Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"The King of Zhongshan had a deep friendship with the late emperor and could protect you, but a new emperor chooses new ministers. Now that the King of Zhongshan has passed away, you must be careful with your words."

"The new emperor is not a soft-hearted person."

"The entire family of Huang Zicheng and the entire family of Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing were all taken care of by him."

Master Qingning touched Xu Miaojin's head and advised gently and kindly.

Xu Miaojin nodded, knowing that what Master Qingning said was for her own good and made a lot of sense, so she replied, "Okay, Miaojin will take note."

But she paused.

Still unable to help but clench his fists, he lowered his voice and complained: "Anyway, there is no way I will marry that tyrant. If I jump from here, I will die outside."

Master Qingning patted her head gently.

With a hint of sternness, he said, "You don't remember what you just said, do you? It went in one ear and out the other."

Xu Miaojin curled her lips and chuckled, "Just say this for the last time. I won't say it again. Hehe, I won't say it again."

Master Qingning nodded: "That's right."

After a brief pause, she frowned in hesitation and worry, worrying about Xu Miaojin: "It's just that... you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. You're already twelve years old this year, and you're already at the age to discuss marriage. In two more years, you'll be old enough to get married."

Xu Miaojin pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"I'll hide outside for a while. My eldest brother can't find me, so he can only report that I'm seriously ill. Although my father is gone, my family is under the name of Duke Wei's Mansion, so I guess no one will investigate further."

"Once the new emperor finishes selecting his concubine, this matter will be over."

"Don't worry, Master. I have considered all these~" said Xu Miaojin.

Nun Qingning shook her head and said, "I'm not talking about that. I mean, you're growing up day by day, and you'll have to consider your lifelong affairs. I'm sure your mother would also like to see you get married and have children, to have a loving husband, children around you, and live a happy and fulfilling life."

"Get married and have children...live happily..."

Xu Miaojin was muttering in a daze, as if she had thought of something.

No one knew that at this moment, a white figure with an unparalleled handsome face inexplicably appeared in her mind...

If it were that person... reserved but not arrogant, willing to gently say "he just didn't notice" when he was wrong, he could discuss classics and history with her, or just share street jokes with her—Tong Yun...

Thinking like this.

It seemed as if the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves in my ears had become farther away.

When Master Qingning saw Xu Miaojin suddenly become stunned and stopped talking, she felt strange for a moment and frowned and asked, "Miaojin? What are you thinking about?"

I heard the voice of Master Qingning.

Xu Miaojin's thoughts were immediately pulled back, and when she came to her senses, two faint red clouds suddenly appeared on her pretty little face.

Xu Miaojin suddenly showed a subtle look of embarrassment.

He said with a hint of panic: "No, I didn't think anything."

Then, he explained, as if trying to cover up his mistake, "Since...since my elder brother has already gone back, I will also return to the meditation room at Jingyue Temple. Master, you should also go and study the Buddhist scriptures."

Although Master Qingning is a Buddhist.

However, seeing Xu Miaojin's little girl attitude, how could she not see a clue? She smiled dotingly and said, "Little Miaojin has finally grown up."

"Whose kid is so lucky?"

"After this period is over and the imperial concubine selection is concluded, we will quickly inform Hui Zu and allow that boy's family to propose marriage to the Duke of Wei's mansion with legitimate reasons!"

Master Qingning and Xu Miaojin's mother are close friends, and Xu Miaojin is a child she watched grow up. She is naturally happy that the little girl has grown up.

After saying this, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and her expression suddenly became stern. "You are not allowed to leave Jingyue Temple for the next few days. You are the daughter of the King of Zhongshan, and now the sister of the Duke of Wei. Your status is noble, and no one is worthy of treating you unfairly."
