Rong Cang frowned: "Male favorite?"
"Yes." Chu Yunfei got up from his arms, walked to the side and sat down, "This matter is not trivial. Once it comes to the emperor, Prince An is afraid that he will not get anything good to eat."
It has always been not uncommon for royal families and powerful people to have male pets as pets. Which official doesn't have a little quirk in private?
It’s just that no one has ever brought it to light.
The Seventh Prince had just been granted the title of Prince of the County and did not receive much preferential treatment from the Emperor. His father-in-law was an important minister in the court and held great power. In addition, the scandal of Prime Minister Jiang's sudden death in the bed of a mistress had just happened some time ago. I'm afraid I'll be even more sensitive to "boys" and "male favorites".
If the Seventh Prince really openly humiliated his wife by raising a male favorite, the civil and military officials of the entire court would definitely impeach him and punish him, and Dou Shangshu would never give up.
The emperor was furious and didn't know what to do with him.
Rong Cang frowned and remained silent, thinking that Rong Li was calm and steady when he usually entered the palace to discuss matters, and he didn't look like a random person.
However, there is indeed a handsome young man beside him. Every time Rong Li comes to the East Palace to discuss matters, the young man will stand calmly outside the meeting hall, looking no different from an ordinary boy.
"I'll ask him early tomorrow morning," Rong Cang said.
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea: "I have asked Mo Yu to leave the palace to explore the situation."
…
When the carriage stopped outside the county prince's palace, Dou Huiran, who was sitting in the car, did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he looked at Rong Li, who was riding in the same carriage with him, and said expressionlessly: "Why didn't the prince enter the palace today?" Bring your personal servant?"
Rong Li, who was about to get up and get out of the car, paused when he heard this and said in a cold voice: "Since he is a servant, why do I have to carry him with me every day?"
A mocking smile appeared on Dou Huiran's face: "Is it because I am entering the palace today and the prince wants him to stay away from me?"
"Dou Huiran, are you going to make trouble unreasonably again?"
"Am I making trouble unreasonably?" Dou Huiran's expression changed, and he suddenly became angry, "Have you forgotten that I am your wife? As a princess, what's wrong with me caring about my husband?"
Rong Li's voice was cold: "I told you before, I will protect your dignity as a wife in front of others. You are the mistress of the palace, and no one will change this -"
"A mistress who is a widow?" Dou Huiran interrupted him, and asked in a slightly tinged voice, "Am I here to be a widow when I marry the prince?"
Rong Li's face darkened and he looked at her expressionlessly.
"I know that the prince doesn't like me. You married me to support the prince. Have you ever thought that if your father knew that you had corrupt personal ethics and openly neglected or even humiliated your wife, would he look on with cold eyes?" Dou Huiran pinched her hand. Pa Zi looked at him with a hurt look on his face, "I don't ask you to love and respect me like the prince loves the princess. I just ask that we act like a normal couple, okay?"
There was no expression on Rong Li's face, and he didn't respond to what Dou Huiran said.
In the closed carriage, time seemed to have stood still. Dou Huiran's face paled little by little, but in the end he just sneered: "I deceived myself. I shouldn't expect too much from a ruthless person."
After leaving these words, she stood up and walked out of the carriage, unwilling to say another word.
Rong Li got off the car without saying a word, Dou Huiran went to the East Courtyard, and Rong Li went to Xiaoxiang Garden.
In the study room of Xiaoxiangyuan, a slender and beautiful young man was sorting out the books and wiping the dust on the bookshelf. As the door opened, he turned to look at Rong Li who was wearing a cold look and walked in. He did not ignore the strong low pressure around him. :"What's wrong?"
Rong Li was about to speak when there was a burst of messy footsteps outside.
"The study is an important place. Princess, please stay."
"There are only two masters in this palace, one is the prince, and the other is me." Dou Huiran looked coldly at the guard blocking the door, "The prince is here alone today and has not discussed anything with anyone. Why can't I come in?"
The guard had only one sentence: "Princess, please stay."
Dou Huiran turned livid with anger and shouted at the door: "Rong Li! You hid that shameful thing in the study, do you think I can do nothing to him? If you don't let me in, I will tell my father now , saying that you have bad conduct, corrupt personal ethics, and have a male favorite in the palace, my father will definitely go to the palace to report to the emperor to see if the emperor will spare you after knowing it!"
The handsome young man clenched the rag in his hand to wipe the dust, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Rong Li walked over and held him in his arms: "Don't think about anything, I will solve everything."
"I want to see her."
Rong Li frowned: "There is no need to conflict with her."
The young man raised his eyes. His cold white skin was more delicate than that of a woman, with almost no flaws visible: "Your Majesty, I can't keep hiding from people."
Rong Li shook his head: "Now is not the time."
"Then when will-"
"Your Majesty is a manly man, so he just hides in the study without seeing anyone?" Dou Huiran said angrily, "If Your Majesty still doesn't let him come out, I will go home and tell my father now."
The young man pushed Rong Li away and walked over to open the door.
Dou Huiran's pupils shrank and she looked at the young man who came out of the study with resentment: "You finally dare to show your face in front of me. I thought you were going to hide until the end of the world."
If the young man in front of him wasn't dressed in men's clothing, how would he be any different from a woman? She has fair skin, extremely beautiful appearance, and a pair of beautiful jewel-like eyes that are cold and cold. He looks at her so aloofly and unavoidably, without any humility or anxiety of being a man's favorite.
Jealousy and hatred surged into Dou Huiran's heart, and she wished she could tear this seductive thing in front of her into pieces!
"The princess asked me to come out, and I have already come out." The young man said in an indifferent voice, "What's the matter?"
Dou Huiran clutched the handkerchief tightly and turned to look at Rong Li angrily: "I want the prince to beat this Israeli servant to death immediately!"
Rong Li stood next to the young man with a protective attitude: "Come here, take the princess back."
The two guards came forward, bowed and said: "Princess, please go back first, here -"
"Rong Li!" Dou Huiran threatened sternly, "You have been neglected for so many years, and you have finally managed to become a county king. Do you really want to ruin it all because of a despicable person?"
Rong Li was disgusted by such hysterical accusations and threats. He put his arms around the young man's shoulders and led him back to the room, not wanting to pay attention to Dou Huiran's ungraceful yelling.
Dou Huiran couldn't believe that he just left.
The study door closed before her eyes again, and she stood in front of the court, feeling as undignified as a clown.
"Why?" She turned pale and murmured in disbelief, "If you are so unwilling to get close to me, why did you marry me in? Why did you destroy me? Rong Li, why did you do this to me? "
