The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 81

The imperial ship docked at the Yangzhou wharf, and local officials and gentry greeted the emperor respectfully, and headed for the relic monastery where the empress was staying like stars holding the moon.

Because the Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism, and Jiangnan is a place where Buddhism is prevalent, the magistrate of Yangzhou handed over the pick-up to the Buddhist temple.

Yingyun supported the queen mother as she walked, and laughed softly: "Lafayette, in this place of fireworks, you have to be pure-minded and ascetic. It seems that this trip is of great merit."

The Queen Mother smiled at her and said, "You can tell the emperor about this. I heard that you had a great time last night..."

Yingyun choked on her own saliva, why did the news spread so fast, she looked up at the emperor walking ahead in embarrassment.

Coincidentally, at the same time, the emperor also looked back, and the eyes of the two briefly met. Yingyun quickly looked away, pretending to be affectionate with the queen mother and said: "Lafayette, the Buddhist temple is just ahead."

The emperor smiled faintly, and started talking with the officials who were picking him up again, walking much more briskly.

The Relic Temple is built in a place close to mountains and rivers, with mountains on one side and water on three sides, and bridges built when encountering water, with black tiles and white walls, it is really a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The monastery had been vacated a month earlier, and except for the abbot, the abbot, who stayed to preach the Dharma to the queen mother, the rest of the young monks all went to other monasteries, or wandered away.

Yingyun and other harem concubines were arranged in several rooms in the backyard. The courtyards were connected by circular arches, one after another.If the previous Anlan Palace was like a lady, then the Buddhist monastery in front of him is that Xiaojia Biyu, which has a special flavor.

Since living in the Zen courtyard, the Empress Dowager ordered that according to the rules of the temple, she would get up at Yin hour every day, and enter the Zen room at the beginning of Mao hour, and meditate with the abbot, the abbot.

In order to please the Empress Dowager, Concubine Ling and others worked diligently every day, and they were always the first to wait for her in the meditation room. The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with this.

As for Yingyun, she persisted for two days, kneeling on the futon, chanting scriptures like a little monk, talking without intention, and dozing off from time to time.However, Yingyun thought, there is always one advantage of living in a Buddhist monastery, that is, the emperor probably won't ask anyone to serve him at bedtime.

After all, even though they are not Buddhists in the holy land of Buddhism, they still have to observe some precepts.

On the third day, when it was still daylight, Anai came on time to ask Yingyun to get up and go to the meditation room.It was getting late, but Yingyun lay on the bed and refused to get up, which made Anai anxious.

Like a monk chanting scriptures, Anai whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, get up quickly, the slave just saw Lady Li go to the Buddhist monastery, if you are the last one again, it will make Lafayette unhappy."

Yingyun tucked herself into the quilt and said, "I don't want to go, I am Amitabha even in my dreams. Just let me sleep a little longer."

"Your Majesty!" Anais looked anxious, gently pulled her quilt, and said, "My Lady, I beg you."

"Ah!" Yingyun yelled, if this continues, she will go crazy.

In modern times, she never knew that Yan Ting liked to listen to Buddhism!How did ancient times lead to such an annoying hobby!
Yingyun took a head out of the quilt and said in a daze, "Anai, please help me ask for leave, just say... just say I'm sick..."

Before Anais could reply, the door of the wing room was opened, and the emperor said without anger, "It turns out that this is how the empress perfunctory and deceived Lafayette."
