Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 640
Chapter 640: Chapter 640: A Belly Full of Evil Fire
Li Hongyuan watched helplessly as the distance between him and Jiang Ning grew, completely occupied by the two little rascals.
“Lingzi, my darling, let mommy kiss your forehead, is your fever gone?” Jiang Ning quickly put on a shirt, pulled Lingzi into her arms and tucked her into the quilt, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
Warm and cool.
This was Jiang Ning’s favorite temperature.
She was very happy.
If Lingzi didn’t have a fever during the day, this would be the end of the illness.
Fortunately, the boy and girl twins who always fell ill together didn’t pass the cold to Wenzan this time.
Does this mean that they’ve grown up a little, especially since Wenzan is a boy and started to learn martial arts, making his physique stronger?
“Li Hongyuan,”
With the two children in between, Jiang Ning spoke to Li Hongyuan.
Li Hongyuan had nowhere to vent his anger and replied irritably, “How dare you call me by my name in front of the children?”
Although he found the two children very annoying, he couldn’t just grab them and throw them out.
After all, they were his own children.
“Your Highness,” Jiang Ning immediately changed her tone, “in the future, let Lingzi practice martial arts with Wenzan.”
“There’s no rule in the palace for girls to practice martial arts.”
“Is there a rule that girls can’t practice martial arts?”
“There isn’t.”
“Then let Lingzi learn as well. Firstly, children can build up their strength and be less prone to illness by practicing martial arts. Secondly, I think girls need to learn martial arts even more than boys so they can protect themselves.”
Li Hongyuan’s gaze fell on his delicate daughter, thinking of her pitiful appearance when she was sick, and agreed, “All right, I’ll talk to Emperor Father.”
“Thank you.”
“Lingzi is also my daughter.”
“You must remember this for the rest of your life.”
“What do you mean?” Li Hongyuan narrowed his eyes to look at her.
“I know being a princess seems glamorous and wealthy, but once they’re of marriageable age, most end up as tools to strengthen royal rule. I hope you won’t let our daughter suffer such a fate in the future.”
Li Hongyuan replied, “You’re thinking too far ahead.”
“I’m just mentioning it. With me around, I won’t let my daughter marry someone she doesn’t like casually.” Jiang Ning kissed Lingzi and then Wenzan, “Get up, I’ll dress you both. Today, I have things to do with your father. Behave and follow Aunt Huang Ying, no mischief allowed.”
“Yes, we’ll remember.”
“Daddy, take Lingzi with you.” Lingzi knew there was no point in being spoiled with her mother and could only cling to her father. As long as she acted cute, her father the Crown Prince would agree to anything.
As expected, with her small hands around her father’s neck and her soft cheek rubbing against his, it didn’t take long for Li Hongyuan to give in.
“Alright, I’ll take Lingzi with me.”
“You can’t take her.”
Before Lingzi could be happy, her mother vetoed the idea.
Lingzi pouted.
“Crying won’t work!” Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow, “You’ve just recovered. Stay in the East Palace and behave. If you go out and catch a cold, you won’t be able to go out and enjoy the Lantern Festival.”
Lingzi immediately complied, hugging her father’s neck, “Daddy, then Lingzi won’t go.”
Li Hongyuan glanced at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning swiftly dressed the two children in little jackets and pants, and put on her own robe.
Huang Ying led the palace maids, with clothes and water at the ready, to attend to Jiang Ning and Li Hongyuan.
Today, they were meeting the envoys of the Silla Kingdom in their roles as the Crown Prince and Princess Consort of Great Sheng, so they had to wear a full set of formal attire and Phoenix coronets.
