In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 979 - 984: The Empress Truly Has the Emperor’s Favor!

Chapter 979: Chapter 984: The Empress Truly Has the Emperor’s Favor!

Outside the palace hall, palace maids and eunuchs stood guard.

Director Wang also craned his neck, trying hard to listen to the movements inside.

He had seen the Empress’s expressions earlier and was anxious inside. But he was also muttering to himself that the two inside had not looked good just now, and he wondered what they were up to now, seeming to be quite intense!

The situation inside the side palace hall was indeed very... intense!

Perhaps because of the stimulation during these past few days, Su Pan’er’s actions were very bold!

And very enchanting!

For the first time in her life, she had tasted the sweetness of this affair and became even more enthusiastic about entangling with Qin Yi.

Su Pan’er’s passionate demeanour made Qin Yi ecstatic, and he tried his best to reciprocate.

When the passion subsided, both had exhausted all their strength and fell asleep in each other’s arms.

His Majesty unexpectedly spent the night by the Empress’s side again!

Disappointing those pairs of eyes that were secretly watching the Imperial Harem’s Palace!

The Empress truly was the sole recipient of His Majesty’s favor! It’s just unclear how much this favor would count for this time.

Various forces were calculating their small advantages, wondering how many people would be unable to sleep on such an ordinary night!

After that night’s heart-to-heart, Su Pan’er and Qin Yi both underwent a noticeable change in spirit.

Their affections for each other had obviously improved. Occasionally, when they looked up and caught each other’s gaze, there was perfect understanding between them.

Three days later, Qin Yi sat in the Purple Zen Hall, reviewing the memorials to the Emperor, while Su Pan’er sat in his lap, eating grapes and casually feeding them to Qin Yi.

After their reunion following a long separation, Qin Yi couldn’t bear to let Pan’er leave his sight for even a moment, but he was swamped with state affairs. Besides attending the morning court session every day for half a day, he also had a mountain of memorials to review.

Having no choice, he summoned Su Pan’er to alleviate the pangs of longing.

Su Pan’er had her own unique insights into many political affairs, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was an ancestral injunction that concubines of the Imperial Harem must not meddle in politics! Therefore, Su Pan’er generally ignored these memorials.

For instance, right now, her attention was all on the grapes in her hands.

With a beauty in his arms, Qin Yi was understandably a bit distracted. Although he held a writing brush in his hand, reviewing the memorials, his other hand, which rested on Su Pan’er’s chest, couldn’t help but play truantly.

Su Pan’er, who had already been feeling a bit sleepy, was irritated by his groping, which made her whole body itch as if tiny caterpillars were crawling over her, leaving her especially uncomfortable.

Unable to bear it, she caught that mischievous hand of his and said with gnashed teeth, "Your Majesty, this is the Purple Zen Hall, in broad daylight, with so many servants around." What on earth was he thinking?

Qin Yi waved his hand grandly, after inscribing the character "approved" on a memorial, he put down the writing brush.

A muffled laugh came from his throat as he trapped her between his arms and proceeded to misbehave, "Pan’er, have you forgotten? Back in Luoyan Village, we often declared our passion during the day. Have you forgotten now? Or do I need to help you recall?"

"You... stop talking nonsense!"

Su Pan’er blushed with embarrassment and wanted to say more but was suddenly lifted by Qin Yi’s muffled laugh and pressed onto the imperial desk. Memorials, paperweights, inkstones, and other items fell to the ground one after another with a clattering sound.

"Oh, whether I’m talking nonsense or not, the Empress has already forgotten? It seems that I need to jog your memory carefully to awaken it..."

In the midst of speaking, he kissed her again.

"No, Your Majesty, please don’t... This concubine still has a matter to ask permission for,"

Su Pan’er struggled to push him away.

"Oh?"

This was the first time Su Pan’er used the word "beg"! It was unknown what the matter was, but it unexpectedly made Su Pan’er resort to using the word "beg".

Qin Yi finally lifted his head, scrutinized her for a moment, and then sat back down where he had been: "Whatever the Empress wishes to request, just speak freely."

"It’s really nothing significant, just a very minor matter."

Su Pan’er smiled gently, lightly touching Qin Yi’s chest: "When I was rushing to make it in time, although I arrived in Shengjing, I was in such a hurry that I didn’t get to see the scenery along the way at all. The weather has been very good these past few days, so I thought of leaving the palace to visit my grandfather and, while I’m at it, to take a stroll around Shengjing once more. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The movement of her hands was exceptionally tender, yet Qin Yi’s brow furrowed upon hearing her words.

"You wish to leave the palace for a while?"

Qin Yi naturally understood Pan’er’s temperament. She would either not express any opinions at all, or once she did, she would definitely strive to fulfill them. It was better to allow her to leave under his watchful eye than to let her sneak out, so at least he wouldn’t be troubled by those concerns.

"Indeed!"

Although nervous, Su Pan’er still nodded her head.

"When would you like to leave the palace?"

Qin Yi thought for a moment: "You may leave the palace, but the outside isn’t safe. Your status now isn’t what it was before; it can’t be compared to the past. If you truly wish to go, you must agree to two conditions!"

"What conditions?"

"First, you must take with you a few guards that I will assign to you. If you don’t take them, how could I be at ease?"

She had already anticipated this condition, and without even a twitch of her eyebrow, she agreed.

Shaking off those guards would be easy for her, but thinking of Qin Yi’s concern, she convinced herself to agree.

"Additionally, there’s another matter."

Qin Yi’s agreement to let Su Pan’er go out was also related to this matter: "Qin Hong will enter the palace in three days to attend the Banquet at the Palace. Prepare yourself as well, and accompany me then. After this matter is settled, once Qin Hong has safely left Shengjing, you may leave the palace."

The last time Pan’er came to the capital, she encountered danger in Huainan Prefecture. Had she not returned safely, he would have mobilized the nation’s resources to flatten Huainan Prefecture in vengeance for his Pan’er!

Now, as soon as Qin Hong appeared in the Imperial Palace, numerous prying eyes immediately turned towards him.

Qin Hong?

"Qin Hong is still in Shengjing, hasn’t he gone back already?"

Su Pan’er was a bit surprised, but she agreed: "All right, I will prepare carefully. I just don’t know, on that day, besides us, which officials will be accompanying us?"

As for her, there wasn’t much to prepare. Qin Hong’s meeting with Qin Yi in the palace was mostly likely for discussing official business. It was just unknown what Qin Hong was really thinking.

Three days later, the clean and incorruptible Qin Hong indeed came to the palace!

Time is a butcher’s knife; the man who had once been unrivaled in beauty and was shrewd in calculations was now kneeling before Qin Yi, bowing his noble head.

On this side, aside from Qin Yi and Su Pan’er, there were officials of various ranks present as well.
