Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 859: Chapter 860: Having Fun?

An Jing immediately smiled, agreeing, ”Right, just like us.”

Saying this, An Jing reached out to touch his face.

Xiao Changyi let An Jing touch him for a moment before he lifted his hand, held the hand that was touching his face, and tightly grasped it in his own.

An Jing’s hand was tightly wrapped in his, and her heart felt not only calm but also warmed and sweetened. After a while, she smiled and said, ”If Jing’er and the others were lying quietly beside us right now, I would find the scenery even more beautiful and the atmosphere even better.”

Xiao Changyi immediately snorted, ”Those four little light bulbs.”

”Hahaha...” An Jing immediately laughed out loud and also sat upright, ”I mentioned light bulbs to you just once, and you remembered it? You really have a good memory.”

She had jokingly mentioned to him before that the four children were like light bulbs because he always got jealous. At that time, he didn’t understand, so she explained what light bulbs were and what it meant to say the children were like light bulbs.

Xiao Changyi also sat up and said lightly, ”I remember every word you say.”

An Jing’s face was instantly sweetened.

The two continued their sweet conversation for a while before they finally docked the bamboo raft and returned home.

Just as Xiao Changyi was using a bamboo pole to slowly edge the raft towards the riverbank, An Jing suddenly said, ”My lord, the scenery here is so beautiful, and now is the perfect time for an outing. Why don’t we invite my adoptive father and the Chengyu over to play? My adoptive father is always in the palace, so it would be good for him to get out.”

”Hmm,” Xiao Changyi had no objections.

”Then tomorrow we’ll go to the palace and invite my adoptive father and the others over to play. We’ll see when they are free to visit us. I’ll make bamboo tube rice for them to eat. I thought of it yesterday when I saw you cutting bamboo. The bamboo tube rice is cooked with fire, so we’ll set up a fire on the grass in front of the house to roast it, and the children can play nearby. Our home really has a beautiful scenery, perfect for a spring outing with birds singing and flowers fragrant,” she said.

”Hmm.”

...

The next day, An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t wait for Ning Wenxian to bring the four children back to them; they went to the palace themselves.

In the East Palace, Ning Wenxian was just preparing to send the four little ones home when she saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi arriving, which made her immediately smile and ask, ”Why have Your Highnesses come over instead of letting Wen Xian personally take Jing’er and the others back to you?”

Xiao Changyi said nothing.

An Jing smiled and said, ”We had some business at the palace, so we came by to pick up the children. Wen Xian, is Chengyu around? I want to invite you to our house for a spring outing. The scenery is really beautiful at our doorstep. You’ve been there, so you should know. But I’m not sure which day yet, I still have to go ask the Emperor. Only after the Emperor has decided can we settle on the day.”

As soon as the four children saw Xiao Changyi and An Jing, they happily surrounded them.

Ning Wenxian looked tenderly and virtuously at the four children walking up to An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s side and smiled, ”His Highness has gone to court this morning, he’s not here. Wen Xian has been to Your Highnesses’ place and knows the scenery is like a paradise on earth, absolutely enchanting. However, Wen Xian cannot make a decision for His Highness, so we’ll have to wait until he returns. After Wen Xian asks him, then we can give an answer to Your Highnesses.”

An Jing didn’t want to trouble Ning Wenxian, ”Then when Chengyu comes back from court, just ask him then.”

Subsequently, An Jing and Xiao Changyi took the four children to Jun Palace.

The Emperor of Xiyun was still at court and had not returned, so An Jing and Xiao Changyi waited in Jun Palace, while the four children played on the side.
