Chapter 438

She was not Fang Hanjun. Fang Hanjun may have been miserable in Yuzhou but after coming to the capital, it was different. She was protected by the emperor and the empress dowager.

So, what if she has been married before, the emperor could always choose a suitable marriage for her in the future. As long as the emperor was in power, Fang Hanjun’s life would always go peacefully and smoothly.

She was different from Fang Hanjun, it does not matter if she was the legitimate first daughter. In her father’s eyes, she was worse than a concubine born from a cheap servant!

Tang Fengchun silently drank her tea as the hall returned to its tranquility.

With so many pairs of eyes in the capital watching, these onlookers naturally saw how small the betrothal gifts were and how the ceremony was done in haste. Anyone could imagine the connivance of the imperial clan and the Ministry of Rites, and how the emperor simply made his dislike of the second prince obvious.

In contrast, the Sixth Prince was equally in the limelight at the moment.

Originally, when the emperor left, there were still some people waiting to see the sixth prince to become a laughing stock, wanting to see how a six-year-old child could supervise the country, but it turned out that these days, all political affairs had been handled in a well-organized manner.

“I won’t be going to the main courtyard.” Lord Chengen casually said, and the momo standing guard outside the carriage immediately answered and went to inform Lord Chengen’s wife in the main courtyard.

Lord Chengen went to the outer study alone, as the silver moonlight cast a mottled shadow on his face through sparse branches.

Feeling irritable, Lord Chengen sighed.

During the winter solstice, when he heard the emperor’s decree to marry the second prince and Tang Fengchun at a banquet in Shouning Palace, he was also stunned.

At that time, he did not know what had happened and could only patiently wait for the banquet to end before he went to see Gu Jing. Only then did he understand the circumstances of the drowning incident.

After learning this, Lord Chengen rebuked Gu Jing, thinking that he was too naïve.

The hatred between the emperor and Wang Yu was too deep, and now that Princess Yongle was dead, it was impossible for both sides to shake hands and achieve peace. Gu Jing was being stupid if he actually got involved with Wang Yu!

Moreover, Qin Xin had just become pregnant, so Gu Jing should act lovingly with his concubine as he patiently waited for the birth of the emperor’s first grandson.
