Chapter 642: The Ti When She Cries
Jiang Ning raised her hand: “Get up.”
Li Yuanyuan stood up.
Jiang Ning glanced at her through the mirror and asked with a smile, “Does Concubine Li like children?”
“There isn’t a woman who doesn’t like children. It’s just natural.”
“Does Concubine Li want to have her own child?”
“If I say I don’t want to, Princess Consort definitely won’t believe , let alone the Princess Consort, even I wouldn’t believe myself.” Li Yuanyuan spoke softly and slowly, “But, as long as Princess Consort doesn’t wish for to have children, I won’t have children.”
Jiang Ning laughed: “Concubine Li, you are putting too much weight on this matter. You have been with the Crown Prince longer than . It is your right to have children. It doesn’t matter whether I want it or not. If the Crown Prince wants you to have children, you can.”
Li Yuanyuan remained silent, bowing her head.
“It’s getting late. I should go now.” Jiang Ning adjusted her own earring, held Xiachu’s hand, and walked out.
“I respectfully see off the Princess Consort.”
After Li Yuanyuan kneeled and bowed, she watched Jiang Ning’s slender and elegant figure slowly walk away, her expression sowhat complicated.
Why did she suddenly ask that question just now?
Did she want her to have a child, or not?
Li Yuanyuan, who had always been good at reading people and gauging their thoughts, couldn’t guess the mind of the Princess Consort for a mont.
…
Jiang Ning went outside and found that it was snowing again.
Li Hongyuan was holding a black umbrella, wearing a black cloak, standing in the midst of the vast white landscape.
“Xiachu, get my cloak, the one with the hood.” Jiang Ning instructed.
Huang Ying had already brought the cloak and handed another umbrella to Xiachu.
Jiang Ning just laughed: “It’s not raining, why would we need an umbrella? The cloak is good enough.”
She put on the hood, white and fluffy, encircling her clear, snowy, beautiful face. Her eyes shone like two bright pearls.
She was at the purest and most beautiful age for a girl.
Li Hongyuan raised his hand and picked off a snowflake that had fallen on her eyelashes, saying softly, “Let’s go.”
Jiang Ning gathered both hands in her sleeves and stepped forward with small cloth shoes on her feet, walking beside him.
As if to accommodate Jiang Ning, Li Hongyuan also walked very slowly.
Jiang Ning asked, “How many years has the Crown Prince had Concubine Li?”
Li Hongyuan hesitated for a mont and said, “She has been with for about five or six years.”
“Why hasn’t Concubine Li had a child all these years?”
“What is the purpose of asking this?”
“I am, after all, the Main Consort of the Crown Prince; it is my duty to be concerned about the issue of his offspring.”
“If a woman cannot conceive, besides her own physical reasons, what do you think is the cause?”
Jiang Ning thought and said, “The Crown Prince does not want her to conceive.”
Li Hongyuan did not speak, seeming to acquiesce.
Jiang Ning asked again, “Why don’t you want her to have a child?”
“If I don’t want her to, then I don’t want her to. Do I need a reason?” Li Hongyuan said coldly, “Instead of concerning yourself with other won’s wombs, you should think about yourself.”
“There’s nothing for to think about.”
“As the Princess Consort, serving the Crown Prince in bed is your duty. However, you drugged . Do you think this matter can be easily brushed aside?”
“I didn’t do it, Your Highness must be overthinking it.” Jiang Ning firmly refused to admit it, and cried injustice.
Li Hongyuan sneered and did not say anything more.
This woman, she was a typical case of not shedding tears until she saw the coffin.
In the future, there would be ti for her to cry.
…
The two of them ca to the Crystal Frost Hall together first to greet the Emperor.
The Crystal Frost Hall was warm enough to make people sweat, and the Emperor was wrapped in a thick blanket, leaning against a brazier, dozing off with his head down. When he saw the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort, he just nodded, clearly not in good spirits.
