Chapter 581: Chapter 574 Celebrate Little New Year_1

She couldn’t help but admire their relationship, the love between the Lord and the Lady is so wonderful, like honey blending with oil.

Now, as the Lady’s pregnancy is nearing childbirth, any other lord would have probably sought love elsewhere. But our Lord still cherishes the Lady so much, they are truly a pair to be envied!

Upon reaching Xiaoyao Pavilion, the pavilion was as warm as springtime. Someone at some point must have started the under-floor heating and used Silver Frost Charcoal to make the entire Xiaoyao Pavilion pleasantly warm.

Could the scholar have been responsible for this? Without giving it further thought, she looked up at Qin Yi.

What she encountered were a pair of eyes full of affectionate fondness, the warmth and sweetness in them were enough to completely drown her.

His gaze rapidly magnified before her eyes, and his lips printed a quick kiss on her delicate, tender lips.

"Mm. Stop..."

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but let out a soft protest.

"Wife, the New Year is approaching. If you refuse to feed me meat, at the very least you ought to let me have some soup, right?"

A naughty smile appeared on Qin Yi’s face.

Without another word, he firmly held her head and continued kissing her fragrant, sweet lips even more domineeringly.

The Silver Frost Charcoal in the pavilion occasionally crackled, emitting sparks.

The moon outside the window, upon seemingly witnessing the intimate scene inside the pavilion, quietly hid behind the clouds.

When Qin Yi and Su Pan’er returned from Huxin Pavilion, it was already late.

Ke’er had finished school early and had been searching for Su Pan’er everywhere. When he finally saw her, he was so overjoyed, he clung to her and just wouldn’t leave, until late at night.

At this time, Su Huarong had still not returned.

It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to make it to the family reunion dinner of Little New Year’s Eve.

Su Pan’er wrinkled her brow slightly.

Unexpectedly, early next morning, just as Su Pan’er had just gotten up, she heard Qingwen report that Su Huarong had arrived and was in the living room.

Su Pan’er immediately went to the living room, and as soon as Su Huarong saw her, he broke into a wide smile.

"Fourth Younger Sister, how are you today? I haven’t seen you for a while, your stomach is getting larger. Your little nephew should be born soon, right?"

"First cousin brother? When did you come back?"

Su Pan’er looked surprised and delighted.

"I came back so late last night, the gate of the city outside Shengjing had already closed. Not until the fourth watch of the night, when the carriage carrying the spring water to the palace from Yuquan Mountain left through the South City Gate in the morning, was I able to enter the city."

Su Huarong explained why he had appeared here this morning.

"It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back. Our whole family can finally have a reunion dinner."

Su Pan’er was full of smiles. Suddenly thinking of Qin Yi who had gone to the palace early, she sighed: "It’s nice being an official, but they don’t know that being such an official requires getting up even earlier than roosters. I wonder when he will come back today."

The saying "Regret letting husband seek a noble title" couldn’t be more accurate!

Su Pan’er sighed particularly deeply. She kept muttering to herself, but as if speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived!

"Who will be back when?"

Qin Yi shrugged off the chill from outside as he walked in: "It seems the snow is not going to stop today. Today is indeed a great day for reunion. Even Heaven itself wants to join in the fun. I don’t know how the Stove God will report to the Jade Emperor?"

"Hey! What are you blabbering on about?"

Seeing everyone present, an idea suddenly popped into Su Pan’er’s head: "It’s not bad in snowy weather! Although a bit cold, the scenery is nice and makes people feel invigorated. Why don’t we do this? Let’s move our Little New Year’s Eve dinner to Xiaoyao Pavilion. The place is bright, the view is beautiful, and most importantly, we can crank up the under-floor heating. Sitting around the stove for hotpot gives us a lively and warm reunion dinner."

The eyes of both Qin Yi and Su Huarong brightened, giving her a thumbs up!

Without losing a beat, Qin Yi said: "That’s a great idea! And let’s give everyone in the household a day off so that they can spend time with their families and enjoy a warm meal."

"Sounds good! Making hotpot isn’t much work and there’s a saying, ’Do it yourself and you will have enough’. This would also be more fun and prevent the servants from feeling awkward watching us eat while they stand around, making us uncomfortable as well."

Su Ke bounced in from outside just in time to hear Su Pan’er’s words, and perked up immediately!

"Hotpot? Elder sister, is it the same one we ate last time? The one with a pot..."

"Isn’t it that hotpot? Do you like it?"

Su Pan’er laughed and ruffled his hair.

"Great, let’s eat that! That’s the best! Especially the instant-boiled mutton, the taste... is simply incredible!"

Saliva was practically dripping from Su Ke, the little foodie.

As everyone agreed, Qin Yi gave a slight smile to Su Huarong: "Done! We’ll eat hotpot today, warm a couple of pots of rice wine, and I’ll have a good drink with my first brother!"

Naturally, Su Huarong wouldn’t refuse. Everyone, grinning from ear to ear, went off towards Xiaoyao Pavilion.

All sorts of meats, fruits, cakes, and vegetables were packed in bamboo baskets and directly brought to the Xiaoyao Pavilion. After a while, a stove was raised, a pot was erected, and the soup base started heating.

The soup base in the pot slowly started boiling, everyone didn’t stand on ceremony and sat in a circle, all smiles, appearing very happy.

The rice wine was just warming up, and everyone was surrounding the stove, yet to start eating, when Ye Han came in with a flourish.

"From far away, I was struck by the delicious scent from here, arousing the hunger worms in my belly, so I barged in uninvited."

Like Qin Yi, although the Royal office seal was set on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Han was always running to the palace every two to three days.

"Brother Ye, please, come in!"

Qin Yi quickly got up and invited him: "We’re all siblings here, why mention coming uninvited? Come on, Brother Ye, sit down quickly. Today, we should drink until we’re drunk!"

"That’s what I was thinking too. My house is empty and it’s rather boring to celebrate the festival alone."

Ye Han casually replied, confidently sat down, and was surprised by the food before him.

"This is hotpot! This..."

Ke’er turned into a little explainer, talking about how to eat hotpot.

He explained in detail, which Ye Han understood right away. Picking up his chopsticks, he put some mutton into the pot. Following Ke’er’s instructions, he waited until it cooked, then dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth. After a few more bites, the mutton melted in his mouth, exceptionally fragrant, which was not something mutton stew or grilled mutton could match.

"Hmm, tastes really good! Rich but not greasy, it melts in your mouth, the aroma is wonderful."
