I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

By the way, in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Shen Yixiao, with the support of Mu Shaoheng, successfully rejected Gao Shu who was trying to get close to him.

As soon as he was happy, after separating from Mu Shaoheng, he immediately called a group of friends to go to the restaurant to have fun.

A bunch of bad friends?

Ok.

This group of bad friends were none other than the same people who mocked him a while ago for "even liking someone like Gao Shu."

"Shen Yixiao, when are you going to marry that hottie Gao Shu? Don't forget to buy me a drink..."

Just as the group of people had just gathered together, a drinking buddy came over with a wine cup and started to make fun of them again.

However, Shen Yixiao was not annoyed this time. He drank a glass of wine happily and then laughed loudly:

"Marry a piece of shit!"

"Just now, I confronted her grandmother and told her that she was not qualified to be my wife!"

"…She said she had only two options: either lower herself to become a concubine, or take the 100,000 taels of compensation and consider it as buying her virginity!"

"Guess what? Her grandmother didn't even dare to say a word and just acquiesced to my decision!"

As soon as these words came out, all the drinking buddies opened their mouths in shock.

W-what?

One hundred thousand taels to buy the virginity of the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo?

This operation is really awesome!

It's not very lethal, but it's extremely insulting!

Is this a way to... avenge the previous shame in one go?

It took them a while to come to their senses.

"Our Brother Shen is awesome. He either doesn't make a move or he beats all of us guys when he does. You're not worthy of him, you're not worthy of him... Come on, let's toast to Brother Shen!"

One by one, they raised their wine glasses and toasted Shen Yixiao with a grin on their faces.

Shen Yi smiled and accepted all the drinks, drinking up every cup.

Shen Yixiao toasted and laughed wantonly, "You didn't see the scene when I negotiated with her grandmother. It was so impressive..."

Uh, he was so awesome, he just knelt on the ground and begged Mu Shaoheng.

However, there was no way to verify the truth of the matter with these friends, so naturally, they accepted whatever he said.

So, after this drinking party, Shen Yixiao boasted himself into a great figure who "could challenge Old Madam Gao alone"!

Amid the compliments and admiring looks from his friends, Shen Yixiao completely regained the dignity he had lost, and laughed unrestrainedly.

Suddenly, someone questioned:

"Brother Shen, you dare to challenge Madam Gao alone? You dare to embarrass her? She is the grandmother of Gao Ni, the commander of the Imperial Guard. Aren't you afraid that Gao Ni will settle the score with you later?"

He is worthy of the famous Gao Ni. Even if his name is just mentioned, all the young men in the room will immediately fall silent.

Are you kidding? That's Gao Ni, the person in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom who cannot be offended, otherwise you won't know when your head will be moved to another place.

Suddenly, no one dared to make a fuss anymore.

Shen Yixiao was also slightly stunned.

However, Shen Yixiao soon started laughing again:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows that Gao Ni and Gao Shu's family are not on good terms. Gao Shu is Gao Shu, and Gao Ni is Gao Ni!"

"During this negotiation, Madam Gao only represented Gao Shu's grandmother, and she didn't come to negotiate as Gao Ni's grandmother. Why should she be afraid of being repaid later?"

After this was said, everyone felt that it made some sense.

So, gradually, the atmosphere became lively again.

Shen Yixiao thought he could control everyone's emotions, so he became more and more boastful and kept bragging.

However, this time, he did not dare to "continue to belittle Madam Gao in order to elevate himself", but instead focused on "belittling Gao Shu".

Degrading Gao Shu, this topic has no psychological burden, a group of friends are very involved, they all echoed Shen Yi and laughed:

"Brother Shen is worthy of being Brother Shen. He even dares to go to the Duke's Mansion to pick flowers. Unlike the rest of us, who can only go to brothels... But just for this, Brother Shen is far better than us."

Shen Yixiao loved to hear this and laughed out loud “hahahaha”.

When Shen Yi was laughing happily, his trusted servant suddenly pushed the door open and whispered in his ear:

"Master, the old lady just sent someone to ask you to go back, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Old lady?

Shen Yi smiled and saw that the old lady was looking for him, so how could he not take it seriously?

You know, ever since the old lady fell ill (actually she was not ill, but was imprisoned by Mu Shaoheng), he has hardly seen the old lady.

Well, I have seen her once. On the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the "fake old lady" that Mu Shaoheng found appeared for the whole day. But that day, the "fake old lady" pretended to be very busy to avoid communicating with him.

Shen Yixiao still missed the old lady quite a bit. Apart from anything else, if he wanted to get Dieyi, he could only rely on the old lady's help.

Therefore, when he heard that the old lady had something to discuss with him, he automatically brought up "Dieyi and his marriage", and immediately stood up quickly, saying goodbye to a group of friends with a smile:

"I have something urgent to do and need to go back home right now. Let's meet again tomorrow, still here, and see you there."

"Okay, let's come back tomorrow." A group of friends laughed and said, "But, we won't be here tomorrow, let's go to a more interesting place, how about Zui Hong Xuan?"

Zuihongxuan?

Although Shen Yixiao had never been to any brothel since coming to Beijing, as a seasoned man, he knew what a fascinating place "Zuihongxuan" was just by hearing the three words.

Needless to say, it must be the famous Qinlou and Chuguan in the capital. The girls there might be even more charming than those in the southwest.

Shen Yixiao immediately said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow you will treat me! Just celebrate that I finally got rid of that annoying Gao Shu!"

Get rid of?

Well, for Shen Yixiao, as long as he doesn't marry her as his legal wife, he can be considered to have successfully gotten rid of her.

With this great joy, Shen Yixiao took a few servants and rode fast horses and quickly rushed back to the Mu Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Mu Mansion, he strode excitedly towards the old lady's courtyard.

Unexpectedly, before he turned around the screen wall, there was a sudden and loud sound of horse hooves outside the gate.

Shen Yixiao couldn't help but turn back, only to see a group of eunuchs coming into the palace. The leading eunuch was holding a bright yellow object in his hand.

The chief eunuch had sharp eyes and caught sight of Shen Yixiao. He immediately smiled at Shen Yixiao and said, "Mr. Shen, come and receive the decree."

Shen Yi smiled: ???

No way, this decree is for him?

The captain of the guards at the gate of the Mu Mansion immediately stepped forward to inquire, and learned that it was the Queen's order. The captain of the guards immediately sent a gatekeeper to the upper room to report to the princess.

After a while, Fu Yusu came out with Dieyi and others.

Fu Yushu led Dieyi, Shen Yixiao and others to kneel on the ground, ready to receive the order.

When Shen Yixiao saw Dieyi's beautiful figure, his eyes became lustful and he stuck to Dieyi, unwilling to move away.

I couldn't help but imagine in my heart that if this was an imperial decree granting marriage, it would be great if Dieyi could be married to him.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Yixiao was daydreaming, the chief eunuch began to read out the Queen's decree:

"...Shen Yixiao, the second son of the Southwestern Shen family, is a man of great literary talent and a pillar of our Great Zhou...Gao Shu, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, is both beautiful and intelligent...Today, Gao Shu is granted marriage to Shen Yixiao...The two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven...I decree this."

Shen Yi smiled: ???

What? It’s really an imperial decree granting marriage?

Marry Gao Shu to him as his principal wife?

Is there any mistake? !

Such a random matchmaking?

Shen Yixiao's whole body froze.

He was so stiff that he couldn't even kneel steadily, and fell directly to the ground.

At this time, the eunuch who announced the decree saw that Shen Yixiao had not yet accepted the decree, and could not help but remind him loudly: "Master Shen, please accept the decree."

Shen Yixiao's soul was called back, but he didn't want to answer it at all.

But he had no say in granting the marriage.

Even though Empress Gao's power and status are not as strong as before, as long as she is not deposed, she will still be the empress who commands the six palaces and holds the phoenix seal.

The imperial decree she issued to grant marriage was supreme and would not allow a young man like Shen Yixiao to refuse.

So, in the end, no matter how much Shen Yixiao resisted in her heart, she still had to raise her hands, accept the imperial decree granting marriage, and shouted three times, "Long live the Queen."

But as soon as the eunuchs who announced the decree left, Shen Yixiao wanted to tear the imperial decree of marriage into pieces!

At this moment, Dieyi glanced at him and said teasingly with a smile:

"Master Shen, congratulations, congratulations on finally getting the beauty. From now on, you don't have to cheat in the carriage behind my brother and sister-in-law's backs. You can now go out with Gao Shu openly."

Shen Yi smiled: ...

Staring blankly at Dieyi in front of him.

Dieyi had a sarcastic smile on her lips, her eyebrows raised high, and every inch of her face exuded strong sarcasm.

What to do? He really loves Dieyi's mean little look!

How to look at it, how to love it!

The more he loved her, the more he hated the imperial decree in his hand, thinking that
