Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1549: Chapter 1550: King, you probably don’t know

Seeing Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen getting along so well now, An Jing was genuinely happy for them. No matter who it was, she wished them happiness.

Exchanging a glance with Xiao Changyi, An Jing drank the steaming bone soup he scooped for her while smiling at Ye Zhi, saying, ”I thought you wouldn’t be back until evening.”

As Ye Zhi ate, she said, ”I checked the date, so I came back to eat. Later, I’ll go out again and buy the house. He and I are getting married, and we can’t keep living in someone else’s house. We need a home of our own, don’t you think?”

An Jing said, ”We have plenty of rooms here, they’re empty, so you living here wouldn’t be a problem. But if you want your own home to live your own little life, we certainly won’t force you.”

”Boss, once I move out, I’ll come visit you often,” Ye Zhi didn’t want to seem distant. But she truly wanted a home completely her own.

To be honest, ever since she’d come here, she hadn’t felt much of a sense of belonging.

She hoped to have a home of her own to give her that sense of belonging.

An Jing understood Ye Zhi’s feelings and smiled, ”I’ll come visit you often too. Since you’re in the Imperial Capital, no matter how big it is, we can still see each other regularly.”

”Mm.” Ye Zhi had no relatives here, so to her, An Jing, this comrade and boss, was like family. She wouldn’t stop seeing An Jing just because she got married.

She would continue to visit An Jing often, just as before.

After lunch, and a brief rest, Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen left to buy their marital home.

Once they bought the home, Gong Juechen took Ye Zhi back to Xiyun Mansion, and in doing so, managed to get another free dinner there.

Since Xiao Changyi had to attend morning court the next day, that night, An Jing had their four children go to bed early with them.

Generally, Xiao Changyi did not attend morning court, and when he did, it was because something was up.

Xiao Changyi, now King of Xiyun, was supposed to sit in the great hall like Su Chengyu and discuss state affairs with the ministers, and the next day, he rose early for morning court to resolve this matter.

Sitting on the King Chair beside Su Chengyu, dressed in the Xiyun royal attire, Xiao Changyi, who had not spoken the entire morning court, finally spoke calmly as it was about to end: ”The doctor says that because of the energy I’ve spent on battles, I need long-term recuperation and should avoid stress. From now on, I won’t be participating in court affairs.”

All the civil and military officials: ”...” Your Majesty, perhaps you haven’t noticed, but you seem healthier than us...

We all know you just want to go back and tend to your cabbages, don’t think we don’t know...

However, even though everyone was well aware, nobody pointed it out.

After the court ended, Su Chengyu didn’t let Xiao Changyi leave the palace immediately. Xiao Changyi knew Su Chengyu had something to say to him, so he joined him in the Imperial Study Room.

Once seated in the Imperial Study Room, Su Chengyu smiled and said, ”Brother Yi, your excuse for not wanting to handle governmental affairs is quite flimsy. They surely won’t believe it.”

Xiao Changyi replied, ”Whether they believe it or not doesn’t matter, as long as the goal is achieved.”

Su Chengyu immediately stood up, made a bow towards Xiao Changyi, looking as if he admired Xiao Changyi to the utmost.

Then he sat down again.

After a moment’s hesitation, he still asked, ”Brother Yi, I couldn’t ask before, but now it’s just you and me. Be honest with me, why has Chenglin always pretended he doesn’t know martial arts?”
