Jiang Ning said, “I’ve made up my mind. I won’t regret it again.”
“I don’t agree.”
These four words came from Li Hongyuan.
Jiang Ning looked back at him.
He didn’t look at Jiang Ning and said coldly, “Emperor Father, I don’t want Jiang Ning to come back. She has a strange behavior, and she’s lazy and wilful.
I don’t like her.”
“Fifth Brother, do you really not like her?”
“I don’t like her.”
“You always need a Main Consort.”
“I… can marry another noble lady. There are plenty of healthy, gentle and virtuous women in Chang’an City who are qualified to be my Princess Consort.” Li Hongyuan said.
The Emperor was impatient and waved his hand, “Both of you get out and discuss it. When you have a unified decision, come back and tell me.”
Li Hongyuan did not say a word, helped Jiang Ning up, put her on a wheelchair, and pushed her out.
“What’s on your mind? Why do you suddenly want to come back?”
After they left, Li Hongyuan said coldly.
Jiang Ning leaned back on the wheelchair and basked in the warm spring sun, “Didn’t you say you like me? You should be happy that I’m going back.”
“When I wanted you to come back, you didn’t; now that you want to come back, you just do?”
“So you change your mind quite easily.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Well, even if you don’t like me anymore, do it for the sake of Wenzan and Lingzi?”
“My princess consort should be healthy, with normal legs.”
“…” Jiang Ning looked down at her legs.
Li Hongyuan said coldly, “You like to wear beautiful shoes and luxurious ones. What’s the use of even the best and most expensive shoes if you can’t walk freely?”
Jiang Ning quickly took off her shoe and threw it at him, “Shut up!”
The shoe floated lightly in front of Li Hongyuan.
Li Hongyuan said, “You don’t even look at yourself, do you really think that a pretty face can bring down a country?”
Jiang Ning’s eyes reddened quickly.
She took a deep breath, forced the tears back, and said calmly, “Why do you have to touch people’s scars? If you can’t speak nicely, just shut up. You wanted me to go back, and I didn’t. Now you don’t want me to go back, so I want to.”
“I don’t want you, and the Prince of Yu’s Mansion does not welcome you.”
“I’ll ask Lin Zizi to talk to your father! See if you listen!”

Li Hongyuan unclenched his fist.
Dammit.
This woman…
Li Hongyuan felt that he didn’t just like her, but had fallen in love with her.
He squatted down, picked up the shoe, and put it on her foot.
Jiang Ning looked at him as if he were insane.
Li Hongyuan gently stroked her face and said, “Jiang Ning, do you know my current situation?”
Jiang Ning avoided his hand: “I know.”
“You don’t know enough.” Li Hongyuan said, “Do you think that Emperor Father banished me, and I can still be the Prince of Yu elsewhere, and lead a carefree life? No way.”
“What’s the reason?”
“Did you see what happened to those ministers who supported me? Winners are always kings, losers are always bandits. Prince of Huai won’t let me go easily. It doesn’t matter for me alone, but if you come back to the Prince of Yu’s Mansion now, wouldn’t that be like jumping into the fire with the children?”
“We’ll be careful.”
“You’re oversimplifying things.” Li Hongyuan said, “Besides, I can’t take you and the children together and let you suffer with me. They’re still too young. I know, you asked Emperor Father today just to save Wenren Family. Let me give you some advice: don’t tie yourself to someone else.”
Jiang Ning said, “Why did you risk your own future for someone else then?”
Li Hongyuan stood up, “Are you someone else?”
