Chapter 695: No more descendants

"My idea was known to the maids. To please me, they secretly taught Qian'er to call me grandmother."

"But I told Qian'er that he can only call me that when it's just him and me."

"I didn't expect that Qian'er would say something out of the blue in front of everyone today."

Prince Gongxuan said coldly, "You are putting all the blame on the maids. You still think you are not at fault at all, right?"

Aunt Deng shook her head repeatedly: "No, I am also wrong. I shouldn't have asked Qian'er to call me grandmother in private. I know this is a crime of great disrespect, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

The princess looked at Aunt Deng coldly.

As expected, as you get older, you become more thoughtful.

Learn to retreat when advancing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tangqi also admitted his mistake. "Father, Mother, if a son is not well-disciplined, it is the fault of the father. Qian'er made the mistake today because of me. I beg you to punish him. Please forgive him. He...he is my only son after all. If I scare him, what will I do in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Gongxuan became even more furious. Without thinking, he stepped forward and kicked Chen Tangqi, mocking him, "Do you think I don't understand what you mean? Aren't you reminding me that I only have you as my son and Qian'er as my grandson. If something happens to Qian'er and you can't have another child, I will be childless. Are you asking me to be more merciful to him?"

The princess was silent.

The prince is still not confused.

Shen Tangqi's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down obediently. "Father, I absolutely did not mean that. You are in good health, and it is only a matter of time before a child is born in the palace."

As he spoke, Chen Tangqi couldn't help but express his grievances, his voice lowering a few degrees. "I really can't have children. Since I was fifteen, my aunt, with my mother's permission, has arranged no less than ten concubines for me. However, only my principal wife gave birth to Qian'er seven years ago. Since then, I haven't had any children, and there hasn't even been a pregnant woman in the backyard."

"Qian'er is my only child. I'm really worried about him, not just reminding you."

Seeing that Shen Tangqi was speaking with such sincerity, if Shen Yunqian had not been so arrogant and rude just now, King Gongxuan might actually believe what he said.

King Gongxuan turned around and said calmly, "I have already issued the order, and there is absolutely no possibility of reversing it. It's only for one month. He is my grandson, and I will not treat him unfairly. You don't have to worry."

Aunt Deng said anxiously: "Your Highness..."

"And more." King Gongxuan interrupted her, "Indeed, if a son is not well-disciplined, it is the fault of the father. Therefore, Shen Tangqi, you should indeed be punished."

"Come here, confine the Second Young Master to Wutong Courtyard and punish him by copying the family rules five hundred times. Without my permission, he is not allowed to leave the courtyard for a month."

"Ms. Deng has disrespected the princess, failed to educate her children properly, and led my son and grandson astray. This is a heinous crime. She shall be punished with fifty lashes of the cane, required to copy the household rules two hundred times, and confined to Green Orchid Court for five years!"

"Everyone who serves Master Qian, the Second Master, and Aunt Deng will be transferred and reassigned!"

Butler Shen: "I will arrange it later."

When Aunt Deng heard this, she thought that she was already a grandmother, but she was still being beaten with a stick. If her grandson and the servants knew about it, how could she still have the face to live?
