Chapter 586.1: The Most Difficult Position

The Most Difficult Position (1)

"Ah Yuan, you being like this........." Jing Wan wished to speak but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Li Hong Yuan lowered his eyes to look at her.

Jing Wan shook her head again, as long as he was happy. Reputation, this kind of thing, that was all pinned on the body by others. He has never been someone that cared about other people's thoughts. As such, why force him to care. Those people, all added together, still won't nearly hold as much weight as him, no? In his previous life, he was unhappy and restrained, so in this lifetime, he should just be happy and willful to his heart's content. Moreover, his status, position, and abilities all gave him the backing to be willful, no?

Of course, after becoming the emperor, tormenting the court officials wasn't a problem, but tormenting the people just won't do. As the saying goes, there isn't absolute freedom. That's why, all things need to have a bottom line.

Thinking to here, Jing Wan slowly smiled.

However, Li Hong Yuan seemingly knew what Jing Wan wanted to say, "Wan Wan, you have to know, your husband has never been a good person, liking to hold grudges, petty, and certain to take revenge, only ever remembering other people's bad and never the good, unless they are able to be completely good from beginning to end, not having any flaws."

Obviously, Le Cheng Emperor and Noble Consort Su both belonged to the type that were actually pretty good to him, but not thoroughly and unconditionally.

Li Hong Yuan had people and matters all viewed very transparently, the scales in his heart also quite clear.

"Then what about me? In your heart, is it also weighing with the same scales?" Jing Wan curiously asked.

"You? This husband would just ask for more." Li Hong Yuan propped up her waist, truly unhesitantly patting her on her butt.

This move made Jing Wan both embarrassed and angry, her complexion like a peach blossom. Opening her mouth, she directly bit down on Li Hong Yuan's shoulder.

The number of times Li Hong Yuan got bitten by her weren't few, just letting her bite as she pleased. At times like this, Jing Wan won't really bite down that hard, and moreover, it was in the middle of winter. Even for someone of Li Hong Yuan's physique, it was still wearing several layers of clothes, so it wasn't that easy to reach the flesh.

That's why, after biting, Jing Wan just rubbed her sore cheeks.

Seeing this appearance of hers, Li Hong Yuan couldn't help but laugh. His wife right now, compared to when they 'first met', the differences were increasingly big, but what to do, he seemingly just liked her more and more, liking her to the point where if something really were to happen to her, he can have the heavens overturned, the earth leveled.

The couple's time together was harmonious and blissful, but as the person that shares the bed, when it comes to understanding Li Hong Yuan, if Jing Wan claimed second, no one can claim first place. That's why, the next day, after Jing Wan sent off Li Hong Yuan, she just started pondering, what else was on his mind?

Truthfully speaking, Jing Wan felt that during this period of time, Li Hong Yuan was truly overly gentle. Even though he has always been gentle and considerate, but he would still occasionally act up, giving a cold face, or even taunting a few words. This was the norm. For him to continuously be soft and gentle, it was too unlike him.

It was just like having all the negative emotions wrapped up in a shell, not showing in the slightest. And he himself was just someone on the level of a demon king. If this dark side doesn't get vented out, instead tightly getting wrapped up, when the day comes for it to suddenly erupt, don't know how scary it will be.

TN: All

However, Jing Wan was also clearly aware that in his current state, even if she asks him, he most likely will still brush over it.

So, exactly what was he thinking inside?

Jing Wan casually stroked her stomach, a bit lost in thought. Suddenly, the child moved again. Jing Wan returned to her sense, and at the same time, had a sudden realization.

In his heart, the most important matter that was buried in the depths was probably just 'her' death, and her death, in his eyes, was related to the child. But, Jing Wan felt that if the dream she once had was really what happened in the 'past', then it actually can't be completely blamed on the child.

That's why, what he was worried about was actually her 'death flag'?! He was worried that she will 'once again' leave him!?

Jing Wan lowered her head, appearing somewhat taciturn, her heart like a pair of silk nets, having thousands of knots. 'Her death' was just the greatest knot of his heart. Regardless of how many lives he's changed, as long as that day hasn't come to pass, then the knot in his heart will just never come undone. That's why, some words, even if said, it'll still be useless.

The unrelated people in the palace got cleaned out day by day, including Le Cheng Emperor. Since he said it was having him moved to Mount Xiang, then it was just moving him to Mount Xiang, in fact, not even waiting until after Li Hong Yuan ascends the throne. And Xian Consort Wei who'd already gotten demoted to an imperial concubine also also followed over together. No matter how she cried, it was all useless. Even if bringing out her son, it was also to no avail, even directly stating to her if Le Cheng Emperor lives, she will live; if Le Cheng Emperor dies, then she will die too. That's why, if she wants to live, after arriving at the Mount Xiang Imperial Residence, anyone can neglect Le Cheng Emperor, only she can't.

Don't say that Le Cheng Emperor had that many women, yet only she was getting treated as such. On the matter of Li Hong Ming colluding with Former Wei, she similarly played an important role.

The only one left untouched in the imperial harem was probably just Shu Consort Qin.

After becoming the most special one, the days naturally won't be peaceful anymore, but right now, it was an unusual time period, and the people outside of the palace also weren't able to enter the palace. That's why, it wasn't that troubling either.

Once the palace was tidied up, Li Hong Yuan sent someone to bring Jing Wan into the palace. When he'd entered the palace, it was still using the qinwang procession, but for Jing Wan, it was just the formal phoenix carriage and procession of the empress. The allocated personnels, not a single one was missing. Originally, if not for the matters at hand, he would've even personally gone to get her.

As such, it was also high-key to the point of making people criticize. To put it more seriously, it was just severely overstepping, and should be firmly accused of misconduct. But, this was the living Enma's idea. Even Le Cheng Emperor all got sorted out by him already, would the others even dare to say anything? Moreover, on Le Cheng Emperor's side, they even have to hide the matter for him.

To reach this level of his when not even the emperor yet, he was probably the only one in all of history.

Jing Wan stared at the phoenix carriage, momentarily falling silent. Afterwards, she just calmly got on.

However, because she was six months pregnant, the people serving her were all very careful, especially those that came from the palace. That was truly hating that they can't directly become the cushion under her feet.

As such, Jing Wan carried limitless glory and supreme honor, watching the long line of people, hearing the music sounding by the ear. Although they'd already cleared out the roads in advance, thus not seeing the ordinary commoners crowding around, but because the light curtains on the two sides were not pulled shut, she was still able to see people extending their heads in the distance.

In this moment, Jing Wan seemingly finally had a distinct comprehension of the words 'mother of the world'.

At present, her status was different. After entering the palace, she naturally directly headed to Kunyi Palace, needless for her to walk on her own. And along the way, anyone who saw her all knelt down on the ground.

It really was different. She was Qi Yuan dynasty's most esteemed woman!

Kunyi Palace, it's not like Jing Wan had never been to before, but it was still mostly in the main hall. The other areas, she for the most part had never set foot in. However, from today onwards, for the many years to come, this place will belong to her.

The front hall didn't really change much. As for the bed chambers where she will reside, even though the layout was greatly different, there were still many familiar things, which goes to show the attentiveness of the person arranging. Jing Wan even saw placed on the recliner by the bed an opened book. That was the book she was reading last night. Even the page all didn't change.

When first coming to an unfamiliar environment, one will always need time to adapt. As such, even though Bai Shao and them had already married, they still all followed into the palace. The only one absent was just Fu Rong. However, her mission, or rather, her path of revenge had already started.

Jing Wan felt that there was completely no need to go this far for her. It's not like she was made from paper. Moreover, she believed that her ability to adapt was quite strong. However, regardless whether it was for her husband or the people by her side, she all shouldn't turn down their good intentions.
