In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1256 - 1167: Momentum!

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1167: Momentum!

"Yes, yes, that’s the momentum!"

Mrs. Su-Hua nodded vigorously, her eager gaze fixed on Su Pan’er’s round belly. "I do hope my little grandson, when he is born, will be like his imperial father... What was that phrase? Ah... ’Majestic and with grandeur!’"

Su Pan’er was immediately amused.

"Mother, Pan’er is also looking forward to that day!"

After Mrs. Su-Hua entered the palace, it went without saying that she needed to chat with Su Pan’er and offer her guidance.

Su Pan’er had recently changed her listless demeanor, and alongside Mrs. Su-Hua, she walked around and looked at various places. By noon, she even ate half a bowl more rice than usual and then hugged her belly, declaring she was full, which delighted Mrs. Su-Hua. Afterward, Mrs. Su-Hua kept inventing new dishes to feed Su Pan’er with the earnest ambition of fattening her up a bit.

Once Su Pan’er’s pregnancy had progressed, she indeed put on some weight on both her body and face.

But to Mrs. Su-Hua’s eyes, that little bit of added weight was heartbreakingly insufficient!

"When I was pregnant with Ke’er, I gained so much weight. Not like you, who have become as thin as a bamboo pole, with only the belly showing size. No, I must prepare more food for you."

When Mrs. Su-Hua said she would do something, she certainly did it, cooking delicious meals for Su Pan’er.

Filled to the brim, Su Pan’er started feigning sleep whenever it was time to eat. And indeed, she managed to gain a little bit of "baby fat."

"Pan’er, although it may not be suitable for me to suggest this at this time," Mrs. Su-Hua proposed, "I notice Qin Yueshi isn’t too busy lately, and there’s still some time before Shuang’er’s wedding. Why not invite her to the palace to keep you company?"

Mrs. Su-Hua had considered it carefully.

With Pan’er’s due date approaching, she worried that in case she missed any detail in care, calling Qin Yueshi to the palace would provide an extra person to help, giving everyone some peace of mind.

After a moment’s hesitation, Su Pan’er nodded, "Perhaps it’s not necessary?"

Qin Yueshi had indeed been entering and exiting the palace gate several times recently, but considering she had a whole family to care for and Qin Shuan’er’s wedding preparations to attend to, she was swamped with tasks. Seeing her running around so busily, Pan’er could not bear to see her wear herself out.

Hearing Su Pan’er’s reasons, Mrs. Su-Hua understood.

"I failed to consider everything. Shuang’er’s wedding date is nearing, and she has so many things to prepare; indeed, there isn’t much time for her to visit."

Qin Shuan’er’s wedding was originally scheduled for the end of July. While it seemed there was still time, marrying into a prominent family in Shengjing was naturally incomparable to Su Pan’er’s past casual wedding in Luoyan Village, where one could just roll up one’s belongings and be wed. Marriage in an aristocratic family here involved all sorts of preparations; naturally, it was not an easy task.

Su Pan’er had these considerations in mind, which is why she dismissed the idea.

As for Su Ke, when it came time to express gratitude to his mentor, there was nearly a minor incident.

Su Ke, along with Xue Qian, had achieved high school status, and it was customary to return to Yingtian Academy to thank their mentor for his teachings.

Their mentor Lei Yu was visibly pleased with their visit, warmly hosting the two.

"You two, once you enter the court, must not forget that you both hail from the same school. You should look out for and support each other, for that’s how you will have a stable and enduring career," he emphasized, with a particular focus on Su Ke. His words were clearly meant for Su Ke to heed.

Neither one dared to neglect their manners, hastily rising to bow with their fists clasped: "We thank our mentor for your teachings!"

Lei Yu nodded repeatedly, clearly satisfied with their respectful demeanor.

However, he still lectured them once more before allowing them to leave.

As the two of them were taking their leave, he spoke up to keep Su Ke behind, "Su Ke, wait for a moment."

Just as Su Ke, who was about to step out the door with Xue Qian, exchanged a glance with Xue Qian, he watched Xue Qian leave while he turned around and walked back.

"Mentor."

"Ke’er, don’t just stand there, come, come, let’s sit down and talk."

Lei Yu’s face was full of kindness as he kept calling him over.

"Thank you, Mentor. Su Ke dares not, in front of Mentor, where does Su Ke have a place to sit."

Su Ke’s expression was respectful and polite.

Feeling somewhat anxious about Lei Yu keeping him behind alone.

Lei Yu, exceedingly gentle, also rose and walked over to Su Ke’s side, "Ke’er, you should be nearly seventeen this year, right? I wonder if your family has arranged a marriage for you?"

The question from his mentor was so direct that it took Su Ke by surprise.

Seeing the determined look on Lei Yu’s face, his thoughts raced, and he promptly rose, his face showing a bit of embarrassment as he bowed with his fist.

"Su Ke is still young, and in the past, my mother had intended to settle a marriage for Su Ke. However, the Empress stopped it later. The Empress said, ’Without a career, how can one start a family?’ She asked this student to focus on preparing for the exam, which ultimately led to placing first outside the first-class scholars. Speaking of which, I must thank the Empress’s loving care."

Su Ke bringing up the Empress made the corners of Lei Yu’s mouth twitch slightly.

"The Empress’s deep affection for you, Ke’er, makes Lei Yu envious. The Empress indeed treats you very well."

"This student is also proud to be considered a brother of the Empress!"

Su Ke showed a trace of shame on his face, "It’s also due to the student, who has inadvertently troubled the Empress. The Empress is currently pregnant, yet she still worries about Su Ke’s affairs every day. This time, when Su Ke returned to his hometown in Luoyan Village, the Empress was so concerned that she sent people over and over again to help, and she specifically instructed on the student’s marriage, saying... the Empress has not spared any effort..."

With that one sentence, Lei Yu’s whole demeanor shifted from sunny to gloomy.

If the Empress was to decide on Su Ke’s marriage in the future, then the plan he had in mind was unlikely to succeed!

With such a thought, Lei Yu’s smile became particularly forced.

Oblivious to this, Su Ke made idle conversation with Lei Yu for a while until Lei Yu, with decreasing interest, waved his hand to let Su Ke depart.

Xue Qian had not left alone and, seeing Su Ke come out, quickly approached.

"Su Ke, did Uncle Lei... did he need you for something?" He gestured with his eyes.

"It’s nothing. Let’s go."

Su Ke naturally wouldn’t say more and pulled Xue Qian to leave.

Such matters should not be discussed with outsiders; he couldn’t tarnish the reputation of a young lady.

"Hey! Su Ke, why are you walking so fast? Wait, wait for me. You haven’t said what the mentor asked you privately? Su Ke, Su..."

Xue Qian chased after Su Ke, but as he was following, the leading Su Ke suddenly stopped, and Xue Qian bumped into him.

With a grimace of pain, he looked up to see, not far ahead, Miss Lei Yu, accompanied by her plump maidservant, standing beside the Flower Stage, gathering petals.

The plump maidservant was wide and heavy with rolls of fat all over, whereas Miss Lei Yu had a slender figure and graceful posture. Holding a basket filled with various small flowers, dressed in a pink tube top with a long skirt of moonlight color layered over it, a goose-yellow belt tied around her svelte waist, outlining a perfect figure.
