"I have met His Highness the Regent."

Everyone saluted, and no one could imagine why Xiao Linchuan suddenly appeared here! ?

You have to know that he would never set foot there before. Even Xiao Xuan was stunned. She stared at him blankly and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"No need to be so polite. I just heard that today's competition was interesting so I came to join in the fun."

Xiao Linchuan sat down next to Crown Prince Xiao Qi, turned around and looked at him with deep eyes, "Xiao Qi, have you made it?"

"Little uncle, where did you get this from?"

Xiao Qi had tried his best to show that he was not afraid of Xiao Linchuan, but as soon as he appeared, his aura was impossible to ignore.

"What is the purpose of holding the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

Xiao Linchuan asked coldly.

Xiao Qi immediately broke out in a sweat, "To reply to the little uncle, it is for the noble ladies and gentlemen of the imperial city to have an opportunity to have fun and get to know each other."

"If that's the case, then why didn't you let Miss Shen withdraw from the competition just now?"

"Little uncle..."

Xiao Linchuan tapped the tabletop with his fingers from time to time, his posture was leisurely yet full of pressure, "This king wants to hear the truth."

"Miss Shen was playing chess with my seventh brother just now. She relied on her outstanding chess skills to fool my seventh brother."

Although Xiao Qi is the crown prince, he lacks some cunning, otherwise he would not have lost to Xiao Ting in the end, and lost so miserably.

"Miss Shen, is what the prince said true?"

Xiao Linchuan turned around to look at Shen Moyu who was still standing on the stage, being stopped by Crown Prince Xiao Qi's men and not allowed to come down.

Knowing that Xiao Linchuan was trying to help her out, she accepted the favor and shook her head to deny it.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. I have never dared to fool you. It's just that my chess skills have not yet reached the level of perfection. Your Highness the Seventh Prince proposed to compete with me, and I dare not refuse. I have tried my best not to let Your Highness the Seventh Prince lose too badly."

Every word Shen Moyu said was about not daring, but every word was so bold that everyone present gasped.

Xiao Xuan even secretly gave Shen Moyu a thumbs up. He was indeed the person that her little uncle liked.

What a courage!

"Your Highness, did you hear clearly?"

Xiao Linchuan's words were also very clear, implying that Shen Moyu was the person he wanted to protect, and let Xiao Qi handle it himself.

"Please forgive me, little uncle. I was impulsive."

No matter how stupid Xiao Qi was, he could understand what Xiao Linchuan meant. He signaled with his eyes that the people who were stopping Shen Moyu should move aside.

This action also invisibly stimulated Xiao Ting, who watched Shen Moyu walk off the stage with an undercurrent hidden in his lowered brows.

Shen Moyu, what exactly are you hiding?

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed to let me withdraw from the competition, can I leave now?"

Anyway, she has Xiao Linchuan's support, so she won't be polite. She was timid in her previous life, but she will live freely in this life.

"Go slowly and don't send me away!"

"Mo You, I'll go to Shen's house to play with you in a few days."

Xiao Xuan waved at Shen Moyu and smiled brightly.

"it is good."

After coming out of the Zijin Palace, Shen Moyu was stopped by someone just as he was about to get on the carriage.

"Please forgive me, Miss Shen. My master wants to see you. Please move aside, Miss."

"who are you?"

Shen Moyu glanced at the man standing in front of her with a respectful attitude. He was fair and clean, but the knife at his side reminded her that this man was not simple.

"My lady, I am Acorus, and I mean no harm to you. Please move aside."

This was the first time that Changpu met Shen Moyu. He had only heard from Jie Li that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had a strange personality and was not easy to mess with. But when he met her today, he found her to be quite nice.

"Are you someone close to Xiao Linchuan?"

Changpu took back what he had just said, that someone dared to call his master by her name. This Miss Shen should be someone who is not easy to mess with.

"Miss, there are too many people here, please follow me."

Changpu did not deny his identity, but continued to ask Shen Moyu to follow him.

Since he was Xiao Linchuan's man, Shen Moyu no longer hesitated and obediently followed him into another carriage.

The carriage was heading in the opposite direction of the Shen Mansion. When Shen Moyu lifted the curtain and looked, they had already left the city.

"Where are you taking me?"

Acorus drove the carriage and explained loudly, "Don't worry, Miss. I am only taking you there at the request of the master. We will be there soon."

As they were talking, the carriage had stopped. Li Yue and Meng Dong helped Shen Moyu get off the carriage. When they looked up, they saw a mansion with the three big characters "Kai Xin Lou" written on the plaque.

"This Happy Building..."

Shen Moyou turned to look at Chang Pu with a frown on his face, a little puzzled, "The name is very creative."

"My master named it. He said that Happy Building was built to make people happy and forget their worries."

As Acorus spoke, he pushed open the door. The outside of the yard looked ordinary, but the inside of the yard was a different scene.

Beauty!

Looking around, Shen Moyu saw only a sea of ​​beauties, some passionate, some reserved, and some unrestrained. There were definitely at least twenty of them, if not dozens, and each beauty was in a different state and appearance.

Some were playing the piano, some were having fun, and some were even playing mahjong, rock-paper-scissors, and drinking, but they all had one thing in common.

That is, they all have smiles on their faces that make people relax unconsciously, as if as soon as you see them, you will naturally feel happy physically and mentally.

"Acorus, what is this place? Where is your master?"

Shen Moyu was surprised. She had no idea in her past and present life that there was such a place near the imperial city.

"I just said that this is Happy Building. It is the place where all the unhappy people in the world go."

"Then why did your master build such a place?"

Shen Moyu couldn't understand it. Moreover, based on her understanding of Xiao Linchuan, this person didn't fit in with this building at all.

Or maybe she never really understood Xiao Linchuan.

"It would be better if you ask my master in person about this question."

Changpu made a "please" gesture, indicating Shen Moyu to go to the second floor.

In the room at the end of the second floor, Xiao Linchuan was already waiting inside.

"Your Highness, the Regent, I remember you were sitting with His Highness the Crown Prince just now. Why are you in Happy Tower now?"

Shen Moyu looked around the room. Actually, it was nothing special. It was just an ordinary tea room, filled with the calming aroma of tea.

Xiao Linchuan sat cross-legged on the tatami, his hands supporting his chin and his head tilted to look at her, "Little girl, what do you think of this place?"

"Your Highness, are you referring to the beauties I just saw?"

Shen Moyou stood by the door and was not in a hurry to go in. "I didn't expect that Your Highness has such a hobby. This minister is impressed by you."

In fact, she had just looked carefully. Although there were many beauties in the Happy Building, it was not an indecent place. Even when she came in, those people did not pay attention to her at all, but focused on their own things.
