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

Several noble ladies immediately knelt down with pale faces and begged for mercy.

"Princess Four, calm down. We just took advantage of the verbal exchange and we have no ill intentions."

"Yes, yes, Fourth Princess, we were just playing a joke on Miss Shen."

"Miss Shen, please say something. We are just joking with you."

If the knife is not stabbed into your body, you will never feel pain. You will only feel fear when your own interests are damaged. People are the same. This is reality!

Xiao Xuan looked at Shen Moyou with clear eyes, "Miss Shen, tell me, are they playing a joke on you?"

"No."

She had just wanted to use the Prime Minister's Mansion to give them a light punishment or a severe warning after the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but now that she has someone backing her up, she naturally would not waste this opportunity to bully others.

What's more, these noble ladies, no matter in their past lives or this life, are always gossipy and really noisy.

"Shen Moyou, our fathers are officials in the same court. How can you be so ruthless?"

Shen Moyou smiled coldly, "When you all ridiculed me and laughed at the Shen family just now, did you show any mercy?"

"you!"

Xiao Xuan waved her hand with an impatient look on her face, "Take him away, take him away!"

The ladies wanted to beg for mercy again, but unfortunately they were pulled away by the nanny beside Xiao Xuan.

Shen Moyou bowed politely and said, "Thank you, Princess Four, for helping me out."

"Miss Shen, you don't have to be so polite. I can't stand their faces."

Xiao Xuan was serious, her tone full of solemnity, "Besides, your grandfather has made great contributions in defending Mingzhen. These nobles in the imperial city are bullying his granddaughter. A little punishment should let them know that words can cause trouble."

Shen Moyou couldn't help but be moved. So in the Xiao royal family, not everyone thought that it was natural for the Mo family to defend the Ming Dynasty, but they thought it was their duty and credit for their hard work.

Her grandfather used the flesh and blood of the Mo family's soldiers to build an unbreakable wall for Ming Zhen. However, in his previous life, Xiao Ting repaid evil with kindness, which led to the annihilation of the entire Mo family. Such a deep blood feud could not be made up by Xiao Xuan's small rescue.

"Your humble servant thanks the Fourth Princess."

Shen Moyou bowed again to express his gratitude, but Xiao Xuan raised her hand to stop him, "I told you it's just a piece of cake. I heard what you said to them just now."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed the Fourth Princess."

"I won't laugh at you, but what you did just now was a little different from before. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have taken action."

Xiao Xuan's words revealed his admiration for Shen Moyou. He approached him and changed the subject, "But I heard that a while ago, you fell off the rockery in the Prime Minister's Mansion in order to see my seventh brother. Is that true?"

Uh……

This matter can't be passed, right?

Every day since her rebirth, someone reminded her of the foolishness of being infatuated with Xiao Ting in her past and present lives. Every time she was reminded, she hated Xiao Ting a little more.

"It's just a rumor. There is a huge gap between me and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. How dare I have any hope of that?"

"Oh, is it so?"

Xiao Xuan stared at Shen Moyu with her eyes full of joking smiles. She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. "This is the fact. This subject has never had any feelings for His Highness the Seventh Prince."

"I also think you look down on my seventh brother, Miss Shen. We get along well. How about we be companions at the Hundred Flowers Banquet today?"

"I am deeply honored."

"I hate complicated formalities. Why don't you just call me Xuan'er and I'll call you Moyou?"

"Whatever the Fourth Princess says is what happens."

Shen Moyu was on guard. She and Xiao Xuan didn't have much interaction in her previous life, but in this life, she seemed to be getting close to her on purpose, making it hard for her not to worry.

"I already told you to call me Xuan'er."

Xiao Xuan reached out and pinched Shen Moyu's face with some dissatisfaction. It was soft and she couldn't help but pinch it a few more times.

Shen Moyou stepped back in fear, looking up at her in shock, but she retracted her hand with a hint of unfulfilled desire, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Moyou, I'm easy to get along with."

"There is a difference between the monarch and his subjects. The fourth princess is still..."

"Oh, don't mind these empty formalities, just try calling me Xuan'er."

Xiao Xuan held Shen Moyu's hand and walked up the steps of the Purple Gold Palace, as if she didn't hear the surprised discussions around her.

"Why is the Fourth Princess so close to Miss Shen?"

"Isn't this Shen Moyou a well-known idiot? He must have used some tricks to confuse the Fourth Princess."

……

"Mo You, don't pay attention to those people. They are all very mean."

"it is good."

Xiao Xuan pulled Shen Moyou to stop in front of a row of green chrysanthemums, "Look at this row of green chrysanthemums, aren't they very special and beautiful?"

“It’s really special.”

Shen Moyu nodded in agreement. In her previous life, her heart and eyes were filled with Xiao Ting, so she had no idea what kind of flowers were in the Zijin Palace.

Now the mentality is different, and naturally the focus is also different. There are a variety of flowers in full bloom in the Zijin Palace, including green chrysanthemums, white peonies, blue roses, and even pink hyacinths.

There were also many varieties of flowers that she had never seen before. The fragrance of flowers filled the air with every breath, making people feel happy.

"This is the flower that my royal grandfather loved the most, Concubine Rou, who was the favorite concubine of the harem. She was the most favored concubine in the harem, and she was so glorious. Unfortunately, she passed away after giving birth to my little uncle."

Xiao Xuan said this with regret, but for some reason, Shen Moyu felt that these words were said deliberately for her.

Moreover, about Concubine Rou, when Xiao Ting ascended the throne later and she was in charge of the harem, he had also heard something about her. This Concubine Rou was a princess sent by Dazhao to marry a foreign prince. She was as beautiful as a fairy and the late emperor fell in love with her at first sight. He took her into the harem and made her a concubine that year, doting on her.

She became pregnant in the third year after entering the palace, but due to her weak body, she almost lost both her life and gave birth to a son after trying her best.

"You should know who the little uncle I'm talking about is, right?"

Xiao Xuan seemed to be testing Shen Moyou's reaction. Shen Moyou gave her a strange look and said, "It's the current Regent Prince, right?"

The reason why Xiao Linchuan could become the regent was not only because of his own abilities, but also because of the favor of the late emperor.

Before the late emperor passed away, he issued two edicts. One was to appoint the six-year-old Xiao Linchuan as regent, who would never be deposed. The other was an edict of succession to Xiao Ting.

Xiao Xuan smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I thought you didn't know."

Only the royal family and a very small number of aristocratic families knew about Xiao Linchuan's background as the son of Concubine Rou. Outsiders only thought that he was the late emperor's most beloved youngest son, who could get whatever he wanted.

"Hey, isn't this Shen Lian'er? Why is she here in the carriage of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion?"

"I think Marquis Wuyang loves his granddaughter and supports her with his mansion. Look at how arrogant she is. She is almost looking down on others."

The noise at the door also attracted Shen Moyou and Xiao Xuan to look outside. Seeing Shen Lian'er, Xiao Xuan said with some contempt, "Moyou, your third sister is not an easy person to deal with."

Shen Moyou smiled indifferently, "Marquis Wuyang is just thinking about family affection and pity my third sister."

"big sister."

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Lian'er running towards him with shining eyes.
