"Mother is right. It is because of the lack of a son or daughter that father had to let the second son be inferior to his son. But then again, I'm sure Concubine Shu and the second son are also very anxious, not to mention that Concubine Hui's belly is getting bigger day by day. So they thought of such a despicable method," Zhong Mingzheng sneered. At the same time, he looked at Zhao. "Mother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Zhao didn't understand: "It's just that he took the rejuvenation pill. Even if he made a scene in front of your father, he would just give him a few words of reprimand and at most ask him to reflect on his mistakes for half a month. How can it be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
"Mother, the reason why father likes the second son is simply because he is low-key and quiet, and he is not the kind of person who would do anything reckless. His second son's harem is famously quiet. Apart from Zou, there is only a maidservant brought by Zou as a dowry. And there is also a concubine given by the Concubine Shu," Zhong Mingzheng said slowly. "He is a son of a phoenix and a grandson of a dragon, at the age of the most vigorous. There are only three women in the harem, and my son heard that the second son rarely goes back to the harem. Mother, do you think there is a possibility that the second son...is not in poor health, but is not good with women?"
Zhao was startled for a moment, and then she was dumbfounded: "You mean to say that the Prince of Hui is actually... a homosexual?!"
"I don't know whether he is a homosexual or not. I only know that he doesn't care about women, and he has been married for seven years but still has no children. Now he has even taken rejuvenation pills, but there is no movement." Having said this, Zhong Mingzheng paused, took a sip of tea, and smiled smugly and sinisterly, "Mother, do you think the second son is a homosexual?"
After a long silence, Zhao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether he is or not. What matters is that the emperor thinks he is."
"Mother, you really touched my son's heart," Zhong Mingzheng raised his eyebrows and smiled gently, "Once father decides that the second son is a slut who can't live without a man, I'm afraid he will never want to look at the second son again from now on, not to mention that he will be entangled in his heart about who should live in the East Palace."
"Yes, once we get rid of the troublesome Prince Hui, we will naturally feel at ease," Zhao said calmly, standing up and walking to the screen, gently stroking the lifelike peony flowers on it, "Compared to that bitch and the lowly embryo in her belly, Prince Hui and Concubine Shu are naturally our biggest troubles."
What Zhao said was right. What does it matter if Huipin is favored? Her status is there. Even if she is lucky enough to give birth to a healthy prince who is loved by Zhong Zhiheng, Zhong Zhiheng must be over 50 years old. His health has been declining recently. How difficult would it be to bring a swaddled baby into the East Palace smoothly? What's more, there are two princes with more noble status and capital in front of them, Zhong Mingzheng and Zhong Mingrong?
Zhong Mingzheng also stood up, walked slowly to the screen, stood side by side with Zhao, and said with a smile: "So mother, please don't be angry about that bitch anymore. When your son ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, how to deal with that bitch and that little bitch is just a matter of your word, mother."
"Yes, you are my hope," Zhao smiled as she looked at Zhong Mingzheng. She straightened his collar and said, "Give me and the emperor a few more big fat grandchildren while you are still young and strong. Once he is completely disappointed with Prince Hui, he will be happy to see a bunch of big fat boys in your house."
"Yes, son, I'll remember it." Zhong Mingzheng bowed and agreed.
"Is Da'an okay?" Zhao suddenly frowned and asked, "How come I have heard a lot about her deeds? Is she restless in the backyard again?"
When mentioning Da An, Zhong Mingzheng's face immediately turned black. "She has never been a good-tempered person. Now that she has given birth to the little prince, her temper has inevitably become even worse. My son has long been impatient with her, but my father seems to value her very much, so my son naturally doesn't know how to punish her. If she makes a fuss, it will reach my father's ears."
