Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 590.1: Born as the Crown Prince

Born as the Crown Prince (1)

“Wan Wan…” Li Hong Yuan was startled awake from his dreams.

“Your Majesty.” Seeing Li Hong Yuan wake up, Eunuch Mu hurriedly went forward, “Your Majesty, her Highness the empress is fine, currently resting.”

Li Hong Yuan’s heart that was beating a bit too fast finally relaxed a little. He doesn’t know how long he has been asleep, but compared to the exhaustion from being tensed to the extreme previously, his body has eased up quite a bit. Massaging his temples, he looked around, confirming his current location, “Where is the empress right now?”

“Replying to your Majesty, her Highness has already been moved back to the resting chambers.”

Li Hong Yuan got up, just about to go over.

“Your Majesty.” Eunuch Mu worked up the courage to block. Facing Li Hong Yuan’s dagger-like glare, he endured and didn’t tremble, “Your Majesty, you’ve slept for two days. Her Highness’s body is still weak from giving birth. Therefore, shouldn’t you first wash up before going to see her Highness?” Eunuch Mu tactfully expressed, master, you’re very awful right now, very much disdained.

Eunuch Mu actually was also very scared, but this was instructed by Gong mama. That’s why, he could only harden his head and step up.

Li Hong Yuan paused in his steps. He was also aware that his appearance right now was very awful, and indeed not too suited to go see Wan Wan. Giving birth had greatly drained her energy to begin with, and if she were to also worry about him, then it certainly will be bad for her body. Thus, he turned and headed to the imperial bathing springs.

In the enormous imperial bathing springs, dense fog filled the air. Li Hong Yuan didn’t have any misgivings, directly taking off his clothes. Just, halfway, he sensed someone entering, his hand movements stopping as he turned back his head.

“This servant will serve your Majesty in bathing.” A palace maid somewhat bashfully said with her head lowered.

Li Hong Yuan let go of his clothes, lowering his hands, “Mu An.”

His voice wasn’t considered heavy, but in Eunuch Mu’s ears, it was like a sudden clap of thunder. Eunuch Mu hastily ran in and saw that there was an extra person, everything going dark before his eyes. Outside, someone had deliberately held him up, while the other slipped in. Eunuch Mu just wanted to ask their ancestors, choosing to curry favor and seduce at this time, exactly is it really knowing how to pick the time, or just stupid to the extreme? When his Majesty was guarding over her Highness the empress in giving birth, were all of you blind, unable to see? However, Eunuch Mu had no time to think too much, trembling in fear as he went forward, “Your Majesty…”

“Drag down and send to the Department of Punishment, let the palace maids of Kunyi Palace take turns going to observe the punishment. As for you, go receive fifty planks on your own.”

“Yes.” Eunuch Mu didn’t dare to have any complaint, just having this palace maid hated to death. And without a second word, he personally went forward, stuffing her mouth and dragging out with a malevolent expression. At the same time, he also ran into the palace maid that had previously blocked him. Very good, two little sluts, can send them to the Department of Punishment together.

Li Hong Yuan properly cleaned himself up, even his face was all spotless, before finally going to Jing Wan’s resting chamber.

The people that were watching over Jing Wan give birth previously, for the most part, were all still present. The people of the Luo family and Consort Dowager Qin were circled around the little guy. Seeing their relaxed expression, he could tell, Jing Wan was probably fine.

Seeing Li Hong Yuan come in, they hurriedly got up to greet, not the least bit like they were the ones who firmly had him ‘tossed aside’ to rest previously.

TN: All

“You may rise.” Li Hong Yuan waved his hand, directly heading towards the inside that was separated by a curtain.

“Your Majesty.” Luo Old Madam called out to Li Hon Yuan. “Is your Majesty not going to look at the little prince? Her Highness had carried the child in the womb for several months, with many twists and turns arising midway. For the little prince to be able to peacefully come to this world, it isn’t easy. Her Highness has also gone through a lot of hardships, but as the mother, no matter how arduous, towards one’s own child, it’s certainly still loving dearly from the bottom of her heart.”

As long as one wasn’t blind, one should be able to make out Li Hong Yuan’s dislike towards his son. As an imperial prince, getting disliked by one’s old man, that absolutely wasn’t anything good.

But, this kind of thing can’t be bluntly pointed out either, so what to do? Naturally, it was using Jing Wan as pretext. The mother relying the child’s honor, and the child relying on the mother’s honor, this was all mutually interconnected. If him not liking his son becomes known by the people outside, perhaps they will just think onto Jing Wan, believing that he wasn’t really that good towards Jing Wan, having complaints inside.

Li Hong Yuan coldly looked to Luo Old Madam, and afterwards, magnanimously lowered his head and glanced at the child in swaddling clothes. This while, one was unable to tell who the child looked like. On the inside, he didn’t have the slightest joy of becoming a father, just knowing that this little bastard nearly killed his imperial mother.

Letting Gong Jiu do it wasn’t any less risky than firmly letting Jing Wan give birth to the child herself. Having obtained the most esteemed status, yet still want everyone’s love, sure thought of it quite beautifully.

Right when everyone was hoping for Li Hong Yuan to say a bit of something, or even hold the child, he directly just turned and walked towards the inner room.

Luo Old Madam and the others mutually glanced at one another, their eyes more or less containing a bit of disappointment. At this time, however, Li Hong Yuan’s voice sounded from the inside, “Issue a decree, the empress has given birth to a son, this emperor is greatly pleased, selecting an auspicious date to confer as the crown prince.”

The disappointment in their eyes instantly just turned into shock. Newborn children were very tender and fragile, easily dying young. If their fortune is too heavy, then even need to think of a way to suppress a little. As the emperor’s di son, and even the firstborn, whose mother was also deeply loved by the emperor, under the heavens, there won’t be anyone more esteemed than him. Yet, at this time, to still have him lifted higher, directly becoming the heir apparent………

Even the court officials all won’t be this impatient. No matter what, should still wait another three to five years, waiting until the child formally selects a teacher. Moreover, facing the decisive and unyielding Yuan Qi Emperor, the officials may not necessarily have the guts to mention.

“This way is also good. In this way, even if his Majesty doesn’t favor, no one in the world would dare make light of this child. He is just born honorable and esteemed, so no matter how much more good fortune there is, there’s no need to be scared.”

Consort Dowager Qin also nodded.

Li Hong Yuan went into the inner room. Because he practiced martial arts, his five senses were even more keen than an ordinary person’s, so he very quickly just smelled the scent of blood, and moreover, it was coming from Jing Wan’s direction. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace, and the closer he got, the more obvious the smell. Even if the child had been removed, and the cut treated, the smell of blood still shouldn’t be this heavy.

“What’s going on?” Although Jing Wan had survived her death flag, letting Li Hong Yuan’s nerves relax quite a bit, the slightest problem on Jing Wan can still make him immediately explode.

The other palace maids all got frightened, not even knowing why his Majesty suddenly got angry, all keeping quiet out of fear. Gong mama, however, took it rather calmly, “Replying to your Majesty, women, after giving birth, will all carry the scent of old blood, for the most part, lasting for about a month. The situation in the first few days will be a bit more serious. Gong Jiu and the Imperial Physicians Court’s expert in gynecology have both examined her Highness. Her situation is considered normal, so no need for your Majesty to worry.”

Li Hong Yuan’s expression finally eased up, sitting down by the bed. Reaching out, the back of his fingers lightly brushed over Jing Wan’s cheeks, carrying endless tenderness and affection.

Jing Wan sensed his touch, her eyelids shaking. Opening her eyes and seeing Li Hong Yuan, her eyes instantly lit up, revealing a smile, “Ah Yuan.” Very softly, similarly carrying endless affection.

“Did I disturb your rest?”

Jing Wan shook her head, “No, these two days, I’ve mostly been sleeping, but unable to sleep much. ———Ah Yuan, help me up.”

Li Hong Yuan slightly frowned, very much disapproving. His own injuries, he was completely indifferent about, but when switched with Jing Wan, seemingly just thinking about it can make the depth of his bones ache.

“It’s fine, appropriately moving a little is better for the body.”

Li Hong Yuan finally had her carefully supported up, not letting her waist exert strength.

Having lain for two days, when first getting up, one would feel somewhat dizzy. Jing Wan leaned against Li Hong Yuan to recover a little.

Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan supported Jing Wan and patiently walked around in small steps.

“Ah Yuan had also slept for two days along with me. After getting up, you probably still haven’t eaten, right?” Holding his wrist, he seemingly lost weight. Regarding the previous matter, she didn’t want to mention anymore. After passing that trial, even if still having shadows in the heart, there will eventually be a day when the clouds part, “It just so happens that it’s time for me to eat. Let’s eat together, alright?”

Alright, it naturally can’t be better.

The speed in which the food was brought over was also quite quick. Because Li Hong Yuan might wake up at any time, they’ve been continuously preparing the meal, remaking again and again. As for Jing Wan, it further don’t need to be mentioned, needing to eat several times in a day, simply not going by the time.

Since the situation was different, their meal won’t be like the same as before.

Jing Wan’s hands were perfectly fine, but she still got served like she was crippled.

Towards feeding Jing Wan, Li Hong Yuan was also quite adept, letting Jing Wan finish eating first before beginning himself.

Jing Wan watched him eat, her mood exceptionally good, feeling everything was good, “Ah Yuan, in the future, we will always be well, our descendants filling the halls, together until old age.”

Li Hong Yuan glanced at her, “Don’t bother thinking about descendants filling the halls, I won’t let you give birth again.”

“Then just let that brat give birth to a few more.” Jing Wan indirectly had the conversation turned towards their son.

“Alright, put away that little thought of yours. Wan Wan, if you want to let that brat’s days be a bit better, then the best way is to just pay a little less attention to him.” Li Hong Yuan heartlessly popped the color bubbles of Jing Wan’s imagination.

Jing Wan was helpless. Sure enough, on this matter, there was no leeway to speak of. Her son really was pitiful. Never mind getting disliked by his father, his father even forced his mother to distance herself from him too.

Once Li Hong Yuan finished eating, Jing Wan went and tidied up again. It can’t be helped, her body right now wasn’t clean at all times.

When she came out, Gong Jiu had come. These two days, her pulse was still frequently taken.

“Gong Jiu, first examine his Majesty.” Her husband’s situation, at the time, she didn’t know, and after waking up, they just told her that he’d just fallen asleep. Jing Wan figured that since he hadn’t slept for several nights previously, falling asleep was also normal, but she still faintly felt that something was off.

Li Hong Yuan, for the sake of letting Jing Wan be at ease, didn’t refuse either, but his own body, he more or less had a bit of understanding. Previously, he’d been too tense, so to suddenly relax, the heart and blood vessels will certainly be damaged. However, the melancholic air in his heart had also more or less scattered. He’ll be fine after recuperating a little. As such, prior to Gong Jiu taking his pulse, he gave Gong Jiu a glance.

As one of the few that was the most trusted by Li Hong Yuan, would Gong Jiu not understand Li Hong Yuan’s meaning?

That’s why, the outcome was just the mind and spirit having been worn down, but after taking a bit of medicine, he’ll be perfectly fine in a few days. If Gong Jiu were to say that there weren’t any problems, Jing Wan certainly will be suspicious. That’s why, this way was the most fitting.
