East of Jingzhao City, there is a place subtly elevated, overseeing a stream, named Longhua.

The temple stands amidst flowing currents, with mist and clouds gathered on both banks.

Longhua Temple thrives with incense offerings, visitors arriving in an endless stream, with carts, people, and horses lined up in succession.

At the foot of the mountain, the carriage stopped, and Ye Zhi, with agile movements, was the first to jump down. She reached out her hand to slowly assist Sister Lu He, afraid she might fall, attending to her as if she were an elderly person.

Lu He lifted the curtain, held onto the carriage frame, and stepped onto the Plum Blossom Stool to alight, placing her other hand on the young girl’s small arm, helplessly saying, "Ah Zhi, don’t treat me like an elderly person. Being pregnant is almost the same as usual. You don’t know; in some poorer families, pregnant women still have to do a lot of work. I’m not that delicate."

Previously in the Zhao Mansion of Feng County, as an unnoticed servant, she had seen too many such examples. How would Ah Zhi know that even when pregnant, one must carry water and work?

The position one is in and the experiences one has are different.

"Sister Lu He, I don’t care about others, but you mustn’t slip up, or else my mother will blame me for not taking good care of you, hehe." Ye Zhi said with a smile the next moment.

After stabilizing her.

Ming Yan was already following behind.

They dismissed the coachman, telling him to come back in half an hour. The three young ladies slowly stepped onto the secluded path, heading towards the mountain peak’s Longhua Temple.

Ye Zhi wasn’t someone who could sit still. In no time, she was bouncing here and jumping there, very lively~

Soon, they saw the Longhua Temple plaque gilded with gold.

Upon stepping into the temple entrance, they were met with an age-old, lush banyan tree, its roots firmly embedded in the earth, with numerous birds chirping and circling through its branches above!

The three crossed the temple’s steps, passed by the curved corridor beneath eaves, and walked straight towards the Great Hall.

Their goal was clear: they came to worship Buddha.

The temple environment was serene, with birdsong like orioles ringing through the temple.

Inside the Great Hall, lit incense smoke rose spiraling upwards, and many worshippers were already in the hall, kneeling and praying devoutly, finishing one after another...

Ye Zhi and Lu He knelt on the prayer mats, murmuring words.

The former undoubtedly prayed for the Little Traitor to ascend smoothly, prosper in officialdom, and prevent villains from succeeding.

The latter mainly prayed for the safe birth of the baby in her womb, health and growth, along with a few good words for Zhao Jun.

Ming Yan did not enter but stood at the door of the hall, covering her face with her hands, occasionally looking around to see if Master Zhi Chen would suddenly appear. Her sneaky manner even seemed a bit suspicious~

In the end, when Ye Zhi and Lu He came out, Ming Yan still hadn’t seen Master Zhi Chen, feeling both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

Ye Zhi naturally noticed her disappointment, gently waving a handkerchief before her with a teasing tone: "Oh, how come you didn’t see Master Zhi Chen? Could it be he has returned to secular life?"

Ming Yan, already disappointed, was alarmed by this comment.

Suspiciously looking at her young mistress.

Could it be? Could it be? Could it be?

To be honest, it had been a long time since she inquired about Master Zhi Chen’s whereabouts.

Just as Ye Zhi was about to tease the maidservant further, she caught a glimpse of a familiar apricot yellow figure from the corner of her eye.

Is that Liu Qingxi? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

For some reason, the heroine was wearing apricot yellow clothes today, no longer portraying the red-dressed bride style. Perhaps age had allowed her to let go~

Wherever the heroine is, there are bound to be stirrings, ten to one. It’s necessary to follow and see, maybe there are new discoveries.
