One Screwing Over Another (2)
Even though Empress Xie-shi didn’t do anything, but when facing the Luo family, it was still hard to avoid feeling awkward.
After the Luo family left, Jing Wan gave out large amounts of bestowments. Some felt envious, but also felt that this was only natural and expected.
Afterwards, the titled madams successively entered the palace to pay respect to Jing Wan. The news of her pregnancy also slowly spread.
In reality, it was indeed as predicted, some felt that she was old and shameless, but it was also just thinking about it inside, feeling sour inside.
Jing Wan peacefully continued raising the fetus, not that different from back then when she was pregnant with Li Tian Lin.
The child didn’t make a fuss, there also wasn’t the concern of Jing Wan’s ‘death flag’ like back then, in addition to the success rate of c-sections being very high, Li Hong Yuan’s complexion for once improved a little, to the extent that he would occasionally teach the crown prince that came to Shouan Palace. This for the crown prince was absolutely a pleasant surprise. Originally, to be able to obtain some of his grandmother’s teachings, it was already very fortunate, yet now, his grandfather actually also opened his esteemed mouth. What else can there be that can make one more excited than this.
After Li Tian Lin learned of this, he just laughed, not saying anything, and afterwards, the next day, claimed that his body was a bit unwell, letting the crown prince handle the governmental affairs for the time being.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis method that was the exact same as Li Hong Yuan’s, he really didn’t even bother changing in the slightest.
However, the current crown prince had been taught meticulously this whole time and still haven’t gotten screwed over by his old man before. That’s why, for a while, he also didn’t know that he’d actually gotten screwed over by his old man. The crown prince although had also long began getting involved in politics, but it was for the most part just listening to the side, very rarely speaking. To suddenly be handling governmental affairs directly, without his imperial father watching from the side, he more or less felt a bit helpless. However, he also didn’t want to let his imperial father be disappointed, so he worked very hard, spending quite a bit of time.
A few days later, the crown prince found time to go to Shouan Palace. Seeing that there was already dark circles under his eyes, Jing Wan just asked a few words. The crown prince earnestly answered. Well, what is there to not understand. Jing Wan couldn’t help but get angry. That little bastard, not learning the good, instead just picking his old man’s bad habits to learn. He had gotten screwed over by his old man, so if he doesn’t make up for it from his own son, he will just feel stifled inside? She was unable to sort out his old man, but would she not be able to sort him out? “Your imperial father feeling unwell, to think that grandmother actually didn’t know, and also didn’t hear your imperial mother mention before. How about this, later, let your imperial mother come over. Grandmother will ask her the specific situation.”
“Yes, imperial grandmother.” The crown prince deferentially responded.
Once the crown prince left Shouan Palace, the corner of his mouth slowly rose. What’s that, he just told the truth, no? Of course it wasn’t scheming against his own imperial father.
And inside Shouan Palace, Jing Wan was also somewhat helplessly smiling at Li Hong Yuan, “Just look, it all came from you.”
Although he’d received the best education from birth, his experiences were ultimately lacking. That bit of calculation of his, how could it escape from Jing Wan’s eyes. However, since the dark circles have already come out, he truly was quite pitiful. Thus, she didn’t expose him either, following his wishes and sorting out his old man.
Li Hong Yuan declined to comment, “When unable to take control of the overall situation on one’s own, knowing to borrow power, that is also just the basics, but to use you, deserved to be sorted out.”
That’s why, Jing Wan observed a moment of silence for her dear grandson. Even though he was able to borrow her hand to scheme against his old man, but later, his old man will certainly sort him out. That’s why, in the end, he was still a bit too tender. If a bit more skillful, then he wouldn’t have done it this obviously. Of course, they were all close family, so some things were merely just jokes, no need to be too serious over.
After Li Tian Lin learned that his empress had gotten specially called over by his imperial mother, he more or less just knew what happened, inwardly scolding that little bastard. Sure enough, he was still too benevolent. That little brat didn’t even have all his feathers, yet already dared to scheme against his old man. Just look at him, already the esteemed emperor for more than a decade, yet he still didn’t dare to stroke his old man’s whiskers.
TN: All
Jing Wan also didn’t scold her own son, just telling him about what she’d seen and heard outside, randomly discussing the various region’s ‘custom and culture’.
Li Tian Lin’s back gradually began seeping with cold sweat. How was this discussing with him? This was clearly telling him, throughout Qi Yuan, among the thousands of mountains and rivers, how many areas were still lacking. novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net
After Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan returned, they never once interfered in politics. Even if Li Tian Lin were to occasionally mention on his own, it would also get blocked by Jing Wan with, “You’re the emperor, so naturally everything should be decided by you.”
To not say, it was just that, but once she opened her mouth, it was just fatal.
Li Tian Lin lowered his head, repenting, imperial mother, this son was wrong, really wrong, shouldn’t have used the opportunity to be lazy, really!
Jing Wan warmly smiled, “Tian Lin, you also don’t need to have pressure. In the vast world, no matter what, there will certainly always be unpleasant areas, just do your best.”
“Imperial mother is right, but since there are unpleasant areas, then should just work on changing, one place at a time. Even if it will happen again in the future, one still can’t just ignore it, no?” That’s why, imperial mother, this son really was wrong, please don’t say anymore. If it continues like this, imperial father won’t just be coldly glaring, that simple.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You having this heart naturally is good. However, the body is the capital for all things, so one should still pay attention.”
Li Tian Lin nearly directly kneeled before his imperial mother, silently telling himself, in the future, under his imperial father and imperial mother’s eyelids, it was better to not rashly act up. The things that his old man can do didn’t mean that he can also do. “Many thanks for imperial mother’s concern, this son knows.”
“En, there’s nothing else, go on then.”
“Yes, this son will take one’s leave.” Li Tian Lin got up, and after bowing, he retreated out.
After Li Tian Lin left, he wiped his forehead. Sure enough, in this lifetime of his, don’t even think about moving his old man, that big mountain. In the past, he still had his imperial mother shielding, but now, his imperial mother also became a big mountain. Just thinking about it…….so angry!
That’s why, he should also firmly become his son’s big mountain, not just the eldest one, but the other ones too, don’t even think about escaping.
A few days later, Li Tian Lin just had his eldest son packaged and thrown out of the capital, under the glorified excuse of back then, he, this old man, had also been out for several years surveying the people, and at the time, he was just eleven. Right now, the crown prince was already fourteen, so naturally should also go out for a stroll. If he doesn’t experience the difficulties of the people, then how can he become a good emperor?
Towards this bit, Jing Wan naturally won’t say anything either.
However, because of the Xie clan, the current crown prince going out, just don’t know whether or not there will be some unusual twists and turns. However, no matter what, it probably won’t be worse than Li Tian Lin back then. After all, at the time, it was Li Hong Yuan personally crafting. The Xie family, no matter what, all won’t go overboard.
Entering the sixth month, Jing Wan, because of the pregnancy, her body temperature was just relatively high to begin with, so in this summer weather, she just felt even hotter.
At the same time, it was also nearing the expected due date. The midwives and female physicians were already on standby. And the imperial physicians were also in the Imperial Physicians Court, unable to be away for long.
Jing Wan actually didn’t have prenatal anxiety. However, in this hot weather, to sit in confinement for a month after childbirth, unable to use ice, unable to directly come in contact with wind, afraid it will be very unbearable.
