Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1207: Watch Us Not Torture You to Death, Haha

At this moment, Ye Zhi and An Jing were riding the same horse, with Ye Zhi sitting behind An Jing. To be precise, it was An Jing riding the horse, taking Ye Zhi with her, while Xiao Changyi was riding a horse by himself.

As soon as An Jing heard Ye Zhi’s words, she immediately turned her head and asked Xiao Changyi with a cheerful smile: ”Husband, would you get angry?”

”No.”

”Then, would you get jealous?”

”Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi suddenly burst into song: ”Cold dog food is slapped onto the face indiscriminately...”

”Hahaha,” An Jing laughed loudly, ”That’s what you get for teasing us, now watch us torment you. You single dog.”

A nearly imperceptible smile curled the corners of Xiao Changyi’s cool lips.

Ye Zhi stopped singing and complained: ”I’d like to find someone indeed, so I won’t be single anymore, but it’s not like I haven’t met the right one yet.”

”You should look for Gong Juechen. Gong Juechen would definitely be delighted to help you leave the ranks of single dogs.”

”Don’t mention him to me, that guy’s brain is definitely sick!” Ye Zhi immediately flew into a rage. ”You don’t know, the other day wasn’t I asking Qin Er to teach me horseback riding? Somehow that guy found out about this, and yesterday he cornered me, saying if I don’t let him teach me, he would poison Qin Er with something that Qin Er can’t recover from, preventing him from teaching me. Isn’t that infuriating?!”

”What was the end result then?”

”Of course I had to switch to him as my instructor! What else could I do? Let him poison Qin Er?”

An Jing felt that Ye Zhi was saying one thing but meaning another, but she didn’t call her out on it. Instead, she asked: ”When do you think you’ll be able to ride a horse?”

”I don’t know. But I aim to learn before the New Year.”

”Then let Gong Juechen teach you well.”

”If he dares not to teach well, see if I don’t beat him to death!” Who asked him to insist on teaching her!

An Jing thought to herself that Ye Zhi always claimed that she would beat him to death but never really did so.

Out loud, An Jing said nothing but smiled.

As soon as they entered the Imperial Capital, An Jing and her companions did not go elsewhere but directly returned to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Upon returning to the mansion, they discovered that someone from the palace had come; it was the eunuch who served Su Chengyu.

The eunuch, upon seeing Xiao Changyi, hurriedly approached, ”Prince, the Emperor has summoned you to enter the palace immediately.”

”For what matter?”

The eunuch hesitated, unwilling to speak.

Seeing this, An Jing immediately asked the maidservants and guards to leave.

Then the eunuch said: ”The Emperor and the Empress had a quarrel.”

After a pause, the eunuch elaborated: ”Recently, the officials have been jointly submitting petitions, wanting the Emperor to take in more ladies to fill the harem, claiming the harem should not have only the Empress. The Emperor ignored the matter. But Prime Minister Li and the others went to plead with the Empress, hoping she would persuade the Emperor and asked her to be open-minded enough to accommodate others.”

”The Emperor, upon learning of this, was very angry, saying the harem is meant to only have the Empress and it has nothing to do with her. However, the Empress, upon hearing this, was unmoved and kept urging the Emperor to take new consorts. The Emperor got angry and had a huge argument with the Empress. Now, the Emperor is not seeing anyone and is drinking in Jun Palace. I hope the Prince will rush over; I’m really worried about the Emperor’s well-being.”

An Emperor, who could have a three-palace six-courtyard filled with thousands of beauties, actually declined all of these and just wanted to be with one person—just one. Truth be told, at this moment, An Jing was somewhat moved by Su Chengyu’s actions.

And at this moment, An Jing knew even more than Su Chengyu’s feelings for Ning Wenxian were not less than Ning Wenxian’s for him.

Otherwise, how could Su Chengyu go to such lengths for Ning Wenxian.
