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

"I just think that the Seventh Prince might ask Your Majesty to marry me."

Shen Moyu's words were not narcissistic, but well-founded. Xiao Ting was an extremely ambitious person, and many people in the court could feel it.

It's just that he has an older brother, the Crown Prince, before him, so even though he is the legitimate son, he will always be suppressed by Crown Prince Xiao Qi. Perhaps this is also a thorn in Xiao Ting's heart.

Mo Wushuang didn't think there was anything wrong with what his daughter said. Instead, he became nervous because of this sentence, "Do you feel the same way?"

"It's not a feeling, it's that the Seventh Prince should have mentioned it privately. As for whether His Majesty agrees to it, we'll have to see what he says at the banquet later."

Shen Moyu had no intention of scaring Mo Wushuang, but it seemed that even if he didn't scare her, she would scare herself and be in a nervous and anxious state.

"Is that why you told me to keep calm as soon as I sat down at the table?"

Mo Wushuang was able to grasp the main point. It turned out that after all, it was all because of the Seventh Prince Xiao Ting! ?

She was immediately furious. This brat Xiao Ting was really lingering around and just didn't want to let her daughter go.

"That's true, but not entirely. Mother, I still say that there are some things I can't explain too clearly. If there is anything you don't understand, I will explain it to you after the banquet is over and we return home, okay?"

Shen Moyu patiently coaxed Mo Wushuang. Shen Moyu was very patient with his mother. She was much better than that irresponsible father.

"Hey, you can't go back on your word."

Mo Wushuang was afraid that Shen Moyu was just being perfunctory, so he repeatedly emphasized that she must keep her word.

This made Shen Moyou laugh again, "I know, mother, don't worry, I will definitely not lie to you."

As he was speaking, he heard a voice from outside, "The Queen is here, Concubine Ruan is here."

Queen Su Mojie and Concubine Ruan entered the hall almost at the same time. As soon as they came in, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet and everyone's eyes fell on them.

"I've met the Queen."

"I have met the imperial concubine."

"Everyone, please get up. I am happy to see you all coming to the palace to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet today. I hope you can eat and drink well today and treat this place as your own home. I will be satisfied then."

"Thank you, Queen."

To say that Queen Su Mojie is stupid, but sometimes she is quite clever. To say that she is smart, but saying such things at a time like this is bound to make the people present feel uncomfortable.

Even if they were given the courage of heaven, they would not dare to treat the palace as their own home. As soon as Queen Su Mojie said this, the atmosphere, which was not solemn at first, suddenly became tense.

Everyone present also looked uncomfortable. Concubine Ruan looked at those people who were fidgeting at the table, covered her mouth and laughed tenderly, "Empress, look how scared you made them."

"My Lady, today is His Majesty's birthday banquet. I don't want to argue with you about these words."

Queen Su Mojie was also tolerant of Concubine Ruan today, but Concubine Ruan originally provoked Queen Su Mojie with the intention of angering her, so how could she let it go?

"Your Highness is magnanimous, and I admire you very much. However, I heard that Your Highness knelt in the imperial study for a long time yesterday. But what trouble did the Seventh Prince cause to make His Majesty angry?"

Concubine Ruan was talking about something that was not relevant. Empress Su Mojie's already gloomy face made the storm even worse.

Knowing that what happened yesterday was known to everyone in the palace, Concubine Ruan asked this question on purpose. Empress Su Mojie gritted her teeth secretly, but she could do nothing about it.

"My Lady, please stop. His Majesty has decided not to pursue this matter. Isn't it inappropriate for you to bring it up on an occasion like today?"

"I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous, Your Majesty? Are you feeling guilty?"

Concubine Ruan's stunningly beautiful face was full of provocation, which made Queen Su Mojie feel very angry but helpless.

Shen Moyu and others at the table were also a little confused. Xiao Xuan happened to come over silently at this time. She had just come with Concubine Ruan, but she was relatively low-key and did not show her face. Now she was hidden in the crowd, so she was even less afraid of attracting attention.

"Xuan'er, what is the Imperial Concubine up to? Why do I feel like she is doing this on purpose?"

Shen Moyu was confused and had no idea what Concubine Ruan was planning, but seeing how calm and composed Xiao Xuan was, he thought that this was what they had agreed on.

"Mo You, just wait and see. The Queen is going to make a fool of herself today."

Xiao Xuan's tone was full of pride, with her hands folded in front of her chest, looking very confident, which made Shen Moyou feel a little puzzled.

"How did you make such a fool of yourself? Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet, and no one will be allowed to cause trouble. Xuan'er, you and Concubine Ruan should not be too impulsive. You can deal with the Queen at any time, but not today. It's not appropriate."

Shen Moyu was afraid that Xiao Xuan would do something she would regret in a fit of excitement. After all, Queen Su Mojie was really hateful.

But looking at Xiao Xuan's appearance, it seemed that she was simply watching the show and didn't want to do anything.

"Mo You, I know everything you said. Don't worry. My mother and I are not stupid enough to give the queen a head in such an occasion. She asked for her own death. She can't blame anyone else."

Xiao Xuan's words sounded as if she already knew everything about something that hadn't happened, which greatly increased Shen Moyu's curiosity.

"You should first explain clearly what you want to do."

"I didn't do anything. The Queen knew that she and Xiao Ting had already fallen out, so she wanted to take advantage of my father's birthday banquet to completely get rid of Xiao Ting!"

As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Shen Moyou couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what Xiao Xuan said, "You, say it again, who wants to get rid of who as soon as possible?"

"Queen, you want to kill your own son. Is this hard to understand?"

Xiao Xuan said this close to Shen Moyou's ear, "You heard it right, she wanted to do this, and on such a special day. Do you think the queen is crazy?"

More than crazy! ?

Shen Moyou shook his head, looking like he couldn't accept it. "Even if she didn't love her son, she wouldn't kill him..."

"What's so strange about this? The queen is a ruthless and cruel person. Her noble appearance now is just a pretense."

Xiao Xuan sneered at Queen Su Mojie, but it was understandable. Concubine Ruan had suffered so much torture at her hands for so many years, so how could Xiao Xuan have any good feelings towards her?
