In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1137 - 1049: When Have I Not Indulged You?

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1049: When Have I Not Indulged You?

"Nonsense."

Qin Yi was amused and then felt a pang of heartache, "You are a woman, and you have been living in the deep palace for so long, what kind of plan could you possibly come up with? Don’t worry about those matters. Just focus on pregnancy health and safely giving birth to the child—that’s the right thing to do. No amount of money can replace a healthy body. Understand?"

Seeing her look of indifference, he emphasized his words.

"Who says that just because I’m in the deep palace, I can’t come up with a plan? I never said I would earn the silver myself."

Su Pan’er huffed, "As for pregnancy health, it’s merely about giving orders, arranging for others to run errands. How could that not be taking care of myself during pregnancy?"

"That also requires effort and attention. Listen to me, take good care of yourself during pregnancy, and don’t make me worry, understand?"

Qin Yi’s words grew heavier, "Back then, when I was campaigning all over, I was fortunate to have you, my virtuous Consort, managing to raise funds and send strategic supplies from the rear, laying the foundation for my eventual victories. It can be said that half of my success today can be attributed to you. And the other small half should be accredited to the brothers who followed me through life and death. I have made you endure so many worries over the years. In the future, I do not wish for anything else but for you to live peacefully, for our children to be safe, and for our family to live well together—that would be all I desire!"

Such tender, heartfelt words made Su Pan’er’s heart tremble!

For a moment, she was unable to say anything.

"All these years, the things you’ve silently done, I’ve seen them all and kept them in my heart. The reason I haven’t spoken of them is that you are my wife, my Empress, and I truly hold you dear in my heart. Not saying it out loud doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten it."

Qin Yi gently embraced her waist, his voice particularly solemn.

Su Pan’er laughed lightly, buried her face in his chest, and inhaled the clean, tough scent that was characteristic of a man, squinting slightly.

"We are husband and wife, Your Majesty cherishes Pan’er so dearly, and Pan’er feels the same!"

Su Pan’er caressed his chest with her hand, "Your Majesty is worried about something, and Pan’er understands perfectly. Speaking of the silver, Pan’er does have some. Moreover, isn’t it to fulfill the filial duty of a daughter-in-law to the late Emperor and a mother-in-law I’ve never met? With that being said, would Your Majesty still want to stop me?"

When it came to this point, it seemed like disagreeing with her would be the same as preventing her from fulfilling her filial duties.

Qin Yi could only laugh wryly but still stubbornly shook his head, "No! Repairing the Emperor’s Mausoleum isn’t something that can be completed in a day or two. If you truly want to fulfill your filial duty, it won’t be too late to do so after the child is born."

His words were full of caution.

This stubborn man, how infuriating!

Su Pan’er had thousands of curses in her heart, but she couldn’t bring herself to utter them.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him fiercely.

Qin Yi found himself in a quandary, unable to decide whether to laugh or remain serious. He hurriedly soothed her, "Alright, alright, this time you’ll just have to indulge me, alright? Think about it, has there ever been a time when I’ve not granted your requests? Just this once, indulge me as well!"

Upon reflection, she realized he indeed had never refused any of her requests, and Su Pan’er’s wariness finally eased.

"You did say that!"

"It was I who said it!"

Having reached an agreement, they moved past the subject and casually discussed other matters, though both were preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Su Pan’er was considering the income from the various shops and manors she owned, both overtly and covertly.

After years of development and growth, the manors under her control that yielded the most were those located near the outskirts of Shengjing, which specialized in planting green vegetables. Apart from a few manors that Qin Yi had purchased when he was still Lord Marquis, the silver earned over the subsequent years had also been gradually invested in acquiring several adjacent estates. Especially those manors with hot springs were particularly lucrative. Each of these manors was managed by dedicated individuals, and the final accounts were presented to her by Su Huarong.

However, Su Huarong had later been granted an official post, which significantly reduced the time he could spend on these affairs, so they were handed over to Lui Muyi for management.

She realized that it had been quite a while since she had inquired about the income from these properties.

Now, it seemed time for her to take stock of the situation.

Thinking of Lui Muyi, she couldn’t help but remember that it had been a long time since she had last seen Big Brother Lui. The incident caused by Su Xian’er hadn’t overtly damaged her friendship with Lui Muyi, but their subsequent meetings were inevitably somewhat awkward. Consequently, unless necessary, she seldom met with Lui Muyi. Additionally, since Lui Muyi was ultimately her brother-in-law and she resided in the deep palace, meetings were even rarer.

To learn about the income from these manors, it seemed she needed to find a way to meet with Lui Muyi...

While Su Pan’er was lost in a myriad of thoughts, Qin Yi was also pondering his own concerns.

He was thinking very long-term.

The Marquis Yingwu stationed at Jiangning Mansion and the State Duke Hwa defending Yongzhou City were intended by the late Emperor as a backup for himself. However, before he could completely secure his own succession, the Emperor passed away unexpectedly. The remaining old ministers in the court were well aware that the visibly powerful military forces were not very strong, while the covert forces were the sharp spears and keen blades that the late Emperor had used to suppress and intimidate the Civil and Military Officials. It was with their help that he had effortlessly ascended to the dragon throne.

Since these forces had elevated him to power, they naturally became significant contributors. He had spared no expense in rewarding these troops and horses, which in turn made them even more fierce and brave. Their expansion and annexation of nearby forces had also accelerated, and several smaller neighboring forces had vanished without a trace. These nearby forces were now all controlled by his men.

Despite Marquis Yingwu’s robust health and advanced age, he was still capable of serving the Imperial Court. However, reports from the secret guards indicated that the sons of State Duke Hwa were entertaining other ideas...

The rapid increase in troop numbers and mixed quality had also brought him endless problems with provisioning, horse supplies, and various other issues.

There was growing discontent among the civil officials in the court, and before the imperial seals were locked at the year’s end, the Civil And Military Ministers had a major dispute over military provisions, food and fodder, and military supplies. From their perspective, these military leaders were the root cause of incessant strife at the Court and should reduce their numbers to ease the burden on the national treasury, avoiding the risk of insubordination and rebellion.

The military leaders thought these civil officials were simply finding fault because they had too much idle time on their hands. With internal strife not yet fully quelled and mountain bandits frequently haunting the fortresses, multiple military expeditions to suppress them had little effect. Meanwhile, Tartars repeatedly invaded the borders, committing arson, murder, and abductions unscrupulously.
