Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 897: Chapter 898: Bamboo Dragonfly

Staring at Tobanya’s breathtakingly beautiful face for quite a while, Meng Zhuqing finally felt content, then walked back, sat down, and soon, he too leaned against the tree, closed his eyes, and slept.

When Meng Zhuqing fell asleep, the person who should have been asleep long ago opened her eyes.

Tobanya first watched Meng Zhuqing sleeping under the tree not far away for a long time, then lowered her head to look at his coat draped over her, and after a while, she closed her eyes again.

She had been carrying a deep-seated vengeance for over three years, and during these years, she was always One Person, wherever she went, she went alone, and never had company. But at this moment, there was another person by her side...

Perhaps it was because she had been alone for too long, but now that there was someone next to her, she felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

And now, she seemed to be a bit unlike herself.

...

On the sixth day of the sixth month, it was the birthday of Su Yi Jing, Su Yi Xing, An Yi Qing, and An Yiyun, the four little ones.

The four little ones turned two years old, and An Jing and Xiao Changyi originally planned to celebrate simply at home, but the Emperor of Xiyun took them into the palace.

The Emperor of Xiyun had a lavish feast prepared with delicacies from land and sea and took the four little ones to his private storeroom to choose whatever they liked as birthday gifts. They all happily made their selections.

Su Yi Jing chose a dagger sharp enough to cut through iron as if it were mud; Su Yi Xing chose the extremely rare and precious red coral tree presented to the Emperor of Xiyun by the Prince of Pingjun; An Yiqing chose a tiger pelt, and upon seeing it, he grabbed it with his little hands, and then joyfully rolled around on top of it; An Yiyun chose a set of Jade writing brushes.

In his treatment of the four little ones, the Emperor of Xiyun was truly generous.

Su Chengyu, the Crown Princess Consort, and Su Muchen also joined them for the meal, but after eating, Su Chengyu and the Crown Princess Consort left due to some matters, leaving only Su Muchen to play with the four little ones.

The four little ones were very fond of Su Muchen, and while playing with them, they took out the precious birthday gifts their father had given them for Su Muchen to see.

”Big brother, daddy... gave,” An Yiyun said in her baby voice, raising the bamboo dragonfly in her hand, ”It’s fun. Yun Er really likes it.”

The bamboo dragonfly was a toy commonly given to children in the countryside, which Su Muchen had never seen before, and naturally, he did not know how to play with it.

Seeing that Su Muchen did not know how to play, An Yiyun, in her baby voice said again, ”Big brother, let brother teach you, Brother Jing flies... flies it the best.”

With that, An Yiyun’s little hand reached to pull Su Yi Jing over to show Su Muchen how to fly the bamboo dragonfly.

Su Yi Jing said nothing, took the bamboo dragonfly in hand, his little hands rubbing it quickly, then let go, and the bamboo dragonfly flew up into the sky.

The bamboo dragonfly spun in the air for a while before it fell back down.

Su Muchen, seeing this, was very pleased. But since he was nine years old and the big brother, it wasn’t right for him to compete with the younger ones to play with the bamboo dragonfly. Moreover, the bamboo dragonfly was a birthday gift from his imperial uncle to his younger siblings, not his.

An Jing, noticing that Su Muchen also seemed to want one to play with, handed him the small wooden box she brought and smiled at Su Muchen, ”This is from your imperial uncle.”

Su Muchne, puzzled, opened the wooden box, and upon seeing a bamboo dragonfly inside, his eyes immediately lit up, then he turned to Xiao Changyi and said, ”Thank you, imperial uncle!”
