BXBX NOVEL Chapter 479: Not Easy to Mess With
In other words, Prince of An and the Emperor were cousins.
As a prince, he had a high status, so it was quite easy for him to investigate the background of a woman in Chang’an City.
So, he quickly found out.
When he learned that the fierce and beautiful woman was none other than the newly-appointed Crown Princess, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family, Jiang Ning, his facial expression was quite colorful.
This woman was more than just fierce.
Outsiders might not know, but how could he, as a prince, not know about the grudges and grievances between Jiang Ning, Prince of Huai, and Princess Consort of Huai?
At that time, when the Crown Prince was still guarding the Imperial Mausoleum, she single-handedly fought with Prince of Huai and Princess Consort of Huai, creating a life and death struggle.
Even with the support of the Jiang Family behind her, it was still surprising enough.
This was not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, she was now the Princess Consort.
Upon further investigation, it turned out that it was his own son who had harassed her in the street, causing trouble, and getting beaten up.
Didn’t he deserve it?
Prince of An thought about it, considering that the other party was not easy to provoke, and decided to let the matter go for now.
However, it was difficult to explain this to the old lady in his family.
The old lady cried as if her heart and liver were dug out, forcing her son to avenge her grandson.
Having no choice, Prince of An simply told her the reason: it was Li Baodan who harassed the girl and got beaten as a result.
After inquiring further, the old lady found out that the other party was actually the newly-appointed Crown Princess, and her face immediately collapsed. Although Prince of An’s residence had a high status, how could it be compared with the Crown Prince’s?
Besides, the Jiang Family was not easy to deal with either.
But this grievance was just too hard to swallow.
“Our family is not a common family, why should we endure the anger of the Crown Princess?” The old lady was extremely upset.
Prince of An frowned: “What else can we do? It’s all because of the incompetence of my fourth son! If this matter gets to the Emperor, we will be disgraced as well.”
“A woman like the Crown Princess, if she hadn’t gone out and flaunted herself, how could my grandson like her? She’s simply violating the rules for women! A vixen!” After pondering for a while, the old lady went back to her room to discuss with her daughter-in-law, “Your sister is Concubine Yu in the palace, and she’s been very favored recently.”
The Princess Consort of An was a legitimate daughter of the Lu Family, while Concubine Yu was a concubine-born daughter of the same family. Even so, the relationship between the two sisters was quite good.
Concubine Yu had been in the palace for several years and only gained favor in the past two years because of her soft, supple physique and slender waist, which greatly pleased the Emperor.
She was also someone who could speak a few words in front of the Emperor. “What can Concubine Yu do?” Princess Consort of An didn’t think much of it. “No matter what, we can’t let the Crown Princess have it easy.” “Mother, I’m afraid that won’t work.” Princess Consort of An hesitated and looked outside, lowering her voice a little, “I will tell you the truth, Concubine Yu is pregnant.”
“What?” The old lady’s eyes widened, “Say that again?”
“Concubine Yu is pregnant.”
“When did you find out, how long has it been?”
“It’s only been just over two months, the fetus isn’t stable yet, so we’ve been keeping it a secret.” Princess Consort of An whispered, “Mother, you know, the harem is a place where people are eaten alive, and now there is a new Crown Prince. At this time, with Concubine Yu being pregnant… how could she not become the thorn in others’ eyes, the bane of their existence?”
The old lady closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again, saying: “This is great news. Although the Emperor has many concubines, there hasn’t been a pregnancy among them for years. Some princes have died, some have been deposed, with only one Crown Prince remaining. If the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely be overjoyed.”
