Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-618-1

Respective Path (1)

The sky still hasn’t lit up.

The little crown prince endlessly prattled a bunch, while Jing Wan patiently had him coaxed back to sleep.

After having the little crown prince placed back on the bed, the little guy rolled around, grabbing the thin blanket, not having the slightest posture to speak of, soundly sleeping like a little piglet.

Jing Wan pulled over the thin blanket, covering his little stomach, and afterwards, lay down next to him, still not sleepy, just lightly patting him again and again.

All the way until it was time to get up, when Gong mama entered with the lantern, Jing Wan directly got up.

“Your Highness.” Speaking of certain changes, aside from Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan, it was probably just Gong mama that saw the most clearly. However, she knew, some things, it was better to not look into, regardless of how strange, and how unbelievable. If even his Majesty and her Highness doesn’t feel there’s a problem, then she can’t show any abnormality.

“En, mama has worked hard.” Jing Wan knows, with her being here all night, Gong mama certainly didn’t sleep either. After all, if there wasn’t anything, she also wouldn’t be here, no?

“It’s no trouble for this servant.”

Jing Wan no longer said anything. What Gong mama has done, she has all taken in. Although, under the present society, to be able to serve her, this empress, that is an enormous honor, good fortune cultivate from several lifetimes. However, Jing Wan naturally wasn’t able to just boldly accept this. But, the only thing she can do was probably just provide for her in her elderly years in the future, letting her not have to worry about food and clothes, having thorough and meticulous care. Perhaps, she can even find for her a clever adopted daughter to help send her off in the future. Aside from this, she seemingly was unable to do more.

The little crown prince had also formed a good biological clock. Even if his body had gotten occupied for a period of time, this seemingly didn’t get affected either, also not knowing what had happened previously. Once he finished washing up, fully waking up, he was just full of energy again, seemingly having endless stamina. Afterwards, he finally discovered in hindsight that Jing Wan was sitting to the side, “Eh? Imperial mother, how come you’re here?” His eyes were filled with confusion, “Last night, seemingly dreamt of imperial mother.”

Obviously, getting locked in a dark room, then waking up in tears, and whatnot, he all blurrily treated as a dream, already not having any impressions left now.

Her son not having any traces of that ‘other son’ left on him, Jing Wan’s feelings were quite mixed, but recalling the mess that this son will soon face, she also somewhat sympathized. Today, when attending class, perhaps he will just get treated as a block of wood. After all, in that period of time previously, he appeared even more impressive than the lecturer, having each and every lecturer all forced to work into the night. Now, to suddenly be like ‘don’t understand’, ‘what does this mean’ and such, the contents of his learning even falling backwards, she can already imagine what kind of look those people will have. Jing Wan just hoped that her son’s mental state was broad enough, else it was really hard to imagine what it will become like.

Jing Wan didn’t believe that when this son reached ‘that son’s’ age, he will be worse than ‘that son’, but the disparity in the several years of experience and knowledge………

“Tian Lin, you are just you, no need to mind what others say too much, understand?”

The little crown prince didn’t understand her meaning, “Imperial mother, if you’re here, then imperial father……..” Speaking to here, the little crown prince nearly jumped up, “Imperial father certainly will sort me out again!”

Forget it, Jing Wan also didn’t want to continue saying anything. Her son, no matter what, was still the crown prince. Even if others have strange looks, they still won’t dare to say anything to his face. And on the court officials’ side, en, for the time being, it was better to not let them interact. At most, it’ll just be listening in the imperial study. If he doesn’t speak, the court officials probably won’t be able to sense anything. And if he’s a bit more thick-skinned, completely not taking seriously, then there won’t be any problems.

However, speaking of which, getting screwed over by ‘oneself’ like this, her son certainly was also unmatched in all of history.

TN: All

And on the other side, Li Tian Lin also woke up, adult hands and an adult body. Moreover, he had also soundlessly confirmed with the palace servant by his side that there weren’t any abnormalities on this side. In other words, during his time on the other side, the time on this side didn’t move at all.

However, his state of mind at this very moment was nevertheless completely different. Certain things repressed in his heart already became open and clear. Even though there was now reluctance and longing, these nevertheless won’t affect him. In the future, when recalling again, it also won’t be those things from his childhood, where one was for the most part unable to find anything wonderful, and also for the most part not that deep, but rather another set of memories, where even though short, it was still more than enough for him to fondly remember for a lifetime.

Li Tian Lin won’t think that it was just a dream. Standing in front of the full-body mirror, he hooked his mouth into a smile, making the palace maids by his side all blush, hurriedly lowering their heads.

Having stayed in that small body for more than a month, he had already gotten used to it. Now, returning to his adult body, he instead felt a bit unfamiliar. However, this ultimately was the body he was the most familiar with. As such, the strange feeling also very quickly disappeared. He was Qi Yuan dynasty’s emperor, wielding power in hand. He will continue his imperial father’s golden age, and will also start another period of prosperity.

Upon the imperial court, the court officials that normally often interact with Li Tian Lin all keenly discovered his Majesty’s change. As for the specifics, it seemingly was hard to say.

After handling the governmental affairs, Li Tian Lin turned onto his private matters.

“Beloved Minister Sun, is your eldest di daughter betrothed?”

“Replying to your Majesty, not yet.” Sun Yi Lin stood out and deferentially answered.

As the youngest Head Cabinet Minister in all of Qi Yuan’s history, and even the emperor’s teacher, his eldest di daughter many people all wanted to marry. It can be said as all the talented handsome youths of the world free for him to pick from.

“In that case, this emperor wishes to establish her as the empress, what does beloved minister think?”

Li Tian Lin’s words were practically just like a sudden clap of thunder. The civil and military officials of the court were all very startled, but afterwards, immediately became delighted. His Majesty is finally willing to establish an empress. Towards this day, they originally were all somewhat in despair. How come his Majesty suddenly just thought things through? However, this was a good thing, a good thing.

Originally, Sun Yi Lin’s eldest di daughter was also the number one candidate for the empress position. For her to not have marriage arrangements, how was it not necessarily because of having this kind of factor inside. Of course, it wasn’t that Sun Yi Lin was eyeing the empress position, but rather, many people all assumed this, thus didn’t dare to rashly scale the Sun family gates to propose a marriage. The most obvious was just, in this moment, many court officials all produced a ‘sure enough it was like this’ feeling. That’s why, Head Cabinet Minister Sun’s daughter, no matter how outstanding, and no matter how noble of a status, ordinary people could only just secretly think about it.

“For this one’s humble daughter to be able to obtain your Majesty’s favor, that is her honor.” As a subject, this kind of thing, he naturally won’t say no to the emperor.

“Since that’s the case, this matter will just be decided as such. As for the specifics, why don’t you all quickly handle.” He paused, “Some things, you can go inquire the Grand Empress Dowager.”

The Grand Empress Dowager Qin-shi, Consort Dowager Qin on the other side, when comparing, Li Tian Lin discovered that the differences seemingly were even quite big. Not only was her bearing somewhat different, even her appearance had all somewhat changed. Clearly, he didn’t know that his actual grandmother also resided inside that Consort Dowager Qin’s body. This woman, although didn’t have that strong of a presence, but to have no children, and also no relation with the two subsequent emperors, yet able to continuously sit in that esteemed position, having unlimited glory and honor, to reach this level of hers, it was also quite impressive.

Sun Yi Lin’s eldest di daughter was currently sixteen, extremely intelligent, and well educated. She was indeed the most optimal candidate among the noble young ladies that Li Tian Lin knew of.

As for Sun Yi Lin, this backbone minister, he was clean and noble, his abilities extraordinary, and he just had his wife by his side, absolutely a prime example among all good men. Back when he was still the Ding Duke Manor’s young master, there were already countless people that admired him, and even now, there were still quite a few people that admired him. Unfortunately, he had deep feelings towards his wife, and absolutely won’t get involved with others.

However, just based on Li Tian Lin’s knowledge, Sun Yi Lin, towards his wife, didn’t really have that deep of a relationship, at most it was just treating each other as honored guests. Li Tian Lin slightly narrowed his eyes. Is it because on this side, he never crossed paths with imperial mother, so he never produced deep feelings?

Speaking of which, if his imperial father were to know that he married Sun Yi Lin’s daughter, he most likely will flip out. Just like for example, that side’s Fu Yun Ting. He clearly didn’t do anything and didn’t participate in anything, but still got targeted by imperial father, getting sorted out in all kinds of ways, truly very innocent. However, on this matter, Li Tian Lin was actually very rational, and won’t because of the matters on the other side, just take his anger out on his current most trusted minister, just don’t know whether that side’s Sun Yi Lin was dead or alive, and where he was at. He’d deliberately asked around before, but after not obtaining any results, he also just gave up.
