Chapter 614.1: Father and Son Talk, The Truth
Father and Son Talk, The Truth (1)
What Le Cheng Emperor was thinking, the ‘little crown prince’ naturally didn’t know. However, even if he knew, he would also be unconcerned. If in a good mood, he perhaps would even tell him, ‘When time comes, why don’t you see for yourself, the premise being that your life is sturdy enough, able to live until that time.’
Upon seeing Jing Wan, the ‘little crown prince’ became that innocent and naive five year old child again, acting cute and spoiled with Jing Wan.
“And now? Where else do you want to go?” Jing Wan lovingly smiled.
“Let’s return to the palace. If we still don’t go back, imperial father will skin me.” The ‘little crown prince’ defeatedly said.
Truthfully speaking, for his imperial father to be able to let them stay out for this many days, he all felt it was quite unbelievable. Thus, it was better to not challenge his imperial father’s bottom line. If they really were to wait until he sends someone to come ‘invite’ them back, the ‘little crown prince’ felt that he probably won’t be able to see his imperial mother ever again.
The more they interacted, the more he felt that his current imperial father was hard to fathom. That other one, although entirely not like a living person, his temper also not good, but he was actually quite easy to understand. This current one, although well and alive, his thoughts, don’t even bother contemplating. The only one that can accurately grasp was probably just imperial mother. Because it was imperial mother, even if wrong, imperial father can still turn around his thoughts to match her, letting her be right. As for others, it was probably just the complete opposite. Even if right, it’ll still be wrong, casually playing you to death. ————-This probably was the biggest difference between the ‘living’ and the ‘dead’.
That’s why, the ‘little crown prince’ felt that even if he has already been the emperor for two years, compared to his imperial father, his skills were still far too lacking. Wrestling with his imperial father, this kind of thing, even if giving him a hundred guts, he still won’t easily dare to do, especially in this current beansprout body. That’s why, one must have perception, having the propriety grasped well. This time, daring to do something like ‘kidnap imperial mother’, his awareness has already reached new heights.
Thinking about how pitiful he will be later, the ‘little crown prince’ was completely unable to ‘sympathize’ and be ‘jealous’ of the original host.
The ‘love’ that came from his imperial father, not anyone can withstand.
“Don’t worry, you have imperial mother.” For the sake of her son, Jing Wan has already decided to ‘bravely sacrifice herself’. Even though defending her son, she most likely will ‘add to the offense’, but at most it was just being tired for a few days, not that big of a deal. —————Thinking of it like this, Jing Wan already faintly felt her waist going sore and her legs going limp.
The ‘little crown prince’ was moved to tears. This was just the difference between having a mother and not having a mother!
However, he was the one that was at ‘fault’, so how could he let imperial mother shoulder for him? If he really were to do that, he will also end up ‘adding to the offense’.
“Imperial mother, forget it, imperial father certainly will be even madder. If the original plan was to just spank me once, then perhaps, when time comes, it’ll be spanking me twice.”
Jing Wan had to admit, this was something that will absolutely happen. That’s why, ‘pleading’ and whatnot will just aggravate the situation the more she pleads. Thus, it was better to just ‘respectively receive their punishment’.
The mother and son pair looked to one another, both having ‘melancholy’ written in their eyes.
Jing Wan felt that she was quite ‘pathetic’. In that man’s hands, how come she was just unable to climb out on top?
As for the ‘little crown prince’, en, climbing out on top and whatnot, he has never considered before.
TN: All
When going back, the ‘little crown prince’ sat by Jing Wan’s side, propping up his little chin, “Imperial mother, say, during out trip outside, how come we didn’t come across something like someone taking advantage of their position to bully others? I originally was even thinking of showing off, yet didn’t even get the opportunity.”
“The matter of us leaving the palace, how many officials of the court do you think don’t know?”
“So, they all had their own family’s wastrels all locked up? And without these people, the little followers below will also catch wind of the situation, staying cooped up at home and not come out?”
It was very obvious, the reality was indeed as such. Offending her Highness the Empress and his Highness the Crown Prince, this kind of possibility, needs to be firmly strangled to death in the cradle.
Clearly knowing everything, yet the entire capital was still calm and tranquil. Tsk, under imperial father’s rule, sure enough, no one dared to cause trouble.
When returning to Kunyi Palace, Jing Wan pulled along the ‘little crown prince’, the mother and son pair happily chatting, appearing that wonderful, all the way until……..
“You’re back? This emperor thought that the two of you were preparing to roam off to the ends of the world.” Li Hong Yuan held a book in hand, half leaning against the recliner. By his side, there were even fresh fruits prepared, appearing quite comfortable. When he spoke, he didn’t even lift his eye.
The ‘little crown prince’ quivered, and Jing Wan also strangely felt guilty. Their thoughts in this moment miraculously coincided: ‘Why didn’t anyone tell them the demon king was here?’
Alright, the great demon king was actually the real boss here. If he gives the order, who would dare to not follow.
Jing Wan patted her son, “Tian Lin, go back to wash up first, imperial mother wants to talk a little with your imperial father.”
The ‘little crown prince’ looked to this one and then looked to that one, “This son will take one’s leave.”
Jing Wan approached Li Hong Yuan and sat down, directly leaning against him, “Ah Yuan…” In that moment, her entire body seemingly all went limp.
Li Hong Yuan reached out to have her taken into his arms. He obviously won’t really ‘be angry’ with Jing Wan.
He had the book in hand tossed aside, kissing her forehead, “What’s wrong?”
“Just suddenly feel a bit tired.” Jing Wan had her eyes closed, her breathing light and shallow.
“Some things are unavoidable, don’t think too much.” Li Hong Yuan obviously knew the reason why Jing Wan was ‘tired’.
In reality, they were already well-aware inside, just they didn’t point out, that’s all. However, it also didn’t need to be pointed out. On this matter, there won’t exist any misunderstandings.
Jing Wan leaned against him for a while, “I’ll go wash up and change.”
“En.”
Once Jing Wan left, Li Hong Yuan sat for a moment, “Someone come, let the crown prince go to the imperial study after cleaning up.”
“Yes, your Majesty.”
When the ‘little crown prince’ learned that he got called to the imperial study, he just knew, some things have come. Coming to this point now, his heart instead calmed down, letting the palace servants dress him. And the palace servants, at this moment, seemingly also sensed their master’s change. Clearly, he was still the same person, still that face, but they strangely felt somewhat stifled.
After getting dressed, the ‘little crown prince’ tidied his collar and cuffs again on his own, slightly lifting his chin, his gaze forward, prideful and noble. Moving his feet, his steps weren’t big, but it still manifested a kind of calm confidence.
For Gong mama, some things, because of not knowing, even if feeling a bit puzzled inside, she still didn’t think too much of it. However, his Highness’s changes right now truly were too obvious. Her brows subconsciously furrowed.
When the ‘little crown prince’ arrived at the imperial study, Li Hong Yuan was already waiting there. “This subject-son greets imperial father.”
In the imperial study, there was just the two of them left, and Li Hong Yuan this time didn’t bicker over his self-address again, very seriously measuring him, “Li Tian Lin.”
