Chapter 700: Chapter 700: The Scroll King
Li Hongyuan asked, “You say we are husband and wife, but you always urge to be with other won.”
“Then stay here.”
Jiang Ning lay in the bed, only showing her face, and patted the space next to her, “Co lie down.”
Li Hongyuan frowned.
“Let’s sleep.” Jiang Ning said again.
“This is sothing you asked for. Don’t regret it later.” Li Hongyuan began to undo his buttons.
Seeing this, Huang Ying quickly signaled the little palace maids to leave with her.
Li Hongyuan didn’t sleep here all night.
After he had his way with Jiang Ning and saw her fall asleep, he covered her with a blanket and left the bed.
He still had a lot of work to do.
When Jiang Ning woke up, there was no one beside her, but she didn’t mind.
Huang Ying brought her a bowl of dicine: “Master, do you want to drink it?”
Jiang Ning took a sniff, and although she didn’t want to, she drank it down in one gulp.
With this bowl of dicine, she lost her appetite for breakfast completely.
Huang Ying said sympathetically: “Master, don’t drink the dicine anymore, His Highness has never asked you to drink it.”
“I’m not doing this for him. I’m doing it for myself.” Jiang Ning rubbed her temples, “I don’t want to have any more children.”
“Is it because you’re afraid of the pain?”
“It’s not just that.” Jiang Ning whispered, “Yu Shengshou, who cut my leg bones, told that during pregnancy and childbirth, the bones of a woman’s body can change, which may affect my leg.”
Huang Ying exclaid: “Then, Master, you must never get pregnant again.”
“I don’t want to take the risk of becoming disabled again just to continue the Li family line.”
“It’s alright. We already have two little Highnesses.” Huang Ying smiled.
“And there’s Xiaoqian.”
“Right, Xiaoqian is the sa as the children of the Master.” Huang Ying held the porridge, “Please, at least have a bite.”
Jiang Ning took the porridge and ate it in small bites, asking, “What ti did the Crown Prince leave last night?”
“More than an hour later,” Huang Ying whispered. “He didn’t go to Concubine Li’s place, nor to the Plum Blossom Cottage. He went back to his own residence.”
Jiang Ning laughed: “Diligent King.”
“Which king?”
“I ant I was praising his diligence.” Jiang Ning put down her bowl and chopsticks, “Today is the first day of the new year, don’t we have to kowtow to the Emperor and Empress?”
“Yes.”
Huang Ying hurriedly said, “All the little Highnesses are ready.”
At this ti, Li Yuanyuan and Jin Man were also dressed up and ca together to greet Jiang Ning, saying auspicious words.
Everyone gathered together and headed to Phoenix Blessing Palace to pay their respects to the Empress.
Most of the concubines were already there.
Princess Zhenming was also there.
She hadn’t received an official title yet and sat at the very end. When she saw Jiang Ning leading people over, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
The concubines all showed curiosity when they saw Jin Man behind Jiang Ning.
They had not seen this legendary first beauty of Silla because the Emperor and Empress left early.
The Empress smiled: “Is this Jin Man? She really is extraordinary.”
Jin Man knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the Empress.
The Empress rewarded her and asked them all to sit down and talk.
Li Tingqian held Wenzan and Lingzi’s hands, leading them forward to kowtow to the Empress.
“Good children, get up quickly.”
The Empress imdiately smiled and personally helped them up, grabbing a handful of golden lon seeds and filling their pockets full.
Li Tingqian was her biological grandson. Even though she was pretending, she truly loved Li Tingqian.
As for Wenzan and Lingzi, despite having no blood relationship with her, she still had to give them the face they deserved while others were watching.
