Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 465.4: This Can Be Considered Each Showing Off One's Capabilities?

Chapter 465.4: This Can Be Considered Each Showing Off One’s Capabilities?

The more Le Cheng Emperor listened, the more he felt it was reasonable. Originally, Le Cheng Emperor was worried about innocent girls getting cursed by his son, but now, his wife has been his side from almost a year, yet still perfectly fine. First setting aside whether or not Li Hong Yuan’s fate had already changed, with his wife s.h.i.+elding in front, appointing two side consorts now shouldn’t be a problem.

“Is there suitable young ladies among the various officials’ families?” Right now, the few high ranking consorts in the imperial harem were all down, so Le Cheng Emperor decided to personally step in, directly asking upon the imperial court.

The person planning this matter probably never thought that it would be this smooth. One has to know, the people that had this thought actually weren’t in the minority. It wasn’t just because they were unable to withstand their daughters’ pleading, but also because there was truly a lot of benefit to be sought in this matter. As such, as soon as Le Cheng Emperor’s words came out, they rather eagerly stood out to recommend their own daughter.

As the saying goes, when there’s one, there will be two, one after another, the amount really wasn’t small, seemingly all afraid of falling behind.

Le Cheng Emperor’s heated head, at this time, also finally cooled down. When did that b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of his become a fragrant steamed bun? In the past, when mentioning the matter of selecting a consort for his sixth son, each and every one all avoided like the plague. Yet now, every single one of them all wanted to become his cheap father-in-law? The nature of this matter was completely different from previously when certain people were maliciously trying to flatter that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Marriage connections, that was the linking of two surnames. This was already secretly suggesting certain matters.

Le Cheng Emperor’s expression didn’t change. The side consorts still needed to be appointed, just the candidates need to be properly thought over. The status can’t be too high, but it can’t be too low either. “Beloved officials can go back and prepare a small portrait of one’s own family’s young lady, and send into the palace. This emperor will let…….let Shu Consort properly look over, and afterwards, choose two from them.”

As Jing Wan’s grandfather, Luo Pei Shan although remained silent the whole time, his expression was the same as usual, very tranquil.

And in reality, the few true big shots of the court, for the most part, were all like this, seemingly as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Just, in the end, the Head of the Inner Cabinet stood out, “Your Majesty, should we inform Jin Qinw.a.n.g of this matter first?”

If it were others, there was actually no need for this. After all, they will undoubtedly all partic.i.p.ate in the morning court sessions, and when encountering matters relating to ‘their marriage’, they will know no matter what. However, Jin Qinw.a.n.g was different. He can shut his doors for a month and not come out.

Le Cheng Emperor very much wanted to boldly say ‘no need’, but these two words in the end, just circled the tip of his tongue before swallowing back down again. If he selects the person and afterwards directly send over, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d son might really not give him face and directly have the person thrown out. That way, it will truly be embarra.s.sing to the extreme. When time comes, is it punis.h.i.+ng or not punis.h.i.+ng that b.a.s.t.a.r.d? If he punishes, then he would heartache, but if he doesn’t punish, where would his imperial authority lie?

“Then, why don’t beloved Minister Luo take the time to take a trip to Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor?”

This kind of thing, shouldn’t it be a eunuch by his side taking the trip? Letting Luo Pei Shan go, his intention was actually very obvious.

“This subject is at your Majesty’s command.” Luo Pei Shan deferentially responded, not the least bit uncomfortable.

For Luo Pei Shan, this really wasn’t anything, merely sending word, that’s all. Once the message was delivered, he can just clap his hands and leave. On his granddaughter’s side, there was no need for him to console, and this matter, further didn’t need for him to interfere in. He can just wait to watch the play.

After morning court ended, Li Hong Ming went to n.o.ble Consort Su’s place. Rui w.a.n.gfei was already there.

It was obvious, n.o.ble Consort Su had already learned about the matter. Towards this matter, her degree of concern far surpa.s.sed Li Hong Ming and Rui w.a.n.gfei, because she knew, some ‘problems’ can’t be detected. No matter how you mess around, that was just unable to give birth. Even if able to give birth in the past, it didn’t mean that one can always give birth, because these ‘problems’ can come about at any time.

n.o.ble Consort Su at this time appeared very calm, calm to the extent of having the outside world completely blocked off. Afterwards, as if suddenly realizing that there were still people present, “You two can go back first, and wait for my news.”

Rui Qinw.a.n.g and Rui w.a.n.gfei looked to one another. They both discovered that today, consort mother was very out of sorts. However, what kind of personality n.o.ble Consort Su had, they were very clear. They also didn’t ask further, because asking won’t give an answer either, so they could only take their leave.

Once they were gone, n.o.ble Consort Su had all the people by her side sent out. Afterwards, the composure that had been maintained this whole time crumbled in an instant. Her complexion instantly turned deathly pale, and small beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose. In fact, her entire person was unable to sit upright, leaning over against the fancy chair, heavily gasping for breath.

n.o.ble Consort Su tightly clenched her teeth, finally calming down after a long while.

Shortly after, n.o.ble Consort sat up, muttering to herself, “Is it you taking revenge? Because this consort poisoned your son? That’s why, you also want this consort’s son to have no descendants? Clearly it has been so long already, long to the point where even this consort has already forgotten. Indeed, so long ago. If it was really you, and if you really knew, then you would’ve long done something.”

n.o.ble Consort Su ma.s.saged her temples. She already hasn’t slept well in a very long time. Things haven’t been able to become smooth again. It can be said to be exhausting all energy, occasionally even having some ailments, so one can’t blame her for having such a big reaction after learning that her son might have problems. “Good older sister, this consort can wholeheartedly take care of Yuan’er, but who let you, even after dying for that many years, still continuously occupy his Majesty’s heart. Even if Yuan’er’s a ghost child, his threat is still very big. That’s why, this consort can only put an end to future troubles. Don’t blame this consort. As the saying goes, ‘if one does not think for oneself, then the heavens will extinguish^[1]‘. If it was you, you would also do this. ———-Someone come……..”

The palace attendants guarding outside the door hurriedly came in, “Your Highness.”

“Pa.s.s on the word, let Su Old Madam enter the palace.”

“Yes, your Highness.”

Su Old Madam also moved rather quickly. n.o.ble Consort Su pulled along her mother and chatted for about an hour.

n.o.ble Consort Su knew of someone that can confirm her son’s situation, and this person was precisely that traveling doctor that ‘saved’ Li Hong Yuan last year at the White Dragon Temple. That’s why, at the time, when n.o.ble Consort Su learned that a giant white ape had fished up her foster son from the river, she didn’t doubt in the slightest inside, because this traveling doctor, n.o.ble Consort Su had once personally met before. And towards the other party’s medical skills, she’d further witnessed personally, truly witnessing what was called ‘bringing back the dead and growing flesh on bones’. That young manor doctor of Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor was impressive, right? But compared to this one, n.o.ble Consort Su really felt Gong Jiu wasn’t enough to look at.

(T/N: I remember when so many people laughed at the white ape excuse back in chap 82 thinking it was so fake.)

And as luck would have it, that traveling doctor owed her a small favor, giving her a keepsake. That was already something from thirty plus years ago, before she’d married. But, that traveling doctor once said, as long as he was still alive, he can, under the premise of not going against his morality, help her once. The reason why it was said as such was because the traveling doctor has no name nor surname, having no fixed residence, traveling without a goal, so to want to specially look for him, that was for the most part impossible. However, if one has a keepsake, handing over to a special place, then he will appear within three months.

Three months seemingly appeared to be a bit too long, but the other party might be deep in the mountains. Moreover, it wasn’t some mysterious organization either, even needing someone to specially deliver him the keepsake. That’s why, to be able to appear in three months was already very impressive.

All these years, n.o.ble Consort Su has had the keepsake safely stored away, originally planning on giving it to her son after the throne has been determined. By that time, regardless of whether or not the one sitting on the throne was her son, perhaps it can have some use. She never thought that she would come to use it at this time.

The keepsake got taken out of the palace by Su Old Madam. What she needed to do now was just wait.

Towards this matter, n.o.ble Consort Su rather wasn’t scared that there will be troubles afterwards. First, that traveling doctor had no way of learning her ident.i.ty, and second, after this many years, how can that kind of person remember who such an ordinary keepsake was given to. In reality, it’s not that n.o.ble Consort Su never thought of wanting to keep the other party at the time. Unfortunately, just as she revealed a tiny bit of this thought, she instantly fainted. When she woke, the other party had long disappeared without a trace, having no way of finding.

This matter was temporarily left as such.

n.o.ble Consort Su finally recalled in hindsight the matter of her foster son selecting side consorts, letting someone call over the two palace maids she ordered someone to meticulously prepare for her foster son.

The two of them deferentially stood before n.o.ble Consort Su, their expression joyful, and their bearing natural. Never mind their charm, even their appearance was all a bit similar to Jing Wan’s. The two of them may appear like this now, but after stripping off the clothes, n.o.ble Consort Su felt that even for women, their heart would all shake, wanting to nicely grind with them, let alone men.

After successfully training, she originally wanted to look for some excuse to have them sent over, but looking at it now, there was no need. Once the side consorts were decided, she can just directly have them sent before those two to take with them into Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor, so as to avoid her becoming the villain.

Towards this matter, n.o.ble Consort Su was very confident. After all, it was her sending the people. She was a n.o.ble Consort, so there was no way of refusing, and if they want to do well as her ‘daughter-in-law’, having her support to contend against Jin w.a.n.gfei, then they naturally need to curry favor with her.

At last, something was finally taken care of successfully. n.o.ble Consort Su slightly relaxed a little inside.

Although the spoiler I read was so wrong I can’t even call it a spoiler anymore. It was at the point, where I was questioning whether I was reading a spoiler or a fanfic.
