"What?" Royal Uncle? "

The man's words completely shocked Hua Mu Jin.

He looked at the man. No matter how he looked at him, he was definitely not older than thirty. He didn't expect him to be Bai Zhan Ke's royal uncle.

"Girl, are you so shocked that you don't believe I'm your husband's uncle?"

The man's eyes widened as he looked at Hua Mu Jin with an extremely interesting smile. He seemed to be extremely interested in her.

With a grin, Hua Mu Jin withdrew her astonished gaze.

"I've let you down because you look really young, so no matter what, people can't treat you as an elder. So, I'm a bit surprised, and I hope that you can forgive me."

Bai Zhanji took the initiative to leave the palace to look for him, which meant that this so called 'imperial uncle' must have a good relationship with Bai Zhanji. Naturally, she couldn't act impolitely towards him.

Hua Mujiao's polite tone made the man have a good impression of her.

"Little girl, you really know how to judge the atmosphere. Not bad, you and Zhuo Er can be considered to be compatible."

"Uncle Huang is too kind."

"Thirteenth Imperial Uncle, I'm looking for you. I have business to discuss."

Seeing that Hua Mu Jin was chatting with the man, Bai Zhan's face fell.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Zhan Ke with another intention in mind. He put one hand on his head, and a teasing smile appeared on his face.

"As for proper business, it's not too late to talk about it after I finish speaking with the little girl. Or is it that you have a grudge against royal uncle and are afraid that I will snatch your beloved girl away? Could it be that you don't even have this little bit of trust in her? "

As for Bai Zhan Ke, who liked to get jealous, Hibiscus vulgaris was already used to it.

However, it wasn't quite reasonable for him to be jealous of his Imperial Uncle.

"If royal uncle Thirteen doesn't have the mood to discuss official matters today, then I'll cough and come back another day."

Bai Zhan Ke said in a low voice, and then he stood up, pulling Hua Mu Jin up as well.

However, Hua Mujiao didn't expect Bai Zhan to act in such a way. Her feet were caught by the table and she directly threw herself into Bai Zhan Ke's embrace.

"Are you all going to put on the act of loving each other?"

"…"

Hua Mujiao shot a glance at the man, but she didn't immediately leave his embrace. Instead, she smiled and looked at the man hugging her.

"If you guys have business to discuss, then I'll go out and take a stroll. I'll be back in a while."

The man had no intention of going straight to business with Bai Zhan Ke. Hua Mu Jin had a feeling that it was due to her presence.

He put his arm around her slender waist, slightly pressing his hand on her, making her floral hibiscus stick even tighter.

"No need."

"Yo, yo, yo, look. You two came over to me, are you jealous of me? You must know that there are many beauties in my Purple Bamboo Garden. "

Even though he was about to leave, the man still had a leisurely look on his face as he watched the show.

After leaving Bai Zhan Ke's embrace, Hua Mujiao started to carefully size up the man.

Although men gave people a frivolous feeling, they didn't dislike them. More importantly, Hua Mujiao was very curious. The exalted younger brother of the previous emperor of the Huan Yue Country, how did he manage to get into a brothel?

Moreover, in her impression, she had never heard anyone talk about him.

"Little girl, don't look at me with that kind of expression. It's very easy for people to misunderstand. Look at the person beside you, his face is already so dark that it's like the bottom of a pot. "

As if he could see what Hua Mu Jin was thinking, the man continued to joke without any hesitation.

"Thirteenth Imperial Uncle!"

There was a hint of anger in Bai Zhan Ke's deep voice.

He turned around and looked at Luo Chen, who was waiting for him, and ordered, "Luo Chen, protect her well."

The underlying meaning of Bai Zhan Ke's words was that he had agreed to allow Hua Mujiao to leave.

Although in Hua Mujiao's eyes, he did not want this so-called Thirteenth Imperial Uncle to tease him anymore, it was still a good thing that he could leave this place.

"Then you guys talk, I'm going out for a walk."

"Don't go too far."

After Hua Mu Jin left, the man finally withdrew the mocking smile on his face and turned serious.

After which, he asked, "If I'm not wrong, that girl should be Hua Qingcheng's widow, right?"

"Uncle Thirteen knows of Hua Qingcheng?"

Bai Zhanzheng was slightly surprised that the man had mentioned Hibiscus vulgaris's mother.

The man put down his hand that was holding his head up and smiled, "Since you don't know, then it's inconvenient for me to say more. But, I can tell you this, her mother is from the Southern Kingdom, and in any case, you will be leaving in a few days for the Southern Kingdom. When that happens, we can investigate her identity and with your ability, it will be easy for us to find out her identity. "

As he spoke, the man looked at Bai Zhan Ke and asked again, "You've come uninvited today, I'm sure you have something to ask of me. Say it, what is it?"

He did not deny the man's words.

"Even if I didn't say it, Uncle Thirteen would have guessed it."

Hearing this, the man sighed and shook his head.

"I've watched you grow up, and I know your personality the best. You want to ask me to leave the mountain and sit down and suppress the empress dowager when you leave Huan Yue Country, but do you think the empress dowager will give up power because of my appearance?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang, I've already made all the preparations."

Walking out of the Violet Bamboo Garden onto the busy street, Hua Mu Jin would occasionally tilt her head to look at the dust that followed closely behind her. She seemed to want to say something, but then stopped.

As if noticing that Hua Mu Jin had something to ask, Luo Chen smiled and said: "Mother … Ahem, if Miss has anything to ask, feel free to ask.

He rolled his eyes at Luo Chen. This feeling of having his thoughts seen through made Hua Mu Jin feel uncomfortable.

"Why hasn't that Thirteenth Emperor been mentioned before?"

Luo Chen walked forward, walking shoulder to shoulder with Hua Mu Jin.

"Thirteenth Master, Bai Yan." He was the younger brother of the late emperor. When the late emperor was still alive, he was a marquis, and his power was only second to the late emperor's. It's been said that back then, when the Marquis of Zhenguo and his mistress's mother were in the process of passing down some good news, because of the interference of the previous emperor, Thirteenth Elder and the previous emperor were at loggerheads with each other. "

Luo Chen glanced at the street before continuing, "After that, for some reason, Lord Thirteen resigned from the position of Marquis and never appeared again in the Royal Palace."

Listening to Luo Chen's narration, Hua Mu Jin was very surprised.

But if Bai Yanzhen and Bai Zhangru's mother had a relationship, why did he look as big as Bai Zhanji?

"From what you're saying, doesn't that mean Thirteenth Master started dating already?"

Hearing this, Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My young miss, don't look at Lord Thirteen's appearance. He's over forty years old, but he doesn't look old."

"Four, forty...?"

Hua Mu Jin was shocked.

"He really does have a devilish face. I suddenly feel a little jealous."

In his heart, Flower Hibiscus really was a little jealous, if he could also have a face of twenty at the age of forty, wouldn't that be a beautiful thing?

Luo Chen turned his head to look at Hua Mu Jin, as the corners of his mouth formed a smile.

"This subordinate has heard that there is a genius doctor in the martial arts world who can ensure that his appearance is not old. But this genius doctor is rarely seen, and very few people have ever seen him. If young miss wants to stay young, why don't you go find this genius doctor? "

Hua Mu Jin shook his head and smiled.

"Forget about it. If your complexion really doesn't change, won't you be treated as a monster in the imperial harem?"

"That's true. The harem is a place of conflict. If its appearance isn't old, it would definitely be used by others as an example."

After Luo Chen said this, Hua Mu Jin didn't reply.

She didn't pay much attention to the shops and vendors on both sides of the street. She smiled and asked, "Miss, are you planning to go to a silk shop?"

In the blink of an eye, Hua Mu Jin stopped in her tracks, and looked at Luo Chen in astonishment.

Then, he frowned, "How do you know about the silk shop?"

Luo Chen looked away, not willing to answer.

Of course, most of all, he knew that he had accidentally leaked it.

"Don't try to hide it. Tell me, how did you know about the silk shop?"

"Cough, cough …" Luo Chen lightly coughed twice. At first, he didn't want to answer, but when he saw Hua Mujiao's slightly angry expression, he had the feeling that he was about to do something if he didn't say anything. In the end, he couldn't do anything about it, so he opened his mouth.

"Actually, it was the hidden guard who reported this to the master. I also heard a little about it."

Luo Chen's words were vague, but Hua Mujiao understood.

In truth, she should have known that she couldn't keep her every move hidden. But at this moment, she didn't hate being caught in the middle of a fight.

"Fine, I still want to shake you off and go to the silk shop to settle some matters. Since you know about it, then come with me."

Arriving at the silk shop, Hua Mujiao scanned the interior of the store but still couldn't find Boss Xu and Xiang'er.

Thinking about it, he ordered them to buy the house yesterday. At this time, it should be time to visit the place.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Just as Hua Mujiao was about to leave, a female shop assistant walked over.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Turning around, he glanced at the woman. The woman's appearance made him feel as though he had seen her somewhere before.

"The two of you seem to be wearing extraordinary clothes. I believe you want to buy some high-quality cloth. Please take a seat in the backyard and allow me to offer you a cup of tea."

Hearing this, Hua Mujiao raised her eyebrows, and the corner of her mouth hooked into a thought-provoking smile.

Following which, he nodded, "Alright, then I'll be troubling you."

"Please follow me."

He followed the girl to the backyard. The moment the door was closed, the girl suddenly knelt down.

"This humble girl, Roland, kowtows to the Empress."

Roland?

At this moment, Hua Mujie finally remembered. Wasn't this woman whom he had saved from the Qian house yesterday?

No wonder when he first saw her, he felt that he had seen her somewhere before.

"Oh, so it's you. Didn't I send someone to send you back? Why would it appear here? "

"In reply to the Empress, before this humble daughter was brought into the Qian House, she was already betrothed to another. With her current appearance, she no longer has the face to return home."

Roland's words were heavy, but from her expression, Hua Mu Jin could feel that she had already put them down.

"Since you wish to stay, then stay. However, it would be best to report to your family that you are safe, so as to prevent them from worrying too much. "Right, where did Boss Xu and Xiang'er go?"

"Boss and Xiang'er …"

Just as Roland was about to answer, he was interrupted by Hua Mujiao's words.

"You get up first."

"Yes, Mistress Xie." "Xiang'er and Boss Xu went out early in the morning. They said that someone was willing to sell their residence, so they went over to discuss the price."

Mu Jin nodded, she was satisfied with Roland's reply.
