Chapter 357: A Gift for Brother Emperor
Chu Qinghuang spent half an hour understanding the relationship between the emperor's brother and this woman.
The name of the woman involved in the incident is Fu Dange, and she is the sister of Fu Danqing, the minister of the Ministry of War. She was twenty-eight when she met the emperor's brother, and she was in her prime. It is said that the reason was that Fu Danqing was ill, and Xuanyuan Hao, as the emperor, came to visit him in person. Then he met his sister.
At the foot of the imperial capital, there are as many noble daughters as stars. Which big family doesn’t have a few daughters?
Who among the young courtiers does not have several sisters?
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for a high-ranking king of a country to fall in love with her at first sight just because she is a beauty.
However, Rong Zhan wasn't sure what happened after that, and the other companions didn't know much about it either. He only knew that in those years, ministers would submit memorials to the emperor every day, asking the emperor to select the emperor, but the emperor remained unmoved.
Several companions would advise him privately. After all, a country cannot live without heirs for a day. The emperor and his heirs are a major matter related to the country. The harem is vacant and there are no heirs. How can people not be anxious?
What's more, many ministers in the court want to send their daughters to the palace to serve the emperor. If they can be made a concubine or something, they will become relatives of the emperor, and the family status will be improved instantly.
However, they persuaded and persuaded, and waited and waited. When the emperor was in his thirties, he was still unwilling to be drafted into the palace. In addition, Fu Danqing was always summoned alone, which naturally caused the ministers to speculate that the emperor was a judge. The Lord of Sleeves.
"With the lessons learned from Uncle Xie and Uncle Yao, it is normal for ministers to have such suspicions." Rong Zhan took a sip of tea, "We all know that the emperor does not have a habit of cutting off his sleeves, so we are not worried, but no one has I didn’t expect that the emperor’s brother would already have a girl he likes.”
When they all found out, Miss Fu already had a child in her belly. The whole Fu family was furious and interrogated her all night long as to who was the evil one in her belly.
Fu Dange was as tight-lipped as a clam shell, and her father threatened to expel her from the house on the grounds that it was "disgraceful to the family tradition," but he could not make her compromise.
Fortunately, my brother defended him and promised to find out who the "wild man" was, so the storm was temporarily calmed down.
"All shocking things are actually just outrageous when they first happen. As time goes by, everyone accepts the facts and the storm calms down." Rong Zhan frowned, "But rumors are definitely inevitable. I think Miss Fu is a gentle and virtuous woman, but her temperament is a little different from other women. She is too stubborn. Over the years, she has tried everything she needs to persuade and thought of all the ways she should. Even her brother Fu Danqing has tried to persuade her every time. , the Fu family almost knelt down to beg her with threats and inducements, but she just refused to nod. "
Chu Qinghuang frowned: "Brother, the king of a country wants to make her his queen. Isn't it just a matter of imperial edict?"
"Miss Fu said that as long as the emperor forces her to enter the palace, she will commit suicide."
Chu Qinghuang fell silent. She was really a fierce woman. This kind of temper was rare among noble girls from aristocratic families.
"Does she dislike Brother Huang?"
Rong Zhan sighed: "On the contrary, she loves the emperor so much that she would die for him."
Chu Qinghuang was completely speechless.
Since they are in love, why are they so stubborn in insisting not to enter the harem?
Before Chu Qinghuang entered the palace, she decided to meet this woman first. Her curiosity had been completely aroused by this Miss Fu. Besides, it was related to the marriage of the emperor's brother, so it was normal for her sister to be concerned.
Just think of it as a meeting gift from her to the royal brother.
"Second Imperial Brother, please arrange for me to go to the Fu family." Chu Qinghuang looked at Rong Zhan, "This matter is not trivial. The Imperial Brother is the emperor, but he allows his girl to give birth to a child without any name or status, and has to endure it for so many years. Criticism, neither my father nor my mother will sit idly by and ignore this matter."
Rong Zhan nodded: "If my sister really has a way to resolve this matter before my father arrives at Dongling, my brother will be grateful to you for the rest of his life."
Chu Qinghuang glanced at him sideways: "What are you talking about?"
We are all a family, so what do we do outside?
So Chu Qinghuang took Fucang to the Fu family first. Fu Danqing was in the palace at this time, so it was obviously inappropriate for Rong Zhan to ask to see Miss Fu.
Chu Qinghuang was unfamiliar again and worried that Mrs. Fu would be wary, so Rong Zhan gave Chu Qinghuang a token: "Generally, when female guests come to the door, Mrs. Fu will receive them. My sister can just say that she is a good friend of Miss Fu. With this She didn’t dare to ask more about the token.”
Chu Qinghuang nodded, took the token, got off the horse, and turned to look at Fucang: "You and your second brother can wait for me outside."
Fucang was silent for a moment: "Yes."
