I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you
Chapter 149 Taste
On the path leading to the corridor, Mu Shaoheng and Fu Yushu talked about the dishes.
Mu Shaoheng looked at her profile and asked with a smile, "How do bear paws and tiger meat taste? Do you like them?"
It was the first time that Fu Yushu had eaten such a rare dish. She smiled shyly and said, "The royal chef's cooking skills are excellent and the taste is very good. Thank you, Your Majesty."
As she was speaking, a piece of bluestone under Fu Yushu's feet became loose, and she almost fell.
Mu Shaoheng was quick to reach out and hold her waist. He didn't just hold her for a moment... He didn't let go until she had walked forward several steps steadily and completely avoided the unstable bluestone road.
Mu Zitang saw this scene from afar and bit her lip in dissatisfaction.
Fu Linghao, who was walking in front, had been keeping an eye on his father... Oh no, he had been keeping an eye on his brother and sister, so he also caught this scene first.
At this moment, there was no doubt in his mind that Brother Wang fell in love with his sister!
Fu Linghao was not opposed to his sister being with the prince. He knew the prince's character very well. He was very respectful to his wife and would never do anything to "favor his concubine over his wife" in his life.
The concubines around the prince, including two side concubines, had long been poisoned and murdered by Princess Yuehua, and had aged into "old women in their sixties". The prince had not touched them for more than ten years.
They were all treated like old ladies and kept in other courtyards, provided with good food and drink, and taken care of until the end of their lives. That was all.
So, at present, my brother the prince does not have any concubines around him.
Last time on Osmanthus Mountain, when the king, Gao Ni and the other two were drinking, it seemed from the king's tone that he had no plans to take a concubine in the future and only wanted to marry a beloved woman as his princess.
It means a couple will be together for life.
This is really rare in a wealthy family that prefers to have three wives and four concubines!
Therefore, in Fu Linghao's opinion, if his sister is willing to follow the prince, it might be a good match!
After carefully observing his sister's expression and body language and confirming that his sister did not reject the prince's closeness and was not forced by the prince's power, Fu Linghao moved forward with confidence and took his wife to the corridor to guess riddles.
Mu Shaoheng was not in a hurry to guess the riddles. He was more enjoying the feeling of walking with Fu Yusu in the moonlight.
The night view in the palace is very beautiful. In addition to the stars and the bright crescent moon, there are pavilions and towers with small lanterns hanging from silk threads, and the branches are covered with flashing revolving lanterns. There are all kinds of them...
Therefore, Mu Shaoheng and Fu Yusu would enjoy the night view after taking a few steps.
Mu Shaoheng was well-read and good at finding topics to talk about, and Fu Yushuo was a talented woman who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The two of them had a lot in common and could chat together.
Therefore, whenever they saw a distinctive night scene, they would start a conversation with quotes from classics and laughter, which was very enjoyable.
After walking and stopping like this, by the time they finished the stone path and arrived at the corridor to meet Fu Yuzheng and her group, two quarters of an hour had passed.
Two quarters of an hour have passed!
In other words, Mu Zitang had been waiting for her brother with a pout for a full quarter of an hour!
"Brother Shao Heng, you're too slow. All the gifts are almost gone!" Mu Zitang grabbed Mu Shao Heng's arm and dragged him to a row of lantern riddles, pouting and saying, "Answer the questions quickly and help me win a gift!"
Mu Shaoheng glanced at his sister unhappily and said, "When you were little, I asked you to read more books, but you were lazy in every way. Now you can't even guess a lantern riddle?"
Mu Zitang: ...
Oops, I’m going to get scolded again.
She was the king's daughter who came of age. Her father died a few years after she was born, and Mu Shaoheng became the King of Zhenbian at a young age. So... like Fu Linghao, she was actually raised by Mu Shaoheng himself.
Unfortunately, she had no talent for studying, while Fu Linghao was a genius, and the contrast between the two was obvious. Therefore, when she was in the study room with Fu Linghao when she was young, she was often scolded by Mu Shaoheng.
Unexpectedly, after many years, she was going to be scolded again for bringing shame to the Southwest Mu Mansion by failing to guess the riddles.
Fu Linghao glanced at Mu Zitang. It was strange to say, but the Southwestern Mu family had always attached great importance to studying since their ancestors. The prince’s brothers and sisters were all well-read, with Mu Zitang being the only exception.
She seemed to be born with an incompatibility with books. She would feel sleepy as soon as she started reading, and she didn't look like a person from the Mu Mansion at all.
Because of this, the prince taught her a lesson many times.
However, they were in the palace tonight after all, and there was a group of outsiders in the corridor. Mu Shaoheng gave Mu Zitang some face and only said that one sentence in displeasure, and then did not embarrass her any further.
There are about ten lanterns hanging at the east end of the corridor, and each of them has a dozen riddles. At present, all the simple riddles have been guessed, leaving only six or seven difficult ones.
Mu Shaoheng waved at Fu Linghao and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, this year's top scorer, let's compete and see who can guess the most."
Fu Linghao came up to him and said with a smile, "Okay, since you are so interested, I will accompany you to the end."
Mu Shaoheng smiled happily when he heard this.
Of course, he didn't laugh because of this answer, but because Fu Linghao deliberately used the three words "third brother" in his wording.
Moreover, he spoke it extremely fluently, without any trace of force.
This is to intentionally force the relationship between the two to become that of brothers.
Mu Shaoheng patted Fu Linghao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good brother!"
At this moment, Gao Ni and Fu Yuzheng came over. He also patted Fu Linghao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How can we guess lantern riddles without my second brother, right? Come on, let's play together, three brothers!"
Fu Linghao: ...
He really didn't want to call him "Second Brother".
But a gentleman values his promise, and since he has already sworn brotherhood and recognized his brother-in-law Gao Ni as his second brother, he will not regret it. So, Fu Linghao also called Gao Ni "Second Brother".
Then, the three of them started a lantern riddle guessing competition in a happy atmosphere.
"Brother Shao Heng, guess this, guess this quickly, I want the corresponding rabbit lantern gift!" Mu Zitang was born in the year of the rabbit, and she had her eyes on this rabbit lantern for a long time.
Shouting happily.
Unexpectedly, Mu Shaoheng didn't guess that one, but guessed another one, and got a lantern in the shape of a "little dragon".
"Miss Fu, here you go." After Mu Shaoheng got it, he handed it directly to Fu Yusu. He knew that she was born in the year of the dragon.
Fu Yushu: ...
This unexpected gift made her slightly stunned.
After she came to her senses, she immediately took it in her hand, lowered her head and touched the delicate body of "Little Dragon", and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She smiled sweetly and it was obvious that she liked the gift very much.
Mu Shaoheng looked at her smiling face and smiled too.
Fu Linghao: ...
Brother Wang really is... pursuing his sister right in front of him without any concealment!
Mu Zitang became even more unhappy when she saw that Mu Shaoheng completely ignored her and was only thinking about Fu Yushu!
He got angry, stomped his feet hard, then left everyone behind and ran out of the corridor alone.
Just like this afternoon, Mu Shaoheng still ignored her.
Because Cui Jiaojiao was beside him, Fu Linghao was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings among her, so he did not chase after her and directly sent two servants to follow.
When Mu Zitang walked a distance, she looked back and found that not only did Mu Shaoheng not chase her, but even Fu Linghao had abandoned her! She was completely unbalanced and could not help but squat on the side of the road and cried.
"When I was in the southwest, Brother Shao Heng and Fu Linghao loved me so much! Why did everything change when I arrived in the capital?!"
~
Tonight, Mu Zitang was not the only one who was unhappy. Chen Liangdi from the East Palace also had a gloomy look on her face.
"My lady, just now another ignorant girl plucked your Zhaofen peonies. She plucked three in total! Do you want to charge her for it?"
A maidservant who came with the dowry was beaten to death, and the one who walked into the inner hall and spoke was another maidservant who came with the dowry. Her name was Hongyao, and she was also brought into the palace by Chen Liangdi from the family of Prime Minister Chen.
Chen Liangdi was delighted when she heard this, as she could earn money again.
She was just a concubine's daughter of the Prime Minister Chen's family and was not well off, so she came up with this good idea to make money.
Unexpectedly, just as she smiled, she remembered the reprimand given to her by the Crown Prince today, saying, "If you dare to use the title of the Eastern Palace Concubine to blackmail again, I will make her suffer!"
As a result, Chen Liangdi's face darkened again, and she waved her hands irritably, "Forget it."
Hong Yao obeyed the order and was about to leave the inner hall when Chen Liang Di called her back. She said angrily, "You can forget about the silver, but make her kneel on the snow outside the greenhouse for an hour before getting up!"
Hongyao: ???
Kneeling in the snow for an hour? The girl's knees must have been broken. They were painful and swollen, and she couldn't walk for a month.
This is exactly what Chen Liangdi wants!
She is the Concubine of the Eastern Palace. She can't just let others bully her without fighting back, right?
Those young girls from official families who are naughty enough should learn from Chen Liangdi's power and realize that they should not be underestimated!
She has only been in the palace for a short time, so she needs to establish her authority!
Thus, tonight, the first noble lady from an official family was born who was punished to kneel for an hour because she picked the peony flowers of Donggong Liangdi.
After punishing the man, Chen Liangdi felt a little relieved. However, when she went to the private vault to count the silver, she saw that the wooden box that was originally filled with silver was now empty.
That’s a full five thousand taels missing!
All of it was blackmailed by that bitch Fu Yushu!
Suddenly, Chen Liangdi became upset again!
What's more, it's not just a matter of losing five thousand taels. From now on, she can no longer accept money from other girls, which has cut off her source of income.
As the saying goes, destroying someone's financial resources is like killing his parents!
As a result, Chen Liangdi was so angry that she kicked the empty wooden box away, twisted her waist, walked out of the private storehouse, left the East Palace, and ran quickly outside to vent her anger.
At this moment, she heard someone crying on a secluded path not far away. When she got closer, she saw a girl in elegant clothes squatting there venting her emotions, muttering something like "treating her worse than before."
"Who is that person?" Chen Liangdi called a young eunuch who was guarding the place to ask.
The young eunuch whispered, "She is the young princess of the Southwest Mu Mansion, the younger sister of the Zhenbian King."
"Oh, is it their family's?" It's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road. Chen Liangdi rolled her eyes and looked disdainful!
She knew that Fu Yushu was able to extort five thousand taels of silver from her today, all thanks to the King of Zhenbian. So, she hated him along with his sister.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Liangdi turned to walk away, she suddenly heard "Fu Yushu, you are such a disgusting vixen...you only seduce my brother...hate, hate..."
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
How come this little princess from the Southwest Mu Mansion family... also hates Fu Yushu? It seems like she doesn't like the fact that the Zhenbian King likes that girl Fu Yushu.
Wow, tsk tsk tsk, Chen Liangdi's eyes suddenly lit up.
She returned to Mu Zitang and said with a smile, "I also hate Fu Yushu very much. We are destined to be together."
Mu Zitang, who was crying, looked over when she heard the words. She naturally didn't recognize Chen Liangdi.
But when she learned that the other party was the concubine beside the prince and was willing to help her destroy Fu Yushu, Mu Zitang stopped crying.
"Destroy? How, how did you destroy her?" Mu Zitang was obviously very interested in this.
Chen Liangdi smiled and said, "You don't like her being your sister-in-law, right? It's easy. Just let her marry someone else. As for which man, it depends on how you choose."
Mu Zitang: ???
She was confused. Fu Yushu had dated more than ten men, but didn't like any of them. How could she arrange a marriage for Fu Yushu?
She is not the current queen.
Seeing Mu Zitang's confused face, Chen Liangdi immediately understood that this was a little princess who had been well protected since childhood and had rarely seen the private parts of the rear quarters.
So Chen Liangdi taught her carefully: "Choose a man you don't like at random, give Fu Yushu drugs, and make her lose her virginity... You won't be able to refuse to marry her."
Mu Zitang: ???
She was so shocked that her eyes widened, and then she took several steps back, stammering, "You, you... are a bad woman..."
When she got nervous, Mu Zitang ran away, looking back from time to time to see if the bad woman was catching up with her. It was not until she met the servant from the mansion who came to look for her that Mu Zitang's frightened heart calmed down a little.
Seeing that the little princess of the Mu Mansion was so timid and cowardly, Chen Liangdi realized that she was just a weakling!
She snorted, rolled her eyes and said, "It would be great if the King of Zhenbian was as cowardly as you!"
Unfortunately, the King of Zhenbian is a very bold man, and he even dares to turn his face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Therefore, Chen Liangdi could only stamp her feet in frustration.

The palace banquet is over.
As Fu Yuzheng and her sister walked out side by side, she recalled the fireworks that had just bloomed with excitement: "Sister, the fireworks in the palace are different. They are much better than the ones we buy privately."
Fu Yushu nodded: "Indeed."
After hearing this, Fu Linghao, who was walking behind them, guessed that after leaving the palace gate, Prince Wang and Gao Ni would probably go looking for high-end fireworks.
At this time, Gao Ni smiled at Fu Yuzheng and said, "Do you like it? Just go back home and continue setting off fireworks. I have asked someone to bring three boxes of fireworks and put them on your carriage. It's enough for you to set off for several nights."
For Gao Ni, taking things from the palace's storehouse was as easy as taking something out of a bag.
Fu Linghao: ...
Gao Ni had arranged everything in advance before he even walked out of the palace gate.
have to obey.
As expected of him...the second brother!
At this time, Gao Ni put his arm around Mu Shaoheng's shoulders again and said jokingly, "How about it, big brother, do you want to go with me to Jingyang Marquis's Mansion and set off fireworks?"
Hearing this, Fu Yushu, who was walking in front, became nervous first.
Today, after meeting again after a long separation, Mu Shaoheng treated her... obviously very differently from two months ago... He always did things that made her blush and her heart beat fast.
Just when she was getting nervous, she heard Mu Shaoheng refuse: "Let's do it another day. It's too late tonight and we can't go home if there's curfew."
Gao Ni smiled when he heard this: "If you can't go back home, then don't go back. Why don't you just stay overnight?"
Mu Shaoheng: ...
After hearing this, Fu Yuzheng turned around and twisted Gao Ni's arm. This stinky man not only didn't learn his lesson, but also wanted to teach the King of Zhenbian bad things!
She got so angry that she pinched the stinky man several times!
After being scolded by Fu Yuzheng, Gao Ni stopped teasing and decisively changed the topic to a more serious one.
In the end, Mu Shaoheng did not follow Gao Ni to Jingyang Marquis Mansion to set off fireworks, but he did not go back to Mu Mansion directly. Instead, he and Gao Ni rode on tall horses and sent Fu Yusu and Fu Yuzheng back to Jingyang Marquis Mansion in a high-profile manner.
Mu Zitang was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the carriage.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped. She thought they had arrived at the Mu Mansion. But when she lifted the curtain and prepared to get off, what she saw was an unfamiliar mansion!
When I looked up, I saw the plaque on the gate actually had the words "Jingyang Marquis Mansion" written on it!
When he turned his head again, he saw Mu Shaoheng standing under the carriage. He helped Fu Yusu out of the carriage and walked her all the way into the gate of the marquis' mansion.
Not until Fu Yushu's back completely disappeared did Mu Shaoheng bear to mount his horse and return to the Mu Mansion.
The reluctant and nostalgic look on her brother's face directly irritated Mu Zitang. She couldn't help but stomped her feet in anger in the carriage again!
"Fu Yushu, you are so coquettish!"
