Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 537 - : Resist Him

Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Resist Him

Jiang Ning was very straightforward: “I’m not willing.”

“As a Princess Consort…”

“I, a Princess Consort!” Jiang Ning cut him off, “can’t leave the East Palace and can’t manage any of its affairs. The meaningless title without any benefits; do you still intend for me to fulfill my duties as a Princess Consort?”

Li Hongyuan laughed: “Once I uncover the truth, all the rights will be restored to you.”

Jiang Ning leisurely swayed her teacup: “The rights granted by others can be taken back whenever they wish.”

“According to your meaning, dear Princess?” Li Hongyuan seemed to laugh, “Under the heavens, besides the Emperor, who has rights not granted by others?”

“Of course, there are. For example, my uncle earned his merits by putting his life on the line. Nobody can snatch that away, including the Emperor.”

“It seems that the Princess Consort also wants to achieve great success on horseback. Unfortunately, your gentle nature prevents you from doing such things.” Li Hongyuan played with his teacup, his voice unhurried and emotionless.

Jiang Ning laughed: “Who said I would lead soldiers to fight? I don’t have that ability. What I mean is, I don’t need any rights you give, and I don’t want to interfere in East Palace’s trifles. If Li Yuanyuan likes it, let her handle it. In contrast, I don’t want anything from you, and you shouldn’t expect any benefits from me either.”

“You don’t want anything I give you? Including the identity of the Princess Consort?”

“If you would let go of the Jiang Family, I would certainly let go of the position of Princess Consort.”

“If you left the East Palace, would you go looking for Wenren Thirteen? He is in exile, and I fear he has no hopes of returning to Chang’an City in this life.”

“If he never comes back, so be it.”

“If you think so much of him, why not go there to accompany him?”

“Are you trying to scare me, Your Highness?” Jiang Ning laughed, “If I go, I go. With love, drinking water can satisfy our hunger. The desolation there is temporary; who knows what the future holds.”

Li Hongyuan laughed.

It was full of disdain.

Jiang Ning laughed too.

He knew nothing.

Based on the map, Wenren Zong’s exile is actually a prosperous tourist attraction in the future.

Merely an ancient man.

A shortsighted vision.

At this moment, neither of them had any regard for each other.

When conversation isn’t engaging, every word is excessive.

But Li Hongyuan didn’t leave.

It seemed that he had made up his mind to spend the night here.

Jiang Ning had no intention of sharing a bed with him.

That one time they became intimate after getting drunk was shameful, not a beautiful memory.

Moreover, their marriage was just a transaction. Li Hongyuan’s confessions were half-true and half-false. Since returning from the Imperial Mausoleum, his attitude has been hard to decipher.

Jiang Ning mulled over several ideas and finally decided to be straightforward.

“Your Highness, when we got married, neither of us wanted it. Later, when we reconciled, it was because of our individual motives. You know… ”

“I know, you don’t like me.” Li Hongyuan’s voice faded, “But I’ve also said that I, at least, like you. Regardless of who you have in your heart, since you’ve become Princess Consort, do you really think you won’t share a bed with me for the rest of your life?”

“Why not? After all, I’m not the only woman by your side.” Jiang Ning thought for a moment, “If you must stay, Your Highness, that’s fine. Huang Ying, go prepare a room for His Highness to rest.”

Although, she always said she wanted to hold onto his coattails, from her body to her heart, she couldn’t help but resist him.
