside have all been freshly hung out to dry.

There is a hand warmer in the room and a small pot for heating vegetarian meals.

This is where the female family members live. Madam Mu and Mu Qingqing each have one room, and Nanny and Master Banxia Lu live in one room.

Put the things down and let the nanny clean them up.

The four of them left the room and went to the place where the sutras were being chanted.

At this time, people arrived one after another. Mu Qingqing entered the room and heard the sound of the wooden fish. Her heart slowly calmed down. She sat next to her mother, clasped her hands together, and gradually cleared away all the distracting thoughts in her mind.

I don't know how much time passed before the sound of chanting disappeared, and I could only listen to the abbot and the queen discussing Buddhist principles.

The morning passed quickly, and everyone went to eat vegetarian food. The vegetarian food for the women in each mansion was similar, but they could not eat meat.

"Qingqing, mother will take you to pray for peace and blessings later. It's a good opportunity to pray for your brother, sister-in-law, and father at the same time."

"Okay, mother!"

Chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha are only required within one hour in the morning and after dinner, and you can do whatever you want in the afternoon.

How could these spoiled ladies eat such a meal? They pouted but dared not show it, not daring to be the first to stand out.

She ignored all the attention on Mu Qingqing. Want her to cause trouble? Oh, she is not stupid.

In fact, the vegetarian food is quite delicious. After all, it is a royal temple and the guests they entertain are all distinguished. The chefs are carefully selected, so the food is naturally delicious.

After the vegetarian meal, Mu Qingqing accompanied her mother to pray for peace and blessings. Her mother was called away by her good sisters to chat, and Mu Qingqing returned to her room to rest.

I was woken up by Pinellia in a daze. I can’t sleep too much, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep at night.

Every day, the little monk would place hot water at the gate of the yard so that people could wash and take a bath.

The next morning, Mu Qingqing was awakened by the sound of birds. In fact, this kind of life is very good. There is no intrigue and it allows her to be close to nature.

"Miss, are you awake? It's time for breakfast. I'll help you wash up."

Banxia's voice successfully stopped her from staying in bed. She sighed and quickly sat up, "I'm up, come in!"

Banxia brought a half basin of hot water and a towel for Mu Qing to wash and rinse her face.

Watching Banxia's nimble fingers working on her hair, a hairstyle suitable for a girl's age was completed.

There are small pink flowers on her head and ears as well.

The clothes she was wearing were plain with flowers on them.

Banxia took a step back, very satisfied with her results.

Mu Qingqing looked at herself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but smile.

The little beauty in the mirror was doing the same thing.

"Miss, you are getting more and more beautiful. You will definitely be a beauty in the future."

Mu Qingqing chuckled, "When did our Banxia learn Qinghe's smooth talk?"

Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud. She and Qinghe, one quiet and one active, complemented each other perfectly.

Banxia is calm and experienced. She manages the affairs in the yard very well and can even help her manage the shop.

Qinghe is lively and cute. Sometimes she is like a happy person, making Qingqing happy, but she is impulsive and not calm enough.

Qinghe also knows his own shortcomings, so he listens to Banxia's words very carefully.

"She is still a child."

Yes, Qinghe is still young, so Banxia is willing to pamper her, and so are the young lady and Master Lu.

Master Lu has a cold personality, but sometimes, when Qinghe keeps pestering him, he will still relax a little and let Qinghe be lazy occasionally.

Qinghe didn’t come this time. I wonder how depressed she must be in the affiliated high school!
The master and servant chatted and laughed, and finally finished cleaning up and went to the cafeteria with Madam Mu.

Temples are serious places and noisy atmosphere is prohibited. Moreover, these female members have very good rules and are not allowed to talk while eating or sleeping.

We come here to pray for blessings, listen to the chanting of scriptures and the host's stories about the scriptures every day, and sometimes people feel drowsy when listening.

Mu Qingqing sat upright the whole time, listening attentively. No matter how badly she pretended, she didn't want outsiders to say that the Mu family didn't know the rules.
