Shen Mei recalled what Mu Qingfeng said in her mind, which was a little inexplicable, she sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to break free from his shackles.

"Hey, what crazy are you smoking today, let me go." Although she felt very uncomfortable after hearing his words just now, she obviously just went out to find Master Gao, and his unprovoked complaint puzzled her.

"I won't let go, why did you go to the prince's firecracker workshop." Mu Qingfeng grabbed her shoulders and widened the distance between the two of them a little. It's a questioning look.

When Shen Mei heard it, it turned out to be because of this. He shook his head helplessly, his mouth deflated, and then kicked his eyes at him.

"How did you know I went to the Firecracker?"

"Don't throw me questions." The man's voice was deep, the expression on his face was cold, which made people feel cold, he still had no way to say cruel words to her after all, what he wanted was her willingness from beginning to end.

"I..." Shen Mei knew that he was really angry, but his concern would make Shen Mei feel oppressed.

"The Empress asked me to plan the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, didn't I want you to be distracted, you now have to deal with the affairs of the court with the prince every day, so I didn't tell you." As he spoke, he felt that he had some grievances, and he unconsciously lowered his head and looked angry.

"You, you, why don't you tell me about such a big thing." After listening to Shen Mei's explanation, Mu Qingfeng felt that he had really thought too much, pulled Shen Mei over, rubbed her head dotingly, looking at her aggrieved little appearance, the softness in her heart couldn't help but be a little **, but she liked it very much.

"I misunderstood you this time, but no matter what happens in the future, don't face it alone, promise me, okay." Mu Qingfeng hugged Shen Mei and sat on the chair, and the woman in front of her nodded quietly, which felt that Mu Qingfeng was naturally very useful.

Just unexpected. After a while, I heard Shen Mei say softly, "Qingfeng, I think I've let it go." “

"Drop something."

"Let go of wishful thinking about the crown prince."

"You just can't let it go, I'll cut it off for you with a knife." Mu Qingfeng heard her emotional expression, and there was no discomfort, because he was willing to tolerate the fact that she once liked the prince, but now he can be sure that she is by his side, and she is changing for him little by little.

Suddenly, remembering the peace charm she begged for, Mu Qingfeng took out a small square red brocade bag in his sleeve pocket that he had carefully placed, held Shen Meiqianqian's jade finger with his backhand, and put the brocade bag into the palm of her hand.

"What is this?" Shen Mei looked down at the bag in her hand.

"Peace charms, wear them close to your body." Mu Qingfeng instructed softly.

"You asked for this peace charm for me." There was a slight coquettishness in his voice, but his heart was sweet.

Mu Qingfeng smiled but did not speak.

"My queen mother asked you to host the dinner, did you embarrass you?" Thinking of what his mother had done to Shen Mei, he couldn't help but be a little worried, although he understood his mother's intention to do this, but he still wanted to protect her.

"Don't worry, I'm in control." Shen Mei naturally knew his concerns, the queen clearly wanted her to retreat, but she didn't let her get her wish.

"Hmm." Mu Qingfeng responded absentmindedly.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mei was about to go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss with the Ministry of Rites Shangshu about the matters that needed to be prepared for the dinner and the matters to be paid attention to. What I didn't expect was that as soon as I went out, I ran into Mu Lingxuan and his personal guards.

"What a coincidence, Rose. Where are you going? "Mu Lingxuan.

Originally, Shen Mei saw the two of them from afar, and was about to turn around to avoid them, remembering Mu Qingfeng's jealousy last night, she always felt that the best way was to avoid too much contact with Mu Lingxuan. Unexpectedly, Mu Lingxuan had already seen her and stopped her.

"Shen Mei, see His Royal Highness the Prince." Seeing someone walk in, Shen Mei blessed her body and respectfully saluted.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you and I have a lot of differences." Mu Lingxuan was originally a sharp-minded person, and Shen Mei's respect and deliberate detachment certainly did not escape his eyes.

"Shen Mei knows that her identity is humble, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for her love." Shen Mei found that even in the face of Mu Lingxuan now, he was no longer as cautious as before for fear that he would be disgusted by him, and after thinking about it, maybe he didn't see himself in his eyes from beginning to end, and his single-mindedness probably caused him a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Yun smiled lightly.

"Hmph." Mu Lingxuan felt that this woman had played a trick on herself, she had never done this to herself before, and now she relied on Mu Qingfeng to support her, so she even spoke to herself in a tone that hardened a little, and thinking of the importance that her father now attaches to Mu Qingfeng, she was secretly angry.

Mu Lingxuan's face turned cold, and the already embarrassing atmosphere suddenly condensed to freezing point. He walked straight past her with the guards.

It's like a pair of resentful couples in idol dramas who will never miss each other from now on, of course, this is only for onlookers.

Shen Mei herself also understands that it's time to end this ridiculous secret love, it should be Ming Love, her wishful thinking, wishful thinking, Mu Lingxuan, he is not Chu Ze, and now he understands where his heart should be placed.

The quiet corridor, two people who are at odds with each other, the air is condensed with resolute unrepentance, the cold winter, the cold wind blowing across his cheeks, did not shake the decision in his or her heart.

However, Shen Mei can be sure that she will never regret it, she has loved, paid, and persistent, but she has never regretted it. Slowly raised her eyes to look at the sky, the sky was gray and cold this season, but at this time, it was a spiritual fit for her, and it felt good to be quiet. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, which was her relief.

After a while, I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and the impressive door plaque came into view. A handsome man who looked young and was dressed in a navy blue official robe stepped forward to pick him up. Looks like a gentle and elegant person.

"Miss Shen, please come down." After that, he was one step ahead of Shen Mei and led the way sideways.

Ministry of Rites, Shen Mei is here for the first time. I always feel that it is not the same as I imagined, and the Ministry of Rites should be very busy, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly deserted. If it weren't for the chance to see a few officials coming in and out, she really thought that there was no one in this place.

"Miss Shen, this is Shangshu's council room, Lord Shangshu has been waiting for a long time, Miss Shen, please." The man made a gesture of please, then nudged open the door.

As soon as Shen Mei stepped into the room, she heard a deafening snoring sound, wondering where this snoring came from. Turning to the room, a man dressed in navy blue with a crane pattern embroidered on his chest leaned back on the Taishi chair and fell asleep.
