Xia Chu was mentally prepared to bear a violent shock on his forehead.
After waiting for a long time, I felt a tingling sensation on my nose.
When he opened his eyes in surprise, he happened to see Xiao Mubai's fingertips flashing across his face, and he feigned anger at him: "Hurry up and leave."
"Oh. Which way are you coming from?" Xia Chu turned around and took two quick steps, then turned to Xiao Mubai and asked.
"That's it." Xiao Mubai made a sullen face and pointed to the palace not far away with a smile.
Xia Chu waited for him for a few steps, and then they left side by side.
After a while, Xia Chu saw the red vermilion-lacquered door, with a yellow golden nanmu plaque hanging on the top, with three large characters "Yu'an Palace" inscribed with dragons and phoenixes on it.
"Mr. Qiao." The maids in the palace came out early in the morning and bowed after meeting Xiao Mubai.
"Xizhi, why did you come out?" Xiao Mubai asked with raised eyebrows.
"The King has just sent someone to convey the message. The Queen has been waiting for a while and asked the servants to come out and wait." Xi Zhi responded respectfully.
Xiao Mubai nodded and entered the palace gate with Xia Chu.
Xi Zhi led them through the main palace and came to the garden of the dormitory.
Between the rockery and the flowing water, the mist is misty.
A woman with skin like snow, cheeks like pink clouds, and a willow waist that is not full of hand, is leaning gracefully on the carved wooden railing of the water pavilion.
In the glimmering water, the beauty of the country and the sky are vaguely illusory.
"Queen, Master Qiao is here." Xi Zhi called from the side.
The woman looked back and smiled after hearing the sound.
He moved his soft and tender hands towards Xiao Mubai, and the bright red kodan made his fingers look whiter.
Xiao Mubai led Xia Chu over, bowed to her, and called out: "Queen."
"Is this the Liang Sibai the emperor mentioned?" The queen nodded, then moved her gaze to Xia Chu's face and asked.
"Your Majesty passed the news very quickly, and I plan to introduce it myself." Xiao Mubai smiled.
"He saw your attentiveness and thought you might take her around, so he asked me to prepare first." The queen glanced at Xiao Mubai meaningfully, and said with a smile on her face.
Xia Chu heard that the queen was quite familiar with Xiao Mubai's tone of voice, and she didn't even use the honorific title "my palace".
"During this period of time, I have troubled the queen to take care of you." Xiao Mubai glanced at Xia Chu and asked the queen.
"Of course I will take care of your people." The queen nodded and agreed.
"Then I will go to discuss matters with the king first." Xiao Mubai said goodbye to the queen.
"Xizhi, send Mr. Qiao off." The queen ordered.
Xi Zhi said yes and led Xiao Mubai out of the palace.
When Xiao Mubai left, he passed by Xia Chu and mouthed the word "waiting for you".
Xia Chu took a silent breath and watched his figure until he disappeared around the corner.
"This is the first time that Mo Bai has fallen in love with a woman."
The queen's soft sigh came from behind Xia Chu. He was stunned for a while before he realized that she was talking about Qiao Mobai.
Xia Chu smiled slightly and replied to the queen: "Yes, we have a close friendship."
Not only is it a trivial matter, but our lives are all connected.
"Since it was entrusted by the king and him, you will bear it in my name. It just so happens that I have no children, and this Yu'an Palace is too clean." The queen took him to sit by the wooden railing and started chatting about daily life.
At the beginning of Xia, I saw the splendor of her generation, the fragrance of heaven and the beauty of the country.
Xu Shi has never given birth to a child, but her figure is still graceful and graceful.
Looking closely, he is only in his early thirties.
He originally wanted to ask why he had no heirs, but felt that this statement was inappropriate, so he swallowed it and said: "I have not had a mother since I was a child. If the queen will not give up, I am also very willing to marry her. This A mother-daughter bond."
"The woman Mo Bai likes is naturally very good. From now on, you will be my Princess Su Ran." The queen put her hand in her palm and patted the back of her hand gently.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Xia Chu smiled sweetly, and the pear vortex appeared, which was particularly pleasant.
"Su Ransheng has a pair of almond eyes and peach cheeks, and picturesque features. She must look very good when dressed up." The queen caressed her cheek and smiled.
"My mother has a divine appearance, she is graceful and luxurious. I just saw her for the first time in the corridor, and I thought she was a young girl from Pingting." Xia Chu's eyes were clear and her tone was sincere.
The queen was so coaxed that she covered her face and smiled, extremely happy.
"The Queen Mother seems to be quite familiar with Mo Bai?" It would be understandable to say that the King was his uncle, but the Queen and him were not related at all, which quite surprised Xia Chu.
"His mother and I are close friends." The queen was silent for a while, thinking carefully before speaking.
Seeing that she was talking about his mother and not his concubine, Xia Chu couldn't help but frowned and asked tentatively: "Does his mother mean Liang Suyin?"
The queen's face changed slightly when she heard this.
Even the King of Liang didn't know Xia Chu's specific identity, and the Queen naturally didn't know either.
So when she just answered Xia Chu, she still had reservations.
At this time, he was shocked when he heard her mention Liang Suyin's name, and told Xizhi, who had just returned, "Go down and guard first, don't let anyone disturb you."
When the queen saw Xi Zhi retreating, she looked at Xia Chu with fear and asked, "Did Mo Bai even tell you this?"
Xia Chu had no choice but to nod. There was no point in talking about it.
"I was born into the famous Pei family, and have been family friends with Suyin's mother's family, the Qiao family.
We have been friends since childhood and grew up together.
One day five years ago, the king brought Mobai to me.
Tell me, this is Suyin's child. It is recorded in the name of General Qiao. His name is Mobai and he is the third son.
Time flies, and I am afraid it will be difficult to see Suyin again in my lifetime.
But he didn't expect to be able to see her child. "The queen's expression fell into reminiscing about the past, and there was a little mist in her eyes.
"No wonder his mother treated him very kindly." Xia Chu suddenly realized.
"Mobai himself is also a lovable child. Since that year, he will live in Liangguo for a period of time every summer. During this time, he often goes to the palace to chat with me about daily life, and brings me some letters from Suyin to talk about. Comforting." When the queen talked about Xiao Mubai, she lost all her sorrow and thought, and a smile of relief appeared on her lips.
"It seems that the Queen Mother shares the same feelings with him as mother and son." Xia Chu nodded with a knowing smile.
But he was shocked in his heart. No wonder Xiao Mubai was able to open so many shops in Liangguo, and even Tinglan Shui Tower belonged to him.
It turns out that he lives in Liangguo every summer without anyone noticing
Not to mention that no one knew about it all these years, even in his previous life, he didn't know...
Xia Chu was still frightened. In his previous life, Xiao Yanjun regarded him as a savage beast, but he never dared to take action against him. This was really his wisest decision.
Fortunately, he hugged me early...
Then he thought about how he had "poofed" at Xiao Mubai just before he left.
cough.
He probably won't hold grudges...
