“No choice, she is Prince of Yu’s favorite after all.” Jiang Ning reached out, “Let me taste if that watermelon is sweet.”
Chunlai asked, “So are we going to do anything about this?”
“Do? It’s none of our business. Is it because the watermelon tastes bad or that the storybook isn’t interesting enough? You’re too idle.” Jiang Ning rolled her eyes, “Come on, have some watermelon.”
Anyway, she had never considered herself a true princess consort.
Moving from Jiang Family to Prince of Yu’s residence was nothing more than changing places to wait for death while eating good food.
As long as others didn’t bother her easy life, she wouldn’t care about anything.
As for Li Hongyuan, his absence for the past two days was just what she wanted.
It would be best if he never appeared in front of her for the rest of her life.
But she didn’t expect to meet Prince of Yu again very soon.
Returning to her maiden home on the third day after marriage.
This was the rule.
It was impossible for both Prince of Yu’s residence and Jiang Family to ignore such a rule.
It was a matter of reputation and face.
If it weren’t for Huang Ying’s reminder, Jiang Ning would have completely forgotten about this.
She didn’t care much about the return visit, but she did miss her gentle and beautiful mother-in-law, Lin Zizi.
But the problem was, the husband was supposed to accompany her for the return visit.
If the man didn’t go with her, not only would she become the laughing stock, but the entire Jiang Family would become a joke too.
That evening, the stewardess from the front courtyard came to remind her specifically that the prince would accompany her back the next morning.
Chunlai was surprised, “This servant thought that Prince of Yu wouldn’t accompany the princess consort for the return visit. After all… how he treats the princess consort.”
“He is accompanying me just to maintain his good reputation, and to gain favor from his father-in-law.”
“But he’s the prince, does he really need to gain favor from his subjects?” Chunlai didn’t understand.
Jiang Ning said, “Jiang Ruobai is still a powerful Prime Minister. As a prince competing for the imperial throne, doesn’t he need to win over the forces in the court? Besides, Jiang Ruobai is his father-in-law, so naturally he’s already on his side.”
Chunlai listened, stupefied.
Huang Ying smiled, “Princess consort should sleep early, this servant will go pack things.”
Now that Jiang Ning was three months pregnant, after the initial discomfort, her body felt lighter, her appetite improved, and her sleep became more comfortable.
Everything was comfortable.
If it weren’t for the occasional fetal movement, she would have almost forgotten that she was pregnant.
With the cool air in the room and the soft silk quilt, she slept soundly until late morning.
Li Hongyuan’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
When Huang Ying opened the door to let him in, he radiated a dark murderous aura.
The maids were frightened and retreated, not daring to approach.
He walked to Jiang Ning’s bedroom door, pushed it, but didn’t move it.
The door was still locked from the inside.
Li Hongyuan kicked the door open with one foot.
Jiang Ning sat up with her messy hair, “Is it daylight already?”
Huang Ying and Chunlai hurried in, whispering, “Princess Consort, you’ve been sleeping, and we couldn’t wake you up no matter how much we called you from outside. We were so worried. Prince has been waiting outside for half an hour.” “What is he waiting for?”
“Jiang Ning, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?” Li Hongyuan’s forehead veins bulged, “I had someone remind you yesterday that we’re returning to your maiden home today!”
Jiang Ning remembered.
It’s said that a woman’s intelligence declines during pregnancy, and her memory wasn’t very good now.
“Since we’re late, let’s not go.” Jiang Ning laid back down.
Li Hongyuan stepped forward and pulled her up, “You better get it straight, now I’m accompanying you to return to your maiden home!”
“Accompanying me? It’s clear that I’m just acting in your play. I’m a bad actor and can’t show togetherness and harmony between a couple. You should find someone else to play with..”
