Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the Taoist priest Zhike rushed out, he saw that the master of the temple, the supervisor, all the hall masters and other heads of the Baiyun Temple had all arrived, lining up neatly at the entrance of the temple to welcome the distinguished guest.

    ?Looking at the square in front of the temple, the honor guard of the nobles has passed through the Lingxing Gate.

    I saw the first group of guards wearing flying fish uniforms, holding two red staffs, two Qingdao flags, two crimson flags, as well as two halberds and cloaks, my staff, Banjian, Ligua and Guduo to lead the way;

    Then came a group of eunuchs wearing steel-forked hats and green straight suits, four holding ring festivals, four holding red gauze lanterns, two holding green square umbrellas, and one holding red clouds and phoenixes.  Four people holding umbrellas, four holding round green peacock fans, and four holding red flower fans came meandering around an apricot-yellow eight-carry phoenix sedan.

    Next to the phoenix sedan was a group of palace maids, each holding a footrest, a basin, a pitcher, a whisk and other utensils.  Finally, a small group of guards in uniforms came to the rear to protect the safety of the nobles in the car.

    The Taoist priests from Baiyunguan are used to welcoming and seeing off people, and they can tell at a glance that it is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Ming Dynasty who is here!

    Facing the cannibalistic gaze of the spectators, Zhike stepped forward to guide the eldest princess in her ceremony.

    When the trumpets, flags, staffs, streamers, pumpkins, swords and axes were arranged in two groups in front of the mountain gate, and the umbrellas and round fans were divided into two groups, the eight-carrying phoenix sedan was steadily stopped in front of the mountain gate. Several palace maids set up rows on both sides of the sedan door.  He stood up, put down the pedal, and then raised the sedan curtain.

    The master of the temple hurriedly led all the Taoist priests, bowed deeply across the barrier, and respectfully welcomed Her Royal Highness the Princess!

    You could hear a needle drop outside the mountain gate. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look up.

    Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, who was wearing a bejeweled crown, a bright red dress, and a Luan, Feng, and Xia pei, stepped out of the phoenix sedan with the support of two female officials.

    Across the splendid barrier, the eldest princess smiled at the viewer and said, "Master Shen, please heal yourself quickly. I acted on a whim and did not inform you in advance, thus causing trouble to all of you."

    "Your Highness is too polite. You have always taken care of me and been kind to me. I only worry that I can't repay you." The white-haired master of the temple smiled hurriedly and said: "Please come in quickly."

    The eldest princess nodded slightly and entered Baiyun Temple surrounded by eunuchs and maids.

    After entering the temple, the obstacles were removed, and Her Royal Highness the Princess revealed her true appearance.  She has a delicate oval face, charming red phoenix eyes, beauty, dignity, and overwhelming nobility.

    But when she smiled slightly, a pair of shallow pear dimples appeared on her cheeks, which immediately diluted the majesty of a noble lady and made her look younger than her actual age, as if she was only a young woman in her 23s and 40s.  .

    In fact, the eldest princess is already thirty-two years old. She is the third daughter of Emperor Shizongsu and the only living sister of Emperor Longqing. She was just promoted to the title of eldest princess of Ning'an earlier this year.

    Although Emperor Longqing and the eldest princess were not born from the same mother, they probably had sympathy for each other, and the two had a close relationship since childhood.

    Now that all the other brothers and sisters are dead, only the two of them are left. Long Qing, who has always been affectionate, took great care of Ning An.  Not only did she make an exception and granted titles to all her children, but she also took pity on her being a widow and had nothing to do, and gave her the management of all the imperial mansions and stores in the capital.

    Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest princess of Ning'an is the richest woman in the capital.

    The eldest princess has a long-standing relationship with Baiyun Temple, and her donations have been constant over the years. How could Guanzhu Shen not do his best to please the God of Wealth?

    ??~~

    In that room, Zhao Shouzheng is still in Xiao Penglai!

    It¡¯s not like the little Taoist priest hasn¡¯t had people come looking for him. Unfortunately, Penglai covers an area of ??three hundred acres and is divided into three gardens. There are countless trees, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions, making it a good place for hide and seek.

    The wind was strong today, and the little Taoist priest¡¯s voice was blown away in an instant. As a result, I searched around and found nothing, so I had to pretend that he had gone away

    When Zhao Shouzheng finished remembering the past and was about to come out along the veranda, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

    I saw a group of Jinyi guards carrying embroidered spring knives walking into Xiao Penglai. Two guards guarded the moon gate, and the remaining people separated along several paths and started searching vigilantly.

    Zhao Shouzheng's heart skipped a beat. He had lived with his father in Beijing. As soon as he saw the vigilant posture of the Jin Yiwei, he knew that a relative of the emperor was about to enter Penglai.

    Although he has the reputation of raising people, it would be very troublesome for him to fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei. I am afraid that his old nephew will have to come forward to fish for him.  Now that Mr. Zhao's status is rising and he is becoming more and more shameless, he naturally doesn't want to embarrass that person.

    Based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Zhao Shouzheng quietly retreated to the depths of the garden.

    He knew that in such a big garden, it would be impossible for such a small number of people to search it.  Those royal guards were just alerting the enemy, and then inspected the area that the noble man wanted to visit.

    He then headed north along the path.  ?Peach, plum, cherry and other trees are widely planted in the garden outside.  Therefore, in the middle of winter, the scenery in the North Garden is the worst, and it is farthest from the Moon Gate. It is expected that no one will care about it.

    ??~~

    In the Qiu Zu Palace, the eldest princess knelt devoutly in front of the statue of Qiu Chuji and prayed silently.

    ??Guanzhu Shen personally offered incense and sang in praise, and then served the princess before she finished offering incense.

    After coming out of Qiu Zu Palace, the eldest princess glanced at the moon gate leading to Xiao Penglai, smiled at Guanzhu Feng who was following him and said: "I want to relax inside, I just go and do your business."

    "Yes." Guanzhu Shen responded hurriedly and respectfully. Xiao Penglai was originally a scenic spot that the princes and nobles would definitely visit when they came to offer incense.  He saw that Jin Yiwei had already set up a guard at the Moon Gate, and knew that there would be no more people waiting inside, so he stopped and said with confidence: "Your Highness, be careful of the strong wind."

    "Yes." The eldest princess nodded slightly, and then entered the moon gate surrounded by the palace eunuchs.

    When His Highness enters, the Jin Yiwei will set up guard again and no one will be allowed to enter.

    After a short tour in the garden, the eldest princess ordered her surroundings: "I want to be quiet for a while, Liu Shanggong can follow me."

    The attendants responded, and Liu Shanggong ordered again: "You guys find a sheltered place and wait, don't go too far."

    After saying that, she followed the footsteps of the eldest princess and walked with her in the winding corridor.

    Looking at the dead and desolate garden outside the corridor without a single figure, the eldest princess sighed quietly for a long time: "It seems that he has left."

    Hearing this, Liu Shanggong smiled bitterly and said: "I have never seen His Highness so impulsive. As soon as you arrive, all those traitors must have been driven away"

    "It's my fault." The eldest princess nodded slightly and said, "Even if we are here, with our current status, it is difficult for us to recognize each other."

    "Yes, after so many years, everything has changed." Liu Shanggong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the opportunity to persuade: "Your Highness, it is windy outside, let's go back early."

    "We're here, let's go to our old residence in Beiyuan before we talk." The eldest princess didn't want to go back like this.

    "Yes." Liu Shanggong responded and accompanied the eldest princess to the North Garden, which was the farthest away.

    At this time, Zhao Shouzheng was hiding in the Yuxian Pavilion in Beiyuan, shivering from the cold
