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

"Why did you tell me, Your Highness?"

Shen Moyu didn't know what was going on in Xiao Linchuan's mind. Was their relationship already so close that he had no scruples about being with her and had nothing to hide?

"Because I think that we should end up in the same place, Shen Moyou, you once told me that you don't like the Xiao royal family, so I'm giving you a way out..."

"Your Highness, it's getting late. It seems that it's time for dinner."

Shen Moyou was panicking and opened the door quickly. He said to Li Yue who was standing outside the door, "Add another pair of chopsticks for dinner today. His Royal Highness the Regent will also come."

"Yes, ma'am."

Knowing that Shen Moyou was trying to escape, Xiao Linchuan did not point it out to her. Instead, he turned his head and said to Jie Li, "Tell him that the Fourth Princess cannot go back for the time being, so he should be patient."

"But Master, you didn't even ask the Fourth Princess..."

Xie Li couldn't help but talk back, but when he met Xiao Linchuan's warning eyes, he shut up in fear.

He was still very conscious of the current situation. Nothing was more important than his own life. "Yes, I will go right away."

Because of Xiao Linchuan's presence at tonight's dinner, Shengxia's dinner has become more varied.

Pig trotter soup, stir-fried beef with lotus root tips, spare ribs with black bean sauce, fish head with chopped pepper, boiled fish, and braised prawns, and finally topped with garlic-fried choy sum. The food is delicious and makes one's mouth water.

"Your Highness, please try it and see if it suits your taste. Shengxia's cooking skills are superb."

Shen Moyou picked up a piece of pork ribs for him and said, "Eat more meat. I'm sorry that His Highness has been worried about me these days."

"You're trying to please me?"

Xiao Linchuan brought the ribs to his mouth and took a bite. "It tastes good."

"Would you like to eat Jie Li together? I'll add a pair of chopsticks."

Shen Moyu didn't answer him, but turned to look at Jie Li who was standing aside and swallowing his saliva.

"Okay...I'm not hungry."

Just as Xie Li was about to agree, he felt Xiao Linchuan's sinister gaze and immediately shook his head, "Thank you, Miss Shen."

"Or you can go eat with Liyue and the others. The food is the same. It's so late, how can you not be hungry? Don't look at your master."

Shen Moyou glared at Xiao Linchuan, and said to Jie Li, who wanted to shrink into a ball and disappear, "The Rose Courtyard is my territory, your master has no say."

"Didn't you hear what Miss Shen said? Go quickly!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Xie Li did not listen to Shen Moyu, but waited for Xiao Linchuan to speak before running out happily.

"It seems that Your Highness often exploits his subordinates."

Shen Moyou picked up a piece of chopped pepper fish head with chopsticks, looked at Xiao Linchuan who was eating elegantly and teased him, "Jie Li is afraid of you like a mouse seeing a cat."

"You feel sorry for him?"

Xiao Linchuan's focus was always weird, and Shen Moyu put the fish into his mouth angrily.

"Your Highness should use your mouth to eat."

This meal was surprisingly harmonious except for the occasional bickering between the two. Both Xiao Linchuan and Shen Moyu enjoyed this moment of quiet and leisure.

But moments like this always pass very quickly. Meng Dong's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Fu Sheng, who is with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, has handed in a note."

With a "click", Xiao Linchuan placed his chopsticks hard on the table, and his expression became visibly ugly.

Shen Moyu was also a little unhappy, but since he had come to him on his own initiative, there was no reason for him to return empty-handed.

"Bring it in so I can see it."

Meng Dong walked in and handed the post in his hand to Shen Moyu, "Ji Chun checked it, there is no problem with this post."

With the previous experience of the bewitching incense in Qingya Temple, Ji Chun would check everything sent to the Rose Courtyard again and again before handing it to Shen Moyu.

“What did the post say?”

As soon as Shen Moyu finished reading, Xiao Linchuan couldn't wait to ask. The latter did not hide it and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ting invited me to have tea at Wanfulou, next to Jieyoupu, at noon tomorrow."

"Are you going then?"

In fact, Xiao Linchuan was not very willing for Shen Moyou to see Xiao Ting. As a man, he knew too well the look in Xiao Ting's eyes when he looked at Shen Moyou. That kind of possessiveness of "Shen Moyou is his property" made him feel very uncomfortable.

"why are you not going?"

Shen Moyou smiled and asked him, "I think Wuyang Marquis' Mansion is not immune from the problem. If I don't go, can this play go on?"

"Shen Moyou, I told you that you can't put yourself in danger!"

"Your Highness, that's a teahouse, in full view of everyone. Besides, I'll let Roland and Bai Zhi follow us, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Shen Moyu knew that he couldn't go against Xiao Linchuan at this time, so he obediently cooperated with him to persuade him.

"Your Highness, don't you think so? Xiao Ting has been haunting me these days. If I don't find a way to get rid of him, then he will cling to me even more tightly in the future, right?"

"then you go."

Although Xiao Linchuan felt uncomfortable with the way Xiao Ting looked at Shen Moyu, Shen Moyu was right and avoiding the problem would not solve it.

You have to face it to know what the other party wants to do and what cards they have in their hand.

"Xiao Ting is more scheming than the Crown Prince, so you better be careful."

"I know."

"Go to bed early. I will have someone follow you secretly tomorrow."

Still worried, Shen Moyu smiled somewhat helplessly, but still let him go. If sending someone to follow him could put his mind at ease, then let him follow.

Seeing Xiao Linchuan walking out of the gate of the Rose Courtyard in a blatant manner, Li Yue was a little scared.

"Miss, I feel that His Royal Highness the Regent has become more and more daring. He used to climb through the window, but now he has changed to going through the main door. He is really getting more and more aggressive!"

"Let him be."

Shen Moyu didn't take Li Yue's complaint seriously. Anyway, the relationship between her and Xiao Linchuan was complicated and it didn't matter which relationship they went through.

"Miss, will it be dangerous for you to meet His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince tomorrow?"

Li Yue had just heard Xiao Linchuan's repeated instructions, and she was actually feeling a little uneasy.

After all, at the Hundred Flowers Banquet and last time in the teahouse, this Seventh Prince did not have any good intentions. Now he is sending an invitation to the door again. Who knows what he is up to?

"Don't worry, we won't give him a chance."

It's time to settle the grudge between her and Xiao Ting. She will do everything she can in this life to block Xiao Ting's path to the supreme position he wants!

……

"Has the post been delivered?"

As soon as Fu Sheng returned to the palace, Xiao Ting asked anxiously, "Did she say anything?"

"Your Highness, Miss Shen only said that she would keep the appointment as scheduled, and there is nothing else."

Fu Sheng was somewhat surprised by Xiao Ting's reaction. He felt that he seemed a little too excited, but he didn't dare to say it.

"As long as she is willing to go to the appointment."

Xiao Ting breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Moyu seemed to hate him and was always in a bad mood whenever he saw him.

However, what his grandfather, Marquis Wuyang, said was correct. Rather than marrying the crown prince, he would be more suitable to marry Shen Moyu.
