THE WHOLE FAMILY HARMONIOUS? (2)

“This consort greets your Majesty. Why did your Majesty decide to come to this consort’s place at this time?” n.o.ble Consort Su said with a smile.

“If this emperor didn’t come at this time, wouldn’t this emperor miss out on this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s outrageous words?”

“Yuan’er was just speaking harshly without bad intent. Your Majesty, don’t be angry.” n.o.ble Consort Su urged.

“Beloved consort, move aside, if this emperor doesn’t properly sort him out today, this emperor won’t be able to dispel this anger.”

“Your Majesty, Yuan’er still has injuries on his body. What if the wound tears open again? All say, wound on the child’s body, pain in the mother’s heart. This consort doesn’t believe your Majesty doesn’t heartache. This consort has been praying day and night, and finally awaited his return. If he were to have another mishap, wouldn’t this consort be heartbroken to death?” n.o.ble Consort Su previously could still endure, yet at this moment, uncontrollably began crying.

“Yuan’er this time can be said to have narrowly escaped from death. Yet, under circ.u.mstances unbeknownst to him, he was bestowed a w.a.n.gfei he didn’t like. He had anger inside, that’s why he was talking irresponsibly. Emperor, can you not be angry at Yuan’er, alright?”

“Alright, alright, alright, this emperor won’t get angry, beloved consort, don’t cry.” Le Cheng Emperor saw her sorrowful tears and instantly lost his anger, rus.h.i.+ng to coax her. He turned his head towards the seemingly somewhat stiff Li Hong Yuan, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, don’t you see your consort mother crying so tearfully. This is all because of who? Still not coming to comfort her?”

Li Hong Yuan had never coaxed a crying woman before. He really didn’t know what to do. His rigidness and helplessness, at least that little bit, was real and not completely feigned. “Consort mother, don’t cry…..” It was just that one dull line.

Fortunately, Le Cheng Emperor didn’t count on him either. He, rather, was very skilled at coaxing women, and very soon, stopped n.o.ble Consort Su’s tears.

“Your Majesty, this consort has lost one’s bearing. This consort doesn’t want to cry either, but just thinking about Yuan’er facing life and death, just couldn’t hold back anymore.”

“There, there, isn’t he properly standing here now?”

“Then your Majesty won’t punish Yuan’er?”

“Alright, alright, all according to beloved consort, this time will just let him off.”

n.o.ble Consort Su laughed through the tears. However, remembering that Yuan’er was still present, she couldn’t help but blush, truly embarra.s.sing to death.

Li Hong Yuan rather didn’t feel anything. He was very earnestly studying, studying how his old man coaxed someone. Perhaps, someday in the future, it’ll come in handy. In his past life, he actually never saw Wan Wan cry before, but perhaps some time in the days after she might cry. If he didn’t know how to coax someone in the least, then Wan Wan will be angry. He seemed to have once heard someone say, when women were heartbroken, sad, or crying, they all hoped for their man to be able to coax them, showing that you really love her, care for her.

Afterwards, someday in the future, Jing Wan got a taste of what it was like to be coaxed by her husband. It really made one feel speechless to the extreme. Turns out, this overbearing and unreasonable maniac with super strong possessive desires, his emotional IQ was actually beyond low. Tossing and turning, eight times out of ten, it ended up with Jing Wan coaxing him. Moreover, on two occasions he started sulking on his own, and Jing Wan had no idea why—What tantrum was it this time? Could it be his disease acting up again?

Now that n.o.ble Consort Su stopped crying, it was time to take care of Li Hong Yuan’s matter. Le Cheng Emperor forcibly suppressed his angry. “Just what exactly do you want?”

“Get rid of the engagement.”

“Get rid of the engagement? You sure say it easy, just moving your mouth up and down, open and close. Don’t you know a ruler does not go back on his word? This emperor personally issued the decree, and now you want this emperor to turn around and take it back? Where do you want this emperor to put one’s face?” Le Cheng Emperor was so angry his teeth itched.

“It’s not like it’s once or twice that you’ve lost face on this son, what difference does one more time make?” Li Hong Yuan made a ‘you should’ve long been accustomed’ expression.

“You….” Le Cheng Emperor lifted his hand, wanting to smack him.

“Yuan’er—-” n.o.ble Consort Su’s voice raised some, sounding somewhat sharp. But, Li Hong Yuan could also see the traces of plea in her eyes.

Li Hong Yuan paused and averted his eyes. “Giving this son such a w.a.n.gfei, you should at least compensate this son a bit of something, right?” He really can be considered to have compromised and yielded.

n.o.ble Consort Su relaxed a breath.

Have to say, that burst of anger lodged in Le Cheng Emperor’s chest also dispersed quite a bit. He was also afraid of this b.a.s.t.a.r.d being stubborn till the end no matter what. If that was the case, then what should he do in the end? Is it to harden his heart and actually sort him out once, or once again compromise and take back his decree? This b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s words were very right. Because of him, he as the father had already, not just once or twice, swept his face across the floor in front of the court officials. Fortunately, this sin’s incarnation still occasionally listened to his consort mother. However, thinking till here, Le Cheng Emperor felt unsettled again inside. He was the one that was in control of the world, the honorable son of heaven that grasped the power of life and death, and also his old man. Don’t tell me this b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn’t fear in the least? And didn’t have the slightest reverence towards his father either?

Le Cheng Emperor’s suppressed anger slowly began rising again.

“What? Imperial father doesn’t want to give this son any benefits?” Li Hong Yuan’s complexion grew cold. If Le Cheng Emperor were to dare nod, then this matter was through. Don’t even think about letting him obediently listen and marry an ugly and old woman.

“Emperor, Emperor, it’s precisely because Yuan’er is your son, that he’s like this. Look, other people, who has he ever paid attention to?” n.o.ble Consort Su was the most clear that Le Cheng Emperor, at this moment, was boiling in fury again. However, probably because she tried to mediate in a hurry, the words that came out, why did they seem a bit adding oil to the fire, causing the fire to burn oneself? As expected……

(T/N: Have to say, LHY has set the bar real low with his parents lmaooo.)

Le Cheng Emperor stared at n.o.ble Consort Su and icily opened his mouth, “Ignoring others, yet towards his old man, he’s disobedient and unfilial. This kind of son, this emperor would rather not have.”

n.o.ble Consort Su’s face immediately changed, “Emperor, these words can’t be said like that, if elder sister’s spirit in heaven were to hear, how sad would she be.”

Le Cheng Emperor’s complexion changed; that anger also in that instant dispelled quite a bit.

n.o.ble Consort Su helped calm him, speaking in a gentle voice with a smile, “If Yuan’er really were to ignore you, afraid you’d be even angrier. Previously, when Yuan’er didn’t enter the palace, who was it that was burning in anxiety?”

(T/N: n.o.ble Consort Su uses the more casual ‘you’ here instead of the formal ‘you’ she’d previously been using.)

“Naturally it was beloved consort you, who else could it be?” Le Cheng Emperor glared at Li Hong Yuan again and snorted twice, “Raising such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d that specifically comes to anger this emperor is also this emperor’s own bad luck. Who let this emperor owe such a sinful debt.”

Li Hong Yuan remained silent, acting as if he didn’t hear, and further didn’t understand.

n.o.ble Consort Su also amicably smiled, changing the subject, “Since Yuan’er wants a compensation, then what does Yuan’er want? As long as it’s not too overboard, your imperial father will definitely agree to you, right, your Majesty?” Le Cheng Emperor continued to coldly groan. Towards this pair of father and son that were just like natural born enemies, n.o.ble Consort Su truly was both powerless and helpless. However, she was indeed used to it. If someday they were to harmoniously interact, like benevolent father, filial son, then afraid something big really must have happened.

“Since it’s imperial father compensating this son, naturally everything will be decided by imperial father. In any case, this son even has a w.a.n.gfei now, not lacking anything.”

“Can’t you just talk to this emperor nicely? Must you carry thorn in every word?”

“What did this son say wrong?”

Right, nothing was wrong. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d extorted that many good things from his place, yet if he, this Emperor, were to slightly show off a little, then the imperial censor will immediately present a memorial to ‘reprimand’ him. That’s why, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d enjoyed even more extravagance than him. Have to say, the most valuable things in the world, if you can’t find in the Emperor’s private storage, most likely you’ll be able to find in Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s personal storage. What he lacked was just a wife, and now that he had a wife, a son, the Emperor couldn’t do anything about, he could only just go back to his bride and slowly make one himself—–
