Chapter 570 - 291 Curtain Falls_2
This amused the Princess again.
As they spoke, someone came to report that General Qian Manjiang had arrived, and Prince Ning went to the outer court.
When the tall figure disappeared behind the curtain, Princess Ning slowly leaned on a pillow, tears streaming from her dry eyes, which she quickly wiped away with her handkerchief.
Her husband was an upright and grand man, someone meant for great deeds. She wasn’t worried about him, she was worried about her son.
She feared that now the Prince had no other sons, everyone would relentlessly fixate on hers. She also feared that if the Prince had many sons and one ascended to the throne, if she didn’t live long, her son would suffer the same fate as the Crown Prince.
After her death, the Prince would have other women, other sons. How pitiable would her son be, all alone? If that child could marry in, with her intelligence and capability, her son’s life would surely be much easier. Her son was also deeply attached to her, and so wouldn’t grieve too much over her departure...
Sister Wang noticed the Princess crying and her eyes also reddened. She consoled her, "Princess, you must be more open-minded. The Prince is a man of deep emotions. After all these years..."
The Princess said, "I know, it’s my incompetence, unable to serve him. I always urged the Prince to spend more time with the Concubine to have more sons, so no one could use the lack of heirs against him. I’m just worried that if I die too early, what would happen to Jinjin..."
At those words, both Sister Wang and Eunuch Guo began to tear up.
