In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1143 - 1055: Annoying People

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1055: Annoying People

The sixth day of the new year arrived in the blink of an eye, and His Majesty rose early to ascend to Huangjue Temple with the Civil and Military Officials to offer incense.

Su Pan’er wanted to go, but given her current condition, she had no choice but to stay in the palace.

The Civil and Military Officials accompanying His Majesty had been carefully selected; they were the most trusted confidants favored by His Majesty. The impressive procession made their way to Huangjue Temple, and during a mid-journey rest, His Majesty invited his close ministers to a shallow toast.

The dishes were exquisite, a full table of vegetables that left a tantalizing flavor on the lips.

The wine was superb, grape wine paired with luminous cups, nothing could be more dazzling!

When Qin Yi returned to Huayang Palace from Huangjue Temple, Su Pan’er almost immediately went to meet him, her face brimming with anticipation.

"You, how have you become so impatient?"

Qin Yi playfully tweaked her nose, neither confirming nor denying anything, which only tickled Su Pan’er’s curiosity even more.

Indeed, she had been growing more impatient recently, but who could blame her for having such a good husband?

"Rest assured, do you worry even when I am on the case? Later, tell Lui Muyi to take inventory and come to the palace. I’ve thought it over, and I intend to bestow upon him the title of Imperial Merchant. That way, it will be more convenient for him to come and go from the court in the future."

In the past, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the title of Imperial Merchant, and merchants were of low status, generally surviving by attaching themselves to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the like.

Not long ago, Su Pan’er casually mentioned the term Imperial Merchant without expecting Qin Yi to take it to heart.

Overjoyed, Su Pan’er hurried to give thanks, but Qin Yi stopped her.

"Don’t be too quick to thank me for him. This time, I have put forth quite a bit of effort; I am still waiting for my share of the two hundred thousand silver taels!"

Su Pan’er: "..."

He alone took away the net profit of two hundred thousand silver taels, all for having a few drinks with some people. Such money was too easy to earn!

Su Pan’er was speechless!

Yet, she also understood that even if those grape wines had not sold for two hundred thousand silver taels, the Lui Family father and son would probably end up handing over that much in the end!

She thought of her farms producing green vegetables which were now at their peak sales period during the New Year. By the end of this month, they could cover a substantial shortfall. The only downside was that ever since her own manor started selling green vegetables, several nearby manors had begun to compete, also vying to sell green vegetables. Initially, these vegetables fetched high prices in winter due to their freshness and exclusive monopoly. With increased quantities now, prices naturally fell, and the profits were much less.

Nonetheless, once a business was on track, it was a steady profit.

Besides, the major earnings were from the shops. Sales were at their peak during the New Year, too, but capital needed to be retained for turnover, and by the end of the month, even if there were surplus, it was doubtful much could be taken out...

Her mind was filled with thoughts of earning money, and she calculated various accounts, not even hearing many of the words Qin Yi spoke beside her.

Seeing her distracted, Qin Yi leaned down and bit her earlobe, almost as a form of punishment.

In pain, Su Pan’er gasped!

"What are you doing?"

She quickly covered her ear, wondering how this man had gone crazy again!

"What were you thinking? I’ve called you several times, and you didn’t respond."

Qin Yi’s face showed not a hint of remorse.

"What did you call?"

"I was asking about our precious daughter."

"She’s at..."

Su Pan’er pondered for a moment, "She should be over at the warm springs by now, she said before that she was going to play with the rascal pig."

Little Yanyan used to love that crested myna Luo Luo the most, but since Luo Luo died, whenever she thought of Luo Luo, she would run off to play with the rascal pig and talk to it. But that lazy pig recently fell in love with soaking in the warm springs, so if it isn’t in the Warm Pavilion, it’s definitely over there."

"By herself? She’s so young, and the area around the little island by the warm springs pool is all water, how could you feel at ease letting her go alone?"

Qin Yi disapproved, turning his head to instruct Eunuch An to find someone to bring Little Yanyan back.

Perhaps the volume of their conversation was loud, for the Little Sugar Bean sleeping on the chaise lounge rubbed her eyes and got up, calling out fuzzily, "Father Emperor," as she flung herself into Qin Yi’s arms.

Instantly, the slightly furrowed brow on Qin Yi’s face relaxed, and he unconsciously wore a smile.

"Little Sugar Bean seems to have gotten heavier recently, and her cheeks have grown a bit too."

His own daughter, he just couldn’t help but hold her every day when he saw her. He could always tell if she had put on weight.

Since Little Sugar Bean had woken up, she naturally had to add supplementary food. Without waiting for Su Pan’er’s instructions, Jiu Lan quietly ladled a small bowl of silver Prussian carp and tofu soup from the stove in the adjoining patio and brought it over. Su Pan’er hurriedly took it, scooped a spoonful, and tried it first, checking the temperature and taste. Seeing it was just right for the child, she then fed it to Little Sugar Bean.

"Children grow a little heavier each day as they get older, naturally."

After feeding Little Sugar Bean two mouthfuls in succession, when she went to feed the third spoonful, another big mouth came and snatched the food."

Little Sugar Bean, originally with her mouth wide open waiting for food, found herself robbed by her own Father Emperor and immediately stared at him with a pair of puzzled big eyes.

Qin Yi laughed smugly at her.

Is he really getting more childlike with age, now even snatching the child’s food?

Su Pan’er gave him a glare, then fed Little Sugar Bean another spoonful, "You might not see it, but Little YanYan is quite decisive for her age."

"Not that young? She’s already eight years old."

Qin Yi didn’t think an eight-year-old girl was still young. Seeing Su Pan’er’s spoon coming over again, he smoothly took another mouthful for himself.

But Little Sugar Bean reached out her little paws towards Qin Yi’s mouth, trying to pry it open to check inside.

Su Pan’er burst into laughter!

She gave Qin Yi another glare and hurriedly scooped another spoonful for Little Sugar Bean.

"What eight years old? Isn’t it still a few days before she turns eight?"

It was still a virtual age!

Qin Yi opened his mouth wide waiting for Su Pan’er to feed him, and when she didn’t, he simply grabbed the spoon for himself, scooped up a full spoonful, and put it into Su Pan’er’s mouth, then spooned another bite for Little Sugar Bean and himself.

Tasting the fragrant soft tofu in his mouth, he couldn’t help but talk non-stop, "You see, she’s only eight years old, but being born into the Imperial Family, she’s destined not to be as free as ordinary girls, to do whatever they wish. At the very least, she needs to learn to take care of her body, right? Look at how talkative she is usually, just take last night for example... So noisy, what will happen when she goes to her mother-in-law’s house in the future?"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but think of Little YanYan, who was usually quite manageable.

But as soon as she was alongside Qin Yi, that little mouth never stopped for a moment. She was like a little baby with a million whys, constantly asking Qin Yi all sorts of questions; often Qin Yi didn’t know how to answer properly, no wonder he found YanYan noisy.

Especially when they wanted to have a private conversation, she would also squeeze in between them, which was truly vexing!

He desperately wished Little YanYan could grow two years older immediately, so she could live in a separate garden with her nanny.
