"The princess can take her time to recover, and the prince will not prevent us from having an heir first." The queen on the side suddenly took up the conversation, her face full of concern.
The emperor did not express any reaction to the queen's words, and he obviously agreed with them.
In Xia Luotong's view, the two men had clearly discussed it long ago and chose this moment to attack Wu Zechen together in an attempt to force him to submit.
But knowing that Gui Gui knew, she didn't intend to speak because she wanted to see how Wu Zechen would respond. This was also the issue she was most concerned about.
If he compromised easily and allowed his concubine to enter the palace, then for any reason, she would never give him another chance. Leaving the palace after detoxification would be the only outcome.
Wu Zechen naturally knew that Xia Luotong beside him was watching him, waiting to see how he would deal with it, but he did not panic at all, because he had already made up his mind and would never let her down again.
"With the young master of Baihua Valley here, the princess's body is fine. It will be a matter of time to give birth to an heir. I am not in a hurry."
The princess is fine...?
The queen didn't quite believe this. If it was all right, the princess was the only one beside Prince An now. Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?
In fact, it is not only the queen who thinks so, but also most people in the capital. Otherwise, Princess An would not be able to give birth to an heir. How could the rumor that Prince An intends to take a concubine as a concubine become so popular? Some people even started betting on which girl could become Prince An's concubine!
However, Prince An moved out of the young master of Baihua Valley at this time, but the queen could no longer refute this matter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be questioning the medical skills of Baihua Valley and the ability of the young master of Baihua Valley?
The young master of Baihua Valley said it was okay, but she said no? Given Baihua Valley's status in the hearts of the world, if she dared to say this, her prestige would plummet! You might even be reprimanded by the Emperor and the Queen Mother!
"How can we not be anxious about this matter? You are the emperor's legitimate son, and you are now Prince An, but you still haven't left a queen." The queen said nothing, and the emperor immediately took over with a frown.
"I and the princess will work harder. Besides, this matter can't be rushed." Wu Zechen said calmly.
Try harder...
Xia Luotong didn't react at first, and Wu Zechen's expression was too calm. It took her a while to think about it, and her face suddenly turned red.
The emperor and the queen obviously did not expect Wu Zechen to be so direct. There was a moment of embarrassment, and then the queen continued: "According to regulations, Prince An can have two concubines..."
As soon as the words of Queen Nana's concubine came out, she was interrupted by Wu Zechen. He said with a cold face: "The rule is that the prince can have a concubine, but not that he must have a concubine. It is enough for the king to have a concubine."
She was interrupted mid-sentence, and a look of displeasure flashed across the queen's face. She felt that Prince An didn't take her seriously at all. He had been doing this since he returned to the capital, and he treated the prince like this too. She was a majestic queen! How can one keep such a person who has no understanding of dignity and inferiority? !
As for the statement that only the princess was alone, the queen didn't believe it at all. In her opinion, Wu Zechen was just doing this to prevent them from saying that they would marry someone else again!
The emperor obviously thought so, and he immediately frowned and said with a hint of displeasure: "You are Prince An, how can you be so willful? You should put your heirs first and spread your wings as soon as possible."
The emperor's side is the place that attracts the most attention. Although it is a palace banquet, he cannot completely relax. It is necessary to pay attention to the movements of the Tian family at all times. Therefore, the look on the emperor's face has aroused the attention of many courtiers and women. Notice.
However, although they noticed something strange on the emperor's side, they didn't know what happened. It was masked by the sound of playing music. Everyone only knew that the emperor and the queen were talking to Prince An, and it seemed that they were not having a pleasant conversation.
Although others could not hear clearly, the princes and princesses, as well as the mother and son of Concubine Xu, who were sitting behind the throne, could all hear clearly. Seeing Wu Zechen facing the emperor like this, they all had different expressions on their faces. Different, each has his or her own thoughts.
Although the prince cared more about Wu Zechen, he also paid a lot of attention to Xia Luotong. Looking at the woman in fiery red clothes, at first he only thought that she was a soft and pitiable person, but he did not expect that she turned out to be a Fierce temper, but the more special she is, the more she attracts his attention. Seeing the bright look between her eyebrows, he feels even more itchy.
Getting rid of Prince An cannot be done overnight, but if you want to have a taste of this beauty first, you can think of a way.
It's just that Wu Zechen was very guarded against him. He had rejected several invitations recently, and there was no trace of Princess An, so he could only covet her until now.
Concubine Xu, mother and son could only sit in the seats behind Prince An and his wife. In fact, Prince An was deceased, and Concubine Xu might not be able to attend such a banquet. If Wu Zechen made the decision, he would definitely not They brought the three of them, mother and son, but they received a message directly from the queen.
Originally, Concubine Xu, mother and son looked at Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong sitting in such honorable seats with jealousy and covetous eyes. But now they saw that Wu Zechen dared to openly oppose the emperor's opinion, and they immediately gloated. Get up, wishing that Wu Zechen would be unlucky.
But after a while, they stopped laughing and were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"My father only has his mother and concubine." Wu Zechen responded calmly, his expression unchanged as usual. It was obvious that the emperor's displeasure did not affect him at all.
As soon as these words came out, Princess Xu's face suddenly stiffened as she sat behind Wu Zechen, and an unspeakable feeling of embarrassment and shame filled her chest. She even felt many unclear glances around her, as if they were all laughing at her!
The current Prince An said it so bluntly in public, the old Prince An only has one person, the former princess, so who does she, the concubine, count?
He completely ignored her! Or should I say, he didn’t regard her as the late king’s concubine!
This Wu Zechen has never let her feel comfortable for a day since she returned to Beijing! She can find trouble everywhere! If his son Wu Zhengqing could become Prince An...
"What nonsense! Doesn't your father also have Concubine Xu?" The emperor was also displeased, and he reprimanded in a low voice.
His tone was not too harsh, but an ordinary official would have been so frightened that he would have knelt down to apologize before replying, but Wu Zechen didn't even move his eyebrows and replied simply and rudely: "Father, King Originally, it was planned that the mother concubine would be enough, and there was no thought of having a side concubine as a concubine. Concubine Xu Side was proposed by the queen and given by the emperor, without asking the father's wishes."
