After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

Thinking that it was an appointment between women, Shen Yu naturally would not go forward to disturb them. Seeing Xu Zhao and the imperial concubine enter the Baoguo Temple, he also walked into the temple.

The two groups went in different directions. Xu Zhao and the imperial concubine were led to the Moon Temple by a young monk, while Shen Yu went directly to find the abbot.

Su Yao only brought three palace maids into the temple. One was the personal maid who had always served her, and the other two young palace maids followed behind her, each carrying a basket.

There was nothing covering the basket. Xu Zhao looked at the two people. One of them was carrying a basket of fruit, and the other was carrying sandalwood for burning incense.

Today is the birthday of the Moon Goddess. The monks in Baoguo Temple come to clean the Moon Goddess Temple as soon as they finish their morning prayers.

In front of the statue of the Moon Goddess are fresh fruits that the monks bought early this morning. As for other pastries and the like, they were prepared by pilgrims who came to burn incense early this morning.

Xu Zhao knew very little about Baoguo Temple. Along the way, apart from meeting some young ladies from official families, he saw no other ordinary people.

If you don't understand, ask, "Today is the Moon Goddess' birthday, and the people of Moon Country have all returned to the temple to burn incense. I heard that Baoguo Temple is very famous in the Imperial City and its surrounding areas. Why aren't there any people from the city today?"

Logically speaking, the common people should be the first to arrive, and if they come now, they probably have to line up in front of the temple.

The monk Mingde glanced at the imperial concubine and thought that this girl must have been brought by the imperial concubine. It was probably her first time here and she didn't understand the rules of Baoguo Temple today.

Seeing that no one around the imperial concubine seemed to want to explain, Mingde led the way and explained, "Donor, you may not know that because Baoguo Temple is an imperial temple, today we are only hosting royal relatives, fifth-rank officials, and their families. On ordinary days, we are open to everyone."

Xu Zhao understood that since it was a royal temple, the royal family would use it first. But this was also a good thing, as he didn't have to queue up with others.

Mingde thought that this donor was visiting for the first time, so he introduced Baoguo Temple to her. Finally, Mingde said proudly, "The vegetarian food in our Baoguo Temple is also excellent. Many people come here just for its reputation. If you are interested, you can try it after burning incense."

"Oh?" This piqued Xu Zhao's interest.

However, since Xu Zhao came in with the Imperial Concubine, she still needed to ask the Imperial Concubine if she wanted to join in. "Your Majesty, would you like to try it together?"

Su Yao would come to Baoguo Temple on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year, and naturally he had also tried the vegetarian meals there.

Apart from hunting in the hunting grounds, Su Yao would only leave the palace on this day throughout the year. When she came to Baoguo Temple, she naturally thought of the vegetarian meal. "Since I'm here, of course I have to eat the vegetarian meal at Baoguo Temple."

"But since Prince Anding is accompanying you today, you can have lunch with him. You don't have to accompany me."

The young couple came out together, so Su Yao would not force Chaoxi to have dinner with her, lest King Anding come to bite her personally.

"Yes."

Xu Zhao was naturally happy and at ease.

The Moon Temple is on the west side of Baoguo Temple. After passing through one temple after another, you will finally step into the threshold of the Moon Temple.

In front of each temple is a spacious area filled with candles lit by pilgrims and various incense sticks.

The first month of the lunar year is a day for celebrating with the people. At this moment, people were burning incense in the Moon Temple. Su Yao did not order anyone to clear the area, but instead raised her hand and sent the palace maid who was supporting her over.

Su Yao waved her hand, and the palace maid beside her knelt down to salute. She took out six sandalwood sticks from the basket behind her and walked to the burning incense burner in front to borrow light.

Six incense sticks were gathered together and lit one by one. The palace maid did not blow them out with her mouth, but fanned them lightly with her hands. The originally burning fire went out, leaving a wisp of gray smoke.

The palace maid split the sandalwood in her hand into two, handing three sticks to the imperial concubine and three to Xu Zhao.

After Su Yao took the incense, he started from the threshold, bowed every three steps, and walked towards the Moon Temple.

Xu Zhao took the sandalwood from the palace maid, said something, and followed Su Yao's way into the hall.

The palace maids behind him lit incense and entered the hall together. This was the case in previous years. Su Yao did not restrict them. If they also wanted to pray to the gods and Buddha, she would naturally agree.

As they were approaching the main hall of the Moon Temple, a young lady happened to come out with her maidservants.

Seeing the imperial concubine arrive, the girl immediately stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "My humble daughter, Su Luoluo, greets the imperial concubine. I pay my respects to her."

Su Luoluo is the second daughter of the Minister of Rites. Her elder sister entered the palace two years ago. She is dignified in appearance and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was favored by Emperor Showa for a period of time. With a father who is a high-ranking official, her status in the palace is not bad. Now she is one of the four concubines and is given the title of Shu.

Because she has a father who is a second-rank official and a sister who is favored in the harem, Su Luoluo usually behaves eccentrically and arrogantly.

However, when meeting the imperial concubine, he still had to behave himself.

At this moment, the imperial concubine was praying for Qinghe to have a safe journey to Zhongjin, and she had no intention of caring about the people around her.

Her eyes didn't even fall on Su Luoluo. She just walked past without paying any attention to him.

Xu Zhao, who was following behind, thought that since he had come here to pray to Buddha for survival, he would naturally ask for something, regardless of whether it worked or not.

The only person related to her in this world was Shen Yu. Thinking about praying for his safety, and also praying for the safety of her parents, she was completely focused on the whole journey and didn't care about the woman who left.

But even if she cared, it would be useless. She didn't know the woman, so there was no need to go up and talk to her.

Su Luoluo, who was ignored by the two men one after another, stomped her feet angrily and walked out of the Moon Temple without looking back.

"She was born a palace maid, relying on the fact that she had served His Majesty for many years and was given the title of Imperial Concubine out of nostalgia. What's there to be proud of? Moreover, for a palace maid to reach her current status, who knows if she used some shameful means."

The maid following behind Su Luoluo was so frightened that her soul almost left her body when she heard this. She hurriedly turned around and saw that the imperial concubine and others had already walked far away. It seemed that they did not hear anything. She took a breath and quickly exhaled.

"Miss, be careful with your words." The maid reminded cautiously.

If this maid had not been with her for many years, Su Luoluo would have slapped her in the face when she heard this.

"What are you afraid of? She's just a concubine without any family background. No matter how favored she is, will His Majesty blame me for her? It's a joke."

"Miss, she is a royal concubine after all, so we'd better not talk about it." The little maid was frightened when she heard her own girl say such outrageous and blunt words, and hurried to persuade her.

"You, you," Su Luoluo stopped and turned around, tapping the maid's forehead. "Have you become stupid from serving others? Even if you really have concerns, we are just talking behind her back. We didn't say anything bad about her back then. Besides, am I wrong? Sooner or later, she will grow old and lose her beauty. By then, His Majesty will definitely prefer someone younger and prettier. I'm afraid her position as Imperial Concubine will soon come to an end."
