The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy
Chapter 33: The Destitute Lady vs. the Emperor
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this third place winner could no longer sit still.
"My dear, do you know the third place winner?" Qi Sihan asked knowingly.
"I know him, but we're not very familiar with each other. It's just a friendship between elders." Su Mei briefly described the relationship between them.
Even if she didn't say it, the emperor would have found out the relationship between her and Murong Yuan if he wanted to. Besides, since the emperor asked this question, he would have found out the truth long ago.
In the early years, Su Mei's mother and Murong Yuan's mother were good friends, so they arranged this marriage.
Over the years, Su Mei has always regarded Murong Yuan as her future husband and looked forward to marrying him as soon as possible.
She once regarded Murong Yuan as a life-saving straw to save herself from the sea of suffering, but Murong Yuan insisted that he would only start a family and build a career after he had achieved fame and success.
So she burned incense and prayed day and night, hoping that Murong Yuan would pass the exam.
Later, Murong Yuan did become the third best student in high school.
However, the third place winner came to the Su family the next day to cancel the engagement.
How did he say that?
"Mei'er, you also know my current status. If I marry a merchant's daughter, I'm afraid people will laugh at me, so..."
"I am now a disciple of the Minister of Revenue. His daughter and I have a close relationship, but she has a stubborn temper and I'm afraid she won't allow me to take a concubine."
……
What a hypocritical scholar.
The little fox narrowed his eyes and looked at the overly plump woman next to the third place winner. This should be the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
It looks like he is not someone who can be messed with easily.
Murong Yuan, you are really not picky about food.
Hearing her say this, Murong Yuan's eyes darkened. She was indeed angry.
However, under the circumstances at that time, he had no choice but to make this decision.
Above the hall, under the red candle, the flickering light fell on the woman's smooth face.
A glimmer of surprise flashed across Murong Yuan's eyes.
She has always been beautiful. In the past, I only thought she was a beautiful girl from a small family, gentle and kind.
Now looking at her under the light, I find her stunningly beautiful.
A trace of regret flashed across Murong Yuan's face. If he had known earlier, he would have agreed to give her the status of a concubine, even if the young lady disagreed and kept her as a concubine.
At least, he could get a break from the fierce woman beside him.
Fang Mingzhu, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, was sitting next to Murong Yuan.
She was already very dissatisfied with Murong Yuan's inexplicable behavior of standing up to toast, and when she saw him staring at Su Fei, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Have you seen enough? Sit down."
She reached out and twisted Murong Yuan's thigh hard, then warned him in a low voice.
The people around him all laughed softly when they saw this. The sound was extremely humiliating to Murong Yuan's ears.
In the end, he just smiled bitterly and said nothing.
After a while, Fang Mingzhu turned her head to look at him and realized that he was unhappy. However, she didn't want to say it too obviously in front of everyone.
After handing him a piece of cake, he said, "Father has already made plans for you. After we get married, you will go to the treasury first."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your trouble." Murong Yuan said.
Fang Mingzhu smiled confidently, "These things are nothing to my father. I am his only daughter. As long as you are obedient in the future, you will naturally benefit."
Murong Yuan took a sip of tea and said nothing.
He naturally knew that what Fang Mingzhu said was true, which also restored some balance to his unbalanced heart. Su Mei's appearance and personality were certainly good, but her identity was really too low.
She was just lucky to meet the emperor, otherwise, with her status, it would be too high for her to talk to him.
The dinner continues.
Nothing unexpected happened afterwards. It was just that Su's father drank too much and talked nonsense.
Concubine Rou found him an eyesore, so she asked the eunuch to send them back to the palace early and settled them in a random courtyard.
In Su Mei's courtyard, she washed her hands with warm water and said, "You said that Concubine Rou is quite interesting. She went to great lengths to get these people into the palace, and in the end, they all ended up living in her palace."
"My Lady, they don't care about family ties in the first place. When we were in the temple, they wanted to kill us, so they found Aunt Jingxin, My Lady." Xiao Cui was a little anxious, "You must not be soft-hearted."
"Do not worry."
Su Mei thought that she would definitely not be soft-hearted, and now she was just waiting for Concubine Rou to make the first move.
Imperial Concubine Rou has already set her sights on her, so she won't let her go easily. She probably has more tricks up her sleeve than just these.
Just look at what she did to Lady Yang at that time, what she did was extremely perfect.
She had calculated the right time, right place, and right people.
After the winter solstice, the weather gets colder.
The snow outside was like goose feathers, and in a few days, it had formed a thick layer.
Su Mei's belly also grew bigger, and she became more and more lazy and unwilling to go out.
During this period, Concubine Rou sent her several invitations, but Su Mei refused each time due to poor health.
The emperor came to her frequently, almost the first thing he did after court every day. So Lai Fu moved the memorials over as well.
Su Mei ground the ink for her while supporting herself with her hands and watching him review the paper.
"I heard that the daughter of the Minister of Revenue is getting married today to this year's top scholar, Murong Yuan."
The emperor spoke casually.
Su Mei hummed, "Your Majesty's handwriting is really beautiful, strong and powerful, yet well-formed. Please teach me when you have time."
This little fox deliberately changed the subject, and it was hard to tell that she used to be madly in love with Murong Yuan.
"The Queen said you haven't been feeling well these past few months. Have you summoned the Imperial Physician?"
"I just want to take a break and rest quietly to take care of my pregnancy. Your Majesty, please provide good protection for me." Su Mei said in a sweet voice.
When the emperor heard her voice, a fire was aroused in his heart.
"Mei'er, you smell so good." The emperor suddenly put his arm around her waist and kissed her lips deeply. After a moment, he was reluctant to let go and said in a hoarse voice, "My beloved, I miss you."
Everyone in the room tactfully left. The emperor picked up Su Mei and placed her on his lap. He clasped the back of her head with one hand and kissed her again. His slender fingers took hold of a strand of her hair and explored downwards.
When the people he sent to investigate reported back about Su Mei and Murong Yuan's past, he was extremely jealous that she had loved a man so much.
"Mei'er, never let me down..." Qi Sihan murmured.
In the palace of Concubine Rou.
"Is everything ready?" Concubine Rou leaned lazily on the couch, playing with the red nail polish on her fingertips from time to time.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything has been prepared. This time, Your Majesty Su Fei will not be able to escape even if she has wings." Xiao Linzi said with great certainty.
I secretly sighed in my heart that Concubine Rou really spent a lot of money to bring down Concubine Su.
If this thing succeeds, it will be fine. If not, I am afraid that Concubine Rou will be deserted by everyone and her reputation will be ruined.
