Chapter 591.1: Child Rearing, Blocking the Brothers’ Path

Child Rearing, Blocking the Brothers’ Path (1)

How many people’s thoughts were churning, Jing Wan didn’t know, and didn’t need to know. But, towards their only child, even if his old man disliked, not even looking at directly, even stopping her from being too close, as the mother, it was still impossible for her to ignore. When being less close, in other areas, she certainly will just do even more.

Everything else aside, the people serving him, first of all, need to be very carefully selected, from the palace maids and eunuchs, to the mamas. The number of people assigned absolutely will be more than Jing Wan’s own side. Originally, for the people at her side, it has never been her personally picking. Towards the people picked by Gong mama and her wet nurse, she has always felt very reassured. However, this time, she also personally looked over. It’s not that she no longer trusted the people by her side, but rather having the natural mentality of a mother.

In any case, according to Jing Wan’s meaning, her son can’t have less than four people at his side at any time. Even if he was just pea-sized right now, not knowing anything, it was still absolutely forbidden for someone to mutter things by his ear. In any case, she was just worried that someone will influence her son. Regardless of which aspect, it all won’t do. For the wet nurse, it was also like so. The four wet nurses will take turns. No one was allowed to be too close to him.

These things, even though Jing Wan all did behind Li Hong Yuan’s back, but did Li Hong Yuan really not know?

Li Hong Yuan indeed disliked his son, but to want to let Jing Wan completely ignore their son, that was also impossible. For her to be able to somewhat yield a step, it was already not bad, if he were to go overboard, their relationship really will have problems. Li Hong Yuan wasn’t stupid. Moreover, when he wasn’t around, Jing Wan having a bit of something to do was also not bad. During her one-month confinement period after childbirth, she was unable to leave the room, so it was actually quite boring.

‘Looking at’ the things Jing Wan did, Li Hong Yuan has always turned a ‘blind eye’. However, looking at how Jing Wan seemingly was going increasingly overboard, and from the looks of things, his mountains and rivers might really not have a proper successor, thus, at a certain time, when the little thing was still by her side, he went back. No one came to alert her, so when Jing Wan saw Li Hong Yuan, she subconsciously stiffened, but afterwards, she just pretended as if nothing happened, “You’re back.” Even giving a glance to the person next to her to have the child quickly carried away.

However, Li Hong Yuan directly walked to the cradle’s side. The little guy’s wet nurse also didn’t dare to move.

Li Hong Yuan lowered his head for a glance, astonishment flickering through his eyes. In merely just ten days, he was already completely different from his initial blurry impression. All say children grow by the day, this seemingly really was true.

Jing Wan had his expression taken in, her thoughts stirring. She felt that she previously may have made a mistake. She shouldn’t, because he didn’t like, just not let her son appear under his eyes. If it continues like this, afraid they will really become like strangers. Feelings all needed to be developed through interactions, how could she just make this kind of mistake? Her husband’s main conflict towards her son was her son having let her suffered hardship, and also her past life’s death, but wasn’t she perfectly fine right now? As time passes, this will just be forgotten. That’s why, she should let her son promote his existence from time to time. Continuing like this, he will get used to it, and perhaps will just accept.

Thinking to here, Jing Wan waved her hand at the servants, letting them all go down, just leaving their family of three.

Once Li Hong Yuan sat down, Jing Wan leaned against him, “Ah Yuan, isn’t our son very cute? I feel he looks a bit more like you, what do you think?”

That bit of thought of Jing Wan’s, Li Hong Yuan just saw through at a glance, “Wan Wan, don’t waste time on this matter. What you want, it’s impossible.” Li Hong Yuan even lifted his foot and kicked the cradle. The force wasn’t heavy, but the cradle still swayed more than when the palace servants rocked it.

Seeing as it was about to lean towards the ground, Jing Wan was frightened, hurriedly reaching out to grab.

But, she was being held by Li Hong Yuan, so how can she move? The cradle however just returned to its position.

“Hey, what are you doing, what if he falls?” She angrily shot him a glare.

Li Hong Yuan glanced at her, “You’d suffered that much for him, so no matter what, I all won’t let him die easily.” His tone and gaze were all a bit cold.

Jing Wan felt a bit embarrassed under his stare. Thinking again, he’d controlled his strength, and she had overreacted. Just based on this attitude of hers, that was purely pulling in hate for her son, to still be thinking of the whole family harmonious and blissful, must be dreaming.

TN: All

Jing Wan hurriedly stroked his fur, but it was obvious, Li Hong Yuan didn’t really buy it.

However, it was ultimately impossible for him to actually argue with Jing Wan because of this, “Alright, normally don’t see you acting this cleverly and docile.”

“How can that be the same, normally don’t have a goal, but now, there is a purpose.” Jing Wan was quite bold.

Li Hong Yuan got amused by her, “Someone come, have the crown prince carried away.”

The little guy although still hasn’t been formally conferred, but since the imperial decree has already been issued, then he was just the crown prince. No one can threaten his position. At least within a short period of time, it’s like this——of course, this was just certain people’s thoughts. All in all, they still don’t believe that Li Hong Yuan can stay by Jing Wan’s side for a lifetime, or rather, since Li Hong Yuan has sat onto the throne, then no one believed that other women won’t appear by his side. Only when the second prince is born can the crown prince’s position be shaken.

And those with active thoughts also won’t place their bets at this time, waiting a few years, or an even longer time. By then, the state of affairs will be even more clear, and it won’t be too late to make the decision then. As for now, it was merely preparing in advance. With preparations in hand, when time comes, if one were to make a move, one won’t have to worry about not having cards in hand.

The palace servants moved quite quickly. From that appearance, it was like as if fearing a moment slower, Li Hong Yuan will just do something to his own son. As people that served close by, towards Li Hong Yuan’s attitude, they were very clear. They weren’t like the outsiders, getting tricked by the things on the surface.

Li Hong Yuan’s complexion was a bit dark. His wife treating him as such was one thing, but others, especially the palace servants, was that looking to die, or looking to die, or looking to die? That was his son. What he wanted to do, it wasn’t outsiders’ place to evaluate, let alone mere servants.

Jing Wan inwardly laughed, but didn’t dare to be too obvious about it. If by chance she were to provoke him, really causing a bloody incident, then these servants really will be wronged.

Jing Wan hurriedly changed the subject. Easing the father and son’s relationship and whatnot, this matter really can’t be rushed, need to take it slowly.

Li Hong Yuan glanced at her, following along her wish, not saying anything else.

Just, towards the end, Li Hong Yuan felt that even if for his own sake, he should still remind this ‘absentminded’ wife of his.

“Wan Wan feels, based on this current way of raising him, in the end, will he be raised into a dragon or a worm?”

This question came too quickly. Jing Wan only reacted a moment later, the smile on her face fading, slightly frowning. In reality, she also knew that her care towards her son, or rather, her protectiveness was a bit too much. Clearly……. “What does Ah Yuan want to say?”

“Your third brother’s daughter was raised quite well. At the time, you seemingly even gave some suggestions, so how come when it comes to yourself, it’s just not the same anymore.”

Jing Wan’s brows creased even more, “Our son ultimately isn’t the same. There’s too many things involved. The people by his side are destined to not be simple. Moreover, right now, he’s still this small.”

“Wan Wan, small isn’t an excuse. If you just have him protected airtight from the start, forming into a habit, then in the future, it will be very difficult to change. As long as he isn’t an idiot, then he’s destined to become the emperor. In this way, it’s impossible for the people by his side to be completely harmless. If they’re all the same, then during his growth, how will he be able to distinguish between the loyal and the wicked? Some things, no matter how much you explain to him, it’ll still be of no use. Only by personally experiencing will it be carved into the bones. Moreover, if he can’t even figure out the people by his side, then in the future, how will he be able to face those cunning court officials, how will he be able to face the people of the world? He won’t have other brothers fighting with him for the throne. The battle for the throne, although bloody, but how is it not necessarily a training process? However, he won’t have this process. If to then let him sail smoothly, not having any troubles at all, what he will grow into, have you ever considered? If he’s just an ordinary wealthy family young master, then it doesn’t matter, but he’s the heir apparent. He’s destined to not be raised like an ordinary child. You’d also said, the people by his side won’t be simple. Do you believe that with you exercising control like this, you will just be able to control the heart? Control those ambitions? On the contrary, the more tightly you control, the more deeply those people will hide it, which in other words, mean that the existing hidden dangers will just become increasingly harder to detect. By the time it’s discovered, afraid it will have already brought about certain consequences. If able to turn around, then still okay, but if unable to turn around?”

Jing Wan was alarmed. That’s right, the heir apparent absolutely can’t be a flower grown in a greenhouse, else in the future, he will just be a puppet in other’s hand.

TN: If you’re curious what a cradle in ancient times look like, though a lot of old cradles were actually more like hanging baskets. Grounded ones like this were quite rare.
