Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1591 - 1592: Harmony

An Jing took the initiative to speak to him, Dongfang Tianyang’s heart skipped a beat, full of joy, but he did not show it on his face. He maintained his polite demeanor befitting the Prince of Dongqing, saying, "My father values the relationship between Xiyun and Dongqing greatly, so he naturally wouldn’t randomly send one person here."

Sending their own Crown Prince as the envoy shows the sincerity of this country.

Because Dongfang Tianyang hid it too well, no one discovered his feelings towards An Jing.

An Jing herself naturally did not notice, she just smiled and said, "Dongqing has always enjoyed a good relationship with Xiyun, I hope the two countries maintain their friendship."

Su Chengyu took up a wine cup, and said to the envoys, "Those who do not deceive Xiyun, Xiyun will not deceive, wishing that Xiyun and all countries remain friendly and harmonious."

The civil and military officials, nobles, and royals of Xiyun present also raised their cups.

Xiao Changyi also picked up his wine cup.

Although An Jing raised her cup, it contained water and not wine.

Including Dongfang Tianyang, the envoys immediately picked up their own cups and said, "In harmony."

No matter whether the words of the envoys were true or false or whether they had hidden motives, on the surface, everyone appeared as if they hoped for harmonious relations between the countries.

When the words concluded, they resolutely and cheerfully drank the liquor in their cups to demonstrate their determination for harmony.

...

The celebration ceremony ended, and the next day, the envoys left the Imperial Capital, returning to their respective countries.

Dongfang Tianyang wanted to see An Jing once more before departing, but that would be too obvious and easily expose his feelings, so he did not take the risk and returned home.

...

After staying in the palace for half a month, An Jing and Xiao Changyi returned to the mansion, and the four children happened to have a break from school on that day.

Upon returning to the mansion, it was already noon, just in time for lunch.

Looking at the table full of food, An Jing didn’t have much appetite, but for the sake of the three babies in her belly, she ate some.

While eating, her eyes suddenly brightened, she looked at Xiao Changyi and said with a smile, "Husband, I want to eat the meat rolls you make, with beef in them. What do you think?"

"Sure." Xiao Changyi got up intending to go to the kitchen to make the meat rolls for An Jing.

But An Jing pulled him back, "Make them in the evening. Lunch is fine with these. When you make them, I’ll stand by and watch."

"Okay." Xiao Changyi then sat back down. He peeled another egg for An Jing.

An Jing didn’t eat anything else, she only ate the egg that Xiao Changyi peeled for her.

Seeing that An Jing had eaten quite a bit already, Xiao Changyi didn’t urge her to eat more. Eating small meals frequently is fine; in two hours, the cook in the mansion would still prepare some snacks for his wife, so he wasn’t worried she would be hungry.

The mischievous An Yiqing took the opportunity to request, "Daddy, I want to chew big bones, beef bones, you make them for me tonight."

When the other three children heard An Yiqing’s words, their eyes lit up, clearly also wanting to eat the beef bones Xiao Changyi makes.

Since he was going to the kitchen anyway, Xiao Changyi agreed to make beef bones for the children.

As the sun set, Xiao Changyi went to the kitchen to get busy, An Jing followed him inside, but Xiao Changyi didn’t let An Jing do anything at all. So, An Jing just stood to the side, smiling as she watched her husband making food for her and the children.
