Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 391.2: Look For Jin Qinwang For Help

However, Jing Wan was also quite self-aware, generally just watching most of the time, and when encountering something she didn’t understand, she would just ask. Just, in certain small areas, she would also insert a few words. On matters that concerned the general state of affairs, she firmly kept her mouth shut, observing from the side, earnestly learning. Perhaps it won’t be put to use now, but it didn’t mean that in the future, it will also be completely useless. Moreover, Jing Wan also wanted to stand alongside him, taking responsibility together with him when encountering something, and not entirely be protected under his wing. Even if Li Hong Yuan won’t mind for his whole life, she still won’t allow herself to be ‘useless’.

And Li Hong Yuan didn’t mind her participating, patiently teaching her. He didn’t necessarily not have the same thoughts as her.

He gave the opportunity, and Jing Wan also wasn’t slow, unable to learn, so why not grasp the opportunity?

In reality, Jing Wan was actually a very outstanding student, learning quickly, and usually can even infer many from one. Given some more time, she will be able to become a qualifying politician. Perhaps she still can’t contend with those old foxes, but dealing with others was more than enough. What Jing Wan didn’t know was that right now, she was already helping Li Hong Yuan take care of certain things. Those that Li Hong Yuan let her look at first, and afterwards, had her give her opinion, on the surface, Li Hong Yuan seemingly also looked over again, but in reality, it was completely handling according to Jing Wan’s idea. Jing Wan herself was indifferent, but the shadow guards that were directly in charge of the matter nevertheless were the most clear, and very much shocked inside. However, it was mostly feeling deeply moved. Should say, as expected of master? This eyesight was just impressive.

For people like them, they rather didn’t have thoughts like ‘women can’t participate in politics’. In any case, as long as it was master’s decision, then that was just correct. Master’s orders, they just needed to obey.

“These words, don’t need to let a third person know.” Jing Wan tapped the tip of Li Hong Yuan’s nose.

“Look at what Wan Wan is saying, would this husband even go have a heart to heart talk with someone?” He didn’t mind the people loyal to him knowing, but there was no reason to voluntarily tell them, no? “It’s getting late, we should go back to rest.” Li Hong Yuan directly had Jing Wan picked up.

Jing Wan struggled a little, but as a result, just got held even tighter by him. Thus, she was also too lazy to do anything else. Her two arms wrapped around his neck, as she softly whispered something by his ear.

Jing Wan’s every word, he would all give a response to, even if it’s just letting out an ‘en’.

And in the following days, Li Hong Yuan really just stayed in Jin Qinwang Manor, not stepping out the door. The outside can be said to be chaotically busy. While he was idle and carefree, those that were busy to death instead even had to feel gratified. Jin Qinwang although was reckless on normal days, but during crucial times, he still knew propriety. Their demand towards him was also just this.

Right now, Jing Wan was also calm and collected as well. Towards Li Hong Yuan staying in the manor with nothing to do, she also didn’t have any complaints, and further didn’t feeling there was anything wrong with him accompanying her all day long.

Towards mounting a painting, Jing Wan had foundation, just it wasn’t particularly good. That’s why, what Li Hong Yuan needed to do was to just point out the areas she was lacking in, then help amend. After Jing Wan polish up on her own some more, believe that the situation will naturally improve a lot.

For Jing Wan, Li Hong Yuan was definitely a good teacher, meticulous and patient, but also diligent. Sometimes, he was even more conscientious than when handling important matters concerning the country.

If it was someone else, they definitely won’t have this good of a fate. For instance, He Shi Hai, that special way of ‘instructing’, for those who don’t know, they would even think that he was the living Enma’s sworn enemy.

Of course, for majority of people, they didn’t even have the qualifications to get tormented.

After Li Hong Yuan watched Jing Wan mount a painting from beginning to end once, he just made out where the problem was, and afterwards, just taught hand by hand, little by little, detailed to the point of highlighting every little area. And after just two times, Jing Wan completely understood where she was lacking in. This improvement can be considered incredible. For the areas where there were still problems, it was just the problem of her own skill, believe not long from now, she will be able to reach her desired level. That’s why, Jing Wan just needed for herself to be satisfied, no need to care for her ‘teacher’s’ view, and further don’t need to care about other people’s view. As long as she was satisfied, regardless of what level, it was enough.

Jing Wan practiced mounting paintings, and for the remainder of the time, it was mostly just continuing to paint. The one prepared for Le Cheng Emperor naturally needed to take top priority. After all, it was getting very close to the birthday banquet.

And that painting, Jing Wan was also very attentive, and didn’t, because it was going to be given to a degenerate, just put less heart into it. She can’t because of that degenerate just wrong the Imperial Noble Consort. That was a wonderful woman, and more importantly, she was her husband’s birth mother. It was her that gave life to her husband. Even if she didn’t see Ah Yuan be born, and further didn’t participate in his growth, Jing Wan believed, her motherly love towards Ah Yuan didn’t lack in the slightest. Besides, the starting point of this painting was quite good, even exceeding Jing Wan’s expectations. There was no reason to deliberately ruin good things.

Of course, there was Li Hong Yuan personally watching over her. Jing Wan usually won’t exceed an hour in painting, and when resting, it generally will always exceed two hours.

Aside from this, the plants and flowers in the manor also divided quite a bit of Jing Wan’s attention.

Their days, for the most part, just whittled away like this. Unavoidably, in between, there certainly will be some indescribable matters occurring.

In the blink of an eye, Former Wei’s diplomatic emissaries arrived in Qi Yuan’s capital. That momentum can be said to be quite grand.

It can be said that it more or less alarmed the entire capital. Of course, it was impossible for everyone to all go and spectate.

Even so, it was more than enough to make Le Cheng Emperor and the various officials darken their expression. As envoys, to be this arrogant in someone else’s territory, how can one have a good face? However, Former Wei’s inherent purpose was just so. The darker your expression and the unhappier you are, the happier they will be. To put it bluntly, it was just showing off their might.

If it was just this, then it was still whatever, but turns out, half the procession was all for serving that princess.

Setting aside the imperial guards guarding at the two sides, in the middle, there was carriage after carriage, and the horse carriage in front wasn’t normal in appearance, having a protective fencing made of decorative carvings painted in gold^[1]. The covering on top was circular, with muslin scattering in all directions, yet it wasn’t completely fastened. As the wind blew, the muslin just rose. It was already hazy to begin with, and after the muslin flew up, it further presented the figure of the woman inside clearly.

Her clothing was a bit different from ordinary clothes, dressed entirely in white, from head to toe. The top portion entirely used gold threads to embroider a simple yet extremely elegant design, scattering like a web. At the same time, there were many tiny pearls and gems dangling down. Her face was covered with a muslin veil, just revealing a pair of eyes. However, those eyes were like as if they could speak, very much moving, making one be unable to forget after seeing.

The horse carriages in the back pulling the things also used particularly bright and delicate cloth to cover, just fearing that others won’t know those things belonged to a girl. Furthermore, there was a large number of beautiful maids, neither quickly nor slowly walking by the two sides.

Former Wei had a woman held this high, what was the meaning of this?

However, because the other party had more than one member of the royal family, Le Cheng Emperor also sent an extra person. Aside from Li Hong Ming, tenth wangye also followed along. However, for all things, there was primary and secondary. For Former Wei, it was with their first prince as the focus, and on this side, it was Li Hong Ming.

They mutually exchanged perfunctory greetings, sounding one another out, feigning civility. Back and forth, it can be said to be quite entertaining. Between them, it can be considered meeting for the first time, yet there was a kind of sense of being evenly matched.

As expected, that smile just grew increasingly ‘sincere’. Former Wei’s first prince mentioned wanting to go meet Le Cheng Emperor, fulfilling his etiquette, while Li Hong Ming said that the envoys must be travel-worn, having traveled a long way, so meeting after slightly tidying up and resting for a night wasn’t too late either.

One side insisted on ‘wanting to meet’, while the other side insisted on ‘not meeting’. The scene seemingly was somewhat in a deadlock.

“Eldest imperial brother………….” The woman’s voice was pleasant sounding, like a yellow oriole. Bringing along a few maids, she slowly walked over. The clothes on her were very delicate. A slight breeze from the wind just made the hem of the dress sway greatly. It didn’t feel frivolous, instead actually having a kind of fluttering feeling like an immortal fairy, “What’s the matter here?”
