Chapter 610.1: Kidnapping Imperial Mother

Kidnapping Imperial Mother (1)

The 'little crown prince' used the evening meal to act spoiled and cute in all kinds of ways, never mind wanting Jing Wan to help him get this and that, he even asked to be fed from time to time.

Jing Wan was also astonished. Did her son get stimulated by something, to actually dare cause mischief in front of his imperial father? One has to know, this was practically just equal to courting death.

Jing Wan rather wanted to see exactly what he was up to. That's why, for the most part, she all smilingly followed along, and then occasionally glanced at her husband. A certain someone seemingly was also a bit strange. Never mind signs of acting up, his expression was even quite tranquil. No matter how one looked at it, there all seems to be a problem.

Afterwards, the 'little crown prince' not only caused mischief, he even began 'pandering', very diligently putting food in his imperial father and imperial mother's bowl. Comparatively speaking, towards Li Hong Yuan's taste, he seemingly understood even more than Jing Wan. This actually wasn't that strange. Regardless whether it was the 'little crown prince' or the original host, they all took after Li Hong Yuan's taste, a typical carnivore. As for Jing Wan, right now, in terms of diet, she for the most part didn't have any preferences, thus didn't have anything she abstained from eating. Moreover, half the meal had already gone by. When the palace maids were filling Jing Wan's bowl, he had observed it all. That's why, there won't be any mistakes.

Jing Wan naturally gave face, eating everything her son picked for her, and Li Hong Yuan also very much gave face. In reality, just in terms of this meal, his son was even more considerate this his wife, because as long as it was eating together with Jing Wan, the amount of vegetables Li Hong Yuan would eat certainly won't be little. He although won't flat out refuse to eat vegetables, just compared to meat dishes, it was also just ten to twenty percent, and Jing Wan will absolutely add at least another twenty to thirty percent on top of this foundation. The things his wife puts in his bowl, even if disliking, still need to eat, but if it's the palace servants serving him, they absolutely won't dare to pick from the vegetable dishes. Even though after all these years, he was already used to it, he was still unable to become fond of vegetables. And Jing Wan, for the sake of his health, absolutely won't yield on this bit.

And now, great, with his son 'serving' him, his wife didn't move anymore. For the first time, Li Hong Yuan felt that having a son actually still had some use.

And for the 'little crown prince', because of having once witnessed one imperial father for the most part unable touch any meat and oil due to his health, seeing this one right now being able to eat, he naturally just continuously filled the bowl. That feeling was just like as if what his other imperial father wasn't able to eat, he wanted to make up for on this imperial father.

Jing Wan slightly narrowed her eyes. Her son actually figured out the correct way to curry favor with his imperial father? And because his imperial father's mood relaxed a little, his guts just kept growing? Should she just let them continue harmoniously developing like this, or for the sake of her husband's health, firmly put a stop to her son's action?

However, foolish son, even if you win favor when eating, after climbing down the dining table, your imperial father can still change face.

However, this meal can continue like this. Just a single meal won't affect the health that much.

It was obvious, the 'little crown prince' knew what the situation might be like after the meal, so he also ran away very quickly. The excuse was even very proper, going back to copy the books, and afterwards, go to sleep.

"He's truly becoming more and more crafty." Jing Wan said with a laugh.

Upon hearing, Li Hong Yuan lightly glanced at Jing Wan, declining to comment.

Jing Wan also got baffled by his glance. This man wouldn't be so bored as to 'settle the score after autumn', right?

In reality, Li Hong Yuan indeed wasn't that bored. He simply didn't plan on doing anything to the 'little crown prince'. From the looks of it, the father and son relationship seemingly really eased a little.

But, the actual situation? Truthfully speaking, Jing Wan wasn't able to make out for the time being.

Because, she discovered that her son's guts really were growing rapidly. Whenever catching the opportunity, he would just pounce onto her. Even when his old man was present, it was still the same. But, every time, he was all quite clever, cleanly pulling back before his old man got angry. Afterwards, he was even able to use all kinds of ways to slightly quell his old man's anger. One has to know, a certain someone wasn't that easy to win over. However, her son was like as if he very much understood his old man, able to see results every time. Even though it was just a tiny bit, it was still quite impressive.

TN: All

In addition to this, Jing Wan even inadvertently learn that her son actually went before his old man even when she wasn't around. Of course, as for what it was for, Jing Wan was unable to find out. However, no matter how one looked at it, it was all a bit unusual. That boy, perhaps didn't fear his old man that much, but when face to face, he was usually always a good baby, reducing his presences as much as possible. Now, this is having eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts, daring to voluntarily go provoke?

But, to say he was different from usual, at other times, he was still that mischievous manner, causing trouble and mischief everywhere. Even the roof was all about to have his footprint.

That's why, rather than say he was unusual, Jing Wan just felt that this stinky brat was even more out of control, his destructive power growing another level. Under ordinary circumstances, as long as that brat doesn't involve onto her, a certain someone won't bother with him. Did that brat receive guidance from someone, figuring out this?

Jing Wan massaged her somewhat swollen temples. This stinky brat, if you were to really lecture him, he actually very much had propriety, not really causing any actual damage. If you were to say a few more words to him, he would just act spoiled with you in all kinds of ways, and sometimes, that attitude in admitting his mistakes was also extremely good. After hearing his sweet words, no matter how big of an anger, it can all dispel.

Jing Wan just felt that she was increasingly helpless towards him. If it continues like this, in the future, he certainly will become a walking disaster, bringing 'disaster' to the court officials, and also to those tender young ladies. Right now, his mouth was already this sweet. In the future, when using it to coax girls, even if discarding his status, afraid there will still be many young girls that will be hell-bent on him. That's why, everything else aside, on this bit, she definitely must keep a watch on.

No, can't wait until the future, she needs to start taking preventative measures now. After all, there were quite a few people that have ideas about him. Whenever there was a palace banquet, there was always quite a few young girls around his age entering the palace. And because their ages were all still small, it wasn't good to block them from interacting. Those young girls perhaps were pure and simple, but the adults behind them weren't pure and simple.

As soon as Jing Wan thought of it like this, the direction seemingly just changed again, worrying that her son will just get hooked away by a little girl at a young age. That's why, this education needs to start early.

Thus, when the 'little crown prince' got pulled aside by his imperial mother for a 'heart-to-heart talk', at first, he was still a bit dumbstruck, but slowly, he also understood. Even though Jing Wan said it rather tactfully and reservedly, and under normal circumstances, an ordinary five year old child certainly won't be able to understand, and Jing Wan's goal was to just plant the seed of influence, and not settle the matter in one go, but unfortunately, the current him was an adult on the inside, and even the power-wielding emperor. In his ears, his imperial mother's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

How to put it, on the inside, he actually was somewhat between laughter and tears. Isn't imperial mother thinking too much? All his sweet talk was just used on imperial mother. He wasn't the least bit interested in coaxing other women. Even though, on that other side, whenever there was a palace banquet, there were quite a few young girls that wanted to have a chance encounter with him in the imperial palace. Unfortunately, they didn't even have the opportunity to come near him. And the palace maids that want to climb his bed, they directly got sent to the Department of Punishment by him. He knew that in private, there were definitely people that had unpleasant guesses about him, but so what?
