Marry a Duke

Chapter 316: Pure Bad Luck

It took more than half a year for the initial stability to be achieved, but the situation in the court was finally settled.

With a fixed team.

The Duke of Fuguo no longer needs to work hard in the palace every day. Eunuch Liu is still the eunuch in charge of the seal, and Wei Xuan has entrusted him with important tasks.

The only advantage is that the young emperor is young and does not need to worry about the affairs of the harem.

The concubines in the harem were all left behind by the previous emperor.

Those who were willing to leave the palace and return to their mother's family were released.

For those who wanted to leave the palace and live elsewhere, arrangements were made for them one by one.

The few who wanted to stay in the palace also followed the past standards.

The Duke of Fuguo is in charge of government affairs, how dare the concubines in the harem act rashly?

The little emperor's schoolwork was packed, and he only had one day off every ten days.

When Fu Ran heard the news, he wanted to curse Wei Xuan.

"You want to tire the little emperor to death, and then ascend the throne, right?" In the boudoir, it was okay to be a little outspoken. After all, this was a little interest between them.

Wei Xuan had just come out of the shower and was still covered in moisture.

He didn't care and just hugged her in his arms and started to bite her.

"Why? You want to be the queen? If you want to be the queen, I can help you. I can be the queen for a dozen years before the little emperor comes of age, and you can also be the queen for a dozen years to satisfy your own desires."

He said it in a way that sounded real and fake.

Fu Ran thought that as long as she nodded, he would definitely do it.

"Don't do that." She stretched out her hand to cover his mouth. "Wei Xuan, you can't be a traitor. The throne will never be ours. Besides, being an emperor is not an easy thing. You have been working so hard for more than half a year. Do you want to continue to work so hard for decades?"

But he didn't want to be emperor.

Even though she was the only one in the harem, she had no desire to go in and try inside the high palace walls and the many legends that surrounded them.

One does not necessarily have to leave one's name in history books during one's lifetime.

What people know is just a name and a past experience.

She considered herself ordinary and unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

"Really?" He said seductively.

"I really don't want to." Fu Ran replied decisively, "However, the little emperor is only two years old, so don't make things too difficult for him. At least wait until he is three years old."

The poor little emperor didn't even have a childhood.

I don’t even have any memories of my childhood, but my schoolwork was arranged so neatly.

"He can learn what he should learn now, and take on responsibilities sooner. When he turns fifteen, the government will be returned to him." Unexpectedly, Wei Xuan also wanted to pass the buck.

Yes, if you carry such a big pot for more than ten years, your back will be bent.

"Then you should try your best. You can't arrange everything for him from morning to night. He is not a machine." At the last palace banquet, she heard from Eunuch Liu that the little emperor had to learn to read and recite the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic early in the morning. He couldn't even hold a pen properly, so he had to start practicing calligraphy.

He was also required to spend half an hour every day exercising.

When Fu Ran heard this, he thought it was extremely crazy.

"Think about it, if Shi Wuyou was arranged like this at such a young age, wouldn't you feel distressed at all?" She just wanted him to put himself in other people's shoes.

Wei Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Wuyou is my daughter." Of course, she must be cherished. "She only needs to learn what she wants to learn."

Look how hypocritical he is.

"Wei Xuan, I won't speak for the emperor. I know that the emperor wants to grow up and has many things to experience and learn, but everything has to be done slowly. There is no need to rush. Tomorrow, tell those scholars to reduce their schoolwork by half. Don't let them become tired of studying at such a young age."

Wei Xuan was silent for a moment.

"He dares."

"You--." Is this person stubborn?

"I am the prince's tutor. Most of the time, I teach him personally. Don't worry, I will make decisions based on the situation."

"You must do what you say. He is so young and has such a heavy burden on his shoulders. What if he is suppressed now and doesn't grow taller in the future? What should we do?"

Wei Xuan ignored all this.

However, Fu Ran cared a lot about it.

He thought about it carefully and realized that if the emperor's appearance was really ugly and unsightly, it would be detrimental to the national dignity.

If other countries send envoys here.

The emperor was too ashamed to see anyone.

"I'll make proper arrangements."

He seemed to have listened to him, and Fu Ran was also very happy.

"That's good. Let me tell you, if you have time, bring the little emperor back to your house. He's not much different from Wuyou, and he can play with Nian'er and the others."

At least, the little emperor had a little light in his childhood.

Wei Xuan agreed.

"Okay, stop talking about the emperor. You should focus on your husband and take care of him. Don't think about hanging your heart on another man."

He picked her up and strode to the bed.

Then put her down gently.

Fu Ran hit him angrily.

"The Emperor is still a child, what kind of man is he."

If outsiders knew about this, they would really think she had a man outside.

"No matter how young he is, he is still a boy. Am I wrong?" There was fire in his eyes and he pressed forward. Fu Ran didn't dare to say anything.

There was no time to say anything more.

However, Wei Xuan did listen to her and would take the little emperor out of the palace three to five times a month, allowing the little emperor to play well with Wuyou and Wei Nian in the Duke's Mansion.

Yuchi Xinxin got to know many people in Beijing and originally wanted to compete with Fu Ran.

Now, Wei Xuan is the Duke of Fuguo and Fu Ran is a first-rank lady, so she can’t do anything about it.

So, she could only vent her anger on Shen Yan.

Mrs. Shen really couldn't stand her temper.

Let Shen Yan divorce his wife.

Shen Yan really divorced Yuchi Xinxin on the grounds of jealousy and gossip, one of the seven grounds for divorce.

I thought Yuchi Xinxin would be sad and go to Chen Yuanhou’s mansion.

But I don’t——

Then she got married again.

She married the son of Grand Tutor Xun, and Shilang Xun was his second wife.

Minister Xun has one son and two daughters. His wife died of illness a year ago. It is unknown when she started having an affair with Minister Xun.

It was not disappointing at all.

The Shen family finally had some peace and quiet.

Shen Yan can't forget his old love for Wei Lin.

Although he and Yuchi Xinxin got married, they were never really husband and wife. Things had been so ugly at the beginning that he had no face to see Wei Lin again.

but--

He heard that Wei Lin was seeing someone recently.

He was single again, and so he became anxious.

As soon as he was free, he would run to the Duke's Mansion.

Wei Lin was annoyed with him because he kept coming to her house, so she kicked him out and told the doorman not to let him in.

"You can't lock him up. Our store is open now, and you have to go to the store. If he can't find you at the Duke's Mansion, he will definitely come to the store to find you. There are so many customers in the store, are you really going to break up with him?"

Fu Ran felt that this time, Shen Yan might not give up so easily.

His eyes were particularly determined.

She still felt quite sympathetic towards her cheap cousin.

From beginning to end, he was the most innocent person.

It wasn't his fault that Wei Lin divorced him.

It wasn't his fault that Yuchi Xinxin wanted to marry him.

He was just plain unlucky.
