Chapter 73 Fu Heng "Proposes"
At this time, Fu Heng, who had already walked some distance, suddenly realized that Hailancha had not left yet!
He couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart: Could it be that this guy wanted to compete with me for Yingluo? If that was the case, then don't blame me for being rude!
So Fu Heng hurried to the Yangxin Palace and discussed state affairs with the emperor.
After the matter was settled, he followed Wei Yingluo's instructions and took the opportunity to "complain" to the emperor, telling him about Hong Zhou's secret meeting with a palace maid.
"Your Majesty, I overheard it when I was passing by, and the prince and I made an appointment to meet the woman again at the same time next month."
When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly became serious.
He was well aware of Hong Zhou's usual absurd behavior, but he had never expected that he would be so bold and reckless that he even dared to covet the palace maids.
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered Li Yu to arrange people to closely monitor Hong Zhou's every move when he entered the palace to pay respects to the empress dowager next month to see if he met with the palace maids. If so, bring everyone over immediately.
He also issued an oral order that he was not allowed to walk around the palace alone, especially in the harem.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Fu Heng felt relieved. He believed that as long as the emperor intervened in the matter, Hong Zhou would be restrained.
Now, after Fu Heng told Wei Yingluo that the emperor's decree had been issued, Wei Yingluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In Changchun Palace, in addition to taking good care of the queen's health every day, she also redrawn the blueprint of the Ice Mirror.
"Empress, please come and see! Yingluo ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make this ice jar. It can not only hold fresh fruits, but also drinks. It has many uses!" Mingyu walked into the inner hall of Changchun Palace happily.
Then, she introduced in detail to the Queen Mother the various uses of the ice jar, and how there were compartments on both sides of the ice jar, the compartments were for ice, while the inner layer could be used to hold fruits and drinks.
Empress Fucha nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh at Yingluo's meticulous mind and extraordinary intelligence. She asked Mingyu to take out the ice bowl and start tasting it.
After a while, the queen asked in confusion, "Where is Yingluo? Why didn't she come here? Why did they send you here instead?"
"Yingluo is preparing today's medicinal food for you." Mingyu answered obediently, then waved to the eunuch beside her to take the ice jar away.
"Why did you withdraw? I just finished the first bowl!"
There was a hint of grievance in Empress Fucha's tone, which was very different from her usual dignified and generous appearance. Even Mingyu who was standing beside her couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She thought to herself that after Yingluo came to Changchun Palace, the Queen seemed to have become more at ease, and was very similar to when she first entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, Yingluo said that your body has not yet recovered, so you should not drink too much cold water. So you can only use one bowl." Mingyu advised with a firm face.
The Queen sighed softly and said in a very gentle voice: "Okay, then let's withdraw."
It was not until this moment that Mingyu realized, as if awakened from a dream, that the relationship between the Queen and Yingluo seemed a little subtle and awkward recently, but she still couldn't figure out what went wrong.
After a struggle, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "Empress, I feel that Yingluo has always put you first. No matter what mistakes she made, they may be excusable. I beg you to forgive Yingluo."
The Queen smiled slightly, but her face was still a little pale: "No, Yingluo has always been fine. It is precisely because she is really fine that I am worried..."
Mingyu was even more confused, "My Lady, I am even more confused."
She frowned and looked at the queen with confusion, as if wanting to get an answer from her.
The queen sighed slightly, waved her hand, and said, "It's okay, Mingyu, you can leave. I need to think about it myself."
After saying this, she supported her forehead with her hand and gently rubbed her temples, looking very worried.
Her thoughts gradually drifted back to a few days ago.
At that time, Fu Heng suddenly came to Changchun Palace and told her firmly that he wanted to marry Wei Yingluo.
The queen opened her eyes wide and looked at her own brother in disbelief, her surprise was beyond words.
"What did you say?" The queen's voice trembled, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
Fu Heng's expression was unusually calm. He took a deep breath and repeated, "Sister, I want to marry Yingluo."
The queen leaned back and rubbed her temples vigorously, trying to ease her inner anxiety and worry. She knew that Yingluo was a woman of strong character, so how could she be willing to be a man's concubine?
"Fu Heng, do you know that Ying Luo..." The Queen hesitated but finally couldn't help but persuade.
"With her personality, how can she endure being your concubine? I'm afraid that in less than half a year, our Fucha family will be turned upside down."
"It seems that Sister Ji understands Yingluo's personality better than I do." Fu Heng smiled lightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if with a hint of ridicule.
However, his eyes were extremely firm, as if he had already made up his mind. "If that's the case, then why would my sister talk about taking a concubine?"
His voice was deep and powerful, and the sincerity of his voice was impossible to ignore.
The queen stared at him silently without saying a word. As time passed, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Finally, Fu Heng sighed deeply, his eyes were as sharp as torches, he looked directly at the queen without flinching, and spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"I will marry her openly and honorably, and bring her home in a sedan chair carried by eight men!"
As soon as she said this, the queen slammed her right hand on the table, causing the teacup on the table to jump violently.
The queen leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on him, full of surprise and worry.
"Fu Cha Fu Heng, do you know what you are saying?" There was a hint of severity in her voice, as if reminding Fu Heng not to make impulsive decisions easily.
Fu Heng's expression remained calm, and he seemed confident in his choice.
"Of course I know." His answer was concise and clear, without any hesitation.
"Although the Wei family is only from the Imperial Household Department, I am confident that I can convince my father and mother to let me marry her."
The queen shook her head slightly. She was not as naive as her brother. She knew the tradition of the Fucha family very well. It was almost impossible to get the approval of her father and mother for such an unequal marriage.
Her tone became serious, and she warned Fu Heng in a panic, "Fu Heng! With Ama's old-fashioned personality, how could he possibly agree to this marriage?"
Fu Heng smiled again and winked at the queen mischievously, as if telling her that there would be a way to solve everything.
"Don't forget, you are here, sister." He said softly, his words revealing his trust and reliance on the queen. It seemed that as long as the queen was there, any problem could be easily solved.
