I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

[This chapter is complete, 2500 words added at the end! My dear friends, I wish you a happy reading! ]

It was Fu Yuzheng's first time to come to the greenhouse in the Imperial Garden. She had never come here during the first few times she came to the palace. But because she was curious about what kind of exquisite products were raised in the greenhouse, she pulled her sister to look at each flower bed one by one.

Soon, we arrived at the peony garden.

After taking a look, Fu Yuzheng turned her head and smiled at Mu Shaoheng, "Your Highness, the variety and quantity of peonies here are not as many as those in your mansion."

She remembered that when her brother was the prince of the Southwest Mu Mansion, she and her sister went to visit the Mu Mansion in Xiaonong Hutong to send books to her brother.

That day, Mu Shaoheng warmly invited the two sisters to the greenhouse.

Fu Yushu also remembered this, and immediately smiled and said, "The peony flowers in the prince's mansion are indeed more diverse and complete. I remember that the prince gave my sister a few Wei Zi peonies last time, and gave me some Yao Huang peonies."

Mu Shaoheng remembered and looked at Fu Yushu with a smile: "Are you still keeping those Yaohuang peonies I gave you?"

Fu Yushu smiled gently and said, "I planted them in the yard, and they are all alive and well."

Speaking of this, Fu Yuzheng pouted and couldn't help but glance at Gao Ni.

High Nickel: ???

what's the situation?

Seeing his confused look, Fu Yuzheng stepped on his instep and muttered, "You broke a few of the Wei Zi peonies that the prince gave me, and you still haven't compensated me!"

After that, he turned his palm upward and asked Gao Ni for the money: "Pay me back now!"

Gao Ni remembered that at that time, because she was close to Mu Linghao, Chen Daiyu and anonymous letters complained that Fu Yuzheng was cheating on him, so he went to catch them.

When forcing the horse that Fu Yuzheng was riding to stop, one of them accidentally knocked over her Wei Zi Mudan.

Thinking of those jealous past events, Gao Ni couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"How dare you laugh?" Fu Yuzheng glared at the stinky man.

"Okay, I'll compensate you in a few days, okay?" Gao Ni hugged her petite body from behind, including her arms, kissed her ears, and said with a smile.

Fu Yuzheng: ...

This stinky man is being affectionate again regardless of the occasion!

Unfortunately, no matter how she struggled, Gao Ni held her tightly, kissing her ears and cheeks wantonly. Because there were no outsiders here.

Well, Gao Ni has completely regarded Mu Shaoheng as... his brother-in-law, so naturally he is not an outsider.

Speaking of the word "brother-in-law", Gao Ni's brain started working again. He had to let Mu Shaoheng marry Fu Yusu home as soon as possible, so that he could sleep with his own wife as soon as possible!

While Gao Ni was thinking this, Fu Yushu and Mu Shaoheng had already bent down to pick peonies in the flower garden.

Fu Yushu took a fancy to a Zhaofen peony, picked it up and played with it in his hand.

At this moment, a palace maid came in. She caught a glimpse of the Zhaofen Peony in Fu Yushu's hand and her expression changed immediately. She shouted:

"How dare you pick our queen's flowers!"

Fu Yushu was so frightened that his hand trembled and the peony flower fell to the ground... and broke.

Fu Yushu bent down to pick up the broken peony flower, then turned around to look at the palace maid. She saw that the palace maid had a ferocious look on her face, her eyebrows raised, and her eyes as big as copper bells.

At first glance, he is the kind of servant who relies on his master's power and often scolds others.

Fu Yushuo patiently asked politely, "Who is your mistress?" The servant was so arrogant, could it be that her master was Concubine Xiang, who was the most favored by the emperor?

But the palace maid said arrogantly: "My wife is Chen Liangdi who is beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Fu Yushu: ???

Just a concubine?

How dare this palace maid be so arrogant and domineering?

Fu Yuzheng took over the conversation and asked, "Chen Liangdi? But she is the concubine daughter that the Chen family of the Prime Minister sent into the palace after the former Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong was deposed?"

When the maid heard this, she started to scold him arrogantly: "How dare you casually belittle my queen as a concubine? My queen is now the concubine of Yudie!"

Seeing that this palace maid looked like she had never seen the world, Fu Yuzheng immediately guessed that she should be the personal maid that Chen Liangdi brought into the palace from the Prime Minister Chen's family.

The concubine's daughter was bullied in the prime minister's family before, but once she entered the palace and became a concubine, she felt that she was the best among the people, and even her personal maidservant followed her and became arrogant and domineering.

Thinking of this, Fu Yuzheng was completely speechless about the daughters of Prime Minister Chen's family.

Why are they all so stupid and not smart, and also so bold and like to get into trouble?

While Fu Yuzheng was thinking, the maid had already twisted her waist and rushed to Fu Yushu, palm facing up and asked:

"These Zhaofen peonies were specially planted here by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for Chen Liangdi. You picked one without permission, so you have to pay compensation!"

Fu Yushu asked, "How much silver?"

The maid took a look at Fu Yushu's clothes and found them very noble. She immediately said, "Not expensive, five thousand taels each!"

Five thousand taels for one flower?

Is this blackmail?!

Mu Shaoheng sneered and immediately ordered the servant: "Go, invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, and I will bargain with him."

After these words were spoken, the palace maid felt a vague sense of fear.

She had only been in the palace for a short time and did not recognize many of the noble ladies and princes.

The noble ladies who had been blackmailed by her in the past were not powerful figures like Mu Shaoheng. They were all daughters of court officials. They were all suppressed by the title of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and almost all of them paid the money for compensation.

Occasionally meeting a few people who dare to bargain is already a great achievement.

Unlike Mu Shaoheng today, who invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as he opened his mouth, which really scared the palace maid.

~

In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting and chatting with several high-ranking officials of the court. The Crown Princess Su Miaoyan (formerly Su Liangdi) came with the palace maids to buy wine, fruits and snacks.

As soon as she entered the pavilion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye and immediately turned to smile at her: "Why are you here?"

As he spoke, he held her little hand.

Crown Princess Su Miaoyan smiled and joked, "Your Highness, you don't care about people. I can't bear to see these adults accompany you in the cold in the winter. So I specially sent them a few pots of hot wine to warm them up."

Not only that, they even brought several thick cloaks, one for each person.

This Crown Princess knows how to behave, and she immediately won the hearts of several high-ranking officials in the court. They all admired in their hearts that this new Crown Princess is much better than the former Crown Princess who came from the Prime Minister's family...!

No wonder, when she was still Su Liangdi, she was favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

At this moment, a young eunuch from the flower room came hurriedly, and the Crown Princess Su Miaoyan walked out of the pavilion and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch quickly told the story of the flower room:

"...Chen Liang Di's personal maid tried to blackmail the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, which angered the King of Zhenbian. He asked me to come and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over... to negotiate a price."

Upon hearing this, Crown Princess Su Miaoyan raised her eyebrows. She had long heard about how Chen Liangdi, that ignorant person, allowed her personal maid to wantonly blackmail the daughters of court officials.

However, Chen Liangdi was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and it would be difficult for her, as the crown princess, to deal with her unless she caused any serious trouble.

Today, he actually blackmailed Fu Yushu and even angered the King of Zhenbian.

Su Miaoyan exclaimed inwardly that it was wonderful!

He immediately entered the pavilion and told the Crown Prince about the matter in a few words. The Crown Prince took it very seriously and immediately said goodbye to several high-ranking officials and hurried to the flower room.

Su Miaoyan also went along.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. The Crown Princess has arrived." The young eunuch guarding the flower room shouted loudly.

All the noble ladies in the flower room came to pay their respects. Fu Yuzheng and Fu Yushuo in the peony flower room also knelt down to pay their respects the moment they saw the prince and his wife.

"No need to be so polite. We are all family, why are you still being polite to us?" Crown Princess Su Miaoyan took two quick steps and helped Fu Yuzheng and Fu Yusu up, her mouth full of warmth.

Gao Ni and Mu Shaoheng were displeased and did not salute, but only nodded. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only did not dare to care, but also felt nervous because his concubine had annoyed them.

"Where is the blackmailed palace maid?" After arriving at the Peony Flower Room, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately asked the flower room manager with a cold face.

The arrogant palace maidservant suddenly turned pale with fear and her legs trembled.

The manager of the flower room kicked her in the knee, and she fell to her knees with a "thump". The maid kowtowed and begged for mercy in fear. Just when she wanted to argue...

The Crown Prince didn't even give her a chance to speak, and directly ordered the steward: "Drag this bitch away and beat her to death!"

When the palace maid heard this, she was so frightened that she fainted.

Then he was dragged outside the flower room by several young eunuchs, and was beaten with a few boards again. Finally, amidst the screams of ghosts and wolves, he was killed by dozens of boards.

After the steward's report, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke again coldly: "Chen Liang Di failed to control the slave, and even frightened the young lady of the Fu family. It's simply abominable! Go, ask Chen Liang Di to pack 5,000 taels of silver as compensation for the mental damages to the young lady of the Fu family!"

Fu Yuzheng: ???

My sister didn't have to spend any money on compensation, but instead made five thousand taels?

Tsk tsk tsk, this Crown Prince is also a wonderful person, very good at... resolving disputes and calming anger!

Sure enough, when Mu Shaoheng saw how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handled the matter, his expression immediately returned to normal and he was no longer stern.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw it, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The Crown Princess Su Miaoyan was even better at dealing with people. She immediately urged the eunuch to go to Chen Liangdi to get the silver. After the silver arrived, Su Miaoyan handed it to Fu Yusu personally.

Fu Yushu was embarrassed to answer.

Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "This is the compensation that Sister Fu deserves. Don't be embarrassed. Take it quickly. This is only a part of it. I will compensate you with some good things later."

Fu Yuzheng glanced at the new Crown Princess. No wonder she was favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She was indeed sweet-talker and capable, much better than the previous Chen Daiqiong.

Fu Yushu's cheeks were flushed and she was too embarrassed to answer.

However, Mu Shaoheng took it for her and asked the servant beside him to help hold it.

After paying five thousand taels as compensation, Crown Princess Su Miaoyan glanced at the Zhaofen peonies that Chen Liangdi had carefully nurtured, then pulled Fu Yushu back to the edge of the flowerbed and said with a sweet smile:

"Sister Fu, I'm also giving you these Zhao pink peonies. If you like them, feel free to pick some and put them in your hair. They'll look beautiful."

After chatting for a few more words, Su Miaoyan took the Crown Prince's arm, and the couple left with a smile.

At this time, Fu Yuzheng picked ten Zhaofen peonies in full bloom from the flowerbed, pointed at her hair, and coquettishly asked Gao Ni to put them on her.

Gao Ni held Fu Yuzheng's little head and deliberately played tricks on her, sticking it all over the place. Ten Zhao pink peonies were all over her head, creating a messy and disorderly look!

"Oh my, it's so ugly!"

Fu Yuzheng took out a small round mirror and looked at herself, then pouting and pounding Gao Ni's chest.

Gao Ni smiled and plucked five more flowers. You know what, the remaining five flowers formed an arch shape, which was quite beautiful and exquisite!

"That's good enough!" Fu Yuzheng was satisfied. She stood on tiptoe and gave Gao Ni a kiss on the side of his face as a reward.

Fu Yushu looked at the sweet interaction between her sister and Gao Ni, and turned her head away with a slightly blushing face.

At this time, Mu Shaoheng also picked a few Zhaofen peonies that were in full bloom from the flowerbed, spread out his palm, held them in front of Fu Yushu, and said with a smile:

"Want to put on a bun too? I'll help you."

Before Fu Yushu could respond, he took a step forward to her, gently held the back of her head to prevent her from moving, and then inserted three flowers in a row into her dark hair.

Then, she pinned another one behind her other ear.

"Guess what I look like? Am I ugly?"

Fu Yushu lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on Mu Shaoheng's waist and abdomen. He wore a white jade belt with exquisite patterns around his waist, and on the jade belt hung a bright and shiny mutton-fat jade pendant and a green silk ribbon.

As always, beautifully organized.

So, Fu Yushu replied softly: "Your Majesty has excellent taste, it can't be ugly. It should... be very beautiful."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng smiled.

So, he lowered his head close to her ear and whispered with a smile: "It is indeed beautiful. But the flowers are more beautiful than the people, they... are not as beautiful as you."

Fu Yushu: ...

I could instantly hear a sense of ambiguity.

This wasn't the first time Mu Shaoheng had praised her beauty, but the previous times he had always mentioned "you three siblings". This time was different, he only praised her.

Her cheeks suddenly became hot.

Afterwards, Fu Yushuo nervously pushed away Mu Shaoheng's chest, which was too close to her, and squatted beside the flower bed to cover up and continue to appreciate and pick flowers.

But her increasingly red ears revealed the fact that her heartbeat was accelerating.

Mu Shaoheng looked at her red ears and profile, pursed his lips and smiled. But he didn't force her, and guarded her from a distance.
