Seeing this, the Prime Minister's disciples all knew that the Emperor was serious this time. They looked at the Prime Minister, shook their heads helplessly, closed their mouths, and said nothing.
With his head lowered, the Prime Minister listened silently to Situ Yao's angry scolding of him. He looked around but found that no one wanted to stand up and say a word for him.
After the court session, the prime minister returned to his residence in anger.
The Prime Minister's wife was in a good mood today. When she saw the Prime Minister coming back, she immediately greeted him with a smile: "Master, you are back."
"Laugh, laugh, laugh. What are you laughing at? What's so funny? You don't do any work all day long. You just stay in the backyard. Look at others and then look at yourself. How can you compare to them?" Facing the Prime Minister's wife who was coming towards him, the Prime Minister's anger suddenly exploded like a lit firecracker.
What was going on? The Prime Minister's wife was scolded by the Prime Minister for no reason and was still stunned, not knowing what was going on.
However, the Prime Minister's wife was confused, but the Prime Minister's scolding had not stopped.
Gradually, the Prime Minister's wife heard from the Prime Minister some words about the harem, Chen Yalan, who was brave and resourceful, and was favored by the emperor.
The Prime Minister's wife was not a fool. After thinking about it carefully, she figured it out. It seemed that all this started from the harem.
After thinking it through, the Prime Minister's scolding stopped. The Prime Minister's wife glanced at the Prime Minister's face and said, "Master, I know you are upset, but why do you treat me like this? The affairs of the harem are not something I can control."
After venting his anger, the Prime Minister's anger had disappeared, and he also knew that it was inappropriate for him to scold his wife for no reason.
Hearing his wife say this again, the Prime Minister touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Okay, I don't blame you for this."
No matter what, he is the head of the family. Even if he was wrong to scold his wife for no reason, he cannot admit it.
The Prime Minister's wife had long known what kind of character the Prime Minister was. Seeing him like this, she knew he wouldn't admit his mistake. She sighed helplessly and said, "Master, my two daughters have been in the palace for some time now. I haven't seen them for a long time and I miss them very much. I want to go to the palace to visit them."
He felt a little sorry for his wife just now, but now that he heard his wife's request, he naturally couldn't refuse and had to agree.
The carriage slowly arrived outside the palace gate, and the Prime Minister's wife got off the carriage and sat in the sedan chair beside it. Four sedan bearers carried the Prime Minister's wife to Lin Xiaoxiang's palace.
The Prime Minister's wife had not seen her daughter for a long time. When she saw Lin Xiaoxiang, her eyes were sore and she almost shed tears.
"Xiaoxiang, are you okay?" the Prime Minister's wife asked.
After the mother and daughter chatted about some family matters, the Prime Minister's wife spoke up, "My son, you've been in the palace for a while now. You need to find a way to get pregnant soon and improve your status in the harem so that you can gain a firm foothold."
Hearing her mother say this, Lin Xiaoxiang felt a little impatient. How could she not want to be pregnant? How could she not want to improve her status?
However, the emperor had little interest in her, and she had been in the palace for such a long time, but she had rarely received the emperor's favor.
Although he was impatient, the person in front of him was his mother after all, so Lin Xiaoxiang still said to his mother in a humble manner, "I understand."
After the Prime Minister's wife left, Lin Xiaoxiang curled up on the chaise longue, thinking about what her mother had just said.
Although Lin Xiangru was his sister, the relationship between him and her was like water and fire. Moreover, she had Princess Qiuyue by her side, so naturally she was unwilling to find a way to win the emperor's favor for him.
Since his sister couldn't help him, Lin Xiaoxiang began to turn his attention to other people.
Finally, she thought of Xu Chuchu.
Ever since the Prime Minister's wife came to visit Lin Xiaoxiang, the relationship between Lin Xiaoxiang and Xu Chuchu has become closer.
One day, Lin Xiaoxiang watched the relationship between the two grow better and better, so she pretended to sigh casually: "Alas, my mother came to the palace to visit me some time ago. She is old and only wants me to give birth to a child. But you also know that the emperor does not have much affection for me. He has not come to my palace recently. How can I have the chance to conceive a dragon heir?"
After saying this, Lin Xiaoxiang even pretended to shed a tear. Seeing this, Xu Chuchu immediately covered her hand with hers and patted her affectionately: "Don't be like this. There are so many women in the harem, and the emperor naturally can't take care of everyone. Not to mention you, even I haven't seen the emperor in a few days."
It seemed that he was trying to comfort Lin Xiaoxiang, but the meaning of his words was to show off that although he was not favored by the emperor, he could still let the emperor into his room.
How could Lin Xiaoxiang not understand what was meant? She felt choked up and wanted to scold Xu Chuchu to vent her anger, but she knew she couldn't do that.
Blinking her eyes, Lin Xiaoxiang looked at Xu Chuchu with curiosity: "Don't you feel it's unfair, Concubine Xu? You are a noble lady in the harem, and your status is one of the best, but the emperor hasn't been able to visit your room many times. I am just a concubine, and it's okay that I am not favored by the emperor. But you are a noble lady, so doesn't the emperor give you some face?"
Her words were like stabbing a knife into Xu Chuchu's heart, but at the same time, she acted as if she was doing this for your own good, so that Xu Chuchu could not get angry.
Xu Chuchu only now understood what it meant to reap what one sowed. She had just been comforting her in public but mocking her in private, but Lin Xiaoxiang immediately retaliated and pretended to be understanding and asked her questions.
Thinking of what Lin Xiaoxiang had just said, Xu Chuchu's eyes turned and an idea came to her mind.
"Look at those guards. They shouldn't be in the harem. What if some concubines hang out with the guards and have children?" Xu Chuchu pointed at a team of guards passing by and changed the subject.
Guards? Lin Xiaoxiang followed Xu Chuchu's fingertips and saw a team of armored guards disappear in a flash.
A bold idea popped into her mind. Yes, if she and the guard had sex, conceived a child, and then chose a time to have the emperor stay in her room for a night, then the child would be the emperor's heir, and no one would doubt it.
No, no, no, how could she think of such a thing? Lin Xiaoxiang shook her head. This thing was too bold. What had possessed her just now that she actually thought about this problem?
