Chapter 122: Fu Heng gets married according to imperial decree; late at night, he has a drunken conv
Fu Heng's expression remained indifferent, showing no emotion.
"She is Shupin's sister. She will definitely not let you suffer any loss. Your sister has seen her before, but your marriage has been delayed since she left."
Fu Heng nodded: "Everything is subject to the emperor's arrangements."
"Okay, then I will issue an order allowing you to get married."
"I have also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the date. The sixteenth of next month is a good date."
Fu Heng nodded.
Li Yu escorted him out of the Yangxin Palace and said, "I, your servant, would like to congratulate you."
"Thank you, Eunuch Li. Please stay."
Li Yu bowed his head and said, "Take care."
Later, the imperial edict arrived at Fucha Mansion.
Li Rongbao felt mixed emotions when he looked at the imperial edict. This marriage would be of some benefit to Fu Heng's career.
However, Nalan Yongkang died at the age of 30. His wife, Guan Sibai, was of the Suwan Guwalgiya clan. She was the daughter of Ahantai, the deputy commander of the Han army of the Plain Yellow Banner, and the mother of Hongli's concubine Yihuan.
As soon as Fu Heng came back, he locked himself in the study and refused to see anyone.
Mrs. Fucha was busy with her work, but whenever she had some free time, she would find fault with Li Rongbao. Li Rongbao was so annoyed by her that he simply stopped going home.
When Hong Zhou heard the news that Fu Heng was going to get married, he ran over with a jar of wine that night.
This time Fu Heng did not drive Hong Zhou away because he was also unhappy.
Hong Zhou poured him a glass of wine and said, "Your brows are furrowed like a lump of iron. Don't you like the woman that the emperor chose for you?"
Fu Heng shook his head, unable to describe how he felt right now.
"I've heard that Yehenara Tang'er is a beauty, with stunning looks that can captivate a country, and she's well-educated and well-mannered. You two are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman." Hong Zhou said to him while pouring wine.
Fu Heng said lightly, "Oh."
"Oh? What's your reaction? She's going to be your legitimate wife and live with you forever."
Fu Heng sighed, "I know, but we haven't even met each other. Isn't it unfair to her to get married like this?"
Hong Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Whose marriage isn't like this?"
"Don't worry, your brother will not harm you. Besides, she has met the late queen before and she praised her highly. Your marriage is destined."
Fu Heng drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then drank three or four more glasses in a row, feeling more and more melancholy.
"Don't you think it's good for me to get married? I have someone to take care of the palace and give birth to children for me. What else can I ask for?"
Fu Heng smiled and said, "You are lucky."
Hong Zhou advised him: "It depends on what you think. No matter who you marry, you have to live your life anyway, and you can cultivate feelings slowly."
Fu Heng was not as open-minded as him. He just felt that it was disrespectful to Yehenara Tang'er.
He patted Fu Heng's shoulder and said, "Hey, why are you so worried? Let's talk about it later. Let's drink first."
The two drank all night, and until the next morning, Qinglian came in and saw that they were still asleep, so she asked someone to carry them to bed.
Qinglian stayed by Fuheng's side, fearing that something might happen to him, but luckily he was just drunk and fell asleep.
Mrs. Fucha couldn't help but mutter that Fuheng was a little ungrateful. It was obviously a good marriage, but he treated it with such an indifferent attitude.
After talking for a long time, Fu Heng did not show up. Instead, the maid Qinglian came out and told her that the young master was still drunk and had not yet woken up.
