Chapter 854: Chapter 854: The Princess Consort is very free _1
Jiang Ning sat across the table, toying with the four treasures of the study on the table, propped her cheek on her hand and casually said, “Emperor, how about we stop with this dicine?”
The Emperor was taken aback, his gaze shifted towards the bowl.
Jiang Ning picked up the bowl and casually handed it to a eunuch nearby, “Throw this out.”
The eunuch took it without thinking but hesitated to dispose of it.
This was the Emperor’s dicine, what authority did the Princess Consort have to throw it out on a whim?
The Emperor shot Jiang Ning a few glances, snorted and said,” Girl, what do you an by this? You want to stop this old man from taking his dicine?”
...
“If you were sick and needed dicine, I certainly couldn’t stop you.”
“This is also for treating sickness.”
“Are you sick?” Jiang Ning retorted.
“…I suppose you could say that.”
“That’s not illness, that’s aging,” Jiang Ning bluntly told the Emperor,” Do you think aging is a disease? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of life. As an Emperor, if you can’t accept natural aging, how can you guide your subjects?”
Her words left the Emperor speechless until he reacted and banged the table, shouting: “I’m just taking so dicine, why are you overcomplicating things?”
“dicine is like a poison at tis,” Jiang Ning said languidly, “If you keep drinking these things, it would be like drinking poison to quench your thirst.”
“It’s not that serious, Old Dong prescribed the dicine and it’s not too strong.” The Emperor waved his hand, “Nevermind, nevermind, ha-ha.”
Jiang Ning said, “By not taking care of your health, aren’t you making Her Majesty the Empress worry?”
The Emperor imdiately looked suspicious, “Did the Empress send you?”
“No, I just wandered in here.”
“Humph, no need to cover for the Empress. I know exactly what kind of person she is. She appears tolerant and virtuous, but she is very jealous.”
Jiang Ning just smiled.
“What are you laughing at?”
“If the Empress didn’t even have a hint of jealousy, that would an she doesn’t care about you.” Jiang Ning said with deep aning, “For example, my mother definitely wouldn’t worry about you drinking dicine.”
“…”
When Lin Zizi was ntioned, the Emperor waved his hand in disinterest and told the eunuch holding the dicine to leave the room.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch quickly took the dicine and retreated.
Jiang Ning added, “Emperor, in fact, you can use this opportunity to test who in the harem truly cares for you and who simply desires your power and status.”
“I have no interest in knowing.”
The emperor casually leaned back, “This would only bring unnecessary burdens.”
“Does Your Majesty not value sincerity?”
“How can I not value sincerity? I just don’t care about the sincerity of those who don’t matter.” The Emperor lazily said, “Alright, I’ll stop taking the dicine from now on, you can leave. Don’t bother anymore. Instead of managing the Crown Prince, you are ddling with .”
On hearing these words from the Emperor, Jiang Ning beca even more determined not to leave.
She even asked the eunuch, “What does the Emperor usually have for his als? Bring them up early, I’ll dine with Father Emperor.”
The Emperor:”…Am I supposed to welco your company? Are you that idle? Can you find sothing aningful to do?”
“Nothing at all.”
Jiang Ning bored, “The harem has their own respective mothers, the East Palace has Concubine Li, the Crown Prince is busy with public affairs, and the children are all taken with Dean Lin.”
She spread her hands: “What else can I do? I’m really just bored.”
The Emperor rolled his eyes and suddenly showed a kind smile: “Princess Consort, since you have so much free ti, you might as well spend more ti chatting with Concubine Ya.”
“No.”
“Why? She got injured saving Lingzi. Both emotionally and rationally…”
“Both emotionally and rationally, I don’t care about her.” Jiang Ning blinked her big eyes, “Emperor, why don’t you busy yourself with public affairs, let the Crown Prince have so ti to accompany ?”
