I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

It is said that after Mu Shaoheng and Fu Yushu completed the engagement process and exchanged the engagement letters between Dieyi and Fu Xiaozhen, the two families successfully became engaged.

The old Princess of Nanjun and the Princess of Nanjun, acting as matchmakers, did not stay for long. They exchanged polite words for a while and then took their leave and returned home.

"Goodbye." Mu Shaoheng was very considerate and he and Fu Yusu specially sent the two matchmakers to the gate.

Considering Mu Shaoheng's status, it was really a great honor.

Although the old Princess of Nanjun and the Princess of Nanjun have a high status and a pivotal position in the Great Zhou Kingdom, in front of Mu Shaoheng, they are still... not special.

If they were not matchmakers, and the matchmaker happened to be the one Mu Shaoheng liked, to be honest, Mu Shaoheng would never send them out of the house personally, let alone send them out together with his wife.

It is enough to send away the butler.

Today, the old Nanjun Princess and the Nanjun Princess could naturally feel the enthusiasm of Mu Shaoheng and his wife. After they got on the carriage, they smiled and said the last polite words through the window:

"King Zhenbian, Princess, stop."

"My daughter-in-law and I are waiting to drink the wedding wine of the young princess and Mr. Fu Sanye, and we look forward to drinking it soon...Zhenbian Wang and Zhenbian Wangfei will see you later."

Mu Shaoheng smiled and nodded.

Fu Yushu waved her handkerchief with a smile on her face: "See you later."

After the carriage started, Mu Shaoheng stopped watching and took Fu Yushu's hand, saying with a smile, "Go back. You've been busy all morning and you must be tired. Go lie down and take a rest."

Fu Yushu was indeed tired.

I stayed up late with my husband last night and didn't get enough sleep. Today I was busy all morning and was really tired.

She nodded, and walked upstairs hand in hand with Mu Shaoheng obediently.

On the way, she accidentally stepped on a pebble, slipped, and almost fell. Fortunately, Mu Shaoheng hugged her waist in time, so she managed to stand firm.

"I was too aggressive last night. Are your legs still weak now?" Mu Shaoheng asked her softly.

Fu Yushu: ...

In an instant, her face turned as red as the red plum blossoms on the branches.

Just at this moment, Mu Shaoheng asked again: "Hmm?"

As a result, Fu Yushu's face became even redder, and heat was coming out of her entire face.

She was afraid that the man would say something more extreme, so she quickly denied it in a low voice: "No, no... I'm fine."

It was indeed okay, at night... She could feel that Mu Shaoheng was taking good care of her, and whenever he realized that she couldn't bear it anymore, he would slow down.

Seeing that she was so shy, Mu Shaoheng didn't ask any more questions. He just bent down, picked up his little wife and carried her back to the upper room.

Only after he put her down on the bed and sat her down did Mu Shaoheng continue the unfinished topic, whispering:

"Shu'er, I like being with you at night... I like it very much."

"Because I like you, I often find it hard to control myself. If you feel uncomfortable, please communicate with me in time. I can try my best to adjust for you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yushu's face turned red as a monkey's butt, and she stammered:

"Brother Shao Heng, no... I'm not feeling unwell. I just got up... a little early today and didn't get enough sleep, so I feel a little tired."

Mu Shaoheng understood immediately: "Okay, next time we will exercise earlier so that we can have enough time at night for you to get a good night's sleep."

Fu Yushu: ...

He nodded shyly.

"Go to sleep and take a nap." Mu Shaoheng didn't say anything else. He quickly took off her outer robe, then his own, and then hugged her and lay down.

During lunch break on normal days, Mu Shaoheng would have asked for it if he was in the mood. Today he was in a good mood, but he noticed that Shu'er looked a little tired, and he felt sorry for her, so he held back.

This is probably what you will do when you truly love a woman. You will involuntarily put yourself in her shoes and be considerate of her in everything.

An hour later, Fu Yusu had not woken up yet, so Mu Shaoheng kissed her on the cheek and quietly got up and went to the study.

Not long after, Xiangju, the maidservant beside the old lady, came to report: "Your Majesty, the old lady has something to ask you to come over."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng frowned instinctively.

He knows his mother too well and knows that she is not a good person.

It was probably because of Dieyi’s engagement today, but he didn’t inform his mother in advance, nor did he invite her to come and take charge, which made the old lady feel uncomfortable.

There's no telling what kind of trouble he'll cause.

Oh, what a headache.

At this moment, the concierge came to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to visit."

Your Royal Highness?

Why is the prince here for no reason?

You know, Mu Shaoheng has never sided with Empress Gao and the Crown Prince, and of course, he has never sided with Concubine Xiang and Prince Jing, and he has remained neutral for more than ten years.

In order to maintain neutrality, Mu Shaoheng was privately unwilling to have too much contact with the Crown Prince and Prince Jing.

Mu Shaoheng felt very disgusted that the prince came uninvited today.

but……

Today, Mu Shaoheng was not disgusted, and immediately smiled at the old lady's maid Xiangju:

"Go tell the old lady that the Crown Prince is visiting. I can't spare the time, so please go there when you are free."

As for when I will be free, it is still unknown.

In short, with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we can avoid it for a while.

After saying that, Mu Shaoheng sent Xiangju away, sat in the chair behind the desk, and waited for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Not long after, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in wearing a bright yellow brocade robe. As soon as he saw me, he smiled and greeted me, saying, "My nephew greets my uncle."

Uncle?

This was as Princess Yuehua called, trying every means to get closer to Mu Shaoheng.

Mu Shaoheng smiled faintly: "Your Highness, you are too polite. Please take a seat. I wonder what brings you here today?"

Such a straightforward question without any greetings showed his coldness.

Upon seeing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point: "Uncle, you don't know, Concubine Wan is pregnant..."

It’s my uncle again.

Before the prince finished speaking, Mu Shaoheng interrupted him coldly:

"Your Highness, please call me... the King of Zhenbian. Even when Yuehua was alive, she was only close to King Jing, who was under the patron saint of Concubine Xiang, and she had no friendship with the Crown Prince."

His Royal Highness: ???

Do you have to be so sharp-tongued?

Do you really have to be so disrespectful?!

If someone else had been so rude to him, the prince would have definitely turned hostile. But the other person was Mu Shaoheng, and the prince really didn't have the guts to turn hostile.

Even after a pause, the prince finally chose to change his words awkwardly:

"Prince Zhenbian, it's like this, Concubine Wan is pregnant. I know that Concubine Wan was sent to the palace by the Southwest Wood Mansion, and the child in her belly has half of the Southwest Wood Mansion's bloodline."

"But even if he is born safely, there are still a long twenty years before he grows up. Instead of putting your hopes on a baby, why not... support me?"

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng sneered in his heart.

So today she came to persuade me to abandon Concubine Wan and her unborn child, and to stand on the side of the Crown Prince?

Ridiculous. Gao Ni is related to the prince by blood, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to the prince, let alone Mu Shao Heng?

With a sneer, Mu Shaoheng bluntly refused:

"Crown Prince, please tell Queen Gao that Concubine Wan came from my Southwest Wood Mansion, and the child in her belly is destined to be protected by my Southwest Wood Mansion."

"If you dare to harm them, you will bear the consequences."
