"Why aren't you talking? Don't you like talking?" asked Huzai.

The lion gave it a cold look.

It likes to talk, but it doesn't want to talk now!

After a while of stalemate, it decided to just forget it and pretend nothing had happened!

It shook its tail, pretended nothing had happened, and stayed away from Xu Muhua!

"Hey, it moved! It seems it's not dead!" Song Baotong shouted.

"He looks in good spirits. He shouldn't be possessed by evil spirits or sick." Xu Jinyu nodded.

"Yes, just now it might have... well, it might have been thinking about something and was distracted for a moment?" Geng Zhiqiu guessed.

Lion: That’s really annoying.

It walked to a large rock on the rockery in the garden and lay down with its back to them.

Let it shut itself up for a while!

Xu Muhua almost couldn't help laughing.

Huzai didn't understand what was going on. He looked up at Xu Muhua and saw her giggling, which made him even more confused.

Xu Muhua reached out and rubbed Huzai's big head, lamenting that Huzai was really too stupid.

After seeing the lions, everyone continued to walk forward and looked at the other animals in the zoo one by one.

Xu Muhua was not very interested, but Song Baotong and Xu Jinyu were watching with great interest. Even Geng Zhiqiu seemed to be infected and became much more lively.

After walking around, everyone was a little tired, so they finally came to Mingcui Pavilion near the zoo and ordered the palace servants to prepare tea and snacks. In addition, the cool breeze, the swaying willows, and the pleasant sound of birds from time to time made it a leisurely and leisurely place.

Song Baotong has always been active, eats a lot, and gets hungry quickly. When she gets hungry quickly, she naturally eats more, and the cycle repeats. So she is the hungriest at this moment, her stomach is flat, and just now at the zoo, she kept touching her stomach to show that she is hungry, and she should find a place to sit down and eat something.

Now that she was satisfied, she was not polite at all and did not consider her image at all. Compared with Xu Jinyu and Geng Zhiqiu next to her, she was like a wild child.

Xu Jinyu and Geng Zhiqiu are both well-mannered and gentle, which fits the image of traditional ladies very well.

The three of them are not much different in age, and even though they have different personalities, they get along very well.

Geng Zhiqiu has a good impression of the two sisters he just met today, especially Song Baotong.

She didn't think Song Baotong was vulgar, but she thought she was frank, cute and full of energy. When she was with her, she seemed to be infected and felt full of energy.

However, when Geng Zhiqiu learned that Song Baotong was not from Beijing and would be leaving soon, he felt sad and a little lost.

She was still thinking that there would be a chance for them to sit together again in the future.

Song Baotong was a person who couldn't sit still. After barely filling her stomach, she was fully revived, ran out of the pavilion, squatted on the grass, and no one knew what she was doing.

After sitting for a while, Xu Jinyu and Geng Zhiqiu couldn't help but follow over curiously. The three of them squatted there in a circle, looking mysterious.

"Concubine Xu, I don't quite understand what you and Zhiqiu said just now... Why do I feel like you are hinting at something? Am I overthinking it?" Concubine Jing asked bluntly.

She had not had much contact with Concubine Xu before today, but she had heard a lot about her, including quite a few in the palace.

I know that she almost got into trouble when she first entered the palace, but she managed to get through it safely. I know that she has a good relationship with Concubine Zhang, the most difficult person in the palace. Concubine Zhang is so arrogant and difficult that she doesn't even give the emperor face, but she has a really good relationship with her.

There is also the story of Concubine Li back then, and her shadow can be vaguely seen in it, not to mention the many things that happened outside the palace.

She seemed to be no different from other ladies in the boudoir, and she had not done anything out of the ordinary. But even such a person had her shadow in everything.

So she didn't think that what she said to Zhiqiu just now was just something she said casually. They just met, and she didn't seem to be the kind of person who would get along with others easily. Their relationship was not yet at the level where she could say such things casually.

Concubine Jing hesitated whether to ask tentatively or pretend that she didn't hear anything and check it herself later. But after thinking about it, she decided to ask directly. Since she said so, maybe she didn't want to hide it at all?

Xu Muhua discovered that Concubine Jing was a very smart and decisive person.

She smiled and raised her hand to smooth a strand of hair that was messed up by the cool breeze. "Madam, I just think that a girl's lifelong event is very important. It affects a girl's entire life. If she marries the wrong person, won't the rest of her life be ruined?"

"You have said that the young master of the Hu family is so good, Madam. He has good looks, talents, and good character. For a man like him, there is no need to worry about not finding a wife of equal status in the capital."

Why look for the daughter of a minor official?

Geng Zhiqiu is good, but are there not many good girls in Beijing? Yes, there are many!

So why were the Hu family so satisfied with Geng Zhiqiu that they even sent the only concubine in Mr. Hu's backyard to the farm to marry her?

There is obviously something wrong with being so eager! It's not like a man and a woman are in love freely, and they can't do anything for love.

Concubine Jing was stunned.

It's not that I didn't have doubts, but these doubts were washed away by the joy. I just thought it was a good marriage, and I only wanted to be happy for my niece and my elder brother and his wife. I subconsciously stopped thinking about it and just regarded it as a blessing for Zhiqiu.

Yes, there are so many beautiful girls in Beijing, and many of them are well-matched. Why did the Hu family choose Zhiqiu? Could it be because the Geng family is not well-known and is easy to control?

So why look for one that's easy to grasp?

Although she was the emperor's concubine and had a prince, they were not favored by the emperor, and were no better than invisible people in the palace. It was expected that someone would ignore them.

Besides, they live in the palace, so how can they know the things outside the palace so clearly? If something really happens, by the time the news reaches her ears, it will be too late!

The more I thought about Concubine Jing, the more I broke out in a cold sweat!

She grasped Xu Muhua's hand and said, "Concubine Xu, what you said makes sense. It reminds me! I think we should investigate this matter thoroughly. We can't rush to settle Zhiqiu's marriage!"

Xu Muhua flipped his hand and held Concubine Jing's hand, patting the back of her hand. "Yes, I think Miss Geng is a good girl. There is no need to worry. It is better to be cautious about marriage, so as not to regret it for the rest of your life."

"If you can't find anything, you can go to a place called Bai Xiaosheng. They will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Bai Xiaosheng?

Concubine Jing thought the name sounded very familiar!
