Chapter 275 - 275: The Son Wants to Be With Jiang



Translator: 549690339

Li Hongyuan remained silent for a moment, then followed on.

The Emperor raised his eyelids from the letter, glanced at them, and said unhurriedly, “Made up your minds?”

“We’ve decided,” Jiang Ning smiled. “Your Majesty, the Prince of Yu has agreed.”

The Emperor looked at Li Hongyuan.

Li Hongyuan bowed and said, “Your humble son has thought it over, I want to be with Jiang Ning.”

“You’d better think it through,” the Emperor said indifferently, “Didn’t you just say you’re not interested in her and want a noble lady with good health, virtuous and elegant as your Princess Consort?”

Li Hongyuan said, “Your humble son thought that, for the sake of Wenzan and Lingzi… I can’t be unfair to them. As for the women with good health, dignified and elegant, your humble son can accept them as concubines.”

Jiang Ning glanced at him.

Li Hongyuan didn’t dare to make eye contact with her.

He was really just trying to appease his Emperor Father, and didn’t think this way in his heart…

The Emperor smiled and said, “Xiao Ning, once you move back this time, you will not be allowed to leave. You shall reside with your two children and be the Princess Consort of Yu. I will grant your children titles; Wenzan will be the Crown Prince and Lingzi will be the Princess.”

“Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.”

Li Hongyuan helped Jiang Ning down to their knees to express their gratitude.

The Emperor was quite pleased.

Heh.

Jiang Ning said, “Your Majesty, when I bring my children home to the Prince of Yu’s residence, there will be no one to care for us if the Prince of Yu isn’t there.”

Li Hongyuan looked at her unexpectedly.

He thought she would plead for the Wenren Family directly.

Unexpectedly, she spoke for herself first.

The Emperor seemed to be smiling, “I know what you want to say. As for the Fifth Prince’s matter, I shall discuss it with the Senior Ministers before making a decision. Some things are not up to me to decide alone.”

“If the Prince of Yu cannot stay in Chang’an City, then it would be meaningless for me and my children to return there.”

“I will consider it accordingly.”

“Besides, can Your Majesty show mercy to the Wenren Family? At least don’t torment their old, weak, and women. If the news gets out, it may damage Your Majesty’s reputation.”

The Emperor chuckled, “You certainly have many conditions, just like your mother in character.”

“I beg Your Majesty to show mercy.”

“Since I promised you, I’ll keep my word,” the Emperor said. “I will not take the lives of the Wenren family’s old, weak, and women. However, they cannot escape their living punishment. From now on, the Wenren family within three generations will be demoted to commoners, and their descendants cannot participate in the imperial examinations.”

“What about Wenren Zong…”

“There’s no need to plead for Wenren Zong, I have already had plans for him,” the Emperor said.

Jiang Ning knew it as well. If the Emperor hadn’t even spared his own son, how could he let Wenren Zong off easily?

She was just giving it a try.

Being able to save Madam Wenren and the others was already very good.

“Your Majesty, did you have the Prince of Huai interrogate them?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Am I that idle, sending the Prince of Huai to interrogate? However, since the Prince of Huai is also responsible for the Ministry of Justice, it wouldn’t be an overstep if he were to interrogate them,” the Emperor said quietly.

Jiang Ning hurriedly said, “Since Your Majesty is kind and generous, and has spared their lives, why not stop torturing them as well?”

The Emperor laughed, “Your tough exterior but soft heart is indeed different from your mother. Your mother has a soft exterior but a tough heart.”

Jiang Ning remained silent.

Would you stop mentioning Lin Zizi, please?

I know you love her to death.

But there’s really no need to bring her up in every conversation.

As Jiang Ning was complaining in her heart, she saw a yellow imperial edict being thrown in front of her.

She looked up.

The Emperor said, “Take the edict. Since you’re rushing around so eagerly, I’ll let you be an eunuch delivering the edict for once today..”
