Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 203.1: Shifted Ahead of Time

Chapter 203.1: s.h.i.+fted Ahead of Time

The Jing Wan nowadays was different from the past. Even if there were banquets hosted by princesses and junzhus, no one dared to trouble her. On the contrary, there was even a pile of people praising her. Despite being completely lacking in verses and poetry, not at all proficient in the four arts, and even if it was just quietly sitting there, being a little glutton, some people would still be able to have her praised into a flower.

In reality, they really weren’t just purely revolving around Jing Wan. The various newly released skin care ointments from the Rouge Pavilion, although expensive, but aside from those elaborately packaged sets, where there was only one of, the rest, for them, really weren’t considered much. And when using, there wasn’t any pressure at all. Originally, probably no one would go track down whose hands these all came from, but who let the people of the Luo family have special privileges. Even the ones that have already married off, every month, they would still have their ‘discounted share’ that was more than enough for them to use. Moreover, Jing Wan herself was already a walking signboard. There will inevitably be a time when someone notices. Now, these upper cla.s.s n.o.ble daughters, for the most part, all knew it came from her hands, and it was all considered common knowledge. Previously, there was never an appropriate opportunity, but now, it couldn’t be better. As long as it was a girl that loved beauty, for them to look for Jing Wan, it wasn’t surprising at all.

Because these people all understood propriety, Jing Wan was also rather willing to share with them some skincare techniques. As for whether or not someone will be insatiable and greedy, believing that she didn’t have the real secrets given out, that just has nothing to do with her. She didn’t have that obligation, and these people at most would just privately say a few words. They really didn’t dare to offend her on the surface. That’s why, having a big backing was also quite refres.h.i.+ng.

Jing Wan felt, as time goes on, she most likely will also corrupt.

Because this kind of relatively relaxed atmosphere, even if it was daily banquets, Jing Wan still attended all of them.

And when her ‘greatest backing’ once again visited at night, Jing Wan for the most part was all calm and collected. Seeing that a certain someone purely just hugged her and slept, Jing Wan even had the leisurely mood to chat and joke with him, for instance, how Yu Yao wants to ask for a dowry from him and whatnot.

Li Hong Yuan just faintly agreed, saying he’ll just send it to her tomorrow.

Jing Wan just a.s.sumed he was joking. However, the next day, Jing Wan didn’t go attend a banquet, because she got called over by the Grand Elder Princess. Being at the Grand Elder Princess’s place, no one would dare say anything. Saying things like not having anyone in her eyes and whatnot, the Grand Elder Princess ignored into the oceans.

Jing Wan saw the things displayed before her. In total, just ten kinds, two half-a-person tall coral trees that were exceptionally pure in color, a pair of one foot tall jade vases that were even in color and l.u.s.ter, with ample transparency, a box of evenly sized gold-pink^[1] pearls that were l.u.s.trous and without the slightest blemish, also a box of the highest quality gemstones……………

Tsk, these things, roughly estimating, the price should be…………Alright, because ‘the rarer something is, the greater its value’, that’s why, it actually wasn’t easy to a.s.sess. In some people’s eyes, perhaps it was priceless, but in other people’s eyes, it perhaps wasn’t worth a cent. However, without a doubt, these were all treasure among treasures. “Adoptive mother, these things………..”

The Grand Elder Princess somewhat meaningfully looked to her, the corner of her mouth containing a smile, “Hong Yuan had someone send them over.”

Jing Wan’s heart slightly jumped, but her expression didn’t change. “Is that so.”

“For Yu Yao.” The Grand Elder Princess continued.

“As the older cousin, sending one’s younger cousin some things, isn’t that only natural?” Jing Wan lightly smile.

“Regardless whether it’s the actual sisters, the female cousins, or the tang sisters, Hong Yuan has only ever sent Princess Min Xiang things before. This time, sending little Yu Yao this many priceless things, even indicating it was dowry………….” The Grand Elder Princess looked to Jing Wan with an ambiguous smile, making Jing Wan’s scalp somewhat numb. In fact, she didn’t even know how to follow-up these words. “As the older cousin, wanting to add dowry for one’s younger cousin, that is still waiting until the wedding day. There’s still several years to wait from now. However, most importantly, the older cousin didn’t send the things as the older cousin, but rather in the name of a brother-in-law (older sister’s husband). Wan Wan, why don’t you a.n.a.lyze for me, what kind of situation is this?”

Even with Jing Wan’s thick skin, facing the Grand Elder Princess’s gaze, it was still somewhat unbearable, her face slightly burning. “w.a.n.gye’s intentions, how is this daughter able to guess. However, since they’ve been sent over, adoptive mother can just accept them for Yu Yao.”

The Grand Elder Princess, pretending to be serious, nodded, “En, since Wan Wan said to accept them, then I’ll just accept them for Yu Yao.”

This had nothing to do with her at all, don’t make it like with her saying ‘no problem’, just really completely do as told. Alright, if not for her mentioning it last night, then today, she probably wouldn’t get laughed at. However, she still inwardly recorded a mark on Li Hong Yuan in her heart———–Although recorded, just don’t know whether or not there will be a day to settle the score.

Fortunately, the Grand Elder Princess didn’t ask her when she said these things to Jin Qinw.a.n.g. Towards the Grand Elder Princess, who she’s similarly already viewed as her close family, Jing Wan really didn’t want to lie to her. However, the future husband visiting at night, this kind of thing, can it be said?

Speaking of which, Yu Yao, towards the other things, didn’t have any thoughts, but small children seemingly, by nature, just didn’t have any resistance towards pretty round shaped things. That’s why, she was eyeing that box of pearls to begin with, and after learning that it was hers, just held onto it, refusing to let go.

Pearls were relatively common. Of course, high quality ones were comparatively scarce, forever just having a very small portion of people capable of coming in contact with them. Ones suitable for children to use were still the white and pink ones. Gold gave off a prominently n.o.ble air, and using on children, it was very incompatible. However, this box of pearls were gold-pink, so the gold color wasn’t heavy to begin with. For Yu Yao to use now, it was also fine. The little girl already knew about being beautiful, sticking to her mother’s side, chattering on about wanting to use the pearls to make this and that.

Pearl flowers, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, she all wanted.

(T/N: Pearl flowers are just head ornaments made from pearls into the shape of a flower. See the example pic below.)

The Grand Elder Princess appeared very helpless, but her brows were smoothed out, her eyes containing a smile. It can be seen, towards Yu Yao, she genuinely adored and pampered.

However, as the Grand Elder Princess’s youngest di daughter, wasn’t it just letting people cup in the palm from birth. Especially since this princess wasn’t like majority of princesses, empty with just the t.i.tle, the family at odds, and also lacking the Emperor’s favor.

In a blink of an eye, the twentieth of the sixth month came. Jing Wan’s invitation had also long been sent out. However, because Luo Old Madam didn’t plan on getting involved, the people she invited were all unmarried young ladies, the princesses and junzhus occupying a large proportion. It couldn’t be helped. The people accompanying the Emperor out for the summer holiday, more than half held the surname Li.
