Chapter 194 Consort Fucha
Time quickly passed to the twelfth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, and the closer it got to the thirteenth year, the more excited Fucha Peiyun became.
Over the years, Big Fat Orange's suspicions have grown day by day.
She would test them from time to time, and her attitude towards Hongchang also underwent a subtle change.
Originally, Big Fatty Orange was very satisfied with his son Hongchang, and usually praised him the most.
But starting last year, Da Pang Ju's attitude towards Hong Chang gradually changed.
Hongchang clearly performed very well, but Da Pang Ju not only didn't praise him, he also kept telling Hongchang not to be arrogant or complacent.
Hongchang was filled with doubt and grievance, not understanding why his father had suddenly changed his attitude.
He studied even harder, hoping to regain the approval of the big fat orange cat.
But the big fat orange still didn't satisfy him.
The chubby orange even showed some appreciation for his three sons, Hongshi, Hongli, and Hongzhou, whom he had previously looked down upon.
They suddenly started to value it.
This caused Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan to gradually lose patience with the old man.
Fucha Peiyun was perfectly aware of what the fat orange was planning.
Unfortunately, the big orange cat's sons were all rather mediocre.
Compared to Kowloon back then, it's like night and day.
Fucha Peiyun was not worried that her son would lose to Hongshi and the others.
After all, she had a lot of confidence in her son's abilities.
However, the fat orange's actions severely affected Hongchang's mood.
This intensified Fucha Peiyun's dissatisfaction with the chubby orange.
Fortunately, Hongchang was raised by Fucha Peiyun.
She never hid the intrigues and power struggles within the palace from Hongchang.
This child is not only intelligent and quick-witted, but also has an excellent character.
Although Hiroshi was somewhat disappointed by the change in the chubby orange cat's attitude,
But she wasn't too upset; instead, she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Hongchang cared more about his mother, Fucha Peiyun, than his father, the chubby orange-haired emperor.
However, this also made Fucha Peiyun determined to accelerate the implementation of her plan.
Let's get rid of the big fat orange as soon as possible.
Big Fat Orange's high regard for the Hongshi brothers was merely a ploy to suppress Heng Hongchang.
Fucha Peiyun was no fool.
She naturally understood that at this time, she could use her status as Empress to suppress Hongshi and his brothers.
And their mother's actions were not wise.
Doing so would be tantamount to handing someone a handle to use against you, putting yourself in a passive position.
On the contrary, Fucha Peiyun chose to follow her husband's lead.
When the chubby orange cat showed concern for the Hongshi brothers, she seized the opportunity.
In front of the chubby orange, he praised the Hongshi brothers, saying they were diligent, studious, and ambitious.
Moreover, she often bestowed precious items upon their mother to demonstrate her generosity and kindness.
In this way, Fucha Peiyun successfully portrayed herself as an empress, a paragon of virtue and grace.
The image of a kind and benevolent queen pleased the chubby orange cat very much.
However, for Zhen Huan, who had been waiting to find fault with Fucha Peiyun, this was a great disappointment.
Fucha Peiyun knew that at this final juncture, the slightest carelessness could cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, she was not only very careful herself,
He also advised Nian Shilan to be more patient and wait a while longer, so as not to fail at the last minute.
However, Fucha Peiyun also knew the saying "the more you talk, the more mistakes you make," and "walls have ears," so every time she talked with Nian Shilan,
She was extremely careful with her words, striking the perfect balance, and never daring to be careless in the slightest.
She worried that her words might be overheard by those with ulterior motives, thus arousing the suspicion of Big Fat Orange.
The harem may seem calm on the surface these past few years, but in reality, the fat orange has quite a few women around him.
These women were all carefully selected by Nian Shilan; each of them longed to gain the emperor's favor.
Therefore, they were jealous of each other and engaged in open and covert struggles.
Nian Shilan did this simply to use these palace maids to attract the attention of the chubby orange.
So that he wouldn't have time to attend to other things.
On this day, Consort Qi came to Kunning Palace to request an audience with Fucha Peiyun.
Fucha Peiyun was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Consort Qi had come for, but she still had someone invite her in.
Consort Qi has been living a very quiet life in Changchun Palace all these years.
Even with her by her side, Consort Wen of the palace, Guarjia Wenyuan, rarely acted like a demon.
Even though the chubby orange cat seems to value Hongshi a lot now, checking on his studies and health every day.
Consort Qi dared not make a fuss.
Although Consort Qi wasn't particularly clever, she had developed a good sense of self-awareness over the years.
She couldn't outmaneuver the women in the harem, and her Hongshi wasn't as clever as Hongchang and the others.
Even if the Emperor values Hongshi highly now, it's impossible for him to hand over the throne to Hongshi.
She still obediently waited for her son to leave the palace and establish his own residence.
Fucha Peiyun looked at Consort Qi as she entered, a gentle smile on her face.
"Sister Qi Fei, what brings you to my Kunning Palace today?"
Consort Qi quickly curtsied, bowed slightly, and looked somewhat apprehensive, replying softly:
"Your Majesty, I have come today to ask for your help regarding Hongshi's matter."
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun thought for a moment.
On second thought, Hongshi is already eighteen years old this year. In the Qing Dynasty,
Many men of this age already have wives and concubines.
Hongshi's room, however, remained empty, without even a concubine.
(For the sake of the plot, Hongshi is around 18 years old, Hongli is around 16 years old, and Hongzhou is around 16 years old.)
Hongchang was around eleven years old.
This room has been empty for a long time. In the Qing Dynasty, there were plenty of men who had wives and concubines by the age of twelve or thirteen.
Consort Qi should be anxious at this point.
Now that she and Nian Shilan are empresses, this is something they should be worrying about.
As for Consort Qi coming to see her instead of Nian Shilan, it was obviously because she was easier to talk to.
Fucha Peiyun understood in her heart, but remained outwardly calm.
"Sister, please sit down and have a cup of tea. We can talk about it slowly."
After Consort Qi sat down, Fucha Peiyun pushed the tea in front of her and said with a smile:
"Sister, please speak freely."
Consort Qi bit her lip and said:
"Your Majesty, Hongshi is now of marriageable age."
But there isn't a proper wife in this household yet, I thought.
"I beg Your Majesty to put in a good word for Hongshi with the Emperor and arrange a suitable marriage for him."
Fucha Peiyun was secretly delighted; this was indeed a good opportunity.
She smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, sister, I've remembered this."
Hongshi is the emperor's favored son, so this marriage cannot be taken lightly.
I will definitely mention this to the Emperor, to find a virtuous and capable wife for Hongshi.”
Upon hearing this, Consort Qi hurriedly curtsied and expressed her gratitude:
"Then I will have to trouble Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent. If Hongshi can obtain such a good match, he will be eternally grateful."
Fucha Peiyun exchanged a few more pleasantries with Consort Qi before seeing her off from Kunning Palace.
After Consort Qi left, Fucha Peijunjun fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, Fucha Peiyun summoned Ye'er.
"Come, follow me to Lingkun Palace."
Ye'er asked, "Would Your Highness like to change your clothes?"
Fucha Peiyun shook her head. "No need. It'll be more convenient to go this way."
After saying that, he took Ye'er to Lingkun Palace.
