Chapter 348
Shen Sui'an was startled by the cold snort of the emperor on the throne and looked up.
I finally understood why Ruan and Ruan Xinglin recognized Lu Yuan as Queen Ruan's son the first time they saw him.
However, she felt that Lu Yuan was more handsome and upright than Emperor Fu.
Fu Jinyuan was much calmer and composed than her, as if Emperor Fu's dark face was not directed at him. He still knelt down with Shen Suian to pay his respects.
I guess I've seen it so many times that I'm used to it.
Before Emperor Fu could speak, Empress Ruan spoke up, "Princess Chen is a twin, so there is no need to kowtow. Your intentions are known to both the Emperor and me."
"Come, take a seat."
Two palace maids helped Shen Sui'an sit down aside.
“……” Emperor Fu’s face turned red and white.
He found that Queen Ruan was becoming increasingly disrespectful to him.
This is simply unreasonable.
Treason!
"Hmph!" Emperor Fu snorted heavily.
"What happened outside the city gate today? You can just bring your two concubines back with you. Being jealous only adds to the joke. This is not the demeanor of a lady of a royal family."
Shen Sui'an showed a look of trepidation and said, "Father is right."
"It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Prince Chen is of royal blood, and it is his duty to expand the royal family. As a..." Emperor Fu frowned, ready to give Shen Sui'an a lecture.
These words were actually also spoken to Queen Ruan.
However, Queen Ruan was not very patient to listen any further.
"Your Majesty, even if you want to take a concubine, you have to consider her character. The government just sent us the confessions of two women, and they have both confessed." Queen Ruan interrupted Emperor Fu.
Emperor Fu had a long speech to go on, and was somewhat displeased when Empress Ruan interrupted him.
"what?"
Queen Ruan said in a gentle voice, "The woman surnamed Lin confessed. Someone gave her money and sent them to the Southern Dynasty to find a way to ruin the reputation of the Prince of Chen."
"Besides...she is still two months pregnant."
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Chen has been in the Southern Dynasty for more than two months. It is impossible for him to make this woman pregnant."
Emperor Fu: “…”
Shen Sui'an didn't expect that Aunt Lin was already pregnant. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"In that case, I will select a few concubines for Prince Chen again." Emperor Fu said.
"It is true that many men in this world like to hug women, but there are also men who support their wives and never leave them. Your Majesty, you will not understand this rare and precious love between husband and wife."
"In the folks, if a father-in-law always interferes in his son's harem affairs, he will be laughed at." Queen Ruan still spoke in a soft voice.
But what he said almost made Emperor Fu so angry that he glared.
"What does the Queen mean? Can't I grant Prince Chen two concubines?" Emperor Fu said angrily.
Queen Ruan chuckled, "Of course you can. I am doing this for your dignity."
Shen Sui'an lowered her head. She really needed to be very restrained to try not to laugh out loud.
"Your Majesty, I do not want a concubine and I do not need a concubine." Fu Jinyuan said with a frown.
"You are a prince, and you are supposed to expand the royal family." Emperor Fu looked at him unhappily.
Fu Jinyuan looked at Emperor Fu solemnly, and stared at him, "I don't want the harem to be in turmoil, causing my descendants to be displaced."
"..." Emperor Fu felt like he was slapped hard in the face.
All the words were gone.
This Prince actually dared to mock him.
But this is true.
He was full of fear of his eldest son. At that time, he was afraid that Ji Ruan would kill him, so he directly supported the young emperor to ascend the throne.
Shen Sui'an spoke softly, "When I was in Yong Dynasty, I heard that the capital city was prosperous. When I entered the city today, I found that it was really as famous as it was said."
"Your Majesty, don't you still have official business to attend to?" Queen Ruan asked softly.
Today, because it was the first time she met her daughter-in-law, she had been very patient with him. She treated him so considerately, gently and amiably, and she hoped that the emperor would stop while he was ahead.
Emperor Fu's attempt to show his power failed, and he instead lost his dignity in front of his daughter-in-law.
"I'll go take care of official business first." Emperor Fu stood up with a dark face.
After taking two steps, he scolded Fu Jinyuan again, "What's wrong with your Pacification Division? Why did you recruit these playboys in?"
"What can those people do? Don't mess up the Pacification Bureau."
Fu Jinyuan was in a good mood today and didn't want to argue with Emperor Fu over such a trivial matter.
"Your Majesty is right. I will definitely teach them carefully." Fu Jinyuan said.
"What did you say? If you want to teach those playboys well, how could they be called trash by others? Prince Chen, you are too conceited. You will suffer in the future." Emperor Fu taught in a deep voice.
Fu Jinyuan smiled and said, "I will recruit more useful talents."
It was like a punch on cotton, and Emperor Fu felt even more upset.
He strode out of Kunning Palace.
As expected, he and Kunning Palace were in conflict, and he was never in a good mood every time he came here.
Queen Ruan gently put down the teacup in her hand.
Shen Suian noticed that the teacup had several cracks.
"Prince Chen, please go talk to the Crown Prince. I will teach Sui Sui a few things that she should pay attention to during pregnancy." Queen Ruan said to Fu Jinyuan with a smile.
"Yes." Fu Jinyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Suian.
After her son left, Queen Ruan waved to Shen Sui'an, "Let's go inside and talk."
"Yes, mother." Shen Suian responded softly.
Queen Ruan held Shen Suian's hand. She had heard the prince describe Shen Suian, and although she had never met him, she liked him very much.
Now that they have met, she is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I was negligent about the appearance of Lin and Guan today." Shen Sui'an said guiltily.
Although she refuted Lin and Guan Yue, Lu Yuan's reputation was still affected to some extent.
"How can you be blamed for this? If they hadn't been deliberately sent to the Southern Dynasty, would they have been able to guard the royal capital before you?" said Queen Ruan.
"You handled it very well. However, they don't know who sent it. The person behind the scenes hid it very well." Queen Ruan said.
Apart from Concubine Yao, Shen Suian couldn't think of anyone else who could do it.
"Sui Sui, I want to say thank you to you." Queen Ruan said in a low voice.
Shen Sui'an was stunned, "Mother?"
"Although you and Prince Chen were married by an appointed marriage, you never looked down on his background. I know his situation in the Lu family at that time, and others also looked down on his background."
Thinking of the hardships her son had endured since childhood, Queen Ruan couldn't help but choke up.
She was truly grateful to Shen Sui'an. Seeing the affection between her and her son, she couldn't fake it.
"No, mother." Shen Sui'an said softly, "It's my husband who is very good."
Queen Ruan chuckled, "You are all fine. From now on, just stay in the capital city with peace of mind. You don't have to be afraid of anyone. Your mother is here for you."
