Realization, Gloomy, Poison Tongue (1)
“Tonight’s situation is a bit off. Wan Wan, don’t leave my side.”
Li Hong Yuan said it rather solemnly. Jing Wan naturally listened to him, “What’s wrong?”
“Temporarily don’t know, just doesn’t feel right.”
Intuition, this kind of thing, was a mystery within a mystery. However, Jing Wan recalled those things he experienced, and moreover, even if setting aside this bit, she would still chose to unconditionally trust him. That’s why, when the others all went towards the temporarily built moon worshiping altar, Jing Wan still stood by Li Hong Yuan’s side, not moving.
The others all took in, but didn’t say anything. That was the living Enma. Right now, his position in his Majesty’s heart has risen another level, absolutely unsurpassable by others. To put it unpleasantly, even his Majesty himself was all about to have him worshiped like an ancestor. The others couldn’t afford to offend. His wife right now was precious, so naturally it is whatever he says it is.
Quite a few people all mockingly thought, same as people but different fates. What can they do, who let them not be the Imperial Noble Consort’s offspring.
Jing Wan didn’t bat an eye, but in her view, certain people afraid were mocking her husband in their hearts. At twenty-five, to finally somewhat have a descendant after great difficulty, it naturally was being careful and cautious everywhere. Once reckless and daring, but now timid like a mouse.
Jing Wan lowered her eyes, to say it unpleasantly, if something were to happen to her, to the extent of having a miscarriage, this man probably won’t even furrow a single brow for the child. His anger would only be because she got hurt.
Because of this kind of deep feelings, Jing Wan occasionally was actually a bit fearful, because she worried that she wasn’t able to give the other party an equal amount of love, even though love can’t be measured. When uncertain, it was worrying about the personal gains and losses, but to still have small problems even after obtaining everything, Jing Wan sometimes even spurned herself. Because he didn’t need her to do anything, that’s why, Jing Wan also didn’t know how far she can go for him, but she will wholeheartedly go love him.
However, this actually also just faced a problem. Because she had obtained the best, the most complete, if one day, the person that gave her this love wanted to have it taken back, or perhaps let it become shattered, then no matter who, afraid will all go crazy. That’s why, if it really comes to this, then Jing Wan most likely really will kill him.
Similarly, Jing Wan absolutely won’t allow others to insert a foot. Whoever tries to ruin, she will just kill.
Jing Wan suddenly turned and looked towards her own husband. In this moment, she suddenly understood.
“What?” Li Hong Yuan was slightly confused.
Jing Wan shook her head.
———-She just suddenly understood, why her husband would have that great of hostility towards Chen Zheng Min and Sun Yi Lin, practically wanting to directly kill them. Because they have feelings for her, coveting her, even if inherently, they didn’t have any threat, he was still unable to tolerate.
Just like for example, if certain outstanding young ladies were to have deep feelings towards her husband, unable to forget, her reaction certainly won’t be any better. The most typical case was just Ruan Fang Fei.
Just, when she and her husband married, Ruan Fang Fei was already thoroughly gone. And at the time, she also hadn’t exchanged feelings with him, so her hatred towards Ruan Fang Fei directly came from her scheming against her and the Luo family. That’s why, in this aspect, she didn’t have too deep of a stirring.
TN: All
And the others that coveted her husband, all carried very strong ulterior motives. The ones that genuinely went for him as a person, for the most part, didn’t exist. And his love towards her, gave her strong confidence. At the time, perhaps she didn’t realize, but she actually never really had them taken seriously, because none were going for him as a person, instead going for the materialistic benefits that he can bring them. That’s why, it didn’t arouse her guard. If Ruan Fang Fei still exists now, even if no longer single, Jing Wan probably will still want to kill her.
Not liking love rivals, it wasn’t because of not trusting the other party, and also not because the love rival might cause trouble, having a threat, but rather because someone thinking of one’s person would make one unable to tolerate.
This kind of crazy possessive desire wasn’t the so called, ‘what belongs to me, others can’t touch’, but rather because loving to the bones, just aimed at one person. Towards any other thing or matter, there all wasn’t this kind of feeling.
Jing Wan suddenly started laughing, carrying a bit of realization, carrying a bit of indescribable happiness.
Based on her husband’s position and status, in the future, she will certainly still have love rivals. Jing Wan believed, when time comes, without even needing her husband to ‘force’ her, she will still voluntarily go take care of, having everything strangled to death in the cradle. Even if not killing, she will still let them clearly know, if dare to come, then will need to have the resolution to lose one’s life.
Even if it will ruin her reputation, so what? Compared to her husband, reputation simply wasn’t worth mentioning.
“This is becoming stupid today?” Li Hong Yuan reached out and pinched her cheeks.
“Even if stupid, you still need to treasure for a lifetime.” Jing Wan very bluntly stated.
Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled, not knowing what his wife had thought through, the feeling seemingly a bit different.
He, Li Hong Yuan, was never someone that just put forward and never ask for anything in return. However strong his love, his wife needed to return however much care. To this day, he was still waiting. Just, what he didn’t know was that this thought actually got realized in this moment. However, because Jing Wan didn’t say anything, he probably will have to wait until the next time Jing Wan makes a move to find out.
After the moon worship was finished, Le Cheng Emperor also finally arrived.
Shortly after, the empress took charge of dividing the mooncake. However, her body was lacking, getting supported during the entire process. Speaking of which, it was also a kind of sorrow. Think of the past, her plans, her ambitions, without a healthy body, everything all became empty talks.
Cutting the mooncake, it was Shu Consort Qin taking up the knife.
The prepared mooncake was also sufficiently big, the amount also numerous, but the emperor’s entire family, wasn’t it precisely ‘prosperous’. That’s why, what was divided down in the end was also just a small piece, gone in two three bites.
Jing Wan felt the taste was still pretty good. The banquets in the palace weren’t that great, but it didn’t mean that the imperial chefs’ skills were just very bad. In a certain sense, because there were too many rules, and the imperial kitchen was also relatively far away, for many things, by the time it arrives, it already wasn’t that taste. The imperial kitchen was also powerless.
However, for mooncakes and such, it wasn’t the case.
That’s why, of the people that were rewarded the most frequently in the imperial kitchen, the pastry masters occupied the greatest proportion.
Le Cheng Emperor’s mood today seemingly was still considered pretty good, not too strictly adhering to appearances and etiquette, so one didn’t necessarily need to sit at one’s designated seat. Even for the imperial consorts, he also didn’t mind letting them sit together with their children. This, for many people, was an enormous honor, especially for the low ranking imperial consorts. They were only able to show their faces during the emperor’s family banquet. If switched with a formal setting, there simply wasn’t any place for them. The opportunity to sit together with their children was also only in their own palace, even needing to put their child first. And if Le Cheng Emperor is present, then they further can only be the one serving during the meal.
Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan’s table still just had the two of them, not having a consort mother above, and the child below was still in the stomach, so not that lively, yet the two of them very much enjoyed their time.
Jing Wan lifted her head to look at the sky. There was a thin layer of clouds tonight, but in this moment, it still didn’t cover up the radiance of that full moon hanging in the sky. The stars in the surrounding were scattered, like large and small pearls scattered around a jade plate.
“Tonight is also a pretty good night to admire the moon.” Jing Wan softly said.
Li Hong Yuan casted her a glance, agreeing in response. Whether the moon was pretty or not, he wasn’t interested. He was just agreeing to his wife’s words.
And right at this time, the chief eunuch by Le Cheng Emperor’s side walked over, “Wangye, wangfei, his Majesty lets the two of you move to the imperial table.” His voice was neither light nor heavy, his attitude very deferential.
Because of Noble Consort Su’s ‘big reveal’, Li Hong Yuan’s attitude towards Le Cheng Emperor, to this day, was still not that great, even though he has been ‘rebellious’ since ‘childhood’, consistently going against Le Cheng Emperor. “Not going.”
That chief eunuch’s expression stiffened, inwardly calling Li Hong Yuan ancestor.
Jing Wan smiled, “No matter sitting where, it’s all the same. Wangye going to drink wine with imperial father is only natural.”
The chief eunuch just wanted to kneel down and give Jing Wan a kowtow. Jin Wangfei truly was too kind and considerate.
Li Hong Yuan glanced at her, slowly getting up, seemingly compromising.
This couple, one played the good, one played the bad. This double act was also very well coordinated.
Li Hong Yuan’s rather half-hearted greeting still made Le Cheng Emperor’s old face smile like a flower.
Having the ‘lesson’ from the last Dragon Boat Festival, Le Cheng Emperor this time was much more amiable towards Jing Wan. Of course, it was also because Jing Wan was pregnant, and the Imperial Noble Consort had also added for her a ‘protective charm’.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t speak, so Jing Wan just smilingly chatted with Le Cheng Emperor. Perhaps really in a good mood, even if Jing Wan didn’t say anything amusing, Le Cheng Emperor was still able to heartily laugh, making others repeatedly side-glance.
In their eyes, the so called bestowment was also nothing more than an excuse to have Li Hong Yuan called to the imperial table, appearing just like as if the three of them were a true family, and everyone else were all extras. Thus, the originally good mood naturally just dulled.
Especially Noble Consort Su, she clearly had a son and grandchildren, yet in the end, she was the same as those imperial consorts that didn’t have children, all alone on her own.
Lowering her head, as if dejectedly drinking wine, but in reality, it was just covering up the dense hatred in her eyes that was all about to congeal.
She had schemed and calculated that much, yet in the end, Li Hong Yuan, this lowly spawn, unexpectedly was also that lucky, letting his wife get pregnant. And her most outstanding son, the heavens gave him luck, yet it wasn’t complete, still giving birth to a useless girl, and even because of this matter, got reduced to a commoner. She had put in that much effort, her hands tainted with that much blood, yet in the end, ended up like this now, so how can she not hate and resent. That’s why, that mask that has been worn for several decades, the mask that practically grew together with the face, finally got completely torn down, to the extent that right now, she all didn’t dare to look at people directly. Because just a glance was enough to make her leak out her truest feelings inside.
However, based on Li Hong Yuan’s keenness, he more or less still detected Noble Consort Su’s mood. Just, he didn’t care, not even sparing a glance.
