Not Only Have to Guard Against Men, But Also Women (3)
Eunuch Mu held back the urge to wipe his sweat. He didn’t need to think to know what his master was thinking. Guarding against men naturally was referring to the ones around Miss Luo. And as for this guarding against women, the amount of women that wanted to crawl into master’s bed weren’t any less, indeed needed to guard against. But, wasn’t this something they’ve long been doing? Is there a need to specially mention this now? Eunuch Mu carefully pondered this matter. Wait, there still hasn’t been any women that’s attempted to crawl onto the bed that was worth master strictly guarding against. That said, since there are men that like men, there should also be women that like women, could it be……..
“Mu An, distancing the men around Wan Wan is easy, but how should the women be distanced?”
Master, this servant is a stupid one. Such a difficult matter, this servant really doesn’t know. Eunuch Mu could only dare to think like this, “Master, afraid this isn’t possible.”
(T/N: Eunuch Mu’s inner dialogues are the funnest to translate.)
“What?”
“There always needs to be people at Miss Luo’s side to serve her.”
That’s right, he’d only thought of the women on the outside, what about the ones at Wan Wan’s side? Those were all closely serving her. Between baths and changing, they’ve long had Wan Wan thoroughly seen through. He still hasn’t seen more than twice! The more he thought, the gloomier he got, even having the impulse to have all the people at Jing Wan’s side immediately dragged out and chopped up. This vinegar jar practically overturned for a strange reason.
“This prince, using this life-saving grace as an excuse to ask imperial father to bestow a marriage, what do you think?”
Good, good, good, there isn’t an idea that’s better than this. Master, the sooner you have Miss Luo dragged back to your lair, wait no, it’s married into the manor, the better it is for everyone. Everyone will practically universally rejoice. “Asking master to reconsider.” Eunuch Mu reluctantly said against his intentions.
Li Hong Yuan lifted his head and faintly swept him a glance. Eunuch Mu nearly broke out in cold sweat from the fright.
“Wan Wan’s status isn’t high enough. Under normal circumstances, she doesn’t even have the qualifications to be a side consort. Even if we use this matter to ask for a marriage decree, at most it would still only be a side consort’s position. And even if Jin Qinwang Manor, in the future, only has her as a legitimate master, Wan Wan probably won’t be happy, and this prince won’t be happy either.” Li Hong Yuan said as if he was talking to himself.
“It is precisely so.” That’s why, master, you can only just continue enduring, and we can only just continue suffering.
“This prince knows you all are hoping for this prince to marry Wan Wan sooner, this prince also wants to too, but unfortunately, right now, this world still isn’t in this prince’s control. We can only just increase the speed and let imperial father become desperate towards this prince’s marriage, letting Wan Wan become the only choice.”
So, who is the next unfortunate soul?
“Sun Yi Jia is also too idle, with nothing to do but cling to Wan Wan all day.”
Master, the young lady has already ruined her appearance and was currently hurt and heartbroken, can you not be this underhanded?
“Mu An, do you have any complaints towards this prince’s decisions?”
TN: All
“No, master’s decisions can not be more brilliant.” People like them only have one objective; there’s absolutely no wrong in master’s decisions!
“Call out that old monk Liao Chen, this prince has something to ask him.”
Just from his address one could tell, Wangye’s complaint towards Grandmaster Liao Chen was very big! Furthermore, right now he should be sleeping. During the day, you slept for an entire day, and now that you’re rested, you want to torment others!?
Since the distance wasn’t considered far, Grandmaster Liao Chen came rather quickly. “Amitabha Buddha, Wangye has summoned this one, don’t know for what reason?”
Li Hong Yuan propped one hand on his bent knee, while his other leg naturally stretched out, his sitting position nonchalant and languid, as he looked to Grandmaster Liao Chen with a slightly lifted chin. “Grandmaster is able see through everything, how can you not know why this prince is looking for you?”
“Wangye overpraises, this humble monk is also just a mortal, how can one see through everything?”
Li Hong Yuan mockingly hooked the corner of his mouth, “Did Grandmaster previously not see that this prince would have such a blood-filled disaster?”
“If this humble monk told Wangye, would Wangye be able to not get injured? This to Wangye, isn’t really some disaster either. On Wangye’s face, one can see there’s also the color of spring.”
Li Hong Yuan had to admit, Grandmaster Liao Chen’s words weren’t wrong. Mainly, it was still because of Wan Wan falling of a cliff that made him want vent his anger. “Grandmaster should have met Wan Wan already, well?”
“Forgive this humble monk for being blunt, but Miss Luo’s innate nature is pure and benevolent, matching with Wangye, it’s a pity.”
“This isn’t something grandmaster is suppose to say. However, if nothing else, grandmaster is just saying that this prince is heavy with sins, cruel by nature, heart and liver all black. But it’s precisely because of this that there should be a woman like Wan Wan by this prince’s side. This prince is only willing to be bounded by her, and curb my tendencies for her. And Wan Wan, who’s gentle on the outside and firm on the inside, already has the ability to attract men’s attention easily, incurring other women’s jealousy. Without this prince’s protection, even if she has a thousand means, she would still have a difficult time avoiding all their schemes. You should say that we’re a match made in heaven instead.” Li Hong Yuan really didn’t spare any effort in sticking gold to his own face.
Grandmaster Liao Chen nodded, seemingly affirming his words.
“Grandmaster still hasn’t replied to this prince’s question.”
“The original course of fate has already broken, but the new path is still unclear. As a whole it still seems smooth, but there might be twists and turns.”
“It’s good that it’s broken. If this prince can let it break, then naturally can also let her future course of fate become smooth and steady.”
“Listening to Wangye’s words, seems Wangye knows Miss Luo’s original course of fate.”
“Even if grandmaster isn’t completely clear, you surely have an understanding in your heart, there’s no need for the excess talk.” Li Hong Yuan has never believed that his rebirth can be completely hidden from Grandmaster Liao Chen.
“Amitabha Buddha, this is naturally so.”
“In the recent days, Wan Wan has met with constant disaster, why don’t grandmaster help dispel them for her. This prince doesn’t want anything else, just have that little red sandalwood prayer beads in your hands given to her.”
“Wangye really is as impolite as always.” Grandmaster Liao Chen seemed somewhat helpless.
“Heh, this prince thought that grandmaster was long accustomed to it. If still not accustomed, then best get accustomed sooner. After all, in the future, who knows how many more similar instances there will be.”
“Then as Wangye desires, after two days, these prayer breads will be gifted to Miss Luo.”
Li Hong Yuan was actually somewhat surprised. Asking for the prayer beads from Grandmaster Liao Chen, he was actually just casually saying and didn’t hold too big of a hope for. His purpose was nothing more than to just make it easier to haggle over the price. If he can’t obtain the best thing in his hand for Wan Wan, he would still at least demand for something just slightly inferior. After all, rumors say that the prayer beads are very important to Grandmaster Liao Chen. It’s said that it was given to him from his shifu when he first became a monk and has been in his hands for at least near a hundred years. That’s right, Grandmaster Liao Chen was precisely an old fossil that was over a hundred years old. As for exactly how old, no one knows. And as for how many years those prayer beads have been in his shifu’s hands, naturally no one knows either. Including his imperial grandfather and imperial father, there were many people that wanted those prayer beads yet weren’t able to get a hold of them. Was his face just that big? “Grandmaster had already planned on giving them to Wan Wan?”
“Miss Luo has fate with it.”
Things like the fate in buddhism, Li Hong Yuan felt, give him another few lifetimes and he still wouldn’t understand. “Then, why still have to wait another two days.”
“For the blessing of Buddha.”
Hearing this, Li Hong Yuan surprisingly blanked. Right now, there weren’t many things that could make him show this kind of expression. “Looks like, Wan Wan has very much received grandmaster’s good grace.”
“Miss Luo has fate with Buddha.”
This time, Li Hong Yuan’s expression wasn’t pretty. His wife has fate with buddhism, is that what it means? “Old monk, you sure aren’t afraid of this prince burning down all the temples in the world!”
