Jiang Ning's words countered what the Emperor had just scolded the Crown Prince for.
Just when everyone thought Jiang Ning was bound to provoke the Emperor's wrath, the Emperor let out a burst of laughter instead.
Pointing at Jiang Ning, he laughed for a while, then said, "You can't bear the slightest disadvantage, and even the pettiest grudge you have to exact revenge for. I don't understand, with Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi being such refined and elegant people, how did they end up with a ruffian like you?"
"Your majesty, let's keep it to the topic. There's no need for personal attacks," Jiang Ning retorted somewhat displeased, "Can I compare to them? Have you even considered where I was raised? If I was raised in the Jiang family, I could have been just as graceful."
The Emperor smirked, "Just one remark, and look how much you grumble. It's not my fault that you were forced to the streets."
