Chapter 525: Surprise and truth, even the betrothal gift is brought out

Jun Wuxian was surprised that the little girl in front of him was Shen Chuwei's daughter. He looked at Susu again and studied her features carefully.

Shen Chuwei and Xiaojiu look alike, and her daughter looks exactly like Xiaojiu when she was a child.

Xu Qingqing was wearing a veil and hadn't seen Susu for two months, so she didn't recognize her.

At this time, Susu was lowering her head, rummaging through her pocket with her little hands, taking out a candy, and then holding it in front of Jun Wuxian.

"Here's some candy."

Jun Wuyan looked at the candies in front of him. Xiaojiu liked to eat candies, and his pockets were always full of candies. If he made someone angry, he would use candies to appease them.

Looking at her serious look, she is exactly the same as Xiaojiu.

He smiled and said, "Keep the candy for yourself. Be more careful next time and don't fall."

Susu's eyebrows curved when she heard this, "Then you are not angry anymore?"

How could Jun Wuxian be angry when faced with such a cute little girl who looks so similar to Xiaojiu?

"Well, I'm not angry."

Xu Qingqing hadn't seen Susu for a long time. She was very happy to see her now. "Susu, don't you remember me? I'm your godmother."

Susu tilted her head and looked at the veiled woman in front of her, and for a moment she didn't recognize her.

Xu Qingqing was a little hurt. After not seeing Susu for only two months, she didn't recognize her. She touched her face and found that she was wearing a veil. It might be because of the veil that she didn't recognize her.

Taotao ran over, grabbed her sister's hand, protected it behind her, and looked at the man in front of her with confusion.

"Who are the mud?"

Jun Wuxian was still surprised at how Susu and Xiaojiu looked alike, and now another identical child appeared, and it was a boy. He was stunned for a moment.

When Xu Qingqing saw Taotao, her eyes lit up. Taotao is smart, so she should still remember her, right?

"Taotao, do you still remember me? I'm your stepmother."

Taotao also tilted her head and stared at her, her eyes fell on the veil on her cheek, and said in a baby voice: "Tear off the veil and take a look to see if it's your mother."

Xu Qingqing was somewhat touched. Taotao was indeed smarter. She knew to ask her to take off her veil. Just to see the scar on her cheek, would she be unrecognizable?

She hesitated for a long time, then took off her veil and looked at Taotao anxiously.

Taotao stared at the face for a while.

Susu also came over and stared at the woman in front of them together with Guoguo.

Jun Wuxian could guess without asking that Taotao and Susu were dragon and phoenix twins, both Shen Chuwei's children.

This is the first time I've seen dragon and phoenix twins look so similar.

The guard stood behind Taotao and Susu, looking at them warily.

At this time, the emperor and the empress also rushed over, each holding one.

While the emperor and the empress were chatting, the two little guys ran away and lost their chance. There were too many people coming and going, and they were so crowded that if you were not careful, you would be squeezed into the crowd and out of sight.

The emperor hugged Susu tightly, like a treasure that had been lost and found again, "Baby, you scared me to death."

Xu Qingqing was shocked when she saw the Emperor and the Empress. No wonder Taotao and Susu left the palace. It turned out that the Emperor and the Empress were taking their grandchildren out to play.

She hurried forward and saluted, "Your servant Xu Qingqing..."

The emperor stopped him, "Don't make it public."

Xu Qingqing stood up straight, lowered her eyes and replied, "Your Highness understands."

Susu hugged the emperor's neck, patted her chest with her little hands and said in a childish voice, "Grandpa, don't be afraid."

The emperor was touched by the actions of his precious granddaughter. The Crown Princess said it well: granddaughters are like caring little cotton-padded jackets, making people love them to the extreme.

The Queen held Taotao in her arms and looked at Xu Qingqing, who was wearing a veil in front of her. If she hadn't taken the initiative to say it, she would have found it difficult to recognize her for a moment.

"Miss Xu has been missing for some time."

Xu Qingqing lowered her brows and nodded, "It's been a while since we last met, I miss you very much."

Jun Wuxian looked at the man and woman in front of him who were dressed in luxurious clothes. Even if they were not spoken out loud, he knew their identities: they were the emperor and empress of the Great Xia Kingdom.

This time the emperor just wanted to have fun with the empress and his grandchildren, and didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders.

"You guys go ahead and leave us alone."

Xu Qingqing bowed and said, "I obey your command."

She raised her head and looked at Taotao and Susu. After not seeing them for two months, the two little guys had grown up a lot and she had no chance to get close to them.

The emperor and the empress continued strolling with Taotao and Susu in their arms.

Taotao lay on Grandma Huang's shoulder, looking at Xu Qingqing, as if she remembered something, and shouted, "Fuck you."

When Susu heard Guoguo calling her mother-in-law, she turned her head and looked over. Perhaps influenced by Guoguo, she also called out in a baby voice, "Fuck-in-law."

When Xu Qingqing heard them calling her, the sense of loss she had just felt disappeared instantly and she waved to them happily.

After the emperor and the others walked away, Jun Wuxian lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qingqing, "You like this child very much."

Xu Qingqing raised her chin and said, "Of course, Taotao and Susu are smart and cute, and they are the most popular."

Jun Wuxian chuckled, "Then after we get married, we can have a pair of our own. They will definitely be cute and smart."

To Xu Qingqing, the tone of voice sounded like a joke. How could there be a child if they weren't even planning on getting married?

She didn't respond, but changed the subject, "Let's continue shopping."

Jun Wuxian asked, "Are we going to Yue Lao Temple?"

Xu Qingqing didn't care where they went, as long as they didn't continue this topic, "Okay."

Jun Wuxian looked back and saw Susu and Taotao who had already disappeared into the crowd. Shen Chuwei looked similar to Xiaojiu, and it was such a coincidence that she had a daughter who looked almost exactly like Xiaojiu when she was a child.

It seems that we need to investigate again.

When they arrived at the Yue Lao Temple, which was surrounded by young men and women, Xu Qingqing was stunned. Suddenly she realized that the Yue Lao Temple was a place for people to pray for marriage.

She has no marriage to seek... Could it be that Jun Wuxian wants to seek a marriage?

Jun Wuxian put away his folding fan and said gently, "Go in."

"Yeah." Xu Qingqing followed Jun Wuxian in.

Inside the Yue Lao Temple, the Bodhi tree is hung with signs praying for marriage. At this moment, next to the Bodhi tree, several boys and girls are hanging up the marriage signs.

Jun Wuxian glanced at the Yue Lao Temple. The place was not very big, but he could see it at a glance. There were quite a lot of people.

"It seems that Yue Lao Temple only prays for marriage."

Xu Qingqing: “…” Otherwise why is it called Yue Lao Temple?

She raised her head and looked at Jun Wuxian, "You want to seek marriage?"

Jun Wuxian looked at her with a half-smile, "No need."

"So you still want to come to Yue Lao Temple?"

"Come in and take a look out of curiosity."

“…”

Having said that, a nobleman like Jun Wuxian doesn't need to seek marriage, there must be countless women who like him.

Jun Wuxian opened his folding fan again and looked sideways at Xu Qingqing, "Let's go play somewhere else."

"Yeah." Xu Qingqing glanced at the Yue Lao Temple before leaving. In the past, she would definitely go in to pray for marriage, but now there is no need.

There are the most people at this time, especially at Yue Lao Temple.

When Xu Qingqing turned around, she was bumped by someone coming towards her. Her balance was unstable and she fell backwards.

She cried out in surprise: "Ah!"

Jun Wuxian quickly stretched out his arm to pick up Xu Qingqing who was about to fall, and then held her in his arms. There were too many people coming in, and it seemed like they were being chased.

In fact, it is to hurry up and pray for marriage, because every year during the Qiqiao Festival, if you come too late, not only will the Bodhi tree be full of decorations, but even the signs for praying for marriage will be gone.

Xu Qingqing was startled because she almost fell down, until she was held in Jun Wuxian's arms, with her cheek pressed against his chest. Although his clothes were thin in summer, she seemed to be able to feel his warm skin.

Thinking that she was being hugged by Jun Wuxian at this moment, her face turned red and her heart was beating like a deer, not stopping for a moment.

She secretly raised her head and glanced at Jun Wuxian. Due to the height difference, from this angle she could only see his handsome jawline.

The handsome face under the light is looming, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Seeing that there were fewer people around, Jun Wuxian let go of Xu Qingqing in his arms and said, "Okay, you can leave now."

"Yeah." Xu Qingqing blushed and stepped back from his arms, secretly thanking herself for being wearing a veil, otherwise Jun Wuxian would definitely see her blushing.

After leaving Yue Lao Temple, Xu Qingqing felt a little absent-minded.

Jun Wu looked at the stalls on both sides of the street with envy. He saw the dough figurines seller and thought that Xiaojiu really liked dough figurines. I think all girls would like them too...

He grabbed Xu Qingqing's wrist and walked towards the noodle vendor's stall.

Xu Qingqing followed him with doubts.

The noodle seller was an old man in his fifties, wearing coarse cloth, with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles. He smiled when he saw the customer, "Sir, do you want to buy some noodles?"

Jun Wuxian turned his head and looked at Xu Qingqing, "You choose it yourself."

Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Jun Wuxian was going to buy noodles for her.

"Okay." She squatted down in front of the stall, looked at dozens of dough figurines, and picked two, a man and a woman, both of which were very beautiful.

She held one in each hand and showed it to Jun Wuxian, "I want these two."

Jun Wuxian lowered his eyes to look at the two dough figurines in her hands, one male and one female, and praised, "You picked well."

Xu Qingqing smiled as she heard this.

Jun Wuxian took out some change and handed it to the old man, "No need for change."

The old man looked at the small change in his hand. He couldn't buy so much money even if he sold dough for a whole year.

When the old man raised his head, Jun Wuxian and Xu Qingqing had already walked away.

Jun Wuxian glanced at the dough figurine in her hand, then looked at Xu Qingqing, "Do you like it?"

Xu Qingqing nodded vigorously, "I like it."

Jun Wu said envious: "That's good. I have only met very few women and don't know much about what girls like. But Xiao Jiu said that most girls will like what she likes."

Xu Qingqing felt that her brain was not enough and she didn't quite understand the meaning of Jun Wuxian's words. However, it could be seen that Jun Wuxian doted on his sister very much and remembered what his sister liked.

Here, the emperor took the empress and the two babies out for a long time. When he thought it was about time, he took the two little ones back to the palace.

It was probably the first time for the two little guys to go out of the palace. They had a lot of fun and were reluctant to leave.

The emperor promised to take them out to play again during the next Mid-Autumn Festival.

After returning to the East Palace, Susu took the things she bought tonight and went to find Chu Lingfeng.

Chunxi saw Susu running out without taking a bath, so he chased after her, "Susu, where are you going?"

Susu said seriously, "I'm going to find Xiao Guoguo and bring it to him."

Chunxi smiled and said, "It will be the same if you send it tomorrow."

Susu said: "I want to send it now."

Seeing Susu was so determined, Chunxi agreed, "I will take you there."

Susu curved her eyebrows, grabbed Chunxi's hand and walked out.

Arriving at Chu Lingfeng's door, Chunxi raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Chu Lingfeng was just about to take a rest when he heard a knock on the door. He walked over and opened the door. When he saw Susu standing at the door, he was stunned.

"Is there anything wrong, little princess?"

Susu raised the small package in her hands with both hands and smiled sweetly: "I came here to bring food to Xiao Guoguo."

Chunxi explained, "Prince Chu, the emperor took the young masters out of the palace tonight and bought some food and small toys from outside the palace. The little princess couldn't wait to bring them to you."

Chu Lingfeng looked down at the things in her hands, a big bulging bag. It was amazing that such a small person could carry so many things.

"Thank you, little princess." Chu Lingfeng took the package from her hand.

After Susu sent the things out, Li Wan smiled faintly, "Good night, Xiao Guo Guo."

Chu Lingfeng said: "Well, good night, little princess."

Chunxi took Susu and walked out.

Chu Lingfeng stood at the door, watching Susu's leaving back until she disappeared into the night. Then he retracted his gaze and looked down at the package in his hand. When he opened it, he found all kinds of candies and cakes inside.

There was also a dough figurine that was squeezed and deformed because it was not placed properly, and its original appearance could not be recognized.

He carefully took the dough figurine out of it, feeling a little regretful as he didn't know what kind of dough figurine Susu had chosen for him.

*

Today is the happiest day for Xu Qingqing in more than a month.

Xu Qingqing and Jun Wuxian slowly returned to the military residence.

The moon was high in the sky, stretching the two people's figures very long.

The guard at the door saw the young lady coming back and immediately opened the door.

Xu Qingqing and Jun Wuxian walked in.

Xu Changfeng saw his sister coming back from a distance, turned around and ran to the east room.

"Mom, Qingqing is back."

When the general's wife learned that Mr. Jun was going to marry her daughter, she was excited and nervous, and was afraid that the plan would fail.

Hearing her son's cry, she left the house with the help of her nanny and went with her son to check.

The compartment where Jun Wuxian lived was kept, and was disturbed every day, for fear that he would suddenly visit and have no place to rest.

All the way in silence.

When they reached the fork in the road, Xu Qingqing suddenly stopped and said, "Master Jun, I have something to give you. Please wait here for a while."

Without waiting for Jun Wuxian to say anything, Xu Qingqing turned around and ran towards her own room.

Jun Wuxian waved his folding fan, looked at Xu Qingqing who was running wildly, and smiled.

After a while, Xu Qingqing ran back. She took a few breaths and handed the sachet she had embroidered these days to Jun Wuxian. She was shy under her veil.

"For you."

Jun Wuxian could vaguely see in the moonlight that she was holding a sachet. He put away his folding fan, picked up the sachet with his slender fingers and brought it to his nose to smell the fragrance. The fragrance was very faint.

Xu Qingqing stared at Jun Wuxian without blinking, because Caixia said her embroidery skills were not very good, and she was afraid that he would not like it and also afraid that he would dislike it.

Xu Qingqing, who has always been confident, is always unconfident in front of Jun Wuxian.

Jun Wuxian held the sachet in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qingqing, with a smile in his eyes: "It's a matter of reciprocity. I also have something to give you."

Xu Qingqing had never thought that Jun Wuxian would give her something on this day, so she was very surprised and a little delighted.

"What are you going to give me?"

Jun Wuxian put the sachet Chu Ci into his arms, then took out a beautiful and exquisite box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

"For you."

"Then I'll be welcome." Xu Qingqing couldn't wait to take the exquisite box from his hand, opened it and found a hairpin, which emitted a warm glow under the moonlight.

Everything in front of him was seen by Chu Zhao and Caixia who were not far away.

Caixia couldn't help but say, "My young lady spent more than a month embroidering that sachet, and her hands were all cut."

Chu Zhao sighed: "This is nothing, my master has even taken out the betrothal gift."
