Chapter 328: Mischievousness

When the preparations were more or less ready, Mei Yi sent someone to the villa that Li Hong Yuan and them were currently residing in, wanting to inquire the time when Jin Qinwang will be setting out. The hundred boat parade although is doable regardless whether it’s day or night, but at night, matching with the various color lanterns, the occasion will be even more beautiful. Didn’t many people precisely like this so called sentimental feeling? However, Mei Yi actually didn’t hold too big of a hope of being able to find out about Jin Qinwang’s schedule, just holding the attitude of trying. If able to find out, naturally it’ll be better, but if not, at worst it’s just making some more preparations.

Speaking of which, Li Hong Yuan’s bodyguards weren’t few, but the ones that were able to know about his private matters were still in the minority. After all, even if trusted by him, it was still impossible for all of them to be close serving bodyguards. And in contrast, the closer one served, the more one was able to know. However, the ones that knew that it was actually Jing Wan that wanted to visit the pleasure boats to listen to song and admire dance were still just a small minority of people.

Because of this, when the guards watching the gates learned of the other party’s purpose in coming, they were somewhat astonished. Wangye having deep feelings towards wangfei, this bit was absolute. Previously, regardless whether it was Kaiming Fu or Chongzhou Fu, as long as wangye goes out, which time was it not having wangfei brought along at the side. Brothel, this kind of place, it was further not touching even the corner of the street of. Yet now, wangye had let someone reserve a pleasure boat? Having gotten used to wangye’s attitude towards wangfei, suddenly encountering such a matter, how can one not be shocked? Just, even if they rack their brains, they all won’t be able to figure out that this was actually Jing Wan’s desire.

However, this kind of thing, it goes without saying that the people outside don’t have the guts to casually joke about. Using this kind of joke to come looking, wasn’t that looking for death?

Right now, the problem was whether or not they should have the person driven away? If it’s driving away, they really don’t have the qualifications to decide on wangye’s matters, but if not, once the person goes in to ask, it might alarm wangfei. Seemingly, no matter what, it all wasn’t right. In the end, it was still deciding to go and ask. In any case, it wasn’t possible for them to directly face wangye.

One of them went in, and afterwards, the one that came out to meet him naturally was Mu An. Mu An nodded his head, “Wait here.” Wangfei handling matters, generally would always have a rough plan. Even if it’s just going out, it was still like so, and not like master, being exceptionally indifferent towards ordinary small matters, doing whatever comes to mind.

As soon as Jing Wan heard Eunuch Mu’s words, she just predicted that it probably wasn’t just one pleasure boat, that simple, most likely moving large forces again. Just, whether this was Eunuch Mu’s handiwork, or the person in charge of the pleasure boat’s handiwork, it was possible for both sides to all have a hand inside. Right now, there was rather no need to look into. Speaking from a certain perspective, for the matter to have become known to all now, it was actually more fitting than being low-key, “Mu An, take a trip and see what specific preparations the other party has made. If necessary, we can also coordinate, so as to avoid wasting the other party’s good intentions.”

“Yes.”

As for Jin Qinwang’s opinion? Heheh, what’s that? ———-Alright, it was far from being this exaggerated. Just, if Mu An were to go ask again, it most likely won’t end well, and will even incur master’s discontent. Since the results were all the same, why the need to go ask again?

Mu An’s trip to and from more or less took about an hour, and the news he brought back was also impressive, “Four hours?” That was the time those large-scale evening parties would take in her past life. “Naturally it’s best for everything to be perfect. Just let them arrange according to the most suitable time, and for the specifics, just notify us when time comes.”

Mei Yi had sent someone to follow Eunuch Mu back. As such, there was no need for Eunuch Mu to take another trip.

Towards the soon approaching ‘hundred boat parade’, Jing Wan was very much looking forwards to. However, although looking forward to it, she didn’t really appear all that impatient. After all, having those experiences from her past life, what kind of spectacles has she not seen before. Regardless whether it was dazzling varieties, or far-reaching artistic concepts, those directors were all people of talent, just don’t know how the abilities of those purely ancient aesthetic ‘directors’ will be like.

What one should be doing at certain times was just what one did.

After getting up from the afternoon nap, they spent some time ‘sobering up’. Afterwards, Jing Wan’s clothes for the outing were sent over, a full set of men’s clothes.

Jing Wan lifted her brow. Looking at this craftsmanship, she just knew that it was made by her own servant girls. Obviously it couldn’t have possibly just existed previously, but one was unable to make out in slightest traces of rush work. Either it was just altered using a certain someone’s clothes, or just originally prepared for a certain someone, with the embroidery already done, and just needed to cut and sew together.

“A dignified wangye taking a servant girl to a pleasure boat, seemingly isn’t all that strange either.” Although going to that kind of place, bringing along women was all a bit strange, but someone was just this willful, and you also have no way of dealing with, no? Jin Qinwang’s style probably can be considered an outstanding talent therein.

“Don’t all say this prince eats both men and women? Rather than taking a servant girl, this prince is further willing to take an elegant little gentleman.” Li Hong Yuan was half leaning back, carrying a bit of seduction as he looked to Jing Wan.

Jing Wan clearly sensed Li Hong Yuan’s suddenly rising interest, seemingly as if this was a very interesting matter to him, yet also seemingly more important than anything else. This man was practically completely docile and obedient towards her, so this bit of interest, this little ‘hobby’, how could she not agree to?

Jing Wan went in the inner room to change, and then tied her hair, even accessorizing with a folding fan. Afterwards, Jing Wan put one hand behind her back, and walked out lightly waving the folding fan, carrying a perfect shallow smile, a distinguished young man, just……………..His gaze fell onto Jing Wan’s chest. Li Hong Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes, sizing up and down, his gaze ultimately still landing on that spot. Thus, his smile just became increasingly obvious, “Turning back to before we married, Wan Wan rather can somewhat manage to pass off as a little gentleman, but now……….”

Jing Wan closed the fan in hand and just threw it over. Li Hong Yuan extended in hand and just caught it, opening it with a ‘pah’. Now that was truly being limitlessly distinguished.

Her own body, Jing Wan naturally was also clear about. In these last few months, she has been growing much faster than she’d anticipated, regardless whether it was in height, or in certain areas. In reality, relatively speaking, her development can be considered relatively late, and at certain times, bedroom matters indeed can induce development. After this period of time passes, even if wanting to grow, one most likely won’t be able to grow much.

“Whose fault is it?” Jing Wan glared at him.

“My fault, my fault.” Li Hong Yuan although was unaware of the relation between growth and outside factors, but this kind of thing, even if the responsibility wasn’t on him, it would still be on him, even having some pride.

How could Jing Wan not know that she once again got teased, but she was also too lazy to continue arguing, else in the end, it would still be her losing. “This way, what difference is there from wearing women’s clothes?”

“Up close, naturally unable to deceive others, but at a distance, tricking a little still isn’t a problem. Then, using the folding fan to appropriately block………..” Li Hong Yuan gestured on himself, “By tomorrow, the matter of this prince liking the southern wind will spread throughout Chuanzhou Fu.”

“Where’s the meaning in this?” Jing Wan was a bit puzzled.

“Want to see whether or not certain people’s level of shamelessness will increase to another level.”

Jing Wan nodded, “Ah Yuan, just directly say that you want to find a bit of amusement, it’s not that complicated.” To put it bluntly, it was just a certain someone’s mischievousness acting up again.

“Looks like it got seen through by Wan Wan.” Li Hong Yuan got up, walking forward two steps, singlehandedly embracing Jing Wan’s waist, and shoving the folding fan into her hand, “Let’s go. Today, just nicely experience Jiangnan’s good ‘scenery’.”

T/N: When I’d read to here, in my head I was thinking whether it’d be the officials coming to seduce LHY on their own, or sending him pretty boys.
