Chapter 586.2: The Most Difficult Position

The Most Difficult Position (2)

In reality, throughout the entire day, Jing Wan didn’t find any place uncomfortable. When back at the manor, she was able to find things to do, and here, she similarly was able to. What she did back then, she just continued doing now, appearing as if she’d just switched locations. After all, right now, she was pregnant, and still haven’t been conferred, so don’t need to handle the palace affairs.

The palace servants of Kunyi Palace rather want to curry favor with her, but they all got blocked outside. Right now, Jing Wan’s wet nurse, the previous head mama, at this time, naturally was just in charge of Kunyi Palace’s human affairs. Towards the rules of the palace, she might not be very clear, but Gong mama was very clear. Previously, she’d already advised her, and at present, there also weren’t any difficult matters.

After resting for a night, with Li Hong Yuan by the side, her sleep was still very good.

The people of the Internal Affairs Department requested an audience, wanting to get Jing Wan’s measurements. The empress’s coronation ceremony and the new emperor’s ascension ceremony were on the same day. And at present, it seems there’s just twenty days left. The dragon and phoenix gown both need to be rushed, yet it also can’t be sloppy in the slightest. Those embroiders must work day and night.

Jing Wan right now certainly can’t just be approached by anyone. However, by her side, it can be said to be making new clothes everyday. That’s why, her measurements, the people by her side were all very clear. That being the case, there was still twenty days until the coronation ceremony. When time comes, her body certainly will still change. For the sake of wearing the most fitting phoenix gown, during this time, they certainly will need to take the measurements a few more times, in order to ensure that the final clothes can be fitting.

For pregnant people, clothes were the most troublesome, especially in the later stages. To say the body was different everyday would all be normal. And for people residing in high positions, it was impossible for them to be the same as ordinary people, just preparing wide and large clothes from the start, and from start to finish just those few clothes, especially Jing Wan right now. In addition to having Li Hong Yuan, this wife pampering maniac, even if Jing Wan wants to make do, no one would agree. Everyday, it was all well-fitting new clothes, and from morning to night, it absolutely won’t just be a single one.

Of course, it wasn’t just the phoenix gown. Jing Wan’s other clothes also need to be made. The phoenix gown had set regulations, but the others can just be according to Jing Wan’s preferences.

At times like this, since Jing Wan was idle anyways, she just went to see as well.

The people of the Internal Affairs Department naturally were diligent, doing their utmost to curry favor. Of course, they also exhausted their means to learn Jing Wan’s preferences.

A while later, a palace servant came in to report that the Grand Elder Princess requests an audience.

Jing Wan hurriedly got up to go welcome.

Never mind that right now she still hasn’t been conferred, even if conferred, the Grand Elder Princess was still an elder, and also her adoptive mother, so naturally different from others.

Seeing Jing Wan come out, her pace even quite fast, the Grand Elder Princess hurriedly went forward, “This child, how come just this rash?” Although reprimanding, her tone nevertheless carried affection.

“Isn’t it because of wanting to see adoptive mother?” Jing Wan said with a smile.

“You’re already about to become the mother of the world, yet how come still this childish.” The Grand Elder Princess supported her, smiling. However, her body was cold, so after supporting a little, she just let go.

“If the empress, then just not your adopted daughter anymore? Adoptive mother, don’t worry, at other times, I’m still very majestic.” Jing Wan pretended to pose.

The Grand Elder Princess got amused by her, the peculiar feeling inside reducing a little. In her bones, she was still her.

TN: All

Jing Wan wanted to coil around the Grand Elder Princess’s arm, but the Grand Elder Princess hurriedly retreated two steps, letting her servant girl support her as they entered inside the hall.

The inside and outside of the hall were absolutely two different atmosphere. The large overcoat on the Grand Elder Princess completely wasn’t able to stay on.

After serving the tea and desserts, Jing Wan just had everyone sent out. The Grand Elder Princess coming to look for her at this time certainly will be for something.

The Grand Elder Princess took it all in. She always knew that Jing Wan was someone with thorough thoughts, but some words still need to be said. To put it grandly, it was for the sake of Qi Yuan’s mountains and rivers.

During the entire battle for the throne, the Grand Elder Princess all didn’t involve herself. Even her sons, she all let them be idle. Regardless of who tries to rope them in, all ignore. In reality, her choice wasn’t wrong. She was once of esteemed status, and even now, her position was still stable.

Just, the person that will sit on the throne in the end was completely beyond her expectation. Can only say that she was just like the others, having gotten miserably deceived by him.

However, what the Grand Elder Princess cared about wasn’t this. For the sake of the throne, any means can be used. Everything Li Hong Yuan did, that was his ability. Besides, the Grand Elder Princess herself also didn’t suffer any loss. On the contrary, as a princess, Li Hong Yuan’s certain decisions actually benefited her.

After all, these last two days, as the people in the palace got successively arranged for and taken care of, some decrees have already gotten issued and carried out. Right now, not only her sons, even her husband can all enter officialdom, so what else is there more worth rejoicing than this.

And Li Hong Yuan’s decisions in other matters, she also had her own channels to receive news. Perhaps should say, Li Hong Yuan had specially released it for them to know.

His abilities were acknowledged and trusted. Just, the Grand Elder Princess actually very much worried about his temper. What kind of temper he had, what he displayed in the past, although might partly be a deliberate act, but the great majority, the Grand Elder Princess had reason to believe that it was actually his true temper.

For an emperor, that kind of temperament absolutely wasn’t a good thing. Speaking from this point, the Grand Elder Princess felt that any one of his brothers was more suited for the throne than him.

She was a princess of the imperial family, so what she wholeheartedly cared for naturally just matched the imperial family’s desires, hoping that the Li clan’s mountains and rivers can pass on for thousands of generations.

After taking two sips of tea, the Grand Elder Princess slowly began speaking.

“When I was young, because of having imperial father and imperial mother’s love, I wasn’t just restricted to the imperial palace, this tiny piece of land, frequently sneaking out of the palace. I liked making friends, having met quite a few extraordinary women in my life. They perhaps have beauty, wisdom, kindness, or ambition, but the ones that were able to make me admire were only just those few. The Empress, Sun-shi, was just one of them. She didn’t lack wisdom, didn’t lack beauty, didn’t lack means, and further didn’t lack ambition. She didn’t hesitate to disobey her mother’s wish, becoming the leader of all the women in the world, the mother of the country. However, I nevertheless disliked her, mainly because her ambitions truly were a bit too big. Imperial brother just maintained the most fundamental relation as husband and wife with her. Her only son also didn’t get taught well, becoming estranged with her, more like a superior and her subordinate. With her own mother, her relationship was also exceptionally rigid. And in the end, she also just ended up getting abolished.”

Jing Wan felt that the Grand Elder Princess perhaps really admired Empress Sun, but she seemingly also carried ridicule. It was very contradictory. But, for the Grand Elder Princess to be able to have Empress Sun viewed this transparently, it also exceeded Jing Wan’s expectations. However, Jing Wan probably knew what the Grand Elder Princess wanted to say, but it seemingly wasn’t really relevant to her.

“Additionally, the Noble Consort, Su-shi, I actually also quite admired her. Despite the imperial harem having countless beauties, new people entering every year, not lacking those possessing both talent and beauty, she nevertheless was still the most favored of the imperial harem for twenty to thirty years, do you know why?”

Jing Wan pondered for a moment, perhaps understanding. Just, her understanding seemingly was a bit vague. Thus, she shook her head.

“Because she understands imperial brother.” The Grand Elder Princess sighed, “She is the woman that understands imperial brother the most in this world. Even though she also isn’t that likable, but this bit can’t be denied. Of course, this understanding of hers may not necessarily be in her grasp at all times. See, didn’t she precisely fail afterwards, just that easily.”

Upon hearing, Jing Wan’s heart somewhat stirred, unknown as to what she thought of, slightly falling in a daze.

“As the saying goes, the ruler is heartless, and accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger. The most difficult position isn’t as the emperor’s close subject of the imperial court, nor as an imperial prince, but rather, as the ruler’s woman.” The Grand Elder Princess’s words were meaningful and heartfelt, “The emperor is also a mortal. They have the seven emotions and six desires, having personal preferences, love and hate. To be able to obtain a ruler’s love is a great fortune, the fortune being that you can rise above the mass, but it similarly is a great misfortune in that your every word and action all need to be careful and deliberated. If not careful, letting your own preferences and emotions lead you, influencing the emperor, it doesn’t matter if it’s trivial matters, but if serious, damaging the country causing suffering to the people, then it’s just getting criticized by thousands, one’s name going down in history as infamy. Since ancient times, such cases are all common occurrences.”

Jing Wan lowered her eyes. Towards empress’s position, she didn’t have a very clear concept, but she can’t say that she didn’t have any concept, because from a very long time ago, she just knew how deep her influence was towards him. He was absolutely the kind that can abandon the country for her sake. When she became aware of the fact that he had intentions towards the throne, she’d already faintly considered some things.
