Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: What use do I have for him?

Emperor picked up the teacup and gulped down the tea, took a breath, and continued to sneer, “So you mean that I, the mighty Great Sheng, need advice from a young girl like you?”

“Your Majesty, you’re flattering me.”

“You’re quite shameless in climbing up the pole.”

“Your Majesty, may I give you a shoulder massage?” Jiang Ning asked eagerly, “You’ve been working hard all day, a massage should refresh you, and I can guarantee you’ll be in high spirits tonight.”

Emperor: “…”

He wondered if daughters-in-law in the commoner world dared to speak to their fathers like this?

He kept silent and looked at Jiang Ning coldly.

Jiang Ning was not that diligent, and of course, she didn’t really give the Emperor a shoulder and leg massage.

She was still injured and needed to rest and recuperate.

She was just talking.

After all, it doesn’t tire one to move their mouth.

The Emperor saw through her tricks long ago and snorted coldly, then lowered his head to play with his beautiful and unique bow and arrow.

“Your Majesty, the showgirls have been entering the palace one after another.”

“Mmm.” The Emperor didn’t even raise his head or ask why she was here.

“About the matter of the Silla Kingdom…”

Emperor slammed the table, “You dare to bring it up again? You’re always causing trouble! If you were a man, I would have thrown you into the army to fight in a war!”

Jiang Ning shrank her neck.

The Emperor glanced at the wound on her head, remained silent for a while, and said, “When did your courage become so small that I scared you like this with a single sentence? Later when you go home, don’t talk nonsense in front of your parents, saying that I scolded you again and that I didn’t give you face.”

Jiang Ning immediately raised her head, “You agree to let me go home?”

The Emperor pointed at her, “Look at you, as soon as you mention going home, you’re full of spirit! What, are you mistreated in the palace? Or is the Crown Prince bullying you?”

“When people are vulnerable, they just want to find their mother…”

“…Ah.” The Emperor sighed deeply with emotion, “You’re lucky to have a living mother. I don’t have a mother to depend on, and the Crown Prince is just as pitiful.”

He thought of Concubine Jin again.

Jiang Ning thought to herself that when Concubine Jin was alive, she didn’t care much about the Crown Prince either.

“Ever since Concubine Jin passed away, the Crown Prince has been constantly troubled. People from outside may not be aware, but I can see it.” Jiang Ning said faintly, observing the Emperor’s expression, “However, the Crown Prince is still lucky, at least he has his father to love and care for him.”

After hearing these words, the Emperor couldn’t help but reduce his recent dislike for the Crown Prince and sighed, “The Crown Prince is really capable.”

“What can he do? He’s just struggling through it. Ever since he became the regent, he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep. He’s constantly on edge, fearing that he’s not doing well and can’t help share the burden with Emperor Father.” Jiang Ning shook her head and sighed, “Your Majesty, please have pity on him and don’t make him work so hard. Now that your health has improved, isn’t it time for you to personally handle state affairs?”

Emperor slammed the table again, knocking the small bow to the ground, “Nonsense! State affairs have nothing to do with you! The Crown Prince is so young, and you think handling little things is too exhausting? What is his purpose to me?”

“He’s young and often makes mistakes, he’s not competent enough…”

“The more he is like this, the more he should learn!” The Emperor roared, “Otherwise, who am I supposed to rely on in the future? This is preposterous! What are you here for? To annoy me? If you want to go home, then get out!”

“Yes, I’ll leave right away.”

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered something, “By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that among this batch of showgirls, there is one who looks like Concubine Jin.”
