After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Chapter 26 Arrangement of rituals to exorcise evil spirits

"I am the abbot of Baolian Temple, with the Buddhist name Jingyuan. I come to see His Majesty and wish you good health and great fortune!"

Abbot Jingyuan bowed respectfully to the emperor. It was the first time she saw the emperor in person, and she couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness in her heart.

"Excuse me, Abbot Jingyuan, please stand up quickly." The emperor hoped that Jingyuan could take Zhen Huan to Baolian Temple to pray for blessings as soon as possible, because he had delayed the matter he promised Chun Yuan for a long time and felt very guilty.

Standing up, Abbot Jingyuan bowed his head and waited quietly for the emperor's instructions.

After a while, the emperor said, "Abbot Jingyuan, I believe that the Imperial Observatory's Zhou Zhengshi has already told you everything that happened in my palace, right?"

Abbot Jingyuan quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou Zhengshi has informed me of this matter."

The emperor nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then ordered in a serious tone: "In this case, I order you to eliminate the evil spirits in the palace within three days and restore peace and tranquility to the palace!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Abbot Jingyuan clasped his hands together and responded loudly: "Thanks to your majesty's love and trust, I will do my best to live up to your expectations!"

"After the matter is accomplished, I will not treat you unfairly. I will allocate 200,000 taels of silver to renovate the Baolian Temple and make it look brand new!" The emperor looked at Abbot Jingyuan with a firm gaze.

When Abbot Jingyuan heard this, he was very excited.

She knew very well what this money meant to Po Lin Monastery - the temple could be fully renovated and expanded, and its popularity would increase.

Abbot Jingyuan was filled with gratitude and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, as if blessed by heaven. On behalf of the Po Lin Monastery, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty! I will pray devoutly in front of the Bodhisattva, praying for Your Majesty's health, peace and prosperity, and may the Buddha bless our dynasty with good weather and prosperity!"

The emperor smiled and nodded to show his satisfaction.

"Don't thank me yet. You all go down first. I have something private to discuss with Abbot Jingyuan."

Everyone left, leaving only Abbot Jingyuan in the hall waiting for the emperor's instructions. After Su Peisheng left, he carefully closed the door.

The emperor said slowly, "I asked you to eliminate the evil spirits for only one reason. The second reason is that the official history of the Imperial Observatory has also told you that I will send a concubine who is pregnant with my heir to your Baolian Temple to chant sutras and pray for me."

"Yes, I have heard what Lord Zhou said. I will definitely protect the safety of this concubine and take good care of her." Abbot Jingyuan promised.

"The third is that I will send my beloved concubine, Concubine Wan, to Baolian Temple this time. Concubine Wan will not only pray for me, but also recite scriptures and pray for my late Empress Chunyuan. The matter of praying for Empress Chunyuan must not be made public. You only need to properly arrange everything for Concubine Wan in Baolian Temple. Do you understand?" The emperor stared at Abbot Jingyuan with a serious look.

"I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will live up to your high expectations."

Abbot Jingyuan knew very well that the reason the emperor left her alone to talk was that he did not want anyone to know about Queen Chunyuan. She also understood the position of Queen Chunyuan in the emperor's heart, so she dared not say anything more.

"There is one more thing. I really can't understand why my Queen Chunyuan was chosen to be in your Baolian Temple?" The emperor's suspicion began again.

Baolian Temple is thousands of miles away from the capital, almost close to the north. How could Chunyuan's soul end up there?

Abbot Jingyuan had already prepared an explanation in his mind, and he explained softly, "Your Majesty, although the Precious Lotus Monastery is located in a remote place, it is full of spiritual energy and has profound Buddhist teachings. Perhaps the soul of Queen Chunyuan felt the power of compassion here, so she chose to settle here. Or maybe she has a special fate with the Precious Lotus Monastery, so she was led to the Precious Lotus Monastery."

The emperor frowned slightly, still seeming to have doubts.

Abbot Jingyuan saw this and continued, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Empress Chunyuan's spirit must be hoping to find a quiet place in heaven. Baolian Monastery just meets this condition. We and Lady Wan will do our best to chant sutras for her to comfort her spirit in heaven."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, his expression slightly softened.

"Well, in that case, I'll have to trouble Abbot Jingyuan. Please ensure the safety and comfort of Lady Wan in the temple, and also keep the matter of Queen Chunyuan a secret."

"As you command, Your Majesty." Abbot Jingyuan bowed his head in response.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that she was well prepared and had successfully responded to the emperor's questions.

The emperor ordered people to arrange a villa for Abbot Jingyuan to stay temporarily. For the next three days, she devoted herself to conducting rituals and performing exorcism ceremonies in various palaces.

At this time, the sun gradually set, the sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, and dinner time was approaching.

The emperor was filled with mixed feelings, and was reluctant to let Zhen Huan go to Baolian Temple. However, for the sake of Queen Chunyuan, he still resolutely decided to send Zhen Huan.

During these last three days, the Emperor wanted to do his best to spend more time with Zhen Huan and cherish the time he spent with her.

So he planned to accompany Zhen Huan for dinner, and ordered Su Peisheng beside him: "Su Peisheng, prepare the Suiyu Pavilion."

However, at this moment, Su Peisheng's expression seemed a little embarrassed, and his words became a little labored:

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here. She said she would have dinner with you." Upon hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but frown slightly, but then he regained his composure.

He could only change his words and say, "Let the queen come in."

The queen slowly walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with Jianqiu beside her carrying a food box.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Today I have specially stewed duck soup for you to nourish your body." The Queen bowed slightly and spoke in a gentle tone.

The queen was dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe, with a graceful figure, and her every move exuded nobility and elegance.

Not long after, the meals in the imperial kitchen were prepared and served one after another.

The queen ordered Jianqiu to bring the duck soup she brought to the table.

"Jianqiu, serve the emperor some food." The queen said in a gentle voice.

The emperor ate his meal, chatting with the queen from time to time. When he picked up the bowl of duck soup stewed by the queen, he found it delicious.

"Hmm...the Queen's cooking skills have improved again." The Emperor took a sip and praised.

The queen was delighted to hear the emperor's praise and said, "As long as the emperor likes it, I have stewed this duck soup for a long time and added many precious medicinal materials. It tastes delicious."

"Alas!" The emperor sighed again and said, "Now that you are the queen, let the servants do the kitchen work to save them the trouble."

Hearing the emperor say this, the queen felt a little lonely.

But she said calmly, "Although I am the queen, I am also the emperor's wife. As a wife, how can I feel tired serving my husband?"

"Ah~~~This soup is very tasty, Jianqiu." The emperor handed the jade bowl to Jianqiu, motioning her to serve him another bowl of soup.

The queen immediately took up her position, stopped Jianqiu's hand from serving the soup, and said in a gentle voice:

"Your Majesty, our ancestors' rule is that you can't eat more than three times. This duck soup is delicious, but this is the third bowl. If you eat more, I'm afraid this dish won't be on the table for ten days or half a month."

"Thank goodness the Queen reminded me." The Emperor's tone turned cold.

"Only by being impartial and knowing how to exercise moderation can a relationship last long." The queen still spoke gently and generously, but in the emperor's mind, she was "teaching him how to do things."

"Food is like this, people's minds are like this, that's what you want to say." The emperor was furious and did not hesitate to expose the queen's thoughts.

Seeing that the emperor was already somewhat unhappy, the queen picked up another dish beside her and put it into the emperor's bowl and said, "Your Majesty likes this dish, please have some more."

The emperor replied coldly: "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping."

The Queen said no more, and the Emperor lost interest in eating anymore.

The emperor was not happy with the meal. The queen was so distracted that she couldn't even stop herself from eating, which made the emperor very annoyed.

Soon someone was asked to clear the food from the table.

The Emperor saw that the Empress did not seem to be about to leave, at which moment the eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang came in carrying a bunch of signs.

After entering, he knelt down, held up the sign, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please turn over the sign."

The emperor curled his lips and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by the queen.
