Recently, another rumor about Ye Qiu has spread through the capital, claiming that he dotes on his illegitimate son while neglecting his legitimate son and daughter. Regarding this rumor, some believe it while others do not.
Those who believe do so because they have all seen how the Fifth Prince personally carries his illegitimate son around the entire capital for fun. Those who disbelieve think that since the Fifth Prince adores the Fifth Princess Consort so much, how could he not love the children she bore him? Moreover, the Fifth Princess Consort gave birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix, which are considered auspicious signs. It makes no sense for the Fifth Prince not to cherish them.
However, there are many rumors about Ye Qiu in the capital. Ordinary folks simply listen and laugh it off, but there is one person who is extremely attentive to Lin Jingxian and the two children she gave birth to.
