"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with the issue between Prince Xuan and Shen Luoxi?"

When the emperor heard that all this was a conspiracy between Prince Xuan and Shen Luoxi, with his usual calm character, he should have immediately ordered punishment.

However, at this moment, he felt a kind of subtle joy in his heart, and even had an idea: In this case, why not just arrange the marriage between Prince Xuan and Shen Luoxi.

There is a solution after all, and it makes everyone happy.

After Prince Xuan really gets married, then regarding Shen Muxue...

This thought made him shudder inwardly, and he quickly cleared his throat to conceal his inner panic: "This matter cannot be made public. We still need to carefully consider how to punish them."

In fact, he himself was very conflicted and didn't feel any way of handling the situation was appropriate.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother glanced inadvertently towards the interior of the palace, and then gave the Emperor a subtle look, "Then how should Xue'er's problem be resolved?"

The emperor did not respond immediately and fell into silence.

Obviously, Shen Muxue could no longer be betrothed to King Xuan because she had already become his woman.

But at the same time, he couldn't immediately take her as a concubine, because in name only, she was still his nephew's fiancée.

Perhaps we could consider temporarily sending her to a nunnery in the name of praying for the Queen Mother?

Wait until Prince Xuan officially marries his new wife, and then find a way to bring her back?

"A few days ago she mentioned her desire to become a nun..."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately became anxious and angrily said, "You are deliberately planning to send Xue'er to a nunnery! Your Majesty, how could you do this? When you were unwilling to take in those cousins ​​from the past, I never forced you to make any decisions. I let them leave the palace and marry. But now Shen Muxue is your daughter, and you still want to send her to a nunnery? It's really too much!"

After hearing these words, the emperor began to regret his impulsive behavior, which was against human ethics. His tone was full of reluctance: "According to what my mother wants, should I immediately appoint her as my concubine?"

However, the engagement with Prince Xuan has not yet been cancelled. If the news of these two cousins ​​fighting for the same woman were to get out, it would inevitably cause a lot of controversy both inside and outside the court.

Faced with this question, even the Queen Mother was speechless.

Shen Muxue listened for a long time and finally couldn't help asking the system: "What is my favorability value now?"

[Your current favorability value is 6. It briefly reached 100 while you were lying in bed, but it dropped sharply the moment you got out of bed.]

When Shen Muxue heard this, she felt like a thousand horses were galloping through her heart. She thought to herself: This emperor is really troublesome. He was so gentle and affectionate to her in bed just now, but as soon as he got out of bed and put on his clothes, he was like a different person and didn't recognize me at all.

It seems that it is impossible to increase the favorability value by relying solely on the relationship in bed. It is better to do some good deeds honestly and help some people in need. Maybe you can increase the favorability value a little more.

So, Shen Muxue pushed open the door and walked out. An extremely sincere expression appeared on her face, and she directly admitted her mistake.

"Empress Dowager, this is all my fault. I fell into the trap because I was careless, and Your Majesty was only helping me. How can you let Your Majesty bear this responsibility that he shouldn't bear? I truly want to become a monk and practice Buddhism, and it's not just a momentary impulse. Please, Your Majesty, fulfill my wish."

Shen Muxue said, her tone full of earnestness and sincerity.

At this moment, the empress dowager's chest was filled with words that she wanted to say but couldn't. She just stared at the emperor in front of her who seemed to be out of the matter, and couldn't say a word.

In fact, the emperor never expected that Shen Muxue would take the initiative to ask to become a nun. A trace of pity flashed across his eyes when he looked at her, but in the end he still did not speak, just looked ahead coldly.

The Queen Mother didn't know what to do in this situation, and naturally didn't want Shen Muxue to become a nun.

Helpless, Shen Muxue could only change her words and promise: "Actually, the place I want to go is a nunnery, where I can pray for the court and you, the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother misses me one day in the future, you can send someone to summon me. Then I will come back to see you. Is this arrangement okay?"

There are many refugees in the capital who are in urgent need of food aid. If I can set up a porridge stall in front of the nunnery to provide porridge, perhaps this action will increase the emperor's favorability when he finds out.

Early the next morning, Shen Muxue came to Yangxin Temple and started her life.

Out of consideration for their old friendship, the emperor specifically instructed the abbess to take extra care of her.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Muxue suggested setting up a temporary soup kitchen outside the nunnery to help the poor, and soon immersed herself in the busy and heavy work.

On the other hand, Prince Xuan was not particularly clear about what had happened in the palace yesterday.

However, when he learned that Shen Muxue was distributing free porridge in Yangxin Temple in the north of the city, out of curiosity and concern he decided to visit her in person.

After getting off the carriage, Prince Xuan walked slowly through the crowded crowd.

From a distance, he saw Shen Muxue dressed in nun's clothes, busy serving porridge to the victims.

Bowls of steaming porridge were passed from her hands. Her movements were skillful and quick, as if she was used to this kind of job.

Seeing this scene, a faint sense of guilt surged in King Xuan's heart, making him feel mixed emotions.

He slowly walked towards Shen Muxue, but just as he was about to reach her, he was blocked by a woman.

"Your Majesty, are you here to visit your sister as well?"

The woman's voice was soft and concerned.

King Xuan stopped and looked a little embarrassed.

A blush appeared on her fair face.

He raised his head, glanced at the woman in front of him, Shen Luoxi, took a deep breath, and tried to hide his current mood.

Then he smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by here, and came to see you when I saw you."

At this time, Shen Muxue also noticed the two of them. Although she felt a little helpless, she still suppressed her dissatisfaction and exchanged brief greetings with the three of them.

Although they understood each other tacitly, they maintained appropriate politeness and courtesy on the surface.

Shen Luoxi looked at her sister, her tone tinged with gloating. "Why did you come to the nunnery? The Queen Mother loves you so much, how could she bear to let you suffer in a place like this?"

Faced with such words, Shen Muxue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

But she still kept smiling, even though there was coldness hidden under the smile.
