Now the two forces are entwined with each other, and he has to deal with state affairs day and night, which is really tiring. Seeing that their lord is indeed distracted and exhausted, Xiao Chen's staff came up with an idea.
"The young emperor's elder sister, Princess Funing, has been in mourning for three years and fighting in the war for another three years. She is eighteen years old this year and it is time for her to get married." The aide did not explain in detail because he did not know whether Xiao Chen would be willing to humble himself and marry a spoiled princess home.
Xiao Chen pondered for a long time and did not reject the proposal. He was 26 years old this year and had never married because of his big ambitions. If he married Fu Ning, it would be a good idea. As long as the princess gave birth to a child and the little emperor died without anyone knowing, the princess's child would be the only bloodline of the royal family.
As for the brothers and princes of the previous emperor, they were nothing but rebels and had no right to ascend the throne.
"I went to the palace and found that the little emperor had just ascended the throne. The brother and sister must be very worried. How could we, as his subjects, just sit there and do nothing?" The young prime minister was confident and determined to succeed.
Princess Funing was the only princess in the palace. She was doted on since childhood and brought up in pampered condition. When she was twelve years old, her father, the emperor, died of an emergency illness and her mother, the queen mother, was forced by the prime minister and others to be buried alive with him. All the concubines in the harem were given poisoned wine and died with her, leaving only her and her brother.
Funing knew that everyone wanted the throne under her brother's butt, but she was only twelve years old, knew nothing, and had no power at all. Once she lost her parents and was forced to grow up, Funing took her brother and struggled to make a living under the prime minister.
In Xiao Chen's eyes, Fu Ning has always been arrogant and domineering, and has no brains, so he never stopped her from interacting with the little emperor. Now that he plans to marry Fu Ning, he naturally has to get to know her more first.
After receiving the notification from the servants that the Prime Minister wanted to see him, Funing panicked. The Prime Minister had never spoken to him in the past few years. Why did he suddenly want to see him?
Fu Ning didn't want to see him, but Xiao Chen asked someone to inform him just to save face. He didn't need to wait at all. He had already walked slowly into the princess's inner room.
It was really too disrespectful. Funing clenched her fists in her sleeves, wishing she could bite to death this man who forced her mother to be buried alive and bullied her and her siblings.
