Facing Qin Mu's father and son who suddenly appeared, Chu Xue used the willpower of her whole body to stabilize her mood and did not appear unusual, Qin Mu knew the truth earlier, and naturally he was calm enough, but Qin Yuan ......

Qin Yuan stood fixedly, looking at the girl in front of him in surprise.

Although all this time had passed, he still remembered what she looked like when she was a child, and when he saw her now, he almost recognized her intuitively.

Besides, the maid who followed her was not Nan Feng?

It's really her!

Wenwen!

You're actually ...... Still alive!

Nine years have passed, and she has grown up, and she is more beautiful than when she was a child, like a stunning beauty.

But how did you end up here? Why retreat behind King Heng?

Qin Yuan had too many questions, and eagerly hoped that anyone who knew would tell him the answer, but before he could sort out the mess of thoughts, Chu Jian hurriedly said: "Since the distinguished guests have arrived, and the wine and food have been prepared at home, please go to the front hall and sit down." ”

"Good, good!"

Qin Mu could understand his son's feelings at this moment, but if he didn't remind him again, he would probably cause everyone to be confused, so he hurriedly responded to Chu Jian's words, took a step forward in front of Qin Yuan, leaned over slightly, and said politely to Song Chen: "Your Highness, please first!" ”

But even if others didn't see the difference, Song Chen saw Qin Yuan's momentary stunned when he saw Chu Xue, although he was slightly unhappy, but it was understandable that his Xue'er was a rare beauty in the world, and even he was amazed when he first saw it, let alone a young man like Qin Yuan?

But no matter what anyone else does, this is already his woman.

Song Chen turned his head to Chu Xue and said, "This king will go over first, and then he will have dinner and go back to the house together?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Xue tried her best to make her smile look natural, nodded and said, "The concubine is waiting for the prince." ”

Song Chen led the male guests to the front hall.

Chu Xue hurriedly turned around, turned her back to the direction of the men, and walked quickly back to the room just now.

Since the moment he saw Chu Xue, Qin Yuan's mind has been muddy, although he has never seen the young lady of the Chu family, he can conclude that it is Wenwen, why are the people of the Chu family so indifferent? Even his father Qin Mu was not surprised, it was obviously Wenwen, although after so many years, her appearance has not changed much, even if there are changes, she is more and more like her mother-in-law, the former Mrs. Yue!

However, why is she by King Heng's side and still calls herself a concubine to King Heng?

Could it be that the Miss Chu family, who married King Heng, is the rumored and favored concubine of King Heng, who is Wenwen?

He looked at his father, who was chatting and laughing with the other guests, and was shocked again, could it be that his father already knew?

The male guests who came to celebrate his father's birthday did not bring female dependents, and Chu Xue used lunch with her mother and sister-in-law and nephew, so she didn't have to eat and drink, so it was not so troublesome, and lunch ended quickly. Sister-in-law Sun Zishi took her two nephews back to the room to rest, and Chu Xue talked to her mother about herself.

Mrs. Chu knew that Fang Cai's surprise touched her deeply, and she was afraid that Song Chen would notice it if she went back, so she instructed: "The past has passed, don't think too much." ”

She nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked again: "Mother, has Uncle Qin Mu's family been in the capital all along?" ”

The mother sighed and said, "Yes, I heard that there have been eight . It's been nine years. ”

Eight. Nine years?

In other words, since she came to the capital, the Qin family has also moved over, and she and Brother Qin Yuan have been in the same city for so many years, and they have never seen each other.

That's right, she smiled sadly in her heart, the child of the Yue family should have died, wasn't she the daughter of the Chu family a long time ago?

Therefore, she has no reason or chance to meet Brother Qin Yuan!

So the Qin family never knew where they were before.

She thought for a while, and then asked, "Uncle Qin Mu didn't have a surprise when he saw me today, did he already know?" ”

Mother nodded and responded, "Yes, I know, since you went to the palace banquet for Princess Heng last year, he came to ask your father, and your father has already told him all." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xue did not panic, her father must have his own arrangements, she doesn't have to worry too much, besides, she can trust Uncle Qin Mu's character, but Qin Yuan's brother ......

The mother said again: "The Qin family should be the only General Qin himself who knows about this, and that Qin Gongzi probably doesn't know." ”

Chu Xue was silent, but she knew how, and she didn't know what to do?

Since the accident in her Yue's family, it has been impossible for her and Qin Yuan, although she is still alive, she is no longer Yue Wen, and she can't go back to Yue Wen, so in the days when she was hiding in the deep boudoir, she never dared to fantasize about a relationship with Qin Yuan.

At that hurried glance just now, she found that Brother Qin Yuan had grown into a torch youth, although there was still a shadow of his childhood, but if they suddenly met on the street, she was afraid that she would not recognize it. Brother Qin Yuan is about the same age as his brother Yue Zhi, if his brother is still alive, he should be that kind of talent......

Seeing that she was distracted, her mother thought that she was still thinking about Qin Yuan in her heart, so she took her hand and said seriously, "Xue'er, you are now a person from King Heng, although the child of the Qin family is good, but ...... It's no longer possible......"

She looked at her mother with a smile, shook her head and said, "Mother don't worry, I'm not thinking about that, since I was a child, my daughter has always regarded Brother Qin Yuan as an elder brother." Lord Wang, he is very good to me, and I have no second heart for him. ”

Yes, if you are already in love with him, how can you have two hearts?

"Is Brother Qin Yuan married?" She asked her mother curiously.

Seeing that she denied her worries, her mother also relieved herself and said, "No, I heard that it is also a person who is bent on business, and he has not yet decided on marriage, but it seems that he is not very old, only twenty-one?" There's no need to be in a hurry. ”

"Oh." She nodded, and she missed it in the end.

But when she met Song Chen, she was satisfied.

As if a dazzling light suddenly rose in a gloomy day, he gave her a man's powerful care, tenderness and sweet love, which illuminated the years of her afterlife, and she couldn't help but pray greedily that his heart was a sun that never sets, not a fleeting meteor.

After talking to her mother, the banquet in the front hall was almost finished, and Song Chen sent a message to take her back to the house, so she straightened her appearance and went out of the room.

After the palace change, Yanzhou probably doesn't have to go back, as long as she is in the capital, she will always have the opportunity to meet her relatives, so there is no heavy sorrow in this farewell.

The host and the guests sent each other off, and Song Chen still took her by the hand and helped her into the carriage, although this was a usual action, but today she was a little awkward, because among the people who sent them were Uncle Qin Mu and Brother Qin Yuan.

Before the curtain was lowered, her gaze unintentionally swept in the direction of the Qin family's father and son, Qin Mu's eyes were full of distress, but Qin Yuan's eyes were full of surprise, amazement and loss. Her heart was shocked, and the car was already moving forward.

Midsummer has passed, and the weather is beginning to cool down. The gauze curtain on the car was replaced with a yellow silk curtain symbolizing imperial power, and after driving for a while, Song Chen pulled her closer and hugged her to his lap.

There was a smell of wine on him, and he must have drunk a lot of wine just now, and she remembered the previous situation, and became a little vigilant, so that she tried not to stick to his body.

"Why are you sitting so straight? Why don't you lean over? Well? He looked at her with a hint of banter in his eyes.

She knew that he saw through his intentions, but she didn't want to find out, lest he take advantage of the situation to bully herself again, so she only made an excuse: "It's a little hot." ”

Song Chen smiled, didn't refute her again, only hugged her waist, lowered his head, and went straight to kiss her.

She was startled, and wanted to struggle, but she was afraid that she would struggle more and more like the previous times, so she had to follow him first, let him entangle for a while, and wait for him to leave a little before she whispered: "Lord, it's daytime......"

"What's wrong with the day, can't you kiss it?" Song Chen pressed her forehead and asked hoarsely.

Although he had drunk, his mind was still clear, and he still had a lot of things to deal with, and he didn't want to mess around in the car, but he was just tempted and wanted to pity his beauty.

Seeing that he didn't make any further moves, Chu Xue relaxed a little, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Is the prince thirsty?" Just now, the concubine made a sobering soup, do you want to drink it? ”

As he spoke, he pretended to look for the soup cup.

Song Chen caught up with her and said in her ear: "Don't be so nervous, you really just want to kiss it." ”

The warm smell of wine brushed her earlobe, she was a little itchy, and when she heard him so gentle, she had to blush and bow her head and hum, and didn't say anything more.

But I heard him add another sentence in his ear, "Wait for the evening, and then I will ask for you." ”

~~

Seeing off King Heng, the guests on the Chu Mansion also withdrew.

In the carriage of the Qin family, Qin Yuan looked at his father, and finally couldn't help but say, "Dad......"

Qin Mu raised his hand to stop his words, "This is not the place to talk, wait until you return home." ”

Qin Yuan frowned and nodded.

When they returned to their home, the father and son simply greeted Mrs. Qin, and entered the study one after the other.

"Dad, you already knew, didn't you? Wenwen is still alive? Why did she become the young lady of the Chu family? Why did she marry King Heng? Also, you said that we want to support King Heng, is it also for Wenwen? ”

Qin Yuan poured out all the doubts in his heart in one go, and waited for Qin Mu to solve his doubts.

Qin Mu's face was dark, he sighed, and finally told his son the truth he knew.

After hearing this, Qin Yuan was surprised and silent.

He didn't know that Wenwen had gone through so much in escaping death, he didn't know what kind of life she had lived in the eight years she had hidden in the Chu family, he could imagine the despair and horror in her heart when a young girl faced the tragic death of her family, he missed too much.

They are in the same capital, the two mansions are only half an hour apart, but for eight years, they haven't seen each other, he has passed by the street outside the Chu Mansion countless times, but he never thought that in that deep mansion, there lived the person he dreamed of......

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Qin Mu persuaded: "Nian Xiu, if you miss it, you miss it, it's not easy for Wenwen to survive, you have to keep your mind from now on, her current identity doesn't allow you to think about it anymore." ”

Who she is now......

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Even if the sky wants us to miss it, but she shouldn't marry King Heng as a concubine, Wenwen, how can she be a concubine?" ”

Isn't this Qin Mu's sore spot, Qin Mu sighed again, and said: "The Chu family was also forced to do so in the past, otherwise with Lord Chu's character, how could he be willing to let his daughter be a concubine?" But then again, once King Heng ascends the throne in the future, Wenwen will be a noble princess, and her status at that time will be unmatched by few people. ”

Qin Mu looked at Qin Yuan and continued: "Also, it is not difficult to see today that the rumors in the market are all true, and King Heng is indeed very fond of Wenwen......"

"So what?" For the first time in his life, Qin Yuan interrupted his father's words, and he said bitterly: "He will be a king, which king will be dedicated to his life?" ”

Wenwen, who he carefully placed in his heart, should not bear the fate of being left out and empathized.

Fate is so unfair, what some people have at their fingertips, but others look up to forever.
