Chapter 217: The Divine Will is Unpredictable
Concubine Wu was a little impatient, "Is the child born by an ordinary concubine worthy of being my grandson?" Her words were a bit self-contradictory, and the Crown Princess couldn't help laughing in her heart.
Princess Xia Xuan of Prince Duan was isolated and helpless. When she saw Prince Duan Rong Jinqi flirting with his childhood sweetheart cousin, her heart suddenly turned cold and trembled, but she calmed down instead.
Seven years after their marriage, her husband realized that she was really infertile and no longer treated her the same way as before.
So she bowed gracefully and said, "Mother, I am not a jealous person. Since you, mother, do not approve of the son of an ordinary concubine, then I will leave the house on my own initiative. Please ask Your Highness to divorce me." Ha, did she really think that her biological father, the Minister of Rites, was useless?
Concubine Wu's face darkened, "Are you threatening me?" She knew, of course, that Princess Duan was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites. Even if she was dissatisfied with him, she would never do anything openly. You know, Prince Duan was observing government affairs in the Ministry of Rites.
She also seized on the fatal weakness of Princess Duan, who was unable to give birth. How could a minister manage the affairs of the royal family?
But divorce was impossible in the royal family. There was no divorce, only death from illness.
When Princess Duan Xia Xuan said this, wasn't she forcing her to execute her? But in this way, everyone would know that if anything happened to Princess Duan, it must have been done by Concubine Wu.
At this time, Prince Duan Rong Jinqi finally stopped being a wooden man. He said: "Mother, your son and I are still young, there is no need to rush." His eyes darkened, and he looked at Princess Duan with a gentle smile.
But Princess Duan Xia Xuanxin is already dead, what's the use of her husband? Did he protect her behind his back?
At this time, Rong Yue, Su Zhenzhen, Rong Jinchen and others arrived.
After everyone had exchanged greetings, Rong Yue asked calmly, "What are you talking about? Let me hear it too." He had already heard the general idea. Rong Yue was furious. A legitimate son was a legitimate son. How could a bastard's son be given the title of legitimate son?
He was born as a legitimate son, and later he was named the crown prince and became the emperor. His own crown prince was also a legitimate son, and his beloved youngest son was also a legitimate son. He looked down upon this practice of replacing the legitimate son with a concubine's son. What kind of person did he think of him?
When Concubine Wu saw that His Majesty looked unhappy, she immediately realized that His Majesty was a little angry. She must have known what had happened, so she hurriedly bowed and told him the whole story.
Su Zhenzhen was speechless. What? Was it always the woman's fault if she couldn't have children? Why didn't they consider whether it was due to harem infighting or a lack of chemistry between the man and the woman?
But then I realized that this was ancient times, and having no children was a sin.
Seeing her drooping eyelashes, Rong Jinchen stretched out his big hand, held her soft little hand, and silently comforted her.
Rong Yue sneered, and the atmosphere in the hall was so quiet that only the sound of music could be heard. After a moment's silence, he said, "The third brother and his family are still young. I want to have a legitimate grandson. Concubine Wu, do you understand?" Concubine Wu's face turned pale, and the expressions of Prince Jin, Prince Duan, Prince Chu and others also changed.
The ministers and their wives all looked at each other in confusion. What does His Majesty mean?
Didn’t he also give additional gifts to the King of Jin and the King of Chu when he gave out rewards earlier?
Now you're focusing on the legitimate heir? No, Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Don't play dumb!
Princess Duan Xia Xuan smiled. Her life was indeed not that hard. With her father's words in mind, what was she afraid of?
Su Zhenzhen silently shouted in her heart: Father is mighty! Although this art of checks and balances is also very proficient, a bit like PUA, here is a slap in the face and a sweet date.
Rong Yue looked at Su Zhenzhen again and supported her openly, "Zhenzhen girl, don't feel pressured. You and Chen'er have only been married for less than two years. It took me six years to have the prince after being married to the queen. It doesn't matter if you never have children in your life. Your task is to take care of my Chen'er and make him happy. I will protect you all my life." These words were even more fatherly than those of a biological father. Su Zhenzhen was stunned where she was.
Everyone in the hall gasped, Oh my god!
Is this still the same decisive and dictatorial Majesty? Your Majesty, could you please stop being so controlling?
They were really afraid that the prince's party would fight with the King of Jin and the King of Chu to the end, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan would reap the benefits.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is a love-brained person who took the initiative to ask for a lifelong partnership, thus cutting off the possibility of succession to the throne. Otherwise, there would be no place for anyone else.
You know, Your Majesty and Empress Yuanyi were very much in love back then, but they had no children for five years. Your Majesty could not withstand the pressure from the late emperor and court officials, so he took a concubine.
After a while, Su Zhenzhen rubbed her eyes uncontrollably. Luckily, she'd been lazy and didn't put on makeup today, otherwise she'd look like a cat. She choked up, "Father, how can you be so kind? I must have done so much good in my past life to have such a kind father like you!" He was truly the best father and father-in-law she'd ever met.
Even Su Zhenzhen had to admit that she benefited greatly from Rong Jinchen's influence. No one could match her father's love for Rong Jinchen.
No, maybe Rong Jinchen can, after all, it is exaggerated to love the whole family of a love-brained person.
Rong Jinchen's eyes showed some emotion, "Father, I will definitely take Qingqing with me and rely on you for the rest of my life!" Fortunately, he had such a good father and died a long and happy death.
The others had received so much information today that they were in a daze when the palace banquet ended and had not yet come to their senses.
Is there really a father in this world who loves his son so much that he doesn't even want a grandson?
When Su Zhenzhen returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, she got off the carriage and stretched out her arms for Rong Jinchen to hug her. She was so happy today that she wanted to sing.
Seeing her beaming little face, Rong Jinchen couldn't help but carry her in his arms as a princess and carried her all the way into their Langhuan Garden.
Su Zhenzhen sat on the bed and let the man untie the fox fur cloak with white fox fur inside the bright red feather satin. She was very happy as her little feet wiggled up and down.
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips, looked up at the girl who couldn't help humming, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her cherry lips, capturing her sweet breath.
The girl's neck was supported by the man's big hand, and her two soft little arms climbed on his strong shoulders and spine. She had wrapped herself around him like a koala.
After a long time, the two separated, and low gasps and charming moans sounded in the air filled with pink bubbles. Su Zhenzhen lay limply on the bed, her peach blossom eyes were misty, and her cheeks were flushed with pink clouds, bright and beautiful.
The man's voice was tender and hoarse, "Qingqing, are you so happy?" His big hands couldn't help but trace the girl's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and he looked at her with doting eyes.
Su Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved, "Happy, very happy, very happy, I think the emperor is as good as my dad, he is so good!" Even her father might not be able to accept her not having children in her life.
But because the emperor loves Rong Jinchen, he considers Rong Jinchen's feelings and respects his ideas. Rong Jinchen must have talked to him privately, which is why the emperor is so open-minded.
"Husband, it's great to marry you." Su Zhenzhen's words were very sincere, and Rong Jinchen's eyes deepened...
