The second prince's impeachment was more violent than expected.
In addition to talking about the family scandal in the Hou Mansion, some people also vaguely cited the corruption case. They basically said that Xiao Yanlin couldn't handle his family affairs well, so he should handle his own family affairs first before talking about the court affairs.
It can be said that the crowd in the court was furious.
It is not difficult to understand that many people have already boarded the second prince's ship. Once the second prince is dismissed, even if they are not involved in it, their future career will be regarded as over——
No one would accept their former political opponents. House slaves with three surnames were the most unwelcome wherever they were.
The second prince was still worried about the corruption issue before, but now he finally seizes the opportunity. Even if it is just a small matter, he must make a big deal!
However, no matter how much trouble the officials made, surprisingly, the emperor didn't care at all.
The second prince couldn't believe his ears——
"Father! How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house? The Marquis of Zhenbei—"
"Okay!" The emperor waved his hand and interrupted: "You, a prince, don't think about how to benefit the people all day long. You focus on the love between children and other people's family affairs. Do you think it's okay for yourself?"
The second prince was caught off guard by the rebuke!
For a moment, I didn’t even know how to refute!
Xiao Yanlin in the audience looked confident of winning.
It seems that Gu Baiyu is right, Concubine Zhou can really help with this kind of thing.
For this matter of long-term love between children and short-term relationships between parents, a woman's pillow style is much more useful than a courtier's ginseng.
Xiao Yanlin silently thought that it was thanks to Sister Gu Baiyu that the solution was solved so smoothly this time. He should thank Gu Baiyu and Concubine Zhou.
The matter just fell into place. In the end, the emperor just pretended to ask Xiao Yanlin to handle the family affairs, and then nothing more happened.
After going to court, Xiao Yanlin was about to leave, but was blocked by the second prince.
"stop!"
Xiao Yanlin stopped walking, and the second prince had an angry look on his face: "Master Hou is walking very briskly. Why, you can't wait to go back and share the good news with your wife? You can actually persuade that old-fashioned Prime Minister Gu to directly remove Gu Ruanruan from the family tree. I'm really a kid. It depends on your husband-in-law’s feelings!”
Xiao Yanlin expressionlessly brushed away the second prince's hand: "The second prince thinks too much. I just want to return home quickly."
Seeing that the second prince was unwilling to give in, Xiao Yanlin was extremely upset, "If the second prince doesn't give in, don't blame Xiao for being rude!"
"I just want to ask you what kind of ecstasy soup was given to your father!"
Xiao Yanlin paused and suddenly said: "I really have something to go back to. Yu'er has prepared a gift for the noble concubine in the palace, and I will send it to the palace later."
When the second prince heard this, he immediately frowned: "Okay, okay! I was careless and forgot that there is Concubine Zhou! That woman must have been whispering in my father's ears again!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to the harem angrily.
Xiao Yanlin raised the corners of his lips.
The second prince acted impulsively and would definitely question Concubine Zhou or seek reason with the emperor. Little did he know that Xiao Yanlin had already inquired today. Concubine Zhou and the emperor had just reconciled due to a small conflict. It was the time when the honey was mixed with oil. The second prince With this impulse, I think Concubine Zhou will surely seize the opportunity to gain some benefits from the harem struggle...
After Xiao Yanlin returned, he told Gu Baiyu about this matter.
Gu Baiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Master Hou is really a good chess player. Sister, it's time to thank you!"
Concubine Zhou's affair with the emperor is a private matter between a man and a woman. Logically speaking, the second prince, as a son, cannot know about it. Now that he has everything to do with his father's bed, this is no matter what. Men can't tolerate it.
The emperor would guess how the second prince knew about it, and who suffered in the end was either him or the mother-in-law in his harem.
No matter who it is, they are all powerful and harmless to Concubine Zhou.
Gu Baiyu was being carefully cared for by Xiao Yanlin in his arms at the moment, and he was about to struggle down after listening to the fun.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Gu Baiyu pushed his hand: "Now that I have said it, of course I have to prepare some gifts for my sister. The second prince may not be so impulsive. We have to add fuel to his fire to make him sure that he is Concubine Zhou. It’s just a matter of disrupting his good deeds.”
"I'll choose. You stay here and let me hold you for a while."
Ever since they learned that Gu Baiyu was pregnant, the two had not been close to each other for a long time. Xiao Yanlin could only hug and kiss, so he cherished the time they spent together.
Gu Baiyu pushed a few times and couldn't move, so he looked sideways at Xiao Yanlin: "Do you know what women like?"
This is really a difficult question to answer.
If the answer was yes, Gu Baiyu would definitely be jealous.
Xiao Yanlin reluctantly let go of his hand: "I don't know what Concubine Zhou likes, I only know what my wife likes."
Gu Baiyu snorted, quite satisfied with this answer.
"Then tell me, what do I like best?"
Gu Baiyu looked at Xiao Yanlin expectantly.
She wanted to see if this man was telling lies to make her happy, or if he really knew.
Under Gu Baiyu's slightly expectant gaze, Xiao Yanlin calmly said: "You like me the most."
When Gu Baiyu heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.
"You, you are really..."
Xiao Yanlin raised his eyes to look at her with gentle eyes: "Why, did I say something wrong? Could it be that Madam doesn't like me?"
Gu Baiyu was choked suddenly.
Xiao Yanlin really knows how to treat others in their own way.
Just now she asked Xiao Yanlin an unanswerable question, and now Xiao Yanlin immediately asked her an exact question in return.
Admit the important thing, it’s so embarrassing;
If you don't admit it...
That was probably serious, and Xiao Yanlin might take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Gu Baiyu blushed and punched his arm: "Why do you ask such a question? Don't you know the answer very well?"
Her blushing look was so shy and cute. Xiao Yanlin was itching to see her, and he locked her in his arms and refused to let her go.
"I'm not joking. You have to answer well. If the answer doesn't satisfy me..."
Gu Baiyu blushed, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "I like you the most."
Such a straightforward expression of love made Gu Baiyu's entire face, including his neck, turn red.
Gu Baiyu's shy but hot answer, the warm breath she exhaled, and the warm touch of her lips accidentally brushing his earlobe all made Xiao Yanlin feel extremely satisfied for a moment.
"Now that I've told you what you want to hear, can you let me go?"
Gu Baiyu blushed and pushed Xiao Yanlin, but Xiao Yanlin's strong arms did not move at all.
"Why don't you keep your words..."
Xiao Yanlin suddenly tightened his grip and his voice became hoarse: "I was going to let you go, but now, I'm afraid I can't."
