During the male guests' banquet, the dignitaries also heard about what happened at the female family members' banquet.

Shen Qingshi couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Sisi was indeed too modest, and the poems written back then were not written by others.

This girl is hiding so deeply.

However, the sentence composition this time is a bit worse than that of the past.

"Prince Regent, the princess is so talented in literature and cares about the people so much. She is truly a blessing to our dynasty!" Grand Prime Minister Fan said.

Zhao Shun raised his wine glass and said, "Having such a good wife is also my blessing, Zhao Shun."

"Prince Regent, Xingze would like to toast you."

At this time, Mu Xingze came to Zhao Shun.

Zhao Shun turned to look at him and said with a smile: "You and I both have the blood of the Jiang family, so Xingze doesn't need to be so polite."

"The prince is now of high status, and Xingze doesn't dare to climb high."

Mu Xingze's expression was indifferent, with neither joy nor resentment.

Zhao Shun knew that he was in the wrong. Although he had helped the Mu family a lot over and over again for so long, the knot in Xingze's heart could not be easily undone.

The two drank, and Mu Xingze bowed and left, returning to his seat.

The surrounding dignitaries all went to toast, and it was particularly quiet here.

Luo Zirui had been watching this scene and asked: "Xingze, isn't the Regent your uncle? Why are you so indifferent? I think... the Regent is interested in making friends with you."

"You think too much."

Mu Xingze said nothing else, and Luo Zirui didn't ask any more questions.

"Sigh... I originally thought that I could have a word with sister Qinglan today, but there is no chance at all." Luo Zirui sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.

Mu Xingze looked at him helplessly, "Zi Rui, she is already the concubine of the current regent, which is not what you should think about. If others really find out, where will the face of your Luo family go? Now Luo

Although my family has a title, it is already going downhill, and you are not in any hurry."

"Why should I care so much? As long as I, Luo Zirui, am still the young prince of the Hou family, what can others do? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and everyone's life is fate. I can't control what happens a hundred years from now. Besides,

, I just said one sentence to you, but you don’t understand me so much." Luo Zirui said.

"I really don't understand you, but we only met each other a few times, how can we become so deeply in love?" Mu Xingze sighed.

Luo Zirui chuckled, "Perhaps it was because I had too much hope at the beginning that I feel so resentful now. I always thought that she was the one who wanted to marry me, but it wasn't the case. I was tricked by someone, but I still hate it.

stand up."

Mu Xingze also smiled, so why not?

At the banquet at Prince Ling's Mansion, Chu Xiang and Cui Ru planned to frame Shen Qinglan, but Shen Qinglan turned his army against him. Luo Zirui and Miss Chu had a happy time in the garden, and finally became husband and wife.

Now that he understands everything, Luo Zirui still can't hate Shen Qinglan. After all, she almost became a victim, and there were elements of last resort in the past.

While in Luoping City, Mu Xingze was framed by Zhao Shun and lost Shen Qinglan. After the Mu family came to Beijing, he married Wei Junqiao.

But what happened back then was not just Zhao Shun's fault, his father and mother did not agree with their marriage. Zhao Shun has helped the Mu family so much over the years, and being his uncle, Mu Xingze also did the same

I can't bring myself to hate you.

But he couldn't reveal his feelings without hesitation like Luo Zirui, so the depression in his heart became even deeper.

"Xingze, you used to be in Luoping City. You and Qinglan must have known each other, right? What's going on between you and her?" Luo Zirui asked.

"She and I... have nothing to do with each other. It's just the friendship between our grandmothers when we were young," Mu Xingze replied.

Luo Zirui looked at him and smiled: "You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. When I mentioned her while boating on the river, your reaction was unusual. I haven't asked you for such a long time. Is it possible?

Are you afraid that I will betray you and spread these things everywhere?"

"It's not a big deal..." Mu Xingze poured a glass of wine and said, "It's just that at the beginning, my mother thought that the Shen family had a bad background, so it was difficult for the marriage to happen."

"Ah……"

Luo Zirui laughed after hearing this, "You are much better than me. At any rate, Qinglan still has a place for you in her heart. But I have always been just my own whim."

"There is no difference between you and me now. Everything in the past has finally passed and there is no going back..." Mu Xingze said.

Luo Zirui picked up the wine glass and said, "How did you say that? Well... Oh, yes, we are both fallen people from the end of the world. You and I, brothers, should have a drink together."

"good."

-

The Qianqiu Banquet was over, and the Queen Mother also returned to her bedroom.

Nanny Meng served the Queen Mother and took off the hairpin, and asked: "Your Majesty, the bathing soup is ready. Do you want to take a bath now?"

The Queen Mother's face was full of displeasure, "Shen Qinglan is really talented and calculating. The Ai family really underestimated her. No wonder Linchuan doesn't look down on Miss Zhuo and the three of them. Today, I could have defeated them.

To dampen her spirit, it was actually self-defeating..."

"Even so, I did hear something about the regent princess today," said Mother Meng.

"Oh? What's the matter?" The Queen Mother suddenly became interested.

"Old slave, I don't understand. Yuzhu heard this. Let her tell you in detail."

After saying that, Nanny Meng sent someone to call Yuzhu in.

"Yuzhu, tell the Queen Mother exactly what you heard today." Mother Meng ordered.

However, Yuzhu bowed and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, my servant was serving drinks at the men's table today. I overheard Luo Xiaohou and Mu Xiaohou whispering, as if... both of them loved the regent princess.

"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked, "What is going on?"

"The slave didn't listen to the whole story. He only heard that later Luo Xiaohou asked Mu Xiaohou what his relationship was with the regent princess when he was in Luoping City. Mu Xiaohou initially said that it was just a friendship between the grandmothers, but Luo Xiaohou

The Marquis didn't believe it, so he asked again." Yuzhu said.

Aunt Meng couldn't wait any longer and asked hurriedly: "What did Mr. Mu say?"

"Master Mu Xiaohou said that at that time, Mrs. Nanyang Hou looked down on the Shen family's background, so the marriage between the two families was canceled," Yuzhu said.

"Then what's going on with Mr. Luo Xiaohou? Why do you say that Mr. Luo Xiaohou also loves the Regent Princess?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Master Luo Xiaohou said that Master Mu was stronger than him. At least the Princess Regent had had him in her heart before, but Master Luo Xiaohou always had his own whims. The slave also heard that Master Luo Xiaohou called the Princess Regent...

...Qinglan." Yuzhu said.

"Qinglan... The Ai family of Mr. Luo Xiaohou knows that he has always been greedy for beauty, but the marriage between the Shen family and the Mu family... what's going on? Aunt Meng, you will send someone to Luoping City tomorrow.

Let's find out." The Queen Mother curled her lips and said: "If this is true, then there will be something good to watch in this city of Kyoto. Shen Qinglan has repeatedly opposed the Ai family, so she should be in trouble with the Ai family.

Once in hand."

"The regent princess is just a merchant, and she dares not to obey your advice. It is useless to keep such a princess." Nanny Meng said with a smile.

"Don't she want a good reputation? The Ai family won't let her get what she wants!"
