Amusement, State of War (2)

This sleep just lasted until the late afternoon, purely getting awaken by hunger.
Jing Wan snuggled against Li Hong Yuan’s arms, “Can we get up now? Really hungry.”
“En.” Li Hong Yuan faintly responded, letting go of Jing Wan, but he himself didn’t move.
“What, you still don’t want to get up.” Jing Wan hugged his head, using her nose to touch his nose.
Li Hong Yuan also took the opportunity to stroke Jing Wan’s smooth and soft back, “Don’t want to move.”
The living Enma lazing in bed also wasn’t that rare, occasionally happening in the past.
“Then just get up and eat a bit of something before sleeping more.”
“En.” His voice lowered even more, even carrying a nasal sound, seemingly as if he will very quickly fall asleep again.
Jing Wan was helpless. In any case, he was quick, so it’s not too late to just call him once everything was ready.
Jing Wan nimbly got up, closing the bed curtains again, before calling for her servant girls to come in to serve her.
Because Li Hong Yuan didn’t get up, everyone’s movements were all very light, but it didn’t get in the way of them working efficiently.
Once Jing Wan was ready, she got up to go out. The servant girls tidied up the things and quickly followed after her. The one that stayed at the very end was just Gong mama, quietly walking to the bedside, “Will wangye be getting up?”
Li Hong Yuan this while had already sat up, one hand propping up against the bed, while the other hand rested against the bent knee. Raising his head, the brocade quilt slid to his waist, exposing his muscular upper body. Of course, it was also covered all over in all kinds of love marks. At present, Jing Wan was no longer the bashful little wife that won’t ‘retaliate’ and ‘bite back’.
“Bring a mirror over.”
“Yes.” Gong mama moved quickly, fetching over a medium sized mirror.
Li Hong Yuan opened his eyes in the mirror, and immediately just tossed it aside. The situation was worse than expected. Although it already wasn’t as obvious as it was in the beginning, one was still able to make out the problem at a glance, “Let Gong Jiu come over, just say this prince has a headache.”
Gong mama frowned, taking away the mirror. The excuse was actually for wangfei. Wangye’s situation, the people that were relatively close to him were all aware of. When he came back, Gong mama had also seen clearly. Prior to that, Gong Jiu actually had already applied a few needles, but it could only speed up the recovery, unable to immediately have the desired effect.

Learning that her own husband has a headache, Jing Wan naturally couldn’t sit still, hurriedly entering and lifting open the bed curtains. “Ah Yuan…………”
Li Hong Yuan’s body was definitely the healthiest Jing Wan has ever seen, with no exception. Headaches and such simply have never happened before, so suddenly learning of it, how can she not worry.
“Quickly lie down.” She had him pressed back down, reaching out to massage his temples.
“It’s nothing, might just be that there was a lot on my mind yesterday. It’ll be fine after resting a little.”
Jing Wan pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Yesterday’s matter can only become a secret between them, unable to tell anyone, so at present, it naturally wasn’t good to say.
Even if it’s the manor doctor, entering the master’s bedroom, they still don’t dare to carelessly look around.
Gong Jiu went through the procedures, asking Li Hong Yuan of his condition. In reality, he had an understanding inside, similarly just doing it for wangfei to see. When putting on a play, it needs to be the full set.
Gong Jiu promised Jing Wan that it was just a small problem.
“Wan Wan, why don’t you go eat. Right now, I don’t want to eat. When you finish, you can come back to keep me company.” Hearing Jing Wan clearly relax a breath, Li Hong Yuan thus said.
Since it was a small problem, Jing Wan naturally won’t be worried to the point of being unable to eat, “Then I’ll go first, you be good.”
Li Hong Yuan’s eyes were still closed, his entire person like as if he was still sleepy, lazily smiling, “It’s not like I’m a three year old child, even scared of needles and throwing a tantrum.”
“It’s not about being scared, but rather not listening to the doctor’s advice.” Jing Wan, in a place where the others couldn’t see, just rolled her eyes at him before leaving.
Once Jing Wan left, the atmosphere just completely changed, cold and completely lacking human warmth. Li Hong Yuan naturally maintained his stance as the master, and the others strictly abided by their duties as the subordinate and servant, not daring to overstep in the slightest, “Gong Jiu, regardless of what method you use, in at most six hours, you must let it return to normal.”
“Wangye, don’t worry, don’t need that much time.”
“That is for the best.” He once again closed his eyes, letting Gong Jiu apply the needles.
When Jing Wan entered again, there was only just Li Hong Yuan left in the room. The babu bed’s bed curtains were hung up, and Li Hong Yuan was quietly sleeping near the bedside. He didn’t have that usual scary aura that made people want to immediately withdraw from far away, appearing very harmless, also appearing quite handsome, making one unable to look away.
“Wan Wan, this is having been captivated by this husband?” Li Hong Yuan teased.
“You didn’t open your eyes, yet you know?”
“How can I not, what Wan Wan is like, this husband naturally is very clear.”
Jing Wan walked over, sitting by the bedside, “Not sleeping a little more? Or how about I feed you a bit of something?”
“Can’t sleep, but right now, don’t really want to eat either. Come up, lay with me.” Li Hong Yuan lazily patted the spot next to him.
“How boring is that, how about I look for two travel notes or storybooks to read to you?”
“Alright.”
When it comes to books, there were some in the room already, having all kinds, for the most part all not some ‘proper books’, used just to pass the time.
After picking two books, Jing Wan climbed onto the bed. Li Hong Yuan just automatically lied on her lap, appearing exceptionally content and pleased.
Jing Wan read the book out loud. Although it wasn’t read with great emotions and cadence, she still maintained a very good rhythm, neither too fast nor too slow, sounding very soothing.
Li Hong Yuan entirely emptied out his mind, sinking into tranquility, naturally just recovering quickly. At a certain time, even if not using a mirror to check, Li Hong Yuan still knew that his eyes were more or less fine now.
“Eh, there’s some wisps of blood in your eyes, does Gong Jiu know?” Jing Wan touched the corners of Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, carefully looking over.
“Already looked over earlier, it’s nothing.”
“I can’t believe I didn’t notice earlier.” Jing Wan was a bit upset, “But just applying the needle is enough? Don’t need to take medicine?”
“No need, right now, I feel very good.” Li Hong Yuan sat up, hugging Jing Wan, his chin rubbing against the top of her head, softly chuckling, “This husband is hungry now, what to do?”
“If you’re hungry, then naturally it’s eating something, what else can be done. You really are a three year old, but even three year olds know this.” Jing Wan patted him, “Quickly, let go.”
“But this husband wants to eat Wan Wan.” Li Hong Yuan nuzzled against Jing Wan, unwilling to let go.
“Not giving, your appetite is good, but I’m not good.”
“Where are you not good, clearly soft and delicate, even smelling fragrant, truly making one’s appetite grow.”
Li Hong Yuan reached for Jing Wan’s ticklish spot, deliberately being mischievous, as he gently tickled a few times. Jing Wan couldn’t stop laughing. No matter how she pleaded, it was all useless. When truly unable to endure any longer, she grabbed him and ruthlessly took a bite, forcefully struggling herself free. Just, because her footing wasn’t stable, she directly rolled down from the bed.
With his entire body and mind relaxed, Li Hong Yuan’s reaction was a bit slower than usual, thus not catching her in time. Hearing Jing Wan cry out, his complexion entirely changed, hurriedly wanting to climb down the bed, but he instead saw Jing Wan get up, bitterly glaring at him, like an angry little cat, polishing her claws, ready to scratch someone. It was clear she was fine. Li Hong Yuan calmly sat back down again, hooking his lips into a smile, and propping up his cheek, watching Jing Wan with full of interest.
Jing Wan’s clothes and hair were messy, even having a portion of her hair messily covering her face. That appearance was really like a crazy person. Li Hong Yuan increasingly found it funny, and afterwards, just unrestrainedly laughed out loud.
As soon as Gong mama heard Jing Wan cry out, she just subconsciously burst in and just saw such a scene, momentarily not knowing what to say. Youngsters these days, really…………
Gong mama went forward to have Jing Wan supported up, “Even if wangye and wangfei want to play around, still need to have a bit of propriety, don’t actually get hurt.”
Jing Wan brushed away the hair on her face, a bit embarrassed. Although this was someone very close by her side, in the end, she has never been this unsightly before, her face a bit hot, “Mama don’t worry, I’m fine.”
While Jing Wan said this, Li Hong Yuan directly contradicted, “Mama is right, this prince will be careful in the future.”
Jing Wan glared at him. This can be considered playing around behind closed doors, saying it to a third person, what is that for? Moreover, his tone was even that serious, please, at least put away the laughter in your eyes first. To make fun of her as such, and afterwards, even completely pretend it didn’t happen?
“Mama help me tidy up and then let the back kitchen prepare some food.” She decided to ignore him. This man, the more you give him attention, the more spirited he gets.
“Yes, will wangye be getting up?”
“Alright.” Li Hong Yuan brushed aside the hair hanging over his chest. Even if not properly dressed, he was still that incomparably noble Jin Qinwang.

What a fun little chapter. I don’t quite understand what he needed ‘healed’ within 6 hours, but I vaguely remember a few mentions about his eyes in earlier chapters. So it’s just his old issue flaring up? I like that he was actually able to genuinely laugh (even if it was at poor Wan Wan’s expense hehe). Being playful like this is good for the soul and the relationship (since she wasn’t actually hurt).
Thank you, as always, for all your work and talent, Jen 😀 <3
He didn’t want to let Jing Wan see his bloodshot eyes and scare her.
