Fu Heng remembered what Xiayue had said in the Fubi Pavilion before, secretly clenched his hands tightly, and said with a painful expression: "Wei Chen and A Luo...can't they really be together?" Seeing Hongli nod, he gritted his teeth.
Said: "If this is the case, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."
Hearing Fu Heng's words, Hongli suddenly remembered his experience of marrying Mingyu as his direct descendant. At first, Mingyu was deceived by Xianyue, thinking that he was frivolous to Xianyue, and was extremely disappointed in himself. He also forced himself to be responsible for Xianyue.
He knew clearly that it was Xianyue's plan, but for Mingyu's sake, he still accepted Xianyue as Fujin and married her into the house on the same day.
Back then, it was because of his love for Mingyu; today, the reason why Fu Heng repeatedly disobeyed himself and the queen, and was even willing to expel himself from the Fucha clan, was also because of his love for A Luo.
"Love doesn't know where it started, it goes deep." Hongli murmured the poem that Xianyue had recited that day. He looked at Fu Heng again with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. He pondered for a moment and said: "Do you want to be with me?"
It's not impossible for Luo Luo to be together, but she can't be your legitimate wife, do you understand?"
Fu Heng's pupils narrowed and he said: "What does the emperor mean...as a concubine?"
Hongli nodded and said: "Yes, considering A Luo's background and age, becoming a concubine should be the best way. A Luo's background will not be so criticized." Seeing that Fu Heng did not speak, he added:
"You don't have to feel wronged, A Luo. Even if you are a concubine, A Luo has already reached a high level. Besides, for the two of you, being able to be together is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Fu Heng had never thought about making A Luo his concubine. Now after hearing Hongli's words, he was extremely hesitant. He could abandon his identity as a noble son and be with A Luo, but he was not qualified to let A Luo suffer with him.
Not to mention that there was Mingyu among them. Based on her attitude just now, she would never allow herself to marry Ah Luo.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Will the Queen agree?"
"I will convince her, but in exchange..." Hongli pointed to the scrolls and said, "You must choose a direct descendant from among them."
A trace of sadness flashed across Fu Heng's eyes, and he nodded: "Wei Chen... obey the order!"
Hongli did not speak, only stared at Fu Heng. The latter understood what he meant, casually took a scroll, presented it to Hongli with both hands, and whispered: "Wei Chen chose her as his direct descendant."
Hongli took the scroll and said: "Okay, you can go back. I will send it to you after discussing with the queen."
After Fu Heng left as instructed, Hongli turned around and entered the inner hall. Mingyu was sitting in a chair and sulking. When he saw Hongli coming in, he asked, "Is he still stubborn about marrying A Luo as his wife?"
?”
Hongli said deliberately: "Yes, he told me that if he cannot marry Aluo as his wife, he would rather never marry her for the rest of his life."
Mingyu said angrily: "This Fu Heng is really crazy. The emperor and the concubine took turns trying to persuade him, but they couldn't even listen to a word." After saying this, she said again: "No, I want to write a book for Amma and Ame.
Mother, please come to Beijing immediately and make sure Fu Heng is awakened."
Mingyu was about to order the palace servants to get the Four Treasures of the Study. Hongli said with a smile: "I'm joking with you. I have already convinced Fu Heng, and he has also chosen the candidate who is the direct descendant of Fujin."
"Seriously?" Mingyu looked at Hongli dubiously, fearing that he was lying to her.
Hongli handed the scroll to her and said: "Of course it is true. Here, this is it. Take a look for yourself."
Mingyu took the scroll and looked at it carefully and said: "Jueluo Xilin, the daughter of the censor Eli."
"Well, although E Li's official position is not high, he is the younger brother of Er Tai, so it is appropriate for him to be paired with Fu Heng. And I heard that Luo Xilin has both talent and appearance, which is very good."
Mingyu nodded and said: "Then this is the Jueluo Xilin family. Please ask the emperor to issue a decree for marriage as soon as possible, so that Fu Heng's thoughts about A Luo can be ended as soon as possible."
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "Mingyu, the reason why Fu Heng is willing to choose Jueluo Xilin as his direct descendant is because I promised him a condition. Let him... take Aluo as his concubine!"
Mingyu's face changed suddenly, she stood up and said, "What? Take A'luo as my concubine?" Before Hongli could speak, she shook her head and said, "No, I don't agree!"
Hongli expected that she would object, so he lowered his voice and persuaded: "Mingyu, it's just a concubine. It will not affect Fu Heng's future or the reputation of the Fucha family."
Mingyu said resolutely: "No, A Luo is not qualified whether it is a direct wife or a concubine."
"I can see that Fu Heng really likes A Luo, and Fu Heng is also willing to listen to you and choose a famous lady as his direct descendant. Why don't we make it happen for him?"
Mingyu hated Xiayue's master and servant so much that she refused to let go, "I can accomplish all other things, but not this matter."
"Mingyu, I know you don't like A Luo, but do you really want Fu Heng to remain unmarried for the rest of his life?"
Mingyu said flatly: "No, Fu Heng was just temporarily confused by A Luo. As time goes by, he will naturally wake up and realize that his persistence today is wrong."
Hongli said: "What if I'm not temporarily confused, but I really like him? Wouldn't that be harmful to Fu Heng?" After a moment, he added: "In addition, apart from being of humble origin and being a little older, A Luo has no other characteristics.
Nothing bad about it.”
"Has your Majesty forgotten how A Luo insulted my concubine back in Cining Palace? She dared to scold me and did not dare to do anything. Moreover, I dare to assert that this matter must be
Concubine Xian’s master and servant’s plot is to marry A Luo to the Fucha clan and even control Fu Heng.”
"Where are you thinking? How could Concubine Xian do such a thing?" Before Hongli finished speaking, Mingyu said excitedly: "I am not a fantasy. If Concubine Xian hadn't arranged it and A Luo deliberately seduced him, how could Fu Heng have done it?
I met A Luo by chance and even fell in love with A Luo."
Hearing this, Hongli hesitated for a moment, but soon smiled and said: "I believe Concubine Xian would not do such a thing."
Faced with his smile and denial, Mingyu was extremely excited, "The emperor believes in Concubine Xian, does that mean he doesn't believe in me?" At this point, she sneered: "I didn't expect that in the heart of the emperor, I am not as good as me.
Concubine Xian is trustworthy."
Hongli endured the unhappiness in his heart and said warmly: "When did I say such a thing? I just think that Concubine Xian will not let A Luo seduce Fu Heng. Besides, Fu Heng has a firm mind and is not someone who is easily tempted. He is sincere."
If you like A Luo, instead of being against them blindly, why not help them and get the best of both worlds."
Mingyu bit her lip lightly and said coldly: "I said that A Luo will never step into the Fucha family in this life unless I die!"
"Queen!" Hongli said in a more serious tone: "Fu Heng has already given in, why do you bother to press him every step of the way? He is your biological brother after all. Do you really want to force him to never marry for the rest of his life?"
Mingyu said stubbornly: "I am doing this for his own good. Given time, he will definitely understand."
