Going Together to Jiangnan (4)

Jin Qinwang gave an order to pick up the speed. The enter procession thus began running along, and from his carriage, not even a single shadow came down. The remaining people…………..
“Certain Jin Wangfei is on the horse carriage?” Someone puzzlingly asked.
“Naturally certain.”
“Then, Jin Wangfei is…………”
“……….going together with Jin Qinwang to Jiangnan?”
They collectively fell into disarray. What did this count as? The man handling an assignment, but as the wife, not staying behind to take care of the home, instead going together with him, what was this?! Even for the high-ranking military officers at the border garrison, at most it was just taking along a concubine to serve at the side. As an esteemed wangfei, how can one be this unacceptable in behavior!?
“Does Sir Luo not want to say a bit of something?” Someone bombarded Luo Pei Shan again.
“The married off young lady like the splashed out water. Right now, she’s the Jin Wangfei, even when this official sees her, all need to bow, so what can this official say?” Luo Pei Shan brushed his sleeves and stated.
So reasonable!
“In other words, Sir Luo long knew about this matter?”
“If this official says, one knows, you all will certainly say ‘as expected’, but if this official says, one did’t know, you all certainly won’t believe either. Then, what do you all want this official to say? This official still has matters at hand, so will just return first. Everyone, do as you please.” Luo Pei Shan confidently and carefreely got on his own horse carriage and left.
Even if stomping their feet in anger, there was still nothing to be done. Just as Luo Pei Shan said, right now, he’s unable to order around Jin Wangfei.
“Everyone, let’s just go back. Since Jin Qinwang took along the person on his own, and his Majesty has ‘nodded in agreement’, we have no reason to meddle in their business anymore.”
“Indeed, the matter is already set in stone, could it be that we even have Jin Wangfei chased back? Let’s go, let’s go.”
Jin Qinwang agreeing, that was certain, but when did his Majesty agree? Those who were unclear as to why just got a roll of the eyes from the others————idiot.
Were Le Cheng Emperor’s words still not clear enough? As long as Jin Qinwang is happy, and as long as it’s not over the top, he can do whatever he wants. It’s just taking his wife to tour Jiangnan, that’s all. Compared to giving other people trouble, this simply wasn’t considered anything at all. Speaking from another perspective, how was it not necessarily a good thing. Things that can’t go through on Jin Qinwang’s side, can go through the madam’s diplomacy. Carrying out the task through Jin Wangfei perhaps will produce an unexpected outcome. Jin Qinwang won’t be lenient towards others, but can he still punish his own wife? Having the person taken along, this was more than enough to prove his high regard.
Having thought this bit through, quite a few people’s mind began working again.

Sure enough, when Le Cheng Emperor learned about the ‘good thing’ Li Hong Yuan did, he also just waved his hand, and didn’t say anything at all.
Just, for those that were lined up waiting to look for Jing Wan to have a heart-to-heart talk, don’t know what kind of expression they should make. The person isn’t even in the capital anymore, so what talk can there be!?
For those that were able to think things through, naturally it was just waving their hand and forgetting about it, but for those that were unable to get over it, it was just feeling that one has gotten ruthlessly screwed over, anger rising to the heavens.
Thinking of the reactions those people might have, Jing Wan was actually quite amused, leaning in Li Hong Yuan’s arms as she happily laughed.
“Just this bit of matter, yet still able to make you this happy? If you can continuously be able smile, then that is for the best.”
Jing Wan jabbed him, “Don’t mention such mood dampening matters right now. Those that have never gotten carriage sick before don’t know how uncomfortable that feeling is.”
“Actually, I have an idea, perhaps can let Wan Wan not suffer, and even be comfortable the whole way.” Li Hong Yuan said with a deeper meaning.
“What is it?” Jing Wan excitedly lifted her head to look at him. Just, seeing his hardly concealed gaze, would she still not know what he wanted to do? She angrily patted him once, “Don’t even think about it.” Surrounding this horse carriage were all some experts with sharp hearing and keen sight. Being shameless under their own people’s ears was also just that, but under outsiders’ eyelids, even if beating her to death, she still wouldn’t have the thick-skin to do something like ‘carriage shaking’, this kind of extremely shameful thing.
Li Hong Yuan had her taken into his embrace, lowering his voice as he softly muttered by her ear, “Wan Wan can not make a sound. This horse carriage, I’ve let someone reinforce before, so when traveling along, others won’t be able to make out movements from the outside. Wan Wan really don’t want to try? Perhaps really won’t feel uncomfortable at all.”
“Shut up.” Jing Wan somewhat angrily said out of embarrassment.
“Alright, whatever Wan Wan says, but as long as Wan Wan needs it, this husband can serve at any time.”
Jing Wan unhesitantly rolled her eyes at him. Even if she suffers to death, she still won’t do this kind of thing.
Li Hong Yuan lifted his brow, declining to comment. When time comes, to really be able to refuse would be for the best. Towards this bit, Li Hong Yuan was still very self-confident. That’s why, right now, he wasn’t worried.
Because there were quite a few people that weren’t their own in the surrounding, Li Hong Yuan didn’t discuss important matters with Jing Wan, just leaning on the bed-couch, rubbing heads together and softly whispering.
This horse carriage’s exterior appear to still be within the criteria of what should belong to a qinwang, but the interior was a completely different story, practically just a small-scale bedroom. ‘The sparrow although small, the vital organs were all present.’ According to Jing Wan’s interpretation, it was one hundred percent just a ‘recreational vehicle’, and moreover, even the extremely luxurious version, striving in comfort and luxury, not leaving either behind.
As time passed, Jing Wan began feeling somewhat unwell, wanting to sleep, but unable to fall asleep.
Li Hong Yuan knew she was uncomfortable, but it was his first time experiencing at such a close range. Her healthy rosy complexion turned pale, just like a healthy person gradually becoming seriously ill. Li Hong Yuan heartached from watching, becoming irritable, no longer in the mood to joke around, just wanting to alleviate her discomfort.
Li Hong Yuan cupped her face, unhesitantly kissing. Jing Wan, after a brief moment of struggle, just began to match with him.
Knowing that Jing Wan was thin-skinned, and moreover, he also didn’t want a bunch of men hearing Jing Wan’s heart-pounding moaning sounds, so even if he wasn’t kissing her, he would still let Jing Wan bite something. And Jing Wan seemingly also never once forgot about the people outside, appearing to be enduring silently, her body tense, yet also strangle feeling aroused.
Li Hong Yuan sensed her change, his irritable mood also disappearing, enjoying this different kind of pleasure, and occasionally even teasing Jing Wan a few words, ‘Still unwell? Does it feel good?’ Jing Wan’s face completely flushed red, yet unable to open her mouth to reprimand him.
Probably because not knowing what evening this evening was, when they finally stopped, the horse carriage had also already stopped, and don’t know how long it has already stopped for.
Jing Wan felt she had no face to meet people. She didn’t dare guarantee that along the way, she didn’t make a sound.
In the area towards the front end of the carriage, the door used as a partition lightly sounded by a knock, with Gong mama’s voice coming through, “Wangye, is wangfei feeling better? We’ve already arrived at the inn, should we rest for a while before continuing on the road?”
“Later, send some warm water in.”
“Yes.”
Gong mama brought two servant girls in, and Li Hong Yuan very quickly came out neatly dressed, unable to tell in the slightest what happened previously. Just, having stayed on the horse carriage for that long, to not be disorderly in the slightest, it wasn’t possible unless sitting upright and still the whole time, but was the living Enma this kind of person? Thus, being overly tidy, instead made it appear even more conspicuous.
Gong mama led the servant girls in tidying up Jing Wan, softly saying a few words to her, consoling Jing Wan’s heart.
Actually, they just stopped recently, and moreover, there indeed weren’t any movements. Just, because they were familiar, that’s why they discovered something off. The others probably won’t know. Previously, they’d already told them that their wangfei will feel unwell riding the carriage for long period of time. This actually wasn’t just Jing Wan’s problem either. Along the way, Jing Wan didn’t let them stop, so no one can criticize anything.
Jing Wan slightly relaxed a breath.
However, seeing Jing Wan’s current complexion, Gong mama and them were actually quite happy. This way made one happier than seeing the sickly wangfei.
Jin Qinwang wanted to rest for two hours. No one could say anything. Even if clearly knowing that they were rushed for time, they still could only pinch their nose and accept.
Jing Wan carried down afterwards by Li Hong Yuan, wrapped tightly in the cloak.
And the room inside the inn was already thoroughly replaced with their own things by the servant girls. Seeing the familiar things, this was the reason why a certain someone insisted on bringing that many things? It was just resting for two hours, was there a need to be this troublesome? Could it be that even to make some food, also need to use the ingredients one brought along? Jing Wan wasn’t too sure, whether or not on a certain carriage, they also brought ice, ensuring the freshness of the fruits and vegetables.
In reality, soon after, Jing Wan just confirmed her thoughts, but towards these things, a certain someone has always been willful. No matter how much she said, it was all useless. Thus, she also could only take care of the other people’s moodiness as much as possible, letting them complain as little as possible. This was also human nature, no?
Thus, a bunch of ‘mortals’, during this arduous journey, ended up enjoying things that they could never even think about before. ‘Those that ate other people’s things can’t complain, and those that took other people’s things can’t extend their hands.’ The people of the qinwang manor all clearly expressed, this was wangfei’s order. Then, thinking back to Jin Qinwang, he really wasn’t that generous of a person. That’s why, this bit didn’t need to be doubted, and on the inside, all unable to criticize Jing Wan for anything anymore. Clearly the willful one was Jin Qinwang.
Seeing Jing Wan inadvertently winning their hearts, Li Hong Yuan indifferently looked on. It’s best if each and every one all feel deeply grateful towards Jing Wan.
Two hours later, they began quickly packing up again, preparing to leave. Jing Wan inadvertently looked back, seeing some ‘single-use’ things get abandoned. Li Hong Yuan ordered someone to burn them. The things his wife used before weren’t something other people can use.
Jing Wan was thoroughly powerless, what remains unseen is deemed to be clean.
The journey afterwards was still relatively smooth. Once they got on the boat, increasing the speed, they didn’t slow down the overall time.
