Chapter 109.5: Street Parade, This Kind of Jing Wan

Jing Wan seemingly heard the sound of Rui Qinw.a.n.g grinding his teeth. She casted a glance at Jin Qinw.a.n.g. Rather than living stuffily, currying favor with others in exchange for affection, one might as well live to ones heart content, willfully and impulsively, suffocating others. This living Enma can be considered to have reached the peak in this bit. Unfortunately, not that many people have the ability to live like him.

Just then, someone hastily rushed over, bringing two small sedan chairs, and without another word, directly knelt down and begged for forgiveness first. w.a.n.gye, its all this old servants negligence, a moments carelessness, to think the people below would actually slight Luo Old Madam. This old servant is at fault, asking w.a.n.gye to please punish.

This one was Kunyi Palaces chief eunuch, deeply trusted by the Empress. Li Hong Yi naturally wont punish him, and just as he was about to say a few words to console him, unexpectedly, the living Enma opened his mouth once again, Since thats the case, then will just have this matter handed over to the Chief of the Inner Court

[1]

to investigate and handle. As someone from the Empresss palace, doing something like slighting the madam of a high ranking official, do you think it can be excused by just a line of a moments negligence and carelessness? You all not being attentive in your work, never mind damaging the Empresss reputation, she might even end up with a t.i.tle of loose in managing. If she doesnt have you all dismissed and replaced altogether, wouldnt it be hard for the Empress to re-establish her prestige.

Li Hong Yuan, you Li Hong Yi looked as if he wanted to eat Li Hong Yuan alive.

What, does eldest imperial brother have any complaint towards this prince? Or is it that this prince said something wrong?

Jing Wan slightly raised her eyebrows. Should say, as expected of the living Enma, grabbing the weakness and directly stamping it death. Asking Rui Qinw.a.n.g, these words, would he dare say? Dare to this brazenly offend the Empress? Even Le Cheng Emperor, often times, would still have to give the Empress some face, so even if someone from the Empresss palace is at fault, they are still handed over to the Empress to take care of herself.

The chief eunuch of Kunyi Palace directly collapsed the ground paralyzed. He and the Chief of the Inner Court already had bad blood between them. This time, even if he doesnt die, he would still have to shed a layer of skin. He really regretted. He shouldnt have for the sake of some benefits, just freely allow the people below to backstab and scheme against each another. Of course, in the past, its not like this kind of thing never happened before, but as t.i.tled madams, they ultimately could only clench their teeth and persevere. And once they admit their mistake on this side, the other side naturally wont blurt out a word in front of their master. This kind of thing didnt just happen in the Kunyi Palace either.

Unfortunately, of all people, he just had to encounter Jing Wan, this little ancestor, who because she heartached for her grandmother, stirred up a ruckus, disregarding the consequences. Then, falling into the living Enmas hands, wasnt that just completely tumbling down head first?

Kang Qinw.a.n.g was furious, Rui Qinw.a.n.g was happy, and Gong Qinw.a.n.g, from beginning to end, pretended to be mute. They probably all thought that Li Hong Yuan was helping n.o.ble Consort Su, but in reality, to dare make this princes wife unhappy, just go die. This was the real reason why.

Midway, they parted ways. The w.a.n.gyes headed to see Le Cheng Emperor, while Jing Wan and Luo Old Madam directly headed towards Kunyi Palace. Presumably, this matter just now has already become known to quite a few people.

Speaking of which, there really were quite a few people in the Kunyi Palace. Never mind the few princ.i.p.al imperial consorts, there were even quite a few w.a.n.gfeis from the imperial clan, and even a white-haired old w.a.n.gye. Its said that hes even someone from Le Cheng Emperors grandfathers generation.

The Empress was also one that was able to put down her status. After Jing Wan and Luo Old Madam bowed to her, she just directly expressed her apologies to Luo Old Madam. And towards something like her getting her chief eunuch replaced, she didnt even bat an eye, not mentioning a word.

Youre the Luo familys third miss? Indeed a beautiful young lady. The Empress gently smiled. Yet in the depths of her eyes, there was an astonishment not known to anyone. It can be said that ever since childhood, she has been raised to become the Empress, but on this young girl however was the cultivation and bearing that shed only gotten after several years of being the Empress. And most importantly, this wasnt fostered, but rather completely natural-born, and drawn out from the depths of her bones.

Indeed so, this consort is also very fond of her. n.o.ble Consort Su smilingly opened her mouth. The corners of her eyes were completely open, charming as if made by the heavens, yet also carried a trace of valiance, causing her entire presence to be in full blast, not inferior in any respect compared to the Empress.

So what if the n.o.ble personages wait a little? Were you the one that said these words? The originally peaceful scene was shattered by this one line.

Jing Wan followed the voice and looked over. Heh, really is a surprise, first time seeing this kind of natural-born bitter madam face. The corners of her eyes and mouth were drooping downward, the corners of her eyes long filled with wrinkles, and her eyes also already muddy, yet she just happened to also have a seemingly just cried look. One could also enter the imperial family with this kind of appearance? Indeed said by this subject.

(T/N: Im fairly convinced thats just another way to say resting b.i.t.c.h face)

Your guts are rather big.

Alright, the little miss momentarily got angry and spoke somewhat irresponsibly, thats all. Besides, people like us are idle to begin with. The Emperor hasnt finished up on the other side, and Cheng Jun-w.a.n.gfei and her daughter havent entered the palace yet either, so isnt it precisely not a problem to just wait a little? Already at such old age, what are you still bickering with a little girl for? The white-haired old w.a.n.gye opened his mouth. Quite a few of his teeth had already fallen out, so when he spoke the wind leaked through. However, his composed manner revealed his superb upbringing.

The imperial familys prestige can not..

I said, enough. The old w.a.n.gye swept a glance at that old w.a.n.gfei, letting her obediently shut up.

The others, whether itd be the sister-in-laws

[2]

of the same generation, or the niece-in-laws of the younger generation, all disdainfully curled their lips. Even if one had the imperial familys prestige hung on ones mouth all day, the only one truly able to represent the imperial familys prestige was just the Emperor alone. His sons and Empress perhaps could still occupy a bit of influence, but the others, whose relation to him was distant, were certainly not the case. If not for her still being considered as Le Cheng Emperors elder, would she have the qualifications to sit here? Keep dreaming. Mainly, it was still because the scandal caused by Li Ru Yu this time was too shameful, and upon learning this matter, they couldnt not ask about it. But in reality, they just brought their ears to listen, where would they really be able to interfere.

Shortly after, Cheng Jun-w.a.n.gfei and Li Ru Yu arrived.

Jing Wan took a glance at Li Ru Yu. Her complexion wasnt too good, and her clothes werent the usually ostentatious red either. This was preparing to act pitiful?

Meeting Jing Wans gaze, Little. The vulgar words subconsciously wanted to come out, but fortunately, she realized what kind of place this was, and forcibly swallowed them back. Looks like it really was the rivers and mountains susceptible to change, but ones inherent nature difficult to alter. One beating really was too light.

However, in the moments after, Li Ru Yu was particularly well-behaved the whole time. Not behaving wont do. After all, everyone present all had their line of sight on her, just like knives, wanting to have her sliced up alive. Such a young girl like Li Ru Yu wasnt able to bear it, and began trembling uncontrollably.

His Majesty has arrived.

Li Ru Yu was immediately thrown to the side, as everyone all rose to go welcome the Emperor.

Le Cheng Emperor entered in large strides. Behind him followed the four that Jing Wan previously encountered, and also two w.a.n.gyes from the previous generation, Cheng Junw.a.n.g, Luo Pei Shan, and Chen Zheng Min. Chen Zheng Min, who walked in last after entering, immediately saw Jing Wan and secretly clenched his fist. Afterwards, he released his grip and retracted his gaze, lowering his eyes.

After Le Cheng Emperor sat down in the main seat, everyone uniformly kowtowed. Le Cheng Emperor hurriedly called for them to rise, first asking that great uncle, who had a somewhat hard time moving around, about his meals, clothes, necessities, and whether or not the servants were attentive in their care.

Jing Wan could tell, Le Cheng Emperor genuinely was concerned for his elder, and not putting on an act.

After a round of idle talk, Le Cheng Emperor s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Jing Wan, and after sizing her up, suddenly laughed in spit of himself, Really cant tell, your guts are quite big, and your temper also quite big. So you also know that by disrespecting the imperial clan, one will get beaten by the rod. Say, should this Emperor beat you, or not beat you?

To beat or not, all based on your Majestys one word. Youre the boss, you have the final say in everything.

This emperor asked you, yet you threw it back to this emperor. However, seeing that you previously dared to say if twenty is not enough, then add twenty more, then presumably, youre not afraid of getting beat.

Your Majesty, not afraid is one thing, but not wanting is another. This subject isnt afraid of getting beat, but doesnt want to get beat.

Youre even quite cunning. Considering that youve found for this emperor several great talents, this emperor wont punish you.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Dont be in a hurry to thank this emperor yet. This emperor is also seeing on behalf of your filial piety. This emperor previous also heard your grandfather say, when you were at Qian Fu, you personally tended to your grandmother the whole time, getting involved with everything. For you to be able to go this far at such a young age, truly is remarkable.

Since grandmother pampers this subject, protects this subject, treating this subject like pearl, like treasure, then this subject taking care of grandmother is all what one ought to do.

Then, according to you, if your grandmother doesnt treat you well, you wont be filial to her anymore?

Zhouli

It does translate to sister-in-law but very specifically the wives of ones husbands brothers. So in this scenario its all the other w.a.n.gfeis of that generation.
