The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Not long after, a huge piece of news spread in Shengjing City.

"It's said that when the Emperor was on the Northern Expedition, he was injured on the battlefield. Because the location of the injury is so difficult to describe, he has never been close to women."

Songzhi's baby was one month old. After she recovered, she returned to Su Li to serve her.

As a new mother, Songzhi's figure has become much rounder and fuller, her skin looks more radiant, and her complexion is also very good. It is obvious that the Qian family treats her well.

At the moment, she was telling Su Li some rumors she had heard outside.

Su Li and several noble ladies ate peaches and listened with great interest.

Su Li cooperated very well:

"Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't it? They said they had been nursing for several years, thinking it was cured, but after trying for half a year, none of the concubines in the harem got pregnant. Even after being treated by the skilled Imperial Physician Liu at the Imperial Hospital, the Emperor still..."

Songzhi lowered her voice, beckoned the ladies to come closer, and whispered two words in their ears:

"……no!"

"Oh!"

"Oh my God!"

"how so?!"

The ladies collectively covered their mouths.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Su Li also took a breath of cold air.

The emperor is really too cruel to himself!

In order to reunite with Mr. Sun as soon as possible, he even went so far as to belittle himself and ruin his own "reputation"!

This sincerity is truly admirable.

However, the person who came up with this bad idea is also a talented person!

Pei Heng in the study and Huan Ge'er who was doing homework in the palace both sneezed loudly several times at the same time.

"I was wondering, the Emperor rejected such a good marriage proposal from the Lin family. I never thought there was such a hidden story behind it."

A lady who was close to the Lin family gossiped.

"That's right! The eldest daughter of the Lin family once joined the Northern Expedition. Maybe she knew something about the inside story. She hurriedly called off the engagement upon returning to the capital. This is inhumane, husband. Even if she gets married, she'll be a widow!"

"Who says it isn't? Even if she can become the queen in the future, this is too miserable!"

"Oh, didn't my sister-in-law enter the palace? No wonder there's been no news for so many years. A few months ago, she sent a message home saying that she had won the emperor's favor. The whole family was looking forward to it day and night, but in the end, there was nothing! So this is what happened!"

"How pitiful!"

"Since the emperor is infertile, to whom will the throne be passed in the future?" Someone suddenly asked in a soul-like voice.

Everyone shut up.

The lively scene just now suddenly became cold.

Su Li saw the awkward situation and quickly said:

"Eat, eat quickly! The melons are top quality, just brought back from the sea by the merchant caravan. They are only available in the foreign countries of Southeast Asia."

The ladies quickly grabbed a piece of melon each and began to eat it with their own thoughts.

Since the emperor has no offspring, the crown prince can only be chosen from the descendants of the royal family.

Among the younger generation, Prince Heng has two sons. They have been lawless since childhood, with fists bigger than their heads, and are known as the Little Bullies of Shengjing.

Prince Jing and Prince Kang did leave behind a few sons, but they were all descendants of criminals, so it was lucky that they were still alive.

There is also Li Ji, the eldest prince’s son.

Speaking of this King Li Ji of Qin, all the ladies' eyes suddenly lit up.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is a rare talent.

When he was first brought up among the people and raised in the mansion of Duke Dingguo, it was rumored that he was a child prodigy who could memorize all the books in the academy and could speak eloquently.

Later, he learned martial arts from Duke Dingguo, and became a master of both civil and military skills!

At the age of ten, he single-handedly put down the civil unrest in Dali and helped Emperor Min of Dali ascend the throne.

At the age of twelve, he led troops to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief and quell rebellions, ensuring that Jiangnan would remain in peace and also wiped out the rebels.

After that, they tracked the rebels for thousands of miles and captured the rebel leader in a border town.

Despite his young age, he has made countless contributions.

Now I am almost fourteen years old.

The ladies' minds immediately became active.

"Madam Dingguo, is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin still visiting you?"

A lady asked flatteringly.

Su Li ate the melon with a smile on her face:

"Your Highness is kind and filial. Remember the kindness my wife and I showed him by raising him for several years. Even though he's busy with government affairs now, he still comes to visit us from time to time."

Another lady immediately rushed over:

"Then may I ask, Madam Dingguo, whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is married?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ladies present stared at Su Li with bright eyes, waiting for her to speak.

Su Li understood them very well, so she wiped the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief and said with a smile:

"Madam Zhou, you're joking. His Highness's surname is Li, and he's a prince. His marriage is naturally decided by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. It's not my place to butt in."

"Oh, that's right."

"Madam Dingguo, I suddenly remembered something happened at home, so I won't be joining you ladies to enjoy the flowers and eat melons today. Bye!"

One of the ladies quickly stood up and prepared to leave.

After eating such a big melon today, she had to go home quickly to discuss with her master what to do next!

We must hurry up and take advantage of the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is currently single and marry off those who should. The daughters of marriageable age in the family should quickly organize themselves, those who should show up should show up, and those who should learn the rules should learn them.

The King of Qin is about to turn fourteen, and it’s time to discuss marriage.

You have to grab this sweet opportunity quickly.

When he is made the crown prince in the future, it will not be his family’s turn.

As soon as the lady stood up, the more alert ones also reacted and stood up to leave.

Su Li didn't keep them either. Anyway, the purpose of her setting up this game today had been achieved.

The guests were politely seen off and each of them was given a basket of fruits shipped back from Southeast Asia.

"Madam, how did this servant perform?"

Songzhi leaned closer and asked.

Su Li glanced at her with a smile.

"They say gossips are just gossips. It turns out that only when you become a woman can you have a long tongue. Your gossiping ways are just like those women in the market."

Songzhi was not annoyed by her wife's teasing and said with a smile:

"Ma'am, I'm just imitating my mother-in-law. She's so exciting when she talks about gossip!"

Song Tao laughed.

"It seems Sister Songzhi and her mother-in-law get along very well!"

Songzhi smiled and brushed Songtao's handkerchief.

"You little girl, my kids are all over the floor, and you haven't even gotten married yet! Hurry up, or you'll become an old maid."

Song Tao didn't care.

"If I'm an old maid, I'm an old maid. I don't mind."

Su Li glanced at her sideways.

"Don't you care? Helan Yue goes to Duke Dingguo's mansion every day to give you things. Your room is almost full. Do you think I, your wife, am blind and can't see it?"

"Helan Yue?" Song Zhi asked in surprise, "Why, have you fallen in love with someone else? Don't you want Liancheng anymore?"

Song Tao said proudly:

"I can take it and let it go. Liancheng, if I pursue him and he doesn't care about me anymore, I won't be bothered. Helan Yue may be a bit rough, but he has a soft heart. After getting along with him, I think he's a good person!"

"What if Liancheng comes back to look for you?"

Songzhi asked curiously.

Everyone can probably guess why Liancheng rejected Songtao. Now that Liancheng's leg injury has completely healed, the knot in his heart should have been untied.

What if he changes his mind and wants to make amends?

Su Li also wanted to know, so she stretched her neck to see how Song Tao would answer.
