Chapter 1036: Chapter 1034_1

Although today was the first day of the month, there was not a single worshipper in sight. Then Xiao'er noticed a signboard standing by the mountain trail, reading that the Guanyin Temple was closed to the public today due to the visit of an honored guest.

It seemed that the Empress Dowager had arranged everything well in advance.

Indeed, when nobles venture out, what a crowd they draw! It's better for a person of such high status and position as the Empress Dowager to stay inside more often! Otherwise, the common people won't have a day of peace! They'll only be busy avoiding any improprieties! Xiao'er couldn't help but vent her feelings silently.

The Empress Dowager, having injured her foot and thus unable to walk, was carried up to the Guanyin Temple in a sedan chair by two eunuchs.
