Du Yuerou was brought in by the housekeeper, because the relationship between the Minister of Rites and the Duke of Zhen was quite good, not to mention that there were few officials in the capital who openly turned against each other. Of course, she knew that she probably shouldn't come this time.
, but as of now, she has no other choice.
The closed red door slowly opened in front of her. It was not the first time Du Yuerou came to the eldest princess's mansion, but this time her mood was hard to calm down. When she heard that Fu Heng had returned to the mansion today, she followed him without stopping, even if it was a fake
A lame excuse like giving a New Year gift.
Inside the room, Fu Heng stood up and said, "Since my mother has a female guest, it is inconvenient for my son to stay here for a long time."
The eldest princess nodded lightly.
Unfortunately, Fu Heng happened to bump into Du Yuerou when he was going out. At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun hit the side of Fu Heng's face, and she couldn't move her eyes away with just one look.
The world only said that the Commander of the Jin Yiwei Commander Liang Bo was ruthless, but they ignored that his appearance was the best. His eyes were deep, his nose was high, and his whole person was graceful and handsome. Therefore, even though he was famous,
There are still countless girls whose hearts are moved by him.
A few days ago, she had some kind of friendship with the eldest princess at home, and she was trying to please herself, so she coaxed the eldest princess to let Fu Heng go out with her. In fact, that was the first time she and Fu Heng met, but...
From that moment on, she thought to herself that if she could marry such a person, she would be willing to pay any price.
She looked at Fu Heng and bent her knees with great restraint, "The prince is well."
Fu Heng's father is a hereditary Duke of Zhen Guo, and Duke Zhen Guo Fu Lian has only one son. Therefore, Fu Heng will not only receive a first-class official title, but also a title in the future.
Fu Heng's expression was cold, his eyes just turned to her lightly, as if he responded.
Du Yuerou turned around to look again, and only his back was left.
She bit her lip. Even though she was famous in Beijing and boasted that she was well-versed in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, she still felt that she was a head shorter when facing Fu Heng.
The housekeeper led her into the eldest princess's yard, and she didn't know what the two said. Anyway, when she came out again, Du Yuerou's face didn't look good.
She turned pale and pleaded: "I know there is no hope, but... I just want to say a few words to Mr. Fu one last time."
The eldest princess, no matter how protective of her shortcomings, couldn't bear to say harsh words when she saw the girl was so sad, so she nodded in agreement.
Du Yuerou went straight towards Fu Heng's study.
She quickly walked to his study, then gently knocked on the door: "Is the prince here?"
After waiting for a long time, she knocked again and again but no one came to open the door. She knew in her heart that Fu Heng had obviously refused. But the more this happened, the more unwilling she became. What is wrong with me, Du Yuerou?
You look down upon me like this.
After waiting for a while, Fu Heng stood up and opened the door helplessly, but did not lead her in. Instead, he said, "Miss Du, is there something wrong?"
Du Yuerou looked at him, full of words and unable to speak.
She blinked her eyes, and her eyes turned red before she opened her mouth. She choked and said, "I wonder what my little girl did to make the prince so displeased."
Fu Heng stared at her, the emotion in his eyes difficult to distinguish: "No, Miss Du hasn't left the cabinet yet, so men and women are on guard."
Du Yuerou was speechless for a moment. He was talking about the defense between men and women. Then he thought of Miss Jiang at the winter banquet that day, and her tone became sharp involuntarily: "But the Master and that Miss Jiang are not like this."
As soon as she said it, she screamed in her heart that she actually said all these words. She secretly blamed herself for not speaking carefully, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty...I mean..."
"No need."
She saw that Fu Heng's face had completely turned cold, and he slowly said: "Miss Du, please be careful. After the new year, the portrait selected by the Holy Lord will be handed in. Instead of being here with me, Miss Du
Instead of being entangled, it is better to think about your future."
The wind in winter always carries a chill, but Du Yuerou's heart is even colder than this coldness. She watched the door being closed in front of her and couldn't help but shiver in her heart.
.
I thought I could be on friendly terms with this person, but I didn't expect him to be so indifferent.
After Du Yuerou left, Fu Heng sat at the table and flipped through the files. When he raised his hand, two guards in golden clothes fell from the beam calmly.
"master."
Although these two people are also Jin Yiwei, what they do is different from ordinary Jin Yiwei. They mainly follow Fu Heng's orders and investigate things that are not easy to expose. It is because of this that there are rumors about Jin Yiwei.
Zhongcai is often associated with the word mystery.
"Has anything happened in the offices of officials in the capital recently?"
Jin Yiwei pondered for a moment and replied: "It sounds like it is the same as usual, but there is some movement from the Du family."
Needless to say, Fu Heng knew about this movement.
Jin Yiwei said: "Miss Du family is extremely unwilling to enter the palace for the draft. She has been on a hunger strike for two days before today. She even hopes that Du Shangshu will come to the eldest princess in person."
This is a fool's dream.
Not to mention whether Fu Heng likes her or not, just based on their background, it is impossible for the two of them to be together. Mr. Du is the Minister of Etiquette. He is usually very smooth and does not offend anyone. His relationship with the eldest princess is not bad.
Yes, but all this was before Mr. Du took the initiative to marry his legitimate daughter to Prince Ping.
In the struggle for power, a little carelessness will lead to an abyss.
As we all know, Prince Ping and Prince An are the most fiercely fighting princes in the court. The attitude of the eldest princess is unclear. Fu Heng is in charge of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei is different from other positions. This institution belongs directly to the emperor. He cannot show political leanings, otherwise he will
It's disloyal.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Emperor is now older, and sooner or later the world will be handed over to the next generation.
Therefore, Fu Heng is not too young now, but neither the eldest princess nor the Duke of Zhen has made too much pressure on his marriage. It would be okay if he took the wrong side, but it would be a disaster if he took the wrong side.
Du Yuerou, on the other hand, had no choice from the beginning. She was born as the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and she had to live with this identity. No matter who she was in love with, as long as the interests behind the Shangshu Mansion and that person were conflicting.
, she has to choose to marry someone she doesn't love.
"Besides that, there is another thing that is a bit strange...the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family of Marquis Pingxuan seems to have gotten closer to Prince An recently."
"Marquis Pingxuan?" Fu Heng thought of the girl he saw on the street that day. She had forgotten what she looked like. Marquis Pingxuan was considered a clean and neutral faction in the court, mainly relying on this hereditary title, but he was born
After giving birth to a good son, Jiang Hu is now a popular upstart general in the court, and there are still many people watching him behind his back.
"anything else?"
"It's the same daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. My subordinates found out that she seems to be a little curious about the new work of our Beizhen Fusi."
