Chapter 113 Madam Fucha
Chapter 113 Madam Fucha
Wei Yingluo quietly watched him wolfing down his food and couldn't help but sigh softly in frustration.
She thought silently in her heart that he was actually a man with a tragic life and pitiful fate.
I don’t know if in this life, if I could help him untie the knots and problems buried deep in his heart earlier, would the outcome between them be different, and would his fate be changed.
After eating half a steamed bun, Wei Yingluo took out three steamed buns wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed them to Yuan Chunwang. She knew that Yuan Chunwang would most likely not accept them, but she brought them anyway.
Sure enough, although Yuan Chunwang was extremely eager to eat a few more steamed buns, his reason told him that based on the intelligence of the woman in front of him, she must have come to him for no reason.
Yuan Chunwang turned his head and walked away quickly. Only after he was far away did he whisper, "Thank you."
Wei Yingluo didn't hear the "thank you". She just looked at Yuan Chunwang's back, sighed, carefully put the steamed buns in the bucket, and left.
Early the next morning, the news that Concubine Yu was pregnant reached Concubine Gao's ears. She was so angry that she smashed a whole set of expensive tea sets and then summoned Er Qing.
The two began to plan how to deal with Concubine Yu's child... Concubine Gao urged Erqing to solve the matter first, and it would not be too late to take action against Wei Yingluo later.
"Yes, I understand. The matter of Wei Yingluo and Concubine Yu... can kill two birds with one stone." Er Qing smiled slightly and leaned close to Concubine Gao's ear to explain the plan in detail.
The depressed mood in Concubine Gao's heart slowly dissipated. She nodded with satisfaction and signaled Zhilan to give the remaining breakfast to Erqing.
Then he continued, "Qing, promise. If this is really done, I will ensure that your East Side Palace will be comfortable. You can also meet the emperor if you want."
Although Er Qing was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, she pretended to be grateful and nodded repeatedly to Concubine Gao.
She pretended to be excited and took the meal back to the east side hall, but in her heart she was thinking viciously, "Humph, Concubine Gao, don't be too proud too soon. If you climb high, you will fall hard. One day you will fall to your death."
It was a clear and sunny day.
Normally, Wei Yingluo, who is always fearless, became at a loss in an instant, like a frightened little rabbit, when she heard the news that Madam Fucha Jueluo (the mother of the Queen and Fu Heng) had arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace.
She was flustered and at a loss, and just wanted to find a place to hide.
Just then, Mingyu happened to pass by and noticed something unusual about Wei Yingluo at a glance.
She walked forward curiously, reached out to hold Wei Yingluo, trying to calm her down, and asked, "Yingluo, what are you afraid of?" Mingyu's voice was loud and her tone was full of doubt.
Wei Yingluo came to her senses after being called by Mingyu, and hurriedly tried to break free from Mingyu's hand, "Mingyu, I told you, but you still don't understand."
At this moment, Mrs. Fucha, who had just stepped into the Changchun Palace, heard Mingyu's call. She turned around and looked at Wei Yingluo and Mingyu curiously.
Seeing this, Wei Yingluo and Mingyu hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted Mrs. Fucha. Wei Yingluo was filled with tension and anxiety, not knowing what would happen next.
Mrs. Fucha had always had a strong interest in Wei Yingluo and wanted to take a closer look at her appearance.
However, she finally suppressed her curiosity, just glanced around, smiled friendly, then turned and walked into the inner hall.
After entering the inner hall, Mrs. Fucha saluted the queen according to court etiquette.
The queen quickly stood up, personally helped Mrs. Fucha up, and said kindly: "No need to be polite, please sit down."
Then she waved her hand to signal the palace maids serving around her to leave first, leaving her and Madam Fucha alone to talk.
After Mingyu brought the tea, she quickly left the room and gently closed the door. However, she did not leave immediately, but carefully hid at the door and listened attentively to the movements inside.
"Mother, Rongyin misses you so much." Empress Fucha had not seen her mother for a long time. Since she married into the Forbidden City, she had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet her family, and her longing for her mother became stronger and stronger.
When she saw her mother at this moment, she couldn't stop crying.
Mrs. Fucha felt distressed when she saw her precious daughter who seemed to have lost some weight. She hugged Empress Fucha tightly in her arms, and the mother and daughter talked affectionately for a while.
Seeing that her mother was in a good mood, the queen handed her a cup of tea and asked softly, "Mother, what do you think of Fu Heng's marriage?"
Mrs. Fucha was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Your father felt that the Wei family was too low-class and was worried that they would not be able to help your brother in the officialdom in the future...
Besides, Fu Heng is not young anymore, and he said he is still waiting for that girl? If he leaves the palace and gets married when he is 25, my mother will never agree to it!"
After saying that, he sighed deeply, his face full of worry.
"Mother, you don't have to worry. Don't we still have our daughter?" Empress Fucha held Madam Fucha's hand tightly, her eyes revealing tenderness and determination.
Mrs. Fucha raised her head, stared at her daughter in front of her, and listened attentively.
"My daughter will not let Yingluo leave the palace to get married at the age of 25. After the marriage between the two families is settled, the wedding date will be slowly finalized. I will never let you and father wait too long. If the betrothal gift is not decided now, it will take longer. When will you be able to hold your grandson?"
Empress Fucha gently patted the back of her mother's hand, expressing her views on the matter in a comforting way and assuring her mother.
Hearing this, Mrs. Fucha breathed a sigh of relief and she finally felt a little comforted.
In fact, Jueluo was very happy to accept this marriage.
After all, his son Fu Cha Fu Heng had been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, talented in both civil and military affairs, and handsome, and he always won the admiration of many women.
But when he reached the marriageable age, he had aversion to women. At his age, he didn't even have a concubine.
As a mother, Jueluo was deeply worried about this matter, fearing that her son might have a homosexual tendency.
However, now Fu Heng took the initiative to propose to marry Ying Luo, which undoubtedly made Jue Luo very excited. But unfortunately, her husband did not agree to this marriage, and Jue Luo could only sigh and express her helplessness.
Mrs. Fucha couldn't help but imagine that if she had the support of her daughter, she would be able to stand up straight and have a good talk with the stubborn "old man" at home.
