"Is it necessary? The Temple is far away? Also, your feet will bruise badly." Ying Lili was not ready to go with Sheng Li to the temple.
"I have told the Lord Buddha that if we both get blessed with a baby boy and a girl, then I will carry you in my arms bare feet to the temple. I cannot take back my words," Sheng Li pronounced and looked at Yīnghuā and Lóng Jingguo, who was sleeping peacefully on the swings.
"Father and mother will return soon," Sheng Li told them and turned to look at Court Lady Xu. "Don't let your eyes get away even for a second. Xing-Fu, stay here and assist Court Lady Xu," he commanded them, and the two bowed.
Sheng Li held Ying Lili's hand and brought her out of the chamber.
"Sheng Li, it's early summertime. Your feet will be wounded badly. I don't want it." Ying Lili still wasn't ready to go to the Buddhist temple.
