Chapter 613.1: This Kind of Little Crown Prince
This Kind of Little Crown Prince (1)
Regarding Le Cheng Emperor’s situation, Jing Wan naturally knew, telling her son in advance.
The ‘little crown prince’ maintained himself as a filial son and virtuous grandson, even though it might be a real filial son but a fake virtuous grandson. However, this attitude still needed to be in full display. As such, prior to meeting with the person, he first inquired about his imperial grandfather’s situation. And the target of his inquiry naturally was just Le Cheng Emperor’s former Xian Consort.
As Former Wei’s di princess, at present, she was also just twenty some years old. However, she can also be considered to have experienced continuous ups and downs. And in these years residing in Mount Xiang Imperial Residence, from being resentful and unwilling to accept in the beginning, to afterwards accepting fate, from getting tormented by Le Cheng Emperor, to her secretly striking back and tormenting Le Cheng Emperor, at present, the two of them have reached a ‘harmonious’ relationship. When all is said and done, it was just having a shared reason———they didn’t want to die. That’s right, it was just not wanting to die.
Towards Le Cheng Emperor’s expenses, Jing Wan never once unfairly deducted, and the great majority of these were all grasped in this former Xian Consort Wei’s hand. Having experienced a lot, her haughtiness as a princess also got grinded down, but for the sake of being able to live a bit better, in certain areas, she just become increasingly formidable.
That’s why, in a certain sense, this woman’s days right now were actually still pretty good.
To put it unpleasantly, the little crown prince coming to this Mount Xiang Imperial Residence, a single hair of his was all more precious than all the people here added together.
The former Xian Consort Wei didn’t dare to slight in the slightest, lowering her head and eyes, appearing very deferential, softly explaining to him Le Cheng Emperor’s situation.
Regarding Xian Consort Wei, the ‘little crown prince’, on the other side, didn’t have the slightest impression at all, because this person didn’t even cause the slightest ripple in Qi Yuan. As for now, it was also because of his appearance here, thus learned a little about her situation beforehand. It was quite simple and brief, but in the ‘little crown prince’s’ view, if there isn’t any hidden secrets, for her to marry imperial grandfather, that was absolutely having problems in the head. He immediately just had the arrow pointed towards his imperial father and didn’t consider anything else, completely unaware that this matter was actually his imperial mother’s handiwork. At the time, for the sake of not getting exposed, she even burned quite a few braincells.
The ‘little crown prince’ sat atop the little stool, propping up his chin, eyeing the woman in front, from head to tail, inwardly sighing, his imperial mother really was benevolent.
And when she finished speaking, the ‘little crown prince’ finally slowly opened his mouth, “Concubine Wei is probably still thinking of Former Wei inside, right? Qi Yuan and Former Wei have been at war this whole time. You’re probably still thinking of Former Wei being able to triumph Qi Yuan one day, and afterwards, have you grandly received back. Then, later, have all the pain and humiliation you suffered in Qi Yuan paid back in tenfold?”
Concubine Wei’s face distorted for a moment. Indeed, she precisely thought of this. However, she still knelt down in fear, “Your Highness’s words, this servant absolutely refuse to acknowledge. Since this servant has married to Qi Yuan, then one’s life and death will all be in Qi Yuan.”
The ‘little crown prince’ giggled, “Marry? Of the women by imperial grandfather’s side, the only one that matched this word is also just a single woman. As for you, can’t even really be considered ‘take in’, right?” That’s why, the ‘little crown prince’ also had a poisonous mouth.
He slowly stood up, “Alright, imperial grandfather’s situation, this prince is also aware of now. As for you, regardless of what you’re thinking, it’s also nothing more than just daydreaming. For people that are living muddled days, having daydreams to hang on to, it’s also not bad, so as to avoid going crazy someday, but don’t think too much. If one were to think too much, unable to separate reality and imagination, then one will probably also go crazy.”
Concubine Wei didn’t dare to look directly at the ‘little crown prince’. On the inside, it was like as if having seen a ghost. Was this something that a child would say? It wasn’t deliberately pretending to be old and mature, but rather penetrating with composure from the bones, as if standing atop the clouds, carrying what appears to be mockery but not really, playfully looking down on the mortal world. There was nothing that can move him. In fact, without even needing to look, one seemingly can just know that his eyes penetrated with boredom, and because bored, he thus just randomly played with the flowers by the roadside, and she merely just happened to encounter.
Staring at the ‘little crown prince’s’ feet, Concubine Wei began lightly trembling for no reason. This family of three, each and every one all weren’t simple, making one unable to produce the slightest resistance. How stupid was she once to actually consider those unrealistic things? How stupid was she to actually take fancy to that terrifying man in the beginning, even thinking about conquering him and sitting onto his main wife’s position? And the premise to all this was just because she was Great Wei’s di princess, having a powerful backing. But, in reality, she was merely just an abandoned pawn. At present, Southern Qi has gotten extinguished by Qi Yuan, and Great Wei’s territory was also gradually reducing. From the looks of it, Southern Qi was precisely Great Wei’s example. And her? She indeed can only just daydream.
The ‘little crown prince’ looked at this woman, hooking the corner of his mouth. If one were to ignore his age, then this smile just extremely resembled Li Hong Yuan’s.
———-Former Wei’s di princess? Really a boring and incompetent person that didn’t even have any backbone.
TN: All
The ‘little crown prince’ turned around, walking into the inner room, going to see that bedridden imperial grandfather of his.
Le Cheng Emperor naturally knew his grandson came, because at the time, there were still people by his side, but because of hearing the crown prince’s arrival, they all went out.
Le Cheng Emperor’s feelings towards Li Hong Yuan were actually very complicated, but it was still mostly overflowing hatred, hating him for his deception, and further hating him for stealing his mountains and rivers.
The information outside has never been sealed off from Mount Xiang Imperial Residence. Even though under normal circumstances, they are unable to go out easily, especially Concubine Wei, absolutely not allowed to set foot outside, but to want to know the situation outside, they can still find out. And once Concubine Wei knew, she for the most part will all tell Le Cheng Emperor. Since she was unhappy inside, then she naturally needed someone to be unhappy with her. This can also be considered the unusual ‘love and hate’ between this ‘couple’.
Reasonably speaking, as Qi Yuan’s previous emperor, Qi Yuan prospering, he should feel proud, but before this kind of feeling could set in, Concubine Wei will just splash him with a basin of cold water, “Unfortunately, this glory and prosperity, the people of the world’s songs of praise, all have nothing to do with you, the Retired Emperor. You’re unable to enjoy the slightest honor. You can only stay cooped up in this worn down imperial residence, and if your daughter-in-law retracts her hand, you can just starve to death. In any case, I’ll be buried along with you, so when time comes, I won’t need to serve you anymore. In the days prior to dying, the feces and urine, no one will help you clean. Lying in a pile of filth, you, the majestic Retired Emperor, to be this disgraceful and unsightly prior to dying, if people were to know, won’t they laugh to death. Of course, this kind of thing, probably won’t happen. The imperial family’s reputation still needs to be preserved. But, you might get directly thrown out. The funeral and whatnot, just need to go through the motions. In any case, this kind of thing, his Majesty is also skilled at doing, not even leaving behind your corpse, heheh……”
This was for the sake of disgusting Le Cheng Emperor, and certain phrases were also used quite obviously, not having the upbringing and cultivation that a princess should have in the slightest.
Many times, Le Cheng Emperor nearly just fainted in anger, but as the number of times increased, his tolerance also just increased. In any case, in the past, in front of Li Hong Yuan, he was also a ‘masochist’.
