Chapter 665: Unforeseen Beginnings

Could it be that she's just pretending to be calm? However, the old eunuch knew deep down that regardless of whether she was pretending or not, the depth of this woman's schemes was anything but ordinary!

Ji Xinhe's indifferent eyes scanned the old eunuch, causing him to shudder and clear his throat before barely managing to compose himself, "His Majesty is taking Prince Pingyang into consideration. After all, he's past thirty without any children. Fearing that his bloodline may be in jeopardy, His Majesty decided to grant Prince Pingyang a side consort. In this way, she would share the burden of Princess Pingyang, and perhaps even give birth to a little heir to inherit the prince's title. Wouldn't that be a delightful prospect?"

As the old eunuch spoke, there was an unavoidable tone of schadenfreude. He looked at Ji Xinhe with amusement, waiting for her to become furious with embarrassment.
