Before Xie Wanzhou could react, he heard Xie Lixuan continue to speak to himself, "Zhou'er is now crippled and has no one in the palace to rely on. I arranged this marriage for him because I was worried that he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the capital after I left."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanzhou's face darkened.
Judging from what he said, has the emperor really made up his mind to grant him a marriage?
As soon as Xie Lixuan finished speaking, the young eunuch immediately responded, "Your Majesty, parents who love their children will have far-reaching plans."
"Your Majesty is so considerate of His Highness Wanzhou, how could he blame you?"
After hearing this, Xie Wanzhou wished he could cut off the little eunuch's tongue.
You're such a dead mouth. If you can't speak, just shut up.
Xie Lixuan stayed for a short time and finally left.
After making sure they were far away, Luo Ziyuan walked out of the secret room.
Surprised, he asked, "Xie Wanzhou, is your father going to grant you a marriage?"
Xie Wanzhou shook his head hesitantly, "I don't know, but from what I hear, it seems so."
Luo Ziyuan was even more puzzled and asked in confusion: "What does your father mean? Why would he suddenly grant you a marriage?"
"I don't know." Xie Wanzhou shook his head. "I'll never know what's going on in his mind."
"Indeed, I don't understand." Luo Ziyuan said in a low voice.
Afterwards, Luo Ziyuan thought about the vegetarian banquet three days later.
Then he asked, "By the way, what do you think the young widow will do at the vegetarian banquet three days from now? Will she exchange her for the real Madam Shen?"
Xie Wanzhou nodded, “Based on my understanding of her, she will definitely exchange the real Madam Shen for her at the palace banquet.”
"You speak as if you know her very well."
Luo Ziyuan curled his lips in disgust, but ultimately said nothing.
Three days later, the vegetarian banquet arrived as scheduled.
Chen Ningyuan packed everything early in the morning and got on the carriage to the palace.
At the same time, in Ningle Tower, Cui Jin also changed into casual clothes and was taken to the palace by Yi Ge, who was arranged in advance by Chen Ningyuan.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningyuan actually had Cui Jin brought to Xie Wanzhou's bedroom.
Looking at Cui Jin sitting upright in the chair and drinking tea slowly, Xie Wanzhou didn't know what expression to show for a moment.
Cui Jin looked up at Xie Wanzhou, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and greeted him politely, "Your Highness Wanzhou, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome, Madam Shen." Xie Wanzhou replied stiffly.
After saying hello, Cui Jin continued to drink tea.
Before leaving, Yi Ge said that it was very safe here.
Luo Ziyuan pushed the wheelchair and took Xie Wanzhou out. He asked in a low voice, "The young widow trusts you so much that she actually placed her own mother in your bedroom."
"Because she knows that my bedroom is the safest place in this palace."
After all, not many people would set foot here on weekdays.
Despite this, Xie Wanzhou still said cautiously: “You will keep an eye on this place later, and remember to protect Madam Shen’s safety.”
Luo Ziyuan nodded, "Don't worry, I'm here and won't let anyone set foot here."
Then, Xie Wanzhou controlled the wheelchair and walked outside.
Luo Ziyuan was curious and quickly stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go to the vegetarian banquet and take a look." Xie Wanzhou said.
"But I heard that Xie Yumin will also show up. Are you sure you want to go?"
Xie Wanzhou's eyes were cold. "Just because he's here, I have to go even more."
Luo Ziyuan frowned and said, "Then be careful. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst. That guy has a vicious mind. Don't fall into his trap."
"kindness."
Xie Wanzhou nodded and walked straight towards the palace where the vegetarian banquet was held.
At this moment, at the vegetarian banquet.
Shen Ningyuan has already met the fake Cui Jin.
Fake Cui Jin pretended to be affectionate and approached, holding Shen Ningyuan's hand, "Yuan'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much more haggard."
"I'm always thinking about my mother, so I can't sleep at night. Of course, I'm getting more and more haggard." Shen Ningyuan said lightly.
Listening to her words, the fake Cui Jin always felt that there was something else behind her words.
But for a moment, he couldn’t guess what Shen Ningyuan was thinking, and he felt increasingly uneasy.
She didn't want to come to today's vegetarian banquet.
But the Queen Mother's letter had already been delivered to the Shen family.
The post also specifically stated that she must attend the vegetarian banquet.
In desperation, she had no choice but to enter the palace.
Fortunately, Cui Jin was busy with the shop and didn't socialize much with the women of officials, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Yuan'er, mother is fine. You don't have to worry about her all the time."
The fake Cui Jin patted Shen Ningyuan's hand, acting like a loving mother.
Just as she was about to continue speaking, a palace maid suddenly walked up to the two of them.
He lowered his head and said, “Madam Shen, Madam Ji, the Empress Dowager asked you to see her before the vegetarian banquet begins.”
Fake Cui Jin was slightly taken aback. "The vegetarian banquet is about to begin. What does the Empress Dowager want us to do?"
The young palace maid shook her head, "I don't know either, but this is indeed what the Empress Dowager intended."
Seeing this, the fake Cui Jin was still hesitating whether to follow Shen Ningyuan.
But then she thought, Shen Ningyuan would go with her, so there didn't seem to be anything to worry about.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, then you lead the way."
“Yes, Madam Shen.”
After saying this, the little palace maid walked out.
"Yuan'er, let's go."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan glanced at the fake Cui Jin and walked out with her.
Looking at the back of the little palace maid, Shen Ningyuan curled up the corners of his mouth in a sneer.
Yi Ge's disguise is becoming more and more realistic.
When she appeared just now, even she almost didn't recognize her.
