Jiang Ning, holding Huang Ying and Chun Lai’s hands, got into the carriage, and it set off slowly towards the Imperial Palace.
Because of her difficulty walking, Huang Ying stayed close to assist her.
Waking up too early and sitting in the swaying carriage, Jiang Ning felt a little sleepy.
When she got out of the carriage, she lifted her sleeve and covered a few yawns, just as Li Hongyuan turned his head and saw it.
He frowned.
This woman, why is she always tired as if she hasn’t slept for hundreds of years.
If she yawns like this in front of Emperor Father and Concubine Mother, wouldn’t it be disrespectful?
He felt that it was necessary to say a few words of advice, so he stood at the Immortal-view Gate, waiting for Huang Ying to push her over.
Who would’ve thought that they would just walk right past him…
Not to mention stopping, she didn’t even bother giving him a glance.
She completely ignored him.
Li Hongyuan’s eyebrows twitched, and he reached out and grabbed the wheelchair, saying to Huang Ying, “I will push her.”
Huang Ying bowed her head and retreated, falling a few steps behind.
Jiang Ning leaned against the wheelchair, supporting her chin with one hand, looking around at the people coming and going indifferently.
Today was Concubine Jin’s birthday celebration, and both outsider and insider noble ladies were present.
As for the Jiang Family…
There probably weren’t many people coming.
Jiang Family’s eldest Madam didn’t have a decree and thus wasn’t qualified to attend the palace banquet. Lin Zizi, connected to Jiang Ruobai, did have a decree, but her mental state hadn’t been very good in recent years. Everyone in Chang’an City knew this, so she wasn’t invited.
As for Jiang Yuan and the others, being concubine-born daughters, they could go to other aristocratic families, but not to the palace.
She looked around and didn’t recognize anyone.
But it was Li Hongyuan pushing her wheelchair, this combination attracted a 100% turnaround rate of attention.
The elegant and handsome young Prince of Yu married a cripple, and the news caused quite a sensation in Chang’an City.
Li Hongyuan saw her eyes wandering everywhere and couldn’t help but frown and speak, “Normally I don’t care what you do at home. However, in this occasion, you’d better not disgrace me.”
Jiang Ning said indifferently, “If you’re worried I’ll disgrace you, why bring me along? I might as well go back now and have your Miss Li come along instead. How about that?”
“If Ms. Li were here, she would probably be more appropriate than you. It’s just a pity she doesn’t have your face.”
“Your Highness is really candid.”
“I’ve always been upright and forthright.”
Jiang Ning let out a soft chuckle.
Li Hongyuan heard it but ignored it, “I’m reminding you, don’t act so lazy in front of Emperor Father, Queen Mother, and Concubine Mother later.”
“So particular.”
“What did you say?”
“Emperor Father himself steps on a stool, squats on the ground, and eats with a bowl in hand. You, as his son, are so particular.”
“How can Emperor Father…” Speaking to this point, Li Hongyuan suddenly remembered Xiaoqian’s words.
That was right, Emperor Father had eaten at her restaurant for two months.
It turned out that he, who had grown up so large, had never shared so many meals with Emperor Father at the same table.
It seemed that he, as a son, was not as close to Emperor Father as this woman.
Thinking about these things, he fell silent and stopped talking.
Jiang Ning enjoyed the peace.
The banquet would be held in Harmony Hall.
Li Hongyuan and Jiang Ning went to kowtow to Concubine Jin first.
Concubine Jin was lying on a couch, in a crimson long skirt, wrapped around her soft curves, her expression lazy and cold, making people dare not approach, only admire from afar.
Supported by others, Jiang Ning and Li Hongyuan knelt down and kowtowed to her.
“Your humble son wishes Concubine Mother a life of peace and tranquility, with evergreen trees in the Xuan Pavilion and warm days in the Xuanti courtyard with flowers in bloom..”
