Chapter 203 Father, Your Majesty, I Request You to Abdicate 18
Huguo Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing, only half a day's horse ride away from the imperial city. The most famous things in the temple are vegetarian food and lotus flowers. Oh, now there is also the empress dowager who lives here for a long time. It is also a place that the wives of princes and ministers flock to.
From time to time, common people in coarse linen clothes carrying baskets walked by on the official road, and horse-drawn carriages were passing by in an endless stream. At this time, everyone gave way, and saw a young man riding away on horseback, surrounded by red-clothed guards.
"It wasn't him you saw last time, was it?" He quickly pulled the curtain when the young man on horseback looked over.
"Of course not, I'm not feeling well, I'm just envious." She coughed pretentiously. We met again, the little princess.
The moment the curtain was lowered, Jiuli looked back on horseback.
"Your Highness?" Mei Ruo followed the line of sight and looked behind her.
Apart from the common people who were walking with loads and baskets on their shoulders, there was almost nothing on the carriages of the nobles, so?
"Hurry up and get to the Huguo Temple before noon." The fox will always show its tail, so she is not in a hurry.
"Yes." He didn't care about his horse for the moment and whipped the horse to chase after the prince in the front.
Going forward, there are towering ancient trees and lush greenery, with winding paths leading to secluded places. The entire temple is built against the mountain. On the more than 900 stone steps, there are vendors who got up early to set up stalls, and their shouts can be heard one after another.
The main gate of Huguo Temple was wide open, and the abbot appeared in a red monk's robe, with warrior monks walking side by side on both sides. The area in front of the gate was empty, with only the marriage fortune sticks hanging under a tree rustling in the wind.
He dismounted at the foot of the mountain, took two steps at a time, and walked quickly up the mountain path, his breathing steady and gentle without any disorder.
"A distinguished person is climbing the mountain today. We can definitely sell all of our stuff." He put down the burden and looked around.
"There are indeed more people today than the previous two days," especially more maids wearing fine clothes, which is a good thing.
They talked in low voices, drank mountain spring water, ate hard morning biscuits, and looked for potential customers.
Jiuli led the guard team over there, and the vendors on both sides felt that they couldn't see enough and there was complete silence for a moment.
It was a long time before a discussion broke out.
"My Buddhist name is Linghui. I am here to meet Your Highness. Your Highness, please go first." I heard last month that someone was coming this month, and I was always prepared.
"Is the Queen Mother free now?"
"The Queen Mother worships Buddha in the back hall every day." Linghui frowned. These past few days seemed to be more noisy than before.
Worshiping Buddha? The Queen Mother has many lives on her hands, but she actually believes in this? There was no change on her face.
"It's just that they've been making a lot of noise these past few days, as if they knew the Zhu family no longer exists," Linghui said, with a chill in her eyes.
"It's not going to be a big storm. I'll send you some vegetarian food later."
I was led to the exclusive courtyard. The bluestone path at the entrance extended to the corridor. There was a grape trellis on the right and stone tables and chairs on the left. A string of bells hung under the eaves, ringing in the wind.
"I will not disturb Your Highness any longer." He turned around and touched the thick stack of banknotes in his arms, smiling widely.
Meiruo took out a handkerchief and spread it on the stone chair. Jiuli sat down leisurely, and there were teacups and snacks at hand, which was very thoughtful.
"Meiruo, change your clothes and follow me to see the Queen Mother."
How could someone who responded by quickly counterattacking be crazy?
On the other side, the younger brother of the brothers who lived in the bamboo garden was pulling the little monk to ask, trying to find out whether his brother was Um-hum.
"Hey, Mr. Mu San, please let me go. This is not something we can bring up. How could that royal relative..." It seemed as if he had said nothing, and yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
The third son of the Mu clan, Mu Huanian, frowned. Royal relatives? The sickly second brother is not worthy of them.
At night, two figures appeared on the roof of the Queen Mother's room, peeled off the tiles, and put them back the next second.
"Your Highness," Meiruo's face flushed, and she looked at Jiuli, "Could the Queen Mother have been kidnapped?"
"Go back," he grabbed Meiruo's collar and turned back to the courtyard.
She took off her veil and took a big sip of water. Jiuli really didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, could do such a thing! That posture was disgusting and disgusting. She was dirty.
"The Mo Gewei who told my father," he paused before continuing, "Which relatives are here at the Huguo Temple today?"
Hmm? Meiruo suddenly became excited. Ah, has His Highness finally come to his senses? His Highness the Crown Prince has a maid to sleep with him!
"The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingning, the two daughters of the Marquis of Xuanwei, the Duke's Mansion, and more," he read very quickly.
"Is this what I want to hear? Meiruo?" He lowered his head and drank tea. His words were light and flirtatious, but they made Meiruo shudder.
"The two young masters of the Imperial Merchant Mu family, the son of General Suiyuan, and the young masters selected by the palace are all living in the guest house." Damn it, how could she be so arrogant? Has she forgotten the cruelty of His Highness? !
"The imperial merchant Mu family? I will stay in the Huguo Temple for a few days. You should train well with Chuyi during these days," Youyou said.
"Here," Chuyi jumped down from the tree and looked at Meiruo with a strange look in his eyes. Finally, she fell into his hands, and he looked around twice with ill intentions.
"Yes." Meiruo responded weakly. Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you have done. It's just a few candies!
"Return to the palace after the Lu Ming Banquet, and you all leave." He gave the order.
No, Your Highness, Meiruo stretched out her hand, and the change in her expression made Chuyi and Shiwu stare at her intently, it was so wonderful.
"Meiruo, you didn't expect that you would fall into my hands, did you?" Chuyi smiled strangely, that was the reward given to him by His Highness!
"Isn't it just two candies? Isn't what His Highness gave you enough? Is it necessary for you to do this? Why do you bother me for no reason?" Meiruo brushed the dust off her body and whispered.
"Is that a little candy? That's my birthday gift!" Chuyi, who had sharp ears, looked back and sneered! You Meiruo was in trouble!
Although he can't do anything, he can strengthen the training to let Meiruo know the lesson: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
Fifteen squatted on the tree and did not come down the whole time, watching the two people confronting each other in low voices. He was originally wondering why these two were so hostile to each other when they were all His Highness's men? What happened?!
Chuyi is well-known for being stingy and protecting his food. It's okay to snatch other things from him, but eating this thing? You'll make a big grudge against him!
He yawned, then leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest.
In the morning, Jiuli was awakened by the singing of birds outside the house. With the help of a group of maids, she packed up and got up to go out.
The weather was still a little chilly when I got up that morning, so I had a simple breakfast, consisting of a few cakes, pickles, and bird's nest and white fungus soup.
It was almost noon when we finished our meal. The lunch was brought over by the little monk. It included honey-glazed tofu, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, cold wild vegetables, and the most famous three-fresh noodles of Huguo Temple. It tasted excellent.
"Alright, I got it. There is no need to mention this matter again. How are you doing now after you switched your inner skills?" He turned the ring without showing any emotion, and even his words were calm.
"It has reached a small level of success." Chuyi was sure that he could beat two masters at once! After practicing for a while, it was not impossible to beat three masters. I just didn't know where His Highness learned it from.
"Teach it to the forces they belong to. Do you know anything about the palace selection?" There is no need to rush to place people. Her stepfather is well-known for cherishing talents and there is no need for recommendation.
"Your Highness is selecting. There are many talented people in Jiangnan. I know that. What does Your Highness mean?" Are you going to send someone to the court now?
"There's no need to take action unless you're 100% sure. Keep a close eye on the movements of various countries. It's almost time to rest and recuperate." Jiuli chuckled. Her cheap father was ready.
A sharp look flashed across his eyes, then quickly retracted.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best." Chu Yi's words were full of confidence. With this set of skills in hand, everything would be easy.
