"Mother, I'm not convinced," he said, adding that he was unhappy no matter what anyone said.
Yinyu was dissatisfied. Due to various reasons in his childhood, his health was not very good, so even though he had married a princess, no children were born in the mansion over the years.
The lack of offspring mentioned here does not refer solely to the Fujin (Prince Consort). In addition to the Fujin who was formally married, Yinyu also had many princesses and concubines sent by Tongjia Rongyue.
Tong Jia Rongyue had been mentally prepared for this since Yin Yu was a child. After all, the imperial physicians were not there for nothing. They had to call the imperial physicians every few days. How badly must Yin Yu's health have deteriorated?
Therefore, after Yinyu came of age, no woman who had served him, regardless of her status, took any contraceptive medicine in order to have offspring.
Unfortunately, this relaxed condition was maintained for several years, and it did not change even after the Fujin entered the household, but Yinyu still had no children.
As Yinyu grew older, he became increasingly conflicted about this issue, which led to his increasingly extreme actions.
In the past, Yinyu might not have wanted to get involved in what had just happened in the main hall, but now he wanted to fight for it for himself.
It's not for any other reason than to show off to the Emperor, get his attention, and increase my competitiveness.
What do you want to do?
Tong Jiarongyue could tell that this child was just enjoying a good life and wanted to challenge himself with some difficult tasks.
Rubbing her temples, Tong Jia Rongyue urged Yin Yu to have a child as soon as possible before he could speak.
Yinyu: ...
Unable to catch his breath, Yinyu was fuming, thinking that his mother really didn't know how to talk, always bringing up the most inappropriate topics.
Why does he always have to bring up the issue of having children? Is it something he can just have whenever he wants? His poor health isn't his fault; it's because his mother didn't protect him when he was little. No one else has this problem.
Feeling displeased, Yinyu spoke rudely, retorting with a few harsh words. He also had no interest in telling Tong Jia Rongyue about his well-thought-out plan.
In Yinyu's opinion, his mother was more concerned about the next generation, and he didn't care about himself.
Tong Jiarongyue:......
Hey, who does this cowardly dog take after?
Tong Jiarong felt a pain in her chest, entirely because she was angered by Yin Yu's inconsiderate behavior.
In her view, everything she does is ultimately for the good of her descendants.
Although she doesn't have any grandchildren yet, she's sure she will if she keeps trying.
The mother and son didn't have a pleasant conversation. They seemed to be getting along well at the beginning, but after the meeting, they both turned cold and distant.
Qianli: ...
Qianli waited at the door the whole time, but she had no idea what had happened in the main hall.
However, Qianli knows Tong Jiarongyue well enough to understand what her mistress is thinking.
Alright, it must be that the matter of the child is bothering Prince Yinyu.
That makes sense. Prince Yinyu has been married for several years, but neither his wife nor anyone else has shown any signs of pregnancy. This is not good news.
Leaving aside others, even the crown prince, who doesn't have a son yet, still has several daughters to support.
Apart from Yinqi and Yinsi, who had just gotten married, everyone else also had children.
“Your Majesty, the prince has just returned from the Qianqing Palace and is in a bad mood. Your words are too hasty.”
"Being anxious won't help," Qianli muttered to herself as she brought over a teacup, trying to comfort and persuade her.
Tong Jiarong felt uncomfortable. "If I'm not anxious, this child won't care."
"I've said that one thing can't be decided by a winner or loser, but he just won't give up and always wants to fight and snatch it." She said, "Nothing is more beneficial than having grandchildren. Otherwise, what would we do if we won them over and there were no heirs?"
Qianli: ...My master is getting more and more stubborn as he gets older.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. We should support the prince if he has such a good idea."
Although it may not lead to anything, it's still better than living a muddled life like others. My empress would definitely not accept someone like Prince Yinlu.
Tong Jiarong angrily threw her teacup onto the table. "How can I support him? I think he's just not thinking things through." Supporting him won't bring any results. As long as the First Prince and the Crown Prince remain in power, the Emperor won't even notice the other princes.
“Your Highness, the prince is very perceptive. I think that although we can’t help every time, we can provide assistance as appropriate.”
We are not yet fully aware of the current affairs at court, but with the Tong family's support, it's best not to discourage the prince too much.
Qianli tried her best to persuade Tong Jiarongyue in a tactful way. Although it might not work, she still had to say it, because it was their duty as servants.
Tong Jia Rongyue was already used to what Qianli said. Although they were nominally mistress and servant, they had spent many years together in the harem and were almost like ordinary relatives.
With a long sigh, Tong Jiarongyue waved for Qianli to leave, then got up and went back to her room to rest.
It's impossible for me to back down, but when the time is right, I can still offer some help to Yinyu. After all, they are mother and son, and there's no such thing as holding a grudge overnight.
Qixiang Palace
After returning to the prince's residence, Yinyi and Yinlu felt it was not working, so they turned around and came to Xiuning's place.
Xiuning was currently preparing Bu'er and Dai for marriage, since Kejing was about to get married and after Kejing's wedding, it would soon be Bu'er and Dai's turn.
Xiuning was worried that Bu'er and Dai might feel resentful, since the child always liked to run into Kejing Palace, so she asked Chunyu to find an opportunity to call them back.
"Mother, I understand everything."
Not getting married is definitely not an option, but she also can't bring herself to manage things like her elder sister Ning Chuge.
