Upon learning that the somewhat unfortunate Fu Qing was granted a marriage, Song Ci remarked to Nanny with some sentiment.
"The Emperor finally did something a human would do."
Nanny nearly covered her mouth, shaking her head and scolding, "Grand Madam."
This one dares to say anything, not the least bit afraid of being overheard by walls.
Song Ci chuckled awkwardly, "A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."
But it was indeed a bit unexpected. Some emperors don't care whether you're betrothed or not; even if you are, as long as the Emperor wants it, as soon as he opens his mouth, the minister must comply, then it'll be as if nothing happened, and you wouldn't be granted another marriage as compensation.
So, in a way, Emperor Chu is doing okay as an emperor.
"It's also that Miss Fu has that good fortune. Some people, once taken away, it's just taken." Nanny said.
