Long Live the Empress

"Oh~ Look at what you said, sister, it seems like we don't care about the eldest master!" Su Hongfu smiled with her hands covering her lips, and Aunt Su rolled her eyes and wanted to hit her.

"Alright! Jing'er didn't say she wouldn't go, what nonsense are you talking about?" The old lady didn't want to listen to their chattering, so she knocked the ground heavily with her cane. "Jing'er, how are you? Can you walk?"

Yue Jing's forehead was covered with sweat, but she still nodded stubbornly, "Grandma, my granddaughter is fine! It's just... I'm scared to be alone in the Taoist temple. I want my second sister to go with me. For brother Hong's sake, my second sister will definitely not refuse! Right, second sister?"

Yue Jinghong didn't expect Yue Jinghao to say that, and subconsciously went to see Aunt Su.

The old lady glanced at Yue Jinghong who didn't say anything, "Jinghong?"

No matter what reason Yue Jinghong came up with, it would be inappropriate to refuse at this moment, so she could only nod.

Half an hour later, Yue Jinghao and Yue Jinghong set off for Qingshan Taoist Temple in two carriages respectively.

Yue Jinghao watched the carriage getting farther and farther away from the capital, so she gave a few instructions to Nanny Hong and Old Zheng outside the carriage.

Agate in the carriage was fidgeting, "Miss, I feel like something is fishy. There are few people on this road, so we should be careful!"

Yue Jinghao touched Manjue's little nose, "We Manjue have become smarter! However, it is precisely because there are so few people that they will not take action on the road."

Agate really couldn't figure it out, "Why?"

Yue Jinghao closed her eyes. "Qingshan Taoist Temple has always been very popular, and the people who go there to worship are all noble ladies. If something happens to me in a crowded place, what reputation will your lady have?"

In ancient times, women valued their reputation more than their lives. If a woman lost her good reputation, her life would be ruined.

The two people outside the carriage also heard it clearly and became more alert.

Although Qingshan Taoist Temple is hidden in the mountains and forests, it still cannot stop pilgrims from coming.

The young Taoist priest arranged room number 14 in the east district for Yue Jinghao, and room number 19 in the west district for Yue Jinghong.

Agate was not happy with this. "Young Master, can you change the wing room for my young lady? This wing room... is too far from the main entrance!"

In fact, it is not a question of distance, but the fourteenth is too unlucky! Look at the second young lady, number nineteen! Doesn't that mean that her young lady will be unlucky, but she will last forever? Why?

The young Taoist priest bowed apologetically, "Infinite life and blessings! The other rooms are full, please bear with me, young lady."

Manju was about to argue again, but Yue Jinghao stopped her, "Just stay in this room! Thank you, Master!"

Seeing Pearl's smug look, Agate wanted to run over and kick her a few times.

Nanny Hong and Manou were tidying up the room together, while Yue Jinghao looked around the room.

There was only one window in the room, and outside of the window was a large lotus pond. Opposite the gate was the east wing, which was not far from Yue Jinghong's wing.

Yue Jinghao ordered Madam Hong to take out the golden silk gauze curtain that had been prepared long ago and hang it outside the window, fixing it firmly on the top, left and right, but leaving half a foot of it hanging outside the window. This golden silk is extremely strong and transparent, so if you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that there is something hanging on the window.

Yue Jinghao rested for a while, then sat at the desk and started copying scriptures.

Yue Jinghong arrived at the wing room, with a look of pride in her eyes! Uncle had indeed made a thorough plan, even picking the most unlucky room number. Tonight would be the end of Yue Jinghao...

At dinner time, the young Taoist priest came to invite Yue Jinghao to have dinner in the hall.

Seeing that Yue Jinghao had been copying scriptures for a long time, Manjue discussed with the young Taoist priest, "Young Master, can I go and get some food to eat in the side room?"

"Today is the day when the abbot of the temple is giving a lecture. Miss, please go to the hall for your meal!" After saying this, the young Taoist priest made a gesture of invitation.

Yue Jinghao washed her hands and went to the hall with Manou.

The hall was filled with ladies who came to listen to the sutra. Since the abbot had not arrived yet, the noise of conversation was getting louder and louder.

Yue Jinghong was beautiful, and the snow-white gauze dress she wore made her look like an immortal. Plus, she was the daughter of Prime Minister Yue, so of course she was the object of all the ladies’ compliments!
