Chapter 5 Pei becomes a co-wife
Xie Changsheng narrowed his eyes: "What is it?"
Fu Danjun blinked a few times and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please grant me a divorce from Lu Yu."
Xie Changsheng suddenly fell silent.
Fu Danjun quickly said, "This way, I won't have to hide when I enter the palace."
Xie Changsheng continued to smile and asked with his eyes closed.
"Are you in love with me?"
Fu Danjun discovered that he was actually a love-brained person and smiled: "Which woman doesn't love the emperor?"
Xie Changsheng was not satisfied with the answer, but he endured it and stopped demanding more.
Why was he so demanding of her?
Anyway, he will never get the woman he loves most, he is just chasing a shadow.
Fu Danjun was thinking about the divorce, and saw that Xie Changsheng neither refused nor agreed.
"Your Majesty, you are tired. Can I help you relax your muscles?"
Xie Changsheng was lying down and about to fall asleep, but was suddenly aroused by this woman.
He himself forgot how much time had passed and said it with his eyes closed.
"Let's go."
Fu Danjun pecked him lightly on the cheek, hoping that Xie Changsheng would think of her and allow her to divorce Lu Yuhe.
When he left the hall, two maids helped him wrap himself in clothes and put on a coat.
As usual, he led her to the dark room to wash and gave her a bowl of contraceptive soup.
When I passed by the temple gate, I saw a woman kneeling at the foot of the steps with a resentful look on her face.
"Greetings to Concubine Zhou."
Fu Danjun naturally could not be rude, and he knew that she was the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Zhou.
"Get out of the way!"
The look that Concubine Zhou gave Fu Danjun was filled with resentment.
The women in the palace hate women, and it’s all because of that one and only man.
Fu Danjun was stunned for a moment, but after he understood it, he was no longer surprised.
"Do you think you're special?"
As Fu Danjun followed the nanny forward, Concubine Xiao Zhou questioned him from behind.
Fu Danjun couldn't help but turn around and said with a smile: "I entered the palace only to obey the emperor's order. Please don't blame me, Concubine Zhou."
Concubine Zhou gritted her teeth and sneered: "You think it's an honor to obey the emperor's orders, right? I see you look like you enjoy it."
Fu Danjun couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Do I really have to look sad? Why is Concubine Zhou so hard on me? If I don't come, there are other women who will. We are all women. Why should women make things difficult for other women?"
Concubine Zhou refused to give up and looked stubborn.
"You've been here for quite a while this time? Is the Emperor so obsessed with you?"
Fu Danjun smiled bitterly again and said, "The Emperor will get tired of me sooner or later."
Little Concubine Zhou took this to heart and suddenly laughed out loud with a gloating look on her face.
"Yes! Yes! The Emperor will tire of you sooner or later!"
Fu Danjun's almond-shaped eyes sparkled: "I wish it were earlier so I wouldn't have to worry."
Concubine Xiao Zhou's hostility towards her suddenly disappeared, and she approached mysteriously.
"To be honest, we are all the shadows of a certain woman, we just look like her."
When Fu Danjun first heard it, he didn't quite understand.
"What Concubine Zhou means is..."
Concubine Zhou leaned in closer and said carefully, "The Emperor fell in love with a woman in his early years, but unfortunately they couldn't be together. If you don't believe me, just look at me. Do I look a bit like you?"
Fu Danjun couldn't help but look at Concubine Zhou carefully.
Concubine Zhou couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Anyway, you will know sooner or later."
Coincidentally, the chief eunuch beside the emperor came over to speak.
"The Emperor has issued an oral order, and Concubine Zhou is here to see you."
Concubine Zhou was delighted to be summoned. As she walked in, she turned around and looked at Fu Danjun proudly.
That means: "Look, the emperor doesn't need you, does he?"
Fu Danjun stood there in shock, and it took the nanny urging him twice before he reacted.
Why should I feel lost? I am not a woman who needs to compete for favor in the palace.
She died in her previous life.
Didn't Xie Changsheng help her soul to be reborn? He wasn't heartless or ungrateful.
When she entered the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Fang was extremely anxious.
"Madam, the old lady sent you two messages to come over. I said you had diarrhea after eating peaches at night, so I covered it up."
Fu Danjun felt distressed when he saw Lan Fang sweating profusely.
"I'm not back now, so you don't have to worry."
Lan Fang quickly changed her clothes and urged, "Let's go quickly, or else someone will come and ask about us again."
Fu Danjun changed his clothes and went to his mother-in-law's yard.
Mrs. Lu usually likes to put on airs and act in a big way, completely ignoring the Lu family's actual financial situation.
She probably relied on Fu Danjun's dowry and felt fearless.
For some reason today, it got even worse.
"Are we so poor in this house? We can't even afford to raise decent chickens?"
The old lady drinks chicken soup every day and has high requirements for the quality of the chicken. The chicken must be raised in her own house and fed with live insects.
"The daughter-in-law has met the mother-in-law."
Fu Danjun controlled his temper and bowed, but straightened his back without waiting for the old lady's consent.
Pei Xi burst out laughing.
"Look at my sister, old lady. She has diarrhea and looks so angry."
The old lady leaned on the couch and glanced at Fu Danjun.
"The chickens in the mansion were not well cared for, and the chicken soup tasted bad."
Fu Danjun didn't want to conflict with her and said with a smile.
"The servants must have been lazy and didn't catch insects properly to feed the chickens. I'll tell them off later."
Before the old lady could say anything, Fu Danjun interrupted her.
"A few days ago, my mother said she wanted to eat fresh rice fish, so I asked my servants to get some. Fresh fish soup is excellent. You can drink it for two days first. Once the chicken has recovered its flavor, you can drink the chicken soup later."
There was no way to refute this statement, and Pei Xi giggled again.
"Listen to my sister, one is worth ten of mine."
The old lady snorted and glared at Fu Danjun as usual.
"Ms. Pei has been serving me breakfast these past two days. You're getting lazier day by day."
Fu Danjun smiled slightly: "As Sister Pei's status suggests, after serving Mother breakfast, she should serve me, but she hasn't done so once. I didn't mind it. I thought that she was diligent in serving Mother for me."
The implication is that Pei is a concubine and it is her duty to serve others.
Pei pretended not to be angry and continued to be friendly.
The old lady was speechless and suddenly had a fit.
"You're being lazy and you still think you're right? Fine, fine, I won't argue with you. Let me take this opportunity to make it clear today. Starting tomorrow, Pei will be the co-wife, and your status will be the same."
How could Fu Danjun feel comfortable? But he agreed with a smile.
"Sister Pei Xi is more favored than me. Let alone becoming a co-wife, I can't stop her even if she divorces me and becomes her legal wife."
Then he changed the subject: "From now on, don't worry about feeding the chickens and buying fish for the family. My sister can take care of it. Even the money matters, the weddings and funerals of the nobles, can be taken care of. I am lazy and stupid, so I just need to have food to eat and I am happy to have some free time."
When the old lady heard about the money coming in and out, she felt uneasy.
If Fu Danjun doesn't give out her dowry money, how will the family support itself?
