Xu Gucheng's few words made the emperor make such a decision. Concubine Liu Defi had a strange feeling in her heart, but she could not stop it. After all, as a member of the harem, she could not rebuke ministers in front of the emperor. [No pop-up novel website]
Concubine Liu Defi looked at Xu Gucheng with a deeper look, but she couldn't see anything unusual about him.
Because of the appearance of Xu Gucheng, Concubine Liu Defi was a little unsure about the things she had been so confident about.
In her impression, Xu Gucheng was not someone who liked to get involved in everything, so today's behavior was really puzzling.
After leaving the pavilion, the emperor personally confirmed some evidence collected by Concubine Liu Def that Fang Jing was King Xu's posthumous son. After confirming again that Fang Jing was his nephew, his heart could not be calm for a long time.
He hadn't been this excited in years.
Except for Sixth Brother, who is only two years old now, all his other sons have died young. In addition to being sad, he also thought about passing the throne to his eldest brother King Chu's son in the future. After all, they have the same father and mother...
But in the past few years, he had watched with cold eyes, and found that none of King Chu's sons could be called outstanding.
And Fang Jing is worthy of such an evaluation in terms of talent, learning, and conduct, or even worse.
But now that he has a sixth brother, there is no need to pass the throne to his nephew.
Soon after, the three of them met Fang Jing in Concubine Liu Def's main hall. The emperor was naturally sitting in the front seat, and Concubine Liu Def and Xu Gucheng sat on his left and right hands respectively.
Apart from the three of them and a eunuch who had been serving the emperor all year round, there was no one else in the room.
Fang Jing, who was led over by the eunuch, opened the curtain and finally strode in. He was still dressed in white, without any patterns on it.
Such a brocade robe looks very decent on him, and matches his elegant, calm and worldly temperament very well.
His eyes were clear and indifferent. He swept over the three people without any warmth, finally stopped on the emperor, then lowered his eyes and saluted: "Fang Jingping has met the official family."
"Get up, get up, don't be so unfamiliar, I am your imperial uncle." The emperor was originally going to act like an emperor and look at Fang Jing coldly, wanting to see how the prodigy of the year was doing now. Unexpectedly, he softened his heart the moment Fang Jing came in.
This look. He looks like King Xu when he was young, but his magnanimity is even greater.
He owed King Xu a lot, and he didn't take care of his nephew. now……
Fang Jing did not answer, but looked at the emperor with cool and focused eyes.
Concubine Liu Defe knew a little bit about Fang Jing's temperament and hurriedly came to the rescue: "Jing Ping. Now the emperor also knows your identity..."
Concubine Liu Defe said a lot, but Fang Jing just said lightly: "Although I am the son of King Xu, I have never met Prince Xu, and I have never received any warmth from him. I just want to live an ordinary life, and I hope The official family and Concubine Liu Def are happy."
He looked calm as he spoke. There is no nervousness at all when ordinary people face the saint.
What he meant was that I have royal blood, but you have done nothing for me, and I don’t want to enter the palace.
ah?
Concubine Liu Defi looked at Fang Jing in disbelief. He hurriedly looked at the emperor again, and his expression changed as expected.
Concubine Liu Def knew her love for the emperor best. He hated it most when his passion was extinguished.
The emperor's reaction today still showed that he was looking forward to this nephew. He wanted to give him a title and an official position, but he was rejected every time he said it.
Concubine Liu Defi really didn't expect Fang Jing to say these words so forcefully. After all, when she met him in the morning, he looked polite and elegant, not as cold as before.
She must not let the relationship between the emperor and Fang Jing become tense, otherwise everything she did would be in vain.
Just before the emperor got angry, Xu Gucheng spoke and said the words he had thought up last night. He said it over and over again, which made the emperor feel a little more comfortable.
In the end, the emperor only recognized Fang Jing as his nephew in private and did not announce it to the public.
Concubine Liu Defi was very angry because her goal had not been achieved. That night, she suggested to the emperor to investigate where Fang Jing had been, what he had done, and how he had lived in the past twenty years.
Although the emperor didn't like Fang Jing's attitude this morning, he admired Fang Jing very much, not to mention his nephew. Out of Fang Jing's curiosity and concern, he followed Concubine Liu Defe's suggestion and called his cronies to investigate.
Two days later, I learned about the relationship between Fang Jing and Xu Nuo.
After learning about this, the emperor was furious and hurriedly recruited Xu Gucheng, who had just left the court, into the palace. In the study, he scolded him that his persuasion two days ago was all for personal gain, and asked him if he had already known that Fang Jing was the son of Prince Xu. .
Naturally, Xu Gucheng would not admit that a large part of his behavior that day was based on self-interest, but said righteously that he did not understand what the emperor said.
The emperor was so angry that he threw the paperweight on the desk and told him the relationship between Fang Jing and Xu Nuo.
Xu Gucheng had no idea what the emperor said. He didn't expect that his daughter was raised by Fang Jing.
Xu Gucheng relied on his ability to tell the truth and persuaded the emperor to calm down from his extreme anger. When he left, the two of them chatted and laughed, but there was no trace of the tense situation when he threw the paperweight.
Unexpectedly, the emperor came to Xu Gucheng again the next day and asked him if he would betrothed to Fang Jing.
After all, Xu Nuo was raised by Fang Jing, and the relationship between the two was close enough. It was just right that they hadn't even made an engagement yet.
Xu Gucheng was confused after hearing the emperor's bold idea. He really didn't know how to persuade him this time.
After all, his daughter was not raised by his father, but by the young man Fang Jing.
Fang Jing is very good, and it would be great if Liu Niang is paired with him. But Liu Niang is still young and has lost her memory, so she may not reject Fang Jing. He hopes that his daughter can marry someone she likes, not a Someone the Xu family likes.
Xu Gucheng did not refuse or agree at that time. He only said that he was going back to his hometown to discuss something with his wife. In fact, he sent a letter to Concubine Liu Def as soon as he left the emperor's house.
At this time, he could only ask Concubine Liu Defi to help speak, but he had ruined Concubine Liu Defi's affairs before, and now it was difficult to succeed in begging her, so he attached a very tempting condition: when he went to court, he proposed that Concubine Liu Defi be his queen.
He supports her becoming the queen, and uses this condition in exchange for the emperor not to marry her.
