Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 404: Putting the Unpleasant Words Out First

Although unhappy, Le Cheng Emperor didn’t show any emotion on his face. However, the expressionless face did add to the emperor’s imposing manner.

Jing Wan lightly sighed inside. In the end, this was someone that has been the emperor for twenty to thirty years. No matter how terrible, the quailities that one should have as an emperor, he similarly didn’t lack. Among his numerous sons, although the ones that had strong capabilities weren’t considered few, in front of him, they still could only retract their sharp claws. Including Li Hong Yuan, prior to being prepare, all won’t easily make a move.

“Imperial father, then this daughter-in-law will go back to one’s seat first.” Jing Wan said.

“No hurry.” Turning his head, “Move a small stool over.”

After ordering the attendant, he looked towards Jing Wan’s again, carrying a warm smile, “Just sit by this emperor’s side, this emperor still have things to ask you.”

Since this one already opened his mouth, Jing Wan could only obediently sit down.

This position really was incomparably eye-catching. However, it was still just a small stool, more or less like those embroidered stools. Sitting by Le Cheng Emperor’s feet was just like someone of the younger generation sitting by the feet of an elder. As for attending to one’s elder, it was actually irrelevant, instead further adding to Jing Wan’s weight. By obtaining Le Cheng Emperor’s favor, regardless of how unreasonable she acts, even if Noble Consort Su wants to do something to her, all would need to reconsider. This perhaps was precisely the reason why her husband had the painting presented on the spot.

The foreign beauties had already finished showing their dance, the beauties alluring, the dance hot and sexy. However, in the end, it just made certain irrelevant people hot and bothered. On the main target’s side, there wasn’t even a single ripple, having endured the cold for nothing. Tsk, they really were quite pitiful. Looks like, the Imperial Noble Consort really was Le Cheng Emperor’s ‘true love’ without a doubt.

Le Cheng Emperor finally looked to the West Xiongnu emissary, not saying a word, but that meaning was very clear.

Speaking of which, for Qi Yuan, aside from Former Wei this ultimate arch nemesis, West Xiongnu and Southern Qi were also formidable opponents. The borders for the most part have never truly been stable before. Southern Qi was still a little better, but West Xiongnu, because of lacking in resources, drinking blood and eating fur, in addition to their entire population all skilled in battle, naturally good at fighting, regardless of which aspect, facing Qi Yuan, this fatty piece of meat, it was absolutely impossible to be indifferent.

West Xiongnu and North Xiongnu originally were one family. Just, the two brothers were at complete odds with one another, never mind dividing the family, they even ended up as mortal enemies, serious to the extent where it reached the level of ‘needing to quell internal dispute first before facing foreign aggression’. Comparatively speaking, North Xiongnu was still a little weaker. Thirty some years ago, they’d proposed to marry a Qi Yuan princess to establish friendly relations between the two countries, resulting in Princess Heyang’s political marriage. Originally, they wanted to borrow Qi Yuan’s power to take down West Xiongnu, yet in the end, the North Xiongnu King got eliminated by Princess Heyang, and North Xiongnu got crippled by Qi Yuan, very difficult to recover their vigor in the next few decades.

(T/N: See chapter 113 for the full story of how Princess Heyang took down North Xiongnu.)

However, Jing Wan believed, in this matter, there was certainly also West Xiongnu’s contributions, just Qi Yuan won’t record it into its history.

At the time, Qi Yuan didn’t advance and directly swallow North Xiongnu, this piece of territory. There were many reasons for this. Aside from the disparity in culture between the two countries being too great, wanting to subdue the people of North Xiongnu truly was too difficult. Additionally, there was the problem of geography. If they were to have North Xiongnu integrated into Qi Yuan’s territory, the shape will be a bit like gourd, and the smaller portion will be North Xiongnu. The areas that border Qi Yuan won’t be much, yet the surroundings were completely surrounded. Moreover, West Xiongnu definitely won’t ignore the matter either. Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, and collecting some gains from North Xiongnu, they just fully withdrew.

(T/N: This is drawn to the best of my knowledge but may not be 100% accurate.)

However, North Xiongnu, in this kind of state, to actually not get swallowed by West Xiongnu, reforming into the powerful Xiongnu again, was also really strange.

“Qi Yuan Emperor, we Xiongnu revere martial skills, so towards these effeminate things, truly disinterested. How about letting the warriors come forward and demonstrate their moves to liven up things for everyone, and to also add some good fortune for your Majesty, what do you think?” Regardless of whether it’s North Xiongnu or West Xiongnu, they both addressed themselves as Xiongnu. This was the same as how Former Wei addressed themselves as Great Wei.

Just, using martial arts performance to add good fortune, only they can come up with.

However, if the people of Xiongnu appearing in another country don’t ‘use military might to show off’, then they probably won’t be called Xiongnu.

“Granted.” This kind of thing, Le Cheng Emperor was also too lazy to bicker over.

Sure enough, an accompanying West Xiongnu warrior stood out, pulling open the fur short coat on him. Tugging the two sides, the two arms came out, having the jacket tied to the waist, revealing the lumps of bulging muscle, appearing quite powerful.

Previously, when the women were revealing their arms and waist, these noblewomen of Qi Yuan all needed to avert their eyes, let alone now. Don’t know how many people turned pale.

Jing Wan slightly averted her gaze and also couldn’t help but frown. Although the culture was completely different, it wasn’t to the extent of completely not understanding.

Seeing their reaction, the people of West Xiongnu didn’t restrain themselves, instead slapping the table and loudly laughing, especially that man standing in the middle, even deliberately shaking his muscles, “Long heard that the men of Qi Yuan are valiant and outstanding, to the extent that our Xiongnu girls all yearn for in all kinds of ways, so hoping to not be so stingy as to hold back.”

Although saying it as such, that provoking and contemptuous look practically couldn’t be more obvious.

On Qi Yuan’s side, quite a few people were filled with righteous indignation, nearly slapping the table and standing up, but in the end, still needed to maintain their noble character.

However, not everyone had this kind of elegant demeanor. Moreover, some people further shouldn’t be provoked.

Li Hong Yuan conveniently had the wine cup in hand thrown out, landing on the ground with a thud, shattering into pieces. This while, he appeared exceptionally eye-catching. However, Li Hong Yuan’s expression was still indifferent, even more composed than anyone, as if just now, the one that threw the cup simply wasn’t him. “He Shi Hai, properly teach our esteemed guest what it means to ‘follow the local customs of the land’. Your fists today better not still be like cotton balls, else when time comes, this prince will let you become a cotton ball.”

When West Xiongnu made the proposal, He Shi Hai was already eager to try. Unfortunately, he got jointly suppressed by his mother and grandmother, so he could only restlessly sit there. Then again, in this current setting, without someone from above issuing the word, they naturally can’t act recklessly without thinking.

Right now, hearing Li Hong Yuan’s words, he strangely shook all over. Afterwards, he deeply comprehended Jin Qinwang’s meaning—————-The Former Wei fifth prince had gotten beaten by him to the point of being unable to crawl up, yet Jin Qinwang still said his fists were cotton balls. In other words, right now, he just needs to leave the other party one breath, or…………….It was sparring, so sometimes it was difficult to stop, no? How normal of a thing.

Le Cheng Emperor didn’t say anything, clearly tacitly approving Li Hong Yuan’s meaning.

Truthfully speaking, Li Hong Yuan on normal days although was infuriating, in this kind of situation, he still made one feel exceptionally refreshed. After all, towards other’s provocation, directly slapping back on the spot was the most satisfying.

He Shi Hai cracked his fists, but in the end, he was just sixteen years old. Even if he was taller than those of the same age, and studier than his peers, that face still was unable to completely shed away the tender looks.

Having this kind of appearance naturally will get underestimated by others, so the people of West Xiongnu openly mocking, that also couldn’t be more normal.

He Shi Hai also didn’t get angry, instead giddily laughing, “Indeed, this young master is precisely still not fully grown. That’s why, sometimes, it’s unavoidable that one doesn’t know propriety. If something were to happen, please be more forgiving.” He Shi Hai had the unpleasant words put out first.
