Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Sister Swaps Daughter-in-law
Prince Xinhai had a fair complexion, thin eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips.
Despite his good looks, he seemed a little difficult to get along with.
His eyes fixed on Jiang Ning’s face, he said, “I know.”
“Prince Xinhai, you must be drunk. You should go back and get some rest early.” Jiang Ning tried to leave by going around him.
However, Prince Xinhai grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Ning slapped him right away.
It made a crisp sound.
Prince Xinhai immediately let go of her, looking at her incredulously. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Jiang Ning tucked her hands into her sleeves, showing a gentle smile on her face: “Your Highness, you must be drunk. I’ll call someone to help you.”
“I like you,” Prince Xinhai said.
“You could possibly be beaten to death.”
“You are so beautiful,” Prince Xinhai gazed at her face obsessively, “I have never seen such a beautiful person before, and you completely bewitch me at first sight.”
Jiang Ning said, “Your Highness, you should get out more. Otherwise, your limited experience will make you as ignorant as a frog at the bottom of a well.”
“I must have you. Definitely,” Prince Xinhai said.
Jiang Ning thought his demeanor resembled that of a paranoid.
As Prince Xinhai, being so young, he must have been spoiled rotten. He had always gotten whatever he wanted. Now, when he came to Great Sheng, he hadn’t fully realized the difference in status and identity. He thought Jiang Ning was a woman of the Silla Kingdom, and he could have her as long as he asked.
Jiang Ning thought about it and with a smile, said, “It’s no use talking to me about this.”
“Who should I talk to?”
“Crown Prince Li Hongyuan, of course. After all, he is my husband now.”
“As long as I persuade the Crown Prince to let me have you, you will be willing?”
“If you can persuade him, I would consider giving it a try.”
Jiang Ning nodded slightly and left with her hand warmer.
As expected, Li Hongyuan’s face was not very good-looking when he returned to the East Palace that night.
He went to see the two children first, and his mood improved a little after seeing that Lingzi had fully recovered. He played with them for quite a while.
Jiang Ning and Li Yuanyuan were talking in the warm pavilion. When Li Hongyuan entered, Li Yuanyuan quickly stood up, greeted him, and silently withdrew.
“Your Highness is back,” Jiang Ning pushed a covered bowl to him, “This ginseng tea is just right for drinking.”
Li Hongyuan sat down, drank some tea, and after looking at her for a while, said, “Prince Xinhai asked me to let him have you.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “What did you say?”
“He laid out conditions.”
“What conditions?”
“After he inherits the throne, Silla will maintain a friendly relationship with Great Sheng forever.”
“Silla is originally a vassal state of Great Sheng.”
“Yes, but the treaty is about to expire.” Li Hongyuan said lightly.
“Ah, so this is the purpose of their visit this time, to discuss this matter?”
“What else could it be? Do you think they traveled all this way just to exchange two prisoners?” Li Hongyuan said, “Prince Xinhai also said he would leave his sister, Princess Zhenming, behind to be my Princess Consort.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Exchanging a sister for a wife, this millennia-old bargain never gets old.”
“You can actually laugh about it.”
“If you agreed, then I might not be able to laugh.”
“Honestly, the conditions offered by Prince Xinhai are quite tempting.” Li Hongyuan changed to a more comfortable position, “You know, the Prairie Cavalry is powerful, and Silla is like a natural barrier against them. If Prince Xinhai and the Prairie Cavalry work together, it will be a big trouble.”
“So, you agreed?”
“I agreed,” Li Hongyuan smiled, “I agreed to leave both Princess Zhenming and Prince Xinhai in Great Sheng.”
