Chapter 359 The Royal Heir Issue
With the posting of the golden list, the first spring examination officially came to an end after the establishment of the Daxin Dynasty.
Qiu Minghuan, the top scholar, also became the most popular figure in Shengjing City.
It turned out that many noble families wanted to win him over and form an in-law relationship with him.
I never thought this person was once the queen's lover...
Who would dare to marry him?
What if I anger the Queen...
However, this also brought back the thoughts that had arisen and then been suppressed during the New Year's Eve banquet.
After all, this rumor has been circulating for a long time, and His Majesty has not stepped forward to stop it.
So it’s probably true.
In that case...
They sent many men into the palace, but Shang Xi returned them all intact.
So at the morning court, someone reprimanded Shang Xi for not having any tolerance as the emperor's husband!
"What's more, he is a descendant of the Shen family. Who knows what his intentions are in lurking around Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been countless cases of favored concubines bringing disaster upon the country and the people. Your Majesty, you must not do this at the beginning of the Great New Dynasty!"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She wanted to laugh when she heard it.
I wonder what kind of expression Xu Linghui would have when he knew that he was described as a seductress.
Xiao Ning looked at the lord who was speaking passionately below and said with a smile: "Since the lord is so concerned about my bedroom affairs, I can't be too indifferent."
"How about this, sir? I heard that besides your wife, you have eight concubines. How about this? I will send a dozen strong men to your house to entertain the ladies. What do you think?"
grown ups:"……"
The adult's face looked extremely ugly.
Xiao Ning continued, "As for the remnants of the Shen family you mentioned..."
"Do you really want me to settle accounts with the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
She was smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were inexplicably cold and sharp, which made people feel scared.
No one present dared to let her investigate.
Because they are all remnants of the previous dynasty.
Some old ministers even participated in the late emperor's murder of General Zhenbei.
So they changed the subject and said, "Even if Your Majesty favors the Imperial Consort, you should still consider the Imperial Heir!"
They have been married for more than six years and have been on the throne for more than eight months, but His Majesty is still not pregnant.
Makes people think more...
After all, a girl should be married at the age of fifteen, and should have a child at the age of seventeen or eighteen. And this Majesty...
"Yes, Your Majesty, the royal heir is the foundation of the country!"
All the ministers knelt on the ground.
Xiao Ning looked at the hypocritical ministers below and smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not even twenty-four yet. It won't be too late to raise the issue of the royal heir when I'm forty. Are you cursing me to die early by shouting now?"
The ministers: “…”
Forty years old...
Can an old clam produce pearls?
How can a woman give birth to a child when she is forty?
I don’t know what kind of magic potion that prince has poured into His Majesty to make him stay with him so wholeheartedly.
"Your Majesty, you are different from men. How can you talk about having children at the age of forty..."
Xiao Ning said, "If you can't have children, then adopt one. This is my kingdom, I'm not anxious, so why are you anxious?"
The ministers: “…”
Of course, I am anxious to send her a man.
It would be best to have another child with their blood.
…
Shang Xi has been very angry these days. Those old thieves can't stand seeing him doing well. They want to send men to Xiao Ning every day. He sends away one batch, and they send another batch!
Now, rumors are spreading everywhere inside and outside the palace that he is jealous.
It is said that he has been holding on to His Majesty and has not had any children in six years of marriage. He is afraid that there is something wrong with his health.
Shang Xi doesn't care about the reputation of being jealous.
But he really had a health problem, which was why she couldn't have a child...
Now Xiao Ning is still being influenced by public opinion and is bullied in the court every day.
Shang Xi didn't want to share Xiao Ning with anyone else at all.
But someone has to inherit Daxin's kingdom...
Shang Xi was irritated and in pain. He said to Furong, "Is there still no news about that miraculous doctor named Yu?"
Furong shook her head.
Since she took over Shengjing, she has sent more people to look for the genius doctor Yu, but it has been a year and there has been no news.
She felt sorry for Shang Xi and comforted him, "Didn't His Majesty say that even if there are no children in the future, we can just adopt one? Don't worry about it. Compared to his offspring, I think His Majesty cares more about you."
It was precisely because Xiao Ning cared about him that he felt even worse.
She is obviously kind and upright, but because of him, she is compared to a tyrant.
"Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine..."
A palace maid came in carrying medicine.
Shang Xi frowned and said, "Put it down."
The palace maid put down the medicine bowl and left. Furong skillfully took out a small box of candied fruit and placed it next to Shang Xi.
Shang Xi didn't say anything else. He picked up the medicine bowl, frowned, drank the medicine, and picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth.
After the bitter taste in his mouth subsided, Shang Xi closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and ordered Furong, "Call all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital."
Furong knew what he wanted to do immediately, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
She said yes and left.
Soon all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau came over, including Lu Li.
Ever since Xiao Ning ascended the throne, Lu Li passed the medical examination and entered the Imperial Hospital. Dean Hu saw that this girl was indeed talented, and since she had a close relationship with the new emperor, he accepted her as his apprentice.
Now she is in the Imperial Hospital and is very successful.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Li put down the medicine box, walked over to Shang Xi, and subconsciously felt his pulse.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt a steady and smooth pulse.
Suddenly all the imperial doctors were called over. She thought something had happened, and several old imperial doctors came running over.
Shang Xi observed her expression and asked, "How am I feeling?"
Lu Li said, "It's nothing, just a bit of liver fire. Just be careful not to get angry too much."
Shang Xi said, "You go out first."
Lu Li: “?”
No, what do you mean by let her go out first? Why should we let her go out?
Furong came to Lu Li and whispered, "Doctor Lu, I'm sorry, it may not be convenient for us to be present next time. Please don't be offended. Please go out with me."
Lu Li: “…”
Thinking of the rumors that had been circulating recently, she turned to look at Shang Xi, then left with Furong.
"Hu Yuanzheng, please help me take a look."
Hu Yuanzheng bowed and stepped forward to take Shang Xi's pulse.
Shang Xi looked at him and whispered, "Hu Yuanzheng is wondering if it's possible for me to have children with my body..."
Hu Yuanzheng: “…”
In fact, the medicine Shang Xi had been taking was not a tonic, but a medicine that he had taken according to Xiao Ning's instructions to remove toxins from his body...
His Majesty said that the Emperor must not know about this matter.
So he told no one.
Having been in the palace for a lifetime, he is very tight-lipped, so naturally there is no way he could make any mistakes.
Seeing that Hu Yuanzheng didn't say anything, Shang Xi smiled bitterly.
"Director, there's no need to do this. I'm well aware of my condition. Can you see if there's anything you can do to help me recover?"
Hu Yuanzheng bowed and said, "I will do my best."
