On the day of praying, they had to get up and follow the schedule of the monks in Shangqing Temple. Taoxi pushed open the door and was shocked to see the big dark circles under her master's eyes.

"My lady, didn't you sleep at night?" Taoxi helped her wash and dress: "You have to fast and bathe in the morning. Concubines cannot put on makeup, but I'll still cover you up. It's not appropriate to go out like this."

We were all staying in a side room last night and had no idea what had happened.

Everything was ready, and she put on the Zen robes prepared by the monks. Even though she had a charming appearance, Taoxi made a simple decoration for her, and she could really see some of the sincerity of someone who worshipped Buddha.

Pushing open the door, Concubine Qi and Ning Ruxin were also ready. Zhaoyue nodded slightly to them. Ning Ruxin smiled slightly and went out first.

Concubine Qi didn't even look at them. She was supported by Xiao He and frowned slightly: "Why do you still have to wear this kind of thing? I brought so many clothes, it's really a waste."

Xiao He comforted her and told her what a monk had told her this morning about what happened last night.

Concubine Qi first smiled with her hands covering her mouth, then she said angrily: "What does he mean? He stayed in front of their windows but didn't come to me. Isn't this saying that I am speechless?"

"My lady..." Xiao He was speechless and wiped the sweat off his forehead silently.

But Ning Ruxin's eyes flickered when she heard this: "What did you say? Zhao Chang also had footprints in the room?"

Lan Er: "Yes, fortunately that young monk only has the courage to commit crimes but no evil intentions."

Ning Ruxin clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her mind in turmoil.

Why would there be one in her room?

Could it be that Brother Yan went to her room?

No, it's impossible.

She denied herself, but as soon as this idea came to her mind, she thought of his previous refusal to meet her, and it was like it had taken root in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Her eyes darkened.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Zhaoyue forced herself to doze off and arrived at the temple on an empty stomach.

An altar was being built outside, with monks and Yulin guards coming and going.

Zhu Dingyuan was talking to the abbot: "Yan Yang."

Yan Yang went over and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"Where is that little monk from yesterday?"

"I imprisoned him in the meditation room. This morning, I opened the room and found that he had committed suicide. He also left a letter of repentance."

He handed over the blood letter, and the abbot took it and read it, then closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha."

The Queen and the Queen Mother also arrived at the temple.

Zhaoyue knelt in the second row and chanted scriptures with them. Then the abbot waved his hand and signaled to arrange the meal.

She covered her rumbling stomach and was so moved that she almost cried. As soon as she walked out of the temple gate and headed towards the real canteen, Zhu Dingyuan came out from nowhere: "Yue'er."

She was stunned, "Your Majesty." She saluted.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhu Dingyuan looked at her fair face and was in a good mood. He even took her hand and said, "According to the rules, I can't see you. Did you miss me?"

He actually said these words to me, just like a couple in love.

Zhao Yue pretended to be shy: "Your Majesty, I do want to, but I am still in the temple..."

Zhu Dingyuan sighed softly: "It's okay to accompany me for dinner."

Zhaoyue followed him in, and everyone's eyes fell on her, especially Concubine Qi's, which seemed to shoot out two knives.

She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief: the Queen Mother was not there.

Sitting next to Zhu Dingyuan, the queen smiled and said, "Even Zhao Changzai can't hide her brilliance in her Zen robes. She is really a wonderful person."

"The Queen is so complimentary."

"Yes, she looks good." Zhu Dingyuan insisted. Zhaoyue's expression froze. He then said, "Ning Changzai looks good too. Do you feel better today?"

Ning Changzai spoke softly, "Much better. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

The only one not mentioned was Concubine Qi. She looked at the plain noodles in front of her, lost her appetite, ate a few bites, and left angrily.

When Zhaoyue was about to leave, Zhu Dingyuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yue'er, go to the rain pavilion and wait for me."

She looked up at him. Zhu Dingyuan had a smile in his narrow eyes. He nodded slightly at her, then left with the queen.

Zhaoyue went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went to wait in the rain pavilion in the temple, propping up her head and staring at Wushan Mountain in the distance in a daze.

He Quan appeared from behind: "What are you thinking about, young master?"

"Do you think His Majesty is weird?"

"What's strange about that?" He Quan sat next to her.

Zhu Dingyuan was suspicious, cold and depressed. In her previous life, she was just a plaything in his bed, but in this life, he made her feel some sincerity. It was so strange.

"Maybe I'm wrong."

He Quan lifted her chin, his eyes showing strange emotions, a bit panicked and a bit scared: "Are you attracted to him?"

Zhao Yue slapped his hand away: "How is this possible? You are really crazy."

The emperor has no feelings. She will not fall in love with such a man. What she loves is the position.

He Quan softened his voice and said, "What I give you, my lady, can make a man lose his appetite. The longer he stays with you, the more he will... be unable to stop."

"I kind of believe this now." Zhao Yue glanced at his cold, handsome face and slid her finger across the tip of his nose.

If it could be used by you, would it have the same effect? ​​What a pity.

Zhao Yue's expression turned cold: "His Majesty is coming, let's go."

He Quan pursed his lips, with complex emotions in his eyes, and finally left.

When Zhu Dingyuan came, he looked at her slender figure with a smile on his lips: "Have you changed your clothes?"

Zhao Yue stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to see me, you can't just have plain food."

He put his arm around Zhaoyue's waist and said, "With a beautiful face like this, no matter what you wear, you will look like a fairy descended from the earth."

Zhao Yue sat on his lap: "Your Majesty... this is inappropriate."

Zhu Dingyuan held her down firmly. He was wearing a light blue suit today, with gold embroidered jade bamboo on the cuffs and front, which gave him a rather romantic air.

He leaned close to Zhaoyue's shoulder and said a little tiredly: "I know, let me lean on you, and smell the fragrance on your body. I always feel extra comfortable."

The sound of flowing water and the rustling of tree branches harmonized with each other. Zhaoyue emptied herself and stopped struggling.

After a while, Zhu Dingyuan said, "After praying for blessings, the Queen Mother will stay in the temple for a few days. The Queen wants to go to the Medicine King Temple. Can I take you with me?"

Zhao Yue was about to refuse, but she heard him say, "You've been confined in the palace all day long, and now you've finally gotten out. Don't you want me to take you for a walk?"

This touched her heart. Anyone who refused would be a fool. She nodded and said, "I will obey your majesty."

Zhu Dingyuan took a deep breath, the scent of the crabapple in her room filled his nose, the heat in his heart surged up, and he whispered: "Yue'er... every time you are close to me, I can't help myself..."

Zhao Yue's body stiffened, not quite understanding what he meant.

But she understood the next second.

Zhu Dingyuan took her hand...

There was a strange heat there.

His voice was hoarse: "Look, I missed you."

Zhao Yue looked at him with seductive eyes, and did not take it away in a pretentious manner: "Your Majesty, this move is a wise one."

In broad daylight, he dared.

Zhu Dingyuan laughed, the corners of his gentle eyes turned slightly red, flashing with frightening desire: "Because of Yue'er, I can't stop, I... feel uncomfortable..."

He moved slightly.
