A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 310 I Have a Question

"This one……"

Xin Moyan touched her nose. Actually, she hadn't seen anything special, but that stunning figure was just too stimulating; it was practically a visual feast, hehehe~

"Ahem! Yan'er, what are you grinning about?"

Seeing his cousin laughing so foolishly, Baili Juebi was truly helpless. He had finally managed to find his precious little sister, but Yan'er had witnessed that unsightly scene, which must have frightened her.

"No...nothing!"

"Sister Yan, you haven't answered me yet?"

Xie Xuanji blinked, revealing a row of white teeth, her face beaming with a curious and bright smile.

"that……"

Before she could organize her thoughts, Baili Juebi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xie Xuanji with an indifferent expression.

"Xing'er, go and call Axi and Shuiyi over here."

"Your Majesty, why don't you just send a few people?"

Xie Xuanji pouted, seemingly disliking being bossed around by him and not really wanting to leave Xin Moyan's side.

"Ok?"

This single word conveys an undeniable authority.

"Yes, Emperor."

She immediately turned around and disappeared in a flash. Who could blame her? Every time the Emperor had that expression, the next moment would be when she was punished.

"Yan'er, let's go!"

Her wrist was gripped tightly by him again. Xin Moyan shrugged and had no choice but to follow him toward the spotless white palace.

On the way, she kept her mouth shut to avoid displeasing a certain emperor, but Baili Juebi spoke first.

"Yan'er, did I scare you just now?"

"Huh? You mean that woman from earlier?"

"Ah."

Xin Moyan shook her head, "No! Although that lady was dressed quite lightly, I understand the basics of male-female relationships. I just accidentally saw you two... I'm sorry."

Hundred-mile cliff: "..."

He felt a little upset, unsure whether it was because Yan'er claimed to understand those things, or because the girl actually thought she had disturbed his good time.

"Yan'er, her name is Shui Rou. She is Shui Yi's cousin. The Shui family is the most powerful family in the Mingyu region. Shui Yi is a noblewoman born of the main wife. She was sent to the palace by her family when she was young. Shui Rou came to the palace to look for her a few years ago."

"Oh~"

She deliberately drew out her words, her laughter enigmatic.

"So, the Shui family wanted Shui Rou to also establish a connection with the royal family, so she seduced you?"

"...That seems to be the case."

"That……"

"Is there anything else you don't understand, Yan'er?"

"Big brother, do you like Sister Yi'er?"

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, he reached out and tapped Xin Moyan on the head.

"You girl..."

"Big brother, tell me quickly!"

"Why is Yan'er speaking in such a hurry?"

Baili Juebi did not give a direct answer, but instead tightened his grip on her hand.

"This...this..."

Xin Moyan's eyes darted around, her mind racing with thoughts. She was naturally anxious, as it concerned her brother's lifelong happiness. She wondered if her brother knew about Sister Yi'er and her brother's relationship, and what if he did...

He took in Xin Moyan's reaction and looked up at the palace not far away.

"Yan'er, this is Luoyan Palace."

Xin Moyan looked in the direction of the sound and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This palace is so beautiful!"

In the magnificent palace, only the walls were painted snow-white, while the rest of the decorations were mainly black with patterns, giving the overall feeling of solemnity and nobility.

Xin Moyan glanced down. Under her feet was a handmade carpet with an intricate and exquisite pattern. Countless glass lanterns with begonia blossoms hung above the palace, dazzling and bright as day. Every ornament was priceless. She sniffed ahead and smelled the fragrance of flowers throughout the palace, probably because the flowers were changed every day.

"Big brother, is this where Mother used to live?"

"Yes, Azu dotes on his aunt the most, and everything she eats, wears, and uses is the best in all of Gu Cang."

"Should I call him Grandpa?"

She gently touched a life-size falcon shell carving, its pupils adorned with emerald pearls collected from the depths of the ocean, making the entire falcon glow realistically and lifelike.

"Yes, and your father, who is your uncle."

He took Xin Moyan's hand, and the two slowly walked to a wall where countless portraits were hung.

"Yan'er, this is our family."

Following the direction of the slender fingers, Xin Moyan's eyes widened as she focused on the figure in the painting.

Isn't this... her?

However, compared to herself, the woman in the painting was more dignified and elegant, with a rosy face, starry eyes, cherry lips, and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, wearing a faint smile. She wore a blue dress with peacock feathers, and her long black hair was braided in the same style as Shui Yi's, even more intricate.

"Big brother, you've already drawn a picture for me so quickly?"

Baili Juebi was taken aback when he heard this, then reached out and patted her head with a doting look in his eyes.

"Yan'er, this is your aunt, your mother, Baili Huangxi."

"what?"

She could hardly believe her ears. This woman who looked exactly like her was her mother?

Baili Huangxi? This was the first time she had learned her mother's real name. Her brother had previously said that her mother's surname was Li, but it turned out to be Baili.

"Big brother, Mother and I look exactly alike!"

"Yes, I remember the first time I saw you, you had a high fever that day, and I almost thought it was my aunt coming back. When my aunt left, she was about your age."

Bai Li gazed at the portrait from the cliff, his expression no longer as cold and aloof as usual, but rather with a touch of tenderness.

"Yan'er, look."

She looked up in a daze, gazing at a huge painting higher up.

The painting depicts a large group of men and women dressed in splendid robes, exuding supreme nobility, among whom is the mother, Baili Huangxi.

Baili Juebi pointed to the middle-aged man in the middle and said, "This is my great-grandmother, this is my father and mother, and the one my aunt is holding is me. This painting was commissioned by my great-grandmother from the best master painter in Gucang a year before my aunt left."

Wow! What a huge family photo! Everyone looks so good!

Xin Moyan praised from the bottom of her heart. It turned out that the Baili family's good looks and hair color were hereditary. Her maternal grandparents were the most beautiful, kind and amiable middle-aged couple she had ever seen. And her uncle and aunt were a perfect match, a harmonious couple!

The young man in the painting is dressed in black robes with white hair, his eyebrows are sharp and his demeanor is dashing. The woman beside him is stunningly beautiful, cold and noble. This aura and these eyes, how come they look a bit like my cousin?

And, Mother…

"Big...Big brother, I have a question."

She stared intently at the painting of her mother, who looked exactly like her, her doubts growing stronger.

"Yan'er, please speak freely."

She turned around, her face full of confusion.

"Is Mother your biological aunt? Why do Grandpa, Uncle, you, and your second and third brothers all have white hair, but Mother has black hair?"
