After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

Feicui knew that it was useless to threaten Xiao Xuan at this moment, but she was unwilling to leave Shen Moyu in Ziyun Palace like this.

"But the Queen's side..."

"If the Queen really asks, I will explain it myself. There is no need for you to teach me how to do things here."

Xiao Xuan didn't even think about it and just spoke up, "What? What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and leave? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"

"The slaves retire."

If we stay any longer, given Xiao Xuan's personality, he might really chase us away.

The eunuchs were so frightened that they dared not speak and followed Feicui out of Ziyun Palace.

Shen Moyou found it a little funny when he saw Xiao Xuan's expression. "Xuan'er, she is just an unimportant person. There is no need to be so angry."

"I get angry when I think of her attitude towards you just now, Mo You. You asked me to be patient, and I endured it. But if she fell into my hands, I would not endure it again and again."

Xiao Xuan was holding back her anger, and when she looked at Shen Moyou, she felt helpless, "I don't know what you are thinking. She obviously doesn't take you seriously, but you are not angry. If I were to ask her, even if she has the Queen's support, what does it matter? I can kill her if I want!"

"Xuan'er, don't always talk about fighting and killing. This is not good."

Shen Moyu spoke in a gentle and soft voice, leaving Xiao Xuan with no room for rebuttal.

Xiao Xuan complained coquettishly, "Mo You, sometimes I feel that you are not the same person you are now."

"How could you have such an idea?"

Shen Moyu's heart skipped a beat. She truly regarded Xiao Xuan as a friend, so she didn't want to give Xiao Xuan a bad impression.

But some things cannot be said openly. After all, this matter is too shocking. If she had not experienced it personally, she might not believe it.

"I just think your ideas are too different from mine. Don't think too much about it. I don't mean to blame you."

Xiao Xuan also wanted to get close to Shen Moyu from the bottom of her heart, so she cared more about her feelings, and both of them carefully maintained this friendship.

"The royal concubine has arrived."

As the eunuchs at the door sang, both Shen Moyu and Xiao Xuan were caught off guard.

"It seems that this Jade couldn't help but cause trouble for me. She didn't bring the Queen here, but she brought my mother here instead."

Xiao Xuan was a little furious. She knew that Feicui had bad intentions, but Shen Moyu didn't allow her to take any action. It was really frustrating.

Concubine Ruan walked in wearing a lavender dress, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. She had a dignified and elegant posture, skin as white as cream, and a face as rosy as a peach. Even though she was nearly forty years old, she was still deeply loved by Emperor Mingzhen.

"My son has met my mother and concubine."

"My daughter has met the noble concubine."

Xiao Xuan bowed to Concubine Ruan, while Shen Moyu bowed greatly to Concubine Ruan.

In her previous life, she did not have much interaction with Concubine Ruan. After Xiao Xuan married Da Zhao and the princess went far away, Concubine Ruan also died soon. Even Xiao Ling seemed to have disappeared without a word.

"No gifts."

Although Concubine Ruan looks like a cold beauty, she is extremely gentle when she speaks, and people who listen to her feel like they are in spring breeze. She is much better than Empress Su Mojie.

Xiao Xuan naturally leaned forward and took Concubine Ruan's arm, "Mother, it's so late, how come you have time to come here?"

Concubine Ruan glanced at her sideways and tapped Xiao Xuan's nose in pretended anger, "Do you know that Feicui has reported the case to the Queen? Your mother will be in trouble because of you."

Xiao Xuan shrank her nose and said unhappily, "I just said that I couldn't just let that bitch Feicui go. It's all Mo You's fault for stopping me!"

"Please forgive me, Imperial Concubine. The Fourth Princess offended the Empress because of me. Please don't blame the Fourth Princess. If the Empress really wants to punish me, you can just hand me over."

Shen Moyu was not sure about Concubine Ruan's temper, and was afraid that she had really annoyed Xiao Xuan, so she quickly spoke up to take the blame.

"Mother, look at you, you have frightened Mo You, be careful or the little uncle will come after you!"

Xiao Xuan complained about her mother with dissatisfaction on her face, "Hurry up and comfort her."

"You are such a disrespectful kid. If you don't know better, you would think you are the mother."

Concubine Ruan was not really angry. After talking to Xiao Xuan for a while, she turned around and said to Shen Moyou in a friendly manner, "Good child, don't worry. Just like Xuan'er said, she is just a lowly maid. She can't do anything to me."

"Yes, your concubine."

Shen Moyu nodded somewhat embarrassedly. Listening to the mother and daughter speaking in the same tone, she understood who Xiao Xuan inherited the habit of arguing with others whenever she disagreed with something.

"Mother, since you are not here because Feicui is complaining to the Queen, then what are you doing here?"

Xiao Xuan changed the subject and asked Concubine Ruan, feeling something was not right, "Could it be that you came here specifically to see Mo You?"

"You kid, your uncle finally fell in love with someone, and your mother is curious, so she came to see what happened."

Concubine Ruan did not hide anything and admitted it generously, which made Shen Moyu's pretty face blush and she lowered her head in confusion.

Seeing Shen Moyou like this, Concubine Ruan quickly took her hand and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, I'm not that shrew that the Queen is. Just get along with me like you do with Xuan'er."

"Everyone please sit down, don't stand. Looking at us, Mo You is making us feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Xuan quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere. After all, she didn't know Concubine Ruan was coming to Ziyun Palace. She was also surprised to see Shen Moyu's stiff body.

"Your Highness, I also find you very kind."

Seeing that the mother and daughter got along just like she and Mo Wushuang, Shen Moyu was no longer as nervous as before, and she also had some good feelings towards Concubine Ruan.

"I heard that the courtyard that Feicui arranged for you was a long-abandoned courtyard in Jingning Palace?"

For some reason, when Concubine Ruan said this, a hint of hostility, even murderous intent, flashed in her eyes.

Shen Moyou wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong, but she nodded openly, "That's right, that's why I came to bother Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess."

"This is outrageous. I thought she would be more generous. After all, she chose the Crown Princess herself. She hasn't even married into the palace yet, but she treats you like this. Mo You, in my opinion, you shouldn't even think about marrying the Crown Prince. How about the Regent? I think he's pretty good. He's a little older than you, but older is better. He knows how to care for others..."

Concubine Ruan's words became more and more outrageous, and Xiao Xuan didn't even have time to cover her mouth before she finished talking in one breath.

"Mother, can you please not talk about it so early? How can Mo You answer this? Besides, she doesn't want to marry the prince. It's just the Queen and Wuyang Marquis' wishful thinking, right?"
