Text 154: Incense burning at Yuquan Temple (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the first day of the eighth lunar month, every year at this time, unless there is a special reason, Wen Wan would normally go to Yuquan Temple to offer incense to her princess.  This year is no exception.

    Wen Wan told the emperor the night before, "Grandpa, I will go to Yuquan Temple tomorrow to offer incense to my mother. By the way, I also ask the Bodhisattva to bless my grandpa with good health and a long life."

    The emperor knew that since Wen Wan came back, he would go to Yuquan Temple to offer incense to Fu Hui every year on this day, and he would personally light a lantern for Fu Hui there.  Wen Wan also lives on the birthday of her mother because her birthday is the anniversary of her mother's death.

    Since coming back to now, Wen Wan has not celebrated a birthday (that is because Wen Wan thinks that the birthday is not her own and is embarrassed to celebrate it).  The emperor couldn't defeat her.  Just make a bowl of longevity noodles for her on this day every year.  The emperor's filial piety towards Wen Wan gained another layer of tenderness.

    Wen Wan told the emperor to bring more guards with him.  Nowadays, it is no exaggeration to say that Wen Wan is frightened. There must be many people around to protect her.

    The emperor promised to give her forty guards, but Wen Wan thought it was too few.  The emperor smiled and scolded: "You are just offering incense. Forty guards are enough. There are also Xia Yao and Wuxing around." In fact, the emperor did not think anyone would assassinate Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan was unwilling, so she asked the emperor to bring more: "Grandpa, two hundred, two hundred internal guards, okay?" In the capital, it doesn't matter if there aren't many guards around you.  Because there are always officers and soldiers on patrol.  The guards around her are all first-rate masters.  There will definitely be no problem if you drag someone to rescue you.  But going to burn incense is such a long distance.  If anything happens, the sky will be dark and the earth will not work.

    The emperor smiled and scolded: "You let the imperial guards be like cabbage and radish. One hour is one hundred and two hundred. Well, I will give you sixty imperial guards. What are you afraid of? There are still people who dare to take advantage of you after eating the ambitious leopard?"

    Wen Wan kept grinding and grinding. The emperor said sixty would be sixty. Wen Wan was very depressed, super depressed.  She thought she could grind for a hundred!  Unexpectedly, it only reached sixty.  Too little.

    Xia Yao knew that Wen Wan was afraid of assassins, so she smiled and said: "Princess, you don't have to worry. There is a military camp not far from the foot of Yuquan Mountain. If anything happens like you said, I will go find them. Let them send soldiers out to protect the princess.  ¡±

    Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao with wide eyes: "Xia Yao, who are you? You can actually mobilize the army?" Not even Uncle Zheng can mobilize the army.  Wen Wan would rather believe that Xia Yao was bluffing her than believe that there is a Buddha beside her.

    Xia Yao's eyes flashed and she asked cheerfully: "The princess wants to know. Of course I will tell the princess."

    Wen Wan looked at him like a cunning fox and said he was not interested.  Wen Wan thought about it and added the four guards, Xia Yao, Xia Ying, and Wuxing.  There were almost seventy people in total, Wen Wan thought, it should be fine.  King Zhao should be mad because he has no gain or loss.  He came to kill her openly.

    Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Qiao dressed up Wen Wan.  Because I am going to a temple, not to attend some banquet.  Wen Wan asked Xia Qinyi to do her hair in a short bun, except for two white lotus-shaped silver gilt flowers on her head.  No other hairstyle is worn on the head.  Wearing a jade white muslin coat and a crescent white dotted skirt underneath, there are a few plain plum blossoms on the clothes.  Apart from the two silver bracelets on her hands, she had no other jewelry on her body.

    Xia Yao and Xia Ying thought it was too plain, but Wen Wan rarely needed to hang so many heavy things on her body, and it was perfumed, so naturally she didn't wear it.  The reason given to the two people is that today is the mother's life sacrifice.  How can you dress up to be rich?  Today I am going to the temple, so it is best to keep the essentials simple.

    Xia Yao still disagreed: "Princess. Even so, you don't want to wear all white. Let's change into another one!" Finally, Wen Wan reluctantly agreed and put on the bright white clothes.  Changed into aqua blue summer shirt.

    Xia Yao was extremely depressed.  Why, because if you look at it like this, people who don't know will definitely think that this is a maid.  A perfect maid.

    Xia Yao tried to persuade her again, but Wen Wan became impatient.  Whatever you do, you must wear beautiful clothes to be a true nobleman.  A true superior does not rely on clothes to set him off.  But the momentum of the person.  Moreover, she was going to burn incense, so why did she wear such rich clothes?  Who should I show it to? Show it to her princess?  Can you see it?

    Wen Wan smiled and said: "Take those two people with you too. Let them dress more luxuriously than me. By the way, the jewelry they wear is more eye-catching than me. If there is an assassin or something, I can run away.  . At the very least, if you kill me, you should be the last one to buy some time."

    Xia Yao has always been a calm person, but after hearing Wen Wan say this again and again, she finally couldn't hide her anger and shouted: "Princess, you can't say something auspicious. My subordinates knew what happened last time and were scared. But,  Don¡¯t curse yourself like this. Don¡¯t keep talking about life and death.¡±

    Wenwan expressed that being careful will make the Wannian Ship??

    Xia Yao is angry.  Xia Ying snickered on the side.  In this world, the princess is the only one who can always make Xia Yao so angry that she vomits blood.

    Wen Wan went into the inner room, took out a plain box, took a few photos, and revealed the contents of the box.  Wen Wan took out a ring and a bracelet, checked them, and then put them on carefully.

    The rings and bracelets were both given by Xia Yao, so there¡¯s a lot of magic in them!  Because in the palace, the emperor had to be massaged from time to time, Wen Wan took off all these dangerous things.  Now when you leave the palace, you should still wear safety.  Since Wen Wan experienced the poisoning incident, she has been cautious in everything.  You only have one life, be careful.

    A group of people went to Yuquan Temple in a big way.  Along the way, everyone they saw gave way automatically (I didn¡¯t meet the prince or anything).

    The two stand-ins stayed on an inconspicuous carriage with Xia Ying.  Except for a few confidants, no one else knew that there was someone hiding in the carriage.

    Wen Wan has been full of frustration with the substitute from the beginning.  I heard that in addition to these two people, Xia Yao also found someone who looked exactly like him.  It's just not needed for the time being, so I'll keep it on a farm.  Wen Wan was puzzled, she looked so ordinary, and she could find several of them just by looking.  If she hadn't had this identity, she would probably have been thrown into a crowd and no one would have recognized her.  Of course, there are advantages to not being recognized.  What Wen Wan is most confused about is that Xia Yao is so desperate, why would she find such a substitute for her.  This made her feel frightened and very uneasy.

    Wenwan walked through a prosperous place and arrived at a sparsely populated place.  Just roll up the car curtain.

    It¡¯s August, the hottest time of the year.  Even if I don't move, I will break out in sweat.  Wen Wan was already afraid of the heat, so now she was driving in the scorching sun. After less than an hour, Wen Wan was still sweating even though there were ice cubes in the car.

    Xia Yao was fanning her next to her. She looked at Xia Yao with a gentle look and said, "Don't fight, it's only going to be hot for a day. Take out two bowls of the frozen mung bean porridge. You and I each  A bowl can also be used to heat it up.¡±

    Yuquan Temple is named after it was built on Yuquan Mountain.  The location is near the top of the mountain, which is no worse than the Huangjue Temple located on the top of the mountain.

    The mountain road is rugged and bumpy.  Even if the carriage Wen Wan made originally was shockproof, it would still be knocked to pieces.  In fact, relatively speaking, Wen Wan hopes she can ride a horse.  Unfortunately, this wish will come true.  No one is allowed.

    At the beginning of noon, the group finally arrived at Yuquan Temple.  In order to show solemnity, Wen Wan got out of the car as soon as she arrived in front of the temple.  However, gentleness is veiled.  Ever since she found out that the man who was scornful of him was Bai Shinian, Wen Wan decided to wear a veil when going out.

    In this regard, Xia Yao thinks Wen Wan is too big and doesn't want outsiders to see her appearance.  In other words, even if you don't show it to outsiders.  But seeing Prince Zheng should be almost the same as seeing the princess!

    For Yuquan Temple, Wenwan is not unfamiliar.

    When I came to this society, I just returned to the Taira family. After sealing himself, the emperor's grandfather came here to light an ever-lasting lamp for the princess. It has been eight years now, and the ever-lasting lamp has never been extinguished.

    Since that time, Wen Wan has come here every year to offer incense to the princess on her birthday (if she has no choice but to come, she must ask her close friends to come), as a sign of her filial piety.  This meeting was different from usual. Usually a few servants came with them, but this time they came with a large group of people.

    The size of Yuquan Temple is second only to Huangjue Temple.  Noble ladies in the capital, for no special reason, always bring their daughters here to offer incense.

    "Happy princess, this old nun is here to say hello to the princess." Master Hui'an, the abbot of Yuquan Temple, came out with dozens of nuns to greet her.  The ostentation is not small.

    Wen Wan¡¯s current status is ranked high in the capital.  No one dares to underestimate her.  When seeing her, everyone is respectful.

    Wenwan asked the abbot to get up very gently.  The abbot, Master Hui'an, was about forty years old. He had a calm face and soft-spoken words. He was very popular with the ladies.  But Wen Wan was not happy. She felt that this Master Hui'an had lost the six pure qualities of a monk.

    "Compared with Master Hui'an, although Abbot Jue Xing of Huangjue Temple is also eloquent, Abbot Jue Xing is very steady. Although he knows that he means to please, he is very comfortable.  No one will ask flattering questions.  But Master Hui'an was a little bit in a hurry.  People with high status have somewhat different attitudes towards people with lower status. Of course, this is just Wen Wan's feeling (mainly because her status has improved at a too high speed, so the difference between before and after is huge).

    "The princess said that the labor master made such a big noise and was really uneasy. It's still the same as usual, no special care is needed." Xia Yao scanned the people beside her.

    "Yes." Master Hui'an didn't say a word at this moment.?

    Wen Wan was surprised.  But I didn¡¯t think much about it.  Because she was too tired from walking, Wenwan took a rest in the wing room before going to worship the Bodhisattva.

    As soon as we sat down, Master Hui'an personally sent us some snacks.  Wenwan asked her to go down and greet other guests.  She rested first and then went to offer incense to her mother.  (To be continued)
