The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 341: Pampering the Child, Princess Marriage

"Oh, Fuzhen wants something, but your mother won't give it to you? Tell Ama, and Ama will give it to you."

The emperor looked at his eldest son in his arms, who was obviously unhappy, and said lovingly.

"Your Majesty, this child should not be spoiled too much. I am deliberately letting him know that everything does not revolve around him alone, and he cannot get everything he wants. Rather than letting others reject him, it is better for me to teach him this lesson first."

Fu Cha Zhixi shook his head at the emperor with some disapproval.

"Xi'er, our child is naturally different from others. Just give him whatever he wants. There is nothing in this world that I cannot give him."

The emperor looked at Xier with a serious face. He did not expect that Xier, who was usually gentle, was actually a strict mother.

"Your Majesty always spoils him like this, I don't care anymore."

Fu Cha Zhixi pretended to be angry and turned away without even looking at the father and son.

"Xi'er, that's not what I meant. It's good for you to teach the child carefully. I just can't bear to reject the child."

When the emperor saw that Fu Cha Zhixi was angry, he quickly started to coax her.

"In my eyes, the emperor is a man of integrity, so I don't want our child to become a useless playboy. I hope he can become a useful person and be 80% like the emperor."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the emperor sincerely and spoke.

"I understand your painstaking efforts. It's my fault. I won't do this again in the future."

The emperor felt quite relieved after hearing what Fucha Zhixi said. He smiled, put his arm around Fucha Zhixi's shoulders, and spoke softly.

"I was too anxious just now, so my tone was a little bad. I was also wrong."

Fu Cha Zhixi naturally came down the emperor's steps.

"Don't worry, our child will definitely have a bright future and will definitely be more powerful than me."

The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi meaningfully and said.

"Your Majesty Jin An."

"Everyone, get up."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling the concubines to stand up.

"Your Majesty, how come you have time to come here today? What's the matter?"

The queen looked at the emperor who rarely came at this time and asked curiously.

"This morning, the Dzungars sent someone to ask me for a marriage, asking for their Yingge Khan to marry a Qing princess to appease the hearts of the border residents."

The emperor's face showed no emotion, and he spoke in a calm tone.

"Marriages between princesses of the Celestial Empire are common. All we have to do is choose a suitable girl from among the clan leaders to marry. This is not too much trouble."

The queen smiled and took over the conversation.

"It's not difficult, but this time they specifically asked me to marry a princess who is my own, not a member of the royal family. But I don't have a princess of the right age to marry."

The emperor frowned and spoke.

After these words were spoken, Fu Cha Zhixi clearly felt that Concubine Jing was getting nervous.

She gave the other person a reassuring look. She naturally understood that Concubine Jing was worried that her Wen Yi would be sent to marry a foreign prince.

Concubine Jing met Fu Cha Zhixi's kind eyes and forced a smile.

She could naturally understand this logic, but after all, this matter involved her own child, so she naturally couldn't suppress her worry.

Wen Yi was raised in her care. With Wen Yi's company, the boring days in the palace became interesting.

How could she bear to see Wen Yi, the boy she raised, being sent to such a remote place? Wouldn't that be like tearing out her own flesh and blood?

"The Junggars are just a frontier tribe, yet they are so audacious as to ask the emperor to marry their own princess. The Qing dynasty is already giving them great face by marrying a princess to them, but they are still shameless and greedy. It is really despicable."

Shen Meizhuang didn't care whether the emperor looked good or not. She was just very angry that Junggar was so shameless and insisted on having his own princess.

You know, although she has become cold towards the emperor now, she has not given up on giving birth to a child of her own. If she gave birth to a princess in the future and encountered such a thing, she would never be able to accept it.

When the emperor listened to Huipin's words, although he did not show any expression on his face, he agreed with Huipin's words in his heart.

But in this situation, he had no other choice.

He will definitely retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold in the future for the humiliation he suffered today.

"The marriage alliances were all made with women from the royal family. The late emperor married his own daughter, Princess Lanqi, to the Junggars, which gave them great face. Now they are asking the emperor for a princess again."

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor angrily and said.

"It is precisely because of this precedent that I cannot refuse the other party's request."

The emperor couldn't help but sigh. If the Qing Dynasty was stronger, why would he accept the other party's insatiable demands?

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are legitimate relatives or not, but the Qing Dynasty cannot afford to start another war, so he can only accept the other party’s conditions.

"Your Majesty, Wen Yi is still so young that she cannot be sent to marry."

Although Concubine Jing knew that Wen Yi was too young to be sent to marry, she could not feel at ease until she got a clear word from the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wen Yi is still a child, how can she bear the responsibility of marrying into a foreign alliance?"

As Wen Yi's biological mother, Concubine Cao naturally could not remain silent. She was also afraid that the emperor would be so cruel as to choose Wen Yi as his wife.

After all, what the other party wants is not a princess, but an attitude of the Qing Dynasty, so there is no guarantee that the emperor will do this.

"If Wen Yi was old enough, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

The emperor looked at Cao Qinmo with displeasure and said.

After hearing this answer, Concubine Jing's anxiety not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

You have to know that once these words were spoken, it proved that the emperor did intend to send Wen Yi to marry, but was only hindered by her young age.

If this happens again when Wen Yi grows up, I'm afraid Wen Yi will not be able to escape it.

She had to find a good backer for her Wen Yi, and the best backer was the next emperor.

When Concubine Jing thought of this, her eyes shifted to Fucha Zhixi.

At present, Concubine Xuan's Sixth Prince seems to be the most likely candidate. Fortunately, he has a good relationship with Concubine Xuan now, and he will have to get closer to her in the future.

Upon seeing this, the Queen took the initiative to propose Princess Chao Gui as a candidate, giving the Emperor a suitable way out.

After all, the candidate had been decided long ago, but he didn't want to appear too cold-blooded, so he had to let others propose the candidate.

So when the queen mentioned this, the emperor agreed.

When he was about to let the queen take care of the matter, Fucha Zhixi spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is too tired to do this. Please leave this matter to me and Concubine Jing."
