Chapter 1007 -1007: You take care of serving in the bedchamber_1

In life, honesty is always of the utmost importance.

Jiang Ning had always been forthright and sincere.

She never concealed her ambitions, her confession for her feelings towards Li Hongyuan also came from the heart.

Li Hongyuan, a man of extraordinary beauty who was a sensation in Chang’an, was with her day and night, to not like him would be unthinkable.

However, if she had to choose, she would always believe power was much more important than a man.

This, she would never reveal to Li Hongyuan.

Although sincerity is needed in life, one should refrain from being too single-minded.

Li Hongyuan seemed to have anticipated her response and appeared calm, “If you don’t want to have a child, that’s fine too. It’s rather good.”

“What’s good about it?”

“Once you’re pregnant, I won’t be able to touch you for at least a year maybe more, isn’t that regrettable?”

“…”

“Since you don’t want to have more children, then there’s no need to bring in new concubines. You can take care of our intimate matters and won’t need to rest.”

“…” Jiang Ning was speechless, “Have you forgotten that you still have Concubine Li?”

“I prefer having you in my bed.” Li Hongyuan gently stroked her back while considering her arrow wound.

“What about Jin Man? I haven’t seen her lately. Why didn’t you appoint her?” Jiang Ning asked.

“I gave her to Murong.”

“Murong?”

“He’s in charge of my Brocade Guards.”

Murong, who had replaced Mu Jian as the leader of the Crown Prince Imperial Guard, was promoted to the commander of the Brocade Guards when Li Hongyuan ascended the throne.

As for the original Brocade Guards, save for those who were killed or fled, most were captured and either executed or banished.

Jiang Ning had some impression of Murong, an able and serious young man who was notably upright.

“Is he willing?”

“Not only was he willing, but he even wanted Jin Man to be his legitimate wife.” Li Hongyuan smirked, “Jin Man was also very satisfied and has already moved to his residence to live.”

Jin Man was a woman who did not care for fame and fortune but craved the love of a man.

Quite the opposite of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning then asked, “What are you planning to do with the concubines that the late emperor left behind?”

Li Hongyuan said, “We will wait for your wounds to heal completely, then you can decide. As the Empress, managing the harem is your duty.”

“It’s easy to deal with the Grand Concubines who have children, they can follow them as they leave the palace. The ones without a child can stay in the Tranquil Mercy Palace. Anyone who hadn’t shared a bed with the emperor can go back to their own homes.” Jiang Ning suggested.

“It’s entirely up to you.”

Among the hundreds of concubines, there are undoubtedly those willing to leave and many others who are reluctant to do so.

Even if they are all Grand Concubines, they must all be taken care of.

Even if Li Hongyuan really doesn’t bring in new concubines, the harem will continue to be bustling.

Under the careful treatment of Imperial Physician Dong and with the arrival of spring, Jiang Ning’s lung injury gradually healed.

She first settled the affairs of the harem, then made proper arrangements for the stay or departure of the Grand Concubines as planned.

As expected, there were more than a hundred of them who preferred to stay.

Since they didn’t want to leave, in order to avoid them gossiping out of sheer boredom, Jiang Ning had them busy themselves with activities varying from embroidery, painting, calligraphy, and even gardening according to their talents.

In essence, all of them were kept busy.

And so, while Li Hongyuan was busy with affairs of the previous dynasty, Jiang Ning was kept busy taking care of more than a hundred “mothers-in-law” in the harem.

Time flew by and soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Although they were still in mourning and could not host grand banquets, it was still permissible for family members to gather and catch up.

Lin Zizi led her daughter-in-law, two concubine-born daughters, and granddaughters into the palace for a visit.
