Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 823: Chapter 824: I’ll Take Good Care of You

”We were just eager to see you,” the Emperor of Xiyun said with a smile, letting go of An Yiyun’s hand and walking over to little Su Yi Jing who was sitting to the side, looking at him.

Then, with a kindly face, the Emperor of Xiyun asked, ”Jing’er, haven’t you called Grandpa yet? Don’t you remember Grandpa? I held you when you were little, and you even slept with Grandpa. Do you remember that?”

Su Yi Jing just looked blankly at the Emperor of Xiyun.

The Emperor of Xiyun didn’t get angry. Instead, he patiently continued, ”Jing’er, I always thought you looked like your dad, and now you resemble him even more. Not just in appearance, but it seems your personality is becoming more and more like his, too. Your dad always ignored Grandpa - don’t tell me you’re going to ignore Grandpa as well?”

As he spoke, the Emperor of Xiyun even put on an expression as if he were deeply hurt.

Xiao Changyi silently averted his eyes.

An Jing couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Su Yi Jing didn’t seem to understand what the Emperor of Xiyun was saying, but seeing the Emperor’s injured expression, he stood up, reached out his little hand towards the Emperor, and while tugging at the corner of the Emperor’s robe, softly called out, ”Grandpa.”

”Oh my!” The Emperor of Xiyun instantly became so joyful that he almost jumped. He quickly picked up Su Yi Jing and said with unrestrained happiness, ”My dearest grandson, Grandpa knew you would pay attention to me!”

Su Yi Jing quietly let the Emperor of Xiyun hold him, not making a fuss, obedient to a fault, and also giving off an impression of being exceedingly well-behaved.

A child giving off such an impression of steadiness made the Emperor of Xiyun happier than anyone else.

This child really did resemble his Yi Er so much!

Upon noticing that the Emperor of Xiyun had picked up little Su Yi Jing and seemed reluctant to let him go, Eunuch Fu stepped forward and said, ”Your Majesty, your well-being is of utmost importance. You haven’t been resting well these past few days, perhaps it’s best to put the Little Prince down first.”

The Emperor of Xiyun immediately retorted, ”Even if I haven’t rested well, I can still hold my dearest grandson!”

Rebuked by the Emperor, Eunuch Fu fell silent, not daring to say anything else.

An Jing, however, expressed her concern, ”Father, why haven’t you been resting well these few days?”

The Emperor of Xiyun didn’t hide the truth, ”Knowing that you would arrive in a few days, I’ve been too excited to sleep. But after tonight, I should get a good night’s rest. Oh my, my dearest grandson, I really do like you so much. How can you be so loveable?”

An Jing was quite moved by the first part of the Emperor of Xiyun’s words. The Emperor genuinely cared for them.

But when the Emperor of Xiyun continued on, clearly showing his immense affection for his eldest son, An Jing found it amusing.

How does this make my other three children feel?

With this thought, An Jing involuntarily looked down at her other three children, only to discover that at some point, Xiao Changyi had knelt down, and all three children were now nestled in his arms.

An Jing immediately smiled.

Seeing Su Yi Jing being held by the Emperor of Xiyun and noticing that Su Yixing, An Yiqing, and An Yiyun were all in the arms of their father, Xiao Changyi, he also wanted to go there.

When the Emperor of Xiyun saw that Su Yi Jing kept looking in one direction and ignoring him, he followed Su Yi Jing’s gaze, and upon seeing Xiao Changyi squatting there, cradling the three children, his reaction was one of ”...”

Changyi, are you telling me that even if I don’t show affection to Qinger and the others, it doesn’t matter because they have you, their father, to love them?

But, I do care for Qinger and the others too. It’s just that I happen to like Jing’er a bit more...

Really...

Feeling a mix of grievance and wistfulness, the Emperor of Xiyun took one last look at Xiao Changyi before quietly setting Su Yi Jing down.
