Hua Mujiao had come to the General's Estate to handle this matter, so she had no intention of wasting time with Shangguan Yi. Furthermore, he had also begged him to come and take a look at the portrait and see if it was related to him. There was no need to conceal his identity.

"This general likes honest people. Wait a moment, I'll go get them."

Patting the armrest of the chair, Shangguan Yi stood up and went to get the portrait.

"What portrait?" "Why didn't I know about this?" Bai Zhan Ke asked Hua Mu Jin in a slightly jealous tone. He didn't know about her.

"Why should I tell you? "It's not like you're me or anything …"

Thinking that Bai Zhan Ke was concealing something from him, 'Jin Xi', Hua Mu Jin was infuriated. Furthermore, she hadn't asked him about the painting.

"I'm your husband!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are. No one said you are not. Do I even need to act coquettishly towards you? "My husband, I want to hug you. I want to hold you high up …!"

"Hugging is fine, what do you mean by holding her high?" Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Bai Zhan Ke to take it seriously.

The next second, Bai Zhan Ke stood up from his chair and walked over to Hua Mujiao. He didn't care about the shock and astonishment of Luo Chen and Nan Ge who were standing behind him, and directly carried Princess Hua Mujiao in his arms …

"What are you doing?" Was he sick? "Let me down, I still want you to be shameless."

Looking at Nan Ge and Luo Chen, Hua Mu Jin was extremely embarrassed.

"Aren't you going to hug him?"

Bai Zhan Ke couldn't understand why Hua Mujiao was so angry, it was just like a woman's heart and an endless sea of books, hard to understand.

"Didn't I just go and get a portrait? Is there a need for the two of you to act like a couple here? "Show off, go back to your palace, show off, and then you'll be upset."

Hua Mujiao, who was already embarrassed, blushed even more when she saw Shangguan Yi return with the portrait.

If there was a hole in the ground, she would have dived in.

"Let me down for business!"

After patting her back twice, Hua Mujiao jumped out of her embrace and went forward to snatch the portrait from Shangguan Yi's hands. She wanted to open it up to take a look, but to her surprise, it wasn't as tall as the portrait.

"Luochen, come over and take it."

"Yes, mistress!" Luo Chen pursed his lips and smiled. His teasing made Hua Mu Jin glare at him fiercely.

When he opened the portrait, Hua Mu Jin looked carefully at the woman on the painting. Her expression and appearance were extremely similar to his. The only thing that did not resemble her was their temperament.

Clearly, the woman in the portrait was of a delicate type.

"It's not you in the portrait."

After observing for a long time, Bai Zhan Ke suddenly said something that made Hua Mujiao look at him in surprise.

"How do you know it wasn't me? This is obviously so similar to me, how do you know? "

"Feel!"

Although Bai Zhan Ke only replied with two words, his feeling was right. Hua Mujiao also felt that the person in the portrait, should not be him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the feelings are so deep inside that I can even tell with a single glance. Let's see if you can find a few people to change their appearances tomorrow to distinguish who's real and who's real."

Shangguan Yi's words contained a hint of bitterness, which made Hua Mu Jin a bit interested.

"Shangguan Yi, why are you being so stupid?" Just like who took your woman, you can already brew a few pots of vinegar. "

As if stabbed in the heart, Shangguan Yi glared at Hua Mu Jin, but didn't speak again.

However, Hua Mujiao's words caught Bai Zhan's attention, and he shot a warning look at Shangguan Yi.

"Can you not glare at me with such tacit understanding? "You can show off, but you have to consider me, Luo Chen and Nan Ge as three of you alone. Do you know how you feel?"

"I still understand the sorrow of a bachelor dog." Hua Mu Jin nodded, indicating his position.

"What dog?" Shangguan Yi's eyes widened.

"You're single! You're all called single dogs!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi was displeased. "I'm a three foot tall man, not even a dog. Don't compare me to an animal."

"What happened to the dog? "Dogs are very intelligent, alright? There are some people in this world who are not even as good as dogs." Hibiscus fragrans is a dog lover, heard Shangguan Yi said the dog is an animal, heart that anger ah.

"Can't you see the portrait? Hurry up and put it away if you don't want to see Luo Chen."

However, Shangguan Yi had no choice but to surrender.

Just as Luo Chen was about to put away the portrait, Hua Mu Jin looked again. Suddenly, she seemed to have found something and shouted, "Wait, don't move."

He stepped forward and carefully looked at the picture of the girl with her hair tied up. It was so fine that even the hairpin had been drawn on it.

After carefully looking through it, Hua Mu Jin frowned. She then took out a box from her waist and compared it with the Blood Coral hairpin inside. To her surprise, the hairpin was exactly the same as the hairpin.

"Could this painting be my mother?"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi stood up, comparing the hairpin on the portrait with the hairpin slightly revealed, it was exactly the same as the hairpin on Hua Mujie's hand.

"Why is your mother's portrait in my father's hands?"

"You're asking me how should I know?" Hua Mujiao couldn't wait to say something to Shangguan Yi.

"Maybe they know each other."

Bai Zhan Ke spoke up softly from the side.

"How do you know?" At the same time, Hua Mu Jin and Shangguan Yi asked in unison.

"I guessed."

"Tch, crap!" The two of them spoke at the same time.

"Why did you imitate me?" Unsatisfied that Shangguan Yi was the same as him, Hua Mujiao glared angrily at Shangguan Yi.

"I wanted to ask why you imitated me!" He turned back in displeasure. At this moment, the two of them had very similar personalities.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Bai Zhan Ke's heart was filled with jealousy. He said coldly, "Maybe the two of you might be half a father and half a mother."

"Anyone who wants to be in the same family as him is sick!"

"Who wants to be her half child? You must be crazy! "

"…"

Even they themselves felt that the tacit understanding between the two of them was somewhat inconceivable. But he still couldn't get his face down. He glared at each other and turned his face away.

"Shangguan Yi, do you want to ask Madame?" Bai Zhan Ke suggested.

Shaking his head helplessly, Shangguan Yi sat back on the chair and said, "I've asked countless times. Although I could tell what my mother knew, ever since my father passed away, she didn't want to talk about my father ever again."

"Oh right, I also have a jade pendant. It should be a pair with a hairpin."

Suddenly, Hua Mujie thought about the jade pendant and took it out.

Seeing the jade pendant, Shangguan Yi stood up again and took the jade pendant from Hua Mujie's hands. She looked at it and said, "This jade pendant belongs to my father."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. When I was young, I saw father always carrying me around. Where did you come from?"

Being asked by Shangguan Yi, Hua Mujiao glanced at Bai Zhan Ke from the corner of her eyes, gave an awkward smile, and lightly coughed, "Ahem, I didn't mean to. If you are sure that the jade pendant belongs to your father, that would mean that your father and mother have a story. "

"So you're really my sister?" Shangguan Yi couldn't believe it, but she didn't seem willing to accept it either.

And Shangguan Yi's expression made Hua Mujiao disgusted. She rolled her eyes at him and replied in a disapproving manner, "Do you think I care? Don't jump to conclusions so early. Besides, I don't know who my mother is. If they were really together, then why would my mother give birth to me in Shang Shu Manor? What was your father doing? Abandoning his wife and children? "

"How would I know!?" Furthermore, my father has already been dead for eighteen years.

Shangguan Yi's words threw Hua Mujiao into a state of confusion.

If he had been eighteen years old and Shangguan Yi's father had been dead for eighteen years, he might not have been born to Shangguan Yi's father.

Also, who was her mother? Why would he be the only one left in Shang Shu Manor? And why did she die after giving birth to him?

A series of doubts caused Hua Mu Jin to feel a headache.

"Mistress, Empress, General, perhaps this subordinate knows a little about it."

Suddenly, Nan Ge respectfully opened his mouth.

In a split-second, Hua Mu Jin's spirit was roused, and she hurriedly asked, "Quickly tell me, what do you know?"

"Reporting to the Empress, this Subordinate was born in the Southern Kingdom, and this Blood Coral is unique to the depths of the Southern Kingdom. Every ten years, a blood coral would grow at the bottom of the sea. Often, the fishermen would venture into the sea to obtain the blood coral, but most of them would never return. Perhaps we might send someone to the Southern Kingdom to investigate and find some clues. "

"The Southern Kingdom? Isn't the Southern Kingdom growing red beans? " She remembered that that was what the poem said. The red beans gave birth to the Southern Kingdom!

"Empress, you are joking. The Southern Kingdom has a lot of things that other countries do not have. Furthermore, although the Southern Kingdom is small, there are many military generals and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

NanGe explained in a serious manner. This caused Flower Hibiscus to yearn for the Southern Kingdom.

"If that's the case, then I should really take a look at the Southern Kingdom!"

"What are you looking at? Go back to the palace!"

Hua Mujie had just begun to dream of the Southland, but she was suddenly grabbed by Bai Zhan Ke, who pulled her directly out of the General's Estate and tossed her onto the carriage.

"Bai Zhan Ke, what's wrong with you?!"

Staring angrily at Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao was enraged by his sudden action.

"You will never leave my side without my permission!"

"..." Something's wrong! "

When she returned to the palace, it was already quite dark. Because she had lost her temper with Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mu Jin returned to her own palace, and even shut the door on Bai Zhan Ke.

"Empress, you've finally returned. The empress dowager sent word that she wanted you to come over. The empress dowager's men had already come twice. This servant really couldn't hide it anymore, so she sent someone to tell the empress dowager that you and the emperor had left the palace. But the empress dowager said to tell you to come over when you get back. "

As soon as he entered the Hibiscus Hibiscus Temple, the green bamboo hurriedly walked forward and said.

Frowning, Hua Mu Jin had a bad premonition.

"Did she say what the Empress Mother wanted me to do?"

Hearing that, Green Bamboo shook his head, "No." Empress, should we tell the Emperor? "
