Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 536 - : I’ll Stay Here Tonight

Chapter 536: Chapter 536: I’ll Stay Here Tonight

Jiang Yi saw the look in Jiang Ning’s eyes, but he decided to ignore it.

As the eldest son of Prime Minister Jiang, he had fought with the princes when he was young. Now that he had grown up, although he no longer fought, he did not fear these so-called princes in his bones.

What about the princes?

The emperor’s world was guarded by generals and managed by officials.

Jiang Yi was rebellious in nature and did not take the royal family seriously.

Moreover, this crown prince was his brother-in-law. If he dared to bully his sister, he would dare to fight for real.

Seeing that the “palace girl” was still standing, Li Hongyuan couldn’t help but be surprised.

He looked back again.

“Burp!”

Jiang Ning’s loud burp caught his attention once more.

Jiang Ning met Li Hongyuan’s gaze with an awkward smile, “I think I’ll go out for a walk and get some fresh air. Maybe that will stop my hiccups. I know I’m not supposed to leave the East Palace, but maybe we could make an exception if you accompany me?”

This was the first time she had actively asked for his company. Li Hongyuan was silent for a moment and then said, “I don’t allow you to go out, but you still went to see Emperor Father and had a stomach full of wine, didn’t you?”

Jiang Ning grabbed his arm and smiled sweetly, “Today is the Mid-autumn Festival, aren’t you here to accompany me? Let’s go out and enjoy the moon together. And… could you get some fruits and snacks, as well as some chairs? We can enjoy the moon in the courtyard.”

Li Hongyuan couldn’t help but be pulled out by her, leaving the courtyard.

Soon, Huang Ying led several palace maids over.

Gucheng disappeared into an invisible place.

Jiang Yi understood that Li Hongyuan would not bully his sister anymore. After giving his sister a farewell glance, he casually handed the tea tray to a palace girl and left gracefully.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel that Li Hongyuan had given Jiang Yi a meaningful look as he walked away. With Li Hongyuan’s scheming, he had probably recognized Jiang Yi from the beginning.

But he had been holding back without saying anything.

He even deliberately frightened Jiang Ning several times, scaring her hiccups away in the process.

No matter how powerful the Jiang family was, Jiang Yi, as the brother of the Princess Consort, was merely an outsider. Without the Imperial Edict, he couldn’t enter the harem freely.

By disguising himself as a palace girl and entering the palace, he had clearly violated the palace rules.

It’s not a trivial matter, but it depends on whether one wants to pursue it or not.

It seemed that Li Hongyuan didn’t want to pursue the matter at the moment.

This didn’t make Jiang Ning feel grateful. Instead, she felt that his scheming was terrifying.

The two sat face to face in the courtyard, surrounded by the fragrant scent of osmanthus and the moon hanging in the quiet night sky.

At some point, Jiang Ning’s hiccups had stopped.

She held her cup of tea quietly, saying nothing and watching the moon.

Li Hongyuan looked at her, “I will stay here with you tonight.”

“Oh, what? Why?” Jiang Ning, somewhat absent-minded, looked at him in surprise after reacting, “Why stay here with me?”

“You are the Princess Consort. As per the rules, I am supposed to stay with the Princess Consort on the first and fifteenth of every month. Aren’t you aware of the rules of the palace?”

Jiang Ning laughed, “We’ve been married for so long, and you’ve never cared about this rule on the first and fifteenth before.”

Li Hongyuan was silent for a while before saying, “If the Princess Consort feels wronged, I can make up for all the missed first and fifteenth nights.”

Jiang Ning was speechless.

Li Hongyuan: “It seems that the Princess Consort is not very willing?”
