Chapter 247: Eighth Master Wants to Take a Concubine, Little Nine Loves Gossip
Two days after this incident, word spread through the palace that the Grand Empress Dowager would personally select a virtuous and virtuous concubine for the Lianjun Prince's mansion. This news spread like wildfire, like a boulder dropping into water. Within a short time, word of the Lianjun Prince's mansion's impending new concubine spread like wildfire throughout the capital's wealthy families.
Everyone in the city was astonished by this incident, and they began to whisper among themselves. Everyone knew that the Eighth Concubine had always been a fiery-tempered woman, greatly loved and respected by Prince Lian, and held a high position in the Prince's mansion. Now that the mansion was about to add a concubine, everyone was naturally curious about how the Eighth Concubine would respond.
Soon, the streets, alleys, teahouses, and restaurants were filled with speculation and discussion about this matter. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the Eighth Lady to appear and express her opinion.
It's no wonder that people in the capital are so gossipy. There's really nothing new recently except that the Empress is pregnant. Even if the Empress was pregnant, that was a month or two ago, and it's no longer new by now.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Eighth Lady never showed up. Instead, during this period of time, Prince Lian took advantage of his free time to pay a special visit to Prince An's mansion.
After he returned, he unexpectedly announced that the Eighth Lady was feeling unwell and needed to recuperate, so he temporarily handed over the household affairs to the wet nurse.
This unexpected turn of events filled everyone with suspicion, and they secretly speculated on the reasons behind it. Even more bizarre was that, faced with such a situation, Prince An's Mansion remained completely silent, acting as if it had nothing to do with the matter at all, displaying a stance of not wanting to interfere.
This attitude is really interesting, and it makes people in the capital feel like they are being scratched by a kitten, feeling itchy and unbearable, but confused.
At the same time, Prince Lian's power has become increasingly prominent due to his recent success in regaining control of the Lifanyuan and being honored as its Minister.
Therefore, although the people of the capital were gossiping about this matter privately, no one dared to speak out in public in front of the real person. After all, no one wanted to offend the powerful Prince Lian easily.
However, although others were in awe of the royal family and Prince Lian's Mansion, Yinzhen didn't care at all.
Not to mention his own noble status as a prince, the degree of favor he enjoyed from the new emperor far surpassed that of others. Moreover, in terms of the rank of nobility, the position of a prince was obviously higher than that of a county prince.
On the morning of the next day, just as the news began to spread, Yinzhen walked into the palace gate without hesitation and went straight to where Yinreng was busy handling government affairs.
When He Zhu, who was in charge of serving, saw Prince Min coming, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and respectfully greeted him, and led Yinzhen into the inner hall.
After Yinzhen entered the hall, He Zhu swiftly brought a comfortable chair and asked Yinzhen to sit down, then immediately served him steaming hot tea. After everything was arranged, He Zhu carefully stepped aside and stood quietly, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
Yinreng, seated at the head of the table, remained silent, watching the events unfold below. When Yin'er finally took his seat and leisurely sipped his teacup, Yinreng could no longer contain his playful amusement and quipped, "Xiaojiu, look how much more comfortable your life is than mine! Now that you've arrived at my Palace of Heavenly Purity, not only will you have a comfortable chair to sit on, but you'll also be served the finest tea."
Hearing Yinreng's words, Yinzhen couldn't help but roll his eyes and responded unhappily, "Second brother, please don't make fun of me! These treatments are just the money I give to the servants on a daily basis. Besides, without your secret nod, how could those servants dare to act like this?"
Yinreng couldn't help but feel a little amused after hearing this. He shook his head gently, deciding not to continue the joke. Then, he looked at the person in front of him with interest and asked curiously, "Are you not busy today? How can you be so free that you have time to come to me?"
At the mention of this, Yinzhen immediately perked up, his sleepy eyes instantly widening, as if he had been given an injection of chicken blood. He looked around, cautiously craning his neck to check his surroundings. After making sure that no one else was present, he lowered his voice, approached Yinreng mysteriously, and whispered softly, "Second brother, I heard that the eighth brother was unable to have children because of that woman! Is this true?"
Seeing Yin'er acting so weird and sneaky, Yinreng couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
At the same time, the memorial in his hand seemed to have eyes and flew straight towards Yinzhen. With a crisp sound of "bang", the memorial hit Yinzhen's head firmly and then fell to the ground without any suspense.
Yinreng, with a look of disappointment on his face, glared at Yinzhen and scolded him, "Look at how you behaved just now. You don't even have the demeanor of a prince! You're almost the father of two children, and yet you still act so absurdly and irrelevantly. No wonder Concubine Yi would rather stay in the palace than stay at your mansion for a while!"
Yinzhen felt deeply wronged after being scolded, but facing his second brother, who was now the emperor, even though he was extremely dissatisfied and unwilling to accept it, he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Helplessly, he could only stand there, head down, mumbling softly, no one knowing what he was saying.
Looking at the childish Yin'er in front of him, Yinreng could not help but shake his head helplessly and sighed softly, "No matter what that woman is like, she is still your Eighth Sister-in-law. Besides, how can you call her 'Old Eighth' casually? I can tolerate such disrespect in front of me, but you must never be so rude in the future."
Even so, Yinreng still loved his younger brother dearly. He slowed down his tone slightly and told him the whole story in detail.
Yin'er listened quietly. When he heard that the so-called Xiangyan Pills not only harmed Guo Luoluo's body, but even implicated Yinsi, even though he had already parted ways with Yinsi and no longer wanted to be entangled with him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy in his heart.
"My dear brother, this is too pitiful..." Yinzhen thought to himself, and the ignorant and cruel appearance of Guo Luoluo involuntarily emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that he had married a virtuous and gentle wife. Now the two of them had a son and a daughter, and their family was happy and harmonious.
Looking back on the past, Yinzhen was filled with emotion. Thanks to having listened to his second brother's advice, he had never been involved with other women except those bestowed by the Emperor. Now he could spend time with his wife wholeheartedly.
