Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Daddy’s Guarantee

Upon hearing that Concubine Li was to be taken out, Wenzan had no reaction, but Lingzi immediately became unhappy and even pouted.

She hugged her father’s neck: “Daddy, don’t take Concubine Li.”

“Why not?”

“Daddy is bad!” Lingzi pouted, her big eyes quickly filled with a layer of mist, “Why doesn’t Daddy take Mother out and instead takes Concubine Li? Doesn’t Daddy like Mother?”

Li Hongyuan: “…”

He could be cold to Jiang Ning, but he couldn’t say anything harsh to such a soft little person.

This was his daughter after all.

Wholeheartedly dependent on him, his own little daughter.

Li Hongyuan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the little girl’s eyes, smiling softly, “Daddy, of course, loves Mother. But Mother’s leg isn’t feeling well, don’t we have to let her rest at home?”

The little girl accepted this explanation.

She was still very concerned about her mother’s leg.

“Daddy can go without Mommy, but you can’t bring Concubine Li.” She sniffed, speaking with a milky voice.

“Why?” Li Hongyuan asked patiently.

“Because everyone is going out to play, leaving Mother alone at home, Mother will be sad, and she will cry.” Lingzi spoke, unable to hold back her tears.

Jiang Ning was a bit surprised.

This little guy.

Normally, she would immediately hold the little girl to her chest and comfort her.

But now the little girl was hugging her father’s neck, and Jiang Ning pretended not to see or hear.

Li Hongyuan was busy comforting her, not thinking to let the nanny or nursemaid help, nor asking Jiang Ning for help.

“Alright, alright, Daddy won’t take Concubine Li, stop crying.” Li Hongyuan was defeated by the little girl’s tears.

“Daddy must keep his promise to Lingzi.”

“Daddy promises.”

Under Li Hongyuan’s repeated assurances and ordering Li Xiu to inform Concubine Li, Lingzi finally relented and put away the pearl necklace.

Li Hongyuan glanced at Jiang Ning.

He found her leisurely eating breakfast, as if it had nothing to do with her, like she was just watching a show.

Wenzan tugged at her sleeve and asked, “Mother, are we going?”

Jiang Ning took a sip of soybean milk: “You have to ask your father.”

Li Hongyuan said: “Your mother’s leg is not well, she can’t go anywhere. Today, Daddy will take you two out of the palace to play. Let Nanny change your clothes, and we will leave now.”

The two children happily changed their clothes and went out with Li Hongyuan under the escort of the nanny and palace ladies.

Jiang Ning was originally very calm.

She didn’t want to leave the palace either.

Having someone to help her with the children was what she asked for, she could finally have some peace and quiet.

Until Huang Ying said something to her.

“Master, I seem to remember.” Huang Ying hesitated and whispered.

“What?” Jiang Ning didn’t react at first.

Huang Ying whispered: “The letter.”

Jiang Ning exclaimed and hurriedly asked, “What do you remember?”

“It seems to be General Mu’s.” Huang Ying frowned, “Master, please forgive me, I can’t remember very clearly. I just vaguely remember that during Lantern Festival one year, the ladies in the palace wrote riddles on lanterns for the servants to guess. General Mu guessed several right, and won the ladies’ favor, even getting some rewards.”

“Did you see Mu Jian’s handwriting at that time?”

“Yes, because I was ordered to serve the ink and paper, I happened to pick up General Mu’s note.” Huang Ying tried to remember, “At that time, I thought that General Mu looked rough but had such beautiful and elegant handwriting. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have remembered it so clearly.”
