In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1254 - 1165: If His Majesty says so, then let it be.

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1165: If His Majesty says so, then let it be.

"I’m not hungry. It’s nothing, just been a bit busy recently. It will be better once I get through this busy period."

Qin Yi sat down and began to eat the dessert slowly. The reason he had been so busy was that he had been trying to process the backlog of national affairs that had piled up over the New Year. He didn’t want to still be swamped with national affairs when Pan’er was in childbirth.

Su Pan’er gently set down her bowl. "You and Ke’er talked for such a long time, did you have instructions for him?"

"Yes, I’ve asked Ke’er to go back to Luoyan Village to do something for me. You know I’ve been thinking about re-interring the remains of the late emperor along with my mother’s remains into the Imperial Mausoleum. But first, we need to locate where my mother was buried. And for that, we’ll need to find someone who knew about it back then. Ke’er is helping me with this; he is expected to leave the capital within these few days."

Qin Yi didn’t avoid letting her know about this matter, instead, he explained the whole cause and process to her.

"That’s good; it will also alleviate your ongoing concerns about this matter. However, the funds for the mausoleum construction are still not sufficient, right? How do you plan to handle it?"

Su Pan’er inevitably asked a few questions.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything regarding this matter, you don’t need to be concerned."

This was something Qin Yi opted not to elaborate on, and instead, he brought up the topic of Su Ke’s dossier.

Su Pan’er was quite satisfied with Su Ke’s academic performance. When Qin Yi mentioned it, she openly expressed her opinion.

"As the saying goes, ’Too rigid and you’ll break,’ Ke’er’s results are quite good—not too high, nor too low. It’s really thoughtful of you to have considered so much for him. If it were me, I’d probably rank him just after second class to prevent arrogance and complacency."

"Listen to you, as if I could just change Ke’er’s results as I please."

Qin Yi joked, but in reality, as the emperor, it would indeed be very easy for him to change Su Ke’s ranking.

However, he wouldn’t deliberately alter the outcome.

"That’s good then."

Su Pan’er’s eyes crinkled into a smile, even her eyebrows curved upward as she looked at Qin Yi’s empty bowl and chuckled. "This morning, I asked the kitchen to prepare the ’Four Treasures’ dish. It’s a dish that demands craftsmanship, time, and effort, yielding four different flavors in one. I specially arranged it knowing Your Majesty has really been working hard these past few days."

"From what I see, this dish is to shut me up."

Qin Yi burst into laughter, pushing the empty bowl aside.

"If Your Majesty says so, then let’s just agree on that."

Su Pan’er also started to laugh, not shying away from her little scheme.

Such an attitude made Qin Yi unable to resist coming forward to hug her, planting a kiss on her forehead. "Good! I love my Pan’er’s nature. Very good!"

It was broad daylight, and Su Pan’er quickly placed a hand on his chest, glancing to the left and right at the servants attending to them, even tutting lightly.

"Don’t cause such a scene in broad daylight."

"I just love to tease you, haha..."

With a wave of his hand to the servants behind him, Qin Yi continued to lean in toward Pan’er, inevitably leading to more intimate whispers and teasing.

After the two separated once more, both their cheeks were flushed with a touch of pink. Su Pan’er’s hairdo had become a mess, her breathing quickened, and she couldn’t help but glance back at him with a sidelong look, pinching him at the waist.

"That’s enough, isn’t it? If you keep goofing around like this, are we still going to have dinner tonight?"

"Why bother with dinner when I have you? You’re a delicacy that appeals to all my senses, how could I possibly want anything else?"

As he spoke, Qin Yi clung to her like Taffy once again, his hands roving mischievously as he teased her.

Su Pan’er swatted at him: "Be careful not to hurt the children."

"Don’t worry, I’m being careful. These are my children, how could I possibly hurt them?"

Qin Yi said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, though his hands clearly relaxed their entanglement. Yet he still wrapped his arms imperiously around her waist.

"Hmm?"

Su Pan’er’s eyes suddenly narrowed: "If these children are your heirs, does that mean Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean are not Your Majesty’s heirs?"

The sudden urgency in her voice made Qin Yi smile wryly.

"You know very well that’s not what I mean."

His large hand gently caressed her swollen belly: "Whether it’s Little Yanyan or Little Sugar Bean, or the twins in your belly, they are all the flesh and blood of both you and me, how could I not cherish them?"

"But what if, what if... I give birth to two princesses this time?"

Su Pan’er grimaced as she voiced her recent worries.

"So what if they’re princesses? Could my daughter Qin Yi ever be a coward? If need be, we’ll just raise her like a boy!"

Qin Yi spoke with such ease, and suddenly, he thought of Feng Xiyue in Shuiyan Park with her big belly, a glimmer flashing in his eyes.

Su Pan’er laughed for no apparent reason, suddenly feeling more at ease.

"Stop talking nonsense. Even if the children in my belly really are princesses, how could the courtiers willingly submit to a princess’s command? Forget it! The worst-case scenario wouldn’t be any different than this. If that really happens, why not do as those ministers suggest and have Your Majesty adopt a child from one of the feudal lords to raise in the palace?"

Though raising someone else’s child was genuinely a grueling affair, it seemed to be the only solution for the sake of the children’s well-being.

"You! You always worry about such unfounded things."

Qin Yi suddenly pinched her delicate chin: "Right now, you should focus on Pregnancy Health and not think about anything else!"

Su Pan’er’s eyes were full of yearning: "I’ve always hoped to give birth to a prince or two who look like you, holding our children’s hands together, sitting under a Cluster of Hibiscus Flowers, watching the world change. Accompanying you through the seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter."

Qin Yi nodded repeatedly, taking Su Pan’er’s hand and bringing her fingers to his lips for a kiss.

"When we both grow old, I will pass the throne to our children. By that time, free from obligations, I will take you to travel through mountains and rivers, witnessing the ebb and flow of the tide. Along the way, we’ll collect every bit of laughter, and when we’re both too old to walk any further, we’ll find a scenic place to peacefully spend our final years."

"A scenic place... how about Luoyan Village?"

Su Pan’er also smiled happily, snuggling into his broad chest: "As they say, ’Falling leaves return to their roots.’ The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you. Luoyan Village is your hometown. When we’re too old to go anywhere else, let’s return to Luoyan Village and live our quiet little lives."

"By then, we will both have gray hair and our faces lined with wrinkles. You’ll be sitting in a rocking chair, gently swaying, and I’ll fan you with a Cattail Leaf Fan. Still as beautiful as ever... and you will be sitting in the rocking chair, telling me the stories you know best."
