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

"Is what Father said true?"

Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, but when his eyes met the serious expression of Emperor Mingzhen, he suddenly shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to trouble you for such a small matter."

"Ting'er, when you say this, do you not believe in our father?"

Emperor Mingzhen pretended to be angry. Although he didn't know who Xiao Ting fell in love with, he thought that person should not be the daughter of an ordinary family.

After hearing what Emperor Mingzhen said, Xiao Ting seemed to muster up the courage and asked tentatively, "Father, I actually have my eyes on the Shen family's legitimate daughter, Shen Moyou."

"What did you say!?"

Emperor Mingzhen couldn't hold back his voice and yelled at him, scaring Xiao Ting, who was already kneeling on the ground, even more. "Father, I deserve to die. I really shouldn't have thought about someone I couldn't think about. Please don't blame me for being obsessed."

"You also like the daughter of the Shen family?"

Emperor Mingzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an incredible expression, "What kind of charm does this Shen Moyou have? How could you two all fall for her?"

"Father, I don't know, but I have a special feeling that Shen Moyu should have been my prince's consort. Maybe I am just wishful thinking."

Xiao Ting used retreat as a means of advance, testing Emperor Ming Zhen step by step, which finally made him frown in displeasure.

"What do you mean by wishful thinking? You are a prince, my son, and she, Shen Moyou, is just the daughter of a minister. Since Ting'er likes you, I will grant your request!"

Emperor Mingzhen's words made Xiao Ting overjoyed. Although he did think so, he did not expect that Emperor Mingzhen would actually agree. This made him not only surprised, but also more of unbelievable.

"Really, Father!?"

Xiao Ting's surprise was beyond words. He never thought that one day he would be able to defeat the prince. Once he got Shen Moyu, both the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Mo family would be in his pocket.

And he will take back everything that Shen Moyu had done to him in the past. He will not be impatient, nor will he get carried away because of temporary joy.

"Ting'er, since the emperor promised you, he will definitely keep his word. Are you questioning the emperor?"

Emperor Mingzhen felt very uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Ting's cautious confirmation, and he became even more dissatisfied with Empress Su Mojie.

Obviously, both of them are her sons, one is spoiled and ignorant of the immensity of the world, while the other is humble and insecure. She is truly a good queen to him.

"Father, I dare not. I am just too happy."

Xiao Ting's voice was choked with sobs. He knew that the more he showed weakness, the more distressed Emperor Ming Zhen would be. This was actually a good thing for him.

"Ting'er, how many times do I have to emphasize this? You are the prince, a son I can trust. You don't need to be submissive in the future. With me here, no one can bully you."

Emperor Mingzhen's guilt towards his son was immediately evident, as if he wanted to make up for all the neglect he had shown him before.

"Father, as long as I am by your side, I will be satisfied. I don't ask for anything else."

Xiao Ting's retreat was extremely smart, and it further made Emperor Mingzhen determined.

"I will give you a satisfactory explanation at my birthday banquet tomorrow. You still have a wound on your forehead, so go back to the palace early. I will ask Eunuch An to arrange for an imperial physician to treat your wound."

"It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious for me. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I won't bother you."

Xiao Ting retreated very obediently. After coming out of the imperial study, he felt his back straightened. Looking at the Queen Su Mojie who was still kneeling at the door of the imperial study, he spoke with more confidence.

"Mother, my father has already said that this matter will not be pursued. You can get up first."

When Empress Su Mojie saw Xiao Ting coming out of the imperial study room safe and sound, not only was he unharmed, but he was even in high spirits, she could hardly believe it, "Ting'er, you...what did your father say?"

"Father didn't say anything, he just asked me to handle this matter myself. Mother, let's go back to the palace."

Xiao Ting looked at Queen Su Mojie with a smile on his face, but the more he smiled, the more scared Queen Su Mojie felt. She always felt that there seemed to be something different about her son.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, please wait for me, this old servant."

Eunuch An came running over breathlessly, looking at Xiao Ting with a respectful face, and spoke to him as politely as possible.

"His Majesty said that the wound on your forehead needs to be treated by an imperial physician. I have just sent someone to ask for one from the Imperial Hospital. You should not delay any longer and return to the palace immediately."

"Eunuch An, what on earth is going on?"

Queen Su Mojie looked seriously at the eunuch An who seemed not to have seen her. The eunuch An looked surprised, as if he had just seen Queen Su Mojie. He shouted deliberately, "Oh, my old slave's eyes are really blurry. I didn't even see the Queen. Damn it."

Queen Su Mojie's face turned dark as she watched Eunuch An putting on a show, but since he was someone close to Emperor Mingzhen, she had no way to do anything to him.

"Don't say so much nonsense. Tell me first, what did His Majesty say? Why did he suddenly forgive Ting'er?"

Queen Su Mojie's words made Eunuch An cover his mouth with a look of surprise, "Your Majesty, I am not saying anything to you, but since His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is fine, why do you have to ask about it? Anyway, His Majesty is caring about His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you should be happy."

Eunuch An's words were like a slap in the face to Queen Su Mojie, and it was the loudest one. She never thought that one day, Xiao Ting would have a chance to turn things around.

What she didn't expect was that His Majesty would change his impression of Xiao Ting so quickly, which made her feel a little uneasy. What on earth did Xiao Ting do?

"Eunuch An is right. I was just thinking about it wrongly."

Although Queen Su Mojie looked unhappy, she still had to deal with it with a smile, "Ting'er has a wound on his forehead, so I will take him back first."

"Mom, walk slowly."

Eunuch An is a shrewd man. He is used to keeping a trick for everything he does. What he said just now was just to wake up Queen Su Mojie.

Let Queen Su Mojie know that the current Xiao Ting is different from the past. He is no longer the unloved little prince whom she can turn against at will and beat or scold.

Along the way, Queen Su Mojie tried to trick Xiao Ting into talking, but no matter what she asked, Xiao Ting only had one sentence, which was "Father didn't say anything."

If Xiao Ting was asked too urgently, he would retort to Queen Su Mojie, asking why he didn't ask Emperor Mingzhen himself.

This made Queen Su Mojie helpless. She returned to Jingning Palace angrily and no longer paid any attention to Xiao Ting.
