Chapter 37: Chapter 37: That Beautiful Young Man

The young girl looked very casual, quite different from the dignified and noble air of the beauty in the painting.

However, their facial features were indeed about eighty or ninety percent similar.

The man in the brocade robe threw the small portrait back to his subordinate and said indifferently: “Burn the painting.”

The subordinate responded, stuffed the portrait into his chest, hesitated for a while, and whispered: “Master, although Miss Jiang Seventh resembles the second wife of the Jiang Family, she is, after all, disabled… Do you really want to choose her as the Main Consort? It seems too unfair for you.”

The man said coldly: “What do you think is more important, the imperial throne or a woman?”

“Of course, the imperial throne is more important.”

“As long as this woman can bring me a slight chance of inheriting the imperial throne, I don’t care if she is just a cripple; even if she is bedridden and unable to move, I can carry her in the sedan chair.”

The subordinate hastily replied, “Master is right, it was my stupidity.”

There could be many choices for the Main Consort; if it doesn’t work out, another one can always be chosen later.

There won’t be a shortage of women in the future of his residence.

However, there is only one imperial throne that is high above all others.

It would be worth marrying a crippled woman as the main consort for the sake of the throne; after all, it is only a minor grievance.

“By the way, I just heard that the girl is not well.”

“I don’t care about her health, as long as she can make it through to the final selection and not die.”

The man in the brocade robe finished speaking coldly and turned around to leave.

He had been standing with his back against the large tree before, and when he turned around, a glimpse of his handsome face flashed like an orchid and jade tree, which captivated people’s attention.

Jiang Ning was unintentionally wandering around when she caught a glimpse of him and was immediately struck by his beauty.

There was such a handsome and elegant young man in the palace. With just his back to the onlooker, his broad shoulders and narrow waist made a tall and straight figure. His eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful with just a glimpse.

This was a rare beauty.

And his back looked somehow familiar.

After a moment of thought, she remembered.

Wasn’t he the young man who took away Xiaoqian on the boat that day?

The cape must also have belonged to him.

Since Xiaoqian was the emperor’s eldest grandson, this young man must also be a royal nobleman, most likely one of the princes.

As for which one, it would be inappropriate to guess wildly.

The present emperor had five sons in total, the eldest son died young, leaving behind a young heir. The remaining four sons were all crowned princes, and except for the youngest, the Fifth Prince – Prince of Yu, unmarried, the other princes had moved out of the palace after getting married.

Jiang Ning got these rough messages from Jiang Yan, who had been babbling about them during their carriage ride.

She didn’t listen that carefully.

However, if that handsome young man was really Old Man Li’s son, it would be hard to believe.

Could Old Man Li, with that face of a butcher, give birth to such a handsome son?

On second thought, it must be because Old Man Li’s wife was a stunning beauty.

Jiang Ning’s mind was filled with gossip, nearly forgetting her own situation until the round-faced palace maid who brought her wheelchair came and pushed her back to Cloudview Pavilion.

“This is a forbidden area inside the palace, and the inner court of the harem. Miss should not walk around at will. If you offend any lady, it would be a serious matter.” The round-faced palace maid whispered.

Jiang Ning looked at her and smiled: “You seem to take good care of me.”

The round-faced palace maid replied, “This servant is called Huang Ying. My parents were both servants of the Jiang family. Later, they received great kindness from the second madam and were released from their servitude. I was born a free citizen, and our family is grateful to the second madam. So, when I saw you, miss, I felt close and familiar.”

So that was the reason.

“How long have you been in the palace?”

“Five years.” Huang Ying replied with a smile on her lips, “In another three years, I will turn twenty-five and will be allowed to leave the palace. Then, I can reunite with my family.”

Jiang Ning nodded and asked, “What are the other girls doing over there?”

“After the nanny finishes talking about the rules, the next step is to examine their bodies. I was ordered by the nanny to ask you to come over..”
