Chapter 485 Now that we are here

This question really stumped Xu Muhua.

She was silent for a while before looking up at Pei Shaorong, saying seriously and solemnly, "Arong, there are some things I can't tell you now. I have my sources. But there is one thing I can tell you for sure, no matter what happens, I will never have bad intentions towards you, and you will always be my best friend!"

Pei Shaorong quickly reached out and held her hand, his tone gentle and firm, "I know, I know everything! I'm just curious, so I asked casually. If you are not convenient to say it now, then don't say it, I believe you!"

Everyone has their own secrets, even as close as she and the prince, there are secrets between them that they don't want to share with each other. So what's wrong with Muhua having her own secrets?

"Arong, thank you for believing me."

Thank her for not getting to the bottom of it, and thank her for not becoming distant from her just because she didn't want to talk about it. She could tell whether what Arong had just said was sincere or false. She

was not sure whether this secret would be kept from Arong forever. Maybe one day, when she feels the time is right, she will share this secret with Arong. Or maybe she will really keep it a secret for the rest of her life.

Pei Shaorong glared at her, "I should be the one to thank you. If you hadn't come to me and told me about it the first time, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

She felt scared just thinking about it! Her face is still a little pale now!

Xu Muhua patted the back of Pei Shaorong's hand, "Stay calm for now, and wait for Doctor Sun to find out what's going on. Then you can discuss with the prince how to deal with this matter."

Let's leave some things for the prince to do. Otherwise, it will show that the prince is too incompetent as a husband.

Pei Shaorong nodded, "I understand."

"By the way, I want to take my cousin to the East Palace to play today. You also know that my two uncles and aunt came to the capital because of my marriage, and they will go back in two days, so I want to let Baotong come to the palace to play."

Pei Shaorong smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem, you can ask someone to pick her up! I'm also a little curious about your cousin!"

See what the naughty child who once gave Muhua a headache looks like. And she remembered that Muhua clearly said that she and this cousin were like enemies, but now the relationship is so good!

The Crown Princess agreed. There was no need to ask the Crown Prince about this matter. Xu Muhua immediately asked Aunt Qi to prepare.

Song Baotong also got up early in the morning, craning her neck and looking hard in the direction of the Eastern Palace, fearing that her eldest cousin had forgotten what she said yesterday.

The second aunt teased her, saying that she looked like a duck craning its neck.

Song Baotong didn't care how she laughed. What was so funny? Wouldn't it make her neck look long? Humph!

When the people from the Eastern Palace came to pick them up, Song Baotong jumped up with joy, and finally entered the Eastern Palace with Xu Jinyu.

After entering the Eastern Palace, the two of them went to pay their respects to Pei Shaorong, the Crown Princess.

Pei Shaorong knew that they came in to accompany Xu Muhua, and didn't keep them for long. She just asked them to be casual and not to be restrained. If you need anything, just ask. If anyone dares to bully them, needless to say, she will punish them severely.

I don’t know whether to say it’s a coincidence or a bad luck. Not long after Song Baotong and Xu Jinyu arrived at the East Palace, another uninvited guest came.

When Pei Shaorong heard the report from the palace maid, the smile on her face fell in an instant, "What is she doing here?"

The palace maid didn't know either! She was just responsible for reporting. Now

that everyone is here, Pei Shaorong can't let them rush out.

If Pei Zhen is still just a bastard daughter of the Pei Mansion, she can certainly refuse to see her and shut her out. But the problem is that she is now the fourth prince - ah, no, now it should be called the king's loyalty.

At the end of last year, the emperor might have suddenly remembered that his several adult sons had not been crowned as kings - this had never happened before. Normally, the princes should be crowned as kings at the latest when they reach adulthood, but our emperor seemed to have forgotten this and never crowned them as kings.

Several princes had to call each other Prince X in order of seniority. Even when he crowned the crown prince, the emperor did not crown other princes as kings.

As a result, at the end of last year, he seemed to have finally remembered this matter. With a wave of his hand, he crowned several grown-up princes as kings, including the fourth prince, who was crowned the Qin Prince. As

for Pei Zhen, although Taifu Pei said that he did not recognize this granddaughter, Lord Pei recognized this daughter! Not to mention that the fourth prince is now the Qin Prince, and Pei Zhen has also taken a concubine. Things are really different now.

"Since she's here, you should meet her, or she might go out and tell you that you're taking advantage of your status as the Crown Princess."

Xu Muhua advised.

Pei Shaorong was disgusted, "I just don't want to see her."

And she knew with her toes that her coming was definitely not a good thing.

Xu Muhua gave the palace maid a look, and the palace maid also knew that Concubine Xu and the Crown Princess had a good relationship, so she lowered her head and walked out.

"Baotong, you and Jinyu go around first, I'll let Wu'er follow you."

Xu Muhua said to the two sisters who were like quails.

They both secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, stood up hurriedly, bowed, and then retreated.

But when they were leaving, they almost bumped into Pei Zhen who came in.

Pei Zhen didn't run into them head-on. She only saw a person dressed as a palace maid leading two people who were obviously from different families towards the garden of the East Palace. Pei Zhen

narrowed her eyes and sneered.

Entering the main hall, Pei Shaorong, the Crown Princess, of course sat in the seat of honor, while Xu Muhua, the concubine, sat in the lower left seat.

Pei Zhen paused after entering the room and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

"I have seen the Crown Princess."

She saluted Pei Shaorong first, but the salute was very perfunctory.

Not to mention Xu Muhua, her knees didn't even bend, "Concubine Xu."

Pei Shaorong raised her eyelids and asked rudely, "Why are you here? I don't remember that my relationship with you was so good."

Pei Zhen didn't care at all, and said with a smile, "Sister, no matter what, we are sisters. Now that we are married into the royal family together, we should work together!"

"I know I have done a lot of wrong things in the past, and I have repented now. Can't you give me a chance?"

Pei Zhen sighed as she spoke, and it really sounded like that.

"It was only after I entered the Fourth Prince's backyard that I realized that without a strong maternal family and brothers and sisters as a backer, it would be difficult to move forward!"
