The Minister of Rites' Mansion of Great Zhou.
Early in the morning, Yan Ruxue had just woken up. As she stepped out of her room, she saw her maid, Xiao Chun, walking toward her with a basin of water.
"You're awake, milady. I was just about to call you to get up and wash." Xiao Chun placed the basin of warm water on the stone table in the courtyard.
"Is something special happening today?"
Yan Ruxue smiled faintly.
Normally, Xiao Chun wouldn't wake her, let alone this early.
"Have you forgotten, milady? The madam said yesterday that she was going to take you to Baideng Temple to pray for blessings."
"Oh, that's right. I'd forgotten about that."
Yan Ruxue recalled that her mother was a devout Buddhist and would often visit Baideng Temple to pray.
Her mother had heard that the Buddhist Nun from Kongnian Temple in the Western Regions, who was traveling the world, had now arrived at Baideng Temple.
