The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Upon arriving at the palace, Xia Tongsheng unconsciously pouted! Her head practically drooped to the ground!

Seeing her like this, Min Youan knew she was under a lot of pressure, so he didn't say anything to her!

When Consort Jing saw that Xia Tongsheng had brought Min You'an with her, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. "My son, what brings you here?"

"My mother wanted to see Ah Sheng, and I happened to miss her too, so I came along!"

Consort Jing put down her teacup. "I have something to discuss with Tong'er. You go and play chess with your father first!"

Thinking that Min Youan hadn't attended court for so many days because the people he had chosen were unreliable, he felt a little guilty towards him.

Xia Tongsheng thought to herself, "Your mother's intention to get rid of Min Youan is too obvious! Mother, please be a little more subtle!"

"Your subject..." Min Youan glanced at Xia Tongsheng, feeling uneasy!

"What, are you afraid I'll eat your queen?"

Since Consort Jing has said so, Xia Tongsheng, as a woman, and more importantly, a daughter-in-law and a wife, can't be so tactless!

"Your Highness, please go see Father Emperor. You have been ill and at home for so many days. I'm sure Father Emperor misses you. I'll stay here and chat with Mother Consort about matters concerning daughters!"

Both of them tried to push him away, but Min Yoo-an refused to believe it and just sat there.

Just as he was about to refuse, Xia Tongsheng gently tugged at his sleeve from behind!

He understood that if he didn't agree, his mother would definitely hold Xia Tongsheng responsible, so in order to avoid too much friction between his mother and daughter-in-law, he finally compromised!

Xia Tongsheng looked at Consort Jing, wondering how this old woman would make things difficult for her, "Mother!"

"sit down!"

Xia Tongsheng looked at the cushion on the stool and thought, "Don't they always put needles in clothes and cushions in TV dramas?"

So before she sat down, she deliberately pressed down with her hand to check if there was anything sharp inside, otherwise her butt would suffer!

Fortunately, she didn't touch anything. But just to be on the safe side, she didn't dare to sit down too hard; she just lightly touched the cushion with her bottom.

Consort Jing, too lazy to beat around the bush, went straight to the point, "I heard that you own a brothel?"

"Ok!"

She suppressed the anger that was about to erupt within her, "You are An'er's princess, a member of the royal family, how can you run such a despicable business as a brothel?"

Despicable? After running her business for over a year, she was actually described as "despicable" by Consort Jing. How could Xia Tongsheng possibly tolerate this?

"Mother, there is only good or bad in business, not high or low, noble or base!"

I live an upright life, I haven't stolen anything or robbed anyone, so how can I be considered despicable?

"Putting aside your despicable behavior, where did you get so much money to take over a brothel?"

She had sent people to inquire, and Yanxiang was the largest brothel in the capital. Taking it over would definitely require a lot of money. She knew how much her son earned in a year, and after deducting the expenses of the Prince's Mansion, there was almost nothing left.

Xia Tongsheng used the prince as a shield, saying, "The prince's money!"

"How could I not know how much money my son has? I don't know if he could even afford to buy this brothel with ten years' salary!"

Although the words were meant to mock Xia Tongsheng for wasting money, Xia Tongsheng was secretly pleased. Consort Jing was praising her, saying that her brothel was valuable enough to be worth ten years of the prince's salary!

However, it seems that Consort Jing really has no idea how rich the prince is. The prince has so much money that he doesn't know where to spend it!

I thought the prince was really that stubborn, just living off his salary?

Unlike others, whose shops are already everywhere!

He's definitely the richest man in Beijing!

“Mother, now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide it. I used my own dowry to take over Yanxiang!”

Although Min You'an's money wasn't spent, Consort Jing was still dissatisfied. "No matter what, what you did was wrong. You must sell that brothel right now!"

"This, I cannot do!"

"I can't do it!" Xia Tongsheng's mind automatically conjured up the face of Ada Choi.

If WeChat existed now, Xia Tongsheng would definitely send this emoji to Consort Jing ten times, no! a hundred times, to express her unwavering resolve!

"What did you say!" Consort Jing stood up abruptly, waiting for Xia Tongsheng!

"I'm determined to stay at this brothel!"

"It's against you!"

Seeing the people in the courtyard suddenly start arguing, Min Youan, who had been waiting outside without daring to leave, rushed in!

He grabbed Xia Tongsheng's arm, "Mother, it's time for Yuetong to nurse. Your son will take her back first!"

"Little Yuetong, Little Yuetong, do you even have any respect for your mother, me?"

Her son was such a filial son; she was always so proud of him.

Now things are really messed up. Ever since they got married and had Xia Tongsheng, it's like they're obsessed. Everything is about Xia Tongsheng, Xia Tongsheng, even the child's name is Xia Tongsheng's name!

She was his mother, and seeing that her son had forgotten her after getting married, her anger soared to its maximum!

Xia Tongsheng and Min Youan were both stunned. "Mother, that's not what I meant!"

"Whatever your meaning, do whatever you want now. Xia Tongsheng, you must handle that matter at the brothel properly! My son is vying for the throne, and you are his wife. What kind of behavior is this?"

"Don't worry, Mother. It's just a brothel; it won't affect me!"

Consort Jing was unaware that the biggest obstacle to Min You'an's struggle for the throne was not brothels or his reputation!

It's Xia Tongsheng's identity!

She is the goddess of Nanye. As long as Xia Tongsheng and Min Youan do not divorce, it is destined that the emperor will not pass the throne to Min Youan!

Therefore, the emperor has been using various means to try to separate Xia Tongsheng and Min Youan, otherwise he fears that Bei Min will be destroyed by Min Youan!

He knew that Min Youan loved Xia Tongsheng and would definitely not take action against Xia Xiuyong, so the emperor had personally eliminated Xia Xiuyong, this potential threat, for him!

"Son, you're something else! You're something else!" Her trembling hand pointed at him, as if accusing him of disloyalty and filial impiety!

Seeing his mother like this, he felt bad. He knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, but he also knew that she had been targeting Xia Tongsheng!

He was caught between two women he deeply loved and didn't know what to do!

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an age-old problem. If it were so easy to handle, this internal contradiction among the people would not have been so deeply rooted in China for five thousand years!
