After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

"Chengguo Temple?" A strange thought came to Ning'er's mind. Could it be that he also wanted me to look for him?

Chu Huan explained, "Well, I have an old friend who practices here all year round. You are so young, and you have been frightened so many times that your soul is not stable. Let him bless you a little."

So it was because of this matter. She breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but asked curiously: "Is Lingwei's old friend a monk?"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "That's right."

Ning Er sat up straight at once: "He must be a highly respected master."

Chu Huan put a cloak on her and said, "He is an old monk who is very easy to talk to. When he sees you, he will like you very much."

Ning Er couldn't help but feel a little yearning: "I haven't seen a real monk in the temple yet."

"If you haven't seen a real monk, then you have seen a fake monk?"

She nodded and said, "Yes, there was a funeral in Jingshuifang, and they invited a few Taoist priests and monks to perform rituals. I was young at the time and loved to watch the fun, so I followed behind and watched a few times."

Chu Huan asked her: "Then how do you know he is a fake monk?"

Ning Er whispered, "I saw it with my own eyes. The monk took off his robe and hugged a woman intimately."

Chu Huan laughed all of a sudden: "Damn it, a little girl actually saw such filth. Although in some foreign customs, monks can also marry and have children. But the monk you saw must be a fake monk."

Ning Er glanced at the crabapple-colored peacock-patterned cape on her body and said, "Why are you wearing this?"

Chu Huan lifted the curtain and looked outside: "We are almost there. Dress carefully. You are not feeling well today. Don't be exposed to the night wind."

Ning'er was surprised to realize that the carriage had been traveling for such a long time without her noticing.

About half a quarter of an hour later, she heard two knocks on the door. It was Lu Kui's voice: "Master, Miss, we're here."

Chu Huan turned around and looked at Ning'er. Seeing that she was dressed properly, he nodded and said, "I'll get off the car first and then help you down."

The carriage curtain was lifted. Seeing that it was His Majesty, Lu Kui hurriedly and attentively opened the curtain for him. A sedan chair had already been placed under the carriage. His tone was filled with worry and expectation. He asked in a low voice, "Master, is the girl awake?"

Chu Huan nodded, turned around, carefully held her arm, and personally helped her out of the car.

The cool night wind outside blew on her face, instantly waking her up. The moment Ning'er's feet touched the ground, she felt a little dizzy. Just as she came to her senses, she heard an excited voice: "Girl!"

Ning'er looked carefully and found that it was spring grass.

She almost pounced over, pulled Ning'er and looked her up and down several times, and cried with joy: "Miss, I finally see you! How are you, are you hurt? Are you still dizzy? I was really scared to death!" She started crying as she spoke.

Ning'er hurriedly held her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Look, I'm fine."

Chu Huan turned sideways to block the wind for Ning Er, and reminded her: "Don't let you girls stand in the wind for a long time. If you have anything to say, go inside and talk." He looked at Ning Er with a smile: "Take a look, does this place suit you?"

Ning'er looked up and realized that the carriage had passed through several gates without her noticing and stopped in front of a very elegant courtyard.

After crossing the screen door, you will be greeted by a trellis full of spring flowers. Under the trellis there is a clear pool. Willow branches hang low by the pool, brushing against several mountain rocks. Due to the deep dusk, nothing can be seen clearly, but exquisite lanterns are placed among the flowers and on the rocks in the green shade. The lights are like stars, scattered high and low, and reflected on the green water of the pool.

When the breeze blows, the flowers sway, the willows fly, the stars and candles flicker, it is just like a fairyland.

Chu Huan led Ning'er inside and passed through an octagonal moon gate, which led to a three-sided corridor. Under the corridor hung dozens of half-human-high glass octagonal palace lanterns, shining brightly.

Ning Er saw it and couldn't help but sigh, "This is too extravagant. Just this one candle, even if it wasn't a festival, the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion wouldn't be this extravagant."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "This garden is very large. We are only in a small courtyard. If it is not brighter, won't it scare you? I can still afford the candles."

Ning'er followed Chu Huan around a jade screen. There were three side rooms on the left and right, and five main rooms facing south. A soft crimson and silver curtain hung over the main door, and two pretty maids stood on each side of the door.

Seeing them coming, Chu Huan half-knelt down and opened the curtain. As he walked, he explained to Ning'er, "When I'm not here, you are the only owner here. You can live anywhere and decorate it as you like. If you don't like this yard, when you feel better and have some free time during the day, I'll have someone take you to see other places in the garden."

"It's just that we came here in a hurry today, so we can only stay temporarily in the place I chose. The maids and servants here are all trained, so you just need to order them around. If there are those you like, bring them up, and if there are those you don't like, send them away. Don't put yourself in a difficult position just because you are afraid of bothering others. Do you remember?"

Chu Huan explained every word in great detail, fearing that she would feel wronged since she had just arrived.

Ning Er entered the hall and saw the copper vases, tripods, precious mirrors and other items on the rosewood table. They were all extremely exquisite, luxurious and elegant, even better than those of the Shen and Lin families. She smiled and said, "Ling Wei, I have memorized them all. Is there anything else to choose from here? If I choose more, do I have to live in the Heavenly Palace?"

Chu Huan couldn't help but smile and said, "If you like, you can live in the Heavenly Palace." They entered the small room on the left. Two old men with long beards were standing respectfully beside them. A round-faced boy came up to them, smiled and bowed to Ning'er, and said familiarly, "The girl is here."

He was fair and cute, and looked no more than nine or ten years old. He smiled a little shyly, but acted quite maturely.

Ning Er hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"

Chu Huan took her to sit down and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, you have met his father before."

Ning Er was surprised and asked, "I have seen it before?"

"Yes," Chu Huan said with a smile, "March 3, the day at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. He is Wu Shilu's son, you can call him Jinxin."

"Ah, is it Lord Wu?" Ning'er naturally remembered that very kind-looking Lord, but she didn't expect that he actually had such a big son. "It seems that he is quite similar to his father."

Chu Huan smiled faintly. Wu Shilu was a eunuch, so he was naturally not a devoted biological father. However, when eunuchs chose adopted sons, they would always subconsciously choose children who were similar to themselves. "When you live here, let him serve you. It's convenient for him to come and go. You can tell him if you have anything to do."

Ning Er said with some embarrassment: "He is still so young. Besides, it is not good for Lord Wu's son to serve me."

"What's wrong with that?" Chu Huan said with a smile, "It's his blessing to be able to serve you. He is young, so he will be more comfortable with you after getting along with you for a long time, and he won't bully you. Wu Shilu is my servant. When he heard that I wanted to choose a boy for you to serve, he begged me to bring his son to you. You should accept his filial piety."

Now that it had come to this, Ning Er couldn't refuse any more. She tried to call out, "Jinxin?"
