Concubine Guo was caught off guard when she learned that her son was going to marry in Luosha. She rushed to the imperial study like a madman to find the emperor and ask him to revoke his decision.
She knelt at the door of the imperial study, kowtowed continuously, and begged the emperor to see her.
In her stereotyped mindset, only women could go to marry, how could men go to marry? Moreover, her son was a prince, the eldest son of the emperor of Daqing. How could she live in the harem from now on? Wouldn't she be laughed at to death?
Moreover, she only has this one son, who is the hope of her second half of life. Now he leaves without saying anything and goes so far away that it will be difficult to see him in the future. How can she bear this?
Concubine Guo was actually a very selfish person. She only cared about her own face and honor.
The emperor didn't want to see her at all, he just sent Eunuch Fu to tell her that it was a foregone conclusion at this point and the order could not be taken back. Moreover, this was something Helian Heng asked for himself and no one forced him.
There was a redness and swelling on Concubine Guo's forehead from the knock. Upon hearing this, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears without any image.
She didn't understand why her ambitious son disappeared? Why did he become so self-degrading now? Was he willing to lower his status for a woman, even abandoning his mother and following that woman?
She was too noisy, and the emperor was disgusted by her, so he ordered her to be sent back to Qiu Shui Palace.
Before leaving, Helian Heng came to see his mother. As soon as he entered the door, a teacup was thrown at his feet and broke into pieces.
"Get lost, you rebellious son! How dare you come to see me? You've almost made me lose all my face!"
Helian Heng just smiled bitterly when he heard this. He walked towards his mother and asked:
"Mother, in your eyes, power and face are more important, right? Even to you, Eunuch Lu is more important than your son, right?"
He mentioned Eunuch Lu unexpectedly, and Concubine Guo trembled violently. She looked at him in disbelief. What did he know?
Since that year, Concubine Guo was found to be pregnant. She was carrying the first child since the emperor ascended the throne, a precious son. Therefore, she was the most glorious one in the harem.
Afterwards, she gave birth to a prince, who was the emperor's eldest son and the first prince of this dynasty. He had a noble status and would have the opportunity to ascend the throne in the future.
Concubine Guo had high hopes for him since he was young and trained him strictly. She required him to do his best in both literature and martial arts.
Helian Heng had no childhood to speak of. From the age of three, he either recited poems and read books every day, or learned martial arts from Eunuch Lu. His mother treated him as a tool to win favor and always asked him to show himself in front of his father. After he could remember, she had been brainwashing him that he was the eldest son, the first prince of the Yongle Dynasty, there was no legitimate son in the empress dowager, and he would sit on the throne in the future.
After being brainwashed day after day, he began to go crazy.
In particular, one day, he discovered an incredible secret, that is, his mother and Eunuch Lu were snuggling together.
Eunuch Lu was a eunuch, and the most they could do was just snuggle up to each other and could not do anything else. But despite this, the young Helian Heng still felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted.
At that moment, he secretly vowed to become the supreme person, so he was so obsessed with that position later on, so much so that he missed a lot of people and things that should have been good. Only after living his life again did he find the meaning of his life.
Concubine Guo was speechless after hearing his words. She didn't know how to respond, but she felt a little guilty.
Forget it. Helian Heng had already seen through it. There are always many regrets in life. I think Eunuch Lu is also a regret for my mother.
"Mother, I have already told the Crown Prince that after I go to Luosha, he will ensure that you will have peace and security for the rest of your life. Today I am here to say goodbye to you. When I am free in the future, I will come back to see you."
After saying this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Concubine Guo.
When he left, Eunuch Lu was standing at the door of the bedroom. The two looked at each other. Eunuch Lu just lowered his head, but he still saw the complicated look in his eyes.
Confused, puzzled, and unwilling!
But so what? It doesn't matter at all. He hated him in his last life, but in this life, he has let it go.
"Your Highness, have you really thought it through?" Eunuch Lu took the initiative to ask, he was referring to the matter of the marriage to Luosha.
"From now on, Mother will be entrusted to Eunuch Lu to take care of her."
As long as his mother doesn't act like a troublemaker, their future lives will be pretty good. He has nothing to worry about because Helian Jing is someone he can trust.
Eunuch Lu felt like he had something stuck in his throat and in the end he could only watch Helian Heng leave.
…
The night before Fang Miao left, Jiang Sui called Xia Wanning and Anle, and the four of them slept together and played all night. They ignored their children and their husbands and just had a simple gathering among good sisters.
The next day, Josephine left Beijing with her and her large army.
Also traveling with them was Helian Heng and his generous "dowry"
The Emperor and the Empress came in person to the gate of Kyoto to see them off. Concubine Guo did not come. Her own son exposed her ugly deeds yesterday, and she kowtowed and disfigured herself. She had neither the face nor the courage to come to see them off.
Everyone looked at the direction where Joseline and the others left, and none of them could tell what they were feeling.
But one thing is certain, everyone will spend a very long time in peace and tranquility.
After returning to the palace, the emperor issued an edict that Concubine Guo, who was ill, should go to Yunshan Palace to recuperate from that day on.
This is a good thing, it allows her to stay away from the harem and live her own life alone in the future.
…
More than a month later, Josephine arrived safely in Luosha Country. This was Fang Miao's second visit to Luosha Country. Compared with the embarrassment of the first time, this time she returned here under the attention of everyone.
Jocelyn announced to the whole country that Fang Miao changed her name to Angelina. In Luosha Country, this name means the most beautiful, the most elegant, and the most noble.
From then on, all Luosha subjects had to respectfully address her as Princess Angelina.
Her return is a thorn in the eyes of the two princes, but it also means that her future life in Rakshasa Kingdom will be full of uncertainty.
Because she had Daqing blood, many nobles were actually dissatisfied with her, and even began to instigate the two princes to get married as soon as possible and give birth to an imperial granddaughter with pure blood. Perhaps the one with good talent could even be treated differently by the empress.
The most important thing is that she actually brought back a royal husband from Daqing. His identity is the prince of Daqing, which makes the Luosha people even more wary.
However, with Joseline protecting them, they could only whisper behind her back.
