While the Hua family was looking for Hua Baixiang, Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan had already set off to return to Houyue.
Hua Jinglan played with the things in her hands, and the words of the Saint of the Western Regions echoed in her mind repeatedly. Half of her gossip was related to the fate of the Seven Kingdoms, but there were only five kingdoms in the world: Houyue, Loulan, Tianshui, Qiongyu, and Liefeng. Where did the Seven Kingdoms begin? Will new countries be born in the future
Chun Yuyan took the black jade in her hand and said, "You have been looking at this thing along the way. Don't your eyes hurt?"
Hua Jinglan smiled and said, "This black jade is half of the Bagua. The Saint of the Western Regions said it is the Bagua Yin key, which means there is also a Bagua Yang key, so that a complete Bagua can be formed."
"Yue Yin Gou and Yue Xiaoman are already filled with enough secrets. I didn't expect to get another gossip secret key this time. I wonder if it will be implicated in anything interesting." Chunyu Yan released the jade. After that, he handed it over to Zhui Feng.
"Whatever," Hua Jinglan stretched, "I'm tired from the journey. Why don't we walk around the nearby places when we go back? It's a rare visit to Liefeng Country."
Xiangrong heard the words and said: "We are going through Loulan Kingdom on the way. Master, can we four sisters go back and see the Prime Minister?"
Hua Jinglan recalled the map in her mind. Loulan's capital was not far from their route, so she nodded, "Okay."
Xiang Rong and several others were overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, sir!"
Hua Jinglan waved her hand, "I'm going to pay a visit to the Prime Minister anyway."
After saying that, she turned around and patted Chun Yushang on the shoulder, "Do you want to go or not? Loulan Kingdom is full of beauties like Sister Xiangrong!"
Chunyushang thought for a moment and said, "Is there any sister-in-law who is so beautiful?"
These words were so comforting. Hua Jinglan's eyes curved into crescent shapes, "Of course not."
Chunyushang suddenly became discouraged, "I made a bet with my third brother that day, saying that I would marry a woman more beautiful than my sister-in-law..."
Hua Jinglan smiled so brightly, "Then you will definitely lose. There will be no woman in the world who is more beautiful than your sister-in-law and me!"
"Chunyu, what do you think?"
Chun Yuyan touched her chin and smiled proudly, "What we are betting on is the pair of fist-sized pearls we bought from Penglai Island!"
"Penglai Island?" Hua Jinglan turned to look at him, "Where is Penglai Island?"
"The sea east of Tianshui Kingdom." Chunyu Yan thought for a while and said, "Penglai has many islands, and some people on some small islands have been isolated from outsiders for decades."
Hua Jinglan nodded, and the old painting that Sang Bugui showed her appeared in front of her eyes. The two words on it should be "Penglai". This feeling was the same as when she read the Xuanxi Neijing. Everything should be related to her mother Ye Meishuang. Even Mei Er doesn't know Ye Meishuang's past. Except for Hua Baimei, she doesn't have any relatives or friends around her. She doesn't know where she comes from. If Yue Yingou and Yue Xiaoman It's all hers, so what does she have to do with "Penglai"
The clues in my mind are all fragmented. Putting them together is like trying to find the original shape of a piece of broken glassware. How difficult it is!
"Then I'm not doomed?" Chunyushang said sadly, "I pestered my father for a long time to get the pearl!"
"Not necessarily," Xiangrong said: "The female prime minister's daughter Qin Sang is eleven years old this year. She has delicate and lovely facial features. Once she grows up, she may not be inferior to the young master."
Hua Jinglan turned around and glared at her, "Are you trying to tear me down in public?!"
Xiang Rong looked up at the sky and said, "Sir, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
"Damn girl!" Hua Jinglan rolled her eyes at her, turned around and smiled at Chun Yushang, saying: "Go and have a look, if she's pretty, I'll snatch her back and make her your child bride!"
"Okay, okay!" Chunyushang smiled happily.
"Why don't you become a child bride for me?!" Jin'er said unconvinced, "I'm eleven years old too!"
Dawu quickly covered his mouth, little ancestor, you can't say this nonsense. Can you marry your wife casually? !
Hua Jinglan looked astonished, "How could I forget you..."
Jin'er thought she was going to give Chun Yushang's wife to him, but then she heard her say: "A little beggar deserves a little beggar. We will pick up the first little beggar we see when we enter Loulan Kingdom later." Be a wife!”
"Haha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Jin'er's two little eyebrows knitted together, pointed at Hua Jinglan's nose and said, "You are partial!"
Hua Jinglan crossed her arms and looked down at him, deliberately trying to tease him, "Chun Yushang is my brother, who are you?"
"I am... I am..." Jin'er thought for a long time but couldn't find a position that could surpass "Hua Jinglan's younger brother". Thinking about it carefully, he was almost sold by Hua Jinglan. When comparing the two, he silently He shrank back to Dawu, lowered his head and said, "I still don't want a wife."
Chunyu Shang was feeling proud when he saw him raise his head again, with an evil light shining in his eyes, "That Qin Sang is definitely not as good-looking as Hua Jinglan!"
"You... are jealous of this prince!" Chunyushang bared his teeth and started to fight.
Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan dragged them aside one by one. The former said: "Stop arguing, or I will let you follow Chun Yuzhuang and Murong Wei back to Yecheng!"
The two people's eyes widened and they immediately swallowed their words.
Chunyuzhuang and Murong Wei behind were speechless. Are they two savage beasts? Specifically designed to scare children! Also, Hua Jinglan’s words clearly meant seeing off guests!
Hua Jinglan turned to look at them with a smile, "The emperor did not give us any extra funds. I paid for the sightseeing tour from my own pocket, and I have no intention of paying for your share, so please do as you wish."
"What a joke, I am the majestic Princess of Qiongyu Kingdom, will the Princess of Houyue still be short of money?" Murong Wei sneered.
"That's good," Hua Jinglan said, stroking Su Huan's chin, "Bring the account book over."
Su Huan took out a pamphlet and walked to the two of them respectfully and said: "In view of the precious silks and jewelry the princess bought and the rewards she gave to beggars along the way, the money she took out from the palace was already spent on the road. From now on, I will exchange the banknotes from Linglong Tower..."
Su Huan rattled off a long list, then glanced at the scattered silver coins Chun Yuzhuang and Murong Wei took out, and then concluded: "After pledging the food to the young master, the Xian King and the Xian Princess still owe the young master two thousand taels of silver. .”
