Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 606.1: True Nature Exposing

True Nature Exposing (1)

Even though Li Hong Yuan has returned, in these last few New Years, Jing Wan has all bestowed down quite a few things. Li Hong Yuan didn’t plan on changing this custom of hers.

In fact, perhaps because they’d integrated Southern Qi into Qi Yuan, towards the bestowments, Li Hong Yuan even added a bit more. It couldn’t be helped, he has always been a generous master. Besides, Southern Qi was a country that even surpassed Qi Yuan, so the good things absolutely weren’t few, all getting ruthlessly plundered by Li Hong Yuan. Right now, the state treasury practically can’t be more abundant, and the rare treasures more or less all entered his private storehouse, and because there were too many, it seemingly appeared to be just that.

Every time this private storehouse opened, Jing Wan would always momentarily fall silent. Although jade cabbages certainly won’t be as numerous as plain white cabbages, but truthfully speaking, in this lifetime of hers, she really has seen more jade cabbages than plain white cabbages————Of course, the ones that appear on the dining table that have already become dishes don’t count. Having been born in the Luo family, she for the most part has never been in the kitchen before, and ever since marrying, that further didn’t need to be mentioned. Without any reason, who would specifically go look at white cabbages, and who would specifically bring it before her?

That’s why, this jade cabbage, in a certain sense, really just became that plain white cabbage.

Aiyaa, to be this rich, does it mean that she can just be as extravagant as she wants? Just thinking about, one can’t feel more pleased.

Turning back, the storehouse doors closed, and the things in this storehouse also just got forgotten beyond the clouds.

On the first of the new year, the palace arranged a banquet as usual. Jing Wan, this year, just needed to receive the titled madams. In the previous few years when Li Hong Yuan was gone, these titled madams were all taken care of by Consort Dowager Qin.

As for the Luo family, the generation above were all still in Qi’an Fu observing mourning for Luo Old Madam, and in the same generation, there was just her older and younger sister-in-laws.

At the time, because of Luo Old Madam’s situation, for the sake of not holding up the grandchildren’s marriage arrangements, after Luo Pei Shan decided on the marriage arrangements for the grandchildren of marriageable age, the wedding arrangements were all handled within a short amount of time. Although sudden, he didn’t let them be wronged either. Jing Wan even specially bestowed down quite a few things. Even though the grandchildren only need to observe mourning for one year, but without the elders presiding over, it also wasn’t too good. And among these people, Sun Yi Jia was still at Qi’an Fu, probably needing to wait until this year when the elders’ mourning period ends before coming back together.

The high-ranking noble madams weren’t few, so Jing Wan naturally wasn’t able to attend to the few from her maiden family. However, because of Jing Wan, no one dared to slight them either. The high-ranking madams perhaps won’t voluntarily go forward, but their daughter-in-laws or granddaughter-in-laws didn’t have that many misgivings.

Jing Wan was the central palace empress, and moreover, the imperial harem only had her alone. Her only son got conferred as the crown prince at birth, and now, he has also left the boudoir and started his schooling, once again confirming the little crown prince’s firm status. Jing Wan can be considered to have the favor of ten thousand in one. As long as one’s brain didn’t have problems, then one absolutely won’t try to be on bad terms with the Luo family. Even if once having some grudges, it was also trying to fix the relationship as much as possible. Even if unable to fix, they also won’t continue to go cause trouble.

A single person ascending, the chickens and dogs rising along with, this line wasn’t just said for fun. Even though Luo Pei Shan has always asked them to conduct themselves in a low-key manner, but when getting fawned over by everyone, that smile was still exceptionally bright.

The Luo family’s next generation was still continuing to increase, and because those brothers of Jing Wan’s side were all clean, so far, only her eldest tang brother has a shu son. The rest were all di-born. Without those dirty matters, the odds of a child being born safely will just become higher.

Regardless how many are born, even if not that outstanding in the future, they for the most part will still have no worries towards food and clothing. For people, there was the saying of ‘more children, more fortune’. That’s why, if able to give birth, then it was just vigorously giving birth. In any case, it’s not like they can’t afford to raise. ——-Jing Wan inwardly sighed as such.

And for the women that married into the Luo family, getting fawned over as such wasn’t just because of Jing Wan either. It was also because they were truly too blessed. The mother-in-law above all weren’t harsh, their husband’s side didn’t have others, and between the zhoulis, there also wasn’t anything to compete against, each also all having a son. In a woman’s lifetime, to be able to reach this level, don’t know how many lifetimes’ good fortune they have cultivated.

That’s why, there were just too many women that wanted to use every means possible to marry into the Luo family. Even if marrying down, they were all willing. Unfortunately, Luo Pei Shan has never thought of wanting to make marriage ties with the high nobles. To think that one day they would actually get rejected because their birth was too high. For the girls of the high upper class families that received this answer, don’t know how many broke down.

Towards the elderly titled madams, Jing Wan particularly looked after, and the children also had a place to play.

TN: All

Because of being this considerate and attentive, in addition to her deeds and conduct all benefiting the country during her time overseeing the governmental affairs, Jing Wan got praised as a virtuous empress by many.

Virtuous empress? Whether or not this label will get removed, Jing Wan didn’t know, but since a certain someone has returned, the matter of ‘selecting candidates to fill the imperial harem’ most likely will get mentioned. When time comes, she might very likely get pinned as a ‘jealous empress’. Sure enough, a person’s life can’t be completely perfect. When it comes to her, the dissatisfying matters although not many, there’s still one or two.

Sometimes, it was just thinking about it, afterwards stopping. To be living like her, yet still be displeased, Jing Wan felt that she would probably get beaten up. That was purely looking for trouble for no reason, groaning about a nonexistent illness.

After the first of the new year, all the way until the fifteenth of the first month, the palace was all relatively quiet. And on the fifteenth’s lantern festival, Li Hong Yuan took Jing Wan and the little crown prince out to the lantern festival. Of course, in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, there was just Jing Wan. The little crown prince was just an accessory his wife requested to bring along.

Although they can’t be like in the past, mingling among the crowd, but when in a different position, the scenery that can be seen was also different.

In the past few years, Jing Wan never once left the palace under this kind of circumstance, and there wasn’t anyone by her side to admire the lanterns with. Her son at the time was still small.

This can be considered the little crown prince’s second time leaving the palace. The last time, it was because of Luo Old Madam’s passing, and the place he went was also completely different, so it didn’t count. Also, because he was small, he didn’t understand anything either. However, at present, he was in high spirits, unable to sit still inside the Thousand Lantern Pavilion. Thus, Jing Wan just let him go down to play, letting the palace servants and imperial guards look after him.

Jing Wan although was a woman, but she has sat upon the throne for several years already, so there was no need to avoid the court officials, sitting together with Li Hong Yuan.

The little crown prince naturally was happy, but he still carefully peeked at his imperial father, yet in the end, his imperial father didn’t even spare him a glance.

Jing Wan laughed. This little guy still doesn’t know that the source of conflict between him and his father was her, this mother. Whether or not he wanted to go play had nothing to do with her, so his old man naturally didn’t care. This ‘cruel’ reality, it’s better for him to discover on his own when he’s a bit older.

The little crown prince right now had plenty of friends. If he wanted to look for people, he naturally just needed to open his mouth and give the order.

Not long after, a dozen or so people just gathered. For those that were worried about their family’s child, they just sent quite a few servants, some even following over themselves. And for those that were at ease, it was just sending one or two people. When all gathered together, it truly was a sight to behold.

This was the crown prince’s first time having all his little friends gathered together. For a moment, he couldn’t be more excited, waving his hand, “Let’s go.”

That stance wasn’t like the king of children, but rather like the head of a bunch of bandits.

Hearing Mu An come back and report the matters below, Jing Wan just listened a little and laughed it off.

However, for those court officials, some just felt a bit uneasy. Their family’s child has also gone in and out of the imperial palace for more than three years. Every time, it was also just two people following, yet they have never seen a problem occur in the palace. However, the women at home were still worried about this and that all day long. No matter how precious their child was can they compare with the crown prince? Yet, one didn’t see her Highness have the person grasped in the palm all day long. At this time, with this many people, it goes without saying that her Highness will send people to take care of properly. Never mind sending servants, for you to even follow along yourself, what is the meaning of this? This is questioning her Highness, or not trusting her Highness? The crown prince has left the boudoir and started his schooling, and most likely will select his study companions from his playmates. When time comes, the children might even end up residing in the palace. You having the child looked after this tightly certainly will get ruled out by her Highness first thing.

The more they thought about it, the angrier they got. If not for his Majesty and her Highness still being present, perhaps they will have stormed off to go reprimand.
