Chapter 319 Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Clan
Southern Dynasties, Taimiao.
There was a heavy snow yesterday, and the yellow glazed tile roof was covered with a layer of white.
The sun is shining brightly in the morning, which seems to confirm that today is a good day.
Passing through three gates in the courtyard wall is the Taimiao.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already been waiting with the royal jade edict in their hands.
The emperor and empress were standing in front, wearing complicated palace costumes, one had a sullen expression, and the other had a smiling face.
Report to the ancestors, read the imperial edict, and change the name to be entered into the Jade Book.
From then on, Lu Yuan changed his name to Fu Jinyuan.
Queen Ruan looked at Fu Jinyuan, who was wearing a black robe embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon. He had a handsome and dignified face, a calm temperament, and clear and calm eyes.
Although he looked like Emperor Fu, he was completely different from his biological father.
"Brother!" Fu Jinyi came to Fu Jinyuan with a smile on his face.
Fu Jinyuan was actually a little uncomfortable with this. He missed Shen Suian who was in Shangjing City.
"Is it time to bring my sister-in-law back?" Fu Jinyi blinked. Since his eldest brother has become the Prince of Chen, the princess has also returned.
Emperor Fu said coldly, "You are already a prince of the Southern Dynasty, how can you marry a woman from the Yong Dynasty as your princess?"
"I will arrange a new marriage for you and choose a noble lady from the Southern Dynasty to be your princess."
The smile on Queen Ruan's lips cooled, and she looked at Emperor Fu with eyes as cold as water.
"My son has just returned to his roots, and you can't wait to make him a shameless person who betrays his wife and abandons her?"
"Empress, I just feel that the women of the Yong Dynasty are not worthy of him." Emperor Fu gritted his teeth.
He felt that the Queen's words "shameless" were an insult to him.
Fu Jinyuan's face was cold and he treated Fu Di's words as nonsense.
"Ms. Shen is a lady of a famous family. She married the poor Prince Chen without any disgust. Now the Emperor is teaching his son to be heartless and disloyal. Do you want him to be scolded by the people of the world, or do you want him to be taught by example?" Queen Ruan asked coldly.
Emperor Fu was furious: "Queen, you are so outrageous!"
The palace maids around knelt on the ground.
Queen Ruan bowed and said, "I apologize for my crime."
Is this the attitude of confessing guilt?
"Empress, the Emperor is actually thinking about Prince Chen. After all, this is the Southern Dynasty. If the prince can marry a noble lady from the Southern Dynasty, wouldn't it be more helpful?" Concubine Liu said in a low voice.
"Don't be angry with the emperor. The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently and is very tired."
After Emperor Fu heard Concubine Liu's words of concern for him, his expression finally softened a little.
As expected, only Concubine Liu has him in her heart, and Queen Ruan will only make him angry to death.
"Tomorrow my palace will choose a good marriage for the second prince, which will definitely benefit him greatly." Queen Ruan glanced at Concubine Liu with her phoenix eyes.
Concubine Liu's snow-white face turned even paler, and she looked at Emperor Fu with grievance.
Emperor Fu gave her a soothing look in return. Without his nod, the Queen would not be able to arrange a marriage for the Second Prince.
Fu Yuxuan stepped forward and held Concubine Liu's hand, signaling her not to interrupt easily at this time, so as not to get into trouble.
"Prince Chen, don't listen to your mother's womanizing opinions. What do you think?" Emperor Fu turned to look at Fu Jinyuan.
He felt that if Prince Chen was smart enough, he would definitely choose a noble lady from the Southern Dynasty. Although he was a prince now, he had always grown up in the Yong Dynasty. Even though there was the Ruan family in the Southern Dynasty, he was not the only nephew in the Ruan family.
Choosing a wife's family that can help him consolidate his position is his best option.
"I will not demote my wife to a concubine. I will only have Shen as my wife in this life." Fu Jinyuan had a blank expression on his face.
If the other party was not his biological father and the emperor, Fu Jinyuan would have turned around and left as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.
Emperor Fu frowned, "Don't be ungrateful. I have chosen for you one of the most famous and noble ladies. She is much more noble than the women you have seen in Yong Dynasty."
Empress Ruan sneered, "She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family and the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yong Dynasty, Shen Lao. How can she be so unworthy of mention in the mouth of the emperor?"
"I still remember that the late emperor had invited Prime Minister Shen to teach him many times."
Emperor Fu's face froze and he looked at Fu Jinyuan in surprise.
He had not cared about Fu Jinyuan's affairs in the Yong Dynasty before, so he didn't know who his wife was. He only knew that it was a marriage granted by the Emperor of the Yong Dynasty. As a bastard of the Lu family, what kind of good family could he be married into?
"No matter how noble the Shen family is in the Yong Dynasty, what use is it in the Southern Dynasty?" He Zhiyuan said lightly.
Emperor Fu seemed to be reminded by him, and his face darkened again.
If Prince Chen marries the woman granted marriage by the Emperor of the Yong Dynasty, the Yong Dynasty might take the opportunity to stir up trouble in the Southern Dynasty in the future.
"In this case, I can let Shen be your concubine. As for the principal wife, she must not be a woman from the Yong Dynasty." Emperor Fu said in a deep voice. This was his concession.
"You are now a prince of the Southern Dynasty. Although we have an alliance with the Yong Dynasty, your legitimate children must be the orthodox of the Southern Dynasty. In short..."
Fu Jinyuan: "How does the emperor treat his illegitimate son?"
"Except for the queen mother, are all the other concubines in the harem from noble families? If they are not from noble families, can they not give birth to a prince for you?"
"..." Emperor Fu was choked.
Concubine Liu was of humble origins. She helped Emperor Fu when he was in trouble during his incognito tour. Emperor Fu fell in love with Concubine Liu at first sight.
He Zhiyuan: "Prince Chen, do you still want to be the master of the emperor's harem?"
"I don't dare to be the master of the emperor's harem, but you, He Zhiyuan, seem to want to be the master of my affairs." Fu Jinyuan asked coldly.
"Brother, you just came to the Southern Dynasty and may not know Lord He." Fu Jinyi whispered.
"Lord He has not married yet. He doesn't understand the principle that husband and wife are birds of the same forest. Don't blame him."
Fu Jinyuan nodded indifferently, "I'm sorry, Master He, I didn't mean to discriminate against you. I didn't know your preferences were different from others."
"..." He Zhiyuan's face darkened, "I don't have any preferences that are different from others."
Queen Ruan: "I will select two handsome young eunuchs to serve you."
Emperor Fu recalled Queen Ruan's ridicule of his unclear relationship with He Zhiyuan. He was afraid that the Queen would say something outrageous about their secret affair, so he said in a cold voice:
"I will choose the best candidate for Prince Chen's princess. As for the one from Yong Dynasty, I will send someone to bring her back. She can only be Prince Chen's concubine."
After saying this, he left without waiting for Queen Ruan to speak.
Concubine Liu and Fu Yuxuan hurriedly followed.
He Zhiyuan had a leg injury and could not walk properly, so he had to be supported by someone and sit in a wheelchair.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." He Zhiyuan curled his lips and bowed.
Queen Ruan looked down at him coldly, "He Zhiyuan, I thought you injured your leg, but I didn't expect that you injured your brain as well."
The Emperor suddenly proposed today that Prince Chen marry a noblewoman from the Southern Dynasty. This was most likely due to He Zhiyuan's conspiracy.
Do they think that if the Prince of Chen marries a noble lady that the Emperor is pleased with, they can control the Prince of Chen?
ridiculous!
