Li Wenli drew several diagrams of wooden boxes for them, asking them to craft the boxes whenever they had time.
The crowd stared at these square wooden boxes, unsure of their purpose for a while.
Bai Junjun, beautifying the name, called it the home of bees and said in the future they would start a beekeeping farm.
"???" Everyone was baffled.
A beekeeping farm? Could bees actually be farmed?
Bai Junjun nodded confidently and said, "Just make them, they’ll be of great use in the future."
Since Bai Junjun had said so, what more could they say?
Thus, Ah Dao, with Xiao Chan and Smiling Face, went out to buy wood, while Bai Sasa studied the diagrams, and Old Monk, Rabbit, and Xiao Yu took the chance to weed the garden when they had time.
The people of the Bai Residence were bustling with activity, and neither Bai Junjun nor Li Wenli were idle.
The two of them took the horse carriage sent by Wenren Pingting and headed to Fahua Temple.
Fahua Temple was located in the western suburbs of the Imperial Capital and had a history of over two thousand years, producing many esteemed and virtuous monks since ancient times.
It was said that its Stupa was akin to a sea of forests.
Only the relics of esteemed and virtuous monks had the chance to be placed into the Stupa.
And since the relics had formed a Pagoda Forest, one could imagine how ancient this place was.
Although the State Religion was the Witch God Sect, this temple managed to break through against the odds, a truly rare feat.
Lame Man Uncle had entered posing as a pilgrim, and under the cover of a moonless, windy night, he secretly entered the Underground Palace of Fahua Temple through a hidden passage in the Pagoda Forest and placed the scroll about the hardships of farming there.
Truly, Lame Man Uncle would never have imagined that one day Fahua Temple would become a royal garden, and the scroll about the hardships of farming that he left here would become a scroll he might not be able to retrieve.
When the two arrived at Fahua Temple in their carriage, they discovered that there was already a luxurious carriage parked at the entrance of the temple, bearing the royal crest upon closer inspection.
Bai Junjun found this strange but then saw Dian Hong alight from the carriage.
Bai Junjun was taken aback.
Could it be that Wenren Pingting was also here today?
Just as Bai Junjun was mulling over this, Wenren Pingting indeed came out from inside.
When she saw Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, she just nodded slightly by way of greeting.
Awaiting at the foot of the mountain, a Congregation of Monks immediately greeted Wenren Pingting with loud voices upon her appearance.
"Amitabha, the Princess Consort graces us; I am ashamed for not welcoming you from afar," said an Abbot, resembling a dumpling.
At this moment, he led the Congregation of Monks at the entrance to receive the most revered woman in the Imperial Capital.
Wenren Pingting, in her plain white attire, bowed deeply before the Abbot.
"Don’t say that, Abbot. It is I who have intruded upon you again," she said.
"The Princess Consort’s kindness touches the heavens; there’s no intrusion at all. We have prepared a palanquin for you, please, Princess, come this way," the Abbot said, stepping aside to reveal a saffron palanquin behind them.
Wenren Pingting nodded and confidently made her way over. Once seated, the guards who accompanied her voluntarily lifted the palanquin, and then the grand procession of the royal entourage began to move toward the mountain.
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli naturally followed, but when they tried to enter, they were stopped by a novice monk.
"Hold on, who are these people mixing into the procession?"
"..." Bai Junjun gave him a speechless look, "Didn’t you see we came with the Princess Consort?"
"I may not be good at many things, but I have a talent for recognizing people, hence I’ve been specifically assigned to guard the entrance. I have never seen you in the Princess Consort’s entourage," the novice monk replied earnestly.
Bai Junjun then realized just how strict Fahua Temple was; she thought they could sneak in, but they encountered a human facial recognition system.
Bai Junjun reluctantly took out her waist badge, and the commotion finally caught the attention of those at the front.
