Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-397-1

Deal, First Time Planning (1)

The welcoming banquets continued, but naturally it was completely different from the first one. Even if there were women present, there was no longer special treatment. Additionally, these countries’ customs were much more open than Qi Yuan and Former Wei. Women going out and even upholding the household were all very normal. In fact, situations of women serving as officials all existed.

Of course, these in essence had nothing to do with Jing Wan. Without any special welcoming banquets, and with Li Hong Yuan not needing to help out, for the most part, continuing to stay cooped up in Jin Qinwang Manor completely wasn’t a problem.

However, the heavens didn’t follow human’s wishes. Jing Wan held the invitation card from the Former Wei’s Princess Yi Ning in hand, “To still be this meddlesome and unwilling to remain idle in another country’s borders, heh.”

Princess Yi Ning was just like the guest entertaining visitors in someone else’s home, even inviting many of the owners with great fanfare. Of course, this ‘house’ was very big with many people. And this guest didn’t invite the actual head of the house either. Even so, it still made people feel very inconceivable.

“To go or not, isn’t it still up to you? If you don’t want to go, then can completely ignore.” Li Hong Yuan said.

Jing Wan’s gaze landed on Li Hong Yuan, carrying a vague smile as she opened her mouth, “I’m the one that Princess Yi Ning ‘actually’ wants to invite. The others were merely invited in passing. The invitation even earnestly and sincerely said to please be sure to attend. For better or worse, she’s still a princess of a country equal in standing to Qi Yuan, so it wouldn’t be good to not give face.” One has to know, Princess Yi Ning had invited quite a few people, both the married and unmarried princesses and junzhus, as well as a pile of qin-wangfeis and jun-wangfeis.

“She says to attend, so you just attend? Who does she think she is? Also, what do you mean the one she actually wants to invite is you, did it say on the invitation?”

“Wangye, this is pretending to be muddled? The actual person she wants to invite is also nothing more than an excuse. Her target is probably wangye you.”

Li Hong Yuan slightly raised an eyebrow, “So Wan Wan’s meaning is towards the invitation from a woman having delusions about your husband, you even need to give her face, believing that not going is not good?”

Jing Wan pursed her lips into a smile, “I’d really thought that wangye didn’t know, but seeing wangye say it like this, I indeed don’t need to give face.”

Even if there wasn’t that incident from his past life, based on Li Hong Yuan’s sharp senses, how could he not detect getting fervently stared at for a very long period of time. And the meaning contained in those eyes, even if a young boy with no knowledge of love, what one, two, and three gazes mean, one might not know, but what about four, five, six, seven, and eight? Or even more than ten, or over a hundred gazes? In the past life, Li Hong Yuan didn’t have a bad reputation. On the contrary, he even had somewhat of a good reputation. His luck with women was definitely the most exuberant, with many women advancing wave upon waves. This kind of thing, for a man, at first, perhaps would greatly satisfy their vanity, but once this amount increases, it will just feel extremely annoying. Fortunately, Li Hong Yuan from the start was just uninterested in this aspect.

As such, Jing Wan indeed didn’t attend the banquet, not even giving an excuse for declining, just like as if she didn’t receive an invitation, not having the slightest response.

Speaking of which, there were quite a few people all watching her movements. Her not giving a response, quite a few people were all somewhat unable to grasp.

But, under this kind of circumstance, others all would tacitly believe that she would go. However, in reality, this slap of Jing Wan’s was resounding to the end.

Regardless of what exactly Princess Yi Ning was thinking, Jing Wan’s attitude of completely ignoring her was all an insult to her.

In her own country, Princess Yi Ning can be said to truly be able to command the wind and rain. Regardless of who, all needed to give her a bit of face. She has never received this kind of treatment before, so how can she not be angry? By the time the others all arrive, yet only Jing Wan alone didn’t, she nearly just exploded on the spot. Even if she didn’t smash anything, or throw a tantrum, she still coldly mocked a few words, saying things like, Qi Yuan must think highly of oneself, not having the other countries taken seriously, and so on.

Speaking of which, regardless of what kind of status the people present had, and regardless of whether or not they had grudges with Jing Wan, at this time, regardless of whether they were willing or not, they must stand on Jing Wan’s side. If they were to stand on Princess Yi Ning’s side and instead criticize Jing Wan’s rudeness, then they will really get sprayed to death by their own people’s saliva.

TN: All

Princess Yi Ning was one that had power from being favored, but compared with Princess Min Xiang, how much stronger can she be? That’s why, she just got retorted on the spot. That meaning also couldn’t be more obvious. Who do you think you are, merely a princess of Former Wei, really think you can just represent Former Wei? How big is your face? If you’re really one’s that’s favored, would you be showing your face in public, ostentatiously parading about in another country? What can a princess do in another country, nothing more than just looking for a man. Only sixth sister-in-law alone didn’t come, and besides, with this many people, it can also be considered giving you face. Being that angry, what, could it be that you’ve fallen for sixth brother? And even a princess, to be fancying a married man, do you want your face or not, do you know how to write the word shameless……..and so on. Princess Min Xiang can be said to be fully powered up, not holding back in the slightest.

Having her thoughts exposed, in addition to getting humiliated as such, Princess Yi Ning’s complexion burned red, nearly just losing control of herself. However, the reality also wasn’t much better. She has never know what it means to endure, so just returned the favor on the spot, similarly not holding back.

Speaking of which, Princess Min Xiang was merely just randomly saying. After all, Li Hong Yuan’s face was placed there. Even though she was that scared of him, sometimes, she would still fall in a daze staring at his face, let alone those girls that were raised deep in the boudoir, not knowing the ways of the world, yet unexpectedly she’d coincidentally hit the mark.

Although Princess Min Xiang wasn’t born from the Empress, the Empress didn’t have a daughter. That’s why, among her sisters, Princess Min Xiang had the highest status. In addition to being favored by Le Cheng Emperor, her position really wasn’t much different from Princess Yi Ning’s in Former Wei. These two that had such similar status and position, in a certain sense, were just natural born enemies. To put it unpleasantly, that was just like two tigress of two mountains. On normal days, in their own territory, naturally there was no problem, each minding their own business, each being arrogant and domineering on their own. But, once they run into each other, then it will certainly be a stand-off. Even if there’s no reason, they can still get into a ‘fight’ in seconds.

As such, although it didn’t get to the point of becoming physical, the scene can still be considered chaotic. This banquet naturally just ended prematurely. Each and every one weren’t that willing to come to begin with, so this while, they certainly won’t continue staying.

And the two princesses naturally were both quite angered. Even if dispersing, the melancholic air inside didn’t disappear, so their mouth naturally didn’t stop.

Princess Min Xiang said what kind of thing was Princess Yi Ning, to dare show off her might in Qi Yuan’s capital. To have not given her a slap was already seeing on behalf of Former Wei’s face.

And Princess Yi Ning said Princess Min Xiang lacked upbringing and manners. And even an imperial princess, practically just a shrew.

This disturbance was quite big, and very soon, those that should know and shouldn’t know all knew.

Princess Yi Ning looked for her own two older brothers to tearfully complain in all sorts of ways…………….

Setting aside the Former Wei fifth prince, he was already heavily injured to begin with, yet didn’t cherish his body, never mind forcibly attending the welcoming banquet, he even wantonly drank wine. Thus, without a doubt, it affected the injury’s normal recovery. And because he’d drank too much, it was difficult for the wound to heal, so he was certainly suffering greatly. As such, he naturally wasn’t in the mood to put up with Princess Yi Ning. When Princess Yi Ning came looking, she just got one line: Get lost!

And her eldest imperial brother coldly looked to her, that gaze was unprecedentedly ice-cold.

Yi Ning directly trembled under his stare, unable to continue crying.

Afterwards, the Former Wei first prince finally revealed a smile that didn’t have any warmth, “Yi Ning, what you’re thinking, don’t think that this older brother doesn’t know. I have to say, this guts of yours really is very big. Of course, there’s also a bit of cleverness. But, you think that by doing this, you can just achieve your goal? As expected, just a naive and ignorant little girl.”

“I don’t understand what eldest brother is saying……” Yi Ning’s eyes were somewhat drifting, not daring to look directly at her older brother.
