Mother doesn't really not tolerate Chu Yuan, but her inability to have a child is her problem, isn't it?
Taking a concubine is a legitimate idea, isn't it?
Just tell your mother the truth: when will you finally take a concubine and fulfill the Song family's duty of continuing the family line?
If you don't tell me, then don't bother burning incense today, and don't ever come to the ancestral hall again. Our Song family doesn't need a heartless, unfilial son like you!
Song Tangyin was completely at a loss for words.
He didn't want to upset his mother, nor did he want to dig a hole for himself, and he certainly didn't want to hurt Chu Yuan.
Song Kangshi's eyes flickered, pleased that she had used the right method.
She knows her own son well; he responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
Seeing this, his tone softened even more, "If Chu Yuan can give birth to a son or daughter for our Song family, I will absolutely forgive and forget what happened before."
Not only that, I also treated her like a precious treasure.
They are always responsive to requests.
The question is, can she even give birth?
"Mother, please give your son some time. I'll think about it some more." Song Tangyin hurriedly slipped away. She had no choice but to deal with it for now.
Back in the bedroom, Song Tangyin hugged Chu Yuan tightly.
The faint scent of sandalwood on him made Chu Yuan guess that he might have gone to the ancestral hall. She reached out and touched his angular face. "Did Mother scold you again?"
"Hmm," Song Tangyin replied listlessly, looking a little down.
Chu Yuan was about to say a few words of comfort to him when she suddenly felt light. Song Tangyin's eyes were like those of a wolf, "Yuan'er, it's my fault, it's my fault for not taking good care of you before. Let's work together, we'll definitely be able to have a child."
This effort lasted for a whole month, without missing a single day.
Chu Yuan's back seems to be in bad shape.
She seriously suspected that Song Tangyin hadn't figured things out before.
They even said they didn't value desires.
It's all bullshit!
But no one expected that on this day, the emperor in the court somehow heard about the situation in Song Tangyin's harem. In front of all the civil and military officials, he asked Song Tangyin with a smile, "My dear Song, I heard that you have been married for five years and do not have a child. Would you like me to bestow a few more concubines and maids upon you so that your Song family may have more children?"
It may seem like a question, but the decision has already been made.
Song Tangyin was the emperor's chosen successor as chief minister, and he would not feel at ease without having spies watching over his right and left hands.
Song Tangyin's heart skipped a beat, filled with worry. If it was someone bestowed by the emperor, he really wouldn't dare not touch them.
what to do?
Just then, Song Kangshi's voice came from outside the hall, "Eunuch Gao, I beg you, I have something important to tell my son. Please call him after court for me."
Eunuch Gao recognized Song Kangshi; there weren't many women who could enter the palace at any time with a gold token, so he respectfully greeted her.
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "Is it Lord Song's family?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Let her in." Even if you're giving someone's son a concubine, you still need to ask their parents' opinion.
In fact, what the Emperor was thinking was that it didn't matter whether Song Tangyin was willing or not, as long as Song Kangshi wouldn't refuse.
When she was summoned in and questioned, Song Kangshi's face showed no joy, but rather obvious shock. "Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law has just been found to be pregnant..."
