On the other hand, Ye Hongguang liked Ye Mei and Ye Ke very much. He was happy that he had a brother and a sister. He was also a very innocent person, like a child, and did not look like he was raised by the Ye family. Apart from
playing chess with Ye Maocai, he only read books. It was natural tor him to be innocent.
Ye Mei smiled and said, “Third Brother, what’s the matter?”
Ye Hongguang did not look like Ye Maocai, nor did he look like Madam Ye. He probably looked more like his biological mother, the concubine. He smiled and said, “Father asked you to go to the study, so I came over to deliver the message and give the ring puzzle to Eldest Sister. I heard that Eldest Sister is an expert at solving ring puzzles, so I brought it over.”
Ye Mei took the ring puzzle and said, “When I solve it, I’ll personally send it to Third Brother.”
“Thank you, Eldest Sister!” Ye Hongguang looked very excited.
Ye Mei smiled and looked back at Ye Ke. They could see the gloom in each other’s eyes.
At this moment, Ye Maocai wanted to see the two of them. Clearly, he had something new to tell them to do. He used the two of them as chess pieces, but how could Ye Mei and her brother be obediently manipulated by others?
It would definitely be another round of scheming.
The news of Consort Jing being pregnant spread throughout Long Ye the next day.
Emperor Yong Le had not had a child for so many years, so there were naturally all kinds of speculations. The most common one was that Emperor Yong Le was ill and could not have a child. It was also because of this that the open and secret battles in the imperial court had never stopped for so many years. However, the fact that Consort Jing was pregnant meant a lot.
Perhaps Emperor Yong Le was not ill and did it on purpose. However, now that Emperor Yong Le had “impregnated” Consort Jing, it seemed to indicate something. Therefore, the court officials began to want to send their daughters to the palace. On the other hand, some of the court officials in Long Ye who were neutral began to make a new decision. No matter what, Consort Jing’s pregnancy had a huge impact on the harem of the Daliang Dynasty.
When Shen Miao told Xie Jingxing about this, she even said, “Previously, because the emperor did not have a child, the harem was quiet and there was not much conflict. However, when the news of Consort Jing’s pregnancy spread, all the officials wanted to send their daughters to the palace. I’m afraid the harem will be in chaos.”
The calm water was suddenly disrupted by a stone thrown into the water. That was the most terrifying thing.
Xie Jingxing sneered. “That depends on whether they can get pregnant or not.”
Emperor Yong Le gave them all infertility soup. Consort Jing’s pregnancy was an accident, but because of this accident, the dose of the infertility soup would definitely increase from now on.
“The Lu family is too anxious.” Shen Miao rested her chin on her hand. “Before the palace could announce this news, the Lu family beat them to it. The entire Long Ye knows about it now.”
“The sooner it spreads, the sooner they’ll die.” Xie Jingxing was putting on his outer robe. Shen Miao stood up and helped him tidy his collar. He looked down at Shen Miao and said, “However, if you’re pregnant with my child, I’ll make sure everyone in Long Ye knows about it.”
Shen Miao glared at him and said, “If you dare to make another woman pregnant with your child.”
“What’ll happen then?” Xie Jingxing frowned.
Shen Miao tugged at his collar and said fiercely, “I’ll make sure everyone in
Long Ye will know that Prince Rui’s mansion was wiped out.”
Xie Jingxing laughed out loud and held her waist. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, “You alone are enough to exhaust me..”
