Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 406: The Living Enma’s Second Coming

Chapter 406: The Living Enma’s Second Coming

Li Hong Yuan shifted his line of sight after a glance, “This mouth of yours seems to be more nimble than your fist.”
He Shi Hai shivered again. Just now, he was even a bit proud, even preparing to go before Jin Qinwang to show off his accomplishments. Yet in the end?
If he’d long known, he would’ve ended the fight quickly, directly having the person beaten crippled first, what was he doing wasting that much breath? As soon as he thought of what he might face, the tyrant instantly turned into a tortoise, listlessly hanging his head and drooping his ears, silently offering up a bitter tear for himself.
Seeing He Shi Hai like this, Jing Wan lifted her hand to cover her mouth, covering up her laugh. During this period of time, she and He Shi Hai can be considered to have interacted. The initial impression He Shi Hai gave others was just an absolute little tyrant, but in reality, this person’s inherent nature really wasn’t bad. Aside from being extremely obsessed with martial arts, it was just being a bit overly ‘straightforward’. Afterwards, he was also a qualifying fanboy. Towards Li Hong Yuan, that was adequately just ‘my idol may step on me thousands of times, but I still treat my idol like my first love’. Regardless of how miserably he got sorted out by Li Hong Yuan, he would always fully revive on the spot in seconds.
One’s own had the provoking party sorted out, but one still can’t be too haughty, no? Le Cheng Emperor let someone invite an imperial physician. Everything else aside, regardless whether this person lives or dies, one still need to put forward the formalities. “………………Is there anyone that still want to exchange moves? Regardless of which country, all doesn’t matter.” He paused for a moment, “Take care to not overdo it.”
Surprisingly, there really were those that continued to come forward, afterwards, directly picking their opponent. This kind of situation generally always happen between two countries that had grudges, and probably because He Shi Hai was too scary, the other countries no longer dared to pick a fight with Qi Yuan. Additionally, Le Cheng Emperor arranged people to keep watch, so as to pull apart in case two people get too heated in a fight. This kind of situation wasn’t like when Li Hong Yuan and He Shi Hai fought for the first time after all, and moreover, there weren’t any weapons, so pulling apart was a piece of cake.
Since the rest had nothing to do with Qi Yuan, Le Cheng Emperor just unrolled the painting scroll in hand, turning to chat with Jing Wan again, “This painting style, this emperor has never once seen before, where did you learn this from?”
Speaking of which, Le Cheng Emperor not knowing about the gongbi style actually wasn’t that strange. Unless an imperial family member that was sufficiently proficient in the style, otherwise who would run before him to mention this for no reason.
Jing Wan lightly smiled, “Actually, imperial father, this painting style was invented by one’s elder brother, and only just last year did the style gradually mature.”
To say Le Cheng Emperor wasn’t astonished, that was definitely false. Shortly after, he deeply sighed, “Beloved Minister Luo’s abilities in itself were already outstanding to begin with, upright in conduct, and the Luo family’s family style was also first class, the younger generation also all very outstanding as well. You all are all good children.”
Jing Wan smiled but didn’t speak. These words weren’t easy to receive. However, Le Cheng Emperor didn’t intend for Jing Wan to say anything either.
Afterwards, Le Cheng Emperor began asking about their trip to the Pei Clan’s main residence in Jiangnan again. It wasn’t surprising for him to still mention after all this time. Mainly, it was because when asking that son about this matter, it was purely looking to get angered. As for Yu Zhong Qing, although he indeed reported in immense detail, he was still a man, and also not an involved party, so there were certainly disparities in between.
Speaking of this matter, they’d long strung together their ‘testimonies’. What can be said, and what can’t be said, Jing Wan was long clear, and won’t even make a careless mistake.
Have to say, Jing Wan was a woman after all, so she was even more attentive towards the details. Moreover, this speaking technique wasn’t something Yu Zhong Qing can compare to. Additionally, she also mentioned quite a bit of the matters regarding the Imperial Noble Consort prior to marrying. Although it was mostly learned from the Pei clan leader, it was all good things, so Le Cheng Emperor naturally liked listening to.
If it was in the past, in front of Le Cheng Emperor, the Imperial Noble Consort was for the most part a taboo-like existence, but ever since Li Hong Yuan had the relationship between them beautified, Le Cheng Emperor was just like as if forgetting certain things he’d once done, hating that he can’t let the entire world all know how great his relationship with the Imperial Noble Consort was. And Jing Wan also borrowed Li Hong Yuan’s name to ‘inquire’ about matters after the Imperial Noble Consort entered the palace. The atmosphere between them can be said to be harmonious and warm.
Le Cheng Emperor this while revealed a smile again, and moreover, it was even the particularly amicable kind. Ignoring the dragon gown on him, he was just like an old man that was already enjoying his retirement, even the kind where his children and grandchildren all particularly liked revolving around him.
Jing Wan took it all in, but on the inside, she really didn’t know how to describe this feeling.
While the below was energetically sparring, Jing Wan and Le Cheng Emperor were already in their own world, and not at all surprisingly, the people watching them were actually far more than the people watching the sparring below.
Don’t know how many people were jealous and resentful towards Jing Wan. Among them, there really wasn’t anyone that was able to be this close with Le Cheng Emperor before. Even Le Cheng Emperor most favored princess all didn’t have this kind of honor.
By obtaining Le Cheng Emperor’s favor, how great of a benefit one can obtain, that was something understood by all. That’s why, the others were certainly all feeling sour inside, and also cursing in every way, such as, ‘acting clever to get what one wants’, ‘flatterer’, ‘the heart devious’, and so on. However, no matter what they thought, they still didn’t dare to reveal it on the surface. Moreover, from today onwards, Jing Wan certainly will become Le Cheng Emperor’s second favorite. In fact, it was even possible for her to become the number one favorite.
Firstly, she was a woman, and also his daughter-in-law, so naturally won’t retort him like Li Hong Yuan, and can even nicely chat with him. Secondly, she was the only one capable of painting the Imperial Noble Consort inside Le Cheng Emperor’s heart. By having this one painting, it was possible for there to be a second, a third, and so on. It was practically just like clutching onto Le Cheng Emperor’s lifeline, so wouldn’t Li Hong Yuan all have to move aside? That’s why, the day where Jing Wan can walk sideways through the capital was also just around the corner.
The same great hall, yet ‘two piece of heaven’, just respectively passed like that.
Prior to the banquet feast, there was an hour break, so Le Cheng Emperor naturally just impatiently left. This while, he was in a hurry to be alone with his Imperial Noble Consort.
Jing Wan returned to Li Hong Yuan’s side. Neither of them said anything, just mutually exchanging an understanding glance.
An hour later, certain people finished taking care of business, returning to Qian Chen Hall again. Because of having long made arrangements, at this time, there naturally won’t be any troubles.
A row of slender palace maids brought in all kinds of incomparably delicate dishes. However, in this middle of winter, these things only appeared pretty. Chilly and cold, how many people would voluntarily extend their chopsticks? An entire table of dishes, at least over half will just return as how they came.
However, today’s dishes were nevertheless somewhat different. There were four main dishes that were actually placed on a specially made little stove, and a smoke-less charcoal was placed inside the stove. While the below burned, steam emitted from the top, the fragrance assailing the nose. Those that originally didn’t have an appetite, at this time, all felt a bit hungry.
Quite a few people felt that the imperial kitchen this year finally produced a genius. Why didn’t they long think of this? In past years, it was all cold, cold and cold. For the most part, it was continuously starving, while also having to endure the cold.
Le Cheng Emperor slowly arrived late. His mental state appeared somewhat conflicting, seemingly a bit dejected, yet also seemingly a bit excited.
The banquet feast began. Everyone all toasted a cup. This meal was actually not bad, just it was a bit intense on the drinking.
Le Cheng Emperor didn’t refuse anyone, and in the end, naturally got drunk.
Jing Wan took it all in, secretly thinking to herself, ‘Looks like the plan all don’t need to wait until nighttime.’
T/N: Currently it’s just the afternoon banquet.
