Although Liu Ruer was unwilling, he followed He Jinlan in the car to Tai An Temple.

Along the way, Liu Ruer was like a bird releasing a cage. No matter how one looked at it, it was not enough.

"Second Miss has probably stayed at home for too long. Look at how thin this person has gotten." Xia Gu looked at Liu Ruer and said somewhat dotingly.

"Of course, I haven't been out for a long time!" Hearing that, Liu Ruer immediately pouted and complained, "It's been a long time since I've played with my cousins!"

Speaking to this point, Liu Ruer couldn't help but think of Xiahou Qi. He didn't know if Big Brother Qi had woken up yet, or if his body was still recovering.

Now that she had recovered and been released, she could go to the palace and visit Qi gege!

"Play, play. You only know how to play, so it's about time you practice your Lil 'Red and those zither music, calligraphy and painting." He Jinlan listened by the side and could not help but shake his head, "You are our Prime Minister's Estate's young miss, if you were to spread the news that you are not proficient in everything, wouldn't that cause your father to lose face?"

Liu Ruer was He Jinlan's first child, so she naturally had to be more fond of him. On top of that, Liu Ruer's mouth was sweet, so he would come for her, thus he had always been kind to her. All he knew was that Liu Ruer only knew how to play around.

"Hmph, mother only knows how to make a girl red. Ruo'er is still young." Hearing that, Liu Ruer pouted his lips and said unhappily.

She was still young, so she would learn again in the future.

"Still young? Ru Er is already fourteen, so it won't be long before she can be betrothed to him! " Hearing that, He Jinlan shook his head in amusement, and joked, "Recently, there have been a lot of red ladies knocking on my door, I, too, have started to help you find a husband."

"Mother, you only know how to tease Ru'er. Ru'er is still young, so Ru'er won't marry her!" Hearing that, Xiahou Qi's face slowly surfaced in his mind, shy to the point that it turned red, as he muttered to himself, "Even if we are to marry, Ru'Er will definitely marry Qi gege!"

"Ru'er, what did you say?" He Jinlan did not hear it clearly and asked.

"There's no mother. It's just that Ru'er doesn't want to get married. Ru'er wants to stay by mother's side." Liu Ruer said in a spoiled manner as he hugged He Jinlan.

"Ru'er's words can't be listened to by outsiders. As a daughter, sooner or later she'll have to marry." He Jinlan stroked Liu Ruer's hair and said.

"Right, mother, even if we are to marry, it should be that lowly bastard Liu Xinyue who married first." Suddenly, Liu Ruer thought of Liu Xinyue, and raised his head to say: "Mother, tell me, what kind of family would you arrange for Liu Xinyue, that bitch, to live in? Is it the farmer or the bartender? "

"Hahaha, that bastard Liu Xinyue wants to become the big miss of Prime Minister's Estate, dream on!"

As he said that, as if he saw Liu Xinyue's miserable future, Liu Ruer began to laugh loudly.

"Ru'er, I want to arrange a 'good family' for that bitch Liu Xinyue. It's a pity that she's already engaged!" He Jinlan also could not bear to see Liu Xinyue being like this, he thought that he was just a little bug that could turn the sky upside down, that could die just by stepping on it.

It seemed like it was time to get her under his nose so that no mishap would happen!

"What?" That bastard even had an engagement? With whom? " Liu Ruer was startled, and anxiously asked.

Why had she never heard of this before?

"I even overheard the lord saying that it was an engagement with the present Ninth Prince." He Jinlan said in a low voice, his tone more likely to be dissatisfied.

The current Ninth Prince was the favorite of the emperor and also the default of the invisible crown prince. He was equivalent to the future emperor!

Such a good husband choice, how could he have an engagement with that Liu Xinyue bastard?

This was too illogical!

"Ninth Prince? Qi gege? " Liu Ruer was thoroughly dumbfounded, "How can this be …"

How could Big Brother Qi have an engagement with that bastard Liu Xinyue?

Why had Zee never mentioned it to her?

Didn't they say that they would always be together and that Qi gege would still marry her as his first wife?!

"Mother, did you hear wrongly? How could Qi gege have an engagement with that bastard?! " If he had an engagement with someone else, that would be fine. But how could Xiahou Qi have an engagement with someone else?

Liu Ruer expressed that he could not accept this!

Seeing Liu Ruer in a daze, looking as if he had deep feelings for her, He Jinlan had some guesses in her heart, but she did not say anything to stop him. Instead, she was happy to see this kind of scene.

If her daughter became the principal wife of the Ninth Prince, then the Queen would come from the Liu Family, and she would be the Empress' mother.

"Ru'er, don't worry. Although Ninth Prince and that bastard are engaged, do you think that Ninth Prince will obediently marry her?" He Jinlan had also heard of what kind of person the Ninth Prince Xiahou Qi was, and one of them was that he was not bound by it.

This kind of marriage, for an arrogant and uninhibited person like Xiahou Qi, was something that he would definitely not accept.

"Mother is right. Ru'er has a bad memory." Hearing that, Liu Ruer felt that it was logical, and after getting along with Xiahou Qi, they could be considered to understand each other.

"But mother, what if that bastard Liu Xinyue threatened us with marriage?" He wasn't afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Who is that Liu Xinyue? Just a lowly bastard with no power or influence, who exactly can his biological father use to threaten him, even if it means he doesn't care whether he lives or dies? " He Jinlan did not think much of it, and seemed to have thought of something, he added, "Besides, I seem to have listened to your father's words, and also want to annul the engagement."

After all, the marriage contract still had to be given to someone whose Prime Minister's Estate were useful to them!

Liu Ruer did not speak anymore, and started thinking while looking out the window.

While they were talking, the carriage had arrived outside the temple of Tai An Temple.

"Madam, Second Miss, we have arrived at Tai An Temple."

Xia Gu was the first to get off the horse carriage. He put down the footstool and bent his body, holding He Jinlan and Liu Ruer's hand to allow the two people off.

The carriage actually stopped not outside the temple of Taishan, but on its 100-storey staircase.

This was a rule of the Temple of Tai An. No matter who it was, even if the Emperor came, he would still have to climb the stairs from the 100th floor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enter the temple.

At first, there were many people who were unconvinced. However, later on, the Emperor personally issued an order, and only then did they settle down.

"Madam, Second Miss, this way please."

The Temple of Tai An was the most famous temple in the capital due to the reverence of the emperor. Every day, there would be an endless stream of people coming to pay homage to pray for the incense.

Xia Gu found an empty space to open up a path for He Jinlan and Liu Ruer.

Along the way, they also met many familiar faces.

"Aunt He is here too."

"Has Aunt He come because she heard about the opening ceremony of the Wise Master?"

"So it's Madam Wang. I haven't seen you for a few days. Today, I've brought my daughter here to repay your wish."

"Oh? This is your daughter. She really is outstanding. "

"No, no. Lady Wang, you flatter me."

While chatting and laughing, He Jinlan and Lady Wang slowly walked away, while Liu Ruer took advantage of the moment of inattention to slip away like a wisp of smoke.
