Hearing Fang Yuan say this, and seeing Fang Yuan's simple clothes, Fang Jinghan understood:
"Don't worry, my position as my principal husband has been vacant. Your father has done a great service in giving birth to you, so when he goes back, he will be my principal husband. You will also be the heir of my royal palace, and my throne will be yours in the future."
Wang's concubine gave birth to a stillborn child, so she has always remained a concubine.
She never got the position of royal consort that she longed for.
"Yun'er comes from a humble background and dares not even dream of becoming the king's consort. As long as Your Highness holds my daughter and me in your heart, I will be content!"
Although Liu Yun was secretly pleased that the prince had never had a proper husband, he knew that he came from a humble background.
It will definitely have to be postponed.
As for that concubine, Wang, who framed him to give birth to a daughter before him, unexpectedly gave birth to a boy.
Hmph, serves him right. All his efforts were in vain, and he and his child suffered greatly.
"This is what you deserve. You know that not having a proper husband means that I have no daughters now. You gave me my only daughter, so you deserve the position of royal consort."
Fang Jinghan looked at the man in front of her, whose face was somewhat pale but still handsome.
Time never diminishes a beauty, and he, on the other hand, hasn't changed much.
"Your Highness..." Liu Yun lowered her head shyly.
I felt indescribably happy.
Seeing Fang Jinghan looking at Fang Yuan expectantly, he quickly stepped forward and pulled his daughter:
"How can you be so insensible, child? Your mother has already apologized to you, quickly call for help!"
"Mother Queen..." Fang Yuan had no choice but to step forward, bow, and call out.
It's just that this form of address sounds awkward no matter how you look at it.
Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. She should be used to it by now, after so many lifetimes.
"Oh! My dear daughter, get up quickly." Fang Jinghan smiled with satisfaction.
They finally got their daughter back.
Fang Jinghan settled down in the small courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Fang Yuan also introduced her two husbands to her mother.
The two were stunned when they learned that the man they had married was a prince.
After witnessing Fang Jinghan's imposing aura, both of them lost their composure, despite their previous attempts to comfort each other.
The scrutinizing gaze they met only made them feel inferior.
Fang Jinghan naturally looked down on it:
"Forget it, you two just need to take good care of Yuan'er from now on, and be good husbands."
My daughter has really suffered in the countryside. What kind of scum she married?
One was so tall and strong, while the other was so thin and frail.
She must find more good partners for her daughter in the future.
"Mother, Yi-ge has taken care of me since I was a child and saved my life. I want him to be my husband."
Fang Yuan retorted directly, how could the man she had her eye on be dismissed with the title of "husband-servant"?
Besides, this is her husband; this cheap mother is meddling too much.
"Don't talk nonsense. In any noble family, a man of any status can only be a principal husband if he has given birth to a daughter. Our royal family is no exception. No matter how much we love a man, he can only be a concubine."
Of course, the emperor is a different story.
The reason he was able to directly offer Liu Yun the position of his husband today is because he gave birth to Fang Yuan.
"Can..."
Seeing that Fang Yuan was still trying to argue about his identity, Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and pulled Fang Yuan away:
“It’s alright, my lady. It’s enough to be by your side. You are of noble status. It’s already an honor for me, an orphan, to be your servant.”
He genuinely wished he could stay by Fang Yuan's side.
As for his status, how could an orphan like him be worthy of the position of the future prince's official husband?
“No, he must at least be a concubine.” Fang Yuan looked at Fang Jinghan: “Mother, Brother Yi saved my life and has been with me for many years. I also like him. He must have the status of a concubine.”
Although she tries to conform to the norm and avoid being abrupt in each life due to the system's requirement to die of old age, she still shows some favoritism towards the people and things she likes.
"Alright, a concubine is fine. You have four concubine positions anyway, so give him one."
Fang Jinghan eventually gave in. After all, this man had been with the father and daughter for so many years, and she didn't intend to argue with her daughter about his status.
Anyway, I'll just pick a few good ones when I get back.
As for He Chang'an, neither mother nor daughter mentioned him again; being a good wife was already enough for them.
The following day, on Luo Jinxiang's 70th birthday, the mansion welcomed a distinguished guest—Prince Jin.
"Greetings, Your Highness! Long live Your Highness! Greetings, Your Highness!"
Luo Jinxiang did not expect that the Prince of Jin would arrive so quickly, and that he would come in person.
Looking at Fang Yuan standing beside Prince Jin, she felt a sense of relief.
"Please rise, Madam. I have come to disturb you."
Fang Jinghan looked at the old lady in front of her. This woman was a veteran of three dynasties. Although she had returned to her hometown to retire, she had found her daughter. Fang Jinghan was very grateful to her.
"I never expected that Your Highness and Princess would grace our residence with their presence. It is truly an honor for me," Luo Jinxiang said with a gentle smile as she looked at the two of them.
"I have come here specifically to thank the old lady for helping me find my daughter who has been lost for many years."
Fang Jinghan felt truly grateful when she thought about the message she had received earlier.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinxiang quickly replied, "It is Your Highness's great fortune that the princess was found; it is also a blessing from heaven!"
Fortunately, she managed to send the news back. This time, the Luo family really hit the jackpot, managing to get on the Prince of Jin's good side.
"I must also thank Madam Luo, which is why I informed Mother Queen of my upcoming birthday celebration," Fang Yuan added.
Fang Jinghan directly had a white jade Guanyin statue delivered to him:
"My arrival is abrupt; it's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope the old lady won't take offense."
She bought this after she arrived here. She was so eager to find her daughter that she wouldn't have brought any birthday gifts.
But the gift itself isn't important; the kindness she showed was what mattered most.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It is truly an honor for the Luo family to have Your Highness personally attend my birthday banquet."
Luo Jinxiang accepted the gift with a smile. She didn't care where the gift came from; just the fact that it was a gift from the prince made it worth keeping and passing down through generations.
During their conversation, Zhou Jingyi also came to offer her congratulations. Her eyes lit up when she saw Fang Jinghan, and she immediately stepped forward to bow.
"Your Highness, I greet you."
She followed Fang Jingyi into battle more than ten years ago, so she can be considered to have come from her school.
He was able to become the governor of Yuncheng thanks to Fang Jinghan.
As for the Prince of Jin, she was naturally a member of his lineage.
"Governor Zhou is here too? I'll have to get more information from you this time. Yuan'er should thank Governor Zhou." Fang Jinghan was very satisfied with Zhou Jingyi.
She received a message from Zhou Jingyi before she arrived, and then she received a message from the Luo family.
This person's letter arrived a full day before the Luo family's, showing that they cared a lot about her affairs.
“Yes, we should thank Governor Zhou. Your Majesty, Governor Zhou needs Golden Pregnancy Fruit. If you have any, you could send a few to him,” Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Everyone's infertility situation is different, but since she is so eager for the Golden Pregnancy Fruit, she can still give her a few.
However, if Governor Zhou had also been wounded on the battlefield back then, then there would be nothing she could do.
"Oh? Then I'll send you two more when we get back!" Fang Jinghan readily agreed.
Now that she no longer worries about having no successor, she is naturally willing to help her former favorite.
As a royal prince and the younger sister of the Crown Princess, she could still obtain several golden fruits of pregnancy.
However, she herself had damaged her health, which is why no more children were born in her harem.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhou Jingyi was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then began to flatter him:
"I always thought the princess was a carbon copy of you, and I never imagined she really is your daughter. The young prince is not only handsome and dashing, but also has the same superhuman strength as you. It is I who should congratulate Your Highness."
She never expected that what she originally wanted to do was to buy a golden pregnancy fruit, but instead she would encounter Prince Fang Yuan.
"Alright, stop praising her. We're here for a birthday banquet, so let's not steal the spotlight. I should be thanking the old lady; she's done a wonderful job organizing this banquet."
If this birthday banquet hadn't been held, she wouldn't know when she would have found out she had such a grown daughter!
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is right. We should thank Lord Luo."
Since the prince had said so, she naturally echoed his sentiments.
Besides, she was genuinely grateful to Old Madam Luo for being able to establish a connection with the young prince and even obtain the golden pregnancy fruit.
"I dare not accept the thanks from Your Highness and Governor Zhou. This is all due to your good fortune. I dare not take credit for it."
The group exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Butler Luo Huan stepped forward and announced that the auspicious time had arrived and the younger generation of the household had come to offer their birthday wishes.
Luo Jinxiang nodded: "Let them in!"
Now that the Prince of Jin is sitting in her house, there shouldn't be any problem with her marrying her grandson to the little princess, right?
Fang Jinghan also watched the Luo family's grandchildren with great interest.
He has three granddaughters and three grandsons, and they are all doing quite well.
Fang Jinghan sized up the three grandsons, and thinking of the two "misfits" in her daughter's backyard, she couldn't help but speak:
"Madam Luo is so blessed to have such a large and well-educated family. I wonder if any of your grandchildren are married?"
Fang Yuan was stunned when she heard this. Could it be that her adoptive mother was trying to find her a new husband?
She hasn't even left the county town yet, and they've already picked her?
Luo Jinxiang smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this: "My three grandsons have been raised by my husband since they were little, and they are quite well-behaved. None of them are married yet."
She had finally gotten the chance to hear the King of Jin ask this question; she had already inquired about the two husbands living in the Fangyuan House.
The key issue with being born an orphan in the countryside is that he's not good-looking; if he returned to the capital, he probably wouldn't even be able to become a concubine.
Her three grandsons are not only handsome, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She simply doesn't believe that a young woman from the countryside would look down on them.
Fang Jinghan nodded: "That's right. My Yuan'er has suffered a lot over the years, and she really needs a confidant to take care of her!"
She carefully examined the three of them and was quite satisfied.
"..."
Fang Yuan glanced speechlessly at her adoptive mother, knowing that she was planning to find her a husband.
She used her divine sense to examine the three young men.
She had met two of the three men before; she had met the second and third young masters before, but this was the first time she had met the fourth young master.
However, if she really had to marry, she would choose the second young master.
