Chapter 490.2: This Emperor’s Condition
Jing Wan shifted her line of sight, pouting. Although she was long used to seeing, but occasionally getting flashed suddenly, it still would make one unable to bear.
Towards his own appearance, Li Hong Yuan has always never cared about, but to be able to dazzle his own wife, he felt it was still pretty good.
Each person took up half the table, respectively starting on their own. Perhaps for the sake of coordinating with Jing Wan, Li Hong Yuan deliberately slowed his pacing.
The paper was also relatively small, so the final half finished painting didn’t take long either. At the end, they practically stopped at the same time.
They both looked over their own work, and from their expression, one can tell that they were both quite satisfied. Exchanging, and upon seeing the other party’s work, they both slightly blanked, afterwards lifting their head to look towards the other party, immediately smiling. In this moment, they really were incomparable coordinated.
Just because, both of their compositions were relatively conventional, so to want to add the other half, it was all very easy. It was more than enough to show that they both were considering for the other party, and not thinking of ways to deliberately make things difficult. What was more coincidental was that the composition of both paintings were very similar. When the paintings are finally finished, perhaps it would make one think that they were painted by the same person, even painting two similar pieces.
However, the other half originally should’ve taken more time than the first, but in reality, this wasn’t the case, similarly a smooth process, already having an idea inside.
As such, they idled away an entire half day in the study.
Afterwards, when Gong mama personally came to clean up the study, her heart finally calmed down. Wangfei and wangye didn’t really fight. She didn’t know how to paint, but her ability to appreciate was still there. The painting clearly came from both of their hands. Although wangye’s skill in gongbi exceeded her expectation, she didn’t feel it was that strange. After all, towards this wangye’s style and conduct, she has always disliked, but she didn’t deny that his talents in various aspects exceeded the ordinary.
Afterwards, Gong mama discovered that her wangfei’s gaze towards her carried a bit of peculiarity. However, she didn’t go look for the reason either, still doing what she should do, her expression not even changing, en, just strictly abiding by her own duties.
Jing Wan inwardly sighed. As expected of someone that has gone through special training, even coming from the shadow guards. This composure wasn’t something ordinary people can compare with. In the past, she even thought that Gong mama’s personality was just this way, but turns out it wasn’t the case, even having been specially trained. “Mama, let someone slightly make preparations. In the afternoon, we will be taking a trip to the Luo Manor.” After hearing about those things from her husband, even if at present, it won’t happen, Jing Wan was still unable to be indifferent, seemingly as if not going for a look, it will just be difficult to be at ease.
“Yes, wangfei.” Gong mama responded as she prepared to leave.
“Uhm, mama………..”
“Wangfei still have other instructions?” In Gong mama’s impression, whenever Jing Wan hesitated to speak………
“En, it’s just, the disguise on your face, you can slowly remove.” Gong mama in reality was far younger than what was shown by this face, her face shape also different. In the past, she didn’t know, but now that she knew, there was no reason to let her continue being like this.
Gong mama blanked, and then immediately just came to realization, knowing that some things, wangfei already knew. This perhaps was also the reason why wangye and wangfei argued previously. It goes without saying, no one would like having a ‘spy’ by one’s side for several years. However, it was obvious, in the end, wangye still managed to have wangfei pacified. “Yes.”
‘Gong mama’ was actually somewhat similar in appearance to the former female guard. Under the female guard’s influence, this current face was actually even closer to her original appearance. However, the discrepancy in age was placed there. If she were to suddenly shed away the disguise completely, in outsiders eyes, it would definitely be two different people. That’s why, removing this disguise wasn’t something that can happen overnight, need to take at least a year.
(T/N: Tbh this paragraph is too confusing even in chinese, so I feel I should explain. It’s referring to how the identity ‘Gong mama’ was actually created to look a bit similar to her appearance when she was still a guard, and over time she has secretly altered the Gong mama persona’s appearance to slowly appear more like her original face.)
When not a holiday, and not the Luo family having something, with Jin Qinwang taking Jin Wangfei to the Luo Manor, the people of the Luo family naturally were puzzled, and also worrying whether or not something happened.
Carrying this kind of mood, Luo Old Madam hastily led the Luo family out to welcome. Seeing the couple come down from the horse carriage, their faces not covered in dark clouds, she finally relaxed a little, but on the inside, she didn’t completely put it down, because she was deeply aware that this granddaughter of hers, when truly having something hidden in her heart, it won’t be easy to make out.
After going through the necessary etiquettes, the party entered the Luo Manor. Prior to stepping into the inner courtyard, the men and women went separate ways.
Luo Old Madam could no longer endure, hurriedly voicing her concerns inside.
Jing Wan inwardly realized, her suddenly returning without a reason had scared her own grandmother. Jing Wan coiled around her arm, quickly pacifying, “Grandmother, don’t worry, I just missed you, just returning for a look. There’s really nothing.”
Luo Old Madam turned her head to look at her, staring for moment. Seemingly, it really was nothing. Thus, she finally relaxed, “You’re a qin-wangfei, the imperial family’s daughter-in-law, so how can you just return to the maiden family for no reason?”
“Grandmother is disdaining, not wanting to see me?” Jing Wan pretended to be pitiful.
“What nonsense are you saying.” Luo Old Madam patted her hand, “If up to me, I naturally wish for you to appear before me everyday, but the rules of the imperial family are important. If not careful, one might just attract trouble. Compared to being able to see you, grandmother naturally further hope that you can be well in all things.”
“Grandmother is worrying too much. What kind of person is our wangye, it’s not like you don’t know. As long as he agrees, nothing will happen. Moreover, because of the Bai family’s matter, his Majesty was in the wrong, so as long as not too out of line, his Majesty all won’t question. Moreover, with the war in the northwest like a wildfire, his Majesty further doesn’t have the energy to bother with other things. As such, even if others have complaints, they still can only hold it in. Just, since I come from the Luo family, the others won’t dare to say anything about wangye and I, but afraid will say that the Luo family’s upbringing has problems, the daughters, even after marrying, all still wholeheartedly thinking of the maiden family. If grandmother hears, please don’t be angry.”
“Just a few words, why should one care. The people that say these, that is just feeling sour inside. However, you shouldn’t just rely on Jin Qinwang pampering you, and just do whatever comes to mind.”
“Grandmother’s words aren’t right. It’s precisely because I have backing, I thus should take the opportunity to do more of what I want to do.”
“Such crooked reasoning. You being like this, be careful one day wangye will just become fed up with you.” In the end, this was still what Luo Old Madam worried about the most.
“It won’t happen. Wangye and I are perfectly fine. Moreover, if he really will change, then no matter how careful, it will all happen. If not, then he will always indulge in every way possible.”
“Fine, fine, this mouth of yours, not many people can beat. As long as you feel there’s not a problem, then just do as you please.”
Jing Wan smilingly nodded, even feeling a bit proud.
Luo Old Madam inwardly sighed. This granddaughter, not only got raised delicate by Jin Qinwang, her emotions were also showing on the outside more and more, this temper also rising. This way……….was good, very good.
Speaking of Jing Wan’s changes, not only Luo Old Madam sensed.
Luo Old Madam originally wanted to be like before, chatting a bit with Jing Wan and then just have her sent off to chat with the other youngsters. However, this time, Jing Wan didn’t get sent off, “If grandmother’s spirit is not bad, then we’ll just disturb you here.”
Luo Old Madam was somewhat puzzled inside, but didn’t want to find out why, “Fine, as long as you all don’t feel this old woman is boring.”
This time, never mind Jing Wan, the others also all hurriedly denied, joking and teasing.
The atmosphere was harmonious, happy and warm. Jing Wan’s words were actually fewer than usual, just the others all didn’t notice.
In this moment, Jing Wan was actually really grateful towards her own husband. Towards the fact that the one he initially fell in love with wasn’t the current her, the barrier in her heart also slowly dispelled little by little. He remembered all the misery and tribulations, all the cruelty and darkness, and now, he was also relying on his own powers to change many things. If everything all followed the original course, then under this roof, afraid there won’t be the current laughters and joy. He said, in his past life, because she’d died tragically, grandmother cried her eyes blind. However, Jing Wan was very clear inside, it won’t just be that simple. Her life previously back in Qi’an Fu for the most part didn’t change, then it was more than enough to see that grandmother’s body was similarly subpar. That kind of heart-wrenching pain, to just from then on end one’s life was all possible.
And also the other people present. The others, she although wasn’t very clear, but her sister-in-law Sun Yi Jia had entered Kang Qinwang Manor, and ultimately wasn’t able to escape the fate of a short and unhappy life. Right now, although she had ruined her beauty, but her life was happy and fulfilling. Her daughter was more than a year old, the little girl inheriting both parents’ best features, very much a little beauty. When she grows up, perhaps she’ll just be a femme fatale. As for Sun Yi Jia, she can already prepared for the next child, perhaps even already having one in her stomach.
