This palace is from modern day 2

Chapter 264 What a High Mountain

I agreed with Nangongchen to leave the palace, and he said he would accompany me, but I refused.

Now he is very busy with state affairs, so I can do this matter of praying to God and worshiping Buddha by myself.

I chose a good and auspicious day, and the weather was breezy, and I went out in a low-key manner.

I heard from Xiaoxue that the Songzi Guanyin outside the capital is very spiritual. Of course, she also heard the legend of this special spirituality from other people.

No matter, what I need now is the legend, the carriage went all the way out of the palace gate, then out of the capital, and then arrived at the foot of the West Mountain after more than an hour.
"Your Majesty, we're at the bottom of the mountain." Xiaoxue got out of the carriage first, then held my hand, and I jumped out of the carriage as well.Looking up at the stone steps in front of me, I suddenly felt suffocated.

"How many steps are there?" The stone steps in front of him can't be seen, and the mountain looks so high.

"Uh, I don't know about this servant, but if you walk quickly, you can arrive in an hour."

The corner of my mouth twitched, "One...an hour?" I only took an hour's carriage from the palace to here.

Looking at the endless stream of people on the mountain, I shook my head in frustration, "Let's go, let's... climb the mountain."

If you want to get something, you have to give something first, don't you?
It's just that my thoughts are optimistic, but my actions are useless. The physical work of climbing a mountain is too tiring for people to move, and it is no longer suitable for a "waste material" like me.
Xiaoxue wiped the sweat off my forehead, "Ma'am, why don't we take a break?"

"Xiaoxue, why do you have to walk up the mountain? Can't you use other methods?

"This is the only way to show your sincerity, ma'am."

Well, sincerity.

The so-called sincerity is that others walked for an hour, but I walked for an hour and a half.

When I arrived at the temple with more traffic, I was stunned. This... everyone likes to climb mountains.

Xiaoxue tugged on my sleeve, and whispered next to me, "Your Majesty, I should have known that the emperor would issue an edict that outsiders are prohibited from offering incense today."
