After what happened at the Princess's Mansion last time, Fu Yunxi felt that Xiao Yimo would not want her to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the matter of the imperial edict granting the marriage was resolved.
As expected, Xiao Yimo in the palace was very wary of Fu Yunxi. Now she still needed the prime minister's help in the palace. If Fu Yunxi married into the prime minister's mansion, what would happen if Brother Jingming fell in love with her?
Xiao Yimo's eyes flashed slightly. She couldn't take this risk. She would choose a simple-minded girl for Brother Jingming at that time. He probably wouldn't blame her.
Fu Yunxi at the Fu Mansion said that she wanted to take a nap and drove all the maids out. When she saw that no one was guarding her, she slipped out and even changed into men's clothes.
Now, in just a few months, people have begun to spread the news about how the emperor doted on Concubine Xiao and how many rare treasures he gave her.
Fu Yunxi sat in the teahouse, listening to the storyteller and eating dessert.
She felt that the emperor doted on Xiao Yimo, firstly because Xiao Yimo was indeed beautiful and likable, and secondly because the emperor also wanted to put an end to other people's thoughts and tell the world that Xiao Yimo was his woman.
At this moment, a man knocked on the table opposite her and said, "Brother, you can sit over here."
Fu Yunxi looked up and saw a baby-faced boy with a bright smile on his face, which made people feel close to him.
She nodded and said, "Of course."
There aren't many seats in the teahouse, and other places are already full.
The baby-faced boy finished speaking and sat down beside him. He also called his friend, "Come sit over here."
Fu Yunxi looked up and saw a man. His face was like a sculpture, with distinct features and a handsome face. He looked gentle and refined, but the glint in his eyes was hard to ignore. Beneath his sword-like brows were a pair of slender peach blossom eyes that could easily draw you in. Add to that a high nose and red lips of just the right thickness, and you could only say he was a truly handsome man.
For some reason, Fu Yunxi felt that he was familiar. After asking Wuxin, he was sure that he was the one.
The baby-faced boy spoke first, "My name is Yu Qing'an, and this is my friend Shen Moye."
"Fu Yunxi, the Xi in northwest." Fu Yunxi changed the last character of his name. Seeing that the two did not suspect anything, he followed the storyline.
When Shen Moye heard Fu Yunxi's name, his eyes flashed. He was not like his good friend who really thought that the person in front of him was a man.
He had been in the army for many years and could recognize at a glance that the other person was a woman disguised as a man. Judging from her demeanor, she must be a lady from a noble family.
If her surname is real, then she might be from the Duke's Mansion.
Meanwhile, Yu Qing'an ordered a few plates of sunflower seeds and, while munching on them, said, "Everyone is praising the emperor and the imperial concubine for their love and how beautiful she is."
Originally, Yu Qing'an just sighed, but Shen Moye's face was not very good. There was an emperor who doted on his concubine so much, and the news spread among the people. What about the queen?
Seeing that it was getting late, Fu Yunxi said goodbye to the two people and prepared to return to the Duke's Mansion.
An accident happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago. The Prime Minister was accidentally hit on the head by a stone and has been in a coma for a day and a night. This made his close confidants very anxious, but the imperial doctors they invited said that the Prime Minister's injury was not serious, so they could only wait patiently.
A gentle-looking man opened his eyes. The moment his eyes opened, he felt the oppression of a superior.
Wen Jingming originally thought that he was dead, but he unexpectedly went back to five years ago. At that time, he had just become the prime minister and had not yet married Fu Yunxi.
He thought of his wife whom he had abandoned in his previous life, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. In fact, his wife was very good to him, but he only had Xiao Yimo in his heart in his previous life, so he ignored her. He would compensate her in this life.
Now Fu Yunxi is still unmarried. If he wants to compensate her, he has to marry her.
In his previous life, Xiao Yimo asked the emperor to grant him a marriage, but there has been no movement yet.
Therefore, Wen Jingming immediately began to prepare the betrothal gifts. Nowadays, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers, but he only has one mother, who became the prime minister with his own ability, so his mother listens to him very much.
He and the Duke's Mansion were relatively independent, so his proposal of marriage at this time should not be rejected. After all, Wen Jingming was considered a well-known young talent in the capital.
Fu Yunxi was still in the mansion and had never expected that the Prime Minister would come to his house.
She didn't know what was wrong with the prime minister. Instead of going to the palace to find Concubine Xiao, he came to the Duke's Mansion.
In his previous life, Wen Jingming agreed to marry his original body because of Xiao Yimo's request. Wen Jingming was unwilling to go against the kindness of his white moonlight. What was going on now? Not only his original body, but he himself had never had much interaction with Wen Jingming. At most, they had seen each other from a distance a few times during the Spring Banquet.
When Xiao Yimo in the palace heard the news, he almost crushed the cup.
Brother Jingming didn’t know Fu Yunxi before, so why did he go to the Duke’s Mansion? Did Fu Yunxi seduced Brother Jingming at some point?
She quickly sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver a letter to Wen Jingming, saying that she was not feeling well and asked Wen Jingming to come to the palace to see her.
Duke Fu Zhuo was also very puzzled. Wen Jingming usually didn't visit him, so why did he come at this time?
"I've heard that Miss Fu is a kind-hearted lady. I came here to ask for your hand in marriage. Here are my birth dates." Wen Jingming's words frightened Fu Zhuo, but the other party was the prime minister, and he brought a note with his birth dates, looking very serious. In addition, his daughter was indeed of marriageable age.
But marriage is no joke. Fu Zhuo said, "Let me discuss this matter with my wife."
Wen Jingming also understood the hidden meaning of the Duke's words, and knew that it was impossible for him to arrange the marriage today, so he returned home first.
Little did he know that as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he was told that Concubine Xiao in the palace was not feeling well and asked him to come into the palace.
If it were the old Wen Jingming, he would have gone to the palace immediately. But now he said to the palace servant who came to deliver the message, "Go and tell the Imperial Concubine that I haven't recovered yet. Since the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well, please go and call the imperial physician."
He was still thinking about how to get Fu Zhuo to agree to his marriage. Moreover, he now had the memory of five years later, and he could not tell the time between today and today.
After hearing the Prime Minister's order, the palace maids did not dare to delay and immediately returned to the palace to report.
When the emperor heard that the imperial concubine was not feeling well, he came to the palace to visit her. Xiao Yimo was upset by Wen Jingming, but when she saw that the emperor doted on her so much, she felt better.
