The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke had a strange dream.

In her dream, she saw a chubby white baby playing in a red plastic basin.

The plastic basin was filled with clear water, and a pattern of a large carp was printed on the bottom of the basin.

The fat baby seemed not to see Xu Keke. He kept splashing in the water and having a lot of fun.

The fat baby suddenly noticed the pattern printed on the bottom of the basin.

I looked at it curiously for a while.

He stretched out his arms like lotus roots, reached into the water, and picked up a big red carp.

Xu Keke watched from the side, amazed that the pattern could actually come true.

It's really a fairy tale.

She couldn't help but giggle.

however.

The fat baby seemed not to hear her laughter at all and was still immersed in his own world.

I saw the fat baby holding the big carp, with a bright smile on his face and babbling something.

Sudden.

The big carp suddenly swung its tail in the fat baby's arms, splashing water.

The fat baby was not annoyed, but laughed even more happily.

Xu Ke moved closer curiously, wanting to hear what the fat baby was saying.

At this moment, the scene suddenly began to blur, and the fat doll and the plastic basin gradually became unreal.

Xu Ke tried desperately to grab something, but found himself powerless.

Just when she was filled with anxiety, she suddenly opened her eyes.

I found myself lying on the bed, and it turned out to be just a dream.

Xu Keke sat up and recalled the strange dream.

My heart is full of doubts.

Why did I have such a strange dream?

Who is that fat baby?

Why does it appear in my dream?

And what does that big carp represent?

She thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. You can continue sleeping.

This time I slept exceptionally soundly and slept until noon.

After waking up, Xu Ke feels radiant and refreshed, all the previous lethargy gone.

She looked at herself in the mirror and clicked her tongue.

"Sleep is indeed the best beauty product for women. I must get enough sleep in the future."

After leaving the dormitory, Dingdang and Anxiang came to serve me.

Xu Keke was in a very good mood and was in high spirits as she watched the budgie jumping around in the birdcage.

Walk over to the birdcage and meet the parrot's eyes.

"Stupid princess."

The parrot spoke first.

"We may be familiar with each other, but if you speak nonsense, I will regard it as slander."

Xu Ke doesn't indulge it either.

Dingdang and Anxiang looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

Is the princess going to quarrel with a bird?

The parrot tilted its head and jumped a few times on the pole.

"Beautiful, Princess. Beautiful."

Xu Keke then nodded with satisfaction and threw a few grains of millet to it.

"You are a sensible little fellow."

After feeding the parrot, Xu Ke was allowed to sit back on the couch.

"Miss, the prince just left. Aren't you sad?"

Dingdang came over and asked.

Anxiang brought Xu Keke a cup of scented tea.

Xu Keke took it, took a sip, and said with a smile.

"Why should you be sad? The prince is going to lead the troops to fight, serving the country and the people, leading by example, not to look for a mistress."

Anxiang continued to ask.

"Miss, aren't you worried about the prince's safety?"

Xu Keke sighed.

"It's not that I'm not worried, it's just that the mountains are high and the waters are long, and there's no point in worrying anymore. Anyway, I'm waiting for the prince to return in the capital.

Rather than waiting with a sad face, it is better to wait happily, don’t you think? "

Dingdang and Anxiang nodded repeatedly.

"Miss is right."

Xu Keke put down his teacup and looked into the distance.

"I believe that the prince will return victorious. We must keep the palace in good order so that when the prince returns and sees that everything is fine, he can rest assured."

Dingdang replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, young lady. The servants in the mansion are all dedicated and nothing will go wrong."

Anxiang also agreed.

"Yes, Miss, let's just wait for the prince's good news."

Xu Keke accidentally glanced at the white jade Guanyin statue and thought of Xu Yuanyuan saying that she was pregnant.

Then he asked about Anxiang.

"Anxiang, did you get any useful information from the Shen residence? Is Xu Yuanyuan really pregnant?"

Anxiang nodded and told everything she had learned at the Shen Mansion.

"Miss, Xuyuanyuan is indeed not an easy person to deal with.

She didn't know how she caused the old lady of the Shen family to have a stroke.

Mrs. Shen was busy taking care of the old lady all day and had no time to take care of her.

Xu Yuanyuan took advantage of the fact that he had no offspring to bully others in the Shen family.

That day we met Xu Yuanyuan on the street. She was going to see a barefoot doctor.

I want to buy some medicine to make women infertile, and I plan to buy some for Shen Qingfeng's maid to drink."

After listening to this, Xu Keke gained a deeper understanding of Xu Yuanyuan's viciousness.

At the same time, he was also surprised by Anxiang's ability to inquire.

"Anxiang, weren't you observing secretly? How could you understand it so clearly?"

Anxiang grabbed the corner of her clothes embarrassedly.

"Well, Xu Yuanyuan bribed a maid in the mansion to do something for her. I beat her up, and she told me everything."

Xu Keke couldn't help laughing.

Secretly withdrawing force will not solve the problem.

"You are quite clever, girl. But Xu Yuanyuan is so vicious. I wonder if Shen Qingfeng knows what she has done."

Anxiang curled her lips.

"Shen Qingfeng's mind wasn't in the mansion either. Old Madam Shen was paralyzed in bed, but he didn't even go to see her.

Instead, he often hangs out with the sons of officials, and seems to have recently become close to a playboy from the Duke of Wei's mansion."

The Duke of Wei?

Xu Ke frowned. She was no longer a newbie who knew nothing about the aristocratic circles in Beijing.

The Queen Mother in the palace was from the Duke of Wei’s mansion and was the second daughter of the Duke of Wei.

Shen Qingfeng approaches the dandy young man of Duke Wei's Mansion. Could it be that he wants to continue his romance with the Queen Mother in the palace as in the original owner's memory?

In the original owner's memory, Shen Qingfeng hooked up with the Queen Mother.

Only then could he rise rapidly to prominence in just a few years and eventually become the prime minister of the dynasty.

The premise is that there is no regent.

Thinking of this, Xu Keke realized the importance of Regent Chu Musheng.

It is conceivable that without a regent in the court, the empress dowager would be able to control the government by virtue of her son's status.

Now that the young empress dowager has great power, how difficult would it be for her to find a lover?

Shen Qingfeng is not a good person, but he does have a good appearance.

The two of them colluded with each other and finally gave birth to a child without telling anyone.

Xu Ke, who had sorted out the original owner's memories again, could no longer sit still.

I believe that Chu Musheng had already arranged everything in the court before going on the expedition, so there will be no chaos for the time being.

But if something unexpected happens to the prince during this expedition and he dies on the battlefield...

Bah, bah, bah, can’t think like that.

Xu Keke shook his head repeatedly, throwing the ominous thought out of his mind.

By the way, there is also the Grand Empress Dowager in the palace who can suppress the Empress Dowager.

The prince has gone to the northern border, and Xu Ke can't help.

But you have to be careful about the protection in the palace.

"You two go serve the meal. I'm going to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager this afternoon.

The prince has just left the capital, and I'm sure the Empress Dowager will be worried. I'll go and give her some counsel."

"Yes."

Anxiang went to make arrangements and lunch was quickly prepared. Xu Ke ate a few bites quickly and prepared to go into the palace.
