It’s a pity that Hua Xin didn’t get to have lunch.

She was already a little hungry, and when she heard that Queen Nangong Boya had sent a waiter to invite her, she could only sigh helplessly.

He said he wanted to discuss marriage with her, but everyone knew why, it was just an excuse.

I just wanted to hear from her own mouth about Nangong Ziqiu's situation.

Hua Xin thought, if that's the case, why not take advantage of the situation and invite Pei Run along as well. After all, he is the Minister of Rites of the Great Xia Kingdom, and he must know all the details of the marriage, and can help with planning and control the overall situation.

However, before leaving for the palace, Hua Xin was still thinking about two other people - Mo Chuli and Song Guanqing.

Since she had just arrived in Nanxun, she seemed to have no time to take care of them, so she specifically asked Nangong Ziqiu to go and visit them.

Nangong Ziqiu naturally agreed happily. After all, he would become Hua Xin's legitimate son-in-law in the near future. Thinking of this, he became more and more happy.

However, we are now in the palace, so we need to be careful with our words and actions.

Nangong Ziqiu first came to Mo Chuli's residence, opened the door and saw that he was sitting by the window reading a book leisurely. He couldn't help but teased, "You really know how to enjoy yourself!"

"Brother Zi Qiu." Upon hearing the voice, Mo Chuli hurriedly put down the book in his hand, stood up and saluted.

This action made Nangong Ziqiu somewhat confused and puzzled.

"We just met last night. Why are you suddenly so distant with me?" Nangong Ziqiu asked with a frown.

Nangong Ziqiu walked over and subconsciously glanced at the book Mo Chuli was reading.

"'Collection of Herbs', isn't this a medical book? When did you become interested in this?"

Mo Chuli quickly closed the book and said, "I just flipped through it when I had nothing to do."

Nangong Ziqiu followed him and stopped reading the book. He poured himself a cup of tea.

"Huh? Why don't you have a waiter here?"

Nangong Ziqiu discovered that from the time he walked in till now, he had not seen a single waiter serving him.

"I like quietness, so I asked them all to leave."

Nangong Ziqiu laughed when he heard this: "I see you are not used to it. Do you think they are very different from the people of Daxia?"

Mo Chuli looked Nangong Ziqiu up and down, shook his head and said, "I feel it's okay. After all, there are eunuchs in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the difference is not big. I will treat them as almost the same people."

Nangong Ziqiu nodded and said, "You are right. But why were you staring at me just now?"

Mo Chuli smiled for the first time and said, "Because I think Brother Ziqiu is different from them. In fact, I didn't think you were from Nanxun Country at the beginning."

"Of course." Nangong Ziqiu suddenly thought of something and patted Mo Chuli's shoulder. "You called me second brother the other day, why are you calling me brother Ziqiu today?"

Mo Chuli looked embarrassed: "Second brother, I just never thought that your status is so noble."

"Hey, so good! It's just the identity of a prince, what's so precious about it? The national conditions of our two countries are different. The prince of Nanxun has almost no status. It's all a means to win people's hearts."

There was disdain in Nangong Ziqiu's eyes when he said this.

"Don't be sad, brother. Everything will be fine when we get back."

"Well, I knew you were the best behaved. No wonder Xinxin always wanted to protect you."

Nangong Ziqiu drank the tea in one gulp and prepared to leave. "Oh, by the way, why don't you pack up and follow me? We can have dinner together later!"

"Where's Xinxin?"

"She's gone to see the Queen, so she definitely can't have lunch with us."

"Empress? Shouldn't you call her 'mother'?" Mo Chuli saw that Nangong Ziqiu was a little unhappy, and knew that he had said something wrong, so he said, "I said too much, okay, I'll go with you."

"It's okay, but I always call her 'Queen' or 'Your Majesty' in private. Family affection is a luxury in the royal family of Nanxun."

Mo Chuli didn't say anything more after hearing this. The two of them walked out of the door and all the way to Song Guanqing's residence.

Bai Zhu was guarding the door. He saw someone coming from afar. After seeing who it was, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Master Nangong, oh no, Your Highness, the young master is fine."

Bai Zhu is not stupid. Nangong Ziqiu made a high-profile appearance yesterday, so even if he was shocked, he had to acknowledge the other party's identity.

"Bai Shu, don't be nervous. Just call me the same as before."

Nangong Ziqiu found Bai Zhu's face very serious and found it a little funny. He could understand why Hua Xin tried so hard to hold back her laughter when she saw him at the welcoming banquet yesterday.

"That won't do. The master said that he didn't know the identity of the prince before, but now that he knows, he can't be negligent. Please come in, both of you!"

Sure enough, when they went in, Song Guanqing and Bai Xi greeted them again.

"I'll say this once. You guys should remain the same as before. When I follow you back, I will no longer be the crown prince." Nangong Ziqiu was a little helpless.

Song Guanqing said, "The existing identity will not change because of the different environment you are in. It's just that after you go back with us, you will have an additional identity with Huahua."

Nangong Ziqiu raised his eyebrows slightly. Why did he feel that Song Guanqing had something else in mind? However, seeing that he looked calm, he felt that he was overthinking.

"Xinxin said she would help you with your treatment for three years. Now half of that time has not yet passed. Please take care of me in the future."

Song Guan was a little surprised after listening to it: "You are too polite. In the future, we will all live in the princess's mansion, so we should take care of each other. Although I can't see now, I can walk more freely. I hope Master Nangong will not be too polite."

"Since we are going to live together in the future, you should stop calling me 'Young Master Nangong' and just call me Zi Qiu."

"Okay, Zi Qiu, you can just call me Guan Qing. It's not appropriate to call him 'Mr.' all the time."

"Then we can all call each other by our first names from now on. What do you think, Chuli?"

"I'll listen to my brothers." Since Mo Chuli was the youngest, he just had to obey them.

The three of them simply had their meal at Song Guanqing's residence, while Hua Xin was having dinner in Nangong Boya's Fengxi Hall.

Even after finally taking a bite, she still had to talk. Hua Xin felt that the more she ate, the hungrier she became.

"What do you think, Xinxin?"

"Ah? I'll just follow your Majesty's instructions."

In fact, Hua Xin didn't hear what Nangong Boya was saying. Her attention was all on the crystal pork elbow. It was so fragrant and delicious, but she couldn't eat it in big mouthfuls in front of these people. What a pity.

Also, in just a short while, she has changed from "Princess" to "Xinxin".

But then again, if Nangong Ziqiu marries her in the future, then she will naturally be Nangong Boya's "daughter-in-law"?
