Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Love Gives Birth to Nothing
As the sky began to grow light, Li Hongyuan awoke.
Before him lay the smooth back of the Princess Consort. A few strands of black hair hung over her shoulders, setting off her delicate, snow-white skin.
Li Hongyuan leaned over and gently kissed her back, her warm scent filling his nostrils.
Jiang Ning woke up, pulled up the quilt to cover herself, and lazily said, “I want to sleep some more. If you want to get up, just leave quietly.”
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from behind.
Jiang Ning thought he had fallen back asleep and looked back at him.
But he was staring at her.
“With that look in your eyes, if we were in the wild, I’d think you wanted to cook me and eat me,” Jiang Ning said. “Or can you not bear to leave me?”
“A beauty’s lair is a hero’s grave.”
Li Hongyuan said and lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and picked up his clothes to put on.
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of something and quickly sat up, calling out, “Where’s Huang Ying?”
Huang Ying immediately entered the room, seeing Li Hongyuan getting dressed, and called two maids to help him with his clothes and hair.
She then attended to Jiang Ning herself.
Jiang Ning said: “No need to worry about anything else, just bring the medicine first.”
“I have it prepared, I’ll go get it right away.” Huang Ying hurriedly left and called Xiachu, who brought a stack of clothes.
As Jiang Ning finished dressing, Huang Ying brought the medicine to her.
Li Hongyuan glanced at the bowl of medicine in her hand and said indifferently, “So you really don’t want to have another child with me.”
“I don’t.”
Jiang Ning replied and took a swig of the medicine.
Li Hongyuan snorted, “As you wish.”
“Indeed, I don’t want to give birth.” Jiang Ning handed the empty bowl to Huang Ying and took a cup of water to rinse her mouth.
“I don’t believe you won’t have more children with me in the future.”
“I don’t know about the future, but I can be certain that I don’t want to have a child now.” Jiang Ning stood up, her hair draped over her shoulders, walked to the window, stretched indolently, and said cheerfully, “Today is a good day for the army to set off. Aren’t you going to see off your green tea brother?”
After getting dressed, Li Hongyuan suddenly asked, “I’ve always wanted to ask you, what do you mean by calling Li You a green tea man?”
“There’s no special meaning. I just think he’s not as innocent and harmless as he appears.”
“Of course, if he were innocent, how could he have returned alive from Silla?” Li Hongyuan said, “I’m leaving first.”
Jiang Ning looked back: “You promised to teach me horseback riding and archery.”
“Didn’t you want to learn from Lin Shimo?”
“I just wanted to see if he’s really that good. I still want you to teach me.”
“Alright.”
Li Hongyuan simply replied with one word and walked out.
After Jiang Ning finished grooming and went out, she saw Li Tingqian, Wenzan, and Lingzi coming to greet her.
Chunlai placed the breakfast on the table and whispered to Huang Ying, “I went to the kitchen just now and heard that Jin Liangyuan’s maids were saying that she’s going to cook herself.”
“Is that so? Maybe Jin Liangyuan isn’t used to our food here.”
“Not at all, she wants to attract the Crown Prince with her cooking skills.” Chunlai scoffed, “I guess she heard that our master’s cooking is popular with the Emperor and Crown Prince, so she wants to imitate it.”
Huang Ying whispered, “She has been in the East Palace for quite some time, and the Crown Prince hasn’t given her a proper look. It’s normal for her to be anxious.”
“But she doesn’t think about it. Did our master win the Emperor and Crown Prince’s favor with her cooking? It’s because it’s our master’s food that people like it. It’s not because of the food that people like our master. She’s got the order wrong and still wants to attract the Crown Prince. Isn’t that just dreaming?”
