Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: The Crown Prince Drifts Away

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Jiang Ruobai said menacingly, “The Crown Prince is a bit arrogant now.”

“Isn’t he?” Jiang Ning chuckled.

“In a few days, Li You will be back.”

“Will the Emperor let him return to his ancestry?”

“I can’t fully fathom the Emperor’s mind. However, it’s natural for the Emperor to want it, but whether there are other considerations… it’s hard to say.”

“Whether he returns or not, he’s a threat to the Crown Prince.”

“Hmph, that’s not a bad thing.”

“How so?”

“The Crown Prince is now dominant. Even if there is a just-born Sixth Imperial Prince, he is too young and Concubine Yu is weak and timid, they can’t make waves. Over time, the Crown Prince’s position will become more and more stable, and he will no longer care about anyone else.”

“Father, are you saying that bringing back the Kang County Prince will make it more difficult for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne?” Jiang Ning gasped, “Isn’t that a bit too much?”

“Are you not willing to let him go?”

“No, it’s not that. I just think, after all, they are brothers. For us to do this, doesn’t it pit them against each other? It’s not very moral.”

Jiang Ruobai laughed heartily, “Do you really think they will have brotherly affection and harmony?”

“It’s hard to say. Maybe Li Hongyuan and Li You will have a great rapport and hit it off right away.”

“The probability of that happening is almost zero,” Jiang Ruobai squinted his eyes and looked at the pale sun outside, “My daughter, remember, there is no genuine brotherly affection in the royal family. Do you know why?”

“Because they are competing for the same position.”

“Yes.” Jiang Ruobai sighed, “Just think about it, they are all born princes and sons of the Emperor, but in the future, only one of them can become the supreme master, and the rest can only kneel at his feet as slaves. If it were you, would you be willing?”

Jiang Ning thought seriously, “No, I wouldn’t.”

“I’ve thought about it, bringing Li You back is also good, at least it puts some pressure on the Crown Prince, so he doesn’t get too arrogant and think he has won. And he won’t ignore you and the Jiang family.”

“In that case, father, are you going to promote the return of Li You to his ancestry?” Jiang Ning worried, “If we take the initiative in this matter, will Li Hongyuan be displeased?”

“Silly girl, at our level, many things do not require us to do it personally.”

“Father, you must be prudent and cautious in what you do.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been playing this game for so many years, it’s all about playing it safe. I’ve killed off my opponents so I can be the Prime Minister, just below one person and above thousands.”

Jiang Ning burst into laughter, “Father, are you really below only one person?”

“Hey, it’s just rhetoric, don’t take it seriously.” Jiang Ruobai laughed, “I’ll send a carriage to pick you up and take you back home tomorrow. Your Fifth Sister is getting married, and the family is busy, so I won’t keep you any longer. Just keep in mind what I said earlier, you don’t need to do anything. As long as you’re safe and sound, your mother and I will be relieved.”

“Oh, father, wait a moment,” Jiang Ning called Huang Ying, “Bring me that box from my room.”

Jiang Ruobai said, “Our family doesn’t lack anything, you can keep anything good for yourself.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “Father, it is indeed a good thing, but I can’t use it.”

Huang Ying brought over a huge box.

Jiang Ning opened the box, “Father, look.”

Inside the box, there was a set of bridal clothes neatly arranged.

Lustrous fabric, exquisite embroidery.

Gold threads, precious stones.

These made the bridal clothes shine brilliantly like a treasure.
