Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-611-2

Mother and Son (2)

All say, children were all overflowing with energy. This one that had an adult core, yet also exceptionally curious, in a certain sense, was practically just a disaster.

Even based on Jing Wan’s constitution, towards the end, she all felt a bit unbearable. Throughout the entire day, aside from when eating the afternoon meal, as well as when slightly resting, the rest of the time, they just never stopped their feet. Jing Wan originally wanted to let him be, but clearly, this won’t do. This boy, if one doesn’t restrict a little, truly will be too much. “Tian Lin, let’s look for an inn and rest for a night, can continue playing tomorrow.”

The little crown prince’s name wasn’t announced to the world, so there weren’t many that knew. That’s why, there was no need to avoid out of taboo.

Hearing Jing Wan say this, the ‘little crown prince’ also immediately stopped. Afterwards, he finally realized in hindsight, he seemingly went overboard today. His imperial mother had just followed behind him like this the whole time. He instantly felt guilty inside, hating that he can’t slap himself.

He hurriedly went forward, pulling Jing Wan’s hand, “Mother, sorry, it’s all this son’s fault, causing mother to be tired. How about we just go back?”

Jing Wan smiled, stroking his head. Her son was this considerate, “It’s fine. Mother isn’t as weak and fragile as you think, just play. We’ve already come out, so play enough before going back. In the future, there won’t be the opportunity anymore. However, right now, it is already late, so indeed can’t continue playing.”

“All listen to mother.” The ‘little crown prince’ obediently held Jing Wan’s hand.

When Jing Wan said to look for a place to stay, someone already quickly went to handle.

Afterwards, after stopping, the ‘little crown prince’ also finally discovered that his feet seemingly ached. It can be seen just how overboard he went today.

Even though these days he really had himself treated as a child, but at this time, he was still somewhat embarrassed. He needs to properly reflect on himself, especially having tired imperial mother, this further shouldn’t be done again. That’s why, sure enough, he still can’t completely let himself go. When needing to restrain, one still needed to restrain.

The things that the ‘little crown prince’ knew absolutely weren’t few, but for the most part, it all came from books. Towards the places outside of the palace, he was very unfamiliar. When he was little, he was unable to leave the palace. Afterwards, his curiosity also just diluted. No, it didn’t dilute, but rather, got buried away, because it shouldn’t exist. He probably never thought that there would be today. That’s why, he really lost himself.

Right when the ‘little crown prince’ was somewhat lost in thought, his body suddenly lifted into the air. When he came back to his senses, he just saw his own imperial mother’s face. Turns out, Jing Wan had him picked up.

“Mother.” He subconsciously hugged Jing Wan’s neck. Afterwards, “Mother put me down. You’re certainly also tired today.”

“No matter.” Jing Wan smilingly scraped the tip of his nose, “Mother hasn’t held you all day today, so can’t I hold you?”

“But I’m already not a three year old child anymore.” The ‘little crown prince’ said with a serious look.

“Right, our family’s little man is already five.” Jing Wan smiled even brighter.

Even if the ‘little crown prince’ was thick-skinned, at this time, he still couldn’t help but want to cover his face, too embarrassing. Hugging Jing Wan, he had his chin placed on her shoulder.

TN: All

At night, even if staying at an inn, Gong mama and Hei Mei still served very attentively, specially boiling medicine to get rid of the fatigue, even preparing a brand new bathtub to comfortably soak in. Afterwards, Gong mama even gave a full-body massage to ensure that when waking up tomorrow, the body won’t ache.

Actually, Jing Wan wanted to personally wash her son, but the little guy was shy, so could only give up.

Was the ‘little crown prince’ shy? Actually, this was just one aspect of it. He has actually never believed that he can continuously keep that imperial father of his in the dark. That’s why, when time comes, he wasn’t afraid of something happening to him because of occupying the original host’s body, but instead afraid that because of letting his imperial mother help bathe him, he’ll get skinned to death by his imperial father. His imperial father won’t because he was in a child’s body just really have him treated as a child. That’s why, some things still needed to be guarded against in advance.

Jing Wan’s room and the ‘little crown prince’s’ room naturally were separate. He didn’t dare to ‘share the bed’ with his imperial mother, the reason same as above.

However, this while, Jing Wan was still sitting by he ‘little crown prince’s’ bed. The ‘little crown prince’ was sleeping near the edge, his feet placed on Jing Wan’s lap. Jing Wan lightly pinched his feet. At first, the ‘little crown prince’ wanted to have his feet pulled back, but he got suppressed by Jing Wan.

Jing Wan massaged his feet while telling him a bedtime story, her voice soft and her brows gentle. At this time, she wasn’t the empress that jointly governed the country with imperial father, but just a mother, a mother that loved her own child.

More than half of the ‘little crown prince’s’ face was hidden in the shadows of the bed curtains. Perhaps because others weren’t able to see his expression clearly, he just that openly stared at Jing Wan, unconsciously, his tears have already slid down, “Imperial mother, imperial mother, imperial mother…..” He repeatedly muttered inside. What Jing Wan said, he seemingly didn’t hear a single word of, yet when recalling, he was still able to remember every word. Because it was said by Jing Wan, that’s why, he exhausted his thoughts.

However, a child’s body ultimately was still easily tired. The ‘little crown prince’ unknowingly fell asleep.

Jing Wan lightly shifted him, properly covering the light blanket. Kneeling by the bed, she saw the yet to dry tears on his face. Jing Wan used the handkerchief to lightly wipe for him. Just, the tears in her eyes also rolled down.

Leaning in, she kissed the ‘little crown prince’s’ face, “Tian Lin, impreial mother loves you, always, no matter where.” Her voice was very very soft, soft to the point where others couldn’t hear.

However, for the ‘little crown prince’ who was fast asleep, it was seemingly like as if he’d heard, softly muttering ‘imperial mother’ in his sleep.

Jing Wan knelt for a while, wiping her face. After getting up, one for the most part wasn’t able to make out anything, but how sharp was Gong mama. However, she didn’t express anything, not even having any excess thoughts.

The next day, the ‘little crown prince’ was full of energy.

Yesterday, they’d already explored all the places that can be explored in the capital. Today, the ‘little crown prince’ wanted to go somewhere that he’d long planned on going. Regardless of the other places, this place, he definitely needed to go.

“Wanxiang^[1] Library? Why does Tian Lin want to go there?” Jing Wan asked.

“Because that is the national library that imperial mother, you, ordered to be established, so of course want to go have a look.”

Two years ago, Jing Wan had already started planning building libraries throughout the entire country, free for the scholars of the world to borrow and read. Right now, it was already getting implemented step by step. And below the foot of the emperor, a total of four Wanxiang Libraries were built, and the inside was also indeed all-inclusive, having a rich collection of books organized by categories. Moreover, the books inside were also endlessly increasing.

And Jing Wan, for the sake of those scholars that didn’t have a good teacher to teach them, even specially hired an academy professor to provide teaching materials, printing into books. The first publication was already greatly received.

The ‘little crown prince’s’ thoughts were very simple. The things that his imperial mother did for the world, he should all personally experience for himself. And if one day, he were to go back to that other world, then in that place that didn’t have any trace of imperial mother, he wanted to have the things she left behind all extensively spread out, letting the people of the world know.

Since he wanted to go, Jing Wan naturally won’t stop him, thus just taking him over.

However, this Wanxiang Library naturally wasn’t a place where anyone can enter. Without rules, there won’t be borders. If there were no rules, wouldn’t it be a mess?
