Chapter 279: Ancient Emperor, Demoted
Fucha Fude failed to reject the emperor. He held the little Fuzhen in his arms with his stiff body.
"Your Majesty, the little prince looks so much like you. The ears are exactly the same."
Fucha Fude said in surprise.
After all, although he is married now, he and his wife have no children yet, so he is particularly close to this little nephew who is related to him by blood.
As expected of my sister's child, he is as cute and obedient as my sister was when she was a child.
"Of course. The Emperor is his father. If Fu Zhen looked exactly like me, wouldn't it be too feminine? She should inherit some of the Emperor's majesty."
Fu Cha Zhixi took over the conversation and spoke with a smile.
"Jing'an has sharp eyes. This little fellow's facial features are similar to Xi'er's, except for his ears which are similar to mine."
The emperor looked at the little person quietly in his arms with tender eyes, and his heart was softened.
"This is the first time I have met the little prince. I came here in a hurry and did not bring any gifts with me. This is the coming-of-age gift given to me by my father. I will give it to the little prince. I hope the little prince can grow up healthily and become the Barutu of our Qing Dynasty."
As he said this, Fu Cha Fu De took off the jade ring from his finger and placed it on Fu Zhen's little hand.
Fu Zhen subconsciously grabbed the small jade ring, and he felt a little more favorable towards his cheap uncle.
It is a rare opportunity for me to have such an adventure. In the future, I must exercise well and strive for the opportunity to go to the battlefield and conquer the country myself.
Since Fu Cha Zhixi often read to Fu Zhen the descriptions of various wise rulers in history books, little Fu Zhen was very concerned about his shortcomings in martial arts. After all, Li Shimin was able to fight and was even named General Tiance.
He did not think that he was much worse than the other party, so if he had another chance, he still hoped that he could be like the other party, able to fight thousands of miles away on horseback and govern the country in the court when he dismounted, and become an emperor of all ages without any shortcomings.
"Brother, isn't this your favorite ring?"
"You are willing to give it to Fu Zhen. If you give it to Fu Zhen, you can't take it back."
Fu Cha Zhixi didn't expect that her brother would be so generous and would give her such a precious ring without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, you have seen this, this Concubine Xuan used to bully me like this in the palace. Your Majesty, please take charge of this for me."
Fucha Fude raised his eyes and looked at the emperor for help.
"It's difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. Although Xi'er has entered the palace and become my concubine, she is still your sister. Don't involve your brother and sister in this."
The emperor reached out to take Xiao Fuzhen, smiled and looked at Fu Cha Fude and said.
He really liked the feeling of playing and laughing among family members, which was something he had once longed for but could never get.
"See? The Emperor won't help you."
Fucha Zhixi wrinkled his nose at Fucha Fude and spoke proudly.
"My queen, I have given you so many things since you were little. When will I return them?"
Fu Cha Fu De looked at his sister helplessly and spoke.
"That's right. You are the older brother after all. Being an older brother means you have to give in to your younger sister."
Fucha Zhixi smiled and looked at Fucha Fude and said.
Yikun Palace
"Your Majesty, good news. The father of this noble lady Wan was demoted to the fifth rank of Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate during the morning court session today."
Zhou Ninghai ran in hurriedly from outside and said.
"Go down."
Concubine Hua waved her hand proudly and spoke to Zhou Ninghai.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Wan is the most proud one among the newly promoted concubines except Concubine Xuan. Now that her father has been demoted, I am curious, how long can this Concubine Wan remain proud?"
"This Zhao Zhiyuan is a smart man. He lives up to the support of me and my brother. With just a hint, he knows what to do."
Concubine Hua was also very proud. This Concubine Wan had always loved to go against her. Now that she had lost the support of her family, she wondered how she would be able to hold her head up in the future.
"It seems that the importance of this Concubine Wan in the emperor's heart is not that important, otherwise why would the emperor punish Concubine Wan's father?"
Concubine Cao also spoke up in agreement.
"She's new and fresh. The emperor just doted on her a little more because he wanted to be fresh, so she became arrogant. Now she finally knows that it's not enough to have the emperor's favor in the harem. It's useless if she doesn't have a good family."
Concubine Hua is quite proud that she has a good family that not only can bring her support, but also can help her eliminate concubines she dislikes.
"That's right. How can this Concubine Wan compare to you, Your Majesty? Moreover, among the new concubines who entered the palace, the one who is most favored by the Emperor is Concubine Xuan. This Concubine Wan is just ranked behind her."
As soon as Concubine Cao said this, she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She subconsciously closed her mouth and looked at Concubine Hua cautiously.
"Humph, Concubine Xuan just has a good family background. Although the Fucha family has a deep foundation, my Nian family is not inferior at all."
"She was able to climb to this position now only because she was lucky. She became pregnant with the emperor's child after serving him for a month or two, and it happened to be a prince, so the emperor gave her the title of concubine."
No matter how much Concubine Hua tried to convince herself that she didn't care, she simply couldn't help being jealous that Fu Cha Zhixi was able to easily become pregnant with the emperor's child, while she herself didn't know how many bitter medicines she had drunk but still couldn't get pregnant.
"Yes, my lady, Concubine Xuan is just lucky."
"How can you compare to the fact that Your Highness has been deeply favored by the Emperor for many years? Moreover, even if Your Highness has no children, He has already made Her Highness the Hua Consort. If You have children in the future, Your Highness will probably be able to advance even further."
Upon seeing this, Concubine Cao quickly followed Concubine Hua's words and spoke in a flattering manner.
"The queen is already old and ugly. Moreover, she has no children and no strong support behind her. When I have children, that position will definitely belong to me."
There was a determined look in Concubine Hua's eyes. She had been coveting the position of Queen for a long time.
She is capable and resourceful, and is favored by the emperor. Apart from being the queen, how else is she better than the emperor?
These incompetent people can only give way to capable people like them.
"My lady, you don't know yet."
"The emperor has only met with Concubine Wan once in recent days. I think even if Concubine Wan wanted to beg for mercy for her father, she would not be able to do so."
Concubine Cao then spoke.
