Shen Yangui really wanted to give Lu E a big hug. She didn't know how to thank Lu E, so she took two large gold ingots from the table and stuffed them into Lu E's hands.

Lu'e smiled, "Princess, these are what slaves should do, but we cannot accept these."

Early the next morning, Lu E personally went to the General's Mansion with money and snacks. Qing Shuang volunteered to accompany him, saying that he would definitely pick up his wife and the young lady.

Shen Yan returned and strolled around the back garden for a while, then basked in the sun in the pavilion and read in a daze.

She has never been separated from her mother and sister for such a long time since she was a child. She hopes that her mother can come.

It’s not just about relieving the pain of longing.

Over the years in the capital, my mother had been suppressed and wasted away, and she had long lost the grace of her youth. She cared about etiquette and respect for people, and refused to leave the small courtyard.

If she is willing to come here today, it also means that he has a chance to pick her up and leave that cage.

Thinking of this, she inevitably had to think about how she could make money to support her mother now that she was also a canary.

Thinking of money, I also thought of Mo Chengying.

Less than a month into their marriage, how could he suddenly change his gender and hand the entire palace into his own hands?

Why does he believe in himself so much?

Is it because he is considering what he has no courage to do, or is it, as he said, the fate of his previous life?

"Previous life?"

Shen Yangui murmured and repeated.

Between people, there is no evil without reason, and there is no good without reason.

She also wanted to convince herself that it was the prince's love, but there were some things she could ignore, but that didn't mean they didn't exist.

For example, if he did not worship with her, people inside and outside the palace would not really regard her as a princess. Without a proper status, she would only bear the name of princess for nothing, and she would be a concubine at best.

Shen Yangui recalled that the Queen Mother sent someone to deliver the reward that day, and the prince seemed to have said something.

Yongzhou, life-saving grace, loved since childhood, would not marry anyone other than Qing... How can the past events of the regent have anything to do with the same "favorite concubine"? She didn't know and couldn't take it to heart, so she didn't pay attention at the time and forgot about it when she woke up.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Feng Yuqing said something else later...

"Who is Feng Yuqing?"

"You dare to call the Queen Mother by her name and you will die?"

The voice behind her came unexpectedly, startling Shen Yangui, and she looked back.

It's Feng Wanyan.

"My side concubine, Mrs. Feng, would like to pay my respects to my sister, the princess."

"You're welcome, sister."

Feng Wanyan was stunned for a moment. Although she was indeed the younger sister in terms of position and age, she was, after all, the daughter of Marquis Yongen and the niece of the Queen Mother.

No one in the entire palace dared to stand up in front of her, and she was just a virgin, so she was not polite.

Before Shen Yangui could speak, Feng Wanyan sat opposite Shen Yangui.

"If your sister, Princess, is free, you might as well have a quick chat with her."

She glanced at Chunyu and Xia An who were standing behind Shen Yan's return.

Shen Yangui didn't notice her look and said directly: "Just tell me."

Feng Wanyan: "..." I have never seen such a weak-sighted person.

She said proudly: "There is no water in the pot. Chun Yu and Xia An, please go get some more."

The four people, Chun Yu, Xia An, Qiu Sui and Dong Xi, received the order that from now on they would only listen to the princess. If necessary, even the prince could ignore it, and put the princess first in everything.

How could he possibly talk to Feng Wanyan?

So the two of them ignored it and stood where they were, motionless.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Shen Yangui picked up the purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea. Suddenly he realized that Feng Wanyan wanted to talk to him alone.

Then he repeated what Feng Wanyan had just said, Chun Chu and Xia An bowed and left.

One of them went to fetch water, and the other stood guard at the entrance of the pavilion.

Shen Yangui: "Just say what you want to say."

It was impossible for Chun Chu to ask the princess to leave his sight. Standing at the entrance of the pavilion was already a great honor. If Qing Shuang was there, he would have to stand behind him.

Feng Wanyan got straight to the point:

"The prince has a high position and a lot of power. What kind of beauty does he want in the world? Have you never thought about why he would fall in love with you, a foreign concubine?"

I've been thinking about it for several days and can't figure it out.

Shen Yan returned: "I would like to hear the details."

"Does the prince always call you 'Qingqing'?"

Without waiting for an answer, Feng Wanyan continued: "You don't have to hide it from me. You pretended to be faint that day. That's what the prince called you."

Someone did call her that when she was a child, and she was also very curious, how did the prince know that he could call her Qingqing whenever he saw her?

It seemed that Feng Wanyan knew the answer, but Shen Yangui remained silent.

Feng Wanyan asked again: "Do you know why the prince calls you like this?"

"..." I'm waiting for you to tell me the answer, just to whet your appetite at the critical moment, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep trying to hide it, I'll leave."

"Because the word 'Qing' is embedded in my aunt's name, you look like my aunt, especially those eyes."

Because she looks like the Queen Mother, she is particularly favored by the prince.

Although the prince is always demanding, he can be considered gentle, but when someone came to the palace, he became particularly angry just because he mentioned the Queen Mother.

The movements are also fierce and rough.

I was not allowed to sleep afterward, so I kept talking about a lot of memories.

She was sleepy, but words in twos and threes came into her ears and into her heart. Now after Feng Wanyan said it, everything came together.

Feng Wanyan said that her aunt and the regent met in Yongzhou. She rescued the prince in Yongzhou and saved the prince again when she returned to the capital.

A period of youth that cannot be taken back, and two unrequited life-saving graces.

With the identity and ability of the regent, he could have ascended the throne by himself, but he was willing to assist the young emperor. It turned out that it was all for the Queen Mother.

"You think the prince loves you, but in fact he only loves my aunt through you. Everything you get now is just flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror, which will disperse sooner or later.

You are just my aunt's substitute. "

Feng Wanyan looked at Shen Yangui and said proudly: "My aunt can play the pipa, and the prince loves to listen to pipa music. My aunt loves green plums. There is a whole yard of green plums in Qiwu Courtyard, with Liu Qingqing in front and you behind. Looking at the entire Regent's Palace, my aunt's shadow is everywhere."

"Wake up, substitute, king and concubine!"

When she walked out of the pavilion, Chun Yu wanted to trip her up and punch her twice.

"Are you still a girl from the Yong'enhou Mansion?" Chun Yu hurriedly came in to comfort her master, "Princess, don't listen to her nonsense. Concubine Wan is jealous of you."

"Why are you jealous of me?" Shen Yangui asked, "Is it true that the prince likes the queen mother?"

People who practice martial arts are honest, and the moment Chunyu bowed her head, it was confirmed that the regent had indeed loved the queen mother in the past.

"It doesn't matter, the prince and I are not an ordinary couple. It's an honor for him to treat me like this."

"But..." But Chunqi felt that the prince was not like that towards the princess, but she couldn't explain why.

Shen Yan returned and smiled.

In fact, when she first heard Feng Wanyan's words, she felt a little disappointed.

After all, these days, Mo Chengying treats her like jewels. She has carried her mother and sister for many years, and it has been a long time since she has been cared for like this.

But she didn't deny that when she heard the substitute's words, she felt as if a boulder had fallen to the ground.

After all, he found the reason why he treated himself well.

If he doesn't love himself, he doesn't have to love him, and he doesn't have to worry that he will treat him the way his father treats his mother.

To take a step back, if you have to leave in the future, you don't have to feel too guilty. After all, you are just a substitute here for him.

"Royal couple, love is the least important thing."

Chun Chu didn't understand, so she silently looked at the medicinal food simmering on the stove.

The lid of the sand wrapped around the branches is opened, and the aroma of the medicine is fragrant.

Shen Yangui raised his eyes and saw that Feng Wanyan and maid Taohong had gone to the other side of the lake.

Taohong asked in confusion: "Concubine, why didn't you just take the opportunity to make some more provocations, but instead persuaded the princess to wake up?"

"What do you idiot know? If she doesn't wake up and thinks she is loved by the prince, how can she make trouble with the prince? The only way is to make her wake up, but she can't wake up. She is half-awake and worried about gains and losses, so she can find trouble."

Feng Wanyan spoke so categorically and confidently that Taohong did not dare to say anything more.

A woman passed by and bowed to her. She walked over and turned back.

"Have I seen you somewhere?"
