"Pei'er, you've grown up." Jiang Ruan said with a smile.

"Mother, I'm still in my old age in my previous life and present life." Xuan Pei blinked: "Mother must not look at me with the eyes of children. Because I'm not a child." He glanced at Jiang Ruan and suddenly laughed: "But although the mother has lived so long, she still looks as beautiful as her previous life. I just don't know if Prince Xiao knew that his wife was so old than him, would she be crazy?"

Jiang Ruan was stunned, angry and funny, and pointed Xuan Pei's forehead and cursed, "I'll talk nonsense." However, she thought seriously in her heart. Xiao Shao naturally didn't know that she had lived for two lives, and her past and present life combined, she was much older than Xiao Shao. This woman was much older than a man, which was really unreasonable. Even if she couldn't see anything else on her appearance, she felt bad.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan really remembered this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Xuan Pei's eyes and took Jiang Ruan's hand and said, "I didn't know his relationship with you at first. King Jinying mentioned it suddenly. I thought that marrying him to him was not a good thing. But later I thought that he seemed to be the only one who can compete with Xuan Li in this world. Marrying to the Jinying Mansion is better than being related to Xuan Li, and King Jinying is cheaper." Xuan Pei snorted coldly, and it felt a bit uncomfortable. Before we recognized each other in this life, Jiang Ruan taught him to marry Xiao Shao. It was originally because of the widespread influence of the Jinying Mansion. No matter how the dynasty changes in the future, Xiao Shao's status would be unshakable. But if he had known earlier that Jiang Ruan was also reborn in this world, he would never let Xiao Shao marry so satisfactorily.

Jiang Ruan laughed and touched his head: "At a young age, don't pretend to be mature all day long." But he completely forgot that when he was reborn, it was exactly the same as Xuan Pei.

Xuan Pei held her hand: "No matter what, mother, we are always lucky to see each other again. I was in the palace and I always felt something was wrong during this period. Xuan Li has not done anything else. There is also something about causing poison. Someone is staring at you in the dark, so mother should be more careful."

"You don't have to worry about me." Jiang Ruan shook his head: "I don't often stay in the palace. The Jinying Palace is very cautious and it is always not easy for people to succeed. But you, there are many crises in the deep palace, and I know everything about you and the dangers. In addition, you have to be valued by the emperor now. I don't know how many people stare at you secretly, just wait to seize your handle and say it carefully. Pei'er, don't compete with them head-on. If you have any problems, please come to the palace immediately. I'll ask Xiao Shao to find a few more people to protect you."

Feeling the long-lost care from his mother, it seemed like a lifetime of separation. In this life, Xuan Pei saw all the cold eyes in the palace and tasted all the desolate and sadness. He never believed others easily, nor would he accept the kindness of others. Only Jiang Ruan could open the soft part of his heart. At this moment, she was talking to him with such gentle and concern, and Xuan Pei felt sad and almost burst into tears.

However, after all, he was not the child who cried whenever he wanted to cry and laughed whenever he wanted to laugh. He blinked and held back the tears in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Mother's mother doesn't have to worry too much. The people around me are not vegetarians. Xiao Shao's people are too eye-catching, so it is inevitable that people will be suspicious when they are by my side. Although there are many people in this palace who want to deal with me, if you have the ability, just come and see who is unlucky in the end. Besides, the father is trusting me now. If anyone wants to do anything, the father will not give up."

When Jiang Ruan heard him talk about the emperor, she could not see any special emotions in her tone, and could not guess the true thoughts in Xuan Pei's heart for a moment, so she looked at him and said, "Pei'er, now that Your Majesty trusts you, and in the eyes of others, she has ulterior motives. But you also know that this is not groundless. What do you think? I want to hear your opinion?" She asked a little hesitantly. Every prince's final goal was to sit on that chair. Of course, she didn't want Xuan Pei to fight for that position and lose the happiness she should have. But if Xuan Pei, who had lived for a lifetime, had this ambition, she would support him without hesitation. There was nothing between the mother and son, no matter what Xuan Pei wanted to do, she always stood on Xuan Pei's side.

"Mother's mother is worried," Xuan Pei smiled and shook his head: "Pleasing the father and winning his trust is just to protect himself. With the father's bias, at least no one dares to touch me easily. As for the father's mind, I don't want to speculate. I can't explain clearly how it will develop in the future. The first thing I have to do now is to avenge my mother and myself. Although the country's surname is Xuan, it's not his turn to control it."

There was a faint resentment in his words. Jiang Ruan originally wanted to comfort him, but when she thought about it, she was not the same. She came with a lot of resentment just to avenge the blood. The grievances in her previous life were too tragic, and she would never forget them in this life. She smiled and said, "I will always protect you."

The two of them talked for a while, and Jiang Ruan could not stay in Nanyuan for a long time, so they instructed Xuan Pei to be careful next and left. After Jiang Ruan left, Mingyue walked in, stood beside Xuan Pei, and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Why don't your highness tell the princess the truth?"

Whether Xuan Pei was intentional or unintentional to the world, at least in Mingyue's opinion, was not completely unintentional. Every step he did was planning to seize this country. It included how he calmly attracted the emperor's concern. It also began to gradually win over a group of officials in the court. Although everything was done seamlessly, in time, it would definitely add a great help to the fight for the throne.

Xuan Pei would never answer such questions on weekdays. He was particularly indifferent to his bones. However, today he didn't know if it was because of Jiang Ruan that softened his attitude, and it actually showed a bit of gentleness and fatigue. He said: "She hopes that I will be a innocent and kind prince, so why should I tear this illusion and show her the ugly truth? In her eyes, I am just a child. In the end, I will take over this country, just to protect the people I want to protect."

If you want to protect Jiang Ruan and keep her from harm, you must first stand in a supreme position and step on all those who despise them. Only absolute power is absolute security. For Jiang Ruan, even if the road to the emperor is full of killing and blood, what's wrong?

Mingyue stopped talking. She knew that if she asked her, Xuan Pei would not say much to her, but just silently retreated aside.

But Jiang Ruan left Nanyuan. After walking a few steps, he heard a strange voice coming from behind: "Princess Hong'an."

She turned around and saw a few eunuchs and palace maids walking over around a man in gray. The man was wearing a long gray robe, and his hat almost covered his upper half of his face. He could only see a delicate chin. His voice was a bit difficult to tell. At first glance, he gave people a beautiful and weird feeling.
