Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1608: A heartless and unfaithful man!
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the glass window onto Ye Mingsheng's face. Feeling a little dazzling, Ye Mingsheng opened his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.

Just as Ye Mingsheng was rubbing his sleepy eyes to regain consciousness, a fragrant breeze blew over, and then a sweet voice came to Ye Mingsheng's ears.

"Your Majesty! It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer!"

Ye Mingsheng didn't care when he heard this and asked:

"What time is it now?"

Chen Rouer thought for a moment and said:

"It seems like it's already morning!"

Hearing the word "Chenshi", Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, then said with some blame:

"Didn't I tell you last night to call me at 15:30?"

Chen Rouer heard this and said with some grievance:
"I just woke up, too. I saw you sleeping so soundly just now. I thought that you were very busy with official duties and very tired last night. Now that you finally have a chance to rest, I naturally wanted to let you sleep a little longer!"

After saying that, Chen Rouer also hugged one of Ye Mingsheng's arms and looked at Ye Mingsheng aggrievedly.

Although he was a little angry, since it had already happened, Ye Mingsheng did not lose his temper but instead ordered in a deep voice:
'Where are my clothes?'
Seeing Ye Mingsheng in a hurry to leave, Chen Rouer seemed a little jealous and let go of Ye Mingsheng's arm and said:
"Your Majesty, it's already noon, and people are probably about to have breakfast, what are you still doing?"

Hearing Chen Rouer say this, Ye Mingsheng was also stunned and asked back:

"You knew I was going to the Queen Mother's this morning?"

Chen Rouer snorted softly, and then spoke in a slightly pretentious tone:
"Everyone knows that our Majesty is a filial son..."

Seeing that Chen Rouer had planned not to call him, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but ask:
"Are you sick?"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Chen Rouer became even more angry and said in a very arrogant tone:

"I'm just sick!"

Without waiting for Ye Mingsheng to react, Chen Rouer threw herself into Ye Mingsheng's arms, leaning against his chest and whispering:

"I have fallen in love with your Majesty! I just want your Majesty to be with me every moment!"

As soon as Ye Mingsheng said these two words, although his expression remained unchanged, his heart was moved.

At this time, Chen Rouer continued to speak in Ye Mingsheng's arms:
"I just don't want to see you, Your Majesty, with that old woman!"

After saying this, Chen Rouer realized that her words seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, and immediately added:

"I'm talking about the Queen! She's old and evil! She always bullies us!"

Hearing Chen Rouer say this, Ye Mingsheng was speechless. An Miaoyi was about one and a half years younger than him. In Ye Mingsheng's eyes, she was in her prime and most feminine!
I never thought that in Chen Rouer's eyes, An Miaoyi has become an old woman. However, Chen Rouer is only twenty years old this year, and An Miaoyi is more than ten years older than Chen Rouer. The age gap is indeed not small.

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything, Chen Rouer continued:
"Your Majesty, don't you also dislike that old woman?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng glanced at the maids and maids beside him. Although Ye Mingsheng did not know these people, based on his understanding of An Miaoyi, he knew that there was a high chance that An Miaoyi was one of them. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng immediately spoke:

"Concubine Rou, stop talking nonsense here! The Queen is in her prime, a model for women in the world. If you keep talking nonsense, I will punish you severely!"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, Chen Rouer was a little puzzled at first, then became a little anxious and said immediately:

"Your Majesty, you were in bed with me last night..."

Seeing that Chen Rouer was still talking nonsense, Ye Mingsheng had no choice but to slap Chen Rouer in the face, which immediately interrupted Chen Rouer's words.

Although Ye Mingsheng did not use too much force in this slap, and it had more symbolic meaning than practical significance, Chen Rouer still shed tears. She covered her cheeks with her hands and looked at Ye Mingsheng very aggrieved.

Seeing that Chen Rouer still didn't understand, in order to stop her from talking nonsense, Ye Mingsheng also warned her in a deep voice:

"I'm telling you this slap is a warning to you! If you continue to talk nonsense, I will never forgive you. Chen Rouer, do you understand?"

Looking at Ye Mingsheng with a serious and cold expression, Chen Rouer's tears started to flow even more. She seemed unable to understand how the man who was so affectionate with her last night could become so cold and heartless and turn his back on her just a few hours later!

Although she felt very aggrieved and puzzled, Ye Mingsheng's sharp gaze forced Chen Rouer to give in and said:

"I understand! I dare not talk nonsense anymore..."

Hearing Chen Rouer say this, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and instructed the maid beside him:
"Bring me my clothes!"

After a cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng quickly put on his clothes, drank a cup of tea, and quickly left Chen Rouer's courtyard.

Although Chen Rouer did not dare to lose her temper under Ye Mingsheng's pressure, when she saw that Ye Mingsheng had left, Chen Rouer immediately started to tremble and began to smash the porcelain in the room and tear up books to vent her anger.

Seeing Chen Rouer going so crazy, the maids beside her were trembling with fear, and dared not make a sound even when they were splashed by broken porcelain fragments.

But Chen Rouer was just a little girl after all, and she didn't have much physical strength. After smashing a few bottles and tearing a few books, she was exhausted and sat on the sofa and started crying. At this moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman walked into the room.

Although Mei Niang was just dealing with something outside and didn't know what happened in the house, but looking at the mess on the floor in front of her and Chen Rouer crying on the sofa, Mei Niang could roughly guess what had happened.

After hesitating for a moment, Mei Niang gave a look to the maids and nannies beside her. Seeing this, the maids and nannies immediately felt as if they had been pardoned and left the room immediately. After they left, Mei Niang closed the door, then carefully came to Chen Rouer's side and asked in a flexible manner:
"Miss!"

Mei Niang had just opened her mouth when Chen Rouer started to curse:
"Get out! Get out of here, all of you!"

"I don't want to see you bastards!"

"They are all heartless bastards!"

“None of you deserve this retribution! Bastards!” Facing Chen Rouer’s series of angry insults, Mei Niang seemed to be the one being scolded, but in fact, she also knew that Chen Rouer was not scolding her. She immediately stood aside respectfully, quietly waiting for Chen Rouer to calm down...
Another cup of tea passed, and the emotional Chen Rouer finally calmed down. She looked at Mei Niang and said bitterly:
"Mei Niang, you are right! None of these men are good! All men are the same!"

"In order to sleep with you, he said things that sounded better than singing. He clearly told me that it was better to be with me and that he didn't want to see that old woman again. But when the sun rose, he denied everything he said! He even hit me. What an ungrateful person! An unfaithful man!"

"No wonder people say he has the eyes of an eagle and the look of a wolf! He looks so heartless and cold-hearted!"

Seeing that Chen Rouer was getting more and more outrageous, Mei Niang quickly reminded her:
"My queen! Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall!"

"This is my place! What are you afraid of!"

Although she said this, Chen Rouer's voice became more restrained.

Seeing that Chen Rouer had regained her sanity, Mei Niang also spoke softly to comfort her:

"My lady, this is normal! No matter if they are high-ranking officials or common peddlers, all men are the same. When it comes to coaxing you into sex, they will do anything. Even if you ask them to call you mom, they will do it shamelessly!"

"But these men will deny their deeds once they put on their pants. Moreover, our Queen is so powerful that even His Majesty has to respect her!"

Although she knew what Mei Niang said was true, Chen Rouer still said angrily:
"Then there's nothing we can do?"

"Of course there is a way! Your Majesty may be a big tree with deep roots, but a big tree also attracts the wind..."

Hearing what Mei Niang said, Chen Rou'er was a little confused and immediately asked:
"What do you mean, Mei Niang?"

"Your Majesty, do you think that your Majesty rose from humble beginnings, swept across the country in ten years, defeated Luobei and Qipchaq in the north, and pacified Yunqian in the south? Can he be called the greatest emperor of all time?"

Facing Mei Niang's question, although Chen Rouer was still a little indignant about the slap Ye Mingsheng had just given her, she nodded with pride when she thought of Ye Mingsheng's great achievements.

Seeing Chen Rouer nod, Mei Niang continued to speak:

"My lady, Emperor Taizong of Tang said that a man can use copper as a mirror to adjust his attire, history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of nations, and people as a mirror to understand gains and losses!"

"So think about these emperors in history. How many of their eldest sons were able to successfully become emperors? And how many of them had a good ending?"

"The first emperor of Qin was definitely Qin Shi Huang. His crown prince Fusu was killed by Zhao Gao and Li Si who forged the imperial edict. In the end, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne!"

"Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, had a crown prince named Liu Ying, who was born to Empress Lü. Although Liu Ying succeeded to the throne smoothly, he only lived for seven years. Although Empress Lü later came to power, didn't the Lü family end up being exterminated?

"Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was an emperor who would be remembered for generations, but in the end, the father did not know the son, and the son did not know the father. They believed what the villain said and killed the crown prince Liu Ju. Empress Wei Zifu also committed suicide!

"Tang Taizong Li Shimin was a great Khan, but his eldest son Li Chengqian was exiled and died at the age of 26!"

"All these examples are here, why are you so anxious, Madam..."

After saying this, Mei Niang saw that Chen Rou'er was still a little confused, and her voice became lower and more explicit:
"Your Majesty is thirty-five this year, in the prime of life, and will live at least another twenty or thirty years in the future!"

"This means that His Highness Jingren may have to be the Crown Prince for 20 to 30 years. By then, His Highness Jingren will be in his 30s or 40s. Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a Crown Prince who has been a Crown Prince for 30 years?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Rouer's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and at this time Mei Niang also continued:
"Even if His Highness Jingren can wait, can the Queen wait?"

Chen Rouer was also excited when she heard Mei Niang's words. She immediately grabbed Mei Niang's arm and asked expectantly:

"So what should I do now?"

Mei Niang continued:

"My queen, this harem has always emphasized that a mother's status is based on her sons. There has never been a woman who is forever young in this world, but there are always young women. So if you want to gain a foothold in this harem, my queen, you can't be alone!"

Hearing this, Chen Rouer said with some distress:

"I know I need to get pregnant, but I just can't. I've taken a lot of medicine, but I just can't get pregnant. Why is God doing this to me?"

After saying this, Chen Rouer seemed to have thought of something and asked Mei Niang:
"Mei Niang, do you think it's possible that this isn't my problem?"

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment when she heard Chen Rouer say this. If having a child is not the woman's problem, then it must be the man's problem?

Although she didn't know what Chen Rou'er was thinking, Mei Niang still reminded her carefully:

"Your Majesty has five sons and three daughters. These eight children were born to five concubines..."

Upon hearing what Mei Niang said, Chen Rouer sighed and her expression became very melancholy!
"I also know that Your Majesty has eight children, so it is impossible that he cannot have children, but why do you think I am so unlucky?"

After saying that, Chen Rouer hit her stomach hard and cursed:

"You are so disappointing! You are so disappointing!"

Seeing Chen Rou'er's good news, Mei Niang also comforted her:
"You are still young, my queen! There is no need to worry too much. Pregnancy will come quickly. As long as you take good care of your body and fight His Majesty at the right time, you will be pregnant soon!"

With Mei Niang's comfort, Chen Rouer's sadness was relieved a little, and then she said with some concern:

"But I am worried about your Majesty's health!"

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. His Majesty is only 35 years old. Some old men in the countryside are already 50 years old, and they can still get pregnant!"

"Your Highness, please relax! We will find a few good doctors to treat you, and then wait for a suitable day. There will be no problem by then. You look blessed! The child you will have in the future will be priceless!"

“The heirs of the great emperors such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Wu of Han were all young sons who succeeded to the throne. It is not good to have a son too early. A younger son is the most suitable and most likely to ascend the throne. Your Majesty, your blessing is still to come…”
