Chapter 1077: Chapter 1071: Prone to Jealousy

Now what? You’ve been married for so long, and the Crown Prince dotes on you alone, yet there’s no joyous news from you. Could it be that your body is simply incapable of bearing children?

If you can’t have children, it’s not a big deal. The Imperial Family chose you and will naturally not mistreat you, but you must not delay the continuation of our lineage because of this. I, the Empress, will decide to select one Consort and two Noble Concubines for the Crown Prince. That way, the Crown Prince Residence will also be a bit livelier. What do you think?"

She was quite thoughtful in arranging a mahjong game for her.

Lin Qianqing was anxiously wringing her handkerchief, looking at her. She knew that among the people chosen by the Empress, one of them was the second daughter of Prime Minister Zhang. That woman’s literary grace was not as good as her sister’s, but she had far more cunning schemes—it was troublesome.

Cousin, you must never agree.

The wife of Prince Qin had an expressionless face. It was someone else’s affair and had nothing to do with her; she simply rested lightly against the back of her chair.

Gu Youyou respectfully said to the Empress: "This is not something I can decide. You should ask the Crown Prince if he agrees."

The Empress smiled and said: "Of course I will ask him, but I didn’t want to upset you, so I’m telling you first. Don’t worry about what the Crown Prince thinks for now. You tell me, are you willing?"

Heh heh...

Gu Youyou chuckled dryly: "If Mother is only asking for Youyou’s opinion, then Youyou will boldly speak her mind. If it’s about accepting concubines for one’s own husband, if Youyou were to accept happily, there must be something wrong with my head.

I used to have some health issues, but my mind has always been very clear, so I’m unwilling."

"You... How dare you!"

The Empress had calculated everything but never expected Gu Youyou to outright refuse, and to do so in such a rebellious manner.

If it were an ordinary woman, even unwilling, she would nod in agreement. Just pushing this trouble onto the man would be considered bold, but Gu Youyou isn’t just pushing this trouble onto a man, she’s also rejecting so... directly and angrily.

With each of these statements, she could be labeled jealous. Isn’t she afraid of that?

"Mother, Youyou is just telling the truth!" Gu Youyou responded calmly.

The Empress snorted coldly and said: "Such jealousy, it’s a disgrace to be the daughter-in-law of the Imperial Family. For the princes to continue the imperial bloodline is of utmost importance, so it’s not for you to be unwilling.

The Crown Prince Residence has been lacking for so long, and the legitimate wife has been infertile for a long time, so I will make the decision for you and grant the Crown Prince one Consort and two Noble Concubines."

Gu Youyou looked at her indifferently, without retorting.

Wanting to stuff people into the residence, you might ignore me, a principal wife with no backing, but Jin Zijin is not afraid of you. If you have the guts, try forcing a few women on him in front of his face?

Pushing back is a minor issue, but causing the Empress to lose face wouldn’t look good.

The Empress glared coldly at Gu Youyou a few more times, and seeing that she did not oppose any further, temporarily let her be.

Then, she turned her gaze to Lin Qianqing, and her look suddenly became a few degrees colder.

"Wife of Prince Jin, since you were young, I have been especially fond of you. But do tell, why is there still no news of pregnancy among the concubines in Prince Jin Residence up to now?"

This question puzzled Gu Youyou as well. It had been over two years, hadn’t it? Prince Jin had married such a big group of women, yet not a single one had become pregnant.

It’s quite possible that Prince Jin himself has problems. There are various causes of infertility, and without modern technology, it’s hard to diagnose. Perhaps Prince Jin’s lineage will end.
