Empress Xiao Lu was able to stay in the palace for a short time thanks to the relationship with Empress Mingzhen. She was favored overnight and taken into the harem. I don't know how much gossip she heard.

It was not until she gradually climbed to the position of queen that the insulting voices gradually faded away.

After it became old news in the harem, no one would mention it on weekdays, but Xu Xingyin tore off the fig leaf today, clearly humiliating her in public.

After being hit in the sore spot by Xu Xingyin, Xiao Lu's face suddenly darkened. He shot a cold look at Xu Xingyin and spoke.

"I don't understand what the Crown Princess is saying. The issue of offspring has always been of the utmost importance. No matter what kind of girl she is, even if she is of a lower status, as long as she can give birth to a son for the Crown Prince, it is the most honorable thing. In my opinion, the most shameful thing is for a hen not to lay eggs!"

When Xu Xingyin heard this, he responded with a smile without even blinking.

"I understand. But the selection of the concubine still needs to be discussed carefully between you and me. After all, the concubine has to serve you and please you."

Although Xu Xingyin's words were made after responding to Xiao Lu, they seemed more like he was stating his own position.

The candidate for this concubine must be approved by both her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

If we just let in some random people of unknown origin, let alone serving the prince, it would be good enough if they don't cause trouble.

"Crown Princess! I was only thinking about the royal heir. Not only was you jealous and unwilling to agree, you repeatedly contradicted me and even used the Crown Prince to pressure me! With such words, do you have any respect for your elders? And have you ever remembered the word filial piety?"

Once the hat of disrespecting elders was put on him, even if Xu Xingyin was right, he would still be suppressed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Concubine Lian quickly spoke up to try to ease the atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Crown Princess was also anxious at the moment and lost her sense of propriety. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

However, Empress Lu was already furious at this moment, and snorted coldly: "Lady Lian is also an elder, how could she not know the importance of the continuation of the royal family? This palace is wholeheartedly considering the royal family, but some people are only concerned with their own selfishness and forget the overall situation! This royal family matter should be decided by this palace and His Majesty. The Crown Princess is so contradictory, is this what the Crown Prince taught her?"

Xiao Lu became more and more excited as he spoke, his chest heaving, and he was obviously very angry.

Her words not only confirmed Xu Xingyin's guilt of contradicting his elders, but also dragged the prince into the water, implying that the prince was a poor teacher.

You can’t win the argument, and you’re dragging Jing Zhichen into it?

Xu Xingyin couldn't stand it anymore. Her beautiful eyes narrowed and she started to attack with full force.

"I don't know what I said wrong to cause the Queen to be so suspicious. Speaking of offspring, it reminds me of another thing. I heard that recently Princess An severely punished the concubine of Prince An, causing Concubine Wang to have a miscarriage. This concubine Wang Yuya was a close friend of mine. I really can't bear to see her so pitiful. Today, I am here to ask for mercy from the Queen, and ask the Queen to make a decision for Concubine Wang!"

What he meant was that you should take care of your own son's affairs first before taking care of the Eastern Palace.

You're just a consort, why are you so proud?

Xiao Lu was so angry that his breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, and he was choked by Xu Xingyin's words.

She never expected that Xu Xingyin would bring up the matter of Prince An's concubine.

The fact that the concubine had miscarriage was originally a secret in the palace. Apart from her and Prince An and his wife, no one else knew about it.

Now, Xu Xingyin mentioned this matter in front of so many people, which was undoubtedly a slap in her face.

Princess An's Shu is also a fool. Not only is she extremely jealous, but she is also very treacherous. Don't try to cause trouble for her!

If Prince An didn't really need the power of the Shu family, she would have refused to tolerate that idiot long ago!

Little Queen Lu's face turned pale and blue, and she shot a fierce look at Xu Xingyin, but she saw that she was still smiling, without any fear on her face, and it was obvious that she didn't take her seriously at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lu's face darkened and he said in a cold voice.

"I have already punished Princess An for her actions. Does the Crown Princess's questioning mean that I handled the matter inappropriately?"

The smile on Xu Xingyin's face remained unchanged. He was not afraid of Xiao Luhou's threat at all. He spoke slowly, and every word sounded like ice beads falling to the ground, crisp and firm.

"Your Majesty, your words are too serious. As a junior, how dare I question the Queen's decision?"

Xiao Luhou's face became even uglier and he said angrily.

"No matter what the Crown Princess says today, it's useless. If the Crown Princess does not allow the Crown Prince to have someone in his room, I will personally choose someone for him. The matter of offspring is of utmost importance. Even if I tell His Majesty about this, I am not afraid!"

Seeing that Xiao Lu Hou was serious, everyone was shocked. No one expected Xiao Lu Hou to be so tough and not give Xu Xingyin any face at all. It seemed that she would not stop until Xu Xingyin agreed to add more people.

Having said that, if Empress Lu really wanted to add a concubine to the prince's palace, it would be justified.

Even though Xu Xingyin was the Crown Princess, she still had to be suppressed by her status.

For a moment, no one in the palace dared to breathe, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves, while in their hearts they were secretly worried for Xu Xingyin.

Only Xu Xingyin stood there calmly, even with a mocking smile on his face.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded from outside the hall.

"Your Highness, please do not worry about the affairs of the Eastern Palace. As for the concubines...Your Highness may not know that when I married the Crown Princess, I informed my father that I would only have Jiaojiao by my side for the rest of my life. Otherwise, there would be more people in the harem and more dirty things."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Crown Prince Jing Zhichen, dressed in court robes, already stepping into the hall.

With a jade belt hanging down his waist, a handsome face and black hair tied up high, he looks as tall and straight as a pine tree, with an imposing aura.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Jing Zhichen is the crown prince and the future emperor. How can he give up three thousand beauties for one woman?

What kind of magic does this Crown Princess have that can make someone like Jing Zhichen obey her every word?

It really makes others envious!

Yang Mingxue next to him had an even uglier expression on her face, her eyes fixed quietly on Jing Zhichen's face.

Looking at that expression, it looked like she was about to cry in the next second.

The main person, Xu Xingyin, was also shocked. It was the first time she heard such words.

One pair for life people?

She had thought about it, but had never thought that Jing Zhichen could give it to her. After all, since ancient times, which emperor had only one person by his side?

This is truly unheard of.

But Jing Zhichen dared to say it in front of so many people, which was tantamount to cutting off his own retreat.

This friendship... is indeed deep.

While Xu Xingyin was stunned, Jing Zhichen had slowly walked to her side and gently held her hand.
