The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Prince Fenyang was still sighing at Xie Chenyi's determination when he heard Concubine Bao say, "This Second Young Master has no regard for the prince at all. The prince carefully selected you and sent you over, but he didn't even look at you or touch you. He doesn't take the prince's words to heart at all!"

Prince Fenyang thought about it and realized that if the emperor rewarded his subjects with something, the subjects would offer it in the ancestral temple. If the emperor rewarded palace maids, the subjects would definitely love and pamper them.

As a king and father, he gave his son several maids, but his son ignored them. Was it because he looked down on these maids, or did he look down on him as his father?

He said angrily: "The Second Young Master doesn't like you. Is it because you don't know how to serve him and just act like fools all day long?"

Several maids immediately felt aggrieved and cried, "Since we moved into the Second Young Master's courtyard, we have been the ones serving him all the tea and water. We have put secret drugs in everything the Second Young Master imports."

"Yes, my Lord. Every night, I secretly climbed onto the Second Young Master's bed, but he pretended to be asleep and kicked me down. I sprained my ankle."

The other one was even more aggrieved and cried, "I thought the Second Young Master might not respond to the medicine, so I drugged myself. I even stripped naked and stood in front of the Second Young Master, but he just ignored me and walked out."

When King Fenyang heard this, he felt that something was a little strange. He didn't think there was any man in the world who could spit out the fat meat in his mouth again and again.

"He has no reaction to women at all. Could he like men?"

This simple question made Concubine Bao suddenly remember the medicine she had given Xie Chenyi before.

If Xie Chenyi really had no reaction to women, it meant that Xie Chenyi was unable to relieve his sexual desire last time.

This is such a pleasant surprise. If Xie Chenyi really has no reaction to women anymore, then in the entire palace, Xie Jinbao is the only one who can have descendants.

She was excited and pretended to be worried, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Second Young Master seems to have no reaction to women. What should we do? How can we have descendants in the future? How can we pass on the incense of our ancestors?"

Her few words raised the matter to another level, and Fenyang immediately took it seriously. He frowned, as if he thought that everyone in the capital knew about another scandal in his family.

In order to avoid affecting the reputation of the palace, he had to meet the princess in person.

Prince Fenyang and the princess had nothing to say, so he got straight to the point and said, "I remember that the second son never had a concubine before he went to the border, right?"

"Yes, he was young at that time, so I didn't make any arrangements." The princess answered honestly.

Hearing this, Prince Fenyang sighed again: "I sent a few maids to Lao Er a few days ago. I heard that he never touched them. You may not know that those maids were given a lot of drugs, but Lao Er didn't react at all. Lao Er is close to you on weekdays. Do you think he likes men?"

"what?"

The princess knew that Fenyang came here today most likely because of the matter of the concubine. She had already made up her mind to stand on Xie Chenyi's side and would never agree to Xie Chenyi taking a concubine during the mourning period. She would not let Xie Chenyi's reputation be tarnished.

But when she heard what Prince Fenyang said, she was struck by lightning. Compared to a son who liked a man, he would rather have a son with a tarnished reputation.

She murmured, "No, that's impossible. There's no pretty servant around him!"

Prince Fenyang glared at the princess and said unhappily, "You are a mother, why don't you look outside? I heard that the second son runs out all day and rarely eats at home. I can't guarantee that the man is kept outside by him."

The princess knew that Xie Chenyi went out to avoid being poisoned by Concubine Bao, but after listening to Prince Fenyang's wild guesses, she suddenly lost confidence.

"Then I'll ask him tonight?"

"Ask?" Prince Fenyang tossed his sleeves and said, "Think it over. Anyway, there is no way that a homosexual can stay in my palace."

At night, Xie Chenyi came to pay his respects. The princess said nervously and worriedly, "Yier, tell me the truth. Although you didn't touch the concubines in your room, you still felt uncomfortable, right?"

Seeing the princess so worried, Xie Chenyi comforted her: "Mother, you are worrying too much. I have no intention of doing anything to them. You don't have to worry about me doing something like Xie Jinbao."

His words made Princess Wang even more worried. She asked tentatively, "My son, tell me the truth, have you ever fallen in love with a woman?"

This made Xie Chenyi silent. He went to the border at a very young age. Over the years, there were old cooks in their forties and fifties, but he had never seen a young woman. There was really no one for him to like.

If we talk about a woman whose eyes lit up, it was Meng Wen Yao, who was on his way back home from the border. When he saw her, his heart skipped a beat, but she was his sister-in-law.

Thinking back to the night he took the Chinese medicine, he went to Meng Wen Yao's room to take a bath. At that time, his self-control was a little lacking, and he might have done something indecent. Fortunately, he endured it.

"No." He answered the princess firmly and forbearingly.

The princess fell down on the chair and said with a sad face, "You don't really like men, do you?"

Xie Chenyi didn't expect the princess to be so thoughtful. He smiled and said, "Mother, what are you thinking about? To tell you the truth, some time ago, Concubine Bao drugged me and I almost fell for it. I know very well that I like women."

The princess shook her head in disbelief. She felt that Xie Chenyi was lying to her.

"Child, tell me the truth. I won't blame you."

"I didn't lie to you?" Xie Chenyi was puzzled.

The princess sighed and exposed Xie Chenyi's lie: "The maids your father gave you gave you all kinds of secret medicine every day. I see that you have no reaction every day. And you still say that you like women?"

The princess was about to cry as she spoke. She had endured half her life, and was about to see Xie Chenyi get married and set up her own household, but who knew something like this would go wrong halfway.

Xie Chenyi was also dizzy. He had a strong reaction to the Chinese medicine last time. Did those maids really drug him these days?

How come he doesn't feel anything at all?

"Mother, did you hear wrongly? Those maids didn't give me any drugs at all?"

The princess was stunned. She would rather believe her son than the prince's guess. She said hurriedly, "Yes, then try it yourself."

How to try? Xie Chenyi was too embarrassed to ask, he returned to the room silently, and seeing the three maids posing coquettishly, he seriously thought about whether to really give it a try?

Unfortunately, he endured the maids harassing him for a long time and did not react at all.

He thought that maybe these maids were too vulgar, and it would definitely not be like this if it were someone else.
