Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1270: Be good, close your eyes

After the bath, Xiao Changyi asked An Jing to go to sleep.

An Jing obediently lay down on the bed.

Xiao Changyi sat on the edge of the bed. Instead of covering her with the blanket right away, he asked, ”Do you want a massage?”

An Jing shook her head and said, ”I guess I’m used to it now. I’m just a bit tired, but my body doesn’t really hurt.”

Only then did Xiao Changyi pull over the blanket, tuck An Jing in, and after leaning over and exchanging a kiss with her, he whispered, ”Close your eyes, go to sleep.”

However, An Jing didn’t immediately close her eyes but instead smilingly called out to Xiao Changyi, ”My husband.”

”Hmm?”

”I love you.”

”I love you too.” He paused for a moment, ”Be good, close your eyes.” She was truly exhausted today.

”Mhm.” An Jing finally closed her eyes, a smile still on her face, filled with sweetness.

After a while, she opened her eyes again, looking at Xiao Changyi with joy.

Xiao Changyi felt both amusement and affection at his wife’s cuteness, ”Are you trying to make me stay away from the palace?”

”It’s not that I don’t want you to go. The children are there, and I am at ease when you are with them. It’s just... I wanted to see you again before sleeping.”

”Have you taken a good look now?”

”Yes.” An Jing responded sweetly with a smile to Xiao Changyi before closing her eyes again. This time, she did not open them again.

Before long, she fell asleep due to the exhaustion.

Seeing An Jing fall asleep so quickly, Xiao Changyi felt a pang of heartache. Gently holding An Jing’s hand and looking at her pale face for a while, he finally lowered his gaze, released her hand gently back under the blanket, and tucked her in a bit more before he stood up.

He had planned to leave just like that, but as he started to step away, he turned back, bent down, and gently placed a kiss on his wife’s forehead, and then he turned out the light and left the tent.

Once outside the women’s military camp, Xiao Changyi rode back to the Imperial Capital.

The city gates of the Imperial Capital had actually already been closed, but who is Xiao Changyi? As soon as the General guarding the city saw Xiao Changyi, he had the gates opened to let him enter the city.

Imperial Palace.

Before Xiao Changyi even reached Fenghua Palace, he could already hear the heartbreaking cries of his four little ones from afar, his heart tightened, and he hurried to Fenghua Palace.

Upon entering Fenghua Palace, Xiao Changyi saw the four little ones sitting on the steps crying, while Su Haoyu couldn’t console them no matter how he tried on the side.

”Why are you crying?” Xiao Changyi asked, striding towards the four little ones.

”Daddy!” As soon as the four children saw Xiao Changyi, they immediately stopped sitting on the steps, stood up quickly, and ran towards him with short little steps. As soon as they reached Xiao Changyi, they hugged him tightly.

Xiao Changyi bent down gracefully to take the children into his arms. They were still crying, but not as loudly as before, their small bodies trembling slightly from the crying.

Before the children could answer, Su Haoyu said, ”Yi Er, you’re finally back. They sat here waiting since it got dark, and started crying, afraid that you and Jingjing didn’t want them anymore, and no matter how I tried, I couldn’t soothe them. Sigh.”

Seeing Xiao Changyi return, Su Haoyu felt relieved and at the same time, quite drained.

Too many children are indeed hard to manage.

Fortunately, he was no longer the Emperor and didn’t have to deal with state affairs, otherwise, he couldn’t have managed.

Hearing what Su Haoyu said, Xiao Changyi finally understood why his four children were crying like this.
