Chapter 316 Not biological

"Mubai?" Shen Chuhan frowned calmly, "What's wrong with Mu Bai?"

Xiao Zhuo hesitated for a moment, "Mubai...does he know the background of his subordinates?"

"I didn't deliberately mention it to him and Xuan Ying. They may not know that you are the son of the Murong family, but they know that you have a special background." Shen Chuhan looked at him and said lightly.

Xiao Zhuo lowered his head, with suspicion in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the puzzled expression on his face, Song Qinghuan took the initiative to speak, and her transparent eyes fell on his face.

Xiao Zhuo cleared his throat and seemed to be organizing his words. After a while, he hesitated and said, "I... saw Mu Bai appearing outside the Chenxiang Pavilion a few times. I thought he knew the relationship between Rongzheng and his subordinates, so Under the order of the young master, we will investigate."

When Shen Chuhan heard the words, his eyes wavered slightly, and there was an unpredictable look in his pupils.

Song Qinghuan was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, curled the corners of his lips in a smile that was not a smile, and there was a little stream of light in his eyes, "You said... Mu Bai has appeared outside Chenxiang Pavilion several times?

Xiao Zhuo nodded, seeing Song Qinghuan's strange expression, he hurriedly continued, "This subordinate has no other intentions, it's just... this subordinate doesn't really want to get involved with the Rong family, so I just wanted to ask, it's not that I have any doubts What Mubai meant."

Shen Chuhan let out a "hmm", with streams of light leaking out of the corners of his eyes, he said lazily, "You don't have to worry, Mubai's going to Chenxiang Pavilion has nothing to do with your business."

Xiao Zhuo blinked, then relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's my subordinates who think too much."

Song Qinghuan glanced at Shen Chuhan, knowing that he probably understood something.

If Mu Bai is really moved by Rong Zheng, Xiao Zhuo will know sooner or later.Instead of waiting until the day when the matter is exposed, it is better to take the initiative to explain it to him now, so as not to cause a rift between Xiao Zhuo and Mu Bai.

As she thought so, Lingling looked at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan had long been in the same mind, she just looked at it, Shen Chuhan understood what she wanted to say, nodded, indicating that she could speak.

Song Qinghuan turned to look at Xiao Zhuo, thinking about how to speak.

Xiao Zhuo raised his head, just in time to meet Song Qinghuan's earnest gaze, his long eyelashes trembled, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

As soon as he finished talking about the business, Xiao Zhuo returned to such a shy look, which is really interesting.

"Xiao Zhuo." She cleared her throat and opened her mouth.

After being named, Xiao Zhuo had no choice but to look up again, his eyes were still somewhat dodgy and uncomfortable.

Song Qing laughed happily, "Xiao Zhuo, I don't know if you have heard that, although I have known Azheng not long ago, we have a good relationship."

Xiao Zhuo nodded, last time when Rong Zheng was in danger in the alley, Mu Bai had mentioned this to him, that's why he thought Mu Bai was going to investigate Rong Zheng.

"I know, in terms of blood relationship, Ah Zheng...is actually your cousin."

Xiao Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and he nodded.

Song Qing sighed happily, "I've heard about the grievances between you and the Rong family. I've heard from Ashu. From the perspective of others, I have no right to say anything about it. After all, this is your own decision."

"Thank you, Princess, for understanding." Xiao Zhuo clasped his fists in salute, paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "This subordinate knows well that the past entanglements between my Murong family and the Rong family are actually the grievances of the previous generation. It involves the next generation. But...the subordinates really can't forgive them for being cruel and unfeeling back then, and it's impossible for them to treat Miss Rong as cousins ​​as if nothing happened."

After he finished speaking in one breath, his solemn tone slowed down, and he smiled at Song Qinghuan, "However, these are all personal grievances of this subordinate. This subordinate left Beijing when he was young, and has never met Miss Rong before. I have met Miss Rong a few times these days, but I have a good impression of her, the princess does not have to worry about making friends with Miss Rong because of her subordinates."

Xiao Zhuo is also a transparent person, knowing that the grievances between himself and the Rong family may make it difficult for Song Qinghuan, so he took the initiative to speak out.

Song Qing laughed happily, revealing a row of white teeth like rice grains, with a lazy look in the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you."

There was a pause, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "Then do you know why you saw Mu Bai appearing at the entrance of Chenxiang Pavilion?"

Xiao Zhuo looked puzzled.

If Mu Bai didn't go to Chenxiang Pavilion because of His Highness's order, then it means that he did it on his own initiative?

Can--

What reason does he have to go to Chenxiang Pavilion?
He knew that Mu Bai and Xuan Ying had been by Shen Chuhan's side for many years, they had always been loyal, and there was absolutely no reason to betray Shen Chuhan.Moreover, when Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan learned about this, although they were surprised, they were not annoyed.

So... why?

Although Xiao Zhuo is proficient in arranging troops and leading troops to fight, he is slow in emotional matters, so he can't think of that level.

Seeing his brows furrowed tightly and his face showing doubts, Song Qinghuan pursed his lips and smiled, Qingling said, "Of course, I'm just guessing, as long as you know it in your heart, let's keep it secret for now."

Hearing what Song Qinghuan said, Xiao Zhuo became more and more curious, and couldn't help raising his head to look at Song Qinghuan.

"The reason why Mubai went to Chenxiang Pavilion is probably because of Azheng."

Xiao Zhuo blinked, not quite understanding.

Isn't this obvious?The point is, if it wasn't for the request of His Highness and Princess, what would Xiao Zhuo do if he found Rong Zheng?
Is it a private matter?
Thinking of this, his eyes froze suddenly, as if he remembered something, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Song Qinghuan chuckled, "Guess it?"

Xiao Zhuo's Adam's apple twitched, calmed down the surprise in his eyes, Qi Qi Ai Ai said, "Could it be... Could it be that Mubai...he...is interested in Miss Rong?"

Song Qing laughed even more happily, picked up the teacup, rubbed it lightly with his fingertips, and said in a playful tone, "It's very good."

Xiao Zhuo was stunned.

Hearing Wang Hao's tone, he guessed it right?Mu Bai really fell in love with Rong Zheng?

Song Qinghuan winked mischievously at him, put her finger on her lips and let out a "shh", "Of course, this is my guess, if you ask Mu Bai, he will definitely not admit it so quickly. We just want to start Say hello to you, Mu Bai doesn't know about the relationship between A Zheng and you, if he really likes A Zheng in the future, I hope you don't mind."

Xiao Zhuo quickly waved his hand, "Of course not. The personal grievances between this subordinate and the Rong family should not involve others, and this subordinate will not have any thoughts about it. Please rest assured, Your Highness and Princess."

Shen Chuhan said "Mmm", "I know you are not such a small-bellied person, and I am telling you now, just to prepare you first, and if this happens one day, you won't be too surprised."

Xiao Zhuo smiled honestly, "Yes, what His Highness said is reasonable."

Seeing his frank smile, Song Qinghuan sighed slightly.

It is really rare for Xiao Zhuo to have a sincere heart.Not extreme, not bigoted, daring to love and hate, shy personality and very pleasing, any girl who marries him in the future will definitely live a very happy life.

It's just that, as Shen Chuhan said, he has not avenged his family now, so he probably doesn't have the heart to think about it.

They chatted casually for a few more words, it was inconvenient for Xiao Zhuo to disturb the two of them too much, and the Iron Armored Guard still had something to deal with, so he didn't stay long, took his leave and left.

Sending someone to send him out of the mansion, Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan also left the front hall and walked towards Yaohua Courtyard.

"I didn't expect Mu Bai to be really proactive." Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to hold Shen Chuhan's arm, and leaned lazily on his body.

"Not enough." Shen Chuhan said in a cool voice.

"Not enough?" Song Qinghuan looked at him sideways, puzzled.

"Ah Wan didn't hear what Xiao Zhuo said just now, that he met Mu Bai outside the Chenxiang Pavilion, that is to say, he might not have gone into the shop, only dared to look around from afar."

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, and said in a delicate voice, "You think everyone is you? Take it by stealth."

After finishing speaking, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Shen Chuhan's mouth, and he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Song Qinghuan horizontally.

"ah."

Song Qinghuan exclaimed, and was so frightened that he hurriedly put his arms around his neck, glaring and angry, "Jun Shu, what are you doing?"

Shen Chuhan smiled, his eyes were gloomy, with a little jumping spark, "Didn't Ah Wan say that I took it by chance? Then I will show you by it."

As he spoke, he carried her in his arms and strode towards the Yaohua Courtyard.

Along the way, many maids and servants looked sideways, covering their mouths and laughing.

Song Qinghuan blushed with shame, and beat Shen Chuhan's chest with his hands, but it was in vain. Being watched all the way, his face flushed with shame, so he could only bury his head on Shen Chuhan's chest, shrinking back to avoid those gazes.

Shen Chuhan lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, "Ah Wan seems to like being a matchmaker very much recently? It seems that I let you be too idle, and I have to make you busy."

What he said was serious, but his tone was a bit frivolous and suggestive. Song Qinghuan felt his whole body burning, raised his head and said, "Why do I like being a matchmaker? Isn't it just about Mubai?"

"Just now you mentioned Xuanying? Aren't you talking about Xuanying and Liuyue?" Shen Chuhan's smile became more and more frivolous, and his gaze fell on Song Qinghuan's half-opened skirt.

Seeing his wolf-like eyes, Song Qinghuan hurriedly closed his clothes, and said vigilantly, "Blue sky and white sun, what do you want to do?"

Seeing her guarded face, Shen Chuhan smiled softly, "Seeing that you have been quite free recently, you have time to care about the lifelong affairs of my subordinates, how about...you care about me first?"

As he said that, with the wind blowing under his feet, he hugged Song Qinghuan and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant, leaving only Song Qinghuan's exclamation echoing in the air.

*
After a few days, Song Qinghuan was free, because Shen Chuhan was away on business, she was bored in the mansion, so she thought about going out for a stroll.

Hearing that she was going to go out, Liuyue looked very happy, busy making preparations for her.

Song Qinghuan picked out a pair of seawater jade pearl earrings from the dowry box and put them on. Looking at the beaming moon behind her from the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but curled the corners of her mouth, "It's just going out of the house, how can I be so happy with you?" Is it the same as Chinese New Year?"

Liu Yue pursed her lips in embarrassment, and put away the blooming smile on her face.

Song Qinghuan looked back, thought for a while, turned to look at Shen Xing and ordered, "Go and see if Mu Bai is in the mansion, if he is, let him accompany me out of the mansion."

Shen Xing led the order to retreat.

After Song Qinghuan finished dressing, she stood up, and Liu Yue came up to help her arrange her clothes, and said with a smile on her face, "Your Highness is leaving the palace today, where do you want to go?"

"Stroll around." Song Qinghuan said, "By the way... go to the Chenxiang Pavilion."

Liuyue let out an "oh", without thinking too much.

After a while, Shen Xing came back and said that Mu Bai was in the mansion and the carriage was already prepared for the meeting.

After tidying up, Song Qinghuan took Liuyue Shenxing out.

Walking out of the palace, he saw Mu Bai was already waiting beside the carriage, when he saw them coming out, he came forward to greet Song Qinghuan and saluted, "Young Madam."

Song Qinghuan nodded with a "hmm", her smiling eyes swept across his face, the corners of her lips meaningfully curled up, and she lifted the curtain and got into the car.

Mu Bai was puzzled by her smile, but he didn't want to ask too many questions. He jumped on the shaft of the car, looked into the car and asked, "Where does Young Madam want to go?"

"Go to the Chenxiang Pavilion." Song Qinghuan lifted the curtain with a clear voice.

Mu Bai was slightly taken aback, then quickly lowered his head, and said yes, "Young Madam, sit still." After saying that, he raised his horsewhip and drove the chariot towards Chenxiang Pavilion.

Song Qinghuan withdrew his hand, and the curtain fell.

Thinking of Mu Bai's stunned moment, Song Qinghuan couldn't help curling the corners of her lips, a flash of light flashed in her eyes.

Chenxiang Pavilion is not too far from Prince Han's Mansion, and the carriage stopped after a while.

Song Qinghuan raised the curtain and took a look, the gold-lettered signboard of Chenxiang Pavilion was shining brightly in the sun, and there seemed to be many customers in the store.

Liu Yue and Shen Xing got out of the car, opened the curtain and invited her down.

"Young Madam, then this subordinate will go to park the car first." Mu Bai looked at her and said.

"Let Shen Xing go, you go in with me." Song Qinghuan said lightly.

When the words fell, the three of them were all suspicious.

Well done, why did His Highness ask Shen Xing to park the car?

Liu Yue was about to ask a question, but Shen Xing rushed to answer in front of her, took the whip from Mu Bai, looked at her with a smile, "Mubai, there are many people in the store, so I can protect His Highness."

Saying that, he nodded to Song Qing with a smile, jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, and drove the carriage to the side alley.

Song Qinghuan looked at the back of the carriage leaving, with a faint smile on his lips.

Shen Xing is really a good-natured person, looking at her appearance, maybe he guessed something?

She withdrew her gaze, cleared her throat, and looked at Liu Yue and Mu Bai with a smile, "Let's go, go in and have a look, I don't know if Azheng is here today."

When speaking, Qing Ling's eyes swept across Mu Bai's face meaningfully, and the eyes were shining with stars.

For some reason, Mu Bai always felt that her gaze had some deep meaning, which made him feel guilty, and subconsciously avoided her gaze.

Song Qinghuan twitched her lips and walked into the store.

Mu Bai and Liu Yue also followed.

The store is quite lively today, three or four women who look like young ladies from aristocratic families are carrying spices accompanied by Xiaoer, a room full of Yingying and Yanyan, with fragrant clothes and shadows on their temples.

The shopkeeper behind the counter, who was doing the accounting, heard the movement and looked up. Seeing the guest, he hurriedly greeted him. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he lowered his voice and said hesitantly, "Wang... Princess Wang?"

When Song Qinghuan came to Chenxiang Pavilion before, he had a face-to-face meeting with the shopkeeper, unexpectedly...he recognized her.

She nodded, "Is Miss Rong here?"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "Yes, the third lady is upstairs, please come with the princess."

Song Qinghuan didn't make it public the last few times he came here, and Rongzheng probably greeted him, so the shopkeeper's speech was very cautious, and he quietly led Song Qinghuan upstairs without disturbing others.

Mu Bai hesitated a bit, wondering whether he should follow or not.

Song Qinghuan looked back and smiled at him, "Mubai, you can come too."

Only then did Mu Bai follow up.

Upstairs, the shopkeeper led Song Qinghuan and his party to stop in front of the innermost room, raised his hand and knocked on the door and said, "Miss, Concubine Han is here."

"The concubine is here?" Rong Zheng's pleasant and surprised voice came from the room, and soon, the door was opened, revealing Rong Zheng's surprised face.

Willow leaf eyebrows, hibiscus face, elegant and transparent temperament, curved eyes, with a sense of agility, like a spring breeze blowing by.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Song Qinghuan felt that there seemed to be a touch of sadness in her eyes.

"Azheng." Song Qinghuan focused her thoughts, and called out with eyebrows bent.

"Princess!" Rong Zheng was full of surprise, "Why are you free today?"

"I've been back for a few days, and I happen to be free today, so I came to see you."

"Quick, come in!" Rong Zheng hurriedly made way sideways and invited a few people into the room.

When Mu Bai passed in front of her, he felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head.

On the other hand, Rong Zheng was a little surprised, and said in a low voice, "Master Mu Bai?"

Hearing a clear and pleasant voice, Mu Bai raised his head and smiled at Rong Zheng, "Miss Rong." But in just three words, a blush rose from the base of his ears.

Rong Zheng also pursed his lips and smiled, without thinking too much, motioned for the shopkeeper to bring tea, then closed the door and entered the room.

"Princess, sit down." Rong Zheng saluted Song Qinghuan and invited her to take a seat.

Liu Yue and Mu Bai stood by the window and waited knowingly, not disturbing her two.

"Princess, please wait a moment." Rong Zheng smiled embarrassedly at Song Qinghuan, and began to pack up the medicinal materials and utensils on the table.

This room was set aside separately for Rongzheng's fragrance. It is elegantly and exquisitely furnished, exuding a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Song Qinghuan signaled her not to worry and take her time, while she admired the furnishings in the room.

Seeing this, Liu Yue also came up to tidy up, but after a while, she vacated a few sides.Just at this time, there was a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper's voice came in, "Miss, the tea is here."

"Come in."

The door came at the sound, and the shopkeeper walked in, followed by Shen Xing.

The shopkeeper put down the teapot and teacups, and went out again.

Shen Xing greeted Rong Zheng, and quietly stood aside with Liu Yue Mu Bai.

"I heard that the princess went to Yu Country a few days ago?" Rong Zheng raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Song Qinghuan, and said softly.

Song Qinghuan took it, thanked her with a nod, and vaguely said, "Yeah, I originally planned to go back to Jian'an, but recently, the country of Yu is not peaceful, and I turned back when I came to the border."

Hearing the melancholy in her voice, knowing that she probably thought of Emperor Yu who passed away, Rong Zheng nodded without asking any further questions, and said softly, "Siren has passed away, and the princess must take care of her health." It is."

Song Qing laughed happily, and looked up at her, "I have nothing to say in the past two months, what about you? Why do I feel that you seem to have lost a lot?"

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Rongzheng's mouth faded a little, and he said in a calm voice, "Really? Maybe it's because I haven't had a good appetite recently."

Song Qinghuan frowned, sensitively aware that things didn't seem so simple, and suppressed his smile, said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Rong Zheng raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes fluttered, his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if hesitant.

Song Qinghuan said softly, "If something really happens, just tell me and see if I can help you."

Seeing her sincerity, Rong Zheng's heart warmed up, he sighed and said, "Originally, these family matters should not be brought out to bother the princess, but I really don't know who else to talk to, please don't take offense to the princess. "

Seeing a dark look between her brows and eyes, and all kinds of melancholy in the willow leaves, Song Qinghuan couldn't help but straighten her face, "What happened to your family?"

Logically, it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise, Mu Bai would also get wind of it.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced sideways at Mu Bai.

But Mu Bai was staring blankly at Rong Zheng, his brows were knotted, his eyes were dark, as if he was thinking about something.He was always vigilant, even Song Qinghuan didn't notice when he looked at him.

Song Qinghuan couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Mu Bai really fell into it.

She turned her gaze back to Rongzheng, waiting for her to speak.

Rongzheng adjusted his thoughts, and for a moment, a wry smile appeared on his lips, and he opened his mouth with bitterness in his voice, "Maybe the princess doesn't know that when I was young, there were rumors in the house that... I am The son of the outer room that father brought back from outside."

Song Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat, she was all right, why did she mention this all of a sudden?
Before he could figure it out, Rongzheng's voice rang in his ears again, "At that time when the rumors spread to Dad, Dad was furious and severely punished all the servants who chewed their tongues, so the rumors were suppressed." Go on. In addition, my mother is very kind to me, so I didn't take this matter to heart."

Having said that, her voice paused, and her voice became colder, "But recently I discovered that I might...was really not born by my parents."

　The rewards for Xiaoxiang Yixin and Liuli Qianyu have been distributed.
