Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 722: Chapter 723 Favoritism_1

The Emperor of Xiyun also stopped eating and just kept staring at Xiao Changyi with a look full of yearning and grievance.

Xiao Changyi acted as if he didn’t notice.

An Jing waited for quite a while and, seeing that the Emperor of Xiyun still wasn’t eating and just kept looking at her husband, she felt both amused and helpless. Nonetheless, she eventually spoke up, ”Father-in-law, please eat first. After you have finished your meal, you can hold Jing’er.”

”Yes, yes, yes.” The Emperor of Xiyun immediately became cheerful again, picked up his chopsticks, and started wolfing down his rice as if to say he wanted to quickly finish eating and hold Jing’er.

Xiao Changyi, catching the Emperor of Xiyun’s focus on just gobbling down rice without touching the dishes, uncharacteristically pushed some vegetables toward him.

The Emperor of Xiyun was initially stunned, then happily began picking up the vegetables to eat.

Seeing the Emperor of Xiyun eating the meal without restraint, Xiao Changyi finally spoke out, ”Eat less.”

An Jing pressed back a laugh inside. She knew her husband cared about his father-in-law, which is why she hadn’t said anything until now, waiting for her husband to intervene.

However, now that her husband had spoken, she immediately chimed in, ”Indeed, father-in-law, eating too much can make you uncomfortable. Eat less now, and if you get hungry late at night, you can call me, and I’ll make you some supper.”

The Emperor of Xiyun looked regretfully at the table full of dishes, which were personally prepared by his son Changyi.

But considering that he truly would feel uncomfortable if he ate too much and also that both his son Changyi and daughter-in-law were so caring, he finally said with a smile, ”That sounds good.”

After taking a few more bites and feeling satisfied, the Emperor of Xiyun put down his bowl and chopsticks, then scampered over to Xiao Changyi’s side, eager to hold Su Yi Jing, the little fellow.

An Jing: ”...” Why do I feel like you’ve just put down my elder boy...

Among the four children, it was her eldest son who was the most composed and the least lively, not as endearing as the other three. If her eldest son didn’t resemble her husband so strikingly, she was sure that the Emperor of Xiyun would not favor her eldest son as much.

”Yi Er...” As Xiao Changyi was feeding Su Yi Jing rice paste, the Emperor of Xiyun didn’t dare to forcibly take Su Yi Jing out of his seat, but stood rubbing his hands, looking at Xiao Changyi with an old face full of anticipation.

Xiao Changyi’s mouth twitched. He had thought that the Emperor of Xiyun liked all four of his children equally.

However, the truth was although the Emperor of Xiyun indeed loved all four of his children, he particularly adored Changyi’s eldest son.

And because he was particularly fond of the eldest son, both Changyi and his wife felt that the Emperor of Xiyun wasn’t as fond of the other three children...

Xiao Changyi looked expressionlessly at his other three children and then glanced at the Emperor’s eagerly expectant old face. He understood why the Emperor was so fond of his eldest son and, in the end, decided not to dwell on the matter any longer.

Xiao Changyi simply stated, ”You hold him while I feed him.”

The moment the Emperor of Xiyun heard that Xiao Changyi allowed him to hold the child, he immediately became exuberant, picked Su Yi Jing up from his seat, and then sat down on the long bench next to Xiao Changyi with Su Yi Jing in his arms.

The Emperor of Xiyun cheerfully said, ”My dear grandson, you really look so much like your father, I just grow fonder of you the more I see you.”

An Jing: ”...” What about my second, third, and fourth sons? I really feel for you; you are just as much your father’s children, but just because you don’t resemble him as closely, your honorary grandfather just...

Xiao Changyi, however, didn’t even glance at the Emperor’s wrinkle-filled smiling face, continuing to feed Su Yi Jing the rice paste.
