He didnât care at all if it would embarrass her.
Jiang Ning was tired after a long day and didnât want to wait any longer, so she asked Huang Ying and the others not to wait and go to sleep.
But they insisted on waiting.
If the groom doesnât show up on the wedding night, it would become a laughingstock.
What can she expect in the future?
Unexpectedly, someone finally came.
But it wasnât the Prince of Yu, but a young dwarf.
He peeked in hesitantly.
Jiang Ning looked up and laughed, beckoning, âXiaoqian, come here.â
It was the emperorâs eldest grandson, Li Tingqian.
Li Tingqian immediately ran to her and grinned, âLittle Aunt!â
Jiang Ning sat up and tapped him on the forehead, âWhy do you always call me Little Aunt? Iâm not your Little Aunt.â
Li Tingqian rubbed his head, âI know now that youâre not my Little Aunt. But soon youâll be my Little Aunt.â
Jiang Ning laughed, âThat day when you fell into the water, did everything turn out alright later?â
âIâm fine, Iâm perfectly fine.â Li Tingqian sat at the edge of the bed, âLittle Aunt, youâre my savior. But my Emperor Grandfather wouldnât let me visit you, I missed you so much.â
âIn the future, you can come visit me often.â
âSure!â Li Tingqian nodded.
âWhy havenât you returned to the palace so late?â Jiang Ning asked.
âI was just about to return, but I wanted to see Little Aunt before leaving.â Li Tingqian took out an oil-paper wrapped package from his bosom, âI heard that on the wedding day, the bride cannot eat anything. Little Aunt, are you hungry? This is the roast chicken I brought specially for you, have a bite.â
Upon unwrapping the oil-paper package, it indeed contained half a roast chicken.
Although Jiang Ningâs morning sickness had lessened, she still couldnât eat such greasy food. She laughed, âXiaoqian is so thoughtful. Put it here, Iâll eat it when Iâm hungry. Tell me, did your Fifth Imperial Uncle get drunk?â
Li Tingqian put the roast chicken on the table, shook his head, and said, âFifth Imperial Uncle did drink, but he can hold his liquor well, so he wouldnât be drunk.â
Jiang Ning laughed, âHeâs not drunk, then it seems he wonât come.â
âFifth Imperial Uncle isnât coming?â Li Tingqian frowned, âThis is not acceptable. Little Aunt, donât worry, Iâll call for Fifth Imperial Uncle to come!â
He ran out in a hurry.
Prince of Yu was changing his clothes in his room and glanced at him when he heard, âHow old are you to meddle in this? Guards, send the emperorâs eldest grandson back to the palace.â
âFifth Imperial Uncle, if you treat Little Aunt badly, I will go back and tell my Emperor Grandfather!â Li Tingqian stood akimbo, chin raised, âEmperor Grandfather loves Little Aunt very much!â
âReally?â
âOf course. In the past few months, Emperor Grandfather has visited Little Aunt every day to have a meal and gave her many good things. If you dare treat Little Aunt badly, Emperor Grandfather wonât spare you.â
The Prince of Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Had Father Emperor known that woman long ago?
And visited her every day for meals?
He pondered thoughtfully.
âYour Highness, are you still going to Miss Liâs room? Miss Li is eagerly waiting for you. Madam Zhao and Maid Fang have also come to inquire.â
Prince of Yu picked up his fan, âGo to the Princess Consortâs.â
Li Tingqian snorted, âWhat a bunch of palace maids and mistresses. In a while, Iâll tell Little Aunt to drive them all out!â
Prince of Yu said, âYou brat, why are you still here? Get back to the palace!â
âI have to see you go to Little Auntâs place, otherwise, Iâll go back and tell Emperor Grandfather!â
In the end, Prince of Yu went to the Main Court.
Jiang Ning was drowsy, but when she heard he had arrived, she became fully alert.
Huang Ying and Chunlai greeted him with a smile, âPrincess Consort has been waiting for Your Highness.â
Prince of Yu glanced towards the bed.
Under the red candlelight, the young girlâs cheeks flushed, her smile sweet and her voice soft, âYour Highness has arrived..â
