Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 890 - Lights Out_1

Chapter 890: Chapter 890 Lights Out_1

Although the night had grown deep, Li Hongyuan left at a relaxed pace.

Chunlai furrowed her brows, following him to the courtyard entrance. She stood there, stretching her neck for a long view in the direction of the departing Crown Prince, for a while.

Unable to bear it any longer, Huang Ying chided, “Are you done watching? Come and help the master to bed if you are.”

With a huff, Chunlai retorted, “Master, you are strange. When Crown Prince comes here, it shows he cares for you, yet you push him away.”

“I am just avoiding inviting more hatred,” The master responded nonchalantly.

“You are the Princess Consort, who would dare to resent you?”

...

“You did not see, despite Concubine Jin being showered with such favor, she became a thorn in everyone’s side in the harem. So, what if the Emperor showers her with unbridled love while still keeping many women in the harem? Has he ever considered Concubine Jin’s position?”

Chunlai disagreed, “The emperor’s favor towards his concubines is his royal benevolence. The ones who are wrong are those who are envious of the concubine, not the Emperor. Moreover, you are the Crown Prince’s Main Consort, who would dare to act so?”

“Alright, I get it.”

Jiang Ning, with a wave of her hand, “I’ll read for a while before sleeping, you too can retire.”

Looking disappointed, Chunlai, along with Huang Ying, tidied up and sat under the corridor, lost in her thoughts.

Xiachu, passing by, jested with a laugh, “Why are you more concerned about this than our master? Could it be that you want to climb higher branches?”

Chunlai instantly flared up, “Nonsense! If I harbored such thoughts, may I be struck by lightning!”

“It was just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously?” Xiachu retorted, “You are already busy all day, go to sleep. Some matters don’t need your intervention, don’t think needlessly. He’s the Crown Prince, our Great Sheng’s future king, there are going to be many concubines, can you stop him from going to them?”

“The best option would be not to go, I hope that the Crown Prince can be devoted to our master.”

“Don’t forget, when we initially followed our master to Prince of Yu’s Mansion, the Crown Prince already had a favorite concubine, who is now Concubine Li.”

Huang Ying laughed, “Chunlai is a bit naïve, probably read too many play scripts and became a fool herself, expecting the Crown Prince to be like those in the plays. Isn’t that foolish?”

“I agree.” Xiachu poked Chunlai’s head, laughing as she scolded, “Next time, no more watching plays for you, serve Princess properly.”

Chunlai hummed, “I firmly believe that such love like in the plays, exists.”

Xiachu laughed, “Then, I hope you find a man who is fully devoted to you.”

“There you go again, see if I don’t tear your mouth!”

Feeling embarrassed and indignant, Chunlai chased after Xiachu.

“You two, keep your voices down! Don’t disturb the young masters…” Huang Ying watched them run off helplessly, then turned and called to a eunuch, “Go out and see where the Crown Prince is staying tonight.”

The eunuch agreed and left, but returned rather quickly.

“Sister Huang Ying, the Prince went to Concubine Li’s room in Plum Blossom Cottage, and the lights in the room are now out. He must have stayed there,” the young eunuch reported, hurriedly.

“Oh, alright, you can go now.”

Huang Ying returned to Jiang Ning’s room, watching her read concentratedly under the oil lamp, she could not help but smile, “Master, stop reading, it’s not good for your eyes and it uses up the oil.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “Have we become so poor that I can’t even afford to use a little oil?”

“My main concern is for your eyes, Master.”
