Chapter 626.1: One Screwing Over Another

One Screwing Over Another (1)


For men, having children at fifty, sixty, or even seventy, seemingly all wasn’t anything. After all, women will hit menopause, but there wasn’t this situation for men. Although as the age increase, the activeness of the sperm will weaken, the fertility reducing, even losing the ability to have children, but because of the differences between individuals, some men really can ‘reproduce for a lifetime’. Just based on Jing Wan’s knowledge, in her past life, she’d once inadvertently saw a news, although not remembering which country it was, it was about a ninety plus year-old man becoming a father.


When it comes to having children, the older the man, the more it will get treated as a bragging right, meaning that they were old but vigorous, their body excellent.


And it was only someone like Li Hong Yuan that would be like this. If switched with anyone else, don’t know how proud they will be, hating that they can’t announce to the world to show off how capable they were.


Of course, given Li Hong Yuan’s special status, even without specially announcing to the world, the people of the world will still know. Moreover, it will a hundred percent be recorded into the history books.


But, the one that got pregnant wasn’t a young consort, but Jing Wan, this over fifty ‘old grandma’.


For women, the old oyster bearing a pearl, most people probably will just feel it was being old and shameless. The more noble the status, the more it was like this. Surveying history, how many imperial consorts over forty were able to get pregnant? In any case, in Qi Yuan’s previous history and dynasties, there all weren’t any. Of course, this usually also represented how favored a woman was, but this kind of favor would just make those women that were over forty, or even at thirty and would just get viewed as old and faded by their husband, not even having the right to share the bed anymore, produce strong jealousy, feeling severe disequilibrium. Thus, they naturally will want to find balance again.


Jing Wan’s only advantage was probably just her status being too high, with no one daring to criticize. Even in private, they all didn’t dare to rashly say anything to slander her.


However, other people’s thoughts, Jing Wan completely didn’t care. The most awkward was actually still facing her own descendants. After passing this step, the rest actually was also just that.


It wasn’t necessary to announce to the world, but it also wasn’t necessary to strictly guard, not letting others know.


As Jing Wan’s maiden family, entering the palace at this time to see her was also something that can’t be more normal, even though when initially entering the palace, they actually still didn’t know that Jing Wan was pregnant.


After Luo Pei Shan passed away, the Luo family’s brothers just divided the family. The original Luo Manor was given to the first branch to reside. The remaining three branches that got divided out also lived relatively close by, normally also frequently visiting one another, the relationship close. As for the eight elders, aside from her third uncle that was paralyzed on the bed, the remaining seven were all still healthy.


In addition to Sun Yi Jia and them, the people from the Luo family that entered the palace were quite a few.


Jing Wan’s stomach was actually already at five months, already prominent, and because it was currently the second month, where it was still relatively cold, the clothes relatively thick, if she wanted to deliberately hide, she was still able to cover up. However, Jing Wan didn’t do this. When standing, it was still quite obvious. As such, as soon as the Luo family came in, they just discovered her abnormality.


“Your Highness, this……” When Zhang-shi first entered, she originally was still shocked at how her daughter was still young and beautiful like ten plus years ago, but afterwards, her daughter’s obviously protruding stomach just attracted her attention. In an instant, she just openly revealed her shock.


“Mother.” Sun Yi Jia hurriedly pulled her. This mother-in-law of hers was already someone over seventy, yet her nature was still like this. However, perhaps it was also because she was ‘simple-minded’, with very few worries, all things having Sun Yi Jia blocking in front, she appeared quite a bit younger than her other three zhoulis, her body also relatively healthy.


They first uniformly greeted, and afterwards, Jing Wan let someone prepare seats for them.


After sitting down, Jing Wan also didn’t take offense. Perhaps there was still a bit of awkwardness, but it wasn’t really strong, and on the surface, it didn’t show at all, responding with a smile, “Already five months.”


TN: All


The people of the Luo family all blanked. It was still Sun Yi Jia that first reacted, saying with a smile, “Congratulations your Highness.” Shortly after, following her words, the others also congratulated along with.


Looking at Sun Yi Jia’s expression, Jing Wan just knew that regarding Sun Yi Lin’s matter, she should’ve long placed down. Then again, it has already been several decades.


“This child came very unexpectedly. I myself also didn’t expect.” After openly saying, there also wasn’t anything to hide out of taboo.


Others perhaps will still have other thoughts, but the Luo family was just purely happy for Jing Wan. However, after feeling happy, they were also a bit worried. Everyone all know, the greater the age, the more dangerous the childbirth. Moreover, when Jing Wan first gave birth, Zhang-shi was also present. That scene, afraid she will never forget in this lifetime.


“Don’t worry, my body is quite well. The servants are also very meticulous, paying attention to all aspects. There won’t be a problem.”


Today, there actually weren’t any children present, but there were unmarried young ladies present, so for the matters in this aspect, it wasn’t good to say too much.


Among these young ladies, even if Jing Wan had seen before, at the time, they were certainly still very small. Right now, each and every one were all slender and elegant. As for the ‘new brides’, it was Jing Wan’s first time meeting.


Have to say, the Luo family right now really was growing increasingly big, and at the same time, there were more of those that worked hard, and less of those that lazed around. Continuing like this, the Luo family will very likely become another large influential clan. Of course, that was something in the far future. Saying these now, there was no meaning.


The Luo family considered for Jing Wan’s body, thus didn’t stay long in the palace. Even though the empress can step in to receive them, but the Xie clan, similarly as an imperial in-law, because of not obtaining the benefits that they’d expected, their resentment was a bit big. Unable to do anything to Li Tian Lin and Xie-shi, they thus just had their resentment vented out on the Luo family.


The Luo family can be considered to have gotten shot while lying down. However, the Luo family weren’t pushovers either. The Luo family may be low-key, but it didn’t mean that they will just let others bully them.


Of course, the Xie family didn’t dare to go overboard either. The large influential families at present weren’t like back then where the large clans can control half the country. If the ruler was set on wanting to eliminate a certain influential family, it also wasn’t impossible, especially for emperors like Li Hong Yuan and Li Tian Lin. And to want to have a prestigious clan weakened, that was even simpler.


The Xie clan targeting the Luo family, because it was mostly little skirmishes, Li Tian Lin would thus just turn a blind eye. But, if it really were to become serious, the Xie clan was very clear, Li Tian Lin absolutely won’t side with their Xie clan. The reason was actually also very simple. The Luo family was perceptive, while the Xie clan wasn’t, their restless ambitions thriving.


Actually, the power holders in the Xie clan were also aware, being overly zealous in pursuing fame and power wasn’t good, if not careful, they might just become the next Sun clan. One has to know, back then, the Ding Duke Manor was restless, and Le Cheng Emperor’s Empress Sun was also full of ambitions, yet in the end, the Ding Duke Manor got searched and seized, and Empress Sun died in some unknown corner. As Le Cheng Emperor’s eldest di son, Li Hong Yi also got imprisoned to death. His Majesty’s imperial power cannot be shaken. The more one coveted, the more miserable the ending.


Incite conflict among the princes? Setting aside the fact that the crown prince, as the eldest di son, had received good upbringing, and supported by the court officials, the second prince was only just eleven, so how can he fight with the crown prince? Moreover, the crown prince, towards the Xie clan, was also very mediocre. That’s why, although the Xie family had produced an empress extremely favored by the emperor, it was actually no different from not having one. However, even after more than a decade, certain people of the Xie clan were still unwilling to give up, jumping up and down.
