Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

The servants looked at Shi Zhun's submissive expression, which was completely different from before.

After the song ended, Ran Qianxi handed the pipa to Shi Zhun.

"Play one for me."

Shi Zhun was stunned. How could he play the pipa?

"I?"

"Yes, yes, play one."

Unable to persuade her, and unable to bear to see her disappointed, Shi Zhun had no choice but to take the pipa.

The sound of the pipa was obviously much stronger than her own playing, not as good as a professional, but not to the point of being torturous.

Ran Qianxi savored it carefully.

"Hmm... it doesn't sound good, not as good as I play it."

Shi Zhun broke into a smile, looking at her with indescribable joy.

"Does the emperor of Dachang favor you?"

Ran Qianxi was stunned and immediately confused. Why did they talk about this?

"Ah? It's not that bad..."

Shi Zhun smiled, having fully guessed that she would be the only one favored.

"He must love you very much. If it were me, I would love you very much too."

Ran Qianxi came forward with a curious attitude.

"why?"

"Because you're different."

Ran Qianxi seemed to understand, but she also understood a thing or two.

"I see. You all like the food from the market because you are used to the good food."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Shi Zhun burst into laughter. He was probably already 70% of Baili Yong's mood at that time.

"It's possible."

Ran Qianxi did not leave until dusk, so Shi Zhun ordered people to prepare dinner.

It was almost midnight when Shi Huan came over and saw Ran Qianxi playing chess with Shi Zhun.

"Wait a minute, don't get down here, or I won't be able to leave."

Shi Zhun smiled faintly and actually changed his position.

"Yes, yes, I can still walk a few steps if you get down here."

Shi Huan looked at the two of them, who looked like a couple in love, and felt jealous.

"Father!"

Shi Zhun turned his head slightly, then turned his head back and made another move.

"Don't regret your move this time."

"No, no, please let me go."

Shi Zhun smiled and changed his position anyway.

"For the last time~"

Ran Qianxi nodded frantically.

"Good good."

Looking at the scene before him, Shi Huan felt that even if he sent her back to Baili Yong, it would not be as terrifying as becoming his own mother.

Shi Huan turned around dejectedly, and was suddenly stopped by Shi Zhun.

"What are you going for?"

Ran Qianxi just realized there was someone at the door, so she looked up.

"Yun Shuang? Why are you standing there?"

After saying that, he stood up and walked over.

"Are you looking for me because it's getting late?"

"It's a bit late..."

Ran Qianxi smiled gently, and Shi Zhun spoke first.

"Take her back quickly. I have been in a state of chaos for the past few hours."

Shi Huan bowed.

"Son, resign."

After the two men left, Shi Zhun looked disappointed. Even though she was her son's beloved, she had already thought about her status.

"The flowers are so numerous that they dazzle the eyes."

Shi Huan took her back to his courtyard and hesitated to ask her something.

"You and Father..."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows.

"What about me and him?"

Shi Huan smiled lightly.

"Nothing, there are guests coming tomorrow, I'll take you with me."

"okay."

The next day at noon -

Ran Qianxi ran to the kitchen to find food. She got up late and missed breakfast, and she couldn't wait for dinner, so she could only eat lunch.

"Tsk, I kind of want to eat chicken."

She searched everywhere, not knowing why, like a thief, and suddenly Shi Zhun walked in.

"hungry?"

Ran Qianxi looked back and was stunned, wondering why he appeared at this place at this time.

"A little bit, it's late, but why are you here?"

"There were guests arriving in the afternoon, so I came to the dining room to check it out myself, and I happened to see you sneaking around in the kitchen."

Ran Qianxi was puzzled.

"What guests? Yun Shuang also said that last night."

Shi Zhun glanced at her.

"Didn't Huaner tell you?"

"No."

Shi Zhun turned around and rummaged around in the kitchen, and found a roast chicken.

"Eat this."

Ran Qianxi's eyes lit up!

"How do you know I want to eat roast chicken?"

"I don't know. This is all I have now."

Ran Qianxi took it happily and broke off a chicken leg for him.

"One for each person."

Shi Zhun smiled faintly, looking at the unexpressible complexity in her eyes.

"Eat it yourself."

Ran Qianxi went out holding the chicken, and he followed her as if possessed by some mysterious force.

The wind gently blew her hair, and he raised his hand hesitantly. Ran Qianxi suddenly turned around, and the strands of hair on her forehead were blown a little messy.

"You haven't told me who the guest is yet."

Shi Zhun smiled and raised his hand to touch her hair. She swallowed her saliva instantly.

"My God...you are so beautiful..."

Shi Zhun still smiled faintly.

"It should be someone you know."

After saying this, he calmly embraced her and kissed her on the lips.

In the afternoon, Ran Qianxi's first destination was the meeting room. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Liu Xun's indifferent and cold side, and a handsome man she didn't know.

"Uncle-in-law!"

She shouted, and everyone turned their heads, quickly ran over and jumped into Liu Xun's arms, forgetting their identities completely.

Liu Xun's pupils dilated slightly and he hugged her tightly. Hong Fan's eyes were instantly filled with longing.

"Xier..."

"Uncle, do you miss me?"

Liu Xun couldn't let go of her hair.

“I think about it every day.”

Ran Qianxi gently let him go.

"How did you know I was here?"

Liu Xun was still touching her hair with longing.

"I actually don't know. I found some clues while investigating the kidnappers, so I came to Nanyue to ask."

"I heard from the Third Prince that a woman bought the murder. I wonder which concubine it was."

Liu Xun was a little hesitant. The imperial prison had already received news. The second blind man revealed that Zuoqiu Ruan'er was the mastermind behind the scenes.

"I'm glad you're okay. This is all thanks to Young Master Hong."

Ran Qianxi turned her head to look at Hong Fan. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. She moved closer and stared at him for a while. He leaned back slightly, looking handsome and charming.

"Mom! Is that you, kid?!"

Hong Fan smiled happily.

"You can still recognize it."

Ran Qianxi patted his shoulder.

"Sure, you're getting more and more handsome. Do you have a wife?"

Hong Fan smiled, as if he had swallowed his sadness.

"Just got married a year ago."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows, with no good intentions.

"How is the wife? Is she plump? Is she gentle? The key is whether she will fight..."

"You're not as good at fighting as me."

"Haha."

Ran Qianxi laughed a few times.

"I had no choice at the time. I would not have participated in group fights a long time ago."

Hong Fan's eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at her as if she were his wife.

"Then why are you here, newlywed?"

"Master Liu said you were lost, so I was worried."

"It's okay. I'm lucky. I was rescued by the Third Prince as soon as I left the city."

After chatting for a while, Shi Zhun and Shi Huan came over.

The father and son originally wanted to wait for a while before calling Ran Qianxi, but they didn't expect that she couldn't resist her curiosity and came first.

"Master Liu."

"King Nanyue."

The two of them first greeted each other, followed by a round of greetings.
