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

"Why invite her? Shen Moyou has done so many bad things to you and your daughter."

Old Madam Su's face darkened, and Su Moli patiently coaxed her, "After all, she is Lian'er's elder sister. If they can get along well, it will be a great help to Lian'er, right?"

"This is the reason."

Old Mrs. Su did not continue to object, but felt sorry for her daughter and said, "It's hard for you."

……

Tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival on March 3rd, also known as the Daughter's Day. There is a custom of exorcising evil spirits and warding off evil spirits, so Shen Moyu saw the maids in her courtyard busy early in the morning.

"Miss, please go inside first. I just finished burning mugwort. Be careful not to choke you."

As Li Yue spoke, she waved the peach wood sword in the air back and forth, and finally hung it under the porch on the eaves.

Shen Moyu looked at them curiously, as if he had never seen them do this in his previous life. He leaned against the door and watched the fun with his hands crossed on his chest, looking quite relaxed and lazy, as if he had a good sleep.

Xiao Xuan was still sitting on the bed, looking dazed and sleepy. It seemed that she had not woken up yet. She was looking around, as if wondering where she was.

"Xuan'er, the sun is shining on your butt."

Shen Moyu turned his head leisurely, his eyes fell on the dazed Xiao Xuan's face, and he laughed wantonly.

Xiao Xuan came to her senses and asked, "Is tomorrow the Shangsi Festival?"

"Yes, let's go to Qingya Temple one day in advance and stay overnight, then get up tomorrow morning to worship Buddha and burn incense..."

"big sister."

As soon as Shen Moyu finished speaking, she heard Shen Lian'er's voice coming from the gate of the courtyard. She wanted to roll her eyes but held back.

"Why did Third Sister come here so early?"

Shen Lian'er was wearing a crescent-white gauze dress today, which made her look like an angel. There was a smile on her delicate and harmless face, like a little white flower.

"Big sister, my mother and the others set out directly from Wuyang Marquis's Mansion, so can I ride in the same carriage with you?"

Before Shen Moyu could answer, he saw Xiao Xuan, who was half asleep in the room, suddenly sit up, get off the bed and walk towards the door.

Qin Ye stopped him, "Hey, Your Highness, I am your servant's little ancestor. You haven't washed up yet, so you can't go out."

"Mo You, tell her that the carriage is too crowded for three people, let her solve it herself."

Xiao Xuan spoke so loudly because she was afraid that Shen Lian'er outside couldn't hear her.

Shen Lian'er bit her lower lip and looked at Shen Moyu with tears in her eyes, "Big sister..."

"Forget it. The carriage can accommodate one more person. You wait here."

Shen Moyu said lightly, turned around and went into the house. Facing Xiao Xuan's condemning eyes, she just smiled ingratiatingly and moved closer to her affectionately.

"Good Xuan'er, isn't there a saying that goes, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles'? If you keep her by your side, won't you be able to find out more quickly what she wants to do?"

What Shen Moyu said was not without reason. Ever since Shen Lian'er invited them to Qingya Temple, she has shown unprecedented enthusiasm and she wished she could follow Shen Moyu all day long.

Xiao Xuan was easily persuaded and stretched, "Qinye, help me wash up."

By the time Shen Moyu and Xiao Xuan finished packing and stood in front of the prime minister's residence, the sun was already high in the sky. Shen Lian'er followed behind them like a little wife, looking angry but not able to say anything.

In order to avoid being too high-profile, Xiao Xuan did not ride in the princess's carriage, but rode with them. The atmosphere with three people sitting in the carriage was indeed a bit weird.

Shen Lian'er tried several times to talk to Xiao Xuan, but the latter always responded with sarcasm, so Shen Lian'er had to give up.

After a short pause, he turned his gaze to Shen Moyu, "Big sister, do you have anything you want to ask for when you go to Qingya Temple today?"

"When you pray to gods and Buddhas, you naturally ask for whatever you want. Or, if I want someone to die, I will ask gods and Buddhas to bless them so that they will not have a burial place."

The corners of Shen Moyou's mouth curled up into a cold smile, causing Shen Lian'er to stiffen unconsciously. After a long while, she reluctantly said, "Big sister is really good at joking."

"Third sister, do you think this is a joke? I am answering your question very seriously."

Shen Lian'er's cheek twitched slightly, and she shrank back and remained silent.

Xiao Xuan silently gave Shen Moyu a thumbs up. As expected, every evildoer will be punished by his own evil. To deal with a little white flower like Shen Lian'er, abnormal means must be used.

Qingya Temple is located on the outskirts of the city. It takes about an hour to get there from the Prime Minister's Residence. Qingya Temple is built on the top of Qingya Mountain, so carriages cannot go up there, so one has to walk up the mountain.

It is impossible to describe this mountain road as winding and rugged. These noble ladies were so used to a life of luxury that it took them half an hour to reach the top of the mountain, which would have taken less than an incense stick of time.

Xiao Xuan was so exhausted that when she looked at Shen Lian'er, her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat her.

"There had better be something special about this Qingya Temple. Otherwise, I will torture you when I get back."

Shen Lian'er didn't know if it was because she arrived at Qingya Temple and felt that people from Wuyang Marquis' Mansion were also there and that there was someone backing her up, that she stopped being so timid and showed a weak smile to Xiao Xuan.

"The Fourth Princess can actually choose not to come."

"Shen Lian'er, this princess gave you face, right?"

Xiao Xuan was not a gentle person to begin with, and she exploded immediately after being provoked by Shen Lian'er.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess."

Before Xiao Xuan could make a move on Shen Lian'er, a salute sounded from behind her.

Xiao Xuan turned around and saw, wow!

"It's the wife of Marquis Wuyang."

Old Madam Su was embarrassed by her indifferent tone, but she still introduced them to them in a very elder manner, "Fourth Princess, this is my newly adopted daughter, Su Moli."

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess."

While Su Moli saluted Xiao Xuan, she glanced at Shen Lian'er who was standing beside Shen Moyou. Her eyes instantly turned red. She resisted the urge to cry and said to Shen Moyou, "Moyou, thank you for taking care of Lian'er during this period."

"My aunt is seriously ill. Lian'er is my third sister, so it's my duty to take care of her."

Shen Moyu exchanged pleasantries, and his tone did not show him taking Su Moli seriously.

Several people were gathered at the gate of Qingya Temple talking, attracting a lot of attention. Even the abbot of Qingya Temple came out hurriedly to greet them.

"Since you have arrived at the temple, why are you lingering at the gate instead of entering?"

The abbot of Qingya Temple was wearing a grey robe. The Buddhist beads on his chest were as big as a baby's fist. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a big belly. He must have collected a lot of incense money.

Old Madam Su seemed to be very familiar with this abbot. "Abbot Yuankong, I brought a few young people to Qingya Temple to burn incense today."

It seemed that because of Xiao Xuan's casual attitude just now, Mrs. Su did not specifically introduce Xiao Xuan's identity.

Abbot Yuankong closed his eyes solemnly and turned the Buddhist beads with his right hand.

"Amitabha, Madam Su is thoughtful. The meditation room has been cleaned up. You can take a few donors to have a look."
