Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 543.2: Too Sweet, Something Wrong

The fifth princess had married, and the remaining princesses, although because of their respective consort mothers, their status also having differences, but the disparity wasn’t very big. However, no matter how small, a disparity was still a disparity. Despite similarly not being favored, the imperial concubines and the little noble concubines below still had absolute differences.

The sixth princess’s mother and seventh princess’s mother were both consorts of the imperial concubine rank. Without the fifth princess suppressing———-Of course, right now with Noble Consort Su’s downfall and Rui Qinwang getting reduced to a commoner, even if the fifth princess was still in the palace, it was still impossible for her to press down the other princesses. Right now, among the princesses, it was just these two as the lead, each having their own little followers. The ones that fought were them, but the cause was on their little followers.

It was merely the little princesses below fighting over two fruit lanterns, that’s all.

Grapefruit lantern, pumpkin lantern, watermelon lantern, tangerine lantern, apple lantern and such, among the commoners, they were relatively prevalent. However, in the upper class large families, it was very rare. The reason why the Luo family would have them, it was also because Luo Pei Shan didn’t mind, just giving to the younger generation to play with, but many high officials and nobles very much minded, believing it to be unbefitting of their status. Those things were viewed as something only the poor would play with.

One of the princesses’ mother was born from a small family, having gotten selected to send to the imperial summer residence by the people below. Afterwards, after getting fancied by Le Cheng Emperor, she was brought back to the palace. Those fruit lanterns were her happy memories from childhood, thus momentarily on a whim, just personally made two for her daughter to play with. Moreover, she was skilled with her hands, the lanterns made sufficiently exquisite.

The things common among the people were rare in the palace, because not having seen before.

Just look at how it attracted the others’ ‘desire to possess’. But, right after snatching over, they just had the other party’s ‘boss sister’ drawn over.

The sixth princess slapped the little princess that stole the lanterns, “At such a small age, not learning anything good, is this just how your consort mother taught you?” Speaking of which, it wasn’t necessarily for the sake of standing up for her little follower. It was purely just, the person under her protection getting bullied, where would her face go? Especially since the other party was even ‘inseparably close’ with her rival.

Just a little girl, so getting hit, certainly would just cry. Moreover, as someone born in the imperial palace, which one wasn’t sophisticated. Don’t look at how she was young, her destructive power absolutely won’t be small, and moreover, she was deeply well versed in the essences of ‘a child that knows how to cry will have candy’.

See, as soon as she cried, someone just came to back her.

In seventh princess’s eyes, this good older sister wasn’t hitting her little follower, but rather her face. Thus, the flames of anger just shot up, and after arguing a few words, just directly started tearing one another.

Although they already got pulled apart by the palace servants first thing, it still brought about this current situation.

“Being young is just good, really energetic.” Jing Wan rather ruefully said.

“Judging from Wan Wan’s meaning, it’s believing to be old?” Li Hong Yuan’s gaze was a bit serene.

“Indeed, the heart is old.” It was obvious, Jing Wan completely didn’t notice her own husband’s change.

“Based on Wan Wan’s words, comparing physically, this husband is eight years older than you, but comparing mentally……..Heh……..”

This meaningful ‘heh’ made the IQ somewhat ‘damaged’ Jing Wan instantly come to realization, quivering. In her past life, she had died at twenty some, but this one by her side had died around forty. Moreover, experience was the most important factor that determined a person’s maturity level. She had quite a bit of experiences, but the other party? His life experiences were probably even more rich than a seventy eighty or even older person. Counting like this, she was practically just a little sprout.

TN: All

“Wan Wan is disdaining this husband for being old?” Li Hong Yuan seemingly was a bit lonely and a bit hurt.

Jing Wan wanted to violently curse, alright! This sad look practically made one even more unable to endure than when he acted up. Because even if acting up, her mental state has already gone through thousands of training, her ability to withstand powerful. Right now, to suddenly change styles, it was very strange, alright! Others didn’t matter, but the snake disease patient living Enma suddenly doing this, it would just make one’s heart shake for no reason, the signs of an approaching storm.

Seeing Jing Wan nervously looking at him, like facing a great foe, Li Hong Yuan hooked his lips into a smile, just like that magnificent and elegant purple peony blossoming, can’t be more bewitching.

Li Hong Yuan lifted his hand, his finger lightly caressing Jing Wan’s face, “This husband right now can’t do anything to you, but we can record it in the account book and slowly settle in the future.”

“How many strokes have you recorded in your account book?” Jing Wan subconsciously asked.

“Wan Wan wants to know? This husband can count for you stroke by stroke. Three times a day all won’t be a problem.”

“No need.” Jing Wan immediately refused. Counting how many ‘blades’ were hanging above her head, wasn’t that just looking to suffer?

Li Hong Yuan revealed a slightly regretful expression, missing out on an opportunity to record another brush.

The two of them although had their voices deliberately lowered from beginning to end, also not having any very intimate movements, and the majority of the people’s attention were also on the two ‘formidable’ princesses, but there were still people that noticed them.

———Bastard, is there a need to this arrogantly flirt in public? This is deliberately wanting to make people jealous, or jealous, or jealous?! Alright, you win! That atmosphere clearly was sweet to the throat, the sour bubbles rising in their hearts. Jin Wangfei sure enough had cultivated eight lifetimes of good fortune? Then, what about them? Was it having committed eight lifetimes of sin?

The sisters getting into a fight, ordinary imperial consorts weren’t able to interfere, and the elders that were able to intervene all weren’t present. Then, it was just their older brother or sister-in-law stepping in. However, the two of them both didn’t have a full-blooded older brother, and the others, from the looks of it, weren’t really that willing to deal with. After all, this kind of thing, if not handled well, that was just unable to gain favor, instead attracting trouble.

The sixth princess’s mother and the seventh princess’s mother, although weren’t that favored, but their maiden family ultimately still had a bit of power. No one was willing to erect an additional enemy at this time for no reason.

The sixth princess and seventh princess clearly still had residual anger, simply not considering the consequences. With no one saying anything, it seems they were about to grab one another again.

Sure enough, in the next moment, they just struggled free from the palace servants pulling them, throwing themselves at the other.

“This is even getting addicted to fighting?” Li Hong Yuan opened his mouth with a slightly chilly tone.

The two that were locked together immediately broke apart, alarmingly looking towards the source of the sound. Sure enough, it was sixth imperial brother. Their faces both turned pale.

Jing Wan knew that her own husband’s intimidation power towards many people was all very strong, but for these princesses to be scared like this, it seemingly was just a bit unreasonable. Could it be that this old cucumber covered in fresh green paint even sorted out these little girls before? Think about it, if he really did, then that was also before he’d left the palace. That would be eight nine years ago. The sixth and seventh princess at the time were merely few year old little beansprouts. This man really was able to sort them out?

Li Hong Yuan glanced at Jing Wan, very clear as to what she was thinking, squeezing her hand. In his wife’s heart, was he really someone this lacking in class? Truthfully speaking, for these people to be scared of him, especially the even younger bunch, nine times out of ten it was because when they were disobedient, their own mothers would use his name to scare them. Over time, didn’t it precisely become a conditioned fear. Aside from this, he really wasn’t able to think of another possibility. After all, towards these younger brothers and sisters, Li Hong Yuan completely wasn’t able to tell who was who, their interactions practically zero.

“Have the four of them all taken back, confined for six months, forfeiting their salary for half a year. Then, invite two etiquette mamas for these two, properly teaching them the rules.” Li Hong Yuan indifferently said.

He also didn’t ask whether or not the little girl that had gotten her things stolen initially was innocent. Li Hong Yuan wasn’t in the mood to be just and fair.

Once these words came out, the four princesses all trembled in fear, but not a single one opened their mouth to plea. The two little ones even stifled their voice, not daring to loudly cry again.

They all got sent back by their respective palace servants. The others looked to Jin Qinwang, and then continued on with what they were doing before.

Others didn’t want to offend people, but Jin Qinwang completely didn’t fear.

Once the people all dispersed, Jing Wan poked Li Hong Yuan’s waist, “Our Jin Qinwang even have the ability to stop babies’ night tantrums?” Jing Wan, who had been slow to react, clearly already figured out everything, somewhat teasing.

“Once the little bastard in your stomach is born, Wan Wan can personally witness whether or not this husband has that effect.”

Jing Wan once again lit a candle for the child in her stomach. Being Li Hong Yuan’s child absolutely was a very miserable matter.

“I remember that year when I’d first entered the capital, the younger brothers and sisters at home also got into a fight over lanterns. However, the elders all just merrily watched the excitement from the side. And those little ones, after fighting, went back to wash up, and immediately after just reconciled.”

(T/N: Referring to the great winter melon lantern war in chapter 217.)

“For all things, don’t compare with the imperial family.”

Jing Wan laughed. Indeed, the more one compared, the more gloomy. In the inner palace, there weren’t many true innocence.

Not long after, the main imperial consorts of the imperial harem appeared. From the looks of it, it was preparing to worship the moon.

Just, not only did the empress appear, Noble Consort Su also appeared. Jing Wan truly was surprised.

However, the empress still appeared sickly. It couldn’t be helped. The repercussion of the revive drug at the time was too strong. For her to still be alive, it actually was already a miracle. And Noble Consort Su, although got confined in Yucui Palace by Le Cheng Emperor, in the end, an explicit decree wasn’t issued.

No one knew why Le Cheng Emperor suddenly allowed her to come out today.

However, among them, it seems only Shu Consort Qin didn’t have any changes. Aside from her, even Xian Consort Wei appeared to be greatly different from when they first met. This was merely just a short amount of time. If not for the fact that their identity was displayed there, afraid it was simply impossible to have the current them linked with the former them.

The imperial palace, sure enough, was a place that nurtured people the most, and also wore down people the most.

When favored, one can be bright and charming, but to lose favor, it was like falling into the dust.

When everything was in order, Jing Wan just prepared to go over and worship the moon together with the others.

Li Hong Yuan directly stopped her, “No need.”

“En?” Jing Wan was somewhat confused. Even if Noble Consort Su was present, in public under numerous eyes, she also didn’t dare to do anything, right? Moreover, she can take Gong mama with her. The others also knew she was special right now, so won’t go near her for no reason.

“Tonight’s situation is a bit off. Wan Wan, don’t leave my side.”
