Chapter 554: What Was The Background Of This Monk Called Qing Ci?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Qian thought, “What was the background of this monk called Qing Ci who seemed to be cherished by both the Empress Dowager and Empress?”
Su Qian didn’t ask rashly. Instead, she followed the Empress and the Empress Dowager into the temple.
There were two courtyards in the backyard of the temple, which were divided into the Heavenly Zen Court and the Kindness Court. The men lived in the Heavenly Zen Court, while the women went to the Kindness Court.
The two courtyards were separated by a serene path, surrounded by tranquility without appearing desolate.
After arriving at the residence, Nanny Jin was responsible for arranging the rooms.
The Empress Dowager’s room was naturally the best, and the second-best room was given to Su Qian.
Despite the seemingly murderous glares from the other ladies, Su Qian, didn’t want to be so high-profile, so she rejected, “Empress Dowager, how can I be ahead of all the other concubines? Please find another room for me.”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she had a look of disapproval on her face. She raised her hand and patted Su Qian’s small hand as she said, “You don’t have to reject me. I like you, and the Empress and the others won’t have any objections to you.”
When the Empress heard this, the muscles at the corners of her lips twitched momentarily. Then, she hurriedly smiled and came forward. “Imperial Mother is right. It’s rare for Imperial Mother to like Miss Su so much. It’s good to live a little closer.”
The moment the Empress spoke, the other concubines were unwilling to be outdone. One after another, they spoke in agreement.
When the other ladies saw this scene, they lowered their heads and hid the dissatisfaction in their eyes, hiding it in their hearts.
Seeing how determined the Empress Dowager was, Su Qian had no choice but to agree.
After Nanny Jin had allocated the rooms, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Ye Liuguang had also been called away just now. This time, Su Qian only brought Qian Rong along and handed her luggage to her.
Unexpectedly, before Qian Rong could arrange the belongings, the Empress Dowager next door called the two children to eat snacks.
Considering that the two children must be hungry after climbing so many stairs, Su Qian sent the two children to the Empress Dowager’s room.
Despite declining the Empress Dowager’s offer to join for snacks, Su Qian swiftly found an excuse and left.
Nanny Jin was in charge of sending Su Qian out. Su Qian took this opportunity to ask, “I have something I’d like to ask. Is it convenient for you?”
When Nanny Jin heard this, she quickly said, “Miss Su, you’re too polite. Feel free to ask anything. As long as I know, I will definitely answer your questions.” “Thank you, Nanny. I want to ask, who is Master Qing Ci? It feels like both the Empress and the Empress Dowager are quite concerned about him?” Su Qian asked.
Hearing this, Nanny Jin understood. “Miss Su, you haven’t been back for many years. So it’s understandable that you don’t know. In fact, Master Qing Ci is the eldest prince born to the Empress. Five years ago, there was a sudden drought in the Heaven Fire Kingdom, and the First Prince took the initiative to enter the temple to pray for the country. The Empress and Empress Dowager both miss the First Prince, so they naturally wanted to take this opportunity to see how their beloved First Prince was doing.”
“A prince of a country actually entered a temple to shave his hair and become a monk to cultivate?” Su Qian narrowed her eyes in surprise.
The First Prince was the Empress’s biological son but also the legitimate firstborn. With such status, he should have been the unquestionable choice for the Crown Prince. Moreover, even if the First Prince didn’t have the ident.i.ty of a legitimate status, he was still a prince of a country.. Why would the Emperor agree to him shaving his hair and cultivating?
