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

"Xuan'er, what are you mumbling about?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

Xiao Xuan quickly shook her head and changed the subject, "Mo You, I'm a little thirsty, go to your courtyard and find me some water."

Shen Moyu didn't hear it clearly, but Xiao Xuan's personal maid Qin Ye heard it clearly and was covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing.

Xiao Xuan was a little annoyed when she heard this, and turned around to glare at her, "Qin Ye, if you laugh again, do you believe that I will make you stand outside the bedroom door in the cold wind all night?"

"I dare not do it again. Please forgive me, Princess."

Qin Yexiao didn't laugh anymore, but she didn't take Xiao Xuan's threat seriously, which shows that the master and servant get along very well.

However, as soon as Xiao Xuan entered the Rose Courtyard, Shen Moyou was dumbfounded. She sat down and said, "Moyou, I want to sleep with you tonight."

Li Yue's hand holding the teacup trembled a little, and some of the tea inside splashed out. It was very hot, but she was unaware of it and stared at Xiao Xuan with wide eyes.

What kind of lewd words are these, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess saying?!

"Your Highness, although you and I are both women, our identities are different after all. Isn't that a bit wrong?"

Shen Moyou refused very politely, but Xiao Xuan didn't listen at all, "I don't care, if the little uncle can live here, why can't I?"

"Xuan'er, how did you know?"

Shen Moyu was a little stunned. It seemed that Xiao Xuan didn't come here just to chat with her.

"Not only do I know, everyone in the palace basically knows about it. What a fool the little uncle is. The Regent Palace is so big, but it's not enough for him to use, yet he still comes to you."

Xiao Xuan held onto Shen Moyou's hand and pouted proudly, "I don't care, you can't be partial to him, otherwise this princess will be angry."

Shen Moyou felt helpless and a little amused, "But Xuan'er, you are under palace ban, how can you live outside? If something happens to you, I will take the entire Xiangfu with me."

Shen Moyu's words were not alarmist. No matter what, Xiao Xuan was the daughter of Emperor Mingzhen and Concubine Ruan, and was worth a lot of money. If something really happened to her and Emperor Mingzhen blamed her, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not be able to withstand the wrath.

"Don't worry, my mother knows that I'm here, and she wants me to get along well with you. Aren't we going to Qingya Temple to burn incense in a few days?"

Xiao Xuan shook Shen Moyu's elbow, "Okay, let me stay here."

She was close to Shen Moyu, not only because she truly liked her, but also because she really wanted to know what was so special about Shen Moyu that made her little uncle miss her so much.

Shen Moyu felt like he was about to be shaken apart by Xiao Xuan, so he had no choice but to compromise.

"Then I'll ask Liyue and Shengxia to clean up and change the bedding. Your Highness the Fourth Princess, please bear with me and squeeze in with me."

"Great."

Crimson Snow Pavilion.

After hearing Jie Li's report about Xiao Xuan staying in the Rose Courtyard, Xiao Linchuan was somewhat displeased, "What the hell is that girl doing?"

"I think the princess likes Miss Shen very much. Maybe she wants to stay and talk more."

"Humph!"

Xiao Linchuan snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. That girl is very cunning. You should keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any trouble."

"Yes."

Xie Li nodded in agreement, and then continued, "Master, there is one more thing."

"explain."

"I heard that the old lady of Wuyang Marquis's Mansion went to Qingya Temple to burn incense for the Shangsi Festival and donated a lot of money. She also contacted the abbot of the temple and asked him to vacate the meditation room in the temple that night."

"anything else?"

"Several maids from the Wuyang Marquis's residence stayed in Qingya Temple today. They did not come out until the evening. I have not yet found out what they did in there."

"No need to check."

Xiao Linchuan's words puzzled Xie Li, "But I heard that Miss Shen and the princess are also going together, so I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Linchuan glanced at him sideways, "If Shen Moyou loses a hair that day, Qingya Temple and Wuyang Marquis Mansion will be buried with him."

"I understand. During the Shangsi Festival, Qingya Temple will be surrounded like an iron barrel."

"Go."

Wuyanghou Mansion.

The few maids who came back from Qingya Temple were all Madam Su's confidants. Now they were all under Su Moli's command, with Aunt Liu as the leader.

"Madam, I have made all the arrangements as you said."

At this time, Su Moli was kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet in Wuyang Marquis' Mansion. The Buddhist beads on her knuckles kept spinning, and the viciousness on her face could no longer be suppressed.

"No one found out, did they? I didn't want anything to go wrong that day."

When Su Moli asked, Mrs. Liu immediately knelt on the ground and said in panic, "Madam, I have checked it carefully, and no one will find it."

"That's good. Prepare all the supplies for burning incense, especially the one for the daughter of the Shen family. You have to be careful."

"Old slave understands."

When Mrs. Liu went downstairs with a few maids, they happened to meet Mrs. Su coming in. Seeing her daughter kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, she burst into tears out of heartache.

"Lil, my poor child, what are you doing kneeling here?"

Old Mrs. Su tremblingly went to help her up, "Hurry up!"

Old Mrs. Su just happened to see her kneeling here, which was naturally her arrangement. Seeing that her goal was achieved, she stood up with tears in her eyes.

"Mother, I am guilty. It is because of my sin that Lian'er has suffered so much. Now it is difficult for her to even see me."

"Didn't I tell you that I would bring her to meet you at Qingya Temple during the Shangsi Festival?"

Old Su hugged her and cried, "Li'er, I will agree to whatever you want, but please stop torturing yourself like this. I heard from people in your courtyard that you have been kneeling here for a whole day and night. Are you trying to make an old woman like me die of heartache?"

"But mother, even if we meet, what does it matter? Lian'er is still a concubine's daughter and will not be able to find a good husband in the future. I have no choice but to kneel here and beg the ancestors of the Su family to bless me so that my Lian'er can marry into a good family."

Every word Su Moli said was like a knife stabbing into Old Madam Su's heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "Li'er, don't you want to return to the Xiangfu and become Shen Lingfeng's second wife? Mother promised you."

"really?"

Su Moli immediately stopped crying and looked at Old Madam Su with a look of surprise, but she immediately lost her temper again, "But Mo Wushuang won't agree to it, and the Mo family won't agree to it either."

"What if she doesn't agree? Mo Wushuang is arrogant and proud, but she has the support of the Mo family. After the Shangsi Festival, I will go to the palace to find your queen sister and let her make the decision."

Old Madam Su was not a pushover. She had been hesitant before because she thought the Prime Minister's Mansion was not a good place to live. But since her daughter wanted it, it was not impossible for her to do as she wished.

"Lier, thank you for your help."

Seeing that Su Moli was about to kneel down and kowtow to thank Old Lady Su, the latter quickly supported her.

"Lier, I'm sorry for you. That's why you have to suffer so much!"

"It's okay, mom. I don't feel wronged."

Su Moli looked sympathetic, "By the way, mother, I asked Lian'er to invite Shen Moyu to go with us on the Shangsi Festival."
