Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Moving In to Serve His Parents
Li You suddenly laughed and said, “What if I told you to kill the Princess Consort to the Crown Prince?”
Wenren Zong paused for a moment and said, “I don’t want to think about things that haven’t happened yet.”
“Haven’t you heard that those without foresight always have immediate worries?”
“I only focus on the present.” Wenren Zong looked into the distance, his eyes seemed far away. “Prince, you just need to know that I won’t betray you. As for the Princess Consort, you don’t have to mention her frequently. I really don’t have much of a connection with her.”
“Don’t you want to have her?” Li You’s gentle smile had a hint of teasing. “When I get that position, I’ll give her to you as a reward. How about that?”
Wenren Zong frowned. He couldn’t take it anymore and finally said, “Didn’t I say not to mention her again? Isn’t it annoying?”
Li You was taken aback, and then laughed, “Alright, alright, I won’t mention her. Why are you so fierce?”
Wenren Zong put on a straight face and sped up his horse, leaving him behind.
“Well, that’s quite a temper.”
Li You didn’t get angry and still rode his horse leisurely with a smile.
…
East Palace.
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Yan, who walked in gracefully, with some surprise, “Sixth Sister, why are you here?”
Jiang Yan wore a bright red brocade gown with numerous hairpins, pearls, and jade adornments, exuding wealth and splendor.
From an unimportant concubine-born daughter in the Prime Minister’s Mansion to being the Princess Consort of Prince Zhao, Jiang Yan had truly become a phoenix perching on the top of a tree.
However, she still looked as timid as before, lowering her head, seemingly unable to make eye contact with anyone.
With her family, she was relatively more relaxed. Seeing Jiang Ning, she immediately showed a relaxed smile, walked quickly forward and knelt to pay her respects: “This humble one greets Your Highness.”
“Sixth Sister, there’s no need for such formalities between us.” Jiang Ning smiled as she pulled her up to sit next to her, examining her up and down, “Becoming a Princess Consort really changes people.”
Jiang Yan’s face turned crimson, and she said with her head bowed, “Seventh Sister, don’t tease me.”
Jiang Ning asked, “You should be returning home today, why are you in the palace instead?”
“Yesterday, the Prince ordered me to enter the palace and pay respects to the Emperor and Empress first, and then return home.” Jiang Yan replied.
“Huh?” Jiang Ning was astonished. “What kind of reasoning is that? Even if you were to pay respects, you should be doing so to the Prince and Princess Consort of Kang County. Instead, you entered the palace… It’s ridiculous. Does he think his identity has been exposed?”
Jiang Yan was uneasy and embarrassed. “I thought the same, but… I’m not as courageous as you, Seventh Sister, and I couldn’t voice it. I dared not disobey his orders, so I had to enter the palace before dawn.”
“Have you met the Emperor and Empress yet?”
“I have only paid my respects to the Empress. As for the Emperor, he didn’t see me but sent a eunuch instead, saying that since I’m in the palace, I can visit the East Palace.”
“What kind of scheme is he playing? Does he think the old Emperor can’t see through it?” Jiang Ning sneered.
Jiang Yan nervously twisted the corners of her clothes, looking frightened and confused.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn’t bear it and softly asked, “The Prince of Zhao is going to lead the troops today. Won’t you feel uneasy being in Prince Zhao’s residence alone?”
Jiang Yan replied, “The Prince ordered me to move to the residence of Prince of Kang County first.”
“Why?”
“The Prince said that while he’s gone, he fears that I’m too young to manage the Prince’s mansion or take good care of myself. He wants me to move to the residence of Prince of Kang County to have someone look after me.”
“It sounds like he wants you to go and serve his parents?” Jiang Ning asked. “Will you move?”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Yan’s voice was tiny, with a hint of pleading. “Seventh Sister, you’re always so clever. Can you help me decide?”
