Chapter 48: Mother of all on earth
This warm weather was causing the flowers to release its fragrance. It is not a novelty thing. Li Wei Yang frowned, watching Mo Zhu directing people to bring in the Begonia. One look at the Chinese flowering apple, one would know that this was famous, unbloomed red Chinese flowering apple bud, a bit like rouge, while strewn about are some that have already bloomed, a dark concentration. The leaves also set it off well, light green and meticulous, just like a green temples, red face, letting people come across it unrivaled beauty.
Begonia, her favourite flower in her past life.
Back then in the palace, Begonias were often planted. At that time, she thought that the bright and beautiful begonias represented Tuoba Zhen’s care and love for her. Afterwards she learned that Begonias were in fact also called heartbroken flowers. It is an unlucky thing. Tuoba Zhen in reality was a very loathsome man. Everything he did was just a play. The fact that he would send begonias today, it was really an exquisite irony.
Mo Zhu said: “San Dianxia said famous flowers are suitable for beauties. He has inadvertently disturbed all the misses, therefore presenting the Buddha with borrowed flowers, to apologize. Peonies for Da Xiaojie, baby roses for Er Xiaojie, jasmines for Si Xiaojie, for Wu Xiaojie is----”
Upon seeing Li Wei Yang’s expression, Mo Zhu became silent.
Seeing the begonias flowering like spitting fire, Li Wei Yang subconsciously reached out a hand and gently caressed the most flourished flower. She went silent for a long while before her hand stiffen, picked off the most beautiful flower. The colour of that flower was especially bright and red. Under the candlelight, it looked just like blood. Her hand slowly tightened, the petals twisted in her palm, then fiercely hurling it, the flower petals falling in pieces on the floor.
Mo Zhu looked surprised at this scene, Li Wei Yang said: “The evening wind is strong, destroying the begonias.”
Mo Zhu understood, bowed and said: “Yes.”
Bai Zhi could not help but be bewildered; what Xiaojie is thinking about, they cannot even fathom….

When Da Furen returned to the house, she immediately dismissed everyone and snapped: “Kneel!”
Li Chang Le was startled. She had never seen her mother having such harsh words and stern looks, that she forgot to move, until Lin Mama reminded her, then she knelt down.
“Do you know what you did wrong today?”
Li Chang Le, at her mother’s words, immediately realized that this was about the incident where Dage and she tried to frame Li Wei Yang. Knowing that she had to conceal her anger, Li Chang Le then lowered her head, not speaking.
“Do you know, all these years, I have raised you with care, holding you in my hands, making you known in the world, for what?!”
Li Chang Le suddenly raised her head, said: “I know Mother loves me. In this case, why did you not stand up for me? You let that slut to climb above my head!”
Da Furen’s anger was hard to block: “You stupid girl! How has mother normally taught you?! Your status, how could you lower yourself to the level of a girl born from a concubine?! Do you want to infuriate me?!”
Li Chang Le turned away, tears falling, stubbornly refusing to admit wrong.
Da Furen’s heart felt extremely anxious and grievous, practically dying. Lin Mama seeing the situation is not good, hurriedly helped her cool down and also poured her a cup of water. Da Furen took a sip, then calmed down: “Chang Le, do you still not understand your mission?”
Li Chang Le was surprised, completely at loss.
Da Furen sighed, and personally went to help her up and let Li Change Le sit down on the soft couch before softly said: “Silly child, from the very beginning, our family’s hope is on you.”
Li Chang Le’s beautiful eyes contained doubts.
Da Furen said: “You are the most beautiful, most intelligent daughter of the Li family. Think about it; why are we so strict with you from a young age? Why do we want you to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and arts, that even in extreme cold or hot weather, we would supervise you so you don’t slack of?”
Li Chang Le’s long eyelashes fluttered. She said: “Because father and mother has high expectations of me?”
Da Furen’s smile became a bit mysterious: “Did you ever think of why even with your goddess like beauty, we rarely allow you to appear in public? Have you ever wondered why even though many matchmakers have came to the door of Li Residence, we are not willing to marry you off? Did you not wonder why no matter what you say or do, your father has never criticize you, loving you as ever before?”
Li Chang Le’s expression looked even more confused.
Da Furen sighed, stroking her hair, said: “At this point, you still don’t understand? From the very beginning, we have already decided to let you enter the palace, let you become the Empress, be the mother of all on earth, so that the power of our Li clan cannot be shaken.”
Li Chang Le was dumbfounded: “But the current Emperor already…”
Da Furen smiled: “Silly child, His Majesty is already old. But he has many sons. Most importantly, all of his sons are outstanding, extraordinary, and most of them are of similar age with you. One day, one of them will inherit the throne, and you only need to quietly wait for that moment to come.”
Lin Mama lowered her head; so, Furen had calculated such an idea in her mind.
Da Furen gently smiled, said: “Think about it, the Empress must be a famous, noble, dignified, wise and virtuous woman. Therefore, we have cultivated you in accordance to the qualities that an empress must have.”
“But...but I---” although Li Chang Le has already guessed her parents’ plan, actually hearing Da Furen admitting it for the first time, she could not help but be surprised.
“An empress’s background, must be noble, but cannot be a threat to His Majesty’s throne and power. Which is why although your father is the Prime Minister, he hid his light under a bushel, upholding the methods of the doctrine, unwilling to easily cultivate a faction, always agreeing with His Majesty’s ideas. Other people mock your father for being timid as a mouse, but this is the real way of being a subject. Those who stand out are insufferably arrogant, and in the end are still exterminated. Now, do you understand why after the incident blew up today, your father repressed this matter and refused to blame you?”
Li Chang Le listened, her face slowly showing complacency, but soon her face dropped again: “But I am not willing to see that slut being pleased with herself!”
Da Furen frowned, thinking that her daughter was still young and in the end could not understand the big picture, she then pointed out: “Although I dislike her, but I have suppressed myself to not make a move, do you know why is that?”
A thought turned in Li Chang Le’s mind, hesitatingly asked: “Mother, are you waiting for an opportunity?”
Da furen laughed: “You’re not too stupid. In facing an enemy, if you cannot hit the mark with certainty, then you need to wait for the opportunity. Your grandmother loves that girl, we only have a stroke of bad luck. In this provocation, did you not realized, even though your father did not blame you, he is disappointed with you!”
Li Chang Le was taken aback, murmured: “Disappointed?”
Da Furen sighed, said: “The most remarkable daughter in Li clan is you, but you are not the only daughter. If your father continues to be disappointed in you, then he will slowly give up on you.” She suddenly thought: “maybe Li Wei Yang is slowly forcing your father…”
Li Chang Le gnashed her teeth: “I don’t believe it, father has raised me for so many years, that he would be willing to give up on me!”

Thank you for the chapter~
ReplyDeleteSo the parents plan was this, it was kinda obvious but now we know for sure... I think the only way to completly shatter LCL is humiliating her in public, inside the house no matter what she suffers the parents wil always supress the matter...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the chapter! We can now see why change li become such a bitch, what else can we expect with a parents like that..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kindness to translating this awesomeness
ReplyDeleteDa Furen has her sights set on making her daughter the empress but in this life LI Wei Yan most definitely won't let her win. And Touba Zhen, his nerve, sending begonias! Thanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chapter. LCL is too stupid to really pick up what her mother is putting down. The silly cow is going to disgrace herself again, surely, attempting to disgrace her half-sister. At least we still have Toba Zhen to be a proper bad guy; he certainly wasn't suddenly introduced to the prettier sister in the first go around. If (when) he falls in love with Li Wei Yang, he's still the same jerk, with the same motivations, just with less help from her to be quite so powerful, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting in a previous and next button!!!and thank you for all the updates!! I really love this story!and to be able to easily understand it is also great! I usually get what they're saying but that can sometimes get lost in the longer english translations,i don't really get If it's the authors style or you guys but none the less it's appreciated!!
