Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-618-2

Respective Path (2)

As for the person that will soon become his wife, he’d also seen a few times before, but aside from the other party greeting him, there was no other exchange between them. He actually didn’t count on them being able to have deep feelings like imperial father and imperial mother in the future. Some feelings really required experiencing some things in order to become indestructible. However, this kind of relationship can also be fostered. As such, he believed that it absolutely won’t be that far off.

Something that he didn’t think of in the past, in this moment, he actually somewhat looked forward to.

Li Tian Lin could tell, towards becoming his father-in-law, Sun Yi Lin wasn’t that delighted. Thinking it over, he actually can guess the reason.

As such, after morning court ended, Li Tian Lin had him called to the imperial study, directly getting to the point, “Beloved minister can go back and tell your daughter, this emperor will just have an empress and won’t have other women.”

“Your Majesty……….”

Li Tian Lin waved his hand, “This emperor isn’t promising anything with you, because you should also know, it simply isn’t necessary.” His imperial father didn’t need to rely on marrying the daughters of court officials to maintain his rule and position, and he similarly doesn’t need to either. And even if having an enormous harem, the inner palace was also just the inner palace, and the front court was also just the front court. Between the two, there won’t be interference with one another. He won’t because of favoring a woman just deliberately promote the people of her maiden family, and he also won’t because of valuing a court official, just not punish a woman of the imperial harem that was related to them when they commit a crime.

Towards his words, Sun Yi Lin naturally couldn’t understand better. Even if his Majesty really were to have a harem of three thousand, and his daughter endures suffering in the imperial harem all day long, he was also completely helpless. “This subject greatly thank your Majesty.”

“What is there to thank, the more women there are, the more trouble there will be. Having one that’s to one’s liking is enough. If not to one’s liking, then even half would be too much. This emperor merely just wants to make things easier on oneself.” Li Tian Lin was very unconcerned. Having things clearly explained from the start was also nothing more than wanting to have a good start between them as husband and wife, and not marry a wife with random paranoid thoughts that just maintained a relationship on the surface. “Oh right, does that daughter of yours have someone they like already? If she does, then just forget it. This emperor isn’t interested in a woman that has feelings for another man.”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, there absolutely isn’t one.” Ever since Li Tian Lin left the boudoir and started his schooling, Sun Yi Lin was just his imperial tutor, so his understanding towards Li Tian Lin naturally was ample, understanding that his Majesty was just stating the facts, not having any other meaning. And even if his daughter has some problem, as long as it was directly stated, his Majesty also won’t do anything. He was very clear, in a certain sense, his Majesty was also a cold and indifferent person. Things that were unrelated to him, and unrelated to the world, he was never interested in questioning.

“Then, it’s just decided like this, beloved minister can go now.”

“This subject will take one’s leave.”

Even though it was unknown as to why his Majesty’s frame of mind suddenly just opened up, but this indeed was a good thing.

After having the person sent out, Li Tian Lin also began busying himself, carrying out his imperial mother’s new policies. There were many things that needs to be done. Right now, he needs to first list out an outline.

And on the other side, the little crown prince’s pitiful days officially began. There wasn’t the most miserable, just even more miserable.

After a very long period of time, he finally learned that he had a blank period of memories, where he did some shocking things that ‘shook the world’. But, the little crown prince felt that he was very wronged. He clearly didn’t do anything, yet why did it end up getting pinned on his head, each and every one shaking their heads and sighing all day. Don’t assume that by not saying anything, he just won’t know that these people felt that he wasn’t as good as this and that. He was the esteemed crown prince, so how can he be worse than others, practically ridiculous!

The little crown prince was furious.

Originally, Jing Wan was still quite worried for him, because for small children, sometimes, their ego was very strong, and because small, it was very hard for them to self-adjust. She feared that he would be affected by unerasable influences. However, in reality, she’d thought too much, because this simply didn’t happen.

TN: All

This son’s tolerance level was also very strong. Although dejected, he nevertheless wasn’t depressed, instead vigorously started studying. It was very much a stance of ‘So what if this prince doesn’t understand, so what if this prince doesn’t know, could it be that this prince can’t learn? Just wait, this prince will eventually become like imperial father one day, having you all pressed on the ground to wipe the floor!’

For it to end up like this, Jing Wan also didn’t bother anymore. However, speaking of which, it ultimately was still because of his status. No one dared to openly say anything to him.

In this way, the little crown prince’s learning speed rose significantly. In just a few years, his study companions that were several years older than him all got surpassed by him.

And over the years, the little crown prince’s ‘great feat’ when he was five also got more or less forgotten. In this way, the praises towards him actually increased again.

Thus, the little crown prince’s tail just began rising again, becoming exceptionally smug.

Just, he accidentally became too smug, and afterwards, got sorted out by his old man again.

One has to know, in these last few years, Li Hong Yuan for the most part all didn’t bother with him much. Now, it was practically just running straight into the point of the spear on his own.

The eleven year old little crown prince, along with a few servants, stood outside the city gate with a desolate look. His entire person was all still dumbstruck. He just got thrown out of the imperial palace, out of the capital, like this by his imperial father?

Even under the glorified excuse of going to experience and observe the lives of the people in order to become a qualifying heir apparent?

———–Imperial father, you’d never left the capital before in the first twenty or so years of your life, yet still quite wise.

However, these words, the little crown prince could only mutter in his heart.

And regarding this matter, his imperial mother also didn’t have any complaints, saying that reading ten thousand books wasn’t as good as traveling ten thousand miles. His imperial mother even required him to have the local conditions and customs of the various places, and his various encounters, all recorded down one by one and sent back to the capital. One has to know, at present, the ‘postal service’ has already become widespread, so sending letters wasn’t anything difficult.

The little crown prince once suspected that he wasn’t his imperial father’s actual son, and now, he even suspected that he also wasn’t imperial mother’s either. In any case, it’s impossible for his imperial mother to betray his imperial father, but if he also wasn’t his imperial mother’s actual child, then everything just perfectly made sense. However, no matter how perfect, towards his current sad situation, it was also completely useless.

After leaving the capital, at the wayside pavilion, the little crown prince encountered familiar faces. There was his most steady study companion, and also his two Luo family older cousins.

“Knowing that your High…….younger cousin will set out on a journey, the elders at home just let us go together with younger cousin, going out to gain knowledge and experience, and at the same time, can help take care of one another.”

The little crown prince wanted to ruthlessly hug them, really his good brothers! In this way, towards the following journey, he was full of spirit again, filled with expectation.

Speaking of which, even though to this day the little crown prince still doesn’t have any younger brothers or sisters, but he had quite a few younger and older cousins. This was even just counting the Luo family’s. If he were to also count the ones from his maternal aunts’ families, then that amount really was quite enormous.

As for his tang brothers and sisters, he did have a few that he was relatively close to. Speaking of which, the ones in front, quite a few were already discussing marriage. His imperial mother was rather indifferent towards those uncles of his, but towards the younger generation below, she was actually still pretty good. Even his eldest uncle and third uncle that had gotten reduced to commoners, their daughters still married under the status of a junzhu. And the dowry for them wasn’t lacking in the slightest, winning both reputation and the heart.

Perhaps some felt that his imperial mother was too kind, but some things also fully proved that following his imperial mother had plenty of benefits. As long as you were obedient, then everyone can all have meat. Those younger imperial uncles of his, whether or not they can find a good wife, his imperial mother had the final say. To the extent that the people of the imperial clan, in these years, really were incomparably obedient. Those that oppressed and bullied the people absolutely won’t come from the imperial clan. In this way, even ordinary little tyrants restrained themselves, to the extent that the atmosphere of the capital couldn’t be better.

That’s why, there were also those that felt that his imperial mother truly was good at grasping the heart, thus not daring to provoke.

Tsk, imperial father although was used to handling things in a simple and crude way, but imperial mother just happened to be the exact opposite, having the appeasement policy used very skillfully. The former perhaps will use the quick sword to cut through tangled hemp, but the latter can also use the blunt knife to cut flesh. It was hard to say who was more effective, and who was more ruthless. This actually depended on the specific situation. However, it still subconsciously formed into a kind of ‘followers will prosper, opposer will die’ situation. Of course, the ‘follow’ in imperial mother’s eyes was different from the usual sense. On big matters, she has never mixed in personal feelings, terrifyingly rational, to the extent that even someone as softhearted as her, when necessary, also won’t bat an eye when giving the order to kill. The little crown prince has witnessed his imperial mother’s sharp edge and mercilessness before at the time.
