Chapter 461.1: To Everyone’s Delight
In reality, Jing Wan indeed ‘suffered’, exhausting herself the entire night. Afterwards, she just listlessly and lazily cooped up in bed for an entire day, that little gaze like daggers, shooting towards Li Hong Yuan. Unfortunately, a certain someone was very thick-skinned, the defense too high, not only not affected in the slightest, he was even very refreshed. Jing Wan for a time even suspected that he was just like that energy sucking demon, his complexion unreasonably good.
Originally, the servant girls by her side has never had any thoughts towards him, yet at this time, still can’t help but blush, afterwards swiftly running far away.
Jing Wan sometimes really wanted to say, it was good that he restrained himself outside, else really don’t know how many hearts he will break, and how many girls will do something ‘shameless’. For a moment, she felt very sweet inside, but recalling her almost crippled little waist, and her legs that have become noodles, even based on her constitution of exercising all year round, all able become like this, one can imagine just how pitifully she got messed with. As such, she was also very much in ‘despair’ inside.
Li Hong Yuan sat by the bed, watching Jing Wan bury herself in the blankets, with just the top of her head remaining. He extended his hand, wishing to have the blanket pulled open, but Jing Wan tightly held on, speaking in a muffled voice, “Quickly, however far your heart is, just get lost however far away. This wangfei doesn’t want to see you right now.”
Li Hong Yuan slightly lifted his brow, hooking his lips into a smile, “However far my heart is, just get lost however far away? But, this husband’s heart is just on Wan Wan. Wan Wan’s underlying meaning is inviting this husband to stick onto you?”
Do you need to be this indecent?
Jing Wan nearly spat blood. Sure enough, she was too weak. Facing this one, regardless whether it was retorting him or teasing him, in the end, it was always her suffering defeat. If there was a time where she won, then that was certainly the other party yielding to her! Moreover, regardless of what she says, it can all end in an indecent tone. This kind of skill, probably not that many can cultivate.
Li Hong Yuan once again reached out to pull the blanket over Jing Wan’s head, still unable to pull down. Li Hong Yuan wasn’t vexed in the slightest, propping up his chin, completely calm and patient, “Seeing Wan Wan still this energetic, does it mean that this husband can still continue doing a bit of something? After all, for better or worse, still one’s own wife, so more or less need to take pity on a little, but if wife doesn’t need it, then does it mean that one completely doesn’t need to think too much?”
Jing Wan instantly had the blanket pulled down. Not being covered by an inch of cloth, it naturally was the radiance of spring suddenly appearing. Her fair skin appeared a bit pitiful, yet also penetrated with limitless eroticism. The scene made a certain diseased beast somewhat restless again.
Just, Jing Wan was completely like a dead fish, listless and weak, for a moment, still not noticing. Her gaze even foolishly landed on a certain beast’s unspeakable area, “You can still………..” get hard? Before she could finish, she just got slapped in the face by reality. In the middle of winter, where there were several layers of clothes, and even thick to begin with, that place was still able to distinctly take shape. Jing Wan’s gaze shifted upwards with a look of astonishment———-Are you really human?
Li Hong Yuan saw clearly, and towards her unspoken words, he was also quite clear, shallowly smiling, “What does Wan Wan think?”
What does she think? She thinks she wants to die! Sure enough a beast!
Li Hong Yuan saw on Jing Wan’s face an obvious sense of dread, helplessly smiling, reaching out to have her arm stuffed back under the blanket, having the blanket neatly tucked under her chin. The pleasure of close intimacy between a couple emphasized on pleasure. If one were to produce dread towards this, what pleasure is there to speak of? Actually, last night was already good enough. The reason why his body would react was completely because he’d formed a natural reaction towards her, unable to be controlled.
Li Hong Yuan stroked her head, “I won’t mess with you anymore, but eat a bit of something before sleeping again, don’t harm your body.”
Jing Wan clearly relaxed a breath, her eyes nearly just short of writing ‘good’.
“Is there something today?” Although he was normally in the manor, he still managed everything meticulously.
“En, the Imperial Noble Consort’s matters, still need to make the final arrangements. I prepare to write a memorandum to present up.”
Jing Wan nodded, “Already confirmed the date to start construction?”
“I already ordered someone to look over. Most likely on imperial father’s side, the date he let someone look over is also that same day. However, afraid, there will be people hindering this matter, so perhaps the time might even shift ahead.” Speaking of this, Li Hong Yuan’s eyes were like covered in dark fog.
“Shift ahead?” If a pretty good date, a certain someone should be looking at a relatively close date, but for the people causing trouble, even if needing to shift ahead of time, it still won’t be a bad date, because Le Cheng Emperor won’t approve. A thought suddenly hit her, “The earlier date, it’s the second of the second lunar month?”
Li Hong Yuan lightly nodded.
She knew what he cared about, but Jing Wan still unconcernedly smiled, “Then just let it be the second of the second lunar month. It’s not that big of a deal. Just, I’m worried that the time will be a bit tight. The sites close to the capital were still okay, but the ones farther away, once the decree is issued, the local area will still need to make preparations. If some people were to then tamper with it, afraid it will cause resentment among the people.”
“The chosen sites, we already had an idea inside. Don’t worry, the situation will be contained. Just, disrupting your birthday, that absolutely can’t be forgiven.” This was his first time holding a birthday celebration for his wife. Anything out of line will all incur Li Hong Yuan’s wrath.
Jing Wan inwardly lit a candle for certain people inside, best pray for good luck.
Afterwards, Li Hong Yuan watched Jing Wan eat a little, and then went on to take care of his own business. Jing Wan continued nestling in bed, falling asleep.
Just as Li Hong Yuan predicted, the starting date of construction for the ceremonial altars was set on the second of the second lunar month. It was just a daughter-in-law’s birthday, that’s all. In Le Cheng Emperor’s eyes, it naturally wasn’t as important as the Imperial Noble Consort. Besides, in his eyes, these two things simply had nothing to do with one another.
The imperial decree was sent to the various regions first thing. Fortunately, the people of the Ministry of Works had long departed for the various sites, taking care of the early preparations, else it really would be a frenzy.
Originally, among the people, although there was already rumors of the Imperial Noble Consort being an immortal fairy of the ninth heaven, but what did that have to do with them? Can it let the commoners fill their stomachs and dress warmly? One of the able-bodied worker in the home got divided out to go serve in forced labor, and this forced labor was even outside of normal forced labor, how can the people be happy?
Just, when they finally received news, it really did make people pleasantly surprised. Although it was forced labor in name, turns out, one can still receive a wage, and moreover, even triple the normal wage. Not only so, there was three meals a day, plus two snack breaks, filling and also having shining white fatty meat. For quite a few commoners, in a month, they all may not necessarily be able to see meat or fish. And many people completely don’t know what it feels like to be genuinely full. This matter was just like meat falling from the skies. Moreover, this was clearly written out on the announcement. As such, they don’t need to worry about the authorities saying one thing on the surface, but doing something else behind their backs.
As such, the people that were originally still complaining, all rushed forward one after another. After all, many families had more than one able-bodied worker. Even if not wanting the wages, just going for the meals everyday, they would all be very willing.
Unfortunately, at this time, the officials stood out and stated that it was just one from each family, not taking more. Moreover, if there’s just one able-bodied worker in the family, they won’t accept.
Great, now, between brothers, between fathers and sons, that was just fighting over this one spot.
The people that were originally attempting to cause unrest all felt that Li Hong Yuan was too crafty, beating their chest and stomping their feet, but before their anger subsided, they just learned of this situation, starting to sneer again. Jin Qinwang caused fathers and sons, and brothers to be at odds with one another, and if serious, might even result in death————Of course, even if there wasn’t this kind of situation, they can still make this kind of situation appear. As such, this kind of dirty water, they refused to believe that Jin Qinwang can still clean up. Just, these people weren’t able to laugh for long………………
