Chapter 811: Chapter 811: As long as I compromise, I behave gracefully_1
“Why on earth would I want to offend Princess Ling’an? Her father, her mother, which one of them is easy to handle? Moreover…” Jiang Ning cast a glance at him, “Princess Ling’an is completely infatuated with you. The last time during the initial selection, she wasn’t chosen as your Princess Consort. This time, she eagerly came again for the main selection, clearly wanting to be your concubine. Since she likes serving, I’ll satisfy her.”
“You want me to accept her?”
“Do you want me to bring her to the East Palace and annoy me? I hope your father will accept her.”
“…Jiang Ning, you’re really speechless.”
Li Hongyuan shook his head.
Jiang Ning caught up with him and laughed, “I’ve been paying attention, there were a few who were particularly beautiful and spoke gently.”
“So what if there were.”
“I’ve reserved them for you.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Shui Xiuxiu is the most outstanding, but she’s reserved for your father. The other beautiful women, I handpicked for you.”
Li Hongyuan’s brow twitched, maintaining a calm smile, “If that’s the case, why did you choose so many ugly ones?”
“You only need a few beauties, as for your father, Shui Xiuxiu is enough. He’s aged, how much more can he mess around…”
“Shut up!”
Li Hongyuan’s hand pinched her cheek, saying coldly, “Are you choosing consorts for me, or for yourself? Are you unaware of my love for you, or are you playing dumb?”
“Your father loved your mother, it did not stop him from having a harem of beauties.”
“He is him, I am me!”
“If I don’t choose any consorts for you, others might think I’m not virtuous.”
“…” Li Hongyuan was left speechless with anger.
It seems this woman only cares about her own reputation.
Jiang Ning pulled her hand away from his, rubbing her pinched cheek, she complained, “Last time it was His Highness who reminded me, I have to care about my reputation. As long as I make compromises gracefully, even if you want to treat me poorly in the future, the ministers would not agree.”
“Huh!”
This time it was Li Hongyuan’s turn to sneer, his lingering gaze landed on Gufeng, “What’s with Gufeng? Why would a perfectly fine man dress up like a woman?”
“Personal preference.”
“If he likes serving you so much, I’ll satisfy him.”
Li Hongyuan’s lips curled in a sly smile, “Li Quan, take Gufeng to cleanse his body!”
Gufeng looked puzzled, asked subconsciously, “Why?”
Liu Quan happily explained, “In the harem, only eunuchs can serve the ladies closely. Don’t you understand this?”
“Ah? I…” Gufeng looked at Jiang Ning, his eyes welling up with tears, “Seventh Miss, I heard that the cleansing process hurts a lot.”
Jiang Ning shot a glance at Li Hongyuan, “Why are you scaring him?”
“Scaring him?” Li Hongyuan gestured to Liu Quan, “What are you waiting for? Take him away!”
“Boo hoo hoo.” Gufeng started crying, clutching a tree, “Seventh Miss, let Gulin bring some Anesthesia Powder. It won’t hurt after drinking it!”
“Li Quan, you step back.” After admonishing Li Quan, Jiang Ning pulled Li Hongyuan’s sleeve, “If you don’t like it, I won’t choose any consorts for you. Don’t take it out on my people.”
Li Hongyuan slanted a glance at her, “Are you begging me?”
Gufeng cried out, “Seventh Miss, let him take me. I am willing!”
From the Shadow Guards’ perspective, the Seventh Miss doesn’t need to beg anyone!
