Chapter 268.2: Just Pretending, Who Doesn’t Know How

Noble Consort Su just felt her insides all burning. Despite clearly knowing that Jing Wan was being deliberate, she still couldn’t do anything about it.

“Yuan’er in the past, although a little wanton, but after marrying you, clearly has improved quite a bit. At least, no longer taking in dubious women into the manor. This consort is very happy.” As soon as she said this, she suddenly realized, that son of hers has already not had women that have been pampered by him appearing by his side in a very long time. Noble Consort Su lowered her head to drink tea, covering up the gloominess in her eyes.

“Is that so?” Jing Wan furrowed her brows, “All say rumors shouldn’t be trusted. After all, this daughter-in-law has never seen this kind of person by wangye’s side before. For wangye’s reputation in the past to be that unbearable, could it be someone deliberately smearing?”

Say she blocked a certain someone’s love affairs? Jing Wan expressed, she won’t acknowledge.

“You’re right, the human heart is unpredictable. This consort should have thought of this bit in the past.” Noble Consort Su frowned.

“Your Highness, no need to worry, this isn’t anything serious. It’s fine as long as we know wangye is good.” Jing Wan consoled.

Noble Consort Su glanced at her, “Precisely so.”

Noble Consort Su called for someone to send some tea and dessert for her, losing the interest to chat.

As for Li Hong Yuan, heading to the imperial study to see Le Cheng Emperor, he ran into the Commander of the Imperial Guards, Yu Zhong Qing, still that taciturn and loyally dutiful man. Just, the rim of his eyes were slightly blue, and those two eyes seemingly were no longer clear, but rather covered in a layer of shadow.

If under normal circumstances, perhaps would just treat it as him having not slept well. But after experiencing through his past life, with just one glance, Li Hong Yuan just knew, that was something that remained after experiencing deep sorrow. Yu Zhong Qing, as expected, still stepped onto his old path.

When Yu Zhong Qing saw Li Hong Yuan, his gaze lit, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately just opened his mouth to pay his respect.

Li Hong Yuan pretended not to hear, not stopping in his steps, directly stepping into the imperial study.

Yu Zhong Qing had his head lowered, his heart containing the overturning seas and rivers that only he knew of, and also that bone penetrating pain. Some things echoed in his mind again and again, all the way until the end, his heart returned to tranquility, having already made a decision.

Towards the carefree and willful Li Hong Yuan, Le Cheng Emperor naturally was also very annoyed. After all, the son he regarded the most highly repeatedly made careless mistakes in succession, and the secret battles between his sons were becoming increasingly obvious. He had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, so seeing Li Hong Yuan, he naturally didn’t have any good face. With matters piling one by one, he also didn’t have the energy to go berate him either. Thus, after a few words, he just had the person sent off.

An outcome within expectations. Li Hong Yuan left very nonchalantly.

At the door, Yu Zhong Qing saw off Li Hong Yuan.

Li Hong Yuan once again went to Yucui Palace. Compared to when he left previously, there were a few more people here. Rui Wangfei had brought her two di daughters over. She appeared to still be pretty good, but only in appearance, her make up very thick, and compared to Jing Wan, far too inferior.

She’d received Noble Consort Su’s word, bringing the children into the palace to accompany her for a chat and relieve boredom.

Rui Wangfei knew, not having a grandson was actually a thorn in Noble Consort Su’s heart. Seeing her two granddaughters, afraid she would only become even more stuffy. But, for the sake of her own image, Noble Consort Su couldn’t not see them, and even if Rui Wangfei worried that her children will receive bad influence, she still couldn’t not bring them into the palace. All say children were transparent. Actually, they already sensed that Noble Consort Su didn’t really like them, and because of this, when facing Noble Consort Su, they were increasingly stiff.

Noble Consort Su felt it was Rui Wangfei not raising them well, esteemed imperial granddaughters, yet this small-minded.

Rui Wangfei had grievances, yet unable to voice.

Today, it was actually still okay. Jing Wan actually quite liked children, and rather than dully sitting around, she might as well find a bit of something to do, so just started playing with the two children. Naturally it wasn’t the two children’s first time seeing her. Because Jing Wan, from beginning to end, has always radiated goodwill towards them, they naturally just liked this sixth aunt very much. When Jing Wan asked them questions, they would also obediently and delicately answer, smilingly sweetly.

Speaking from this aspect, Rui Wangfei had her children raised very well, not letting them get corroded by darkness too early.

“Since sixth sister-in-law likes children this much, quickly give birth to one yourself.” Rui Wangfei said with a smile.

Jing Wan’s personality, as oppose to them, was practically just a straight rod, and moreover, she even had her offended before altogether. But, Rui Wangfei didn’t really have any ill will towards Jing Wan, even somewhat envying. At least, she forever was unable to become like Jing Wan. She had too many restraints, and too many misgivings, simply just not having a path to turn back on.

“This kind of thing like children, depend on fate.” Jing Wan smiled.

Right now, she was currently avoiding getting pregnant, so where would there be children. Moreover, in Jing Wan’s eyes, a certain someone not letting her get pregnant, really wasn’t completely because of her age, nor because right now wasn’t suitable for having children. The most important point, most likely was that he didn’t want to have a ‘third wheel’ come disturb their married life this early.

“You and Jin Qinwang’s body are both healthy, so believe you’ll have a child very soon. Perhaps already have one right now. Jin Qinwang married late, so all these years consort mother has been wholeheartedly looking forward to one. The children you give birth to, consort mother certainly will like.”

Jing Wan smiled but didn’t speak. Noble Consort Su can look forward to anything, but probably has never once looked forward to Jin Qinwang’s child. Then, Rui Wangfei seemingly had inadvertently stabbed Noble Consort Su. Jing Wan actually quite wanted to see Noble Consort Su’s complexion at this moment, but after thinking about it, it was still better to forget it. Towards this kind of elite veteran, who knows whether or not a glance will just let her guess some things.

“What are you all talking about?” Li Hong Yuan entered.

“Saying that her Highness looks forward to wangye’s child.” Clearly having already heard, what are you pretending for? Jing Wan was smiling on her face, yet in her heart she greatly rolled her eyes.

Li Hong Yuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Jing Wan’s stomach, “Then, when does wangfei plan on giving birth to one for this prince?”

“Oh stop it.” Jing Wan coquettishly shot him a glare. Actually, the goosebumps on her were all about to stand up.

Li Hong Yuan unconcernedly smiled, looking towards Rui Wangfei, “Third sister-in-law is also here, but how come don’t see third imperial brother?”

Rui Wangfei curtsied, “Your third brother has things to take care of, always envying you for being so relaxed.”

“That’s true, working oneself to death all day is just looking to suffer hardships. ———-Your sixth aunt built a playground specifically for children like you all to play with on the estate. When you have time, let your consort mother take you all over to play, no need to notify sixth uncle.” Li Hong Yuan turned his head and said.

The two little girls’ eyes lit up, clearly very interested, “Many thanks sixth uncle.”

“Never mind messing around yourself, to even take along small children, having this consort’s dear grandchildren led astray, this consort won’t forgive you.” Noble Consort Su pretended to be angry, carrying a bit of doting as she tapped him through the air.

‘To point at the mulberry tree and curse the locust tree’ and whatnot, Jing Wan felt was also quite something, but she pretended not to hear.

“Since that’s the case, then just forget it. Consort mother, you have to know, it’s rare for this son to be generous for once.”

“Oh you………..”
