So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Mrs. Yu did what she said. She said that they would go to Shijue Temple to burn incense the next day, and early in the morning she sent Madam Zhang to Mingyu Garden to call Xiao Yueshan.

Zhou Yao also had to report to the Hanlin Academy today, so the couple quickly got up, packed up, and went their separate ways.

To be honest, this was the first time Xiao Yueshan had seen Zhou Yao in his official uniform. Before, the two of them always had important things to do, so they were always in a hurry.

When the Ministry of Personnel issued an edict to appoint officials, they also sent official uniforms of corresponding ranks. Thanks to Empress Yang, official uniforms were issued after the appointment, with one court uniform, two official uniforms, and four daily uniforms granted by the emperor. If needed, they could go to the Ministry of Works to buy them.

When on duty at the Hanlin Academy, they had to wear the Xuanyang crown and clothes, which were specially granted by Empress Yang to the Confucian instructors and students of the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy. It was also a kind of identity recognition for officials from the Imperial College or the Hanlin Academy.

The Xuanyang crown and clothing is an ancient Xuanduan clothing made of silk gauze. Those above the fifth rank have cloud patterns, while those below are plain. The edges of the clothing are decorated with blue and green, and the front and back of the clothes are decorated with patches of the same pattern. If it is for students, it is all plain.

Zhou Yao's outfit was a plain Xuanyang crown and robe with a egret patch. This pure black color perfectly matched his elegant temperament. Xiao Yueshan helped him put on the Xuanyang crown and robe. There was only one sentence in her mind that could describe her feeling: "Only when the color is too plain can you know that the flower is more gorgeous."

His eyes were as soft and crystal as the warm snow that had not yet melted in spring, his nose was like a hanging gallbladder, and his lips were like warm jade. He looked like a flower on a high mountain, intimidating yet tempting to be picked.

Xiao Yueshan was the one who was seduced into having a kiss. She couldn't help but kiss him on the lips, and his thin and moist lips were instantly stained with a touch of bright rouge.

It's over, it's even more tempting to commit a crime. What is it like to be seduced by your husband every day?

She took two deep breaths, quickly moved away from the handsome dog, and ran away with Shutong without looking back.

Zhou Yao sipped the rouge on his lips with lingering satisfaction. His wife's morning kiss made him feel better about going to work. The time had come and he had to leave.

Madam Yu took Xiao Yueshan in a carriage to Shijue Temple.

Shijue Temple was built on the Moon-Watching Mountain outside the city. Empress Yang's nickname was Shuyao, which means "the moon is bright, the people are beautiful, Shuyao is calm, and the heart is quiet." This mountain was where Emperor Taizong first met Empress Yang, so he named it Moon-Watching Mountain.

The carriage was not moving fast, the weather was fine all the way, and the swaying motion made people feel inexplicably moved.

As the sun rises, the temple reflected in the green trees, the apricot-yellow courtyard walls, the blue-grey temple ridges, and the towering green ancient trees are all bathed in the rosy red morning glow.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the temple. After entering the temple, they had to walk to show their sincerity. Madam Yu took Xiao Yueshan and walked step by step on the bluestone road stained with morning dew towards the main hall of the temple.

In addition to the tablets enshrined outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Emperor Taizong Chu Hehui requested another tablet for Empress Yang, which was enshrined in Shijue Temple, so that his beloved wife could enjoy the incense of the mortal world. For this purpose, he built a hall and gave it the inscription "Shijue Chengxin". He also issued an edict that after his death, his descendants should also request a tablet to be enshrined in Shijue Temple with Empress Yang.

With the blessing of the emperor's halo, Shijue Temple became very popular. It was said that all wishes for marriage, official career, offspring and longevity would be granted here. This completely ignored the fact that Empress Yang herself was childless and had a young life. People only believed that with the emperor's spiritual blessing, her wish would be fulfilled.

Madam Yu brought Xiao Yueshan to worship the Goddess of Childbirth. She asked Madam Zhang to prepare many offerings and incense, and donated a lot of money for incense, and made a sincere wish. Xiao Yueshan had no choice but to follow her and kowtow and worship. The more gifts, the less blame. Even if she didn't want to have a child, she could still pray for the safety and well-being of her family.

Thinking of her family, she thought of her parents. She had been here for more than four months, and she didn't know if her parents were doing well. Now Zhou Yao was here too, and they were both only children. The remaining four elders were probably heartbroken.

She couldn't help but pray devoutly, if gods really existed, please bless them to return home as soon as possible.

Mrs. Yu was generous and pious, so the Zen master in the temple invited them to have a vegetarian meal before leaving. Wangyue Mountain has beautiful scenery, and you can also go around to enjoy it.

There were many ladies and young ladies who came to worship Buddha, and Madam Yu also met many acquaintances, so she had to greet them one by one. Xiao Yueshan followed the socializing, her little face was almost frozen with laughter, and while the ladies were talking, she used the excuse of changing clothes and went out with Shutong to get some fresh air.

Both of them were a little directionally challenged, and before they knew it, they were walking in a more and more secluded area, until they came to a yard they had never been to before.

There was a plaque on the gate that read "Liaowu Temple". Xiao Yueshan saw that the gate was wide open, so he wanted to go in with Shutong to ask for directions.

She reached out and knocked on the door gently, then asked softly, "Nice to meet you. Is anyone there? I'd like to ask you for directions."

Only then did they hear a woman inside reply, "Those who are here are destined to meet each other, please come in." Only then did Xiao Yueshan dare to enter the yard with Shu Tong.

The courtyard was not very big, but the furnishings were simple and elegant. Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard were bronze, which was really surprising. Although Xiao Yueshan didn't understand how much these things were worth, he could vaguely feel that this courtyard was extraordinary.

An old lady with white hair and a youthful face was enjoying the fragrance in the courtyard. She was wearing a longevity peach patterned dress with a double-breasted front. The fabric of the dress was better than any other dress Xiao Yueshan had seen since she came here. Even the clothes worn by the Princess of Jin and the Grand Princess of Xinzhen in the Gongshun Marquis's mansion were not as exquisite as this one.

Xiao Yueshan thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly bowed to the woman, "I got lost and accidentally entered a treasure land. I am sorry for offending you, madam. Please forgive me." She bowed again and prepared to pull Shu Tong away.

"Since we have the chance to meet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" the old woman said. She sounded like she was only in her forties or fifties, and her appearance was well maintained, with no signs of aging at all.

"Please sit down and have a cup of tea." The old woman invited.

Xiao Yueshan swallowed nervously and could only retreat back to the courtyard, fearing that the woman would think that he was not willing to accept her toast. He bowed again and said, "Thank you, Madam," then sat down at the table and respectfully drank a cup of tea.

The old woman didn't say anything, and she didn't know what to say. Shu Tong was even less talkative, and the three of them were silent for a long time.

Xiao Yueshan thought about it and introduced herself awkwardly, "Madam, I am Xiao Yueshan, the eldest daughter of the Director of the Imperial College. Today, I accompanied my mother to the Shijue Temple to burn incense and pray. I was not careful and took the wrong road, disturbing your meditation. Please give me some guidance so that I can return to the temple to avoid worrying my mother." She bowed again.

"Don't worry, have another cup." The old woman personally ordered her another cup of tea. "Smell my fragrance and see if it's good."

Oh my God! Please save me! I am in the middle of nowhere. If she kills me, no one will know! Xiao Yueshan screamed in her heart. The child really can't get separated from his mother.
