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

"Big sister, I was ignorant before, please forgive me."

Shen Lian'er knew when to stop and knelt on the ground begging Shen Moyu for forgiveness. Her thoughts were very naive. She had the Wuyang Marquisate and the Queen behind her, so Shen Moyu needed to please her and did not dare to really break up with her.

"Sisters, there's no need to do this."

Shen Moyou helped her up, and they sat down hand in hand. Shen Moyou pretended to be mysterious and said, "Third sister, have you heard that this Hundred Flowers Banquet is actually for the Seventh Prince to choose a concubine?"

"Big sister, do you want me to help you..."

Shen Lian'er was interrupted by Shen Moyou before she finished speaking, "Third sister, what you said is wrong. The Seventh Prince was born to the Queen, and you are the Queen's niece. This is a great opportunity to strengthen the relationship. Don't you want to fight for yourself and become the prince's consort?"

"Didn't my elder sister like the Seventh Prince the most before? She even kept saying that she wanted to marry him."

Shen Lian'er felt strange. Shen Moyu had always mentioned the Seventh Prince Xiao Ting in front of her before, so why was he now persuading her to become the prince's consort?

Strange, this is so strange!

"That was because I overestimated my own abilities before. Now I have figured it out. You are the most suitable candidate for the Seventh Prince's Consort. Are you going to let this opportunity go? Are you willing to watch this position being handed over to someone else?"

Shen Moyu's words seemed to be bewitching, and just a few words made Shen Lian'er's eyes brighten, as if she had now been favored and became the seventh prince's consort.

"I don't want to. Since my elder sister has no intention of becoming the seventh prince, then Lian'er should fight for this position."

Shen Lian'er said it as a matter of course. She didn't feel that there was any loophole in Shen Moyu's words, nor did she think about how she, a mere concubine's daughter, could become the prince's consort?

Coming out of Hibiscus Courtyard, Li Yue whispered, "Miss, why did you let Miss Three out? Are you really going to let her attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

"Why not? If we don't let her out, won't she miss out on all the excitement at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

"That's what the lady said."

On the way back to the Rose Courtyard, I met Xie Li beside Xiao Linchuan, "Miss Shen, my master wants to see you."

In fact, Jiangxue Pavilion and Qiangwei Courtyard are two adjacent courtyards. She just didn't expect Xiao Linchuan to be so idle in broad daylight. Is it so easy to be the regent?

In the Jiangxue Pavilion, Xiao Linchuan had already prepared tea and snacks for everyone. As soon as Shen Moyu sat down on the stone bench, he handed over a blueprint.

"This is what you want."

Shen Moyou didn't understand what was going on. He took it and opened it. It turned out to be the Geomancy Map of Eighteen States in the World. "Isn't this what you took from the library last time?"

"It's not that one. This one is the one I took from the library. Take a closer look to see if there's anything different."

Shen Moyu frowned, thinking that something was unusual. Looking carefully, he found that the two drawings were indeed the same at first glance. If he looked carefully, he could find the difference.

"The one you took from the library was a copy."

Shen Moyou said it with certainty, but, "So this one was taken from the Mo family?"

"Yes."

Xiao Linchuan nodded, and said in a magnetic voice, "The geomancy map has always been in the hands of the Mo family, but what means did the Shen family use to copy it exactly, and what was their purpose? This is something you have to ask the Shen family yourself."

Shen Moyu held the blueprint with such force that his knuckles turned white. Father, oh father, how many things have you hidden from me in this life and in this one?

"Thank you for checking the blueprints for me, Your Highness, but there are some things that I'd better make clear in advance."

"You said."

Shen Moyu took a deep breath, his expression more serious than ever before.

She said, "The Mo family has been loyal for generations. Your Highness can take the geomancy map. But if the Mo family is really implicated by this map in the future, I will do everything I can to preserve it. I hope Your Highness will think twice before using this map to do anything."

"Shen Moyou, do you know what you are talking about?"

Xiao Linchuan frowned and looked at her, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, "Are you threatening me?"

Shen Moyu knew that Xiao Linchuan had feelings for her, but Xiao Linchuan was not a fool. When it did not involve his own interests, he was naturally willing to protect her.

But if it involves personal interests, then the so-called love is nothing but floating clouds. Besides, the sudden temporary stay of Xiao Linchuan in the Jiangxue Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not just because of the suspicion caused by her completely different attitudes before and after.

"Your Highness, you are overthinking. This is not a threat, but a warning. Your Highness is in a high position and has great power. It would be like crushing an ant to death, isn't it?"

"Little girl, don't try to provoke me. It will do you no good."

Xiao Linchuan curled his lips and smiled lightly, which made Shen Moyu feel cold down her spine. She knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, but compared to other people in the Xiao family, this man was at least still a human being.

"If your Highness has nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

"I heard you released Shen Lian'er at the Hundred Flowers Banquet in five days?"

Xiao Linchuan stopped Shen Moyou who was eager to leave Jiangxue Pavilion, "All unmarried princes and princesses must attend that day. What bad things are you planning?"

"It's nothing, Your Highness, please don't slander me. Third sister is my father's daughter after all. Wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't attend this kind of event?"

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Linchuan to speak, he quickly slipped away, running faster than a rabbit.

"Master, Miss Shen just clearly stated that she wants to protect the Mo family. Could it be that the Shen family and the Mo family are not one and the same?"

Xie Li originally couldn't see through his own master, but now he found that he couldn't see through the eldest daughter of the Shen family, who was called a fool by everyone in the imperial city.

"Shen Lingfeng has never been a person who is content with what she has. If that day really comes, it would be a great achievement for her to be able to protect the Mo family."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear. Just as Shen Lingfeng was mentioned, someone outside the Jiangxue Pavilion came in with a message, saying that Prime Minister Shen was waiting outside and wanted to see the Regent.

When you are under someone's roof, you should be polite to each other. Xiao Linchuan sat quietly and waited.

"I have met His Highness the Regent."

Last night, Mo Wushuang told him that the Regent would stay in Jiangxue Pavilion temporarily. He was a little skeptical, but it was too late and he didn't want to disturb him rashly.

After seeing it with his own eyes in Jiangxue Pavilion today, Shen Lingfeng still felt that it was a bit like a dream. He couldn't figure out the reason why Xiao Linchuan wanted to live in the Prime Minister's Residence. After all, he had little interaction with this young and mysterious Regent Prince in the past.

"Minister Shen, there is no need to be so polite. I am sorry to bother you. I hope you will bear with me."

As soon as Xiao Linchuan finished speaking, Shen Lingfeng responded with fear and trepidation, "Your Highness, you are joking. I am afraid that the Prime Minister's residence has not entertained you well and neglected Your Highness."

"My mansion needs some time for repairs. I may have to trouble Prime Minister Shen for a long time."

Xiao Linchuan was very blunt, and Shen Lingfeng broke out in sweat when he heard it. He couldn't understand why he suddenly set his sights on the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Your Highness, you can stay in the Prime Minister's Residence as long as you want. If you need anything, just let me know. I will take my leave now."

"Prime Minister Shen, I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Since I'm temporarily staying in Jiangxue Pavilion, I'll say a few more words. Marquis Wuyang will never let his daughter become a concubine. Family affairs and state affairs are closely related. Prime Minister Shen is a smart man and should understand."
