Chapter 611.1: Mother and Son

Mother and Son (1)

Of course, regardless whether or not it conformed with common sense or not, it all wasn’t something they can question. The only thing they needed to do was just carry out the order.

When the ‘little crown prince’ was in the palace, he’d already thoroughly put down his status, happily learning to be a child. Now that he has left the palace, he was further like an off-reins wild horse, happily running around everywhere. And the place Jing Wan took him to was also a bustling and lively district in itself. Even if he ‘randomly scurried around’, she also didn’t stop him, just letting Hei Mei follow behind at all times. Of course, she knew that there were also people hidden in the dark. How to put it, although on the matter of leaving palace, she’d carried out secretly, but as long as a certain someone was willing, there won’t exist any secrets in the palace, especially since she has left the palace. It was impossible for him to not know. That’s why, towards their safety, Jing Wan wasn’t worried in the slightest.

Right now, what was uncertain was just how long they can stay outside of the palace. The length of this time will just signify……..

Jing Wan watched her son being excited and curious, looking here and there, but he will always turn back from time to time, always needing to confirm her location. Afterwards, he would reveal a big smile, and then continue looking at those things. Sometimes, when seeing something fun, or perhaps feeling that something was novel, he would even waved his hand, “Mother, quickly come look.” Towards his new identity, he also adapted very well.

Jing Wan usually would also very much cooperate, and towards many little things, she clearly was all very familiar, thus softly explaining for him.

At a glance, it was just a lively and cute son, and a gentle and loving mother. In addition to the two of them both dressed impressively, having extraordinary bearing, thus certainly either wealthy or noble, they attracted quite a bit of attention.

The little crown prince’s appearance mostly took after Li Hong Yuan. When young, he just appeared exceptionally pretty and adorable. And Jing Wan, although not a first class stunning beauty, but in the streets, she was absolutely a crane in a flock of chickens, appearing exceptionally conspicuous.

Jing Wan wasn’t particularly low-key in taking her son out of the palace either. If encountering familiar people, they for the most part would immediately be recognized. However, it was obvious, Jing Wan didn’t care. As for whether or not the court officials will submit a memorandum accusing her of misconduct after getting discovered? Heh, Jing Wan felt that it was more likely for them to turn a blind eye, pretending to not know, because in their view, this certainly was something that his Majesty has permitted. When time comes, never mind not having any use, they might even offend her Highness. Even if his Majesty has returned, her Highness not only still was able to be involved in politics, she was practically sharing the throne with his Majesty. Moreover, some new policies, for the most part, were all advocated by her Highness. Even though his Majesty certainly also played an enormous role in it, but for his Majesty to have her Highness pushed out to carry out, his attitude was very obvious. Additionally, among the people and even among the scholars, her Highness’s prestige was all extremely high. To lack neither fame nor power, this kind of person, how can one easily provoke?

“All say the capital is a place where illustrious individuals gives spirit to the land, these words really weren’t said in vain. The beauty not only is beautiful on the surface, but further beautiful in spirit.” By the window of a certain teahouse’s second floor, a young gentleman stared at the streets outside and said as such.

“Yo, what kind of beauty is able to let my brother praise as such. Let me have a look too.” Another person to the side extended his head outward, and without even needing to say anything, he just discovered who his good brother was looking at, “Tsk, indeed out of the ordinary, just unfortunately, the flower is already taken, even already a mother.”

“Where, let this young master also have a look.” The third person directly walked two steps to the window-side, even holding a cup of wine in hand. Just as he downed half a cup, he immediately just spat it out, and afterwards, let out a violent cough. However, he simply didn’t have the time to bother, turning around and grabbing his two stupid friends, vigorously pushing inward. After confirming that they absolutely won’t be seen by the people outside, “You bastards, quickly shut up, that’s the emp—–coughcoughcough, cough…….” After recovering a little, “All in all, the other party’s status is esteemed, absolutely can’t be joked about.”

As he spoke, his heart madly beat. Why was her Highness the Empress outside of the palace? He rather wanted to deceive himself by saying that perhaps was just someone that looked similar. However, a person looking similar wasn’t strange, but to look similar and have a similar bearing, how many can there be? Her Highness certainly will have guards by her side. Since it was going out in plain clothes, then the guards certainly will be disguised too. Anyone outside all might be one. Who knows whether or not they’ve noticed them. If by chance their greatly disrespectful words got heard, heavens, practically didn’t dare to imagine what the outcome will be.

Right now, can only hope that he’d thought too much.

The other two nearly got overturned by his abrupt movement. However, hearing his words, as well as seeing that bitter expression of his, they also knew that afraid it really was unordinary, “What’s wrong, their background very big?”

“Very very big.” The entire world all belong to their family. Her Highness even held actual power in hand. Moreover, based on Qi Yuan’s current national power, no one dared to challenge the sharp blade. As the most esteemed and honorable woman in the world, that was absolutely true in every sense of the word.

Just, they’d only came out to drink tea out of boredom. Normally, they won’t set foot in this kind of place. Originally, there wasn’t anything at all, but who let them be used to being ‘cheeky’ normally. Actually, if it was anyone else, it would’ve been fine, but it just had to be…….

Thinking to here, he ruthlessly slapped his own mouth.

TN: All

The other two, seeing him like this, also knew that the matter might not be good. The other party’s background perhaps was even scarier than they’d imagined. After all, this brother of theirs, for better or worse, was a first rank high minister family’s young master. Even though, because of being incompetent and without learning, he was somewhat disdained by his family, but if something really were to happen, his family won’t really disregard him. That’s why, the other party was actually the kind of person that even a first rank high minister would all need to lower their head to? Just thinking about it, they really couldn’t help but shiver.

Opening their mouth, they wanted to ask the other party’s specific identity, but after thinking about it, they gave up on the idea. As the saying goes, ‘the ignorant have no fear’. If they really were to know, then afraid they would just feel even worse. “Actually, about that, our words just now, probably won’t be heard, right?”

“The person in question may not have heard, but what about others?”

That’s why, right now, what can they do? Pray!

They tucked their necks for a while, and afterwards, carefully peeked outside. The person was already gone. Phew, looks like it’ll be fine.

However, although in a certain sense this was just a very small incident that couldn’t be smaller, after such an experience, these people all turned over a new leaf. At least, on normal days, they didn’t dare to casually make careless remarks anymore. Even at the brothels, they all couldn’t help but be reserved.

This kind of thing, Jing Wan probably all didn’t think of.
