Chapter 440 Eliminating the Barrier
Outside the imperial study, Concubine Yuan had a hint of anxiety in her eyes, but she could only wait outside the door.
Inside the door, Fan Heng stood in front of Emperor Jing of Wei across the desk.
Emperor Jing of Wei pointed at the memorials on the table and said, "Fan Heng, all the memorials here are for me to punish you. You have only been the Marquis of Wuling for a short time, but there are quite a few memorials about you."
Fan Heng knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I will be careful with my words and actions in the future."
What was said in the memorial was of no importance. This was a "flaw" that Fan Heng deliberately left for Emperor Jing of Wei. A person like Emperor Jing of Wei would never trust a perfect person. Only those who depended on him throughout their lives could gain his trust.
Fan Heng had always grasped the right balance, so he knew that Emperor Jing of Wei definitely didn't ask him to come over to settle these trivial matters.
"Fan Heng, I know you have been doing your best, and there are some things that I don't need to remind you of. But you still have to take to heart what I said in the Fengyi Palace, understand?"
What Emperor Jing of Wei was most worried about was his own face. Su Chenyu's words reminded him that Fan Heng was the marquis he had conferred upon himself, and Yan Heng represented his own face.
"Your humble servant Mingyi."
"I will ask the two maids to teach Concubine Yuan and Concubine Xiang about the rules of the harem. As for some etiquette rules, I will ask the Minister of Rites Ding Younian to teach you."
Fan Heng had not expected Emperor Jing of Wei to say this, but since things had come to this point, he could not refuse: "Your humble servant Mingyi."
"I know you have feelings for Jiang Huai, but you have approached her many times and Jiang Huai has no interest in you. Let's forget about it. Since I have already arranged a marriage between her and Li Muyuan, I will find someone else for you in the future."
Emperor Jing of Wei had originally hoped that Jiang Huai could be with Fan Heng, but on that day in the hall, Jiang Huai's heart and eyes were full of Li Muyuan, and Fan Heng had no hope.
If he insisted on changing his marriage, it would definitely make Xixia unhappy. Considering this reason, Emperor Jing of Wei agreed to choose a date for them so readily.
Fan Heng was secretly resentful in his heart. He didn't like Jiang Huai at all. He wanted to be the helper of Xixia behind Jiang Huai.
But this banquet this evening made all his plans go awry: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for considering me."
"Well."
"I will take my leave."
Fan Heng left the imperial study, and when he passed by Concubine Yuan, he shook his head at her, and Concubine Yuan felt relieved.
Emperor Jing of Wei did not come out of the imperial study until Fan Heng had gone far away. He unfolded a cloak and put it on Concubine Yuan: "It's cold at night, you don't have to stay here."
"Your Majesty, my brother and I have caused trouble for Your Majesty. I cannot rest in peace without you here."
Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Emperor Jing of Wei felt soft-hearted and held her hands: "Don't worry, I won't take my anger out on you because of this matter."
Concubine Yuan sighed: "On the throne of the great palace, the words that Duke Fengyi said really frightened me. After all, you are the Duke's mother, how could the Duke speak to you like that?"
When it comes to Su Chenyu, Emperor Jing of Wei feels a headache: "Ever since she came back from Xixia, her actions have become more and more unscrupulous."
Concubine Yuan placed her hand on her belly, which had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy: "Your Majesty, if I and you have a child, I will definitely teach him patiently and will never let him disrespect you."
Emperor Jing of Wei took Concubine Yuan's hand and walked into the imperial study: "You are the most considerate. You don't need to worry about Concubine Xiang's affairs. When the dragon heir in your belly is born, I will promote her position at the same time."
"Then I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of my sister." Concubine Yuan sighed, "I don't know how hard the slaps from the emperor were. My sister's face is still intact. She stays in the bedroom all day and dares not come out to see people."
"Then let Zhao Zihang show it to Xiangpin."
