In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: A Smile Over The Shoulder Brings Endless Charm

Su Pan’er’s heart was clear as a mirror.

The person blocking her way and crying injustice had a face full of panic, but her steady breathing completely gave her away.

No need for an interrogation or even a look; Su Pan’er understood this person was putting on an act.

Furthermore, if every palace maid and the like began to skip ranks and appeal directly to her, she would spend all day dealing with these disputes alone, leaving no time for anything else.

Speaking of which, that woman looked very familiar!

"Empress, just now, that was not a palace maid, but... it was ’Feng Gui Ren (Honourable person Feng).’" Jiu Lan hesitated but still reported.

"This palace is aware."

Su Pan’er glanced over her eyebrows and eyes, answering indifferently.

How could she forget that Liu Xuan’er?

Back when she was still Mrs. Hou, she went to Mrs. Zhang’s Mansion for a banquet to admire the flowers. As she passed by a corner, it was this very Liu Xuan’er who suddenly dashed out from the other side, heading straight for her. Fortunately, Su Pan’er was agile and dodged in time, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for her to extricate herself that day!

The moment she saw that face again, the memories associated with Liu Xuan’er surged forth.

Moreover, Su Pan’er had no fondness for the Liu Family, and even less for this "adopted daughter" fostered by Liu Yankang.

That’s why she avoided her the moment she recognized her.

While Su Pan’er was deep in thought about the other’s identity, her steps didn’t stop, and soon she arrived outside the Purple Zen Hall.

The Purple Zen Hall was heavily guarded by the Imperial Guard, each holding a large saber, majestic and with a strong momentum. It was as if one man stood in the pass against ten thousand.

Su Pan’er stopped the Imperial Guard who wanted to go in to report and took two steps closer, leaning forward to look inside the Purple Zen Hall.

Inside there were many people kneeling, a dark mass from her view, yet not a whisper could be heard, only the sight of one back after another.

"Speak! Why have you all fallen silent?"

Su Pan’er pricked up her ears and heard Qin Yi suddenly say those two sentences.

The kneeling ministers didn’t say a word.

"Speak up! Weren’t you all very eloquent just now?"

Qin Yi slammed the desk with a bang, furiously angered!

He was frustrated, frowning hard, glaring round-eyed at the ministers below.

It must be said that after these days of a pampered life, Qin Yi’s momentum had grown ever more formidable. The saying goes, "When the Emperor is angry, he could lay a million corpses!" Although it wouldn’t lead to a million corpses at present, dealing with the few people here wouldn’t be difficult.

The ministers quietly exchanged glances, yet none replied.

No one had expected the situation to develop to this current state. Originally, they were all discussing the Autumn Imperial Civil Service Examination, but unexpectedly, the topic was sidetracked.

As they talked, they unexpectedly shifted to discussing the topic of encouraging His Majesty to take in more concubines to fill the Imperial Harem’s Palace. Just then, the Left Deputy and First Prime Minister, who have always been adversaries, began to quarrel immediately, and the grand hall became noisy with arguments.

This was like stepping on a cat’s tail; the normally good-tempered His Majesty flared up in an instant!

"Previously, weren’t each of you holding onto your reason, debating incessantly? Why are you silent now? I keep you, not to have you keep quiet when you should speak and prattle away pointless talk when you shouldn’t! This is the Purple Zen Hall, the place for discussing state affairs, not a grocery market where you make a racket! Ah..."

Qin Yi was scolding with gusto when he saw Eunuch An hurry forward, and paused, somewhat taken aback.

Eunuch An is indeed an old servant who has been with him for a long time, knowing his habits intimately; he was aware that His Majesty did not like to be disturbed while handling state affairs. Yet, given today’s special circumstances, thinking of how rarely the Empress came to find His Majesty, he dared not keep Her Majesty waiting outside. He thus steeled himself to approach, bearing the pressure as he whispered closely into His Majesty’s ear.

A sigh of relief was breathed by the group of ministers!

It seemed that the scolding session finally met with resistance, and they would all have to thank Eunuch An for his "magnanimity" in thus sacrificing his lesser self for the greater good!

Unexpectedly, not only did His Majesty not rage, the remaining anger on his face slowly dissipated, turning instead to a look of pleasant surprise.

"Let this matter be, everyone may dismiss!" he said.

Qin Yi quickly spoke a couple of sentences before sweeping his sleeves dramatically and hurriedly rushing out of the grand hall.

Behind him came the collective voice of the ministers bidding farewell with "We respectfully send off His Majesty," yet Qin Yi had already briskly stepped out of the grand hall, sweeping his gaze around, indeed catching sight of Su Pan’er, resplendently dressed beneath the beautiful banana plant outside, immediately making his eyes shine!

Compared to usual times, Su Pan’er, all dressed up, was even lovelier than a flower. Compared to the past, she carried a sharper aura and an additional measure of spirited courage, which dazzled the eye at first glimpse!

What a radiant beauty!

"Pan’er, you’ve come to visit me? Why didn’t you let the servants report this? Look at you, standing in the draft, aren’t you cold?"

Qin Yi’s words were light-hearted, his face beaming with joy as he walked briskly up to Su Pan’er.

As he walked, he also commanded Eunuch An to fetch his cloak.

"No need, I am not cold. Your servant greets Your Majesty," Su Pan’er hurriedly interjected, bowing to Qin Yi: "Has Your Majesty forgotten? Your servant has always been sturdy since childhood, and besides, it is not cold today."

"Who says it’s not cold? Look at your fingers, they are all chilly," Qin Yi said.

He personally helped Su Pan’er to her feet, holding her somewhat cool fingertips in his palm and gently rubbing them with his own hands.

"I truly am not cold, for I felt somewhat sweaty on the way here."

How could she be as frail as he imagined?

She had, in fact, practiced martial arts, and her physical constitution was uncommonly strong compared to others.

"You still think you’re as you were before," Qin Yi said.

Even though Su Pan’er said nothing, Qin Yi could guess her thoughts, and he chuckled: "Aren’t you unwell now? When sick, your constitution is much weaker, and your resistance is much lower. You can’t be careless."

As they spoke, Eunuch An hurriedly brought the cloak, presenting it to His Majesty with both hands.

Qin Yi took it, meticulously and considerately wrapping it around her neck, and draped it over her shoulders. Then he went to her chin and tied it into a knot.

Truth be told, Su Pan’er was not short, even by modern standards she stood at least at one meter seventy, yet standing in front of Qin Yi, who was one meter eighty-five, she was still half a head shorter, and resembled a little bird relying on a person.

Qin Yi’s face was filled with joy, and from the side, the sight of them could indeed be described as a handsome man and a pretty woman, as if they were a picture-perfect scene that delighted the heart and mind.

It even left the ministers who had just walked out of the Purple Zen Hall in single file completely dumbfounded.

It may be that she felt their presence, for the Empress suddenly turned around, dazzling their eyes!

At the turn of her smile, she brought countless charms to life; the powder and rouge in the six palaces were colorless!

The ancients truly did not deceive!

A single thought revolved in everyone’s mind, small wonder then that the saying "Spring nights are short; the sun rises early, from now on the king seldom attends the morning court session" existed.
