Then, he apologetically bowed, "Your Highness is being bold. Please forgive me, the Fantasy Moon Emperor and the Empress."
"Your Highness, please …"
After the Crown Prince left, Shangguan Yi shut the door tightly.
Hua Mujiao was amused by his vigilant look.
"What are you doing?" "Why did you chase the crown prince away? I feel like he knows about my mother, didn't I come here just to investigate her identity? That would make things a little complicated, why do you make him seem like he has a plague and wants to chase him away?"
Shangguan Yi's actions had really made Hua Mujiao feel strange.
Shangguan Yi rolled her eyes at Hibiscus Blossom, then went forward and sat on a stool by the bed.
"Have you never seen a foolish woman like you, who goes out without a brain? "Also, speak softly. After all, this is someone else's territory."
Being told by Shangguan Yi that she had no brains, Hua Mujie was unhappy.
Staring at him, she returned his gaze.
"You don't have a brain. If the crown prince says I'm like a person, then I must be like my mother. The reason he was able to ask was naturally because he knew my mother. If I were to ask him about it, would you be so nervous? "
Shangguan Yi put her hand on her forehead and cast a pleading look at Bai Zhan Ke.
"You better explain to your woman, she's really stupid to the extreme. I'll go back to my room to sleep first. If there's anything you need, don't call me! "
With that, Shangguan Yi stood up and walked out.
Hua Mujiao pouted. She couldn't understand what was going on with Shangguan Yi, so she asked Bai Zhan Ke, "What went wrong with him?" Or did I really not think of any strong relationship? "
Bai Zhan Ke tweaked Hua Mujiao's blanket, and said, "The way you look at me, Crown Prince, is not pure."
"Huh?"
Eyes impure?
What kind of lousy reason was this?
"Aren't you guys a little too sensitive? [He is the crown prince of a country, why would he fall for me? Although I am as beautiful as an immortal, I shouldn't be someone who everyone loves, right? "
While rebutting Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao did not forget to praise herself.
She was boasting, and she was used to it.
"Jin'er, we're the kings of a country!"
"I know you're the ruler of a nation, why did you suddenly say this? "Let's talk now …"
At first Hibiscus didn't understand what Zhan Ke meant by that, but in the middle of her sentence, she understood.
He was saying that he was the ruler of a country and could even like her. Why couldn't the crown prince of that country take a liking to him?
Or could it be that his pride did not allow others to question the woman he had taken a fancy to?
"Cough, cough. About that, I just want to ask, other than this, is there any other reason?"
Hua Mujie knew that if he were to discuss this topic with Bai Zhan, he would definitely come up with an excuse to eat himself.
Thus, it was best to change the topic.
"This is the Southern Kingdom. Although he is the crown prince, he still has to be on his guard. Furthermore, you do not know whether or not he knows about your mother. Even if he does, it is not certain that he would be friends with your mother. "
The story was simple and clear, and Hua Mujiao was suddenly enlightened.
No wonder Shangguan Yi called himself a fool.
"I understand. What if he had a grudge with my mother, or if my mother escaped from the Southern Kingdom's Imperial Palace? If I were to easily say it, wouldn't I give a cut to the friendship between these two countries?"
Bai Zhan Ke shook his head.
"Not really, but it's best to be careful."
"Understood."
At the same time, in another room in the garden.
The crown prince was seated at the table before him, and there was a portrait of a woman on it.
"Your Highness, why is the concubine of the Huan Yue Kingdom's emperor the same as the princess?" This subordinate almost thought that the princess had returned. "
To the side stood the crown prince's personal guard.
"You're not the only one thinking, this prince also thinks that my royal sister has returned." Look at her, she and the royal sister in the portrait, they look like they were carved from the same mold. "
The guard leaned forward and looked at the portrait.
"But, your subordinate has heard that the Huan Yue emperor dotes on this concubine. Furthermore, she is the young miss of the Shang Book Manor, and is only 18 years old."
Looking at the portrait, the Crown Prince's eyes were filled with a different kind of tenderness and regret.
"I remember that when my royal sister left the Southern Kingdom, I was only thirteen. I didn't expect that it had already been twenty years."
The crown prince had deep feelings for her and the imperial guards understood that.
"Then should we send word to the king and the queen about this?"
Putting away the painting, the crown prince shook his head.
"No need for now, don't let Imperial Mother have a good time."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and gently placed the portrait into a long peach box. Then, he carefully put it away.
"But as soon as they enter the palace, the queen will know, and it will be empty joy."
The Crown Prince glanced at the guards and patted the dust off his sleeves.
"The Queen Mother and Royal Father have already gambled away at each other for twenty years. They have rarely stepped out of the palace, so even if they did enter the palace, they might not necessarily be able to meet again."
On the morning of the second day, Hua Mujiao and the others set out from their respective gardens, continuing their journey towards the capital of the Southern Kingdom.
The Crown Prince also never had the chance to speak to Hibiscus vulgaris until the evening of the third day, when they arrived at the Southern Kingdom's palace.
Father has already gone to bed. Tomorrow night, Father will prepare a welcoming feast for the Emperor, and I hope that the Emperor can first rest in this palace hall. I will take my leave and return to the crown prince's mansion.
"Sorry for troubling you, crown prince. This official will first thank you on behalf of the emperor."
Because it was already evening, Hua Mujiao and the others entered the Southern Kingdom's palace quietly.
However, it was a good thing that they had arrived in the evening. Otherwise, the noise of the commoners outside as they passed through the streets of the capital would surely be audible.
After walking into the chamber prepared for them by the Southern Kingdom, Hua Mu Jin looked left and right. The arrangement was simple and not luxurious. She really liked it.
"To think that a great trading and flourishing Southern Kingdom would prepare such a simple palace for us. Are you looking down on my Huan Yue Country?"
Seeing this arrangement, Shangguan Yi's thoughts were completely different from that of Hua Mujiao.
"I feel that it is better to be simple. Moreover, this palace hall is not small. Although it is simple to set up, it is very unique. It seems that the people here have taken quite a bit of effort to set up."
"Come on, my general's residence seems to be even more noble than this palace. "Moreover, this is a reception from both countries, so no matter what, we should be rich and resplendent. Otherwise, not only will we lose face for our Southern Kingdom, it will also make people feel that our Huan Yue country is nothing in their eyes."
She rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yi, unable to agree with him.
However, for him to be able to pull the relationship between two countries together with just a bedroom, I really don't know what he is thinking.
"You only know how to misunderstand other people's intentions, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Why aren't you quickly going back to your room to rest? Are you trying to disturb my night with my husband?"
Shaking her mouth in disgust, Shangguan Yi glanced at her and then back at Bai Zhan Ke.
"Look at your woman, what are you saying? For a girl like you, you wouldn't feel ashamed! "
Hearing this, Bai Zhan curled his lips, his gaze falling on Hua Mu Jin's body.
"It was indeed a good night."
"Eh, I really can't stand all of you."
Shangguan Yi trembled, goosebumps appearing all over her body.
"Enough, I think I'll leave first. Otherwise, I won't get tired of being turned into honey and will be stuck to death."
With that, Shangguan Yi turned and walked out of the chamber.
After observing the surroundings for a while, Hua Mu Jin walked over to the table and sat down.
She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Zhan Ke.
"Do you think it's strange? Logically speaking, the reason why they prepared a bedroom for us should be because we separated here. I can understand that there wasn't enough rooms in the courtyard, but why did they arrange for us to stay in the same bedroom? "
According to the customs of ancient times, emperors were not allowed to sleep with concubines or even empress every night. When this rumor reached the ears of the commoners and ministers, it would only be described as preposterous and perverted.
"Have you forgotten? The Southern Kingdom's harem only has one successor."
Hearing this, Hibiscus vulgaris understood.
"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about this? Since there is only one Queen on the Southern King, then it is natural that she sleeps with the Queen at night. Then, should this be considered as the Southern Kingdom's rule? "
"More or less."
To this queen, flower hibiscus has curiosity.
To be able to make a sovereign not accept a concubine and have the imperial harem only have one person, just how devastatingly beautiful would that be? She really couldn't think of anything.
Forget it, let's not think about it. Let's sleep early, we've been travelling for half a month and my waist is almost falling apart. Finally, there's a soft bed for me to sleep on, I need a good night's sleep.
As she spoke, Hua Mujiao stood up and walked towards the bed.
Seeing the spacious bed, Hua Mujiao rushed forward and pounced on it.
The bed was so soft, it made her feel like she was sleeping on it.
"Jin'er, our good night hasn't come yet."
At this moment, the magnetic voice of Bai Zhan Ke came from above her head. Hua Mu Jin subconsciously jumped up, hugging her blanket as she looked at the man who had walked to her bedside.
"No matter how you walk, there's no sound. Let me tell you, no, I'm pregnant right now. What if I hurt the child?"
The corners of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth curled up into a sly grin.
He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the hibiscus flower closer to him.
"No, I will be very gentle."
"…"
"Good girl, give it to me."
The tempting sounds of the white battle sounded out once again. Hua Mujie shook her head violently, like a rattle.
"No, no, just no, you don't know, pregnant women are the easiest way to hurt their children in the first three months of pregnancy. If we go to bed, you will definitely hurt them, no matter what you say tonight, it won't do."
"This time, I will be gentler."
Hua Mujie was determined, but in the end, she was stripped and eaten dry.
She lay limply on the bed, looking at Bai Zhan Ke at the side, unconvinced in her heart.
She pushed him and said, "Liars, men are liars! You're not allowed to sleep, I'm hungry. Go and get me some food, it's all because of you, you still have the mood to sleep! "
