- There is only a little more than a month left before returning to the palace...... Mo'er ...... Will she be able to get used to life in the palace? If...... I took her to see my grandmother...... Grandma, will she like me to be with Mo'er? Jiang Hong'er looked blankly at Mo'er, who was still sleeping on the bed at this time, and thought in her heart.

- It's noon soon, Mo'er...... I can sleep for a long time every day, and if I do this in the palace in the future, I will be scolded by my father and grandmother, and ...... I haven't gotten up until now, and it's not good for my body to skip breakfast, Jiang Hong'er continued to think in her heart.

Jiang Hong'er walked straight to Mo'er's side, sat on the bed, and picked Mo'er up in front of him...... In this way, Mo'er's head and body were leaning on Jiang Hong'er's chest, and Jiang Hong'er picked Mo'er up and walked towards the inner hall of the postman's shop.

“…… Master, I ...... Where is it now? Mo'er woke up in Jiang Hong'er's arms.

"It's noon soon, I'll take you to breakfast," Jiang Hong'er said to Mo'er, who was picked up by herself.

After entering the inner hall, Jiang Hong'er asked Xiao Bo to prepare breakfast......

"The host...... You can let me down......" Although Mo'er had woken up at this time, she was still held in Jiang Hong'er's arms and refused to let go, Mo'er was a little shy at the moment, and was held by her parents like a child.

"Mo'er, are you shy...... You weren't like this before, I can't remember when you started changing, but ...... That's good, now you ...... It's no longer the animal it used to be," Jiang Hong'er said to Mo'er in her arms.

“…… Well, because of the days with the master...... Mo'er began to slowly learn joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and learned to empathize, and it was also the master who asked Mo'er to go to a private school to study, so that Mo'er could understand the world...... It's all because of the master," Mo'er raised her head slightly, looked at Jiang Hong'er and said.

…… A moment later.

"The host...... Put Mo'er down...... Let's put Mo'er down, like this...... It's not good," Mo'er said in Jiang Hong'er's arms again.

"Well, let's go have breakfast," Jiang Hong'er said after putting Mo'er down.

"Mo'er, you know what? Though...... You're not a handmaid to me anymore, but now think about it...... Originally...... It seems that I am taking care of you," Jiang Hong'er said with a smile as she looked at Mo'er who was eating breakfast.

“…… It's the owner who has been taking care of Mo'er, Mo'er...... The one who has always been taken care of,...... I'm sorry, the master should obviously be ......" Hearing Jiang Hong'er's words, he remembered the bits and pieces of the past, and a warm current hit his heart, all of which was Jiang Honger's care and love for him.

"It's okay, you're worth it for me to do this" Jiang Hong'er looked at Mo'er, who was also looking at her at this time, and gently wiped the corners of Mo'er's mouth with a handkerchief.

"The host...... Why are you saying this today...... That's a lot to say today...... Words that warm Mo'er's heart" Mo'er looked at Jiang Hong'er and said in a somewhat delicate voice.

"Actually, I have something to tell you, it's just...... When I saw you, I digressed all of a sudden," Jiang Hong'er said.

"Mo'er, why do you lie in bed every day? Skipping breakfast is not good for your health," Jiang Hong'er continued, and stretched out his right hand and put it on Mo'er's cheek.

“…… Mo'er didn't know either, it was ...... Wake up late ......" Mo'er replied a little embarrassed when she heard Jiang Hong'er say that she was lying in bed, and the temperature from Jiang Hong'er's hand also made Mo'er's heartbeat speed up a little at the moment......

"Later in the palace...... Before you were officially approved by my father and my grandmother...... I might ...... There is no way to sleep in the same room with you, the prince can only sleep in the same room with the crown princess, but ...... I'll try my best to get them to agree, so I won't be able to call you to get up for breakfast in the morning," Jiang Hong'er said as she continued to wipe the corners of Mo'er's mouth.

“…… Can't you see the master in the morning......" Mo'er said with some sadness.

"Well, so you can't lie in bed anymore, if the rest of the palace knows that the future crown princess will lie in bed, then you will be laughed at" Jiang Hong'er gently quipped Mo'er.

"Well, Mo'er...... will work hard" Mo'er stretched out her hands and stroked the hand that Jiang Hong'er had attached to her face......

- How do you feel at the moment...... It should be interpreted as happiness, Mo'er said in her heart.

"Mo'er, accompany me to Xihai Temple in the afternoon, I want to ...... Ask for a marriage for the two of us," Jiang Hong'er said to Mo'er.

“…… Hmm," Mo'er said with some emotion.

In the afternoon, the west bank of the capital city ......

"Today's weather is good" Jiang Hong'er took Mo'er's hand and walked on the street, and the warm sunshine made many people choose to travel today.

"Well, it's warm...... It's like ......" Mo'er, who was held by Jiang Hong'er, said, Mo'er felt very warm at the moment, I don't know if it was because of the warm sunshine today or because of the temperature of Jiang Hong'er's palm.

Xihai Temple is crowded with people, it is rare that everyone wants to take advantage of such a good weather today to ask for a good sign.

There are a total of 21 temple entrances in Xihai Temple, there are "wisdom god" Manjushri Bodhisattva, "ascetic god" Fuxian Bodhisattva, as well as "protecting the Dharma and destroying evil spirits" four heavenly kings in the east, west, north and south, etc., people who come to worship can come forward to bow down and petition and ask for signatures according to their own needs.

Jiang Hong'er led Mo'er to the temple entrance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, obviously asking for a marriage sign, but Jiang Hong'er did not take Mo'er to the temple entrance of Yuelao.

"Mo'er, this is the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva who can hear all the wishes in the world, as long as all the sufferings of people can be seen, as long as all the pessimistic wishes of people can be heard, I think...... Pray for Guanyin to bless you...... In the future, you and I will be in the palace, and you will be able to go smoothly and not be persecuted by the villain's intrigues," Jiang Hong'er said sincerely to Mo'er in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

“…… Well, Mo'er will also petition the Bodhisattva and let the Bodhisattva bless the master," Mo'er said to Jiang Hong'er.

Jiang Honger first stood in front of the Bodhisattva statue, and then knelt down on the futon, Jiang Honger seriously petitioned in front of the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue, and every time he bent down to worship, he would first hold his palms on the ground with his hands on the ground, looking extremely pious, and then fold his hands to do the Buddha worship...... And so it was repeated three times.

- Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless my Mo'er no longer to suffer from all the sufferings of the world, not to be harmed by the evil, not to be disturbed by the world, not to be trapped by bitter thoughts, and to be able to walk freely with me in the palace among thousands of thorns, and not be hurt by them...... Bless too...... Mo'er and I were finally able to come together, Jiang Hong'er pious petition to Guanyin Bodhisattva in his heart.

After Mo'er saw that Jiang Hong'er had finished worshipping seriously and piously, he also knelt down on the futon and petitioned Guanyin Bodhisattva.

——I hope that Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless Mo'er to be by her master's side forever, and I hope that the master can be happy every day, Mo'er petitioned in her heart.

When both of them finished petitioning, Jiang Hong'er walked to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and picked up two bamboo tubes with many sticks.

"Mo'er, this bamboo tube is for you, let's ask for a sign for ourselves together," Jiang Hong'er said to Mo'er.

“…… Well! Mo'er nodded in response.

The two of them shook the bamboo tube up and down......

The sound of falling bamboo sticks interrupted the two of them, and one of each of them fell out of their respective bamboo tubes, and Jiang Hong'er and Mo'er picked it up together.

The bamboo skewer in Mo'er's hand has the word "Ji" written on it, while the bamboo skewer in Jiang Hong'er's hand has the word "fierce" written on it.

(Spoiler: hint at the plot direction of Volume II: Thorny Journey)

When Mo'er saw the bamboo stick with the word "fierce" in Jiang Hong'er's hand, she became nervous and uneasy for no reason, and Jiang Hong'er first looked at her bamboo stick, and then looked at the bamboo stick in Mo'er's hand, and when she saw that the bamboo stick in Mo'er's hand was written "Ji", Jiang Honger finally breathed a sigh of relief......

- It's good that Mo'er is "auspicious...... I'm "fierce"...... Don't...... Jiang Hong'er thought in her heart.
