Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 241.1: Appear Like Treasure, But In Reality Grass

The living Enma has already mapped out his plans, starting right now on his preparations to have his wife held up onto the position of ‘national treasure’.

The qinwang procession left Jin Qinwang Manor. In the past, on there, it was always just Li Hong Yuan alone, but now there was someone that will sit alongside him. From now on, they will always be together, walking through sweet happiness together, and also will walk through difficulties and hardships together. Although his heart was still unable to thoroughly be at peace, but holding Jing Wan, at least in this moment, Li Hong Yuan was satisfied.

After getting down from the carriage, Li Hong Yuan rejected the sedan chair, and just boldly holding Jing Wan’s hand, neither quickly nor slowly headed towards the inner palace. Jing Wan wanted to have her hand pulled back several times, but all unable to succeed.

“We’re newly-weds, being a bit more intimate is also expected and as it should be.” Li Hong Yuan sternly and rightfully stated.

Jing Wan speechlessly stared at him. Intimacy between husband and wife, that can only be done in private. The people of the world all lived by the ideal of etiquette and propriety, being reserved in conducting oneself. To be holding hands like this in broad daylight, it was practically an insult to refined culture.

Alright, Jing Wan actually long predicted such a day. Being together with this kind of thick-skinned person, one should first toughen one’s skin. After yielding no results, Jing Wan also just allowed him to hold her hand. If it really were to turn into aggressively tugging and pulling, then that would be embarrassing.

Li Hong Yuan seemingly wasn’t in the slightest rush, leisurely walking with Jing Wan in high spirits. In any case, according to his idea, his old man’s main governmental affairs still haven’t been cleanly taken care of yet, so this while, they won’t be able to see the person anyways. As for Noble Consort Su, heheh, as a warm caring mother, she naturally should understand her son’s happy frame of mind after finally marrying a wife, and won’t bicker with him.

As such, when Noble Consort Su learned that her son and her new daughter-in-law entered the palace, in the beginning, she was still sighing to the other imperial concubines that came to her palace, as well as her other daughter-in-law, that things were just different after obtaining a wife. In the past, aside from occasionally attending morning court, he just never entered the palace this early before.

Unfortunately, more than an hour had already passed, yet still didn’t see the person. Noble Consort Su was a bit restless, her face also a bit unable to maintain. This was practically just the prime example of ‘having a wife and forgetting the mother’. Speaking of which, for a long time now, the son that even Le Cheng Emperor was unable to control, she was able to control. She believed that her place in her son’s heart was the most important, but ever since the day her daughter-in-law entered the gates, she seemingly just neither lightly nor heavily got slapped in the face. Truthfully speaking, Noble Consort Su really was a bit angry.

Rui Wangfei had her eyes to her nose and her nose to her heart, lowering her head to drink tea, just like as if she didn’t notice anything at all.

And Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan who were preparing to go to Yucui Palace directly got called over by Le Cheng Emperor.

However, Le Cheng Emperor’s mood wasn’t that wonderful. Rather, it was still because of Li Hong Yuan tinily revealing that ‘tip of the blade’ yesterday, making him be on guard, even having a kind of having gotten decieved feeling. In his hand, he even had the characters Li Hong Yuan wrote down. Originally just an ordinary handwriting, but now………….

One has to know, there were too many memorandums that passed through Le Cheng Emperor’s hands, and among them, ones with good handwriting naturally were innumerable. Even if in this aspect, he has long been raised into a picky appetite, when seeing Li Hong Yuan’s characters, he still couldn’t help but praise. But immediately after, his complexion just darkened. ———–For others, perhaps it wasn’t anything, but in the eyes of an already heavily paranoid Emperor, it naturally just became a conspiracy.

After Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan knelt down and kowtowed to Le Cheng Emperor, it wasn’t like as before when Li Hong Yuan came to pay his respect, getting called to rise, nor was it that kind of mad spouting with the anger rising onto the surface, but rather looking down at them from high above. Of course, it was mainly still focused on Li Hong Yuan, secretly evaluating and sizing up.

Li Hong Yuan was never a good son that will just obediently endure if you don’t speak. Very bluntly meeting with Le Cheng Emperor’s line of sight, “Imperial father, if something’s the matter, just directly say it. This son brought one’s wife to serve you tea. If you’re unhappy or unwilling, just directly say it, we’ll just not hinder your eyes. In any case, it’s nothing more than the new daughter-in-law not to your liking, and when getting boasted a few words by others, always feeling a head lower than others, that’s all. At worst it’s just coming out less. Bringing before you now, yet giving this son an unsightly look and giving your new daughter-in-law no face, what did this count as?”

The people serving in the study, each and every one, all kept quiet out of fear, though Jing Wan who had her head lowered was rather pensive.

Speaking of which, facing this kind of son, Le Cheng Emperor seemingly just subconsciously weakened in anger somewhat. However, some things he still needed to ask clearly. “This emperor was just curious, old six, this handwriting of yours has rather improved at lightening speed lately. Even this emperor was unable to recognize anymore.”

Li Hong Yuan mockingly laughed, “Having nothing to do all day, it’s just practicing a bit of calligraphy, that’s all. Having practiced for more than ten years, if still without the least bit of improvement, then how stupid would one have to be? It’s nothing more than someone wishing for this son to be a bit stupider, yet imperial father really just treat this son as stupid? This son getting married, each and every one all just short of writing on their face ‘Li Hong Yuan isn’t worthy’, really think this son doesn’t have a temper?”

Jing Wan silently cursed. If you don’t have a temper, then supposedly all the people in the world were all sheep.

However, should say no wonder Jin Qinwang was someone capable of continuously leading Le Cheng Emperor by the nose, quietly gaining the upper hand just like that. Le Cheng Emperor’s anger weakened some more. Indeed, how bright was this son of his in his childhood, and precisely because he(LHY) made out his(emperor) thoughts, he just restrained himself. Look how obedient this son was. Even if his temper was a bit big, as an imperial prince, would one not have a bit of temper? This time, it was purely his self-esteem severely getting hurt, thus would angrily act out. This son getting excluded from inheriting the throne, in the end, was still caused by him. Thus, Le Cheng Emperor felt increasingly guilty, “My son has been wronged.”

Li Hong Yuan glanced at Le Cheng Emperor, his eyes carrying ridicule and disdain, “This son isn’t a three year old child. Just, this son’s wife’s tea, is imperial father going to drink or not?”

“Drink, drink, drink, how can one not drink, your wife’s tea, this emperor has waited for several years, once worrying that one might not be able to drink it.”

The attendant very perceptively had the prepared tea hastily sent before Jing Wan.

Jing Wan took the tea and deferentially raised it, “Imperial father, please have some tea.”

“Good, good, good.” Speaking of which, Le Cheng Emperor was very satisfied with Jing Wan. Of course, he definitely won’t feel his own son isn’t worthy of her. In his eyes, the son his most beloved woman gave birth to, no matter how worse, is still worthy of the best girl in the world. After the attendant had the tea present up, Le Cheng Emperor took a sip, “Old six’s wife, this emperor’s son, in the future, will just be handed over to you. This bastard is just a bit bad-tempered. In the future, must pardon him more.”

Jing Wan pursed her lips into a smile, “Wangye is very good.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” That’s why, humans were precisely this way. One’s own child, can randomly scold, randomly mock, even randomly hit, but if others say they’re ‘not good’, one certainly will be unhappy. But if others say ‘good’, one will just feel immensely pleased, giving a pile of bestowments. Shortly after, Le Cheng Emperor spun his eyes, as if nonchalantly opening his mouth, “Since old six has already married, in the future, shouldn’t one start handling assignments properly and share the burden for this emperor?”

(T/N: Le Cheng Emperor really couldn’t be more subtle on trying to test LHY lmaoooo)

Li Hong Yuan’s heart endlessly sneered. No matter how pleasantly said with his mouth, his heart was still uneasy. “There are plenty of brothers sharing the burden for imperial father, this son is used to being lazy, afraid can’t help imperial father share the burden, and might even cause trouble.”

“My son is actually unduly humble.”

“This son feels it’s bothersome, too impatient to work, alright?”

Le Cheng Emperor felt helpless, “Oh you, this emperor really doesn’t know what to say about you. Since that’s the case, then just forget it.”

Jing Wan can be considered to have finally understood, this imperial father, towards her husband, in a certain sense, was actually the same as Noble Consort Su. Towards this son, they themselves believe to be treating like treasure, and in outsiders’ eyes, also a treasure, but in Jing Wan’s eyes, no different than a blade of grass. They both deprived him of the most important things, and afterwards, carried out their so called compensation. On one side, giving a sweet date, yet on the other side, ruthlessly beating to death with a club. With that kind of heart penetrating pain, it would’ve been better to not give anything at all. After all, without obtaining the sweet, there won’t be the pain of losing either. Without the emotional investment, one won’t become wounded all over.

One can’t blame her husband for becoming the living Enma, and one can’t blame her husband for becoming black-hearted, it was all forced by them! Yet the ones that had him forced to this degree didn’t have the slightest awareness, even bitterly lamenting that he grew crooked.

On the way to the inner palace, Jing Wan voluntarily held Li Hong Yuan’s hand, softly whispering, “If wangye doesn’t turn one’s back, in this life, never will one part.”

Li Hong Yuan inwardly laughed. This was getting sympathized by Wan Wan? However, “Wan Wan is also a selfish one, still having a condition for not leaving me, why wasn’t it regardless of what, towards this prince, all won’t abandon or leave?”

“Then, really will make wangye disappointed.”

“Wan Wan, this temper of yours sometimes really won’t do. Some words can’t be said. Once said, it won’t benefit you in any way. Those words just now, if switched with someone else, from here on, you most likely will have to guard an empty room alone.”

“Then, will wangye do this?” Jing Wan fixedly stared at him.

“No.”

“That’s why saying in front of wangye doesn’t matter. I believe in wangye.”

Li Hong Yuan softly chuckled. That’s why, Wan Wan was always able to easily control his feelings. However, two lifetimes, both falling head first into her hands, yet he was happily willing to endure hardship. He leaned over, landing a light kiss on her lips.

Clearly knowing the setting wasn’t right, yet this time, Jing Wan didn’t avoid. In fact, she didn’t even look around to see whether or not someone saw.
