Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Chapter 1712 - 1719: Juhua’s Arranged Marriage (1)

At mealtime, Mu Zhongqing originally planned to set a separate table for Nangong Yi and Cai Wei, but Nangong Yi refused. According to him, they were one family, so why bother with hierarchy and seniority? Wouldn’t it be more lively for everyone to eat together?

So, the whole family sat at one table, with five or six children alone. Although it was a bit crowded, it was extremely lively, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After sitting down, Nangong Yi diligently fulfilled his duties as a dad, taking care of several children during the meal. It was clear that he often did such things because he fed the children with the fluidity of flowing clouds and water, showing his practiced skill.

Mr. Mu Zhongqing and his wife were extremely satisfied with this imperial son-in-law. Although he was the most noble man in the Great Jin Nation, he was able to put aside his emperor’s stature, disregarding the eyes of others, and helped their daughter take care of the children without ever shifting the responsibility to servants. It was evident how deeply he loved the children and their daughter!

Fei’er was very happy to see her older sister and brother-in-law being so loving and harmonious. Her sister and brother-in-law had been married for more than three years, and they were still as loving as ever, which was so touching!

Feeling moved, she couldn’t help but glance at her own husband. Sensing her gaze, Mo Ziqi looked back at her with a hint of warning in his eyes, as if saying, "Don’t envy other men, be careful, or I’ll deal with you when we get home!"

They had been married for two years, and through these years of being together daily, they could completely understand each other’s expressions and movements.

Seeing his unsympathetic appearance, Fei’er shrugged her shoulders and quickly lowered her head, secretly blaming herself. She really shouldn’t have lost her composure due to excitement and shouldn’t have let him notice that she envied other men. The emperor was so good to her sister and children; he could do the same, she was firmly convinced, it’s just that they didn’t have children yet.

He is excellent in everything, but his possessiveness is too strong. He doesn’t like it when she looks at any other man a second too long. Now that he has noticed her envy of other men, she’ll surely face some consequences when they get home tonight.

Ah, it’s really your own fault...

Seeing her dodging cat-and-mouse look, the corners of Mo Ziqi’s mouth carried a hint of a smile. Isn’t she envious of how well other men treat their wives and children? Very well, tonight he would go home and work hard, striving to prove by the end of the year that he too could be so good to his wife and children.

After the new year, she’ll be fourteen years old, and finally, some things could be done. When the emperor married the empress, wasn’t she also just fourteen?

Thinking about this, he began to look forward, he had waited for her for so long, he could hardly wait anymore, fortunately, she was finally growing up...

Tonight would surely be a sleepless night...

...

Fei’er didn’t dare to look at her husband’s face anymore, nor dared to glance at her imperial brother-in-law but instead directed her gaze towards the children. The children were already able to hold spoons by themselves to eat, but they needed help picking out the bones when eating fish. They all loved eating fish and had large appetites; therefore, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi were almost too busy to eat themselves, concentrating only on picking bones and serving vegetables for them.

Today’s dishes were made with ingredients that Cai Wei had brought back, all of which were produced from the space—pure natural, pollution-free green food. When two of the steamed phoenix golden-scaled fish were placed on the table, Mr. and Mrs. Mu Zhongqing almost had their eyeballs fall to the ground.

The phoenix golden-scaled fish had recently become an ornamental fish in the capital. They say it was the Qing Luo Kingdom’s princess who gave them to her parents as a pious offering, having gone through thousands of hardships and traveled over mountains to bring them from the Qing Luo Kingdom. Altogether, only ten were sent, four died on the way, and the remaining six were treasured like gems by the Marquis of Jian’an and his wife, kept in their mansion.
