Chapter 106 The Shield Concubine 46
Chapter 106 The Shield Concubine 46
Now, listening to Fu Rong's complaints to Empress Dowager Xu, Xu Huaiqian just pinched the pastries and did not respond.
Xu Huaiqian has been extremely intelligent since he was a child.
When he was young, he stood out and became the prince's companion, and later he became an official in the court through the imperial examination.
He refused to accept the family's favor and chose to be sent abroad based on his own achievements. It can be seen that he is not an ordinary nobleman.
Even if he was not Empress Dowager Xu's nephew, with his talent and ability, it was only a matter of time before he became a high-ranking official.
These years of experience abroad have made him more mature and stable.
Fu Rong was still complaining to Xu Huaiqian.
"My mother actually sent Ah Rou to the Liyuan Palace. Ah Rou has taken care of me wholeheartedly over the years. She has made no contributions but has worked hard. My mother is too cold."
At the beginning, Zeng Rou had always been by Fu Rong's side, doing everything for her personally, and she even wanted to tie Fu Rong to her belt.
But as he grew older, even though Xu Huaiqian had never touched a woman, he understood the importance of keeping a distance between men and women.
There are some things that Zeng Rou, as a woman, can no longer do. Even if Fu Rong needs to urinate, Zeng Rou has to serve her.
At that time, Xu Huaiqian noticed something strange.
Adhering to the principle that a subject should give honest advice, he reminded Fu Rong a few words.
But the effect was minimal, and the other party didn't listen at all.
He then reminded Zeng Rou, who burst into tears, causing Fu Rong to feel distressed.
At that time, Xu Huaiqian secretly swore, why should he do things that would make him unpopular among everyone?
You should learn to protect yourself first.
The reason why he chose to take the imperial examination and stay away from the palace was because he didn't want to get involved between Empress Dowager Xu and Fu Rong.
He came back now only because he could not disobey the emperor's order. He thought Fu Rong was already in power.
He thought he could show his skills when he returned to the capital, but he never expected that Zeng Rou would make Fu Rong return to her original form.
There was mockery in Xu Huaiqian's eyes, but his tone was still gentle.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is your mother after all. It is both moral and reasonable for you and the world."
"You shouldn't let other things affect your relationship as mother and son. The current situation is very bad for you. You shouldn't have a falling out with the Queen Mother."
Sometimes Xu Huaiqian is like a sobering drug, and just one sentence can make Fu Rong regain her sanity.
Originally, he wanted to fight Queen Mother Xu to the end, and even thought about starving himself to death to make Queen Mother Xu sad.
Now, facing Xu Huaiqian's persuasion, he couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing that Fu Rong took his words to heart.
Xu Huaiqian continued to analyze, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and even more so the ruler of the world."
"Your Majesty, instead of being petty with the Queen Mother, why don't you find a way to take back your own rights first? How can the Emperor not have everything he wants?"
Just a few simple words made Fu Rong figure it out.
The reason why I am now being checked and balanced by Empress Dowager Xu is simply because I have no ability. If I were in power, I could easily let Zeng Rou return to the palace.
Fu Rong nodded lightly and said in a relaxed voice, "Yes, if I had the power of life and death over the world, I could let Arou come back then."
Unexpectedly, Fu Rong's mind was still on Zeng Rou.
This made Xu Huaiqian frown slightly, and he couldn't help but think of Azhi he met today.
The other person was wearing a red dress and had a pretty face. Her eyes and eyebrows were full of charm but not vulgar.
He couldn't help but look at Fu Rong and asked, "I heard that your majesty already has a virtuous concubine, and the other party is the daughter of Master Yuan."
"Your Majesty is thinking about Aunt Zeng Rou in the Liyuan Palace, but have you ever thought about Consort Xian?"
"I have been in the palace for half a day and have heard about Concubine Xian's affairs. Your Majesty has placed Concubine Xian in the West Palace without regard for her dignity."
When Fu Rong heard Xu Huaiqian mention Azhi, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes.
Yes, I am sorry to Concubine Xian for abandoning her more than once.
The virtuous concubine had not visited him during this period of time, and even the tonic soup that she used to send to him every day was no longer seen.
Perhaps even Fu Rong himself did not realize that at the beginning he only felt repulsion towards Concubine Xian.
I just want to wait until things are settled, and then get this trouble out of the palace.
But now his thoughts have changed. He thought that if Ahzhi was willing to stay in the palace, he would ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing and live a safe and smooth life in the future since he was the emperor.
Fu Rong said with an evasive look, "I cannot give her all my love, and I owe her a lot. I will find a way to compensate her in the future. If that doesn't work, I will send her back to the Yuan family."
I heard the other party say that he wanted to send Azhi back to Yuan's house.
Xu Huaiqian asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, are you crazy? Concubine Xian is your concubine. You want to send her back to the Yuan family. Aren't you going to force her to death? She is your woman."
If a woman who has been touched by the emperor returns to her parents' home, who would dare to marry her?
This Fu Rong is too much of a joke.
Facing Xu Huaiqian's questioning.
Fu Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I have never touched Concubine Xian. If she is willing to return to the Yuan family, I will give her an extra dowry."
Xu Huaiqian was stunned at first.
I didn’t expect that Fu Rong had never touched Concubine Xian.
He said with a puzzled look on his face, "At that time, I heard about the incident of the virtuous concubine sleeping with me."
"I abandoned Concubine Xian twice. I am indeed sorry for her. If she is willing to live away from the palace, I hope you can help take care of her."
Looking at Fu Rong's face full of guilt, Xu Huaiqian felt that the tea in his hand no longer tasted fragrant.
Her husband left her for another woman.
This was undoubtedly extremely cruel, not to mention that Fu Rong had repeatedly lost face for Concubine Xian.
Xu Huaiqian took a deep breath and asked, "Your Majesty, is this for Aunt Zeng Rou?"
Facing the gaze of friends.
Fu Rong nodded gently.
Is the other party really suitable to be emperor?
Can Fu Rong become a wise ruler?
Xu Huaiqian originally thought that his meeting with Fu Rong was like a thousand-mile horse meeting a good horse trainer.
Your ambitions can be put to good use.
They can bring prosperity to the world.
However, for the sake of Zeng Rou, Fu Rong did not care about the daughter of an important official at all. She did not understand the constraints of the former court and the harem, and only cared about her own personal affairs.
Xu Huaiqian felt sad for himself.
I feel sad for the people of the world.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is the daughter of Grand Tutor Yuan. I hope you understand the importance of this matter."
Obviously Fu Rong didn't hear it, because his face was filled with sadness.
"Huai Qian, don't you understand me?"
This made Xu Huaiqian feel upset, and he really didn't know how to describe Fu Rong.
That's it.
Mind your own business and live two more years.
I saw that the other party couldn't listen to anything I said.
Xu Huaiqian changed the subject and talked about other things. Then the two of them seemed to be back in their childhood, chatting about things that the other had never heard of.
When I heard Xu Huaiqian talk about the interesting things he encountered in other places and the ordinary life of ordinary people.
Fu Rong's eyes were filled with envy and yearning.
"Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, hold your hand in the smoke from the kitchen, and be humble. This is so beautiful."
Compared to Fu Rong who was full of envy, Xu Huaiqian seemed not to care much.
He was accustomed to the people living and working in peace and contentment.
However, in order to make Fu Rong happy, I chose to only talk about the good side.
