Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 243: Western Tour to Mount Wutai; Concubine Yi's Plan

"You know, everyone in the harem needs to know about this."

Rong Pei nodded: "I understand."

In less than a cup of tea, everyone in the six palaces knew that Hongli had rewarded Ruyi with the newly made osmanthus oil.

Even the rats in the palace knew that Hongli favored Ruyi.

Although some people were unhappy in their hearts, they still had to respect Ruyi as the Empress Dowager on the surface.

The day of the western tour to Mount Wutai arrived in a blink of an eye. The imperial carriage set off from Beijing with a grand procession. Hongli visited the Yellow Temple mainly to worship Buddha.

He paid particular attention to temples such as Bodhisattva Peak, Tailu Temple, and Luohou Temple, generously donating 595 taels of silver to each temple and giving robes to lamas. His rewards were more generous than those of the previous dynasty.

At the same time, he exempted the area from three-tenths of its taxes and levies, reduced the penalties for military prisoners, and gave out one thousand pieces of gold to repair the Shuxiang Temple.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong accompanied Zhen Huan to the palace. After the huge team entered the palace, they camped in the area of ​​Qingshui River under Shancai Cave.

Hongli and Zhen Huan were welcomed by the lamas to Bodhisattva Peak and participated in the ceremony and lectures prepared for the Empress Dowager.

In the next few days, Qianlong accompanied Zhen Huan to visit Bodhisattva Peak, Luohou Temple, Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Shuxiang Temple, and Bishan Temple, and paid homage to the Central, Western, and Eastern Three Platforms.

The sentence "I look at the monastery in the sky, and the sound of the bell comes from above" expresses his joyful mood when touring Mount Wutai.

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "The Emperor is in a good mood. I believe that the peace and prosperity of the country are inseparable from the Emperor's hard work!"

Hongli: "The Empress Dowager praised me. This is what a son should do."

"The late emperor was diligent in his duties. You and your son are exactly the same. However, the emperor must always pay attention to his health."

"I'll remember this, son. Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern."

Zhen Huan nodded.

Late at night, it suddenly started raining.

Ruyi looked at the heavy rain outside the window and suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Did Rong Pei go to see Doctor Jiang today and like him?"

Rong Pei nodded: "I've been there, what's wrong with you, Madam?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little nervous."

Rong Pei said, "The rain is so heavy and it really makes people feel a little down."

In Qixiang Palace, Yipin was holding Yongxuan and reciting a poem. Lan'er came over with a pot of tea and said, "My dear, have some tea."

Concubine Yi put the book down and looked down to see that Yongxuan had already fallen asleep.

She sighed softly: "Oh, it's really frustrating."

Lan Er handed over the teacup: "Master, our little prince is still young, there is no need to rush."

Concubine Yi took a sip of tea and put down the cup. She stood up and put Yongxuan on the bed.

"Yongji is the Queen's precious child. If anything happens to him, will she be killed?"

Lan Er was startled for a moment, then understood what she meant. She asked, "Master, do you want to...deal with Yongji?"

"But he's still a child after all. Isn't this a bad idea?"

Yipin curled her lips into a cold smile: "Humph, who made him the Queen's son?"

"Don't you see? The emperor has high hopes for him and even taught him riding, archery, and calligraphy. If I don't take action, Yongxuan will have no chance of becoming the crown prince."

Li Xin outside the door heard every word she said.

Then she turned and left through the back door.

Sanbao came to report that Li Xin wanted to see him.

Ruyi: "She must have something important to do in such heavy rain. Please come in."

Sanbao leaned over and went out to bring the person in.

Li Xin knelt down to pay her respects to Ruyi.

"Get up! Look at your clothes, they're all wet. What if you catch a cold? Rong Pei, take her to change clothes and come back."
