Upon arriving back at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Lin Zizi had already packed the belongings of both the children and the adults.
The children were also pacified.
Jiang Ning glanced at the children and smiled, “Mother really has a way.” “There’s nothing wrong with the children, they’re just hot. Children are more sensitive to heat than adults. How can they not be uncomfortable wrapped up so thickly in such weather?” Lin Zizi glared at the wet nurse.
The wet nurse lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
Even Lin Zizi’s anger was gentle.
She asked Jiang Ning, “Has the Prince of Yu left?”
“Yes.”
“Mother really misses you,” sighed Lin Zizi.
Jiang Ning laughed, “Mother, moving into the Prince of Yu’s Mansion this time is a hundred times more liberating than before. If you miss me, you can visit, and I can return whenever I miss you too. No one can control me anymore.” “I’m not talking about that. I don’t know if the Prince of Yu will be able to return once he leaves. My heart aches to think that at such a young age, you’ll be left to guard the Prince of Yu’s Mansion like a widow.”
“Oh, Mother, I’m still young. What’s the point of thinking about all that now?” “How can a mother not worry? You’ll be alone in the Prince of Yu’s Mansion, taking care of two children while your man is thousands of miles away. That’s too hard.”
“Not hard at all,” Jiang Ning laughed.
She was surrounded by four wet nurses and a large group of maids and servants.
She didn’t have to stay up late to feed the babies, nor did she have to tire herself out by holding and coaxing them to sleep, and she didn’t have to wash clothes or diapers.
Her job was just to take an occasional look and hold them when she felt like it.
She went to bed at night and woke up naturally. She had cute and pretty maids to help her with washing and dressing, and prepared meals were served to her. Hard, my ass.
And most importantly, she didn’t have to serve a man or watch his moods.
The entire mansion was under her control!
This was the life of a fairy!
Jiang Ning happily moved into the Prince of Yu’s Mansion with her two children.
Jiang Ruobai came back to send her off, his face stern, preparing a stomach full of parting grief. In the end, he witnessed her joyful demeanor and teased her for being heartless.
Once settled into the Prince of Yu’s Mansion, life was as carefree and enjoyable as she had expected.
Meanwhile, the restaurant she had set up with Jiang Yi was also in full swing. Life was originally peaceful and happy, but there were always exceptions. The Emperor, not knowing whether she was lonely or unable to care for the two children, would frequently issue decrees for her to bring the children into the palace. Sometimes, the children had to stay in the palace.
Aside from the harassment by the aging emperor, the newly-appointed Princess Consort of the Crown Prince, formerly the Princess Consort of Huai, was also a restless person. She held various gatherings in the East Palace and invited the royal family members to attend.
There were flower appreciation events on the third of the third month, rituals on the Qingming Festival, and even more events during the Dragon Boat Festival.
As the Princess Consort of Yu, Jiang Ning was always on the invitation list.
She couldn’t refuse either.
If she did refuse, the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince would visit her personally, expressing concern and asking why she didn’t attend, or if she was feeling unwell, even bringing the Imperial Physician with her.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Ning would begrudgingly attend at least one of the events after being invited three times.
Now, with the Qixi Festival approaching, the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince was busy once again.
Jiang Ning had already turned down two invitations, so this time she had no choice but to go.
Huang Ying complained, “This Princess Consort of the Crown Prince is too keen on these events. Doesn’t she think it’s too expensive?”
Jiang Ning laughed, “If you were originally quite ugly and suddenly became a great beauty one day, would you hide at home to admire yourself or go out?” “Well… of course, I’d go out.”
“So you understand her then. After becoming the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince, shouldn’t she show off a bit? Make sure all the dignitaries in Chang’an City know that she’s the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince..”
