Seeing Xie Ying's look, Luo Ran thought she was still interested in her cousin.
Before she could say anything, she heard Xie Ying say: "Cousin-in-law, are you going to pray for the prince?"
Xie Ying dared to call Luo Ran her cousin, but she didn't dare to call him her cousin without Fu Jinan's consent.
Of course Luo Ran couldn't refuse her aunt's invitation, so she nodded, turned to Xiuzhu and said, "You go back to your aunt. I will wait for her at the city gate."
Xiuzhu got the answer and turned around.
Xie Ying looked at Luo Ran expectantly and coquettishly, and said: "Cousin-in-law, you may not know that since I sprained my foot last time I went out of the city, my mother has detained me for several days, and I am almost suffocated!"
Luo Ran didn't understand the truth or falsehood of Xie Ying's words for a while, and he didn't agree to it at all, and said: "Why don't you ask Mrs. If you don’t get it right, it will take a lifetime.”
Xie Ying said happily: "As long as my cousin agrees, my mother will definitely agree!"
After Xie Ying left, even Youqing couldn't help but ask: "Princess, what do you mean by Miss Xie?"
Luo Ran glanced at her and said nothing.
Chunyu whispered at the side: "What else can it mean? Didn't you see the way she looked when she saw the young master just now? It's as if the child is hers. Even our young master Jing Xing cried and she still refused to let go."
Youqing glanced at Luo Ran and said: "At first, the slave girl thought that Miss Xie was here for the prince, but now the prince is not here. Moreover, when the slave girl heard about Mrs. Shen's uncle, her eyes were filled with tears. It’s bright. Princess, is it possible that she hasn’t given up on her young master yet?”
"I don't know. It won't happen if my cousin doesn't take a rest in the future."
But it is not ruled out that Xie Ying plans to start with her aunt Wang.
Luo Ran put the matter aside.
The next day, I received a message from Xie Ying, saying that I would go to Fahua Temple with her tomorrow.
When he woke up on the morning of June 15th, Luo Ran first looked at the sky outside through the window. Sure enough, it was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.
In fact, this is the second rain in Beijing since Fu Jinan left.
In the last scene, after Luo Ran said that it was going to rain that day, the rain came two days later.
Youqing laid out the food and said with some worry: "I don't know if the rain will stop. If it rains heavily, the way back and forth will be difficult."
Luo Ran took another look at the clouds, which were not very thick, and said, "It shouldn't be raining heavily. Let's go early and come back early."
After breakfast, we set off early.
When they arrived at the city gate, Wang happened to have just arrived, but Xie Ying arrived a little earlier than the two of them.
After receiving Xie Ying's letter yesterday, Luo Ran wrote to his aunt, so Wang didn't show any surprise when he saw Xie Ying.
Xie Ying stepped forward and saluted, and Wang also smiled. Although she was not very warm, she was not distant either, which was just right.
After a few people gathered together, they drove out of the city.
Liu Zimo came back from an inspection and was walking down the city wall when he saw several carriages leaving the city. He asked casually: "Which house are they from?"
The guard below replied: "Sir, it's Princess Xuan, Mrs. Shen, and the Xie family who are leaving the city to Fahua Temple."
When Liu Zimo heard this, he looked over, and then he saw the sign on the carriage clearly, but he was already far away.
When the guard just saw the adults staring at those carriages, he thought he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, sir. The younger ones have already checked their waistbands. There is no problem."
"Um."
Liu Zimo responded and said: "Nothing. I just thought it was going to rain, so I went out of the city."
When the guard heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "When you burn incense and worship Buddha, you don't care about the wind and rain. This shows your sincerity. I heard that King Xuan has been going to Jiangnan to control floods for some time. Princess Xuan must be doing it for Your Majesty, please go and pray."
Liu Zimo looked at him lightly: "You talk a lot."
The guard quickly shut up and went to the side to take charge.
Liu Zimo glanced into the distance again, turned around and continued his inspection.

The carriage walked for more than an hour before stopping at the foot of Fahua Temple.
In order to show sincerity, of course you have to walk up.
Luo Ran was worried about Xie Ying's foot injury and stopped her from joining him. Ming Youqing rented a sedan to drive her away, saying: "You go up first and wait for us."
Xie Ying did not insist, said goodbye to Luo Ran and Wang, and drove them up in a sedan chair.
Wang looked at Xie Ying's back thoughtfully.
Luo Ran held onto Wang's arm and said, "Auntie, let's go up too."
Wang came back to her senses and patted her hand: "Okay."
The two of them walked and talked, not feeling very tired.
Wang asked: "Have you received letters from the prince these days? Is everything going well over there?"
Luo Ran replied: "Well, I just came here the day before yesterday and everything is fine. They said the flood there has been controlled and the rain has lightened up, and I will be able to come back in a few days."
Mrs. Wang clasped her hands together and said: "Thank you God for blessing. It's really hard for the people to live. Without war and fear of natural disasters, just a small rain can destroy families and destroy lives, and a lifetime of hard work will be in vain."
Although Luo Ran couldn't personally understand the hardships of the people, but thinking about what was recorded in the book, he couldn't help but clasping his hands and reciting a few words silently along with Wang.
Mrs. Wang put down her hand and asked, "What's going on with Miss Xie? Did she really come out for some air after being bored at home for a long time?"
Luo Ran looked at his aunt and smiled: "I thought aunt knew."
Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mrs. Xie showed that intention last year. It's just that you don't know what your cousin is like. He looks gentle and elegant, but in fact his heart is as hard as a stone. Regarding the marriage, your grandmother I was worried about him, but he just didn't take it seriously. I went up the mountain today to beg the Buddha to bring a girl to take him in as soon as possible."
Luo Ran covered his mouth and smiled: "Looking at what my aunt said, I know that you want a daughter-in-law, but those who don't know think..."
Mrs. Wang also laughed: "Now I think about it. As long as your cousin is willing to marry, no matter what his background is, even if he is a goblin, I agree! But look at him, hey!"
Luo Ran suddenly said: "Which aunt thinks is better, Princess Anzhen or Miss Xie?"
Wang glanced up and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered: "To tell you the truth, I still like Princess Anzhen, who is simple and easy to get along with."
Luo Ran said deliberately: "Auntie, aren't you afraid that the princess has a high status and it's hard to handle when you get in?"
Mrs. Wang glared at her: "You kid. What kind of family is our Shen family? From the day I came in, your grandmother treated me like a daughter and loved me. She never set any rules like others. I didn't even eat it myself. Life is so hard, why bother with other girls? They are all children raised carefully by their parents. There is no need for us to compare ourselves to each other."
Luo Ran nodded heartily: "My aunt has a good heart, and she will definitely meet the daughter-in-law she wants!"
When she arrived at the temple, Xie Ying had already walked around the area. When she saw the two people coming up, she hurriedly asked someone to bring herbal tea.
Mrs. Wang smiled and waved her hand: "Thank you for your help, girl. But let's go in first and burn incense."
After being rejected, Xie Ying couldn't see anything on her face. She smiled and said, "Okay, I've already said hello to you inside. Madam, cousin, let's go in."
