Chapter 342: Helping out and asking for a famous article
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi, who took the initiative to take the task, with some surprise, and then readily agreed.
This isn't a big deal. Xier is already responsible for assisting the six palaces, so there's nothing wrong with handing it over to her.
Concubine Jing was a little puzzled as to why Fu Cha Zhixi would take the initiative to take on this matter and involve herself in it.
However, she already owed Concubine Xuan a favor, so she naturally would not offend her with such a small matter.
After paying her respects, Concubine Jing couldn't wait to come to Chengqian Palace.
After Fu Cha Zhixi had tea and snacks served to Concubine Jing, he sighed softly and said.
"Sister Jingfei must be very curious about why I insisted on taking on this matter."
"I really don't quite understand. Please enlighten me, sister."
Concubine Jing didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. She didn't say any polite words and asked the question in the same direct way.
"I feel a little sorry for Princess Chaogui. Although she is a royal daughter, her mother is not favored. If we don't take care of it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely not be too attentive when preparing for the wedding. So I took this matter on, hoping that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would do their best to prepare for Princess Chaogui and not be too perfunctory."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Concubine Jing with pity and spoke.
"I see. Princess Chaogui is indeed a pitiful person."
Concubine Jing also nodded in agreement.
Princess Chaogui was sent to such a remote place at such a young age. She would never be able to come back and would never see her mother again. How painful it was for her.
"She is just a princess. Her food, clothing and other expenses are not as good as those of the princes. But at this time, they have to sacrifice their lives."
"And the prince doesn't have to do anything. Even if he is a waste, he will still be supported by the entire dynasty. He doesn't need to pay any price, and he doesn't have to worry about being sent to marry a foreign prince one day."
It was rare for Fu Cha Zhixi to speak such words in front of Concubine Jing with some emotion.
"Who says it's not true? Although princesses of the royal family live better than ordinary women, they are not free from their own will."
"If the mother is favored, the princess' life will be better, and she will have the opportunity to find a good family to marry. But if she is not favored, she can only be sent to marry."
Concubine Jing also sighed deeply and said.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and will not let them treat Princess Chaogui's dowry perfunctorily."
"With your words, I can rest assured."
"Sister, if possible, I hope you can ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to spend more time preparing the dowry."
Fu Cha Zhixi leaned close to Concubine Jing's ear and whispered.
"why is that?"
Concubine Jing looked at Fucha Zhixi with some confusion.
"I heard that Yingge Khan will not be around for long, probably in one or two months. If Princess Chaogui waits for a while before marrying him, she can marry the next Khan and avoid the humiliation of having her father die and her son succeed her."
Fu Cha Zhixi explained in a low voice to Concubine Jing.
"Is this news reliable?"
Concubine Jing looked at Fucha Zhixi in shock. She didn't expect that the other party even knew such news. It seemed that the Fucha family was indeed very powerful.
You can call her a saint or a hypocrite.
After all, she was a girl who grew up under the red flag, so naturally she didn't want to see a young girl in her prime marry an old man.
Although she couldn't help her much, she could still help with this matter.
"Whether this news is true or not, it will only delay the wedding for a month or two. A princess' wedding should be grand anyway. If it is true, Princess Chaogui will feel better. If it is false, there is no harm. At least she can enjoy the happiness of her father for a while longer."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly, looked at Concubine Jing and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing nodded in agreement. What Concubine Xuan said was indeed correct. It was just a matter of waiting a little longer. It wouldn't cause any trouble.
Besides, she couldn't bear to see Princess Chao Gui suffer, and if she could help her, it would make her feel better.
Concubine Xuan is indeed a rare good person in this palace. If the Sixth Prince inherits the throne in the future, my Wen Yi should be able to find a good family instead of being sent to marry a foreign prince.
Concubine Jing became more and more determined that she must get closer to Concubine Xuan in the future, and it would be best if she could help Concubine Xuan at the critical moment.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of this matter."
"Wen Yi will also be getting married in the future. I can use this as an opportunity to practice in advance so that I won't be too rushed in the future."
Concubine Jing smiled and turned the topic to Wen Yi, saying with some emotion.
"Sister treats Wen Yi with the kindness of a mother like Zhen. Wen Yi is still so young, but you think so far for Wen Yi. Wen Yi is lucky to have a mother like sister to take care of him."
Everyone was carrying the fancy sedan, and since Concubine Jing had taken the initiative to mention Wen Yi, she naturally wouldn't say anything to spoil the fun.
"It is my blessing to be able to raise Wen Yi under my wing."
"It's just that I'm a little afraid that Wen Yi will be sent to an arranged marriage in the future."
Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Xuan with some hesitation, but still took the initiative to speak out what was in her heart.
"I understand what my sister is thinking. If I can help in any way in the future, I will definitely not refuse."
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally understood that Concubine Jing was testing her in her words and deeds. She had a very good impression of Concubine Jing, and after getting to know her, she felt that Concubine Jing was smart, kind, and had bottom lines, and was the best candidate for a teammate.
Moreover, she had sent Wen Yi to Concubine Jing in the first place, doing this favor in the hope that Concubine Jing would be able to help her in the future.
You know, sometimes Concubine Jing's words can have a great impact. After all, in the emperor's heart, Concubine Jing has always been a reliable and honest person, and the emperor is willing to listen to Concubine Jing.
"Sister, your words are enough."
Concubine Jing took the initiative to hold Fucha Zhixi's hand, looked at Fucha Zhixi with a firm look and said.
"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely do what I say."
While chatting and laughing, the two reached a tacit understanding and their relationship became closer.
In the evening, when the emperor came to Wufu Hall, he saw Fucha Zhixi practicing calligraphy with little Fuzhen.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings."
When Fu Cha Zhixi saw the emperor come in, he helped her up before she even knelt down.
"Hurry up, are you teaching Fu Zhen calligraphy?"
The emperor asked with a smile.
"Fuzhen wanted to practice calligraphy, but his little hands didn't have the strength to write well, so I had to help him write."
"It's just right that Your Majesty is here. Fuzhen will be handed over to You, Your Majesty."
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally handed the child to the emperor. After all, he couldn't just listen to the child calling him "Emperor Father" and do nothing about it.
