Xu Chuchu, who was standing by, saw Lin Xiaoxiang was silent, as if she was thinking about something. The corners of her mouth raised slightly.
That's right, she brought up this matter on purpose just to let Lin Xiaoxiang have such an idea in her mind. Sometimes a thought will be magnified invisibly, leading to unbearable consequences.
Now looking at Lin Xiaoxiang's expression, this idea has probably already formed in her mind, and then her goal has been achieved.
"But I think the concubines in the harem are all chaste and naturally would not have anything to do with lowly people. In this case, it is actually great that these positions can be by our side to protect us." Xu Chuchu continued.
"Ah, of course." Lin Xiaoxiang's thoughts were interrupted. After she came to her senses, she stammered and said this.
After returning to her palace, Lin Xiaoxiang's thoughts were still on Xu Chuchu's words. It must be said that Xu Chuchu's words were indeed tempting.
It was like a person who had been walking in the desert for a long time and finally saw a piece of nectar before his eyes. Naturally, he wanted to pounce on it and drink it up immediately. This was exactly what happened to Lin Xiaoxiang at this moment.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiang felt that she still had to meet her father and let her father put some pressure on the emperor. Then the emperor would surely favor her, and maybe she would become pregnant with a dragon seed, and all her previous thoughts could be discarded.
After the Prime Minister came out of Lin Xiaoxiang's palace, he understood Lin Xiaoxiang's thoughts. He also knew that his daughter was right and he should indeed help her. After all, his daughter and he were one. If his daughter could be favored, give birth to a son or daughter, and have a stable position in the harem, he, as a father, would naturally benefit a lot.
So he agreed to Lin Xiaoxiang's idea after just a brief thought. After leaving Lin Xiaoxiang's palace, he immediately went to the imperial study.
At this time, Situ Yao was handling official business when he heard the eunuch come to report that the Prime Minister requested an audience. He was about to say something when he heard the eunuch say, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has just come out of Concubine Lin's palace."
Oh, I wonder what important matter Lin Chang is looking for her father for. The Prime Minister came to find me immediately after coming out of her daughter's palace. I think the father and daughter must have discussed some ideas. If I don't go to see them, wouldn't it be a waste of their thoughts.
Thinking of this, Situ Yao immediately asked the eunuch to bring the prime minister in.
The Prime Minister bowed to the Emperor, and after a few words of pretense, the Prime Minister finally spoke, "Your Majesty, I have come here to discuss the lack of offspring in the harem."
Situ Yao frowned slightly. It turned out that the Prime Minister wanted to talk to him about this matter.
Just as Situ Yao was pondering this, he heard the Prime Minister continue, "In the harem, there are only the Crown Prince, the daughter of the Empress, and Princess Qiuyue, who is being raised by Concubine Yue. Furthermore, Princess Qiuyue is not the Emperor's child yet, so she cannot be a legitimate princess. This old minister hopes that the Emperor can have more children."
Although Situ Yao did not like ministers interfering in the affairs of his offspring, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what the prime minister did this time. If he said that he was an ordinary person and others said that he had few offspring, he could naturally respond with "None of your business". But he was the emperor and his affairs were state affairs. So if the prime minister advised him to have more children, he could not blame him.
Thinking about the last time he had offended him in front of all the ministers because of Chen Yalan's matter, he could not lose face again this time when he made suggestions in private.
So, Situ Yao nodded and said, "My dear minister, what you said makes sense. I understand."
Hearing the emperor say this, the prime minister immediately smiled and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, it is good that you understand. This old minister is only concerned about this matter at this time. Now that this matter has been made clear, I will not stay in the palace any longer. Farewell."
At night, Situ Yao thought about it and turned over Lin Xiangru's card. Since the Prime Minister came out of Lin Xiaoxiang's palace, it meant that the Prime Minister was putting pressure on him and wanted him to choose Lin Xiaoxiang. However, Lin Xiaoxiang and Lin Xiangru were both Prime Minister's daughters. No matter whether he went to Lin Xiaoxiang or Lin Xiangru, he was giving face to the Prime Minister. It seemed that the Prime Minister had nothing to say.
The next day, Lin Xiaoxiang learned that Situ Yao had stayed at Lin Xiangru's house yesterday, and she was very angry. Why did she let her father put pressure on the emperor, but in the end the person who benefited was Lin Xiangru? It was unfair, it was really too unfair.
Just when Lin Xiaoxiang was angry, the palace maid came to report that Li Eimi had arrived.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiang didn't want to see Li Aimi at all, but Li Aimi had already appeared in her sight.
"I heard that the Prime Minister went to see the Emperor yesterday and told him that he had few children. I didn't expect that the Emperor went to Yuepin's palace at night. It seems that the Emperor intends to let Yuepin give birth to the baby first!" Li Eimi said immediately when she saw Lin Xiaoxiang.
It has to be said that her words stabbed Lin Xiaoxiang's heart like a knife, but this was exactly the effect Li Eimi wanted to achieve.
At this time, she had already understood that in the harem, either others would attack her, or she would attack others. So why not take the initiative into her own hands, so as not to suffer losses without knowing who did it.
So after learning about this yesterday, she waited until dawn and immediately came to Lin Xiaoxiang to deliberately mock her.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Xiaoxiang's face immediately darken. Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiang was about to lose his temper, she immediately laughed and said, "But I have also heard that Concubine Lin and Concubine Yue have the same father and mother. No matter who the emperor favors, it makes no difference to you."
Having said that, both of them knew very well in their hearts that Lin Xiangru was Lin Xiangru and Lin Xiaoxiang was Lin Xiaoxiang, and the two should not be confused.
So after hearing what Li Eimi said, Lin Xiaoxiang became even angrier, but what made her even more annoyed was that she couldn't get angry at this time, but instead had to agree with her with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiang's anger was rising rapidly, but she had to put on a smile and pretend to be nice to her, Li Eimi found it very funny.
Just before Lin Xiaoxiang's anger was about to explode, Li Eimi tactfully said goodbye.
"What a person! She comes to show off in front of me. I'm not favored, so how is she better than me? She's just a newcomer to the palace, yet she dares to mock me." After Li Eimi left, Lin Xiaoxiang could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She swept a vase off the table and cursed.
