Chapter 396: Having Married Me, Naturally It’s Following Me
Jing Wan just wanted to seal a certain someone’s mouth. This was not only pulling in animosity for oneself, but also pulling in hate for her?
And at this time, Noble Consort Su also opened her mouth, “Yuan’er, what nonsense are you saying, thinking everyone is all like you, doing disgraceful things all day long. Although your wangfei isn’t born from a prestigious noble family, she’s still from a scholarly family, having bearing in her speech and conduct, magnanimous and appropriate, further being deeply influenced by her grandparents. That is the modeled example of propriety and etiquette. You need to properly learned from her.”
These words sounded like she was completely just praising Jing Wan, but in reality? Noble Consort Su can be considered to know Jing Wan’s true nature, so saying these words, it was completely just having Jing Wan raised high. As the saying goes, the higher and the more wonderful one’s image, the greater the backlash and criticism once a mistake is made. In reality, Noble Consort Su was precisely just using her usual method. To put it bluntly, it was just the same method as the one used on Rui Wangfei, chaining shackles on the body, making one unable to do as one pleases no matter the situation.
However, there really weren’t many that were able to make out this bit. Aside from Rui Wangfei who deeply suffered from it, as well as Rui Qinwang who had quite the understanding towards his own consort mother, Li Hong Yuan naturally also very deeply understood this bit of tricks. Jing Wan very rarely came in contact with her, but her understanding towards her wasn’t little. Moreover, as the person getting targeted, how can she not feel anything?
Apart from this, there was just Shu Consort Qin that deeply understood this bit. She intentionally or otherwise glanced at Noble Consort Su. An incomprehensible emotion quickly streaked across her eyes.
Jing Wan just lightly smiled, but didn’t say anything. After all, Noble Consort Su was speaking to Li Hong Yuan. It wasn’t good for her to rashly interrupt.
Li Hong Yuan rather calmly faced Noble Consort Su’s gaze, “Consort mother sure enough likes Li Hong Ming, that kind of elegant and modest gentleman. If consort mother has the same expectations towards this son, then consort mother will bound to be disappointed. If this son is able to learn, then would’ve long learned, and wouldn’t need to wait until this day.”
Noble Consort Su didn’t expect that her one line would touch upon her son’s ‘sensitive’ nerve again. She was merely doing it out of habit, using her usual methods on Jing Wan. Her intentions were on Jing Wan and not her son. Moreover, she was also used to discipling her sons. Her two sons, since childhood, were both disciplined like this. When in the wrong, it was either lecturing or punishing as needed. She has never felt there was anything wrong with this, but ever since the matter last time, this kind of structure just got shattered. Towards this son, she all needed to be careful with her words. Just now, she was momentarily careless. “Consort mother didn’t mean this…………..” If not for considering the current setting, Noble Consort Su would’ve nearly lost her bearings.
“Women after marrying follow the husband. How Luo-shi was in the past doesn’t matter. Since she has married me, then naturally it’s just following me.”
Noble Consort Su strangely felt as if she’d picked up a rock to smash her own foot.
Without a doubt, Jing Wan practically was just having gotten ‘forced’ to become ‘corrupt’ like the living Enma. If not being arrogant and aggressive, but rather maintaining an upright and honorable character, then wasn’t that just taking a different position from one’s own husband? Who was Jin Qinwang? The living Enma! To go against him, was it like the god of longevity hanging himself in disdain of his long life?!
Jing Wan held back her laughter. This was practically just putting on her a big halo of ‘being arrogant by her husband’s order’. In the future, becoming increasingly arrogant and aggressive was all naturally so. Moreover, the Luo family won’t get implicated at all. After all, prior to Jing Wan marrying, although her reputation wasn’t prominent, it was still pretty good. The elders especially liked her.
That’s why, the living Enma protecting his wife, truly was too powerful.
“Consort mother really didn’t meant that, just……….sigh………..”
“Enough, don’t talk about these mood ruining matters.” Le Cheng Emperor faintly opened his mouth.
That look of wishing to say something but hesitating, yet also seemingly carrying distress on Noble Consort Su’s face instantly froze in place. Fortunately, she contained it quickly, else it would certainly be very entertaining.
Tonight, Jing Wan nearly almost failed to hold back and laughed out loud. Le Cheng Emperor although was a human degenerate, because of Li Hong Yuan’s years of deliberate manipulation, towards Li Hong Yuan, he was indeed bias to no end. Towards him, Li Hong Yuan constantly ignored, yet he insisted on throwing himself forward to get bullied. His other sons racked their brains to think of ways to win his favor, yet would get said to be harboring ulterior motives, and upon making a mistake, they would definitely get ruthlessly scolded. Perhaps he won’t do anything to them, but he would definitely more or less trim their wings. And for Li Hong Yuan? Even if Le Cheng Emperor frequently got angered into a storm by him, it was still merely just the thunder loud, but the rain light. Even if it was Noble Consort Su, Le Cheng Emperor clearly still leaned towards his son. Speaking from this bit, Le Cheng Emperor often times was all a godly assistant.
The atmosphere momentarily became strange, but fortunately it returned to normal again. However, everything afterwards all appeared very dull. Unknown as to whether it was because Noble Consort Su’s ‘disdain’ had made him ‘heartbroken’ again, this kind of sadness just strangely turned into anger, and Li Hong Yuan vented it out on others. If anyone were to say more than a few words, he would just coldly throw out the word ‘noisy’.
Le Cheng Emperor just pretended to not hear, neither questioning nor asking. That’s why, the people below could only just obediently shut their mouth.
Actually, Le Cheng Emperor was still quite glad inside that this bastard didn’t directly storm off, else it would more or less make his lose his might in front of the other countries’ emissaries.
Because there was Li Hong Yuan ‘disrupting things’, it seems that certain people that wanted to achieve certain goals in the end all left things unsettled.
This welcoming banquet also just dully went by like that.
The only out of the ordinary matter was probably just someone’s heart falling in disarray. When leaving the palace, Jing Wan glanced at the Princess Yi Ning who’d been repeatedly peeping at Li Hong Yuan. Just, because of the setting, she was still quite reserved. As long as one doesn’t deliberately pay attention to her, one for the most part won’t notice. However, this kind of thing, as the ‘person involved’, one practically can’t be too sensitive. Jing Wan thought to herself, she’d really guessed right. This person really did start eyeing a certain someone. This was the true country ruining demoness. Just, hope that this Princess Yi Ning’s brain is still considered clear-headed, and don’t do something muddled. Jing Wan believed that for some things, she definitely won’t be lenient either.
And in the following days, Li Hong Yuan, with the excuse of ‘He Shi Hai was truly too weak, that fist just like cotton’, vigorously trained him to death.
Once He Shi Hai actually starts fighting, he was just one that fought based on his instinct. What Li Hong Yuan needed to do now was just have this bit ruthlessly straightened out. This really wasn’t something that can be completed overnight. However, once He Shi Hai gets used to using his brain in a fight, combining with that powerful beast-like instinct of his, things such as troop formation and positioning, the art of war and military tactics, he perhaps all didn’t need to deliberately go learn, instead just able to master without a teacher. And this kind of person, once they ‘graduate’, generally won’t walk the ‘proper path’, instead taking the unusual route.
Meanwhile, the other countries’ emissaries also successively arrived. And these people, their culture and background very much differed from Qi Yuan’s, so in many aspects, there will certainly be many differences. The most obvious that was displayed on the outside was naturally just the clothes. It can be said to be a myriad of colors, letting the common people all see something rare.
The welcoming banquets continued, but naturally it was completely different from the first one. Even if there were women present, there was no longer special treatment.
