Chapter 226 - 226: She is This Prince’s Woman
Lin Zizi also said, “His Majesty doesn’t like princes and officials forming factions. Our connection with the Prince of Yu is already close enough. If you are now with Wenren Zong, it can actually make the Jiang family appear more neutral.”
Jiang Ning gently hugged her arm, resting her face on her shoulder, “You all speak so well, I know you are trying to comfort me and let me make my own choice.”
“Daughter, we have no demands on you, we just hope you live a comfortable life.” Jiang Ruobai said, “Not to mention political standpoints, I still appreciate Wenren Zong. Since you like him too, why can’t you marry him?”
“Father, since you all say so, then I agree.”
“As long as you are happy in your heart, that’s enough.”
“So I agree?”
“Yes.” Jiang Ruobai put Wenzan in her arms, “However, you also have to consider another issue: if you marry Wenren Zong, it is absolutely impossible to take the children with you.”
Jiang Ning hesitated slightly.
Lin Zizi said, “Actually, once the Prince of Yu is established as the Crown Prince and enters the East Palace, these two children will definitely have to enter the palace as well. At that time, we would have to separate from them anyway. Ningning, since you have divorced the Prince of Yu, these two children will eventually be part of the royal family. Do you understand?”
“I know.” Jiang Ning looked down at Wenzan’s chubby little face and touched his chin. Wenzan’s chubby little hand grabbed her index finger and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh.
“This little guy, not satisfied with eating his own hand, wants to eat his mother’s hand as well.” Lin Zizi laughed and scolded, “Our Lingzi is much more well-behaved. Boys are really naughty.”
Jiang Ruobai sighed, “The longer we spend time together, the harder it will be to part in the future.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like we won’t see each other again, even if they enter the palace, we can visit them whenever we want. Doesn’t the Prince of Yu come to visit every few days?”
“You’re right.” Jiang Ruobai laughed.
Together, the husband and wife played with their children until the little ones yawned one after another. Then they handed them over to the wet nurse who took them to coax them to sleep.
The next day, Wenren Zong went to the government office to handle cases, and by the time he was done, it was already noon.
He rode his horse to the vicinity of the Jiang residence and looked towards their mansion.
At this moment, he really wanted to see Jiang Ning, but he was afraid of disturbing her nap.
Although he didn’t know if Jiang Ning had the habit of taking naps, his mother and sisters at home all had this habit.
As Wenren Zong hesitated, he heard an icy voice from behind him –
“Master Wenren is truly affectionate, coming to the Jiang residence at this hour.”
Wenren Zong turned around and saw the Prince of Yu riding a horse slowly towards him, his expression cold.
Wenren Zong hurriedly dismounted, bowed, and said, “I greet Your Highness, the Prince of Yu.”
Li Hongyuan looked down at him: “Wenren Zong, stay away from Jiang Ning.”
“Your Highness, I don’t think my relationship with Ningning is obstructing anyone or being disrespectful.” Wenren Zong spoke calmly.
“She is my woman.”
“It is well known in Chang’an City that Your Highness and Ningning have already divorced.”
Hearing him call her Ningning so many times, Li Hongyuan became even more annoyed.
“The divorce was only out of necessity. I will definitely take her back.” He said softly, “If it weren’t for your deliberate provocation, Jiang Ning would never look at you.”
“I don’t think I am so unbearable.”
“Jiang Ning is already my woman, and I want her from her body to her heart.”
These words made Wenren Zong slightly purse his lips..
