Chapter 219.3: Learning From Other's Mistake, Sightseeing

Jing Wan tilted her head, excuse me, can you not speak this closely? When speaking with a normal tone, it was already very much against the rules, so lowering your voice like this, what do you want to do? "Fetch? How does wangye plan on fetching? Forcibly take?"

"Forcibly taking to give to you, wouldn't that let others denounce you? If they were to just curse this prince, it rather doesn't matter."

All say Jin Qinwang, aside from a good face, didn't have any good points, and this scholarly learning was naturally also included among these. However, Jing Wan dared to conclude that this wasn't the case. Since he has the words put out, then he's definitely able to use conventional methods to have the thing obtained, but if he really does that, won't the things he's been deliberately concealing be exposed? Shaking her head, "Just thought it was quite pretty, don't really want it."

Li Hong Yuan seemingly could tell what Jing Wan was thinking, "It's fine." So what if he exposed some things?

"Really don't want." Jing Wan said, her eyes spinning, and then suddenly lowered her voice, "Could it be that wangye wants to let me face a beauty day and night?" Her eyes carrying a smile and three part tease.

Li Hong Yuan's face instantly just darkened.

Jing Wan covered her mouth and laughed exceptionally carefreely.

To be able to let her be this happy, Li Hong Yuan's complexion actually relaxed, reaching out wanting to touch her face.

Seeing this, Jing Wan immediately moved back. Even if tonight men and women walking together won't cause any rumors or slanders to spread, but if too intimate, it definitely still won't do. "Wangye, let's just go." Saying this, her eyes and brows carried a smile as she retreated a few steps before turning around and leisurely heading forward.

By the time they walked far, behind the lantern shelf next to them, a person walked out. It was precisely Sun Yi Lin. He didn't call upon his friends, nor stayed together with his brothers. At his side, it was just a servant boy following.

The servant boy somewhat nervously looked at him. He knew how deep his young master's feelings were towards Luo third miss. That kind of scene just now, for him, afraid was just like stabbing a knife into his heart. Nowadays, the smiles on his face were becoming increasingly rare, and often times, he was able to remain silent from morning to night. To say he wasn't worried inside, that was definitely impossible.

Sun Yi Lin knew that tonight, he might encounter Jing Wan, and he also knew that by her side was most likely Jin Qinwang, but he still came. He didn't head to the Thousand Lantern Building during the moon worshiping rites, wanting to try and see whether or not he had that fate with her. After all, this area wasn't small. Even if one were to deliberately look for, one still may not necessarily be able to find. Reality proved that this 'fate' still existed.

Ignoring the pain coming from his heart, Sun Yi Lin had his gaze casted towards that lantern. A moment later, he walked over.

Sun Yi Lin's appearance bought about an even greater cheer. Everyone all held extremely high expectations towards him.

In reality, Sun Yi Lin indeed didn't disappoint them. Playing with words, he still has never lost before.

Others couldn't even pass the first half of the first trial with painstaking effort, yet he successively passed all three without even stopping to breath, usually just blurting out the answer, without even needing to think.

In the end, holding the beauty lantern, he finally revealed his first smile tonight, causing numerous young ladies of the boudoir to blush. In the recent few months, there hadn't been any news of him at all, yet when finally meeting again, he seemingly was even more attractive. This kind of person, don't know what kind of girl would be able to match with him. However, the Ding Duchess seemingly wasn't a good mother-in-law.

Sun Yi Lin left the tall platform, having the beauty lantern handed to his servant boy to hold, walking in the opposite direction of Jing Wan and them.

"Young master, this lantern, tomorrow send it to the Luo family?"

"Leave it, what younger sister needs, she naturally has her husband taking care of it."

The servant boy quietly shut his mouth.

On the other side, Jing Wan had stepped onto the stone bridge, gazing out towards the nearby lake. Countless water lanterns passed through from below the bridge, all flowing into the lake. There was actually a kind of 'converging with the stars in the sky' feeling, unimaginably beautiful.

"This lake, was naturally formed?" Jing Wan curiously asked.

"No, the Great Ancestor ordered had someone to dig it."

Jing Wan exclaimed in admiration inside. This Great Ancestor Emperor although was born as a commoner, he still very much had taste. The willow trees on the lakeside gently swaying in the wind, the pavilions and buildings, the waning lights, this can be considered a scenic spot for dates. Don't ask why Jing Wan just thought of this, and not drinking water. The capital simply didn't lack water, and having a river channel was rather convenient for quite a few people, but this lake was purely excessive.

(T/N: Specifically this type of building, you can also see the stone bridge in the background. This is a very typical set up in chinese architecture.)

"Those boats, are pleasure boats?" The boats on the lake, there were more than ten, and the worst ones all had two levels. At this time, they were slowly floating about on the lake, similarly brightly lit, beautiful and magnificent.

Li Hong Yuan glanced at her, seemingly not too clear of her meaning. "Yes."

"Which one is Huaiqin Pleasure Boat?" Jing Wan was exceptionally curious.

"What is Wan Wan asking this for?"

"Wasn't it said that the Head Courtesan of Huaiqin Pleasure Boat fell for my third brother? Moreover, heard that Huaiqin Pleasure Boat is wangye's, and that the girls inside can only take guests after you have finished picking?" Jing Wan looked to him, seemingly purely curious, yet also seemingly teasing.

Li Hong Yuan's expression was a bit hard to read, "Who would have this kind of thing said to an inner manor young lady to hear?"

"I not only heard, I even want to see for myself."

Unfortunately, pleasure boats that were brothels, those were all forbidden places for girls. To dare try going, the saliva of criticism will be able to drown you to death.

"After marrying, this prince will take you." With him taking, where couldn't they go.

Jing Wan was surprised, shortly after smiling. This man, really is.......... "The time is getting late, let's go back?"

Li Hong Yuan nodded in agreement.

Rather, they didn't go back the way they came, instead choosing the other side of the river.

When returning to the front of the Thousand Lantern Building again, the tiled pagoda had already thoroughly began burning, just like a pile of bonfire, yet far more beautiful than a bonfire. And moreover, those tiles actually burned red, having a kind of 'like red jade in fire' aesthetic, far surpassing her original expectations.

At this time, running into the other wangyes and wangfeis seemingly wasn't all that strange either.

Rui Qinwang invited Jin Qinwang for a drink. Li Hong Yuan surprisingly agreed, turning his head and saying to Jing Wan, "Why don't you go back and rest sooner, tomorrow your family still has things to be busy with."

Jing Wan nodded. Rather than chatting with Rui Wangfei, Jing Wan was further willing to go back and sleep. Thus, without another word, she just bid her farewells with them. Afterwards, under the servant girls' escort, she just left.

"Old six, this is curbing your bad habits?" Rui Qinwang warmly smiled.

Towards this kind of sounding out, Li Hong Yuan has always been too lazy to acknowledge. For Li Hong Ming to carry a bit of sincerity towards him, afraid Noble Consort Su told him everything. Heh, ghost child? The mountains and rivers, the throne, those were all fought for with blood.

When Jing Wan returned to the horse carriage, it was more or less around the agreed on time. After all, several of the younger brothers and sisters were still small and can't play too late. Thus, she just waited in the carriage.

Sure enough, not long after, they all appeared one after another. However, Yu Yao actually didn't want to go home.

Her coquettish tantrums, Jing Wan was also helpless towards, just discussing with Yu Yao's wet nurse to send a person back to the Grand Elder Princess Manor to report, and having her taken back to the Luo Manor. Yu Yao was incessantly happy, and immediately after, just abandoned Jing Wan, going to look for her two little friends to play.

This was throwing away after using? Jing Wan couldn't help cursing with a laugh, finally discovering two people missing, ".............Where did they go?"

"Already went back." Luo Jing Bo said.

"Went back?" Jing Wan looked to the side. There was indeed a horse carriage missing, and the carriage driver also assuredly expressed.

Since that's the case, there was nothing to say.

However, not long after Jing Wan and them returned to the Luo Manor, they just heard, that short-sighted miss from the Gu family was near death.
