Han Wenji turned towards the Monks and apologized to them. "Your majesty, we shall go to the shrine and give greetings to the Lord Buddha," the Chief Monk said.
Han Wenji looked at the Empress and told her to come along with him. The three monks climbed the stairs, followed by the Emperor and Empress, Noble Consorts, and the Concubine.
The others also climbed the stairs except for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. "You shall go. Forgive me for hurting my foot," Ying Lili told the Crown Prince, who had his arm wrapped around Ying Lili's waist.
"I don't listen to anyone. I make my own rules," Sheng Li asserted as he peered into the eyes of Ying Lili. "I am going to be a bit shameless."
Ying Lili drew her brows together, but before she could understand what the Crown Prince tried to say, he lifted her in his muscular arms. "Now, we can also seek the blessings of Lord Buddha," Sheng Li pronounced, with a tiny smile on his lips.
