Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: The Princess Consort is very free _1

Jiang Ning sat across the table, toying with the four treasures of the study on the table, propped her cheek on her hand and casually said, “Emperor, how about we stop with this medicine?”

The Emperor was taken aback, his gaze shifted towards the bowl.

Jiang Ning picked up the bowl and casually handed it to a eunuch nearby, “Throw this out.”

The eunuch took it without thinking but hesitated to dispose of it.

This was the Emperor’s medicine, what authority did the Princess Consort have to throw it out on a whim?

The Emperor shot Jiang Ning a few glances, snorted and said,” Girl, what do you mean by this? You want to stop this old man from taking his medicine?”

“If you were sick and needed medicine, I certainly couldn’t stop you.”

“This is also for treating sickness.”

“Are you sick?” Jiang Ning retorted.

“…I suppose you could say that.”

“That’s not illness, that’s aging,” Jiang Ning bluntly told the Emperor,” Do you think aging is a disease? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of life. As an Emperor, if you can’t accept natural aging, how can you guide your subjects?”

Her words left the Emperor speechless until he reacted and banged the table, shouting: “I’m just taking some medicine, why are you overcomplicating things?”

“Medicine is like a poison at times,” Jiang Ning said languidly, “If you keep drinking these things, it would be like drinking poison to quench your thirst.”

“It’s not that serious, Old Dong prescribed the medicine and it’s not too strong.” The Emperor waved his hand, “Nevermind, nevermind, ha-ha.”

Jiang Ning said, “By not taking care of your health, aren’t you making Her Majesty the Empress worry?”

The Emperor immediately looked suspicious, “Did the Empress send you?”

“No, I just wandered in here.”

“Humph, no need to cover for the Empress. I know exactly what kind of person she is. She appears tolerant and virtuous, but she is very jealous.”

Jiang Ning just smiled.

“What are you laughing at?”

“If the Empress didn’t even have a hint of jealousy, that would mean she doesn’t care about you.” Jiang Ning said with deep meaning, “For example, my mother definitely wouldn’t worry about you drinking medicine.”

“…”

When Lin Zizi was mentioned, the Emperor waved his hand in disinterest and told the eunuch holding the medicine to leave the room.

Upon hearing this, the eunuch quickly took the medicine and retreated.

Jiang Ning added, “Emperor, in fact, you can use this opportunity to test who in the harem truly cares for you and who simply desires your power and status.”

“I have no interest in knowing.”

The emperor casually leaned back, “This would only bring unnecessary burdens.”

“Does Your Majesty not value sincerity?”

“How can I not value sincerity? I just don’t care about the sincerity of those who don’t matter.” The Emperor lazily said, “Alright, I’ll stop taking the medicine from now on, you can leave. Don’t bother me anymore. Instead of managing the Crown Prince, you are meddling with me.”

On hearing these words from the Emperor, Jiang Ning became even more determined not to leave.

She even asked the eunuch, “What does the Emperor usually have for his meals? Bring them up early, I’ll dine with Father Emperor.”

The Emperor:”…Am I supposed to welcome your company? Are you that idle? Can you find something meaningful to do?”@@novelbin@@

“Nothing at all.”

Jiang Ning bored, “The harem has their own respective mothers, the East Palace has Concubine Li, the Crown Prince is busy with public affairs, and the children are all taken with Dean Lin.”

She spread her hands: “What else can I do? I’m really just bored.”

The Emperor rolled his eyes and suddenly showed a kind smile: “Princess Consort, since you have so much free time, you might as well spend more time chatting with Concubine Ya.”

“No.”

“Why? She got injured saving Lingzi. Both emotionally and rationally…”

“Both emotionally and rationally, I don’t care about her.” Jiang Ning blinked her big eyes, “Emperor, why don’t you busy yourself with public affairs, let the Crown Prince have some time to accompany me?”
