BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153 - 153 - Becoming a Concubine is a Bit
Translator: 549690339
Li Yuanyuan watched Prince of Yu leave with a flick of his sleeve, standing in the original place, frowning her beautiful eyebrows.
Now, the little maid dared to come over to support her: “Miss Teng, what’s wrong with His Highness?”
Li Yuanyuan shook her head: “I really don’t understand what His Highness is thinking. He obviously hates and loathes the Princess Consort so much, but he still has to tolerate her and give her way.”
“Isn’t it because of the power of the Princess Consort’s family and the child in her womb?”
“Yes, she has good fortune.”
“It would be nice if Miss Teng could also become pregnant.” The maid said.
Li Yuanyuan shook her head: “Everyone says that the Prince loathes the Princess Consort, but… sometimes, I feel that the Prince cares about her especially.”
“Where does he care?” The little maid laughed, “The Prince’s favorite is still you.”
“Is it?” Li Yuanyuan thought, although she had been with the Prince for the longest time, the Prince still had not consummated with her.
On the surface, he seemed to treat her well indeed.
But, if he really cared for her, why wouldn’t he give her a child?
It was said that it was to let the main wife conceive first before they would consummate, but now that the Princess Consort has conceived, the Prince still didn’t spend the night in her room.
Is this being loved?
Li Yuanyuan was also quite puzzled.
The maid said: “His Highness has been in a bad mood lately because of the Princess Consort’s constant nagging. Why don’t we make something to cheer him up? Once the Prince is happy, he will be able to come to our room again. Won’t that be nice?”
“Do you have any ideas?”
“Doesn’t the Prince like watching Miss Teng dance?”
“I danced for half of the day at the Princess Consort’s place today, it’s exhausting.”
“Miss Teng should at least think about the child.”
“Sigh, I know.”
Li Yuanyuan felt that it was quite pitiful for a woman to be like the Princess Consort – not liked by her husband. But being a concubine was even worse.
She had to please the man while also serving the main wife.
Anyway, it’s all annoying.
Li Hongyuan saw Jiang Ning when he was riding his horse into the palace.
She was with Huang Ying, eating small steamed buns at a roadside stall, and on the other side was a man with a literary and gentle appearance, sitting upright and smiling at Jiang Ning.
It was Thirteen.
Li Hongyuan sneered.
He said that he was bored at home and wanted to go out for a walk, but it turned out that it was just to meet other men.
Chashan saw her too, “Master, isn’t that our Princess Consort? She is with Thirteen…”
“Do you have eyes only?” Li Hongyuan said indifferently, “Let her be, as long as she doesn’t do anything disgraceful and acts unfaithfully, there is no need to bother with her.”
Chashan thought that even His Highness was afraid of the Princess Consort and just didn’t care.
But could His Highness really bear it?
No matter if he liked her or not, Jiang Seventh Miss had married into the Prince of Yu’s residence, and became the Princess Consort of Yu.
What man could tolerate his wife getting close to other men?
Soon, Chashan knew the answer.
That was, absolutely intolerable.
Usually, when His Highness enters the palace, he would stay until the evening after having a meal, and only leave the palace after the lamps were lit.
But this time, after discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Works, His Highness immediately rode his horse out of the palace. When passing by the bun shop, he gave the shop owner two hundred taels of silver and told him to close the shop and leave.
The bun shop owner was so happy that he closed the door quickly.
He took such a large sum of money, and intended to open another shop elsewhere.
When Jiang Ning went out for a walk and wanted to eat crab soup dumplings the next day, she found that the bun shop was empty.
What happened?
Huang Ying pushed her, looked at the empty bun shop, and her face was filled with confusion.
Until a voice came over, “Xiao Ning, what are you doing here?”
Jiang Ning turned back, it turned out to be He Tang.
He Tang held a pile of books, looking at her in surprise and delight.
Soon, the two sat down in the noodle shop next to the bun shop, ordered a bowl of noodles each, and ate.
From He Tang’s mouth, Jiang Ning found out that the Autumn Examination was approaching, and he went to visit his mentor for some advice on his studies.
After Li Hongyuan heard, he sneered, “One man a day, at least she doesn’t repeat..”
