Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 534 - : Things Husband and Wife Should Do

Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Things Husband and Wife Should Do

Jiang Yi’s body stiffened slightly, but he had always been fearless. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to disguise himself as a palace maid and enter the harem.

He turned around, put his hands down, and took small steps to walk in front of Li Hongyuan.

Jiang Ning took a bite of the mooncake and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you trying to lay your eyes on my palace maids? Concubine Li is still eagerly waiting for you.”

Li Hongyuan smiled, “I haven’t even touched you yet, how could I touch your palace maids? Princess Consort, you must be overthinking.”

“In that case, Your Highness, please leave if you have no other business. I have a headache and want to rest for a while.”

“Didn’t you say you were feeling unwell and resting before I came here?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Looking at you, it doesn’t seem like you were resting.” Li Hongyuan’s gaze circled around her.

Her attire had always focused on comfort, but today was Mid-Autumn Festival after all, and she had been hoping to see her family, so she dressed more formally.

Her clothes were neat and tidy, not at all like someone who had been lying in bed resting.

Jiang Ning reached out and pulled at her clothes, “Isn’t it because I heard that Your Highness was coming, so I hurriedly put on my clothes? The inside is still a mess.”

“Inside?” Li Hongyuan raised his eyebrows, “Prove to me that you’re not lying.”

“What?”

“Don’t you know how to prove it?” Li Hongyuan tilted his chin, “Take off your outer garment. Let me see how messy it is inside.”

Jiang Ning was stunned.

Of course, she was only casually making excuses.

Although she and Li Hongyuan already had two children, it was under the Emperor’s scheming. She didn’t know if Li Hongyuan had any feelings for her, but she certainly didn’t remember it herself.

From the time they got married, she gave birth to their children; he went to guard the tomb until now, moving into the East Palace.

Li Hongyuan once confessed his feelings, saying he liked her.

But he basically didn’t ask for more.

Except for that one time after getting drunk.

But it was only that once.

And it wasn’t a pleasant memory, making her unwilling to recall it.

So much so that Jiang Ning almost forgot that they were husband and wife and still needed to do some marital things.

When she suddenly heard Li Hongyuan’s demand, she was a bit flustered and somewhat unable to react.

Thinking about the man who always dealt with her in an official manner suddenly asking her to take off her clothes?

Jiang Ning was only startled, but she quickly reacted.

It was Jiang Yi, who was disguised as a palace maid at the side, that was provoked.

He knew that his sister had married the Crown Prince, and it was natural for husband and wife to have intimate matters. But knowing it in his heart was one thing, and seeing it in front of him was another.

As an elder brother, he really couldn’t tolerate another man making such demands on his little sister.

At that moment, he wanted to smash his tray against the Crown Prince’s head.

However, Jiang Ning shot him a glance, stopping him.

Jiang Yi was not impulsive; he bowed his head even lower, hiding the coldness in his eyes.

Jiang Ning sat still, eating her mooncake at a leisurely pace, smiling as she said, “Your Highness must be joking. Do you really need to make someone spell it all out for you?”

“What?” Li Hongyuan stared at her.

“Would you rather hear me say I was resting, or would you rather hear me say I didn’t want to see you, so I asked Gucheng to guard the door?”

Li Hongyuan laughed, “Of course, the former. However, I prefer to hear the truth, even if it’s unpleasant.”

“The truth is, I wasn’t resting. I just had a drink, and I want to be alone for a while. I don’t want to see you.”

“I understand.”

Li Hongyuan put the teacup on the tray in the “palace maid’s” hand and stood up, “Since the Princess Consort doesn’t welcome me, I’ll leave.”

As he said this, he stepped away, walking past the “palace maid” and suddenly remarked, “The palace maids here are quite tall.”
