Chapter 242.1: Mutually Shouldering the Pot, Returning To the Maiden Home

Nestled in Li Hong Yuans arms, Jing Wan very quickly just fell asleep. Getting held a bit tight and whatnot, it was also just whatever after getting used to. Thats why, this thing called habit really was quite scary and quite interesting.

Even if shed gotten up much later than usual in the morning, generally speaking as a whole, Jing Wans total sleeping hours last night still wasnt enough. Thats why, by the time she slept until she woke up naturally, shed used up an hour more than usual. As for Li Hong Yuan, he actually didnt sleep for that long, but right now, he had a beauty in arm, all things content. Whether it was emptying his mind and closing his eyes for a doze, or staring at Jing Wans sleeping face lost in thought, he was all able to have the time whittled away.

When Jing Wan realized shed overslept again, she was quite vexed. What was all this?

We didnt even enter the palace on time, yet imperial father didnt say anything either, so what if they wait a little longer? Li Hong Yuan was unconcerned.

Can this be the same? Entering the palace according to the set time, one still needed to wait until Le Cheng Emperor finish with morning court and finish taking care of important governmental affairs. What one matched with was his time, and can only be late and not early. He was the father, and even the owner of the world. Serving tea, this kind of thing, one couldnt possibly pa.s.s over him and serve the others first. Thats why, as long as when he summons, he can immediately see them, he wont care when exactly you entered the palace, especially considering this riddled with previous criminal marks son. However, these imperial relatives werent the same, completely putting down all their own matters to wait there. As the new couple, arriving late, certainly will make them unhappy inside.

For this prince to be willing to go, its already giving them face. Even if they have a complaint, still need to hold it in for this prince.

Jing Wan silently facepalmed. Alright, she didnt know anything at all. She was just a beautiful and pure white lotus. The black pot and whatnot, since someone was willing to shoulder, and even shouldering without the slightest pressure, what was she holding back for, just brazenly throw it on him.

Li Hong Yuan seemingly could already tell that Jing Wan was already gradually coming to realization. However, this pot naturally cant be shouldered by him alone. No matter what, it was still proper etiquette go back and forth, no? However, he wasnt in a hurry, they can take it slowly.

Li Hong Yuan hooked his lips into a smile, If Wan Wan does anything bad in the future, simply just push it all onto this prince. And those that have a request for this prince, yet turn to you, also just worry about accepting their things. However, remember to have the threshold raised high from the start, dont let others feel that asking you for a favor is a very cheap and simple matter.

Encountering such a husband, letting ones one wife be as greedy as possible, truly made one dizzy. Gold, silver, and precious gems, do you still lack? Arent favors worth more in value?

Li Hong Yuan pinched Jing Wans nose, Wan Wans words are correct, but still need to depend on the situation. Your husband, I, right now, cant openly let people owe favors. This thing called favors also signifies a connection. If too many, someone will be unhappy. Troubles and whatnot isnt that big of a deal, but it will take up my time. Having that idle and carefree mood and time, I would rather spend it with you. Thats why, in most cases, its still better to receive money and goods. And those few rare cases, I believe, without needing me to teach, Wan Wan will know what to do. Actually, what you choose to do all doesnt matter, you have me for all things.

Jing Wan also understood the severity of the matter. She was merely just saying in pa.s.sing. In reality, things that she shouldnt meddle in, she absolutely wont meddle in. Yet this man gave her such a strong backing and enough confidence, even giving her the power to partic.i.p.ate in political affairs. This already wasnt as simple as just indulgence. Does he really know what hes doing?

Would Li Hong Yuan not know what hes doing? Of course he was clear. This kind of thing, how can it make him lose his rationality.

Li Hong Yuan kissed her on the lips. One day, she will understand what hes doing. He didnt mind using his entire life to give her an answer. So, still want to go out or not? If you dont want to, then just dont go serve tea. Drinking the tea you served, are they not scared of their life shortening.

Jing Wans palm covered his face, having his head pushed aside, entering the room to change.

Towards Jing Wans great disrespect, Li Hong Yuan just laughed. Thats why spending that much time prior to marrying to get closer with her was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if switched with conventional married couples manner of interaction, on the second day of the marriage, how could the new wife be this carefree and even unrestrained. Li Hong Yuan genuinely felt he was too wise.

Meeting the imperial relatives took place outside the palace. Everyone all gathered in the home of that old ancestor who had the highest seniority in the family. Counting the relation, he was just Li Hong Yuan and the others great-granduncle (great grandfathers younger brother). The inside and outside of the room were all filled with people, including Li Hong Yuans brothers and sisters, regardless of whether or not theyve married. Then there was just the qinw.a.n.gs and junw.a.n.gs, qin-w.a.n.gfeis and jun-w.a.n.gfeis. Even those that rarely appear on normal days, as long as they were still within three relations of Le Cheng Emperor, at this time, all gathered here. Just based on status, aside from those in the palace, in the entirety Qi Yuan, there probably wasnt anyone more n.o.ble than these people.

This many people all just waiting on that pair of newlyweds. Knowing Li Hong Yuans personality, some people already came half a quarter later, but even more people came on the dot. However, they still underestimated a certain someone. Waiting left and right, drinking a stomach full of tea, this resentment was already about to shoot into the heavens, even instinctively wanting to storm off, but in the end, still endured. It couldnt be helped. For a long time now, the rules were just this way. If they leave, it wasnt just not giving Jin Qinw.a.n.g face, it was also not giving Le Cheng Emperor face. And that was just equal to not giving face to ones provider. Do you not want to live or what?

Of course, there were also those with a relatively good state of mind. In any case, they didnt have anything else to do, so waiting was just waiting. Did one have any less idle time on normal days? Besides, the times this whole family gathered were relatively few. Even if gathering in the palace during important holidays, there were too many rules in the palace. It was better to be lively like this.

However, when the leads finally arrived, no one dared to complain to their faces. Merely just snorting a few times and curling their lips was already able to get targeted by that living Enmas chilling gaze, their bodies stiffening, awkwardly turning their head, afraid of getting targeted.

Although there were many elders, not a single one was worthy enough to make Li Hong Yuan kneel down and kowtow. To be able to let him greet by cupping his hands was already not bad.

Because there were numerous people, the things Jing Wan received were also numerous, though she also gave out quite a few things too. As such, her own servant girls, as well as Li Hong Yuans original servant girls all collectively set out. However, Jing Wan in the end still wasnt clear exactly who all will be present. The preparation work prior to marrying all were unable to be complete, for instance, which ones were younger brother-in-laws and younger sister-in-laws, and which ones were nephews and nieces. Aside from the embroidered pouch on the outside the things inside were all prepared by Li Hong Yuan. Jing Wan completely didnt expect that aside from the things for the princes and princesses, and for the imperial grandsons and granddaughters, spending a bit of thought, the rest all just simply and crudely got stuffed with banknotes.

And what further made one speechless was that these people, more than half, Li Hong Yuan simply didnt even know who they were. He wasnt even clear which generation they were from either, standing next to Jing Wan with an aloof expression.

Jing Wan rather didnt feel awkward, just to be able to conduct oneself to this degree was also a kind of ability.

It was still those words, those with a good att.i.tude, all just smilingly told Jing Wan Im Hong Yuans so and so, and those with a bad att.i.tude, that was just a stiff look, clearly very angry, yet didnt dare to speak. Under the bystanders reminder, Jing Wan also properly addressed the person. The younger generation afterwards, because they need to greet Jing Wan first, this first one was also rather smart, directly giving a self-introduction first. Thus, the ones afterwards just followed suit, the process actually much more smooth.

By the time everything was over with, another two hours had pa.s.sed. Really was quite tiring. This was precisely the result of madly spreading the branches and scattering the leaves.

What made Jing Wan relatively surprised was that there were those few whose complexion were a bit pale, appearing just like having drunk too much wine. Just, these people, majority were all at Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor yesterday. This was after drinking the wine and returning, even went crazy again at home? A certain someone was also very wild last night, and drank more wine than anyone else, yet he was still glowing in spirits. This discrepancy, wasnt it a bit too much?

How would Jing Wan know, these people were all the ones that forced Li Hong Yuan to drink, but instead got ruthlessly screwed over by Li Hong Yuan. The aftereffect of the wine was very strong. It was still a bit better if they hadnt gotten drunk at the time, if theyd just gotten drunk then, they wouldve at least had to suffer for three days. Ordinary wine dissipating soup and alcohol dissipating medicine simply didnt have any effect at all. For them to have been able to come out today, it was already considered impressive.

Actually, when they saw Li Hong Yuan, they already knew that theyd gotten screwed over. No matter how good ones alcohol tolerance was, it still wouldnt be able to reach this level. But what can they do? It was them that went forward themselves, and not like he forced them to. Thus, no matter how uncomfortable, they could only pinch their nose and accept.

Didnt know that old sixs alcohol tolerance was this incredible. We brothers should properly get together and drink again some other time. Li Hong Ming said with a smile. Since his spirit wasnt good, this charisma value also greatly reduced.

Forget it, your sister-in-law said, drinking too much wine damages the body, so in the future, need to drink less. If its specifically for drinking, then no need to look for me.

Quite a few peoples gaze subconsciously looked towards Jing Wan. When was this living Enma this obedient?

Jing Wan pursed her lips into a smile and didnt speak. Whats that, since she threw the pot at the other party, then her helping the other party shoulder trivial pots wasnt undoable either. Drinking too much wine was harmful to the body, so regardless whether it was intentionally brought out to stuff someones mouth or otherwise, having this awareness was already not bad.

Not drinking wine naturally isnt a problem, its still possible to get together. Li Hong Ming continued.

A bunch of grown men, if not drinking wine, what are you all gathering together for? Not interested.
