I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Chapter 339: Empress Gao also comes to mediate

Is it harmful to your reputation?

It's really nothing.

You know, with Gao Shu's current poor status, she can still marry into a wealthy family like Shen Yixiao, which is simply a blessing from her ancestors.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene was very strange. The group of old ladies and noble ladies despised Gao Shu for her immorality, but at the same time they secretly envied the fact that Lin's daughter could marry into the Southwest Mu Mansion!

That’s the Southwest Mu Mansion!

Everyone knows that Shen Yixiao is the most beloved nephew of the old lady of Southwest Mu Mansion. It is no exaggeration to say that she dotes on him to the core.

The Shen family is the in-laws of the Southwestern Mu Mansion, and among all the men in the Shen family, Shen Yixiao is the most favored one.

In a word, Gao Shu is about to make a comeback, and good fortune is yet to come.

There are many people who think this way.

Especially Queen Gao. When she learned that her niece Gao Shu had won the favor of Shen Yixiao, Queen Gao's dazed eyes suddenly lit up.

It really lights up, as if there are candles lit in the eyes, so sparkling.

The smile on the corners of his mouth was extremely intense. Anyone could see that the previous smiles were all forced and fake. Only the smile at this moment was real and came from the heart.

Gao Shu's grandmother, Madam Gao, was much calmer. Not only did she not laugh, but she also reminded Empress Gao calmly:

"Your Majesty, don't take hearsay seriously."

hearsay?

As soon as these words were spoken, Empress Gao immediately realized that her mother was not optimistic about this marriage.

Empress Gao immediately became anxious and took her mother's hand and said:

"Mother, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Shu'er is not young anymore. She has finally found someone she likes. As elders, we should not break them up."

Besides, why would you want to break up a couple? Is it possible that if you don't marry into a rich family, you must marry someone of a lower status?

Empress Gao had heard in recent months that Gao Shu had a hard time finding a husband and that it was difficult for her to get married, and any better family looked down on her.

Even though he has fallen into such a state, he is really lucky to get the favor of Shen Yixiao!

As a result, not only was her mother unhappy, she also wanted to object?

Is this senility?!

Mrs. Gao was certainly not senile, but as someone who had experienced it, she knew very well that Gao Shu would not have a good life if she married him.

Although Shen Yixiao is gentle and refined and has shown a decent character, he is not a good match for Gao Shu after all.

Firstly, Gao Shu was not protected by Gao Ni, and the faction of Empress Gao and the Crown Prince was gradually declining, and she could hardly protect herself. Under such circumstances, if she insisted on marrying into a wealthy family, she would only be inferior to others in her husband's family.

Secondly, back in the Southwest Mu Mansion, Princess Fu Yushu and the old lady were having a huge fight, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

No matter how you look at it, Gao Shu is a relative of Fu Yushu's family. Once she marries, the old lady's family will never give Gao Shu a good life.

Thinking of this, Madam Gao was determined not to bring Gao Shu and Shen Yixiao together.

When Empress Gao heard this, she became anxious and the sharp nails on her nails almost scratched her mother. It was obviously inappropriate to have a passionate argument in the hall, so she found an excuse to invite her mother to the back hall for a detailed discussion.

In order to make Empress Gao give up, Madam Gao simply shook her head and refused: "My Queen, my legs and feet are not working well today, so I don't want to move."

The implication is that there is no room for negotiation at this time.

Just as he was frozen in silence, Gao Shu came in from outside.

Because she had just been hugged by Shen Yixiao, Gao Shu's cheeks still had a thin layer of red, and she walked into the hall with a blushing face.

When Empress Gao saw her from the corner of her eye, she immediately left her old mother behind and turned to Gao Shu, calling out warmly, "Shu'er, come to your aunt."

As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Gao Shu.

This meant that he wanted to pull Gao Shu to sit on his throne.

When Gao Shu saw this, she became even more proud, and her steps were so light that they moved quickly.

You know, ever since her mother lost power, Empress Gao banished her to the cold palace and hasn't been kind to her for several months.

With such an obvious contrast between before and after, Gao Shu became more and more certain of one thing in her heart: she had made the right choice by choosing Shen Yixiao as her husband!

"Aunt, Shu'er misses you so much too."

Gao Shu took Empress Gao's hand and sat down on the Phoenix Throne. Then she couldn't wait to dive into Empress Gao's arms, enjoying the long-lost intimacy.

Unexpectedly, before they had been intimate for long, the palace maid's voice came:

"Your Majesty, the Queen, the old lady of the Southwest Mu Mansion, the Princess of Zhenbian and the little princess are here to pay their respects to you."

Hey, didn't the people from Southwest Mu Mansion enter the palace earlier than Fu Yuzheng? Why did they wait until this time to come and pay their respects?

Uh, I don’t know the exact reason.

But it can also be seen from this incident that the Southwestern Mu Mansion did not take Empress Gao seriously at all.

Indeed, Mu Shaoheng did not take Empress Gao seriously, especially after Concubine Wan became pregnant and was poisoned and almost had a miscarriage, the two factions became even more incompatible.

The ladies present speculated:

"I'm afraid the Zhenbian Princess and her group went to Concubine Wan's palace first?"

"I think so too."

"Eighty percent so."

"Oh my god, if that's true, isn't that openly standing with Concubine Wan and challenging the Empress and the Crown Prince?"

"Concubine Wan came from the Southwest Mu Mansion. If they don't stand on Concubine Wan's side, are they going to stand on the side of the Queen and the Crown Prince? What are they thinking?"

While everyone was talking at once, they saw the Old Lady, Fu Yusu and Dieyi walking towards Empress Gao with smiles on their faces.

Empress Gao first glanced at Fu Yushu's lower abdomen and heard that there was already a fetus inside, more than two months old.

When Fu Yushu was about to kneel down to salute, Empress Gao quickly stood up, grasped Fu Yushu's hand, and said with a smile:

"I heard that Princess Zhenbian is pregnant. I am not feeling well, so please don't pay your respects."

Fu Yushu was a new mother, and her body was a little weak after being poisoned. She really didn't want to do anything that might hurt the fetus in her belly, so she smiled and said:

"Thank you for your consideration, Queen. I will respectfully obey your command."

This is what it means to be disrespectful.

Upon seeing this, Empress Gao immediately became unhappy. This Fu Yusu was too pretentious and arrogant!

It turned out that "I am not feeling well, so please don't pay your respects" was just Empress Gao being generous, as she usually said this to all the ministers who were not feeling well.

But to be honest, none of the other ladies dared to take it seriously. After saying politely, they all still knelt or bent their knees, determined to go through with the ceremony.

Only Fu Yushu took Empress Gao's words seriously and actually failed to perform the salute!

This really made Empress Gao very angry.

Unfortunately, the man behind Fu Yushu has a high status, and with Queen Gao's current status, she dare not control Fu Yushu at all.

Therefore, Empress Gao not only did not dare to get angry, but instead she smiled and offered Fu Yushuo a seat, trying her best to please her.

Fu Yuzheng caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

She knew that even though her sister and her group did not come to pay their respects to the Queen immediately after entering the palace, but instead ran to the palace of the pregnant Concubine Wan, which was very disrespectful to Queen Gao, the Queen Mother, Queen Gao would not dare to do anything.

Without it.

It is still unknown whether the baby in Concubine Wan's belly is a boy or a girl. Even if the baby is born, it will still be a long way from growing up to become the crown prince.

It does not pose a threat to the crown prince's position as crown prince for the time being.

At present, the only one who poses a real threat to the crown prince is Prince Jing. In the past few months, Prince Jing's party has launched a fierce attack on the crown prince's party.

As long as the Prime Minister (Fourth Miss Fu Yuxuan's future father-in-law) falls, the Crown Prince will be soon deposed.

Therefore, for Empress Gao, as long as the Southwestern Mu Mansion remained neutral and did not side with Concubine Xiang and Prince Jing, it would be all she needed.

This is also the reason why Empress Gao was willing to match Gao Shu and Shen Yixiao.

Marrying off a niece might allow Mu Shaoheng to remain neutral for a little longer for the sake of their in-laws.

How long can it last? How long can it last?

At this moment, a sharp northwest wind blew into the hall, lifting Gao Shu's skirt.

When Empress Gao caught sight of Gao Shu, she suddenly remembered Gao Shu and Shen Yixiao. She couldn't help but hold Fu Yushu's hand, and her smile became more sincere. She tried her best to bring them together:

"Princess Zhenbian, I heard that your cousin, Master Shen, fell in love with my niece Gao Shu at first sight..."

Fu Yushu: ???

His face changed slightly when he heard it.

No way, did Shen Yixiao, that venereal disease patient, really offend Gao Shu?

Not a rumor?

it is true?

Looking at Empress Gao's satisfied smile, could it be that she really fell in love with Shen Yixiao and wanted to issue an imperial decree to grant them a marriage?

Not only was Shen Yixiao suffering from syphilis, the worst thing was that the Shen family was about to be uprooted by her husband Mu Shaoheng, and the entire family would not survive for many days.

Thinking of this, Fu Yushu's expression became more solemn, and the kind-hearted girl instinctively wanted to interrupt.

Seeing this, Fu Yuzheng quickly interrupted and said, "Sister, I heard that you were not feeling well recently. Are you feeling better today?"

As he spoke, he came to his sister's side, held her waist and led her to her seat.

I managed to force my sister to interrupt me in time.

However, different spectators have very different interpretations of Fu Yuzheng's behavior.

For example, Empress Gao's instinctive reaction was that Fu Yuzheng opposed the marriage, so she interrupted her conversation with Fu Yusu in time.

For example, Gao Shu, who is worthy of being the aunt and niece, has the same idea as Empress Gao. She thinks Fu Yuzheng is deliberately breaking up the couple and can't bear to see her marrying Shen Yixiao.

As a result, Gao Shu hated Fu Yuzheng even more, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, slashing at her fiercely.

Catching Gao Shu's hostile gaze, Fu Yuzheng was stunned at first, but then she understood what Gao Shu was thinking and couldn't help laughing.

Well, it’s good that Gao Shu misunderstood me again by accident.

Otherwise she would have to think of other ways to further provoke Gao Shu.

Thinking of this, Fu Yuzheng deliberately glanced at Gao Shu, and then gave her an ambiguous smile.

As a result, this smile not only caught Gao Shu's eyes, but was also captured by Queen Gao.

Now things got lively. Empress Gao's heart skipped a beat, and then she made up her mind - she had to make it a fait accompli between Gao Shu and Shen Yixiao.

Otherwise, the marriage will be ruined.
