Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Uncle’s Eyes Shine Brightly

The expressions on the Jiang brothers’ faces were not very good, and they left early with their respective families.

Jiang Ning followed them out.

Lin Zizi said: “Ning’er, don’t think too much about it, just live your life as the Princess Consort in peace. No matter where the beauty comes from, she can’t shake your position.”

She was quite clear-headed. Let alone the Crown Prince, even if she married Jiang Ruobai, she could not escape the fate of being surrounded by concubines and concubine-born children.

Not to mention being in the palace.

But a concubine was ultimately a concubine, always a servant standing by to serve, never a master.

Jiang Ruobai said: “After the New Year, there will probably be another round of selections for the East Palace.”

“What aselection, what does the young Crown Prince need so many women for?” Jiang Mubai sneered, “Prime Minister Jiang, you are so indifferent to your own daughter and only care about how to please the Crown Prince, I spit!”

Jiang Ruobai laughed: “If General Jiang wants to interfere with the Crown Prince’s harem, it would be better to take a knife and cut that beauty apart? That way, we wouldn’t have to worry about the Silla beauty robbing our daughter of her favor.”

“I spit, do our Jiang family’s daughters need to fight for favor? Those who serve with charm and beauty are lowly people doing lowly things! I don’t care how many women the Crown Prince wants, but if any of them dares to disrespect my daughter, I will skin her alive!”

Jiang Ning hastily placated the general: “Uncle, calm your anger. My position as the Princess Consort is secure. In fact, the Crown Prince consulted with me beforehand, and I naturally agreed. Right now, Great Sheng still needs Silla to fight against the invasions of the Rouran cavalry. By accepting the Silla woman, it can also reassure the Monarch of Silla to do things for us.”

“As long as you can take it easy, it’s good.”

Jiang Mubai shook his head, still full of displeasure in his eyebrows, “Relying on a few beauties to solve the problems between men is simply…”

Fearing that he would say something even more rebellious, Jiang Ruobai hurriedly kicked him, “Have you had enough to drink yet?”

Jiang Mubai slowly looked at him, swaying his neck from side to side, with murderous intent in his eyes, “It seems that it’s been a long time since we brothers practiced our skills together. Someone must think that they are getting too comfortable.”

He rubbed his wrist and walked towards Jiang Ruobai.

Jiang Ruobai’s expression stiffened, and he hastily helped Lin Zizi to leave quickly.

Jiang Mubai was too lazy to chase after him, he put down his fist, patted Jiang Ning’s back, and his voice became gentle and mellow, “Good child, with your uncle here, I won’t let you suffer any grievances.”

Jiang Ning hesitated and smiled, “Uncle, you must take good care of your body to protect your niece.”

“Don’t worry.”

Jiang Mubai glanced at a certain spot on the roof and strode away.

Jiang Ning also looked back and saw that it was exactly where Gucheng was.

What an incisive gaze, General Jiang!

Jiang Ning truly admired.

“What did you say?” Gucheng didn’t know when he had floated down and landed beside her, asking.

Jiang Ning said: “I originally wanted my uncle to teach Prince Xinhai a lesson, but… better not.”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid that my uncle would kill Prince Xinhai to vent his anger for me, causing trouble for the family.” Jiang Ning sighed, “Even though our Jiang family is now powerful and invincible, it would only take a moment for it to collapse.”

She understood deeply the ruthlessness and horror of royal power.

Gucheng was silent.

After the banquet, Jiang Ning returned to the East Palace, and from a distance, she saw Li Yuanyuan leading a tall beauty to greet her.

It was Jin Man.

After being groomed, Jin Man had already changed into the palace dress of Great Sheng.

In Jiang Ning’s eyes, Jin Man’s beauty, which was full of exotic wildness, was not very suitable for the gentle and intricate palace dress.
