After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Zhao Jingyan was very perceptive and immediately asked the shopkeeper to open a private room.

It is called a private room, but in fact it is just separated and everything inside can be clearly seen from the outside.

Zhao Jingyan respectfully invited the Master to go into the private room with him and take his seat.

Lord Li nodded secretly. No matter how knowledgeable one is, respecting teachers and valuing education is a virtue.

When dining at Dongxinglou, you must definitely try the famous mushroom banquet.

Lord Li and the Master had a very pleasant conversation. They just took a few sips and then exchanged academic ideas.

Zhao Jingyan and Princess Anyang were eating intently.

The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, so there was affection in their eyes.

The two of them looked at each other and absent-mindedly ate most of the food on the table.

In a trance, Zhao Jingyan saw Anyang waving at him and giving him a wink.

Only then did he notice that he had arrived in the princess's bedroom without knowing when.

The bedroom was magnificent and the air was filled with an enchanting fragrance.

Anyang had already started to take off her coat. Zhao Jingyan understood what she was saying and walked over to her, pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

The originally noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent, waking up the two teachers and Lord Li who were immersed in academic discussions.

The two looked around blankly and saw that everyone in the restaurant was looking at them.

They looked at each other and saw nothing unusual.

When they looked to the side, they saw Zhao Jingyan holding Anyang and touching her all over, which was disgusting.

The two men paused for a second, wishing they could poke their eyes out and find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Lord Li stepped forward, pulled Zhao Jingyan away, and gave him a hard slap in the face.

The princess' maid came hurriedly over. She had just left for a while because people were in a hurry.

Lord Li took off his outer robe to cover the princess's face, and pushed her into his arms, "Why don't you take your master back home quickly?"

The maid didn't know what was going on. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she wisely didn't ask anything and just walked out holding Anyang.

Lord Li's slap left Zhao Jingyan stunned for a moment.

"Master Li, why did you hit the students?"

Lord Li snorted and walked past him without even looking at him.

The Master walked up to him, sighed deeply, and left.

People in the restaurant began to discuss in low voices, some were envious while others denounced it as being immoral.

Zhao Jingyan's classmates all knew that the girl was a princess, so they dared not comment and found excuses to leave.

Zhao Jingyan was left confused. Why did they all leave for no reason?

The mystery in Zhao Jingyan's heart was solved a few days later.

A few days later, word began to spread on the streets that the current princess and a student had done something indecent in a restaurant.

There is something even more explosive behind this rumor: the student is already married and his wife is pregnant.

For a while, people were saying all sorts of things.

"A disciple of the emperor actually did something indecent in public. Such a person is not worthy of being a disciple of the emperor."

"That's right, if this kind of person becomes an official in the future, he will definitely not be a good official."

"If the princess falls in love with me, I will divorce my old hag and marry her. I won't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life."

"You'd better go back to your dream. If you dare to covet the princess, be careful of your head."

"How come this princess and the prince are the same, one spies on other people's husbands, and the other steals other people's wives?"

"Wouldn't it be the same for the emperor? Don't old people always say that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked?"

"Both of them were born to the queen. As the mother of a country, she raised children who are disasters. Such people should be divorced to prevent them from bringing disaster to the country."

Of course, this call was quickly suppressed.

The emperor received a large number of memorials impeaching the princess and the queen.

Because the rumor happened in a public place like a restaurant, the source of the rumor could not be found at all.

After the emperor left the court, he went to Kunning Palace angrily.

As soon as Princess Anyang saw the emperor, she said that he must have been drugged.

No matter what, she knew propriety and shame, and would never do anything shameful in public.

But no one thought about it that day, and there is no evidence to support it.

The emperor, who had suffered a series of blows, looked very haggard.

The queen married him when he was still a prince and has been with him all the way to the present.

He placed all his hopes on the prince and princess.

He had not imagined that his half-life reputation would be questioned because of these two children.

He raised his hand weakly, "Princess Anyang will marry Zhao Jingyan as his equal wife, and Zhao Jingyan's title of Juren will be revoked. He will never be eligible to participate in the imperial examinations again."

The princess was anxious: "Father, Zhao Lang is very talented and must be a pillar of the court. You can't disqualify him!"

The emperor pointed at Anyang, his fingers shaking uncontrollably.

"This is the child you raised? My good queen!" He looked at the queen lying on the bed.

Ever since the crown prince was demoted to a commoner, the queen has lost her energy and spirit.

She looked straight at the emperor: "They are your children too!"

If a child is raised but not educated, it is the father's fault. How can the blame be put on a woman like her?

The emperor was so angry that he left in anger.

When the princess got married, everything was kept simple. They just matched their horoscopes and calculated the nearest date, and then hurriedly went through the process.

Shen Yunchu had been taking care of her pregnancy peacefully, and because of Madam Zhao's order, she actually had no idea about it.

That day, the weather was very good, and she thought about what she had promised her mother to do to buy a house from her eldest sister-in-law.

She took her maid and went to Jia Mingzhu's house.

After Jia Mingzhu asked for a division of the family property, she moved into her dowry house.

Jia Mingzhu's belly was already slightly visibly pregnant, and when she heard that Shen Yunchu was coming to visit her, she looked disdainful.

"Let her in." She thought for a moment and spoke.

"What brings my sister-in-law here? Come in and have some tea."

When Jia Mingzhu saw Shen Yunchu, a smile appeared on her face, and she took her hand and walked into the house in a friendly manner.

Shen Yunchu looked around the mansion's furnishings. After all, she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and the furnishings in the mansion were very luxurious.

"I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant. My sister-in-law should have come to congratulate her earlier, but because of morning sickness, she has not had time to come."

"I feel better today. I came to visit you specially. This is a token of my love. I hope you won't mind."

Jia Mingzhu motioned the maid to step aside. She wanted to see what Shen Yunchu's purpose was in coming here.

"That's what it's like when you first get pregnant. When I first got pregnant, I vomited everything I ate. It was really painful."

While Shen Yunchu was entertaining Jia Mingzhu, he was thinking about how to ask Jia Mingzhu for the prescription.

"Sister-in-law, please take good care of your pregnancy. We women still have to rely on our children to make a living. Men are unreliable."

After hearing this, Shen Yunchu covered his mouth with his handkerchief and smiled.

"If we women don't rely on men, who else can we rely on? My husband will be an official in the court in the future, and I look forward to following him and enjoying wealth and glory!"

"Don't you know that not only can your uncle not become an official, but he can't take the imperial examinations for the rest of his life?"

After Jia Mingzhu finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag, and she covered her mouth.
