BXBX NOVEL Chapter 395: She is Just a Concubine
“What?” Xiaoman looked up.
“You will be attending to the young Princess Consort from now on. She is young, weak, and slow-moving. If she doesn’t want to walk, you can carry or piggyback her,” Jiang Ning said.
Xiaoman’s eyes brightened: “Can Xiaoman serve the young Princess Consort?”
“Of course, you can.”
“Great, great, Xiaoman is willing!” Xiaoman cheered up.
Jiang Ning said: “The Crown Prince and young Princess Consort are currently with Madam. Gather your things and go there. They are quite heavy now and carrying them all the time can be tiring. Go and help Madam.”
“Uh huh!”
Xiaoman nodded vigorously.
Now that her strength had a purpose, Xiaoman no longer felt useless.
Huang Ying instructed Xiachu: “Go and help her pack and move to Madam’s place.”
Xiachu nodded, taking Xiaoman with her.
At this time, Dongxie ran in, saying: “Princess Consort, the steward of the front yard sent a message saying someone is asking to see you.”
“Who is it?”
“They claim to be from Prince of Yu’s residence.”
“From the Prince of Yu’s residence?” Jiang Ning pondered slightly, “Is it a woman?”
“Yes.”
“Let her come in.”
Dongxie ran back, and soon after, ushered in a delicately fragile woman.
The woman was draped in a snowy white cloak, her figure slender and elegant, exuding a natural charm and grace.
It was Li Yuanyuan.
She gently curtsied: “I am Ms. Li, I came to greet the Princess Consort.”
Jiang Ning said: “You seem to have lost a lot of weight.”
Li Yuanyuan lowered her head, softly speaking: “Thank you for your concern, Princess Consort. I have been worrying about my lord recently, and I have lost my appetite.”
“You shouldn’t worry too much.”
“How is your injury, Princess Consort?”
“It’s much better.”
“I haven’t come to greet you for a while, Princess Consort, I ask for your forgiveness. I have just recovered as well.”
“What happened to you?”
“I was ambushed on the way back following his highness, and I got injured,” Li Yuanyuan said quietly. “I am just starting to recover.”
“I see.”
“Princess Consort, I have a request.”
“Go on.”
“I want to visit his highness.”
“Well, go on,” Jiang Ning laughed, “You don’t need to report such things to me.
I won’t stop you.”
Li Yuanyuan said: “I don’t have the qualification to go…”
“Hmm?”
“Princess Consort, she is just a concubine,” Huang Ying reminded her softly from the side, “According to the rules, she doesn’t have the right to enter the palace at will, let alone visit the Court of Judicial Review.”
Jiang Ning suddenly understood.
She often forgets the strict class hierarchy of this dynasty.
Generally, a concubine is considered half a servant, with virtually no human rights.
Although Li Yuanyuan is a guest of the Prince of Yu, she essentially remains a concubine.
Jiang Ning asked: “And how would you like me to help you?”
Li Yuanyuan knelt down, lifting her skirt: “I beg the Princess Consort to take me to the Court of Judicial Review to visit the Prince.”
Xiachu on the side frowned: “You are really out of line. Can’t you see that the Princess Consort is still recovering?”
“Xiachu, don’t be rude,” Huang Ying chided.
It wouldn’t be a problem for Jiang Ning to go out now, but she would still need to use a wheelchair and couldn’t stand for a long time.
After all, her bones still hadn’t fully healed.
Jiang Ning said: “If you want to go, I can grant you a token, and you can go yourself.”
Li Yuanyuan shook her head: “I beg the Princess Consort to accompany me to visit his highness.”
Now even Huang Ying began to frown.
This Ms. Li was getting somewhat arrogant, because of her favoritism.
Jiang Ning, however, remained calm and asked, “Why are you so insistent that I accompany you?”
