Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Jealous Wife
Jiang Ning and Li Hongyuan walked back to the East Palace together.
Just as they sat down, Xiachu ca in, shivering from the cold, and said, “Master, it’s snowing outside. Such big snowflakes, like goose feathers.”
It wasn’t unusual for it to snow on the first day of the new year, and the room wasn’t cold, but Huang Ying still added a few more pieces of silver frost charcoal.
Li Hongyuan cautioned, “Lingzi has a weak constitution, don’t let her play in the snow and catch a cold.”
“This servant will rember.” Chunlai hastily agreed.
“Aren’t you afraid Wenzan will catch a cold?” Jiang Ning asked her.
“Xiaoqian and Wenzan are both boys. It doesn’t matter if they just play in the snow, even if they stay in the snow all night, it’s a way to strengthen their muscles and bones. There’s nothing to worry about. If boys are pampered, they’ll beco useless.”
“Hehe.”
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes and said to Chunlai, “If Lingzi wants to play in the snow, let her. As long as she wants to, whether it’s playing in the snow, horse riding, or archery, let her learn.”
Li Hongyuan stared at her.
Jiang Ning said, “Your Highness, there’s no need to stare at like that. Wenzan and Lingzi are both my children, and I treat them equally. I won’t raise them differently based on their gender.”
“Indiscriminate bias? If Lingzi likes horse riding and archery, that’s fine. But if Wenzan likes embroidery, will you indulge him?”
Jiang Ning seriously thought about it: “Not indulgence, but support.”
“Hehe.”
Li Hongyuan sneered at her, too.
Jiang Ning said, “Is there anything shaful about liking embroidery, or will it cost one’s life?”
“A man who likes embroidery?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Jiang Ning retorted, “Liking embroidery doesn’t an he’s not smart, doesn’t read, or has no sense of responsibility. It doesn’t conflict with anything else. Do you know how difficult it is for a person to find sothing they truly enjoy?”
Li Hongyuan said, “I won’t argue with you. If Wenzan dares to embroider, I’ll break his legs.”
“Try it and see.”
Li Hongyuan sneered repeatedly, “Jiang Ning, that’s how you raise children? If you spoil Wenzan, what good does it do you? Can you still count on him?”
“Since Lingzi has no right to inherit, of course I can only rely on Wenzan.” Jiang Ning added in her heart, “Otherwise, how can I beco the most powerful Empress Dowager in the world?”
Li Hongyuan said, “Even if he were the legitimate eldest son, I wouldn’t consider letting him inherit. I can have other sons. If you don’t want to have children, naturally there will be other won who will.”
“You try letting soone else give birth.”
“You’re… openly threatening ?” Li Hongyuan knew she was clever, but didn’t expect her to dare say such words to him.
Jiang Ning looked straight into his eyes and said word by word, “That’s right, I won’t allow you to have children with other won. Absolutely not! If you dare let soone else get pregnant, I’ll dare to take action.”
“On what grounds?”
“No grounds, I just don’t allow it,” Jiang Ning said.
“Tonight I’ll go to Jin Liangyuan’s room, what can you do about it?”
“You’re not allowed!” Jiang Ning slamd the table. “Today is the first day of the new year, and by custom, you can only spend the night here. If you dare go to soone else’s room, I’ll go to Emperor Father and complain, and make him rebuke you!”
Li Hongyuan stared at her for a mont and said, “Jealous wife.”
He left with a flick of his sleeve.
Eunuch Li Quan hurriedly followed and cautiously asked, “Master, are we going to Jin Liangyuan’s place now? This servant will send soone ahead to inform her, so Jin Liangyuan can prepare.”
