无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

He didn’t care at all if it would embarrass her.

Jiang Ning was tired after a long day and didn’t want to wait any longer, so she asked Huang Ying and the others not to wait and go to sleep.

But they insisted on waiting.

If the groom doesn’t show up on the wedding night, it would become a laughingstock.

What can she expect in the future?

Unexpectedly, someone finally came.

But it wasn’t the Prince of Yu, but a young dwarf.

He peeked in hesitantly.

Jiang Ning looked up and laughed, beckoning, “Xiaoqian, come here.”

It was the emperor’s eldest grandson, Li Tingqian.

Li Tingqian immediately ran to her and grinned, “Little Aunt!”

Jiang Ning sat up and tapped him on the forehead, “Why do you always call me Little Aunt? I’m not your Little Aunt.”

Li Tingqian rubbed his head, “I know now that you’re not my Little Aunt. But soon you’ll be my Little Aunt.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “That day when you fell into the water, did everything turn out alright later?”

“I’m fine, I’m perfectly fine.” Li Tingqian sat at the edge of the bed, “Little Aunt, you’re my savior. But my Emperor Grandfather wouldn’t let me visit you, I missed you so much.”

“In the future, you can come visit me often.”

“Sure!” Li Tingqian nodded.

“Why haven’t you returned to the palace so late?” Jiang Ning asked.

“I was just about to return, but I wanted to see Little Aunt before leaving.” Li Tingqian took out an oil-paper wrapped package from his bosom, “I heard that on the wedding day, the bride cannot eat anything. Little Aunt, are you hungry? This is the roast chicken I brought specially for you, have a bite.”

Upon unwrapping the oil-paper package, it indeed contained half a roast chicken.

Although Jiang Ning’s morning sickness had lessened, she still couldn’t eat such greasy food. She laughed, “Xiaoqian is so thoughtful. Put it here, I’ll eat it when I’m hungry. Tell me, did your Fifth Imperial Uncle get drunk?”

Li Tingqian put the roast chicken on the table, shook his head, and said, “Fifth Imperial Uncle did drink, but he can hold his liquor well, so he wouldn’t be drunk.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “He’s not drunk, then it seems he won’t come.”

“Fifth Imperial Uncle isn’t coming?” Li Tingqian frowned, “This is not acceptable. Little Aunt, don’t worry, I’ll call for Fifth Imperial Uncle to come!”

He ran out in a hurry.

Prince of Yu was changing his clothes in his room and glanced at him when he heard, “How old are you to meddle in this? Guards, send the emperor’s eldest grandson back to the palace.”

“Fifth Imperial Uncle, if you treat Little Aunt badly, I will go back and tell my Emperor Grandfather!” Li Tingqian stood akimbo, chin raised, “Emperor Grandfather loves Little Aunt very much!”

“Really?”

“Of course. In the past few months, Emperor Grandfather has visited Little Aunt every day to have a meal and gave her many good things. If you dare treat Little Aunt badly, Emperor Grandfather won’t spare you.”

The Prince of Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Had Father Emperor known that woman long ago?

And visited her every day for meals?

He pondered thoughtfully.

“Your Highness, are you still going to Miss Li’s room? Miss Li is eagerly waiting for you. Madam Zhao and Maid Fang have also come to inquire.”

Prince of Yu picked up his fan, “Go to the Princess Consort’s.”

Li Tingqian snorted, “What a bunch of palace maids and mistresses. In a while, I’ll tell Little Aunt to drive them all out!”

Prince of Yu said, “You brat, why are you still here? Get back to the palace!”

“I have to see you go to Little Aunt’s place, otherwise, I’ll go back and tell Emperor Grandfather!”

In the end, Prince of Yu went to the Main Court.

Jiang Ning was drowsy, but when she heard he had arrived, she became fully alert.

Huang Ying and Chunlai greeted him with a smile, “Princess Consort has been waiting for Your Highness.”

Prince of Yu glanced towards the bed.

Under the red candlelight, the young girl’s cheeks flushed, her smile sweet and her voice soft, “Your Highness has arrived..”
