Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife-Chapter 622.2: They Are Different

They Are Different (2)

Li Tian Lin roughly knew what she was thinking. This wife was a year older than him, and also sufficiently outstanding, her temperament also good, but presumably, when at home, she’d gotten sheltered quite well, as such, her nature was relatively simple. In Li Tian Lin, this old fox’s eyes, he completely didn’t have her viewed as an ‘older sister’. Pinching her face, “What’s wrong, you’re going to be the empress soon, not happy?” He said, half-teasing.

“No, not that, just, that…..”

“I understand your meaning, don’t think too much.” Li Tian Lin paused, feeling that some things, it was better to directly state clearly, “Imperial father is someone that doesn’t care for the throne, even viewing it as dispensable. For him, holding power in hand, it’s just not wanting to reside under others, and also for imperial mother’s sake. As for imperial mother, she’s also not someone that possesses extreme ambitions. For her to do that much, it’s just because of harboring the people of the world in her heart, and just happened to be in the right place at the right time, sitting in that position, having imperial father’s full support. It can be said as all the right conditions aligning. In reality, for her personally, she further looked forward to the vast world outside, and having come this far, it’s also enough. Imperial father retiring, taking her to tour the country, it’s also quite good, so as to not leave behind any regrets in the later years. And what we need to do is to just properly guard these mountains and rivers, not letting them have worries.”

Xie-shi understood, her mind naturally becoming clear and open, just, “I can’t compare with imperial mother, so afraid unable to help you.”

Perhaps because Jing Wan, this precedent, had done too well, Xie-shi completely forgot that ‘the inner palace cannot interfere in politics’. As long as one was careful, all won’t say this kind of thing.

Li Tian Lin was rather unconcerned. Even if really having ambitions, it also wasn’t that big of a deal. Towards his own wife, he probably won’t be able to reach his imperial father’s level, where he can have anything and everything offered up to the other party. Everything else aside, just based on the fact that the Xie clan is a large influential clan, if he really were to let his wife reach his imperial mother’s level, then he didn’t believe that the Xie clan can be like the Luo family. Everything else aside, even if certain people in the Xie family have this kind of awareness, the very nature of a large influential clan also won’t allow it.

The most simple way to prove this was just if the Xie clan doesn’t have that ambition, then towards Xie-shi, they certainly won’t have instructions or advice for her. Perhaps there will be advice, but the contents will probably be the opposite, for instance, teaching the crown prince how to gain power.

However, Xie-shi ultimately wasn’t really simpleminded to the point of not knowing the stakes. After the words came out, she also realized that she’d misspoke, her complexion slightly changing, hurriedly amending, “This wife heard that when your Highness was five, your Highness had already started coming in contact with politics. The court officials, not one didn’t praise. In this way, once your Highness ascends the throne, where will you still need others assisting, certainly able to have everything handled properly. The people will be able to live peacefully and work happily, Qi Yuan’s national power further rising a level.”

Handling governmental affairs at five, that was practically just his dark history. Li Tian Lin’s face slightly darkened. However, his wife’s words also perfectly confirmed his prediction. The Xie family sure enough had said some things to her. However, she was rather smart, not planning on getting involved. This way was very good. If she doesn’t touch his bottom line, then he didn’t mind nicely fostering feelings with her. But, if she were to ‘go against him’ for the Xie clan’s sake, then sorry, he didn’t mind changing his empress. His imperial mother didn’t like men having multiple wives and concubines, but if his wife were to commit a wrong, he believed that his imperial mother also won’t mind him abolishing her and remarrying.

“Even if Qi Yuan progress a step further, that is also because imperial father and imperial mother had the path in front paved well. As long as it’s maintained, then for it to become more prosperous with each passing day, it’s only natural and expected. ——-Imperial mother is an extraordinary woman that’s hard to come by. Even I, also firmly believe that it’s difficult for one to compare with her. However, imperial mother, that way, will also just signify a workaholic fate. As for you, just nicely take care of the palace affairs, leisurely and relaxing. If bored, just let your sisters at home, or your close friends from the boudoir enter the palace to accompany you to chat, play cards, or stroll the gardens.”

The Crown Princess Xie-shi was very bright to begin with, so how could she not understand his meaning. On the surface, it was caring for her, but how was it not necessarily clearly telling her, he simply didn’t have any intention of letting her interfere in politics. She more or less felt a bit sad inside. Sure enough, not anyone can be like her mother-in-law, able to obtain the ruler’s wholehearted love and trust. However, she originally didn’t plan on getting involved anyways. Those things that her maiden family said to her, she completely treated as the wind by the ear. It’s not like she was stupid. If she really were to follow their words, never mind the monogamy that the crown prince promised, she won’t even know how she will die. What kind of person was her emperor father-in-law? What kind of person was her crown prince husband? They were both the authoritative and decisive type. To attempt to dip one’s fingers in their mountains and rivers? The Sun clan although was still present, they’ve already sunk down to the bottom rung, and from the looks of it, it will just be increasingly worse. If the Xie clan were to dare extend their hands, their ending will just be even more miserable.

Although unable to be like her mother-in-law, but she was already much much more fortunate than thousands upon thousands of women, especially when she’d once bore the reputation of ‘cursing husbands’. The people that once mocked her, not one wasn’t envious and jealous. To be able to obtain these, it was already enough. She mustn’t be too greedy, and moreover, should also have self-awareness. She absolutely wasn’t able to achieve her mother-in-law’s level. Because her thoughts were clear and transparent, her moodiness that came quickly also went quickly.

Li Tian Lin lightly embraced her, “Don’t think too much, just carefreely live out your days. As long as you don’t commit a wrong, what I once promised, I will definitely live up to.”

These words already couldn’t be more clear.

“En.” This kind of man, having him treated as the sky, it wasn’t necessarily impossible.

Li Tian Lin’s ascension ceremony, because had Li Hong Yuan personally crowning him, and Jing Wan similarly participated the whole time, it naturally appeared even more grand and majestic.

Jing Wan, back then, wasn’t able to see the grandness of Li Hong Yuan’s ascension ceremony. Now, it can also be considered having her curiosity back then satisfied.

TN: All

After Li Tian Lin’s ascension ceremony, it was just Xie-shi’s conferment ceremony as the empress. Of course, everything was all according to the agenda, unlike back then, with Li Hong Yuan ‘causing trouble’.

The banquet afterwards, Li Tian Lin, along with the Empress Xie-shi, sat in the highest position, and as for Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan who have already rose up as the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager, they didn’t attend.

The next day, Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan just soundlessly left the palace as well as the capital, just bringing along some people.

Li Tian Lin although clearly knew that this was something that will inevitably happen, in this moment, he was still a bit angry and sad. However, even so, he could only be sullen. Everything else, he actually wasn’t that worried. His imperial father was one that knew how to enjoy himself. No matter what, it all needed to be the best, especially when it comes to the things for imperial mother. Their travels outside, compared to him going out a few years ago, was completely different by nature. In terms of safety, it similarly was like so. That’s why, any worry was all excessive.

Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan for the most part never returned to the capital. When Xie-shi got pregnant, they didn’t, and when she gave birth, they also didn’t. On the contrary, they would send some things back from time to time, for instance a certain place’s landscape painting——his imperial mother’s paintings were actually getting better and better——or perhaps a certain regions local specialty, like as if specially making him envy.

When he was out traveling, it was just full of ups and downs. The brilliant moments, in addition to his imperial father deliberate planning, the bad far exceeded the good. However, for his imperial mother, it wasn’t the same. Those dirty and rotten matters will be completely blocked out by his imperial father’s people, just needing to nicely enjoy with ease, tsk.
