Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 844: Chapter 844: The Empress is in a Hurry_1

Jiang Ning squatted down and asked, “Even in this state, you still want to resist the imperial edict? Stop struggling. Come back to the East Palace with me. The water in the kitchen is waiting to be carried.”

“I won’t go!”@@novelbin@@

Princess Ling’an fiercely raised her head, her face full of grief and indignation, “I am a dignified princess, and I am being told to go to the East Palace to become a slave? Are you fine with this?”

“If the emperor orders it, I can’t do anything.”

Princess Ling’an fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “If the Crown Prince is willing to favor me, I naturally can become his Side Concubine.”

Jiang Ning blinked her beautiful eyes, “If you’re really serious about that, it might not be impossible.”

“Do you agree?”

“Hey, whether I agree or not doesn’t really matter.” Jiang Ning shrugged, “Isn’t it up to our Crown Prince to be willing?”

“As long as you don’t obstruct, the Crown Prince will surely agree.”

“You can rest assured about that, I definitely won’t obstruct. You probably know the Crown Prince better than I do. How can I prevent him if he decides to favor you?”

Hearing this, Princess Ling’an responded with a proud sniff, “Of course, the prince cannot be easily swayed by any woman.”

“So what are you worried about? Come on, follow me back to the East Palace.” Jiang Ning reached out to her, radiant as a saint, “A magnificent future is awaiting you.”

And so…Princess Ling’an really did follow her.

Upon returning to Phoenix Grace Palace, the Empress, who had just warmed her seat, was stunned for a long time upon hearing this news.

She asked her lady-in-waiting, “Didn’t Princess Ling’an make a fuss?”

“No, she quietly followed the Princess Consort.”

“What exactly did the Princess Consort offer her to make her so obedient?” The Empress muttered, “She dared to act crazily in front of the Emperor and me in the palace before, but now she follows the Princess Consort without causing any scene?”

The Empress had hoped for some entertainment originally.

She knew Princess Ling’an’s temperament well. If she were forced to become a maid in the East Palace, she was sure to turn it into a bedlam.

If the East Palace became chaotic, it would be the fault of the Princess Consort.

She could take advantage of this to turn the tables.

Unexpectedly, the uncompetitive Princess Ling’an obediently followed the Princess Consort after a few words.

For a princess to become a maid in the East Palace, isn’t it ridiculous?

Cry!

Make a fuss!

Fight back!

She dared to confront Concubine Shu, why not slap the Princess Consort to the ground?

The Empress was almost driven to desperation.

At this crucial time, the Prince of Zhao suddenly left for a war, the future uncertain. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince and Princess Consort are growing stronger in the imperial court and harem.

The Emperor continues to indulge in desires, disregarding his own health.

The situation is increasingly unfavorable for her.

How can she not be anxious?

Speaking of which, the blame for the Prince of Zhao going to battle rests with the Princess Consort.

If not for her, would Prince Xinhai have to die?

Such a troublemaker!

The Empress was distressed to no end.

Not long after, a eunuch came to report, the Emperor has favored Shui Xiuxiu as Lady Zhu, Qiu Rong as Concubine ZhaoYi, and is going to sleep in the Concubine Zhu’s chambers tonight.

The Empress sneered, “Lady Zhu? Our Emperor is quite infatuated.”

Zhu is Concubine Jin’s birth name, yet he used it for another woman.

Shui Xiuxiu, whose family is quite ordinary, is now a lady of the court. And, receiving a name starting with ‘Zhu’, clearly shows his love and satisfaction for her.

The Emperor’s favor is not something the Empress cares much about, but since this woman is the one Jiang Ruobai brought in, she had to care.
