Chapter 368.2: Jing Wan Was Very Happy
The palace maid didn’t dare to disobey her, hurriedly helping her up, “Your Highness, how about this servant go invite wangye back?”
“Not allowed to go. He was already heartbroken and sad to begin with. Seeing this consort like this, he’ll start feeling guilty and blame himself again. This time, it was this consort’s fault to begin with. At this time, don’t make noise. In a few days, when the imperial physician visits for a checkup, just let him secretly prescribe some medicine.” Noble Consort Su rubbed her temples, appearing to be lacking in strength, feeling weary.
Noble Consort Su wasn’t just weary because of Li Hong Yuan’s matter, but also because of Jing Wan going out with a ‘disheveled’ appearance the day before yesterday, as well as having her capable old palace maid beaten to death with the rod. The imperial concubines that came to her place to ‘console’ her were in flocks. There were those that openly praised yet secretly degraded, and those that sarcastically mocked. Of course, there weren’t any that really dared to point at her nose and say it directly. Actually, these things all weren’t considered anything. If one can’t even withstand this bit, then how can one establish oneself in the imperial harem. Just, there were still influences.
Noble Consort Su was unwilling to invite the imperial physician, so could only take some everyday supplement pills to get by.
Li Hong Yuan exited Yucui Palace.
Actually, that slight disturbance, he all heard, but what did that have to do with him? He turned back for a glance, and afterwards, in the place where Noble Consort Su had grabbed, he brushed his sleeve, like as if brushing away something dirty. Shortly after, he directly left the palace.
On the way back to the main courtyard, Li Hong Yuan already learned about Jing Wan getting ran into by someone. Never mind startling the horse, even the carriage nearly overturned. Although, because of the bodyguards outside reacting in time, the carriage managed to be stabilized, but Jing Wan still got bruised.
In merely an instant, Li Hong Yuan was completely shrouded in dark clouds, “Go received the punishment on your own, each person fifty lashes.”
“Yes.” An Yi responded, not daring and also won’t have any complaint.
“Did the people of the He family already come by the manor?”
“Yes, however, wangfei said to wait for wangye, you, to come back and handle, and didn’t let the people of the He family enter the gates either. Although the people of the He family temporarily left, but presumably, left someone near the manor. Seeing master return to the manor, they most likely will visit again very soon.”
“When this prince entered the palace, this prince had ran into General He. ——-Go have the person’s arms and legs all snapped. When the He family comes again, also have them blocked outside for this prince.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Li Hong Yuan at this time, Jing Wan was also a bit surprised. Because she was alone, she ate relatively quickly. The palace, this while, should still be using the meal.
Jing Wan didn’t think too much, just ordering someone to make some more food, no need to be too fancy, just need to be quick.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t have an appetite and didn’t want to eat? Really sorry, this while, he really was hungry. While waiting for the food, Li Hong Yuan intimately cuddled with Jing Wan.
Jing Wan, rather, didn’t have him pushed aside. After being married for more than half a year, she predicted that this man not only was a serious snake disease patient, but most likely also have craving for skin contact. The longer they were apart, the most clingy he will be. However, this kind of situation clearly just happened on her. Moreover, this man really had a bit of obsession with cleanliness.
Because he wanted her to settle the debt, for the sake of having the debt calculated clearly as quickly as possible, towards his past, Jing Wan carried out a bit of investigation, and the best target to learn from naturally was just Eunuch Mu.
That’s why, when Eunuch Mu came back to report earlier, Jing Wan took the opportunity to ask.
Eunuch Mu, for the sake of giving his male master an upright and devoted image in front his female master, naturally just spilled everything he knew.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t like others serving, and for things such as bathing and changing, for the most part, he just set to the task himself, occasionally letting someone wipe his back. The only thing on him that he needed someone else to continuously take care of was just his hair. Since long ago, the one in charge of these things was always Eunuch Mu. Palace maids, servant girls, and whatnot, for the most part were unable to touch him, and every time Eunuch Mu set to the task, he would always have himself washed clean first. As long as there was any place that made him unsatisfied, one would all be out of luck.
The seven day extreme pampering was true, and quite a few women falling madly in love with Li Hong Yuan was also true, but wangye has never even touched a single hair on them. And the ones that managed to survive the seven days, actually, were all some relatively special women. They for the most part were all cooperating with Li Hong Yuan in putting on an act, letting outsiders firmly believe that Li Hong Yuan indeed was lustful and frivolous, and at the same time, balance out with those women that only stayed by Li Hong Yuan’s side for a day or two, not letting others suspect that Li Hong Yuan has actually never touched anyone before.
According to Eunuch Mu’s explanation, it was just——-wangye felt those people were dirty, and if too close, even the air was all muddy.
After Jing Wan learned these, she stroked her chin, and really was in a bit of disbelief. Her husband’s virgin body might have ended in her hands. Although she didn’t directly ask Eunuch Mu this kind of question, Jing Wan still more or less came to this kind of conclusion. Eunuch Mu was seven to eight years older than Li Hong Yuan, and has been serving by Li Hong Yuan’s side since Li Hong Yuan was five years old. Towards Li Hong Yuan’s private matters, there really weren’t anyone that can know more than him.
It’s no wonder Jing Wan was this surprised. Setting aside Li Hong Yuan’s maxed out flirting skills, their first time together on the bed, that skill level clearly was a pro among pros, not the least bit like an inexperienced virgin boy that has never tasted lust before.
But, standing from Eunuch Mu’s position, he seemingly didn’t need to lie like this.
After all, for a man, no matter how frivolous and loose prior to marrying, as long as after marrying, he doesn’t have anyone other than his wife by his side, then in a woman’s eyes, that was just considered a first class good man. Most likely, aside from her, no one would feel the least bit uncomfortable. Even for princesses, prior to marrying, they would even specially send a servant girl to test the marriage[1]. Eunuch Mu certainly would have similar thoughts, so it wasn’t necessary to make up such a lie about Li Hong Yuan never touching women before.
That’s why, a certain someone was just naturally gifted? And being that intense and vigorous in bed was actually all because of having held it in for too long?
Jing Wan smacked her head. In a moment of carelessness, her thoughts just went dirty again.
However, towards this bit, Jing Wan really was quite happy. That bit of tiny barrier that even she didn’t realize existed and was buried very deep instantly disappeared without a trace.
That’s why, this while, when Li Hong Yuan was cuddling with her, she also just let him do as he pleased. Even if there were servant girls coming and going, she also didn’t push him.
Li Hong Yuan’s gaze slightly flickered. His understanding of her in the past was based on what he learned from the shadow guards’ fragmented reports, and what he knew was just the exterior that she displayed on the outside. At present, towards her heart, he was understanding more and more. Right now, he was practically certain that during this period of time while he was gone, something must have happened.
For him, this obviously was a good thing.
Afterwards, during the meal, Jing Wan smilingly sat by his side, helping him fill his plate, sometimes even directly feeding him.
When Li Hong Yuan had her pulled into his arms, Jing Wan also didn’t object, and very naturally fed him. Li Hong Yuan felt, even if asking her to feed with her mouth, Jing Wan right now certainly would all be willing. Casting a glance at the servant girls that had their head buried low, hating that their head can’t shrink into their stomach, Li Hong Yuan in the end didn’t do this. Perhaps, from now on, without even needing him to deliberately instruct, Wan Wan’s understanding will all be deeply carved into her bones.
Li Hong Yuan filled his stomach, his heart also filling along with.
Jing Wan wanted to take an afternoon nap, so Li Hong Yuan accompanied her. Once she fell asleep, he finally got up, calling over Gong mama and Eunuch Mu. After asking, he learned the answer.
Li Hong Yuan helplessly laughed. How can this just be described as a jar of vinegar, clearly it was just a sea of vinegar. Just because in the past he never touched any other woman before, she was just this happy. Her possessiveness was wanting for the body and heart to unite, the body and heart as one. What she wanted was just the perfectly intact whole, and if lacking one, she probably will abandon like worn-out shoes.
In this lifetime, Li Hong Yuan preserving his body wasn’t really just because of knowing Jing Wan’s views in this aspect. Actually, in his past life, his lust was just relatively dull to begin with. Because he was a qinwang, he was the same as a great majority of men. He has never considered other women’s feelings before, let alone meticulously ‘serving’ the other party. As long as he was content, that was enough. In reality, aside from certain areas that needed to come in contact, including his wangfei, the times they intimately came in contact with his body all weren’t much, and after a certain amount of time, they would just naturally separate, never once having a single exception. Because he was ‘naturally gifted’, every time when it came to serving on the bed, they all weren’t very willing to get close with him and were even a bit scared of him, just because he was too rough, only bringing them pain and not pleasure, so every time it was all suffering hardships. Since they were unwilling, Li Hong Yuan naturally further disdained, but because they wanted a child, they would still try to seduce him at all cost. Heheh, who did they take him for?
Thus, those women were more or less no different from having entered the cold palace[2].
Afterwards, he became the emperor. First it was settling the chaos of war, and after the country stabilized, his body also gradually fell apart, his health becoming worse and worse. And the number of times he entered the imperial harem could be counted on one hand. And on bedroom matters, he also felt disinterested. Recalling that sole night with Jing Wan, he instead was able to feel happy a few times.
And in the last few years, he didn’t take a single step into the imperial harem.
As for empress, what the hell was that? Aside from a Xian Consort that was in charge of palace affairs, there wasn’t a single woman in any of the other consort positions. The court officials knew his body’s condition, and further because of his tyrant title, even if he didn’t have many women in his harem, no one dared to say a single word.
The influences from that time seemingly were carried over to this life, and certain symptoms naturally became even more serious.
In the end, it’s not that other women might have brought him psychological scars, but rather the impression Jing Wan left behind in his heart was too deep. For many men, their feelings and lust were separate. But when it came to him, he was unable to separate.
“Did someone from the He family come?” Li Hong Yuan lazily asked.
[1] This is the practice of where the princess would send one of her trusted servant girls to test or teach her future husband about bed matters prior to the wedding.
[2] The cold palace is referring to the place where the Emperor sends concubines that fell out of favor, and sometimes even abolished empresses, as punishment. In this context it’s basically saying that he never met with these people again.
