In the inner Buddhist hall, Mu Xingze was burning prayer flags, and there was no one else besides him.

Shen Qinglan noticed this scene as soon as she entered the door, and Yan'er called out in surprise when she saw it.

"Young Master?"

Mu Xingze stood up, the original Langlang boy looked a little more haggard.

"Sisi..."

Mu Xingze murmured, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he walked forward in a proper manner and paid respects.

"Mu family Xingze, I have met the princess regent."

"Young Lord, you don't need to be too polite. I don't know why Young Lord is here?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"The Empress Dowager wanted to invite Master Ziyin to read with her, so she allowed me to enter the palace. Today, the Empress Dowager said that she wanted me to come and help burn the prayer flags to save the late Emperor and the late Crown Prince." Mu Xingze said.

Shen Qinglan sneered secretly, it turned out that the empress dowager had this idea.

"Young Lord, I wonder if the Empress Dowager will come?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"This... I don't know either." Mu Xingze said.

Shen Qinglan nodded, glanced at the half-burned prayer flags, and said: "Young Master, we are different in status, so it is not good to meet here. Although today is an accident, we can't delay any longer. Qinglan still has something to do, please avoid it for the time being, Young Master."

"But……"

Mu Xingze was a little hesitant, after all, he hadn't finished the errands assigned by the empress dowager.

"Young Master, don't worry, I will burn these prayer flags for you."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, he walked to the incinerator and began to burn the prayer flags.

Mu Xingze stood behind her, wanted to leave but couldn't move.

"Princess, are you okay?"

"Thank you, Young Master, for your concern. I'm fine."

Shen Qinglan replied lightly, but Mu Xingze was still worried.

"Sister, I know that my sister is now the regent princess and is deeply loved. I also hope that my sister will be safe and successful in this life. Although I am nothing now, if one day my sister needs my help, I will definitely help her." Do your best." Mu Xingze said.

Shen Qinglan frowned slightly, paused in the movements of his hands, and said, "Although the young master is in trouble for a while, I also hope that you can cheer up and work hard in the future."

Mu Xingze chuckled, "That day, although my Mu family humiliated you, but if it wasn't for the regent... Forget it, I don't know who to blame for this matter. I only blame... Fate's teasing. In the next life, If you and I..."

"Brother Xingze." Shen Qinglan interrupted him, "Brother Xingze and I have a friendship when we were young, and in my heart, I have always regarded you as my own brother, please stop saying such things. "

"Sisi, don't you even want to leave me with a little thought?" Mu Xingze shook his head, and said again: "I don't believe it, I don't believe you have always regarded me as your brother! We had a chance! "

"The past is over, young master, people can't always live in the past, they have to look forward. Now, I am the princess of the regent and the daughter-in-law of the royal family. If the words of the young master are spread, then it will be It's going to put me in a place of disloyalty, filial piety and obedience to women's virtues." Shen Qinglan said.

Mu Xingze was silent for a moment, then bowed his hands again, and said, "Princess Regent, the villain will take his leave first."

Shen Qinglan continued to burn the prayer flags, and said: "Young Lord, go slowly."

Yan'er looked at Mu Xingze's back and sighed.

"I can see you today, I can't believe that the young master will no longer be as energetic as before." Yan'er said.

"It seems that the Empress Dowager will not come again, so follow me to Zening Palace." Shen Qinglan said, and put the last prayer flag into the incinerator.

"Is the princess still going?" Yan'er was a little worried.

"Naturally, let's go."

In Zening Hall, Mother Meng is reporting what happened in the Buddhist hall.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the little maids in our palace are quietly watching in secret. When the young master sees the princess regent, he keeps talking about his deep love regardless of the princess's marriage." Nanny Meng said.

"It seems that this matter is indeed true. Mu Xingze still can't let go of Shen Qinglan." said the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager, this servant has already found out that it was the regent's handwriting that Nanyanghou's family came to Beijing." Mother Meng said.

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down again, and said: "At that time, General Wei returned to the capital from the border guards. He wanted to make a good marriage for Wei Junqiao. No, I didn’t pick anyone I liked in the end. The first emperor wanted General Wei to fulfill his wish, and he also helped to make peace. In the end, it was Lin Chuan who mentioned the young master of the Mu family who was far away in Luoping. This marriage."

"The Mu family has a title, Madam Hou is still the daughter of our Jiang family's direct descendant, she has a high status, so she is worthy of the Wei family." Nanny Meng said.

"Although the Mu family is in Luoping City, they hold military power, and the late emperor was also afraid. Taking this opportunity to let Nanyanghou's family return to Beijing is also a good thing for the court. Linchuan's move won the favor of the late emperor. In addition, Zhe Ling has been looking forward to returning to the capital, and the matter is already half done." The Empress Dowager said.

Mother Meng picked up her fan to fan the queen mother, and said: "I heard that before the Mu family came to Beijing, the grand lady of the Shen family celebrated her birthday, and Lord Mu came here uninvited. I am afraid that at that time, Lord Mu and The two regents and concubines have already made a private decision for life."

"Although this is the case, Linchuan has known about this for a long time, so it is quite difficult to deal with it. It is necessary to let the world know, so that Shen Qinglan can be completely dragged into the water, and the Shen family will also suffer. Without the help of the Shen family, the emperor and the regent can also Be less arrogant." The Empress Dowager said.

Mother Meng snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Princess Regent actually took the limelight at your Qianqiu Banquet, and even used her own financial resources to talk about things. She really is beyond her control. As everyone knows, everything in this world belongs to the royal family. The royal family can take it back whenever they want. At the beginning, if the empress hadn't advised the first emperor to make her a country lord, how could she have what she is today?"

Anger flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun are ungrateful, and the Ai family will never tolerate it."

At this time, the servant guarding the door outside came in to report.

"Empress Dowager, the Princess Regent is here."

"Let her in."

"Yes."

As soon as Shen Qinglan entered the door, he knelt down and saluted Ann.

"The concubine has met the empress dowager, the empress dowager Jin An."

"The princess regent doesn't need to perform such a grand ceremony, please get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After Shen Qinglan took her seat, the empress dowager supported her forehead, and Nanny Meng said, "Princess Regent, the empress dowager wanted to tell you something, but she was not feeling well today, so she couldn't go out."

"The mother is serious. The empress dowager has something to do, so just send the message directly. The ministers and concubines are meager, so they should come to see you at the door." Shen Qinglan lowered his head and asked, "Is the empress dowager feeling better now?"

The Empress Dowager straightened her body, and said: "It's okay to mourn the family, please worry about the princess. Come and serve tea."
