    Trantor: 549690339


    Li Hongyuan saw everything as soon as he came out.


    “Chashan, what’s going on?”


    “In response to your Highness, I acted ording to your wish and have acquired all the food stalls along the road, forbidding them from selling anything to that pedantic schr He Tang,” replied Chashan, “Including this candied hawthorn.”


    Li Hongyuan was so amused that he burst intoughter. “Is this what you understood from my instructions?”


    “Yes it is. Aren’t you feeling jealous over the Princess Consort?”


    “Me, jealous?” Li Hongyuan scoffed. “I just can’t stand Jiang Ning’sck of decency. She is a married woman, pregnant no less, yet she roams around all day, openly eating, drinking, andughing with different men. It’s utterly… disgraceful!”


    Chashan: “That’s why your servant did as I did. In the end, that pedantic schr slunk away, and the Princess Consort had to pay for her own osmanthus cake. However…”


    “However, what?”


    “The candied hawthorn, it doesn’t seem like it was paid for. It appeared that the Princess Consort had Xiaoman snatch it… strange, the Princess Consort doesn’t seem like the kind of person who cares about small change…”


    “Idiot.” Li Hongyuan said coldly. “She must’ve already guessed that I was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, that’s why she acted the way she did.”


    “It wasn’t your Highness, it was all my decision…”


    “If you do it, isn’t that the same as me doing it?”


    “…Your servant has made another mistake.” Chashan bowed his head in shame.


    “Leave.”


    Li Hongyuan went over and kicked down the wooden stake.


    The Grand Court Assembly was scheduled for the next day, where all the schrs and ministers would gather at the pce for the morning court.


    As it was before the crack of dawn, Li Hongyuan got up, washed, changed, and as per his habit did not eat breakfast before heading to the pce in his pnquin.


    After the morning court ended, the ministers, all of whom were starving, scattered to find a ce to eat.


    Normally, Li Hongyuan would dine at the Splendid Pce, but today he was not in the mood and decided to leave the pce directly.


    Just as he reached the main gate of his manor, Jiang Ning, along with Huang Ying and Xiaoman, casually strolled out.


    They were going out again.


    With a cold expression on his face, Li Hongyuan walked straight in.


    Jiang Ning disregarded him as if she hadn’t seen him, and they passed each other by.


    Although he really wanted to hold her wheelchair and throw her back into the Crystal Clear Manor, thinking of all the tricks she could y, Li Hongyuan quickly discarded the idea.


    “Where are you going this time?” He suddenly asked as they crossed paths.


    “Just for a stroll.”


    “You love going out so much.”


    “After all, there are people in the manor who don’t appreciate me.” Jiang Ning, leaning backzily in her wheelchair, squinting with an indolent air, looked up at him.


    Seeing her in thisx attitude, Li Hongyuan was inexplicably irritated.


    “By the way, don’t forget to return the candied hawthorn stick. After all, it’s someone’s livelihood.” Jiang Ning said, “The eatery I want to visit today might be expensive, you better prepare more money.”


    “You got your advantage and now act so smug!”


    Li Hongyuan did not bother to exin that the matter had nothing to do with him and that it was Chashan acting on his own. He simply walked straight in.


    Jiang Ning was indeed just going for a casual stroll.


    She is not some spoiled daughter of a rich family who wouldn’t step outside of their second gate. Cooped up in the house every day could lead to depression.


    Now in her second trimester, which was the mostfortable period of pregnancy, she had to seize the opportunity to go out and have fun. Once it waste pregnancy, or after the birth of the child, she wouldn’t be able to go out anymore.


    They hadn’t walked very far when they saw Xiaoqian darting about like a little emperor surrounded by attendants.


    She grabbed hold of the young emperor’s cor. “Hey, little rascal, what are you doing?”


    Li Tingqian was delighted to see her. “Aunt! I missed you!”


    “If you missed me, why didn’t youe visit?”


    “Grandpa Emperor doesn’t allow me to go. He says I’m too naughty and would give you a headache because there’s a baby in your belly.” Li Tingqian innocently replied..
