Shen Fengjiao's proud expression suddenly froze. She remembered that the affairs of the housekeeper in the palace had been given to Shen Xinyue by Huo Weilou's order!

But the old princess now only has the name of an old lady. The real talker in the house is actually Shen Xinyue!

Thinking of this, Shen Fengjiao's face turned the color of pig liver.

But soon, Shen Fengjiao adjusted again.

"Sister, although the prince asked you to manage the palace, the old lady has been in charge of the palace for many years after all..." Shen Fengjiao did not finish her sentence.

But Shen Xinyue had already heard the meaning of her words.

What Shen Fengjiao was thinking was that the old lady still had many people who supported her in the palace, and none of those people would willingly work under Shen Xinyue.

And what happened that night is the best example.

Shen Xinyue snorted coldly: "Shen Fengjiao, how much say do you think the old lady can still have in the palace?"

Having said that, Shen Xinyue said no more. If Shen Fengjiao really thought that just an old princess could make her walk around in the palace, then she wouldn't mind taking action and giving it to herself, who is not very bright. The concubine takes a free lesson.

"Sister, you don't need to worry about this. Now the old lady likes me very much, and she seems to tacitly allow me to get close to the prince."

"If the prince likes me, sister, what should you do?" Shen Fengjiao laughed.

Shen Xinyue thought about the scene of Shen Fengjiao nestled in Huo Weilou's arms, and couldn't help but shudder.

This picture was so beautiful that she couldn't even imagine it!

Huo Weilou's taste has not reached this level yet, and there is no way he could like Shen Fengjiao.

Even Lan Qingruo, the legendary most talented woman in the capital, failed to impress Huo Weilou.

"Shen Fengjiao, just do your job well and don't think about people you are not worthy of." Shen Xinyue warned.

Shen Xinyue felt that if Shen Fengjiao was allowed to provoke Huo Weilou, Shen Fengjiao might disappear from the capital one day.

But when these words fell into Shen Fengjiao's ears, they had a different meaning and completely changed their meaning.

In Shen Fengjiao's eyes, Shen Xinyue's warning was because she was afraid that she would steal Huo Weilou's heart, causing her to lose her current luxurious life.

"Sister, don't worry, I am bound to win the prince's heart! Even you can get the prince's attention, why can't I? What's more, I also have the support of the old lady. As the regent princess, I am the one whom everyone expects!"

Seeing Shen Fengjiao's appearance as a nymphomaniac who had lost her mind, Shen Xinyue shook her head slightly. This was clearly a puppet pushed out by the old princess.

"It turns out it was the old lady who gave you such confidence. Then sister, please be careful not to become someone else's puppet."

Having said this, Shen Xinyue said no more.

"Humph, it turns out that my sister also likes to talk nonsense! The old lady likes me so much and wants to bring me and the regent together. She thinks that I am worthy of being her daughter-in-law! My sister is not capable, so don't come to sow discord!"

After saying that, Shen Fengjiao walked out of the yard angrily.

Shen Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this noisy guy was sent away, and she could finally get a moment of peace.

At this point, Shen Fengjiao officially settled in the Regent Princess.

She felt that she could rely on the old princess to obtain benefits. The old princess gave her many rewards and encouraged her to go to Huo Weilou with the intention of bringing the two of them together. This made Shen Fengjiao act as her guide without knowing it. puppet.

The original intention of the old princess in letting Shen Fengjiao stay was to use her to stumbling Shen Xinyue so that Shen Xinyue would not be able to jump up.

As for the matchmaking... the old princess just wanted to make Huo Weilou unhappy. After all, she was the one who raised Huo Weilou and she knew very well that Huo Weilou looked down on this stupid woman like Shen Fengjiao.

The old lady had breakfast with Huo Ziyao and his family in Huo Weilou on the second day.

As the person left behind by the old lady, Shen Fengjiao was naturally with her.

Lan Qingruo and Huo Ziyao held hands, looking like a loving couple, and they came to sit side by side.

Huo Weilou came a little late because of something else, and Shen Xinyue was the only one who came.

Shen Xinyue looked around and saw that the people sitting at the table now, besides herself and Huo Ziyao, were the old princess.

She was a little surprised that Shen Fengjiao was not there.

According to Shen Fengjiao's temperament, she should be with the old princess.

Fortunately, Shen Fengjiao did not keep Shen Xinyue waiting for long.

Soon, Shen Fengjiao walked over wearing a goose-yellow dress.

But what makes Shen Xinyue uncomfortable is that closely behind Shen Fengjiao is Huo Weilou!

Moreover, after Huo Weilou entered the room, his stern expression immediately melted away, and there was still a little tenderness in his eyes.

Shen Xinyue was having fun, Huo Weilou was with Shen Fengjiao in less than a stick of incense...?

Huo Weilou was minding his own business and sat between Shen Fengjiao and Shen Xinyue.

"Everyone is here? Let's start eating over there. Finish early and go out early. I have important things to do today." Huo Weilou came and everyone could use their chopsticks to eat.

Most of the others responded to Huo Weilou's words, but Shen Xinyue just said a cold "hmm" and ignored whatever Huo Weilou said.

Huo Weilou wondered, what happened to Shen Xinyue today?

"Yue'er, why did you eat so little today?" Huo Weilou gave Shen Xinyue a chopstick of her favorite dish.

But Shen Xinyue didn't appreciate it. Not only did she not eat, she also put the food into Huo Weilou's bowl.

Shen Fengjiao became green tea at this time: "Sister, why don't you eat the food that the prince has given you? This food is delicious. If sister doesn't want to eat it, I will."

Shen Fengjiao pretended to be pretentious, taking the vegetables that Shen Xinyue didn't want from Huo Weilou's bowl and eating them herself.

Everyone was stunned to see it.

The princess, a concubine... should I say it or not, she is so brave, she actually dares to eat vegetables from Huo Weilou's bowl!

Huo Weilou's expression changed immediately: "Who allows you to touch the things in my bowl?"

Shen Fengjiao thought she was cute. She tilted her head slightly and pouted: "I thought I could eat things that my sister won't eat... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it was Fengjiao who was reckless."

She said she was sorry, but Shen Fengjiao showed no signs of apology.

Shen Xinyue was so angry that she threw her chopsticks and said, "I won't eat it. You guys eat well."

As soon as Shen Xinyue stood up, the eunuchs from the palace came to the palace.

"I have met the regent and the princess, and I have met the old lady and Mr. Huo." As soon as the old eunuch arrived, he bowed to everyone.

He didn't know Shen Fengjiao. There was no such powerful person in the capital, so he just ignored Shen Fengjiao.

Huo Weilou recognized this eunuch as someone from the Queen Mother's Palace.

As soon as the man arrived, he conveyed the Queen Mother's decree to everyone, and then hurried back to the palace to resume his duties.

Shen Xinyue still wanted to lose her temper, but she forgot what she was going to say after being tested for a long time.

Huo Weilou sighed, took Shen Xinyue's hand, and pulled her back to the chair. "Yue'er, eat more. I'm going to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother later. I'm afraid we won't be able to have dinner on time at noon."

"I'm full, I'm going back to my room to rest." Shen Xinyue felt very unhappy when she saw Shen Fengjiao sitting next to Huo Weilou.

However, as soon as Shen Xinyue returned to the house, Huo Weilou followed her in.

"Yue'er, what are you..." Huo Weilou thought about it carefully. When Shen Xinyue lost her temper, it seemed that it was because of Shen Fengjiao's outrageous behavior.

Huo Weilou originally wanted to punish Shen Fengjiao, but his attention was all on Shen Xinyue. When Shen Xinyue returned to the house, he hurriedly chased after her.

"What's wrong with me? Why don't you go and eat a bowl of food with her?" Shen Xinyue became angry when she spoke.

Huo Weilou couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that Yue'er is eating something."

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Shen Xinyue said hard.

"I will punish her."

"This has nothing to do with me. Whatever the prince wants to do, just do it." Shen Xinyue figured it out. She and Huo Weilou had no relationship in the first place. How could she be jealous? What's more, in ancient times, there were three wives and four concubines. This is a completely normal thing.

After thinking about it, Shen Xinyue felt much better. It was just because that person was Shen Fengjiao that she hated, so she didn't think about it for the first time.

"Of course it has something to do with Yue'er. Yue'er is now the regent and controls the financial power of the regent's palace." Huo Weilou sat next to Shen Xinyue, his passionate eyes were not as cold as usual, but full of tenderness.

Shen Xinyue snorted: "The Princess Regent is just a name. The prince and I have only known each other for a few months, and getting married is not what we want. So if the prince wants to marry a concubine, I have no objection."

Huo Weilou's movements stopped, and then he naturally took Shen Xinyue's hand: "Okay, Yue'er, it's time for us to leave for the palace."

After this episode, although the two of them had a clearer understanding of their own feelings, their relationship did not get any further. On the contrary, it became even more estranged.

Shen Xinyue originally thought that this time it was just an ordinary visit, Huo Weilou didn't say much, and she didn't buy any gifts to bring to the palace.

It wasn't until she met the Queen Mother in person that Shen Xinyue remembered that this was her first time entering the palace!

In modern times, no daughter-in-law goes home empty-handed when she goes to visit her husband's relatives.

"I've met the Queen Mother." Shen Xinyue leaned over and saluted.

The Queen Mother has white hair, but she is still energetic. She wears two jade bracelets on her wrists, which are valuable.

"Yes, he looks really handsome."

Shen Xinyue thought that the Queen Mother would be dissatisfied with her and lose her temper with her, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother's first words would be to praise her for her beauty?

Huo Weilou smiled and said: "Queen Mother, Yue'er's appearance makes her the most beautiful woman in the capital."

"Your Majesty is joking." Shen Xinyue looked calm on the surface, but actually she was panicking inside.

The two of them chatted with the Queen Mother for a long time, and Shen Xinyue's heart gradually settled down as time went by.

The Queen Mother had no airs in front of Huo Weilou. She seemed to be a really ordinary grandmother. Her grandson got married, so she came to see her.

"Yue'er, if you have time on weekdays, you will come to the palace more often to talk to the Ai family." The Queen Mother's kind face became more smiley.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I will definitely come to the palace to bother the Queen Mother all the time, just because I am afraid that the Queen Mother will blame me for disturbing the Queen Mother's purity."

The Queen Mother waved her hands cheerfully: "It's too late for the Ai family to be happy that you can accompany them."

Although the Queen Mother has been living in the palace, she has also heard a lot of outside discussions about Shen Xinyue.

This time Shen Xinyue went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knew very well how great the impact of this matter would be. If one person did not handle it well, there would be countless rumors that the Princess Regent was not favored by the Queen Mother. In the future, they would dare to act unscrupulously. Bullying Shen Xinyue.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, summoned her personal maid, and said loudly: "I will give the Princess Regent a thousand taels of gold, three pairs of emerald bracelets, a emerald hairpin, ten pieces of glazed gold silk cloth, and two pairs of luminous pearls..."

The Queen Mother read out a list of things, all of which were priceless treasures. Although there was not much gold, the value of those treasures exceeded ten thousand taels of gold.
