I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Chapter 361: Empress Gao Visits Fu Yushu

Mu Mansion in Beijing.

Mu Shaoheng went out for something, so Fu Yushuo sat on the warm couch by the west window of the inner room with the baby in her belly, basking in the sun.

In the middle of winter, open the windows to bask in the sun?

Well, because Mu Shaoheng was afraid that his little wife would get cold, not only was there a floor heating in the inner room, but there were also "more than thirty pots" of charcoal fire placed in every corner, making the entire hall as warm as spring.

Look carefully, there are more than thirty pots of charcoal fire, not two or three.

Whenever Fu Yushu moved a little, he would probably sweat slightly.

Therefore, even in the coldest month of the year, Fu Yushu could open the window at will, breathe in the fresh air, and bask in the warm winter sun.

Of course, every time the head maid Qingzhi opened the window, she would wrap her master in a white fox fur cloak to prevent the cold wind from blowing on her warm body.

Qing Zhi was indeed a caring person. He always paid attention to the condition of his princess, fearing that she was cold, hot, thirsty, or just bored sitting alone.

As a result, when I paid attention, I saw a very interesting picture.

Fu Yushu was seen facing the window quietly and obediently. She was holding a large gold-thread pillow in her arms, with her small white chin resting on the pillow, while her beautiful phoenix eyes were looking towards the direction of the courtyard gate.

This gaze lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

Whenever there were footsteps outside the hospital gate, Fu Yushu's eyes would light up noticeably, and she would stare intently at the entrance, even holding her breath.

Until she discovered that the person stepping into the courtyard was a maid or an old woman, the light in Fu Yushu's eyes would suddenly return to normal.

Qing Zhi guessed what her master was thinking. When pouring tea for her, she couldn't help but tease, "Princess, what are you looking at? Are you missing the prince?"

"Ah?" Fu Yushu was slightly startled, "Do I have it?"

"Don't you?"

Qing Zhi grew up with Fu Yushu as a playmate since she was seven or eight years old. The master and servant had a deep relationship. Therefore, Qing Zhi dared to joke with her master.

While serving a cup of hot tea, he said with a smile:

"The princess's thoughts are everywhere, on her moist lips, on her fair and tender cheeks, and especially in her sparkling eyes, so intense that they are about to overflow..."

Before she finished her words, Fu Yushu's cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

"Nonsense, no way."

Although she said this, after Fu Yushu took the teacup, she did not have her usual calmness and composure at all, and she almost blushed while drinking the tea.

Because, after the reminder from the head maid, she realized almost for the first time that she seemed to... always be looking forward to Mu Shaoheng's company.

If he's away for more than an hour, I can't help but miss him and look forward to his return.

Oh, realizing this clearly, Fu Yushu suddenly felt that he was so clingy.

No, no, Brother Shao Heng has his own things to do and can't accompany her from morning to night. She also has to find something to do to enrich her daily life as a pregnant woman.

Got it. I’ll embroider a few more sets of clothes for the baby in my belly.

"Qingzhi, go to the storehouse and pick out some soft fabrics for babies..."

Unexpectedly, just as Fu Yushu opened his mouth, Qing Zhi smiled and reminded him:

"Princess, you forgot that the prince couldn't bear to see you overworked, and you promised him to only embroider that one piece. After you finish, you are not allowed to embroider a second piece. It hurts your eyes and wastes your energy."

Fu Yushu: ...

Uh, almost forgot about this.

Brother Shao Heng watched her very closely, afraid that she would be tired or unwell, and he almost told her not to embroider more.

"But I'm bored sitting idle all day long, right?" Fu Yushu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "How about this, go to the prince's study and pick out some interesting children's books, and I'll read them to the child."

"Hey, slave, let's go right away."

Qingzhi agreed with a smile and went straight to the study in the front yard.

By the way, Mu Shaoheng's study has always adhered to the principle of "no entry for outsiders", especially when he is not there, no one is allowed to approach.

No matter whether it was the former old lady or the former Princess Yuehua, they were all stopped in front of the steps and were not even allowed to approach the study door.

Once you get close, there is only one outcome: with a "swish", two gatekeepers draw out their gleaming knives and force you back.

However, the guards at the gate were still the same people, and the manager in charge of the study was still the same person. When faced with Qing Zhi who was walking towards them, their reactions... were completely different.

The study manager came over quickly and said with a smile, "Miss Qingzhi is here, is there anything?"

Qing Zhi smiled and told her master what she meant: "Our princess wants to find some interesting children's books to read to the baby in her belly."

The study room manager immediately attached great importance to it and said, "This is easy to handle. Miss Qingzhi, please follow me in."

After saying that, he took the person directly to the study.

Uh, before they didn’t even let people get close to the study door, but now they directly bring Fu Yushu’s maid into the study?

This is really courageous.

Obviously, Mu Shaoheng must have given some instructions, otherwise, the study manager would not have the courage to do so.

The study manager took Qing Zhi to a brand new bookshelf, pointed at the rows of new books on it, and said with a smile:

"Miss Qingzhi, these are all treasures that the prince has recently found. Please take your pick."

Qing Zhi took a quick glance and was stunned.

My God, this huge bookshelf has twelve layers in total, and each layer is filled with... children's books.

Your Highness, how many books did you secretly bring back for the baby in your belly?

When Fu Yushu heard the news, she quickly put on her shoes and went to the study in the front yard. When she saw the books on the bookshelf, she was stunned.

My God, many of these books are out of print!

Fu Yushu was a talented woman who loved reading. She knew better than anyone how rare this unique book was.

Not only does it cost a huge amount of money, but it also takes time and energy to inquire and search everywhere.

In particular, the "Green Autumn", "Classic Biography" and "Silent Ladder" placed in the first row are the three books she mentioned to Mu Shaoheng in bed last month.

At that time, she just mentioned casually that the three books were very useful for developing children's IQ and that the royal family of the previous dynasty loved to use them. Unfortunately, when the previous dynasty fell, those books were also burned and are now extinct on the market.

I never thought that Mu Shaoheng actually remembered it and got it in less than a month?

Fu Yushu could no longer tell whether this level of care was for her or for their child.

She only knew that her brother Shao Heng was so nice!

At this moment, her heart is sweet, sweeter than eating honey!

Fu Yushu couldn't wait any longer, and immediately grabbed the three books "Green Autumn", "Classic Biography" and "Silent Ladder" from the bookshelf and hugged them tightly in her arms and took them back to her living room.

Starting from the first page of "Green Autumn", she read it word by word with deep affection to the little baby in her belly.

If he encounters something that is difficult to understand, he will use his own words and explain it to his baby several times in different ways.

When I was reading the fifth page, the concierge suddenly came in hurriedly and reported: "Princess, Madam Ru from the Queen's side is here."

Fu Yushu: ???

Why would Empress Gao's trusted nanny come here out of the blue?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………

Fu Yushu is a tolerant and generous person.

Even though Empress Gao tried to give Princess Yuning to Mu Shaoheng as a concubine in the first month of their marriage, what was done was done and she did not bear a grudge against Empress Gao.

but……

The relationship between people, once there is a crack, it will be difficult to return to the original state.

I will feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Therefore, when Fu Yushu learned from Nanny Ru that Empress Gao had booked the nearby Yuquan Teahouse and was waiting for her to go there for a tea-tasting gathering, she was extremely surprised.

"The Queen invites me to have tea?" Fu Yushuo confirmed again while sitting in the main seat in the hall.

Nanny Ru smiled and said, "That's right. The Queen had heard that Yuquan Teahouse had invited a great tea-making chef, and she happened to be free today, so she wanted to invite the princess to join them."

Saying "support" or something like that is definitely just a polite remark.

Fu Yushu could still hear this bit of socializing. However, since Empress Gao quietly left the palace to look for her, she must have something important to discuss?

What could it be?

Among the major events that have occurred recently, the only ones that can be linked to Empress Gao, apart from the encirclement and suppression of the Crown Prince's party by Prince Jing's party, are the scandal between Gao Shu and Shen Yixiao.

Could it be that he was lobbying her, trying to use her to convince Mu Shaoheng to help the prince?

Thinking of this, Fu Yushu shook her head silently. As a young woman, she did not understand the affairs of the court, and she would never use Mu Shaoheng's feelings for her... to influence Mu Shaoheng's actions.

So, Fu Yushu touched her belly and said tactfully:

"Madame Ru, I am not feeling well today. I am afraid I will disappoint the Queen. I have also heard about the tea-making master at Yuquan Tea House. He is a master from Jiangnan and has exquisite skills. The Queen will not be disappointed."

Aunt Ru: ???

The whole person was stunned.

Looking at the gentle Fu Yushu, he was so bold as to refuse as soon as he opened his mouth?

This Fu Yushu is not as easy to talk to as rumored.

Yes, if she was really good at talking to others, would she have caused such a big fuss with her mother-in-law (the old lady)? Would she have made the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so tense?

Thinking of this, Nanny Ru felt a chill in her heart and became even more alert to deal with Fu Yusu.

Unexpectedly, after all the sweet talk and a lot of words, in the end... Fu Yushu still refused to go out:

"I hope that Madam Ru will understand. This princess is indeed not feeling well, and my prince won't allow me to go out."

Uh, this doesn't even include a reason?

And you also brought up the prince?

Nanny Ru was so devastated, she really didn't expect Fu Yushu to be so difficult to deal with!

As a last resort, Nanny Ru had to say goodbye and returned to the teahouse alone to apologize to Empress Gao.

"What? She refuses to come?" Empress Gao slapped the table so hard that it made a "pa pa" sound. In Empress Gao's mind, Fu Yusu should be the kind of person who is gentle and easy to talk to.

Well, the so-called weak and easy to talk to means being cowardly and easy to bully.

Therefore, once Empress Gao discovered that Fu Yushu was very different from what she had imagined, her defenses were inevitably broken.

"Well, after all, she married into Mu Shaoheng's family and became a princess. She has become more and more... difficult to talk to."

Empress Gao took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and finally compromised helplessly: "Okay, I will go to the Mu Mansion to meet her in person."

Just like that, a quarter of an hour later, the Queen came to the Mu Mansion in disguise.

When Fu Yushu learned from the concierge that Empress Gao had secretly arrived, her first reaction was to frown: "This Empress Gao is really persistent."

When the Queen arrived, Fu Yushu, as the mistress of the house, had to step out of the room to greet her in person.
