The Eldest Daughter Reborn: She Provoked the Obsessive Crown Prince and Couldn't Escape

Consort Ke Shu was a woman who had no children and was made empress in her previous life. She may not have anything else, but she has plenty of shamelessness!

She shamelessly wrote a letter and sent it to the Marquis of Chang'an's residence—the very letter that Fu Luan received.

The letter simply stated that she could consider the previously mentioned collaboration.

Fu Luan smiled and burned the letter on the spot.

"Cooperation? The essence of cooperation is exchange, and the premise of exchange is value."

"Now that Consort Shu has fallen out of favor, what value does she have? Does she even deserve to discuss cooperation with me?"

"What a joke!" Fu Luan immediately spat.

She would be very grateful if someone offered help in a time of need; unfortunately, she's now adding to what's already flourishing, and even then, it's only adding to what's already past its prime.

Xiao Jiu has already recognized Qing Luan as her mother, although Qing Luan's current rank is not as high as that of Consort Shu;

But with her resemblance to Fu Luan, she will surpass Consort Shu sooner or later!

Fu Luan's prediction was correct, because not long after, Consort Shu fell further out of favor following the downfall of Consort Mei!

This situation is vastly different from that of my previous life, in fact, quite the opposite—

In her previous life, Consort Shu coldly watched Consort Mei fall from power and even used the disgraced Consort Mei to rise to a higher position.

She rose to the rank of Consort Liang, becoming one of the Four Consorts; but now she has been disfigured and lost favor because of the "beauty and skin care" ointment given to her by Fu Zhengzheng!

Imperial physicians always only examined the surface of medicines;

The ointment at the bottom contained osmanthus powder, which could cause an allergic reaction in Shu Guiyi.

Osmanthus powder was originally made by repeatedly soaking osmanthus flowers to remove their fragrance.

After drying, it is ground into powder. Since the ointment itself has a lotus fragrance, even the best doctor cannot detect the presence of osmanthus!

This osmanthus allergy was originally a good opportunity for Shu Guiyi to win back favor by acting coquettishly.

Unfortunately, she was too focused on playing the victim to gain sympathy, and was eager to show the Emperor the red rashes on her face, hands, arms and even body.

Although the emperor felt sorry for him, he felt disgusted even more!

He instructed the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat Consort Shu well, but he himself never set foot in Consort Shu's palace again...

"Oh... my aunt didn't want to see the Prince of Yan when she had scratches on her face;"

"Is it because you're worried about this situation?" Hua Luo finally understood Fu Luan's intentions.

Fu Luan nodded.

She touched the scratches on her face; they had faded somewhat, but hadn't completely disappeared.

She deliberately prevented Fu Ling from receiving treatment. Because of these scratches, there have been some rumors circulating in the mansion recently.

Some say that "the female doctor Fu's medical skills have declined."

Some say, "What kind of doctor is a woman? I think she's definitely not as good as a man!"

There are countless rumors.

Although the rumor originated from among the servants, its source was crystal clear: Fu Zhengzheng!

Shu Guiyi's news never reached her ears because she was too busy;

She was busy following Dr. Zheng's instructions to find a way to get her own sister into that old man's bed;

She had other matters to attend to—someone had proposed marriage to her!

She recognized this person; he was Xue Yan, the young master of the Xue family who had spoken up for her in public on several occasions, even at the risk of offending Fu Luan.

Of course, he didn't propose marriage directly to Fu Zhengzheng, but first asked Aunt Yu Xi in the clouds to help him;

This is one of the reasons why Aunt Yunzhong and the Xue family's nephews and nieces have not left for so long.

"The Xue family is connected by kinship with the Fu family and the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion;

"Xue Yan himself has been visiting our family since he was a child, and you know him too."

"Although he is a bit lacking in martial arts, he is handsome, has outstanding literary talent, and is well-known."

"In the clouds, countless matchmakers line up to propose marriage to him!"

"He doesn't like any of them; he only wants to choose a wife he likes." Yu Xi took a sip of hot tea and continued:

"The Xue family is my husband's family, and their family background goes without saying. His grandfather was the Marquis of Chengwu, and his father was the heir apparent of the Marquis of Chengwu;

"To put it bluntly, the title of 'Marquis Chengwu' will belong to Ayan from now on."

“If you marry him, you will be a ready-made ‘Lady of Marquis Chengwu’, how glorious!”

"Once he holds an official position in the court, you will also have your own title and honors, just like Ah Luan."

"Now that Xue Yan intends to marry you, whether you agree or not, give me an answer today!"

Yu Xi originally wanted to write a letter to tell Yu Weiyan about this, after all, he was Zhengzheng's biological father;

On second thought, it would be good if Fu Zhengzheng agreed;

But if she disagrees, she might turn around and bite back.

It's hard to say whether she and the Xue family are working together to profit from her marriage!

Others might not be able to do this, but Fu Zhengzheng definitely can!

Yu Xi knew her character; she was just like her birth mother and her maternal relatives.

Yu Xi herself had never suffered a loss at their hands, but her sister-in-law, Madam Fu, had been tricked quite a few times.

Yu Xi then thought of asking Fu Zhengzheng's opinion herself first. If she didn't like Xue Yan, then everyone would be happy.

If Xue Yan is not fortunate enough to be chosen by Fu Zhengzheng, she can write to Yu Weiyan and let him make a decision later!

Fu Zhengzheng bit her lip and rubbed the hem of her clothes before finally asking in a low voice, "Such a good marriage and husband;

"Why doesn't Auntie introduce someone to my sister? She's already divorced and is a free woman now!"

Yu Xi sneered, "Zhengzheng, you can save your act of pretending to be stupid and reserved for men."

"You should keep it to yourself in front of your aunt! Even though your sister is no longer in the Crown Prince's Palace;"

"After a while, won't I still have to choose another prince as my husband and become the crown princess again?"

"Besides, Xue Yan specifically asked me to propose marriage to you—the second daughter of the Fu family. How can I possibly switch places and go to your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhengzheng slowly raised her head and asked incredulously, "What did you say? He specifically asked to propose to me?"

Yu Xi snorted, "Otherwise what?"

If Xue Yan hadn't mentioned it more than ten times, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to this room before her marriage to find Fu Zhengzheng!

In her opinion, Fu Zhengzheng's current shy and bashful appearance was nothing but an act!

After all, she had heard plenty of stories about the "good deeds" Zhengzheng had done!

At the last family banquet, she even witnessed Fu Zhengzheng lying and slandering Fu Luan!

"I am very grateful to my aunt for helping me with the matchmaking, but... the matter of marriage should be decided by my parents."

"Now that my mother and Madam Fu have passed away, I naturally listen to my father in everything."

"How about we wait for Father to come back before making a decision?" Fu Zhengzheng was already overjoyed.

But in front of her aunt, she still had to suppress her inner joy.

Yu Xi's face darkened as she said, "Do you think I don't know about 'arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers'?"

"Second Miss, please rest assured, this matter will ultimately be decided by your father upon his return."

"As your aunt, would I sell you out? I'm only here today to ask you what you think!"

Fu Zhengzheng smiled and said, "Of course... I'll leave it all to Aunt and Father to decide!"

"Are you willing or not? Make it clear! I can't understand your riddles!" Yu Xi frowned.

She couldn't stand Fu Zhengzheng's affected manner.

She often thought to herself: They were born of the same father, so why is Fu Luan so dignified and poised?

Fu Zhengzheng gives off a petty, unpresentable vibe.
