108 Chapter 108 Petition (1/2)
Inside the imperial study, Feng Jun Yi is reading the official reports handed by his subject during that day's morning court. Xu Yichen, as usual, is with him helping him decide the empire's affairs since he is after all his adviser and right hand man.
”Your majesty, Princess Xing already arrived and is currently with the empress. Aren't you worried?” Xu Yichen suddenly asked.
Feng Jun Yi didn't even raise his head when he replied. ”Zhen is worried. But zhen also trusts Lian'er. She isn't weak physically and mentally. Even if the princess is a friend or foe, she can definitely handle it.”
'Since when did you became a proud and doting husband?' Xu Yichen thought. Then he took a scroll inside his robes and handed it to Feng Jun Yi. ”Now that the Princess is in the palace and is soon to be married to you your majesty, the officials made this petition. They are hoping you won't get offended your majesty. They took all the courage they have to make this.”
”What is this?” Feng Jun Yi took and read the scroll. It stated the demands of the officials. First, they hope that despite the fact that the new concubine is a princess, the position of the empress should remain at Lin Xulian's hands. Second, the first prince should be mothered by the empress. Third, no matter who would become the heir he should never be the Princess's child.
Feng Jun Yi raised his eyebrows after reading the officials' demands. These conditions pretty much summed up the negotiation he had with Emperor Xing. The exception is that he has no plan to have a child with anyone else aside from Lin Xulian. He purposely hidden these from the officials so that it won't cause a commotion in the court.
After all, most of them are still hoping that the emperor would still take in a few more concubines in the future. If they knew that he has no plans in having a child from other woman aside from the empress, this would cause a lot of dissatisfaction. But to think that even the officials approved that Lin Xulian should remain as the empress, he felt relieved.
”Although in reality Zhen never planned to have a child with the Princess, you can tell the officials that these are already considered done and approved.” `Feng Jun Yi said while handing the scroll back to Xu Yichen.
”Anyway your majesty, can this subject be bold enough and ask a personal question?”
Feng Jun Yi felt skeptical hearing the tone of Xu Yichen's voice. ”Go ahead.”
”How far have you gone with the empress, your majesty?”
”W-why do you ask?” Feng Jun Yi replied awkwardly.
