Chapter 846: To Actually Not Care About Status and Go to the

rprise."Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you""Big brother, second brother, Mother fainted!"This night was bound to be sleepless.Mu suddenly fainted, and the three siblings of the Zong family were so...Fang Jinshi received the imperial decree and casually gave a silver note worth one hundred taels to the eunuch who delivered it.

Just now, that old man was still full of arrogance. After seeing the amount on the silver note, his smile turned sinister in the next second.

"Oh my, madame, you're too kind."

"Even the miscellaneous dishes are nothing special, it's just that the Empress's vegetables and grains are of good quality, deeply loved by His Majesty."

"My lady, it's best to prepare quickly and follow me to the palace to see the Emperor. It wouldn't be good to keep His Majesty waiting."

Fang Jinshu nodded. Money is good, indeed. The eunuchs in the palace would move according to money. For them, some insignificant, casually mentioned news could be extremely precious to others.

"Alright, please wait here for a moment, sir."

The clothes she wears when entering the palace cannot be too eye-catching, nor can they be too shabby and embarrassing.

There are also some tricks to it. Making a good first impression on the emperor is very important.

Being too eye-catching would invite jealousy from the concubines. To be honest, Fang Jinshu was truly afraid that the emperor was a lecherous old man. What if he took a liking to her

But she couldn't be too ordinary either, for without distinction, she couldn't please the Emperor and her position as a royal merchant would be in jeopardy.

Fang Jinshui spent a long time in the room tossing around with Xiaoyue until she finally managed to create an image that satisfied her.

As for clothing, the material is top-notch, but the style has a bit of a nouveau riche vibe, it's a little rustic and not as elegant.

The woman's updo was styled in a bun, adorned with numerous gold ornaments. At first glance, she reeked of copper—the scent of a merchant.

However, because Fang Jinshui's facial features are delicate, this nouveau riche outfit doesn't look out of place on her at all. Instead, it gives her a mature and capable feeling.

"Alright, this will do."

Xiaoyue giggled behind her, she had never seen the mistress dressed like this before, as if she wanted to hide her wealth.

Though she may not be the most talented, her beauty is undeniable. No matter what she wears, she looks stunning and approachable.

When Fang Jinshi was finished dressing, she walked out. The eunuch delivering the imperial decree was taken aback again when he saw her.

"Father-in-law, we can leave now."

"Are you sure you want to enter the palace dressed like this"

Fang Jinshi's current attire is not as elegant and refined as the simple dress she wore when she received the imperial decree. Her aura has noticeably declined.

Fang Jinshu smiled shyly, "This is the best piece of clothing in my wardrobe. After all, I'm going to see the Saint, how can a common woman be disrespectful"

She wasn't wrong.

The eunuch tasked with delivering the imperial decree hesitated, his eyes darting nervously.

"Alright, come on in."

Mu Shi and others worried all the way to the door, but Fang Jinxiu only brought Xiao Yue with her into the palace.

Before getting on the carriage, she turned back and said, "Mother, Yulian, you two go inside first."

"I'll be back soon, it's fine."

Mu nodded, but worry still clouded her face.

As a daughter-in-law, she's now entering the imperial palace to see the emperor. This was something she couldn't even dream of before. But there's a saying Mrs. Mu knows well: "Serving the monarch is like serving a tiger." If the daughter-in-law were to say the wrong thing in front of the emperor, she could very likely face danger.

How could she not be worried.

"Mother, let's go back. Sister-in-law is so intelligent, she will surely handle it. Don't worry."

Yu Lian completely believed in Fang Jinxiu's abilities. She always felt that their small village was not a suitable place for her sister-in-law. With her sister-in-law's skills, she would shine wherever she went with ease.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Fu Ming volunteered to pick up Fang Jinxiu. The birthday gift Fang Jinxiu had prepared was a success; the emperor loved it very much and was extremely pleased, a happiness that was evident to everyone.

He even kept the birthday present he offered separately.

It shows how much it is valued.

As the son who offered this gift, he naturally received a bit more attention.

However, Fu Ming was making his first appearance before the emperor. Before this, in the emperor's eyes, he was like a transparent person on display.

The emperor knew he had such a son, but he didn't know what he looked like, how old he was, what his temperament was like, or what he had done. He didn't care.

Although Fu Ming gained some attention thanks to the success of his birthday gift, it wasn't enough. To truly capture the emperor's favor, he needed more than just presents.

When he proposed to pick up Fang Jinshi at the palace gate and guide her, many officials sneered.

I thought the Seventh Prince had grown some skills, it seems we overthought it. A prince would actually disregard his status to greet a commoner at the palace gates.

The emperor said nothing, merely waved his hand in assent to the request. frightened reaction and couldn't help but look down on her.With that little bit of guts, you dare to come looking for trouble all by yourselfShe was addicted to it, turning and picking up the bamboo...
