"Did Prince Ning give something to his mother and concubine again?" Concubine Zhao Xian said with a smile after hearing the news, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is really filial."
Concubine Zhao Xian may not have a good impression of Concubine Yun. You must know that she was also named a concubine soon after entering the palace, and she was still the first of the six concubines.
Among the six concubines of the Xian Shu Yi De Li Rong, she was the first to be named a virtuous concubine, and she was also the first of the six concubines. She had suppressed Concubine Yun for so many years, but she didn't expect that bitch of the Yun family to be named a concubine a few years ago.
The sub-level passed her.
Concubine Zhao Xian really disliked Concubine Yun. After hearing the news from Prince Ning and Baifu Palace, her mood became even worse.
However, Concubine Zhao Xian has been immersed in the palace for many years, and on the surface, there is nothing wrong with her expression. She still has a gentle look on her face.
"Our Highness Prince Ning is really filial. He sends things to the palace from time to time. He is so filial." Concubine Zhao Xian said with a smile, "It was a pity that His Highness Prince Ning was not in Chang'an in the past. Concubine Yun of Baifu Palace should pay less.
How many things did you bring?”
It seems that Yan Lizhou was not filial before and did not know how to send things to Baifu Palace, but now that he is staying in Chang'an, he deliberately sends things to show his filial piety and improve his reputation.
In the past, Concubine Zhao Xian was very fond of schadenfreude. Yan Lizhou left Chang'an at a young age and never came back. But after her son was granted the title of king and went to the fiefdom to become a vassal, she could no longer gloat about schadenfreude.
Especially now, Yan Lizhou is staying in Chang'an because she is injured and needs recuperation, but her son continues to return to the fiefdom.
This made Concubine Zhao Xian even more unhappy. She looked at her confidant and said, "It has been three months since Concubine Ning came in, right? I haven't heard any good news yet. This is not good."
"Prince Ning's knees are still empty, and he has not even had a son or a daughter. It is really pitiful. He is already so old and still has no children. How can this be done?"
"Children of the royal family have a heavy responsibility to continue to produce heirs for the royal family. It is really not good to have an empty child at the knees of Prince Ning. It is time for His Highness to worry about it." Concubine Zhao Xian said as if she was thinking about Yan Lizhou.
"The empress is saying that she is sending a beauty to Prince Ning?" a confidant asked.
Concubine Zhao Xian smiled and said, "As you said, I am only a concubine and not a queen. How can I control the backyard of a child who is not my own child?"
"Prince Ning's biological mother, Concubine Yun, and the Empress should worry about this matter. I just sighed with emotion, didn't I?" Concubine Zhao Xian said with a smile.
"That's what the Queen said."
*
As a result, the words of Concubine Zhao Xian of Chunfu Palace slowly spread, such as "Prince Ning is already twenty-three but has not yet had an heir. This is not good."
Rumors such as "something wrong" also spread.
Whether it was really for the good of Prince Ning or just to see his jokes, many people added fuel to these rumors. After all, Prince Ning really did not have any heirs.
The other princes and princes already have several children, and even the two young princes who are a few years younger than Prince Ning and got married only a year and a half earlier than him already have concubines and concubines, but Prince Ning has only one child.
No.
So everyone is worried about whether Prince Ning has any hidden illness?
There are all kinds of speculations, and there are several other princes who are in trouble now. They just hope to give Yan Lizhou the title of "cannot have heirs" and completely exclude them from the competition for the heir.
Outside of candidates.
Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou were unaware of the rumors outside. They were currently enjoying the delicious taste of top-quality seafood.
The quality of bluefin tuna is very good. Chen Xun made the kitchen have a very tender piece of meat to make fish soup, and the rest can be made into simple pan-fried or fish soup, both are very good.
The dipping sauce for the fish meat is a recipe that Chen Xun came up with, which can perfectly blend the taste of the tuna meat without overpowering it.
The tuna is very plump, and Chen Xun likes it very much for its tender texture and fresh taste. As expected, the taste of top-quality seafood is really great, much better than what she has eaten before.
"This tuna is really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious fish before." Xiuning said with endless aftertaste while eating.
"The meat is delicious, and it becomes even more delicious after being dipped in dipping sauce." Zhang Jingyan also nodded in agreement.
Chen Xun did not eat with a group of men this time. She only ate with Yan Lizhou, or at Yan Lizhou's Xihetang.
Xiu Ning and Zhang Jingyan ate in the courtyard arranged for them by Prince Ning's Mansion, so she had no idea what happened there.
"Your Majesty, Princess—"
Just when Chen Xun was enjoying the top-notch delicious food, housekeeper Yun Ji hurried over with an ugly expression on her face.
Seeing Yun Ji like this, Yan Lizhou put down his chopsticks and asked, "What happened? What happened to Uncle Ji?"
"Your Highness!" Yun Ji said with an ugly face, "There are rumors outside that you, you..."
Yan Lizhou looked at Yun Ji in confusion, while Yun Ji looked at the princess who was still eating, gritted her teeth and said, "It is being said outside that your backyard has been empty and your knees have been empty for many years, because of you... you...
There is a hidden illness..."
Yan Lizhou: "..."
After hearing Yun Ji's words, Chen Yun finally stopped, raised her head and looked at Yun Ji and said, "Where did such outrageous rumors come from?"
What hidden diseases could Yan Lizhou have? Although she and Yan Lizhou did not have sex, she could know that her host's body was very healthy. Since he was detoxified, the debuff on his body has been completely removed.
Now when she occasionally opens the host's information interface, she can still see various body data of her host.
Yan Lizhou's physical fitness is really good. His health has been getting better and better recently. His physical fitness is several times better than that of ordinary people.
So, what hidden disease could he have?
"Yes, it came from the palace." Yun Ji said honestly.
No matter what Concubine Zhao Xian had in mind at the beginning of this rumor, when she spread it out, she was of course claiming that she was saying this for the good of Yan Lizhou. It was impossible to directly say that she doubted Yan Lizhou.
Her initial purpose was not to say that Yan Lizhou had a hidden illness, but to destroy Wang Fu's Princess Ning's feelings for Prince Ning.
As a woman, how could Concubine Zhao Xian not know that as a woman, how could she accept that her husband had another woman?
She hoped to put pressure on Concubine Yun or Empress Mu to remember that Yan Lizhou had no children, and then bestow several beauties to Yan Lizhou to create heirs.
Of course, it would be better if Emperor Yun Zhao took action. Even Prince Ning himself would not be able to refuse the beauty given by the emperor himself.
She just hopes that Prince Ning's house will be restless, and she just hopes that Princess Ning will stop looking towards Prince Ning and stop nurturing him.
The result was unexpected. The effect was so good that Yan Lizhou was even stamped with a "hidden disease" stamp. Concubine Zhao Xian really didn't expect it. This was really an unexpected surprise.
Yan Lizhou and Chen Xun didn't plan to do anything after they learned about the source of this incident and the rumors that were getting more and more intense.
What to explain? How to explain it? Doesn’t he know if Yan Lizhou has a hidden disease? How can he explain it to others?
As for the proof of childbirth, the child cannot be born in a day or two. By the time the child is born, the rumors will have long since ceased.
"Treat it coldly and don't worry about it." Yan Lizhou said calmly. If you can't explain it, don't worry about it. You just need to let another rumor spread to cover up the matter.
So within a few days, another rumor spread in Chang'an City covered the rumors about Yan Lizhou.
