Chapter 1252: Chapter 1163: Those Who Achieve Great Things

"Shameful! Ke’er only achieved first place outside the first class scholars and did not reach High School... he even performed worse than Feng Jiu! It really makes Ke’er..."

The happier she became, the more upset Su Ke felt.

He was utterly intent on bringing honor to his Fourth Sister-in-law, wanting her to be proud of him! He wanted his Fourth Sister-in-law to solidify her position as the head of the Imperial Harem’s Palace. All these were goals he strove to achieve.

But he had unexpectedly lost to Feng Jiu!

Thinking that Feng Jiu was third highest and he himself was only first place outside the first class scholars, it really made him immensely sad.

"Feng Jiu?"

Su Pan’er slightly pondered and then understood the implication in Su Ke’s words. She could not help but laugh!

"My child, there is always someone better out there, and ’wealth and honor are predestined by heaven.’ In life, as long as we do our best and have a clear conscience, the results do not matter. We need not compare ourselves with others. Moreover, your Fourth Sister-in-law sees all the effort you put in. She is very pleased with your good results!"

These words strangely smoothed out the slight melancholy on Su Ke’s face, making him burst into laughter.

"Fourth Sister-in-law..."

Clap Clap Clap!

"Well said!"

Suddenly, a sound of applause came from outside, and Qin Yi strode in.

Su Ke was startled and quickly knelt down in haste.

But Qin Yi supported him up.

"Ke’er, what your Fourth Sister-in-law said was very good. You must remember it well, understand? Come, let us sit down and talk."

Qin Yi beckoned Su Ke and also helped Su Pan’er, who was attempting to kneel, to stand up.

"How are you feeling? No problems with your health today? Is the child behaving?"

"No issues, I am doing well."

Su Pan’er’s expression was clearly very happy. "Ke’er just arrived, and I thought we hadn’t all gathered together for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, I sent for you. Are you still busy?"

"It’s just some messy matters from the Court, but I am done with them."

Qin Yi reassuringly patted her hand and turned to look at Su Ke, who stood quietly by the side: "Ke’er, I have reviewed your dossier, and the part about the river management seems feasible. It is good that you have not solely focused on book learning."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Su Ke gave a fist salute. "But Your Majesty also knows of my humble origins. Growing up in the countryside as a child, I am somewhat familiar with these matters and do not deserve such high praise."

"Good! Very good, neither arrogant nor impatient, the demeanor of someone who will achieve greatness. Seeing you grow to this extent fills me with joy!"

Qin Yi was especially moved.

"I must say, why does the conversation between you two feel so uncomfortable to me?"

Su Pan’er particularly disliked their businesslike attitude and waved her hand, commanding the Palace Maids and Eunuchs to leave: "Ke’er rarely visits me in the palace, let’s relax and not make everyone tense. Ke’er, you should be a good subject, and Your Majesty, you should be a good emperor, which you can certainly show to the courtiers in the Court. As for now, let’s keep it as it used to be."

"So-called proprieties must never be discarded. His Majesty’s status is unlike before, and I dare not be so casual."

Su Ke was still speaking with utmost earnestness.

This caused Su Pan’er to frown and arch her brows.

Seeing Su Pan’er’s demeanor as if a storm was about to break, Qin Yi immediately laughed, "Alright, alright, you, lad! Are you still deliberately opposing your fourth sister? Look at her, if I were to show you a grim face, I bet she would start giving me the cold shoulder tonight!"

Su Ke also laughed, his attitude becoming much more amiable, "Fourth Brother-in-law, you’re wrong there. At most, my sister would just stay silent, how would she dare to show disdain towards you?"

"Hahaha... your fourth sister shows disdain quite often. She..."

Qin Yi hadn’t finished his words when he suddenly started coughing violently, his face contorting into a strange expression as he grimaced.

Su Ke looked skeptically at Qin Yi’s waist, feeling uncertain in his heart.

Su Pan’er seemed to notice his gaze and awkwardly withdrew her hand, pretending as if nothing had happened, and blinked, "Your Majesty, what is wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell, should I call for the Imperial Physician for you?"

What use is the Imperial Physician?

"No need, I... I just choked on my saliva, I’ll be fine in a moment."

Qin Yi rubbed the lazy flesh on his waist, wondering if it would be bruised purple when he woke up tomorrow.

The interaction between the two eased Su Ke’s heart.

From the attitude between his fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law, their relationship seemed as good as ever.

Qin Yi then coaxed Su Pan’er a few more times before ordering the Imperial Kitchen to prepare meals.

"Your fourth sister lately has taken to nitpicking with the chefs, constantly testing the skills of the Imperial Kitchen with various demands, and the menu changes at every meal. Although it tires the chefs greatly, it has allowed me to taste many exquisite dishes. You should try some later too."

This proposal immediately gained Su Pan’er’s endorsement: "That sounds great! Fourth Sister recently discovered several new dishes that taste wonderful; you should try them as well. I’ll have someone bring Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean over, and we can chat while we eat. Tell me about the home situation."

Su Ke readily agreed.

"Thank you, Fourth Sister, thank you, Fourth Brother-in-law. Actually, before entering the palace, I was drinking shallow toasts with Grandfather. He was very happy today, drinking a few more cups of wine..."

Su Ke had passed the first place outside the first-class scholars, which would definitely make his grandfather who highly valued family honor very happy. Su Pan’er understood this well.

Lately, the Imperial Chef was terrified by Su Pan’er’s demanding palate, the dishes brought up being quite different from before.

The dishes were extremely delicate, yet served in small portions. Fortunately, they tasted excellent and were made according to the varying tastes that Su Pan’er preferred lately. With today’s addition of Su Ke entering the palace, and having Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean’s company, Su Pan’er actually managed to eat an extra half bowl of rice.

During the meal, Su Ke also shared the situations of everyone at home, especially detailing the health of the grandparents and parents which Su Pan’er cared about deeply.

This made Su Pan’er quite emotional: "It is unfortunate I cannot be by my parents’ side to serve them. Thankfully, you are with them; otherwise, I would hardly be at peace staying in the palace."

"Fourth Sister, just take good care of yourself, and the little prince, and having two nieces is good enough. As for father and mother, with Ke’er there to fulfill the filial duties, you need not worry."

Su Ke solemnly promised.

He then mentioned another matter, "A few days ago, mother mentioned you and the little prince in your belly, planning to enter the palace tomorrow to be with you. Your condition is getting heavier, and she is quite worried."

Previously, Mrs. Su-Hua had stayed in the palace accompanying Su Pan’er in anticipation of childbirth. However, considering Su Ke’s Spring Imperial Civil Service Examination and knowing her due date was still some time away, Su Pan’er decided to leave Mrs. Su-Hua at home to take care of Ke’er’s dietary and daily needs.
