Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 865: Chapter 865: I Unfairly Blamed Her in the Past_1

Jin Man urged herself to endure in her heart.

But, her face really hurt.

She may not be a princess, but she was nonetheless a noble lady of Silla. Having been pampered since childhood due to her doll-like beauty, her life had been one of indulgence.

Even though this beauty didn’t bring her any good fortune, but instead turned her into a pawn casually sent into the East Palace, both the Princess Consort and Concubine Li in the East Palace were individuals of good temperament, and they never made things difficult for her, never shortchanging her in terms of basic necessities.

It could be said that apart from failing to win the favor of the Crown Prince, her life in the East Palace was actually ten times more comfortable than it had been in Silla.

She thought she could continue living such a comfortable life, and the only thing she needed to do for the rest of her life was to try to please the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort.

Who could have expected that reality would slap her in the face so brutally?

The slap left her reeling, unable to tell north from south.

Princess Ling’an was still ingratiating herself with the Crown Prince: “Dear Prince, how dare the lowly woman from Silla come into your bedchamber. I taught her a lesson for you, how will you thank me?”

Li Hongyuan coldly brushed her hand away and asked, “What is your role in the East Palace? Who gave you the right to reprimand the people here?”

Princess Ling’an was taken aback, her smile faltering slightly as she pouted, “Dear Prince, I’m still Princess Ling’an after all, now that the Emperor and the Empress have bestowed me upon you….”

Li Hongyuan replied indifferently, “If I recall correctly, my father, the Emperor, sent you here to be a servant. Are you supposed to be the master now?”

“Wasn’t that just said out of anger by the Emperor? Are we really supposed to take it seriously?” Princess Ling’an clearly did not take the Emperor’s words to heart at all.

What a joke, she was Princess Ling’an after all!

It was already humbling enough not to be a princess consort.

Be a servant?

That was impossible.

Li Hongyuan glanced at Jin Man, who was standing in the corner covering her face, her head bowed, revealing a half swollen face with tears brimming in her eyes. He then said, “Jin Liangyuan, go back and rest. You can’t come here without reason.”

“Yes, I take my leave.”

Despite seeing her being bullied, the Crown Prince did not say a word of comfort. Even though Jin Man was aggrieved, embarrassed, and heartbroken, she still bowed obediently and slowly exited the room.

Upon seeing this, Princess Ling’an was pleased and said, “This woman really doesn’t understand her place. She needs to be taught a lesson more often to keep her in line since she is only a lowly person from Silla. Dear Prince, you are too soft-hearted. Why keep her around? You might as well get rid of her.”

Li Hongyuan ignored her and suddenly asked, “Did the Princess Consort send you here?”

“Yes. The Princess Consort specially arranged for me to serve you.” The usually domineering Princess Ling’an seemed somewhat innocent at this moment, “Honestly, I was quite surprised.”

“Why?”

“The Princess Consort, I have always found her quite annoying. I think that apart from having a father who is the Senior Grand Secretary and a somewhat decent face, she’s useless and has a bad heart. I never expected, she’s actually quite nice.”

“Quite nice?” Li Hongyuan repeated her words.

“When I offended the Emperor and was punished by being made a servant in the East Palace, everyone was laughing at me but only the Princess Consort comforted me and even let me stay by your side, dear prince. I think, the Princess Consort is quite a kind person. I must have misunderstood her in the past.”

Li Hongyuan displayed an enigmatic smile and softly said, “In that case, you can go serve her at the Crystal Clear Manor from now on.”
