Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 855 - : Uncommon Pampering_1

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Uncommon Pampering_1

The Emperor was taken aback: “Little Ningzi, does your Crown Prince know about your actions?”

As the Regent, the Crown Prince already wields immense power. What’s more, Li Hongyuan is incredibly smart and capable, handling the affairs of the country with ease. If it weren’t for the sudden emergence of the Prince of Zhao, he would have already won the support of nearly everyone.

Currently, the Prince of Zhao has been sent on a long expedition, which will last at least a year or so.

Normally, this would be a golden opportunity for the Crown Prince. With the Prince of Zhao away, he could consolidate his position and strengthen his power.

By the time the Prince of Zhao returns, he would have lost the power to compete with the Crown Prince.

As the Princess Consort, Jiang Ning should be supporting the Crown Prince with all her might.

...

But instead, she ran to the Emperor and requested him to handle the state affairs, giving the Crown Prince some leisure time.

Isn’t this equivalent to forcing the Crown Prince to give up his position as Regent?

The Emperor looked at her with a meaningful glance: “Did you discuss this with the Crown Prince?”

“No. But I believe he also wants a break.” Jiang Ning said somberly,”Your Majesty may not be aware, but since Jin Liangyuan entered the palace, the Crown Prince has not favored her. Don’t you want more grandchildren?”

The Emperor grunted: “Spare me your nonsense. If the Crown Prince wants to step down, let him come and tell me himself. I will surely support him. As for your words, I can only believe a tenth of it, no more.”

Jiang Ning replied: “Then you’ll have to tolerate my nagging.”

She rapped on the table impatiently: “Where’s the food? I’m hungry.”

All the eunuchs were dumbfounded.

The Emperor reluctantly waved at the eunuch: “Serve the meal.”

The eunuch, still in shock, quickly mad a dash to serve the meal.

The Emperor is strict with his routine, especially the timing of his meals. It’s still far from mealtime, yet he agreed to the unreasonable request of the Princess Consort.

Even the Empress or the long-favored Concubine Jin weren’t allowed to break the Emperor’s mealtime rules.

This shows that the Emperor’s fondness for the Princess Consort was extraordinary.

The eunuch inwardly marveled at this, but did not dare delay his tasks. In no time, a table full of dishes was served.

Jiang Ning had already sat down at the table early on, and as soon as the food was served, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and tasted something she had never seen before.

The Emperor said, “You have no manners.”

“When you used to steal my food, you didn’t look very emperor-like either.” Jiang Ning’s cheeks were puffed up like a squirrel storing walnuts, making her speech unclear.

The Emperor paused, recalling the times he would regularly go to her small, run-down house to freeload meals, he couldn’t help but smile.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Jiang Ning asked, “I’ve always wanted to ask you, back then, did you constantly come over to freeload food because you loved the food I made or because I looked like Lin Zizi?”

“Uh, a bit of both I suppose.” The Emperor replied, slightly awkward.

Jiang Ning mischievously asked, “Then, when you first saw me, a beautiful girl who looked exactly like Lin Zizi, why didn’t you think of bringing me to the palace as a concubine?”

After all, even Concubine Jin, who faintly resembled Lin Zizi, was loved and favored by him. How much more so for her, who looked exactly like Lin Zizi in her youth?

The Emperor put down his chopsticks, displaying a hint of nostalgia, and said quietly, “I did consider it.”

“Ah?”

“Otherwise, how do you think I learned about your background?” The Emperor murmured, “If I was going to bring a woman into the palace, I couldn’t allow her to have an unclear origin, could I? But once I investigated, I found you were the daughter of Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi. I had no choice but to let that brat Li Hongyuan take advantage.”
