Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

The Master Qingyuan respectfully held a bowl of tea to Li Wei, and said: "Queen dowager, this is Lu'an tea this year. I know you like to drink it. I keep it specially for you. Please taste it."

Li Wei reached out and took the tea and nodded in thanks with a smile.

She gently shook the foam, took a sip, nodded and said in praise: "It really is good tea."

The subject of Qingyuan Guan said with a smile: "I have long been expecting the Queen Mother to come and drink this tea, and finally I am looking forward to you."

Li Wei said: "Remember the steamed buns you made in Guanli. I also asked the people in the Imperial Dining Room to do it twice according to the method you said. I always feel that there is a difference in taste. I still like what you made in Guanli."

The Master Qingyuan said: "Our monks have nothing to do with these things. It is rare for the queen mother to like it."

"It's because your monks have a quiet mind and treat food more sincerely, so what you make is more pure."

Li Wei asked about the harvest of Sanqingguan again.

Sanqing Temple is a Taoist temple belonging to the royal family. It has been cultivated magnificent and magnificent. It usually has a lot of incense and has a lot of fields. There are two shops in the city. Whether it is a field or a shop, all are tax-free. Life flies well. Guanzhu Qingyuan said again: "Two days ago, I heard that the nine princesses were seriously ill. Pang Dao asked for a magic talisman in front of the old gentleman. When the princess arrived, he gave this talisman to the princess to wear."

As he said, there was a little boy holding a square plate filled with lacquer. In the square plate was a red paper bag. Inside the paper bag was the magic talisman.

Li Wei hurriedly got up and said, "The Immeasurable Tianzun." She took Fu and put it in a purse that Shu Jia often wears.

Sanqingguan is located on the hillside of Lishan Mountain. It is shaded by green trees and is full of scenery. In summer, the temperature here is obviously several degrees cooler than the palace, so it is also a royal summer resort. From Empress Long to Empress Sheng, it took a few days to stay here after several dynasties.

Li Wei also likes the quietness in the mountains, not so many people and affairs, not so many worldly thoughts. Here you can unite with nature and return to nature.

Li Wei led Princess Ning and the two princesses to follow Taoist rituals and listen to the master's explanation of Taoist classics. I can also learn some wisdom that is not known from books.

The ritual started the next morning. The incense altar was set up early in Guanzhong. Guanzhu Qingyuan was wearing an apricot gossip robe, wagging a bell in one hand and a peach sword in the other, chanting obscure spells in his mouth.

Li Wei held the incense in front of the gods and prayed to the gods for a year of good weather and prosperity for the country and the people. In fact, she also wanted to pray privately to return to that highly developed era, but she knew in her heart that she and Zhao Qian were not originally from that era, and they were destined not to return. Her wish also became single.

The memorial service lasts for three days, and the fast is after the morning memorial service. Li Wei asked Shujia to taste the steamed buns in Taoist temple. Shujia was already in love with the steamed buns here. She ate two of them in succession. When she wanted to eat more, the nurse was a little blocked. Li Wei grabbed one from the plate and gave it to Shujia. Said: "In the past few days, you ran in and out. The consumption is fast. It doesn't matter if you eat more, it can be digested."

The nurse left Shujia.

Although it is a simple vegetarian dish, everyone ate it happily. The potherb mustard made in Taoist temple does not have the slight astringency, and tastes more salty. Even the buns made with purslane as fillings are also unique.

After eating and sitting for a while, Li Wei asked the nurse to take Shujia to rest. Li Xing was by his side.

"Queen Mother, can I also go to the hot springs here later?"

In addition to the Royal Taoist Temple of Sanqing, where you can study Taoism and nature, there is also a royal garden in the Lishan Mountain. There is a fragrant soup in the garden, which is private and will not be trespassed by outsiders.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Of course, I will ask you to choose a better bathing pool. You can soak for as long as you want. However, the water temperature here is relatively high. You have to pay attention to replenishing water, and it is not suitable to soak for too long at a time. , Otherwise it’s easy to get dizzy, and you will come out soon to get some breath."

Li Xing smiled and nodded and said, "It's my sister, who is very familiar with this place. I will listen to you."

In the past, I also opened a hot spring hotel, and I have long been used to hot springs. After Li Wei came back, when he was tired, he really missed the pools at home. Nowadays, it's hard to come to Lishan Mountain, so naturally I have to take a dip.

Li Wei planned to take a nap, and then go to the pool when he woke up from the nap, but Li Xing couldn't wait, and he greeted the maid and left after preparing. There is such a younger sister beside Li Wei now, so she can go.

Lan Hui put down the tent, put a handful of benzoin in the incense burner, and ordered the people to stay at his command.

Li Wei lay on the Furong Zong, fainted to sleep. She dreamed of the day in February of the eleventh year of Xikang that she was carefully dressed up by her family that day, and then she was stuffed into the sedan chair. The sixth brother rode a horse by the sedan chair, escorting her all the way. Go in the direction of the palace. The sun was very good, the sun was a bit dazzling, and I don’t know how long it took. The sedan chair finally fell. Someone lifted the sedan chair and asked her to get off.

"Awei, come with me."

She didn't have a veil on her head, and at a glance she saw the white-skinned man in front of her who was very tall and born in a big red python robe. The man stretched out his hand to her, but she dared not pass it up.

Li Wei called out in a daze, "Master, where are you taking me?"

"Where else can we go, we will go to court and get married."

"No, no, let me go, you made a mistake, you made a mistake!" Li Wei woke up screaming, she opened her eyes, sweat on her forehead, and the room was still bright.

She remembered the scene in her dream, and her chest jumped faster and faster. Li Wei didn't dare to sleep anymore, she sat up slowly, and called people to come in and serve.

It was Haruka who promised to come in.

Qingxiang stood in front of the bed, reporting to Li Wei through the tent, "The Queen Mother, the regent is here."

Li Wei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What is he here for?"

"The prince said he has important matters to report."

"..." Li Wei rubbed his forehead and said with a long sigh of relief: "I see, please wait first."

Lan Hui was about to comb a simple hair bun with her and put on a black silver hairpin. He put a small flower ball of jasmine string on the sideburn with Li Wei.

Li Wei stretched out his hand to pull it: "What kind of flower to wear, it's not good."

Lan Hui said, "It's not a gorgeous flower. It doesn't get in the way. The queen mother said that you have a headache these past two days. Doctor Lu said that the scent of jasmine can relieve some pain."

When Li Wei heard that, he gave up.

She washed her face, changed her clothes again, and then went to see Zhao Qian in the front side hall.
