Jingwan subconsciously covered her mouth and then looked around. This place was relatively remote and there weren't many people, so no one noticed them. The people following behind them all looked down and pretended not to see anything. Jingwan finally let out a sigh of relief and glared at this increasingly unscrupulous bastard who didn't care about the occasion.
Li Hongyuan looked at her with a gentle expression and gentle eyes. "Wan Wan, don't be angry. I just couldn't control myself for a moment."
Jingwan had an expression that said "I'd be a fool to believe you". No, even if it was like this, he couldn't do it like this, bastard!
"As expected, the wedding date was set too late." Li Hongyuan seemed to sigh helplessly.
"Your Highness should be glad that you are a favored prince." Jingwan said through gritted teeth.
If he wasn't favored, even if he was a prince, with his grandfather's status, he could delay her marriage until she was sixteen years old. It wouldn't be like now, where everything was in the palm of this bastard's hand and there was no room for negotiation.
"Wan Wan, you really … don't want to marry me?" Li Hongyuan's eyes seemed to be a little hurt.
Jingwan pursed her lips and didn't say anything. This guy was really good to her. In a feudal dynasty where imperial power was supreme, there weren't many people who could be this good to her. Although he had a bad reputation, after he was engaged to her, there didn't seem to be any unbearable rumors. She was the one who chose him, so she naturally wouldn't refuse to marry. She just didn't want to marry so early.
"Wan Wan, you really don't want to marry?" Li Hongyuan's deep affection was tinged with a bit of coldness.
Was this the rhythm of falling out at the slightest disagreement? No, it should be blackening. He wasn't a good person to begin with. His heart, liver, and lungs were all black. If he blackened even more, wouldn't he become like ink from head to toe, inside and out? "Your Highness, you're thinking too much. It's definitely not like that." Jingwan hurriedly promised.
But a certain person's face was dark, as if he didn't believe Jingwan's words at all.
Jingwan wanted to cover her face. When this bastard was nice to her, she had nothing to say, but when his temper flared up, it was hard to coax him. If she didn't coax this bastard now, she would probably suffer tonight. Suddenly, she grabbed him by the collar and stood on her tiptoes. "I'll give you a taste of your own medicine." She let go of him, turned around, and left in a hurry. Damn it, she was too ashamed to face anyone.
Li Hongyuan touched his lips with a smile in his eyes. He was slowly getting to know Jingwan's temper better and better. Most of the time, she was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. However, it was not a problem to be forceful occasionally. However, he could not go too far. If he provoked her temper, she would probably fight with him to the end.
Therefore, it was not useless to have people secretly keep an eye on him for years. At least, he understood Jingwan faster than Jingwan understood him. And Jingwan, who could not figure out his temperament, must have compromised more times.
She continued to stroll slowly on the lantern street. There were so many dazzling and colorful performances that it made people clap their hands and praise. — — Selectively, she forgot what happened just now.
Here, of course, was not as remote as in other places. From time to time, she could meet people she knew. But because of Li Hongyuan's prestige, people usually avoided her in advance unless they accidentally met him face to face. This reduced Jingwan's embarrassment. Not to mention other things, even if they just deliberately glanced at her and said a few words, it was enough to make her uncomfortable.
Unconsciously, she walked to the Thousand Lanterns Tower. She arrived at the right time and happened to see hundreds of people dancing together. They were not women's light movements, nor were they enchanting. Instead, they were men. They were holding torches, heroic and heroic. They changed their formation quickly and powerfully. In the blink of an eye, they even built a human tower with three or four floors. They jumped down and lit a huge water tank, which turned out to be wine. The cheers were endless.
"Your Highness, His Majesty wants to see you." Eunuch Mu said calmly behind Li Hongyuan.
Li Hongyuan looked back and glanced at the palace servants who were standing outside the guards. They were the servants of Emperor Le Chengdi. When they saw Li Hongyuan looking at them, they hurriedly put on a flattering smile. They had no choice. This master was their ancestor. They had to serve him well.
Li Hongyuan withdrew his gaze. "Wan Wan, I can't accompany you tonight. It's not early now. Why don't you go back and rest early?" His father rarely went out to have fun with the people. In the past few years, he had nothing to do, so he just spent time on the side. The other brothers also did the same. This year, he had been absent all the time. Compared to him, some people felt "unaccustomed".
Jingwan didn't know what was going on. She just nodded. She had been out for a long time. She guessed that her grandmother and others had already gone back. "Your Highness, please go. I'll go back in a while."
Li Hongyuan nodded and turned to leave.
However, the palace servant obviously glanced at Jingwan. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Hongyuan also glanced at him. Then, he ignored him and walked away.
The palace servant couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to say anything and followed Li Hongyuan's guards.
Jingwan also realized that he was going to ask her to go with him. However, since he stopped her, Jingwan was quite happy. Whether it was the emperor or a concubine, Jingwan didn't want to see them. Seeing them made her tense and uncomfortable at all times. In this case, she'd better go back early.
Therefore, Jingwan didn't look up even though she knew that those people were at Wan Deng Tower. The performance was coming to an end. After watching it, she walked back slowly.
At Wan Deng Tower, Li Hongyuan saw Emperor Le Chengdi. He took off his cloak and Eunuch Mu hurriedly took it.
Li Hongyuan walked to Emperor Le Chengdi. "This son greets Imperial Father."
Emperor Le Chengdi glanced at him. "Your wife didn't come up?"
"Imperial Father, please be careful with your words. This son and Miss Luo haven't married yet. Don't tarnish her reputation."
Emperor Le Chengdi almost vomited blood. Who was the ghost who hadn't seen his wife for eight lifetimes? It was because of his suppression and the reputation of this vile creature, Gui Jianchou, that no rumors had spread. But now, he was actually "making false accusations"? Sure enough, he shouldn't have asked him to come. He was asking for it. "Get out. I don't want to see you."
Li Hongyuan glanced at Emperor Le Chengdi as if to say: Since you don't want to see him, why did you ask him to come? You're simply making trouble for no reason.
Emperor Le Chengdi magically understood at that moment. Because he understood, he felt even more depressed. Why did he raise such an unfilial son? He and Wanru were obviously not like this. Who did this bastard take after?
Li Hongyuan was considerate this time. He didn't really leave but sat down next to Emperor Le Chengdi.
Emperor Le Chengdi obviously snorted with "disdain", but didn't say anything.
The performance was wonderful, and the other princes and ministers were occupied with it. Who knew what the father and son were talking about and doing, right?
As soon as Jingwan returned home, she was told that her sister-in-law's Sun Yijia had a relapse. She was stunned at first, and then immediately came to her senses. She had expected it. Even today, it was not strange. After all, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a good day. The little guy really knew how to pick the time. However, it was said that the first baby was relatively slow. Today was almost over, so the possibility of the baby being born today was not big. The little guy should be born a little earlier.
The old maid guarding the door told her at this time probably to please her. Jingwan was not stingy and asked the maid to reward her directly. The old maid smiled from ear to ear.
"When did sister-in-law have a relapse?"
"Third Young Lady, not long after you went out, Third Young Madam had a relapse."
In this way, she didn't send anyone to inform them. Everything was ready. Without them, there would be no hindrance. She wouldn't give birth for a while. The couple probably thought so too.
Jingwan didn't go back to the Haitang House to change clothes. She went directly to the yard next door. Outside the delivery room, the female elders were all there. Luo Jingbo kept walking in circles outside the door, looking very nervous.
However, Jingwan was shocked by Sun Yijia's cry. Wasn't it just a short time? Why did she cry so hard? What would happen when the baby was born? Or was it really very painful at this time?
"Wan Wan is back."
"Grandmother, sister-in-law is …"
"Wah, wah, wah …"
Before Jingwan finished a sentence, she heard a loud cry. Was she giving birth? Jingwan was really stunned.
"She gave birth, she gave birth …"
Everyone was very happy. Madame Luo also stood up at once. Then, she saw Jingwan in a daze and couldn't help but pinch her face, "What's wrong?"
"She gave birth? Isn't it said that the first child is slow? "Jing Wan said subconsciously, looking like she was still in a daze.
"You silly child." Madame Luo couldn't help but pinch her again, "It varies from person to person. Your sister-in-law is so fast. Although it's rare, it's not unheard of. Besides, if she gives birth quickly, she will suffer less. Isn't it good?"
Jingwan finally came back to her senses, "Of course it's good. The sooner the better." She also showed a sincere smile of joy.
"Mother, if you ask me, this child has a special fate with Third Young Lady. Didn't Third Young Lady come out as soon as she was born? Didn't she come out to see her biological aunt?" Wang Shi said with a smile.
"That's right. Isn't that the case? When she was in her mother's womb, this aunt worried a lot."
Although Jingwan didn't care about such words, she was quite happy now.
The midwife quickly came out with the properly treated child and opened the door, "Congratulations, Madame Luo. Third Young Madam has given birth to a little daughter." When she said this, although she was smiling, she looked at Madame Luo with a little caution.
"Good, good, good. You will be rewarded." Madame Luo took the child with a smile and weighed it, "It's quite heavy."
Seeing that Madame Luo was not unhappy, the midwife's smile became more sincere. If this family didn't like girls, they might be angry. "Yes, the child is 6.92 pounds."
Obviously, the midwife thought too much. With Jingwan as a precedent, not to mention Madame Luo, even the entire second branch would not dislike Sun Yijia for giving birth to a daughter. They might even like her more and dote on her more. Even Sun Yijia herself said that she wanted a child like her aunt.
Jingwan did a little calculation. Qi Yuan was also 16 ounces per catty, but she estimated that it was more than 600 grams per catty. In this way, according to the calculation in her previous life, this child should be more than 8 catties, maybe close to 9 catties. Jingwan couldn't help but feel a little shocked and a little scared. This was obviously a little big. In this era where one careless mistake could lead to the death of two people, sometimes it would be better to have a smaller child. "Where's my sister-in-law? How is she?"
"Yes, yes. Where's Yijia? How is Yijia?" Luo Jingbo also hurriedly asked.
Jingwan glanced at him. Her body was still a little tense, and it seemed that she just came back to her senses.
"Third Young Mistress gave birth smoothly. There won't be any problems. This old woman has been delivering babies for so many years, and this is the first time that Third Young Mistress has had such a smooth delivery."
Luo Jingbo sighed, "That's good."
Jingwan also felt relieved. If something happened to the adults, it would be really …
Madame Luo handed the child to Luo Jingbo. There was a saying that a man would carry a grandchild but not a child, but she didn't do that, "This is your daughter. Hug her properly and be close to her. Don't be like your old man who doesn't act like a father."
Luo Jingbo was at a loss. He didn't know how to hug her.
On the other hand, Madame Zhang, who wanted to hug her granddaughter, was at a loss. Her husband didn't act like a father, and she didn't act like a mother either.
But at this time, no one was paying attention to her. Everyone's attention was on the child. Madame Luo carefully adjusted Luo Jingbo's posture and slapped his arm, "Relax. The child will be uncomfortable if you're too stiff. It's still cold, and the swaddling clothes are thick. If it's summer, you can't carry the child like this."
Luo Jingbo also wanted to relax, but the problem was that this was not something he could control.
"Third Brother, let me hug her." Jingwan also felt a little itchy.
Madame Luo took the child and handed it to Jingwan.
It wasn't that Jingwan had never carried a child before, but this was the first time that she was carrying a newborn, so she was very careful and didn't make any mistakes.
"Ah, the little guy opened his eyes." Jingwan looked at the child and said in surprise.
"It seems that this child really likes you, his biological aunt, the most."
"Of course." Jingwan couldn't help but feel proud.
After the room was cleaned up, Jingwan and the others went in to take a look. Sun Yijia was awake and seemed to be in good spirits.
When Luo Shangshu returned to the fu, he was very happy to know that he had a great-granddaughter.
The next day, all the servants in the fu received another reward.
This was what Luo Jingbo and Sun Yijia had agreed on. They didn't necessarily need to express their concern for the child in such a way. Moreover, the child was a girl. No matter how their own family members saw it, in the eyes of outsiders, she was definitely not as noble as Sun Jinji, the eldest son of the eldest son. Even if the child was a boy, he would probably be considered inferior. If it was too grand, it would instead attract gossip. Moreover, the child was born at a good time. If the child's fortune was too great, it was best to keep a low profile.
After the Lantern Festival, the inside and outside of the imperial court became busy again.
Whether this undercurrent was surging or not, it had nothing to do with Jingwan and the others.
On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head. At the same time, it was also Jingwan's birthday. She was fifteen years old.
According to reason, it should be done once, but Jingwan refused. She would be married in a month. The person she was marrying was a prince. At that time, it would be very grand. There was really no need to be extravagant now. It was simply extravagant and wasteful.
Therefore, she didn't even invite her relatives and friends. She just held a small celebration for her own family. Jingwan received gifts from her relatives.
Other people aside, Li Hongyuan's gift would definitely not be lacking.
Jingwan expressed that her small storeroom was almost full. Jin Qinwang, can you take it easy? When the time comes, these things will have to follow her. Moving things will also be very tiring. A certain person turned a deaf ear.
On the fifteenth day of the second household's di eldest granddaughter's one month old. Similarly, it was just a small celebration. The little guy was already wrinkled at the beginning and had grown white and tender. She also gained a lot of weight. Her small hands and feet were like lotus roots. She looked very cute and strong. Little Wang-shi was very envious, "When my child was one month old, she was far worse than this little guy."
"That child was just born a little worse. If she is raised well, there will definitely be no problem."
The next day, Jin Qinwang and Jingwan sent betrothal gifts.
Generally speaking, the prospective bridegroom would personally send betrothal gifts to the female side. As a descendant of the Heavenly Crown, they would basically not personally send betrothal gifts. However, Li Hongyuan did so.
The betrothal gifts and the Nacaili were basically fixed. However, on the Nacaili, Li Hongyuan "did a good deed". No one thought that he would stop this time. Jingwan could only hope that he would restrain himself a little.
However, when Jingwan saw the things, sure enough, she was still too naive. In Jin Qinwang's dictionary, there were no such words as "low-key" and "restrain".
This time, Li Hongyuan did not find trouble with the Imperial Household Department. However, with the previous example, the Imperial Household Department did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. The things they used were the best. The quantity, other than the hard and fast rules, was doubled according to the last time.
In the end, these things were sent to Jin Qinwang fu. Obviously, Li Hongyuan was preparing to send the gifts from his own wangfu.
The entire street where the Luo family was located, from the end of the street to the end, was filled with boxes tied with red silk. Looking at the gait of the people carrying the boxes, one would know that the contents were definitely solid. Some of the things that were not suitable to be put into the boxes looked ordinary. The most unusual ones were probably those two golden deer. Their skin was smooth and glossy, and their antlers looked sturdy and strong. It must be said that when the betrothal gifts were sent to the families of high officials and nobles, they would only use deerskin as a gift.
Should it be said that Jin Qinwang was indeed worthy of being called Jin Qinwang, such a big hand.
When all the things were lined up in the front yard of the Luo family, they were packed to the brim, stacking up to two or three layers high.
The four Quan Fu furens who came to send the betrothal gifts were all Li Hongyuan's elders. If they were not Qinwang Fei, then they were Junwang Fei.
When Old Madame Luo saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched. When she received the list of gifts from the matchmaker, she flipped through it page by page. Old Madame Luo really wanted to ask Li Hongyuan, in your eyes, did our family treat Wan Wan so harshly? Are you sending the betrothal gifts, or are you directly giving our family's granddaughter a dowry? With these things, other than the furniture and the dowry, the Luo family did not need to prepare anything else?
