In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 971 - 976 Pretended Affection

Chapter 971: Chapter 976 Pretended Affection

Meanwhile, she secretively instructed Jiu Lan to have Miao Gu moved away from Little Yanyan’s side.

Before long, the news that the Empress had, upon entering the palace, dismissed the wet nurse arranged for the First Princess by His Majesty, spread throughout the entire Imperial Harem’s Palace.

If one were to speak of the most tranquil place, it would undoubtedly be the Imperial Palace! Yet, the place where news traveled the fastest was also without exception the Imperial Palace!

Here, there is not a single secret to speak of; the words spoken, the actions taken, one could assume even the number of sips of water one drank or the number of times one coughed was known by others.

Su Pan’er arranged for the children to stay in the side palace hall and instructed the Palace Maid to move her belongings in there, planning to live together with the children. Little Yanyan got her wish and was grinning so widely her smile nearly reached the back of her head, jumping and laughing around Su Pan’er, looking exceptionally joyful.

At noon, Su Pan’er took both children for a good nap.

In the afternoon, once Little Yanyan woke up, she urged her to practice writing for two hours. Little Sugar Bean, on the other hand, had already woken up and had been fed Mother’s Milk by the wet nurse, and then played with the two children for the entire afternoon.

Upon returning, what Qin Yi saw were the three of them laughing joyously, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After the morning court session, he intended to return early, but he was unexpectedly delayed by state affairs. By the time he finally handled everything and returned to the sleeping chamber, he discovered Su Pan’er was missing!

Gone?

This gave Qin Yi a cold sweat!

Fortunately, a eunuch reported that the Empress had taken the two princesses to the side palace hall. He then hurried over and happened to see Little Sugar Bean babbling happily, while Pan’er and her elder daughter were playing Pitch-Pot, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"What are you playing, and laughing so heartily?"

Seeing Qin Yi, Little Yanyan ran into his arms with a beaming smile, "Daddy, Father, Mother is teaching me Pitch-Pot! It’s so fun, Daddy, won’t you come and play?"

Pitch-Pot, Qin Yi remembered the last time he played, it was several years ago.

He cheerfully lifted Little Yanyan and smiled broadly, "Great! Daddy will play with you. Tell Daddy, how do you play this?"

"Hurry up, Daddy, put Yan Yan down quickly. Let Yan Yan tell you, this Pitch-Pot..."

Little Yanyan wriggled out of Qin Yi’s embrace and quickly ran to the Pitch-Pot set, explaining the rules of the game without stopping.

Despite knowing she should call him ’Father Emperor’, Little Yanyan always forgot to correct herself.

Qin Yi’s gaze, however, was on Su Pan’er, who was holding Little Sugar Bean to the side.

Su Pan’er lowered her eyes, using her long lashes to hide the cold glint beneath, then bent her knees to greet him, "Pan’er pays respects to His Majesty."

"Pan’er."

Qin Yi stepped forward and personally lifted her, "We are husband and wife; what need have we for these formalities? Please rise."

Su Pan’er smoothly stood up, and as she did, she stepped back slightly and subtly stepped aside to avoid Qin Yi’s support, softly replying,

"The rites must not be discarded, this concubine dare not be presumptuous."

"You, what am I to do with you?"

Qin Yi felt that he could handle anyone with ease, except when facing Su Pan’er, he always felt a sense of helplessness. The words she said were nonsensical, yet he found himself unable to refute her.

A sweet smile appeared on Su Pan’er’s lips, but her eyes were chillingly cold.

Seeing that smile, Qin Yi always felt something was odd about Pan’er today, yet he couldn’t pinpoint what was peculiar. He moved forward to speak, but Little Yanyan behind him started to fuss.

"Daddy, you’re so mean! You’re not listening to Yan Yan! Yan Yan doesn’t like you at all! Hmph, hmph..."

Qin Yi had no choice but to turn around, hurrying to appease this sassy youngster, "Of course, Daddy heard my little Yan Yan speak. Daddy was telling your mother that you explained very well, it’s easy to understand."

"Really, really, really?"

Little Yanyan tilted her head, "Then good, Daddy, show me how you pitch-pot, and see if there’s anything Yan Yan didn’t cover. Hurry up!" She urged repeatedly.

"Alright! Daddy will pitch-pot for my little Yanyan to see."

Qin Yi couldn’t bear to scold his First Princess and ended up swallowing the words he was going to say to Su Pan’er, instead playing with little Yanyan.

Su Pan’er secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

If she continued to face him, she feared she would not be able to restrain the anger inside her and immediately lash out.

Luckily, their little savior appeared.

Father and daughter played pitch-pot wildly and thought of calling Su Pan’er over, but Su Pan’er said that little Sugar Bean needed her to soothe, letting a few eunuchs step forward to play instead. Naturally, the eunuchs didn’t dare to win against His Majesty and the First Princess, nor did they dare to obviously throw the game, so they played very cautiously. In the end, naturally, it was little Yan Yan who scored with a single arrow, winning against her own father and the eunuchs, which delighted her immensely!

She then wouldn’t stop chirping on and on! Just like a little sparrow.

Su Pan’er was happy to have this little sparrow between her and Qin Yi, helping her avoid an awkward situation.

As for Qin Yi, he was in pain yet delighted!

He was more than happy to play with his First Princess, but because he was playing with her, he couldn’t accompany Pan’er, especially when he saw her, holding little Sugar Bean to the side, revealing a face with a gentle and light smile, he felt a surge of passion in his heart!

He couldn’t help but be distracted with thoughts.

Yet he had to pretend to be all serious, not daring to do anything.

As the sky gradually darkened, palace lamps were lit in the side palace hall, and only then did little Yan Yan reluctantly put down the arrows, still muttering non-defeated, "Daddy, can we continue to play tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, yes, but you have to be a good girl and listen, then Daddy will continue to play with you tomorrow. How about that?"

Qin Yi coaxed little Yan Yan, his gaze slipping frequently onto Su Pan’er, with the passion in his eyes completely unveiled.

"Okay!"

Little Yan Yan crisply responded.

"Then hurry and go to the Inner Room to wash and rinse, look at all that sweat on your head."

Little Yan Yan stuck out her tongue and quickly followed a palace maid away.

Su Pan’er didn’t stop her, but she did not look at Qin Yi, instead, she played with little Sugar Bean in her arms, continuously talking to the baby and making it impossible for Qin Yi to find an opportunity to speak.

Qin Yi, undeterred, walked over and took Su Pan’er’s hand.

"Pan’er, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you speaking?"

"Nothing! Haven’t I been talking the whole time? Little Sugar Bean is so well-behaved, you think what mommy is saying is right, don’t you?"

Little Sugar Bean was only five months old, how could she understand what Su Pan’er was saying? But seeing her own mother speak to her, the baby’s little mouth also made chirpy sounds, the tiny mouth revealing two tiny front teeth.

Qin Yi frowned, he might be slow on the uptake, but he could clearly sense Su Pan’er’s perfunctoriness towards him.

Strange, this morning before the morning court session everything was fine with Pan’er, how could things change so suddenly, did something happen?

Or could it be that he was too rough with her last night, and that’s why she was angry?
