"Also, tell someone to take this hairpin to the forging workshop and ask the jade smith who made this hairpin if it was the one he made."

"Yes, your son will go now."

Taking the hairpin, the Crown Prince carefully put it away and left the hall.

The Southern King had one hand on his head, and his face was filled with fatigue.

At the side, Gao Gui was bent over as he respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, on the queen's side, are you going?"

The king shook his head and sighed.

"I'm afraid the queen is still too short, and if she goes she will only be a burden to her. Tomorrow, send someone to bring the young prefecture lord back to the palace and chat with her. "

"Yes, your Majesty."

West Palace. Bedchamber.

"I really didn't expect that you would actually be the daughter of the Southern Princess. It's really unbelievable. "

At the table, Shangguan Yi took a sip of tea to calm her nerves.

Hua Mujiao sat in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

"How would I know? "I was startled. I came to the Southern Kingdom to investigate my mother's identity, but I didn't expect her to be a member of the Southern Kingdom's royal family."

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao turned to look at Bai Zhan Ke and asked, "Why did you stop me from going over?"

In the great hall, when the King of the South let her pass, she had felt his fear as he held her.

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, so she could only ask him.

"He didn't. He completely trusted you."

Hua Mujiao was shocked, "It can't be. I can see that his expression is quite kind."

Raising his eyes, Bai Zhan looked at Hua Mu Jin and took a deep breath.

"Jin'er, there are some things that can't be seen just by appearances."

"Your husband is right. This general also feels that there is something wrong with the Southern King's expression. That hairpin and jade pendant are enough proof of your identity. Furthermore, you also have a face that is exactly the same as your mother's, so logically, the eyes of the Southern King should no longer have any doubts about you. "

Shangguan Yi then took another sip of tea before continuing, "This general feels that something must have happened to the Southern Princess, which is why he still has doubts about you."

"Since you are clear, send someone to investigate."

As soon as Shangguan Yi finished her sentence, Bai Zhan Ke handed over the matter to her.

Shangguan Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a look of reluctance on her face.

"I said that I am a general of a country, why are you asking me to investigate such a trifling matter?" "Nan Ge is from the Southern Kingdom, and I know the Southern Kingdom better than me. If you ask him to investigate, I won't go."

Shangguan Yi did indeed do a lot of things beside Bai Zhan Ke.

Sometimes, he even wondered if he was a civil or military official.

Bai Zhan's lips curled up as he raised his eyebrows.

"As for this matter, I'll leave it to you. As for who you're going to give it to, I don't care."

"You … Alright, since you are the monarch, then this general will be your official. I think you will be loyal to me for the rest of your life. "

With that, Shangguan Yi stood up and left the chamber.

Seeing Shangguan Yi leave in a huff, Hua Mujiao couldn't help laughing.

In her view, it was not that Bai Zhan Ke was certain that he would be loyal to this sovereign for the rest of his life, but that he himself would be unable to escape his feelings for Bai Zhan Ke.

Seeing Hua Mujie laughing, Bai Zhan Ke asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

Hua Mu Jin shook her head and denied.

"No, did I laugh? You must be mistaken. "

"Naughty!"

Hearing the sound of his doting voice, Hua Mu Jin playfully stuck out her tongue at him.

"I didn't eat anything tonight. I'm hungry. Are you hungry? I'll ask Green Bamboo to go find something to eat. "

As soon as Hua Mu Jin finished her sentence, she saw that Bai Zhan's gaze towards her was off.

He hurriedly took two steps back. "I, I'm not talking about the hunger that you're thinking about. You, you can't eat me. We, our baby doesn't agree."

As she spoke, Hua Mu Jin touched her belly, telling Bai Zhan Ke that the child in her belly really didn't agree.

"Did I say I want to eat you?"

Looking at Hua Mujie's teasing appearance, Bai Zhan raised his eyebrows.

"…"

It is said that men are the lower half of the thinking animals, flower hibiscus feels, there is nothing wrong with these words.

Just as she was about to go back to the war, Hua Mujiao suddenly frowned, "That's not right, the Southern King has yet to return the hairpin to me. Moreover, they also haven't told me who taught them that song, 'Phoenixes for the Phoenix'."

"That hairpin, the reason why the Southern King didn't return it to you is because he wants to use it to determine whether it is real or fake. When he finishes, he will return it to you."

Hearing Bai Zhan Ke speak like this, Hua Mujiao was no longer worried about her hairpin.

However, she truly cared a lot about that song called "Phoenix Cry".

"Bai Zhan Ke, can you send someone to investigate it for me? I want to know who taught them the song 'Feng Su Huang'."

Looking at the hibiscus flower, Bai Zhan Ke asked, "Do you care a lot about that song?"

"Of course I care. That song came from our place, which means that someone else came here like me, searching for him. Maybe I can find out from her why the zither that allowed me to pass through didn't have any reaction when I played the zither."

Hearing his words, Bai Zhan Ke's eyes glazed over.

That night when the hibiscus was playing the zither, its body emitted light. Did she not see it?

"There is no need to investigate this matter, because you are my woman and belong to me, so naturally you should not have left."

"I'm telling you the proper business, why are you …"

Turning around, Hua Mujie stopped when she saw Bai Zhan's expression.

It was not because his expression was dark, but because she saw a trace of fear in his eyes.

Although it was a very subtle expression, Hua Mu Jin was still able to see it.

"Let's stop talking. Green Bamboo, Green Bamboo …"

After calling out to the green bamboo twice, Hua Mujiao changed the topic.

"Empress, your servant is here."

"Go, get me some food. I'm hungry."

"Yes, Empress."

The next day, in the morning.

When Hua Mujiao opened her eyes, the white battle cry beside her was still nowhere to be seen.

With breakfast, Hibiscus vulgaris came to the fake mountain and sat on a rock. In her hands, she fed the fish in the pond.

"Sister, Sister, let's go kite."

Just as Hua Mu Jin finished throwing away the fish food in her hand, Heng`er's little figure ran towards her.

"Flying a kite? But there's no wind today, so would this kite be able to fly? "

Hearing Hua Mu Jin's question, Heng'er looked up with a wronged expression on her face.

"But, I want to play with you, sister."

Hua Mujiao embarrassedly smiled. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this? Big sister will teach you a new one so that we can play together. What do you say?"

In an instant, Heng'er's face lit up.

"Alright, alright. Elder sister, what are you going to teach me?"

The child's innocence was infected with the flower hibiscus.

Seeing Heng`er smile, Hua Mujiao was in a very happy mood.

"How about this, we'll go find some small stones first. Big sister will teach you how to catch some, okay?"

"Capture him?"

Seeing the stupefied Heng`er, Hua Mujiao smiled and took his hand to start searching for the stone.

When she had found enough, Hua Mujiao squatted on the ground and began to demonstrate to Heng`er how he played with the catch.

"Elder sister, I know this."

Stunned at the sight of Heng`er squatting down, Hua Mu Jin was stunned.

Although she didn't know when the news had spread to modern times, Heng`er would surprise her.

"Then, do you think this is fun?"

Heng`er pouted and said, "It's always been fun, but I've been doing it since I was young. I'm a little tired of it."

Tired of it?

Hua Mujiao was a bit embarrassed. When she was young, she didn't play many games, so it was quite difficult for her to come up with an interesting game in a short period of time.

"Then do you have anything that you aren't tired of? Tell elder sister, elder sister will play with you."

Hearing Hua Mu Jin's question, Heng'er acted as though he was thinking about something.

"Hmm, big sister, why don't we play hide and seek?"

Hide and seek?

In truth, Hua Mu Jin didn't really like hiding.

After all, she was pregnant right now, so it wouldn't be good if she moved for a long time.

However, looking at Heng'er's happy expression, she could not bear to refuse.

"Then, alright."

"Elder sister, I'm more familiar with the palace. You hide first, I'm here to find you."

After playing with Heng`er for a long time, every time he hid Hua Mujie, she would be found.

This caused Heng'er to lose interest in playing hide and seek.

"Sister, every time you hide in the surroundings of the palace, it will take me a long time to find you." Sister, every time you hide in the surroundings of the palace, it will take me a long time to find you.

Hua Mu Jin was a bit helpless, but in the end, she still agreed.

Walking out of the Western Palace, Hua Mu Jin slowly walked forward with no intention of hiding anything.

"Empress, although the Crown Prince's son is the son of the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, you possess the Dragon Queen's body, so you shouldn't walk around for too long. How about you stop playing with him?"

Beside him, Green Bamboo was a little worried.

"It's alright. The palace is so large, and he won't be able to find me in a short period of time. I can also take this as a walk to relax."

Hua Mujie walked along a stone path and only stopped when she arrived outside a palace.

"Empress, are we going too far?" "What if we can't find a way back?"

Hua Mujiao raised her head, the sign had the three words "Hall of Music" written on it.

"Don't worry, we'll just follow the road back. If you really get lost, find a court lady and ask."

"But …"

Glancing at the green bamboo, Hua Mujiao had no choice but to turn back.

However, just as she took two steps, the melodious sound of a zither came from behind her. Hua Mujiao was stunned for a moment before she turned around and quickly walked into the hall.

"Empress, what's wrong? Aren't we going back? "

Ignoring the green bamboo, Hua Mu Jin followed the sound and entered the hall.

What appeared in her line of sight was a group of musicians. They were gathered in a circle, looking at the person who was playing a zither in the middle.

Hua Mujiao stood still, not going up to interrupt the person playing the zither until the person finished.

"Who taught you this song?"

Everyone turned to look at Hua Mujiao when they heard his voice.

Among them, a few who had seen Hua Mujie at the banquet last night saw her and knelt down.
