In the imperial study, Emperor Tianxi frowned and asked, "No?"
"That's right, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu bowed and replied fearfully: "The Third Highness has been kneeling outside Kunhe Palace for most of an hour."
Emperor Tianxi narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table with his finger, and said thoughtfully: "So, this matter must have spread in the palace, and I am afraid that people outside the palace who want to know also know... It will take more than half an hour.
Come on... you go and pass on my instructions and ask Jin'er to come to the imperial study to meet me!"
Eunuch Liu quickly agreed, bowed and left to deliver the order.
As for what the emperor meant by his words, it was not something that a slave like him could figure out.
What Emperor Tianxi said when he summoned Xuanyuan Jin was unknown to outsiders.
However, as the emperor said, not only those in the palace who wanted to know about it, but also those outside the palace who wanted to know were also aware of it.
As the natal family of the imperial concubine, the Zheng family naturally had eyes in the palace.
Naturally, he was the first to know about this matter.
Mr. Zheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is coming to discuss this matter with his staff in the study.
"Is the Empress doing this to pave the way for the Third Prince?" said an aide.
The other one nodded and said: "The Queen has drawn a clear line between herself and the Third Prince because she is afraid of injuring the Third Prince. This is indeed a painstaking effort."
"Blood is thicker than water, and mother and child are connected to each other. How can we draw this line clearly? Is it for the emperor's sake?" an aide guessed.
But Zheng Shoufu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not entirely true."
"My lord, what you mean is..."
"Perhaps...it's also to take out the Yang family," Zheng Shoufu said.
After listening to Zheng Shoufu's words, several staff members all showed thoughtful expressions.
At this time, a crisp voice came from outside the door.
"Is daddy in there?"
"Miss, the master is discussing important matters with some gentlemen inside, and he has asked no one to disturb him," the young man guarding the door said immediately.
"Then I'll come back later." After Zheng Suxin finished speaking, she turned to leave.
"Xin'er, come in."
Zheng Shoufu's voice came from the study.
Immediately, the study door opened and several staff members came out.
"I've met Miss."
Several staff members saluted Zheng Suxin and then turned around and left.
Zheng Suxin entered the study room with brisk steps.
Zheng Shoufu is holding a pen and writing in front of the case.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Shoufu asked without raising his head.
Zheng Shoufu still loves this daughter very much.
"Dad, can you go and tell your grandmother to ask my aunt to take me to the palace and stay there for a few days?" Zheng Suxin said enthusiastically.
"Why do you think of entering the palace?" Zheng Shouxu asked casually.
Zheng Suxin: "...I, I miss my aunt, and I also miss the Sixth Princess."
Zheng Suxin's face turned slightly red.
After saying that, he stepped forward and diligently studied Zheng Shoufu's ink.
Zheng Shoufu raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter, then paused with the pen in his hand.
With her shy face, her daughter was missing her aunt and cousin.
Zheng Shoufu had a flash of inspiration and thought of the third prince Xuanyuan Jin who had returned today.
Even he couldn't help but admire the Third Prince's glorious appearance today.
——The raw material is indeed good!
Zheng Shoufu looked at his pretty daughter, and then thought about the few sons the emperor had, and his heart suddenly moved.
There has been no birth of a prince or princess in the palace for six or seven years. It may be that there is something wrong with the emperor's health.
In this case, the emperor will never have any more heirs.
Among the princes, the eldest prince is no longer destined to be emperor, and the remaining four princes...
Zheng Shoufu thought about the way Xuanyuan Jin appeared today, and then thought about the backs of the Tian family trio when they stepped into the palace gate, and suddenly felt that the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace had nothing to do with other princes. Zheng Suxin saw
When his father suddenly stared at him without saying a word, he thought he had seen through his thoughts, and his face turned even redder.
"Dad, I really just miss my aunt..." Zheng Suxin defended with a red face, as if she didn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place.
"Okay! Dad is going to talk to your grandmother right now," Zheng Shouxu said.
My sister probably won't be able to take the throne in this life.
After all, not even a prince was born.
But, you still have a daughter, don’t you?
Zheng Suxin couldn't help but be filled with surprise when she saw Zheng Shoufu agreed.
"Thank you, Daddy! Daddy is the best!" Zheng Suxin said happily.
Huh! She must let Bai Shuqing see that she, Zheng Suxin, is not just wishful thinking!
Zheng Suxin was filled with joy, and she and Zheng Shoufu went to see the old lady of the Zheng family.
The old lady of the Zheng family thought about the news she heard today, and then looked at her granddaughter who was standing happily with an expectant look on her face, and she understood most of it.
Immediately, his brows furrowed.
"I heard that the Wang family and the Song family are still secretly inquiring about the secret recipe for giving birth to a child." The old lady said in a slow voice: "The Song family even tried their best to send another daughter to the palace in the hope of giving birth to a prince..."
The Wang family is the natal family of Concubine Xian, and the Song family is the natal family of Concubine Shu.
"Mom, what do you mean..." Hearing this, Zheng Shoufu also frowned.
The old lady said directly: "Now that the emperor is in his prime, it may not be impossible for him to have a few more princes."
Zheng Shoufu: "..."
The emperor is afraid that he will die long ago, right?
However, such words cannot be said, as it would be a crime of disrespect.
"Mother, there has been no new addition to the palace for so many years. Maybe..." Zheng Shoufu said implicitly: "The emperor only has these heirs in his life."
Although he is a man, he has also heard a lot of tidbits from his wife, such as the fact that the natal family of the concubines in the harem searched for secret recipes in order to let their daughter give birth to a prince.
As a result, after all these years, which one has been born?
It can be seen that the crux of this problem should be with the emperor.
It's just that Zheng Shoufu only dared to think about this in his heart.
After listening to her son's words, the old lady shook her head and said: "There is a secret medicine recorded in ancient prescriptions. As long as you take one dose, even a woman who is born infertile will definitely be able to get pregnant and give birth to a child. Your sister is not too old."
He is big and has always been highly regarded by the emperor. As long as he finds the secret medicine, he can win a man in one fell swoop."
If a daughter can give birth to a prince, it will naturally be better than a granddaughter marrying a prince.
It is impossible to say that my daughter can also sit on the throne of the queen.
Compared with daughters and granddaughters, daughters are naturally closer.
"Mom, if this secret medicine was so easy to obtain, King Cheng'en would have bought it long ago, not to mention others." Zheng Shoufu said with a wry smile.
After hearing what Zheng Shoufu said, the old lady was speechless and retorted.
After all, no one in the entire capital knew that King Chengen was going crazy thinking about his son!
I prayed to gods and Buddhas everywhere, sought medical advice, and even searched for various folk remedies.
However, the secret medicine is not easy to obtain because some medicinal materials are hard to come by.
So, the old lady thought of the news she had heard, and said: "Send someone to inquire. There is a kind of leaf that looks like gold, but is shiny and moist all over, like jade silk. It is extremely rare. As long as you find that kind of leaf, you can configure the secret."
medicine."
Zheng Shoufu: "..."
Where can I find this?
If the sugar baby is here, he must know that what the old lady is looking for is the golden jade leaf.

Hee hee, even before our sugar babies enter Beijing, we can already foresee how popular and sensational the things in our hands will be...
