Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 515

Chapter 515: Chapter 515: The Wicked Intentions of the Princess Consort

Jiang Ning held Lin Zizi’s hand as they entered, catching a glimpse of the Emperor through the screen, busily fixing his hair and clothes, appearing like a young boy in love for the first time.

The eunuch immediately dragged out his voice to announce, “Madam Jiang has arrived ”

He directly ignored Jiang Ning.

Indeed, in front of Lin Zizi, everyone paled in comparison, including her own biological daughter who shared her likeness.

The palace maids serving nearby could not help but secretly lift their eyes, casting sidelong glances at the legendary beauty who had bewitched the Emperor for a lifetime.

She was indeed beautiful.

Although her face had shown some signs of aging, her pure demeanor and bright, innocent eyes were still as youthful as a girl in her prime.

Such innocence and seductiveness were embodied simultaneously in one person, making it impossible to look away.

The Emperor couldn’t help but step forward, “Zizi, you’re here.”

Jiang Ning felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, you’ve mistaken me. I’m not Zizi; the one behind me is.”

The Emperor glanced at her in surprise, then shifted his gaze behind her. His eyes lit up immediately, “I was wondering why Zizi had become so ugly. Zizi, it really is you; you haven’t changed in twenty years.”

Jiang Ning:”…”

This old Emperor has turned into a smitten fool. In his eyes, Lin Zizi will forever be the young girl from twenty years ago, no matter her appearance now.

Lin Zizi bowed gracefully, gentle and polite, “May I offer my greetings to Your Majesty, wishing you good health.”

“Zizi, no need for formalities, please sit, sit.”

The Emperor was overjoyed, wishing he could personally help her sit down.

However, he was ultimately unable to do so.

Because Jiang Ning unceremoniously wedged herself between them, helping Lin Zizi to sit down.

“Your Majesty, your health is not well, let me help you. Please, have a rest.” After helping Lin Zizi, Jiang Ning attended to the Emperor.

The Emperor looked at her in surprise, “Princess Consort?”

Jiang Ning: “Your Majesty, did you only just see me?”

“Why are you here? Did I let you out?” The Emperor’s shocked expression made it clear that he had only just noticed her.

He was surprised that someone in the palace dared to openly disobey his orders.

Jiang Ning suddenly groaned and bent down to hold her leg.

Lin Zizi immediately became anxious and quickly came forward, asking nervously, “Ning’er, what’s wrong? Is your leg uncomfortable? Come and sit down quickly!”

The Emperor:”…”

He understood the malicious intentions of this wretched girl at once.

The Empress had summoned Lin Zizi, so she took the opportunity to bask in Lin Zizi’s glory, hoping that he would overlook her disobedience in leaving the East Palace for Lin Zizi’s sake.

What was even more infuriating was that he truly couldn’t ignore Lin Zizi’s feelings!

This wicked girl had been using Concubine Jin all along, and now that Concubine Jin was gone, she had started to use Lin Zizi.

One was her mother-in-law and the other was her own mother.

What kind of person couldn’t she use, and what couldn’t she do?

The Emperor resentfully withdrew his questioning glare and glanced at Jiang Ning. She winked at him.

The Emperor forced a dry laugh, “If the Princess Consort’s legs aren’t well, she should stay home and not go out. What can’t the servants do for her?”

“All the Imperial Physicians are here to serve Your Majesty, and if I wait to die in the East Palace while my leg is unwell, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see my father and mother.” Jiang Ning choked as she looked at Lin Zizi, “Today, I risk disobeying Your Majesty and the Crown Prince’s orders. As a daughter, I must see my mother.”

Lin Zizi looked at the Emperor in shock, “Why do Your Majesty and the Crown Prince insist on keeping my son confined?”
