Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1540: Chapter 1541: They Are Very Satisfied with Him

An Yiqing listened to his elder brother’s hum and felt even more terrified of him. From now on, his elder brother could discipline him at any time. Why be so cruel to him?

Su Yixing and An Yiyun saw An Yiqing on the verge of tears and laughed gleefully. You deserve it for being so mischievous!

An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged a glance, both satisfied with their eldest son, Su Yijing.

Among the four children, it was their eldest son who gave them the most peace of mind.

Their eldest son, though young, truly had the demeanor of an elder brother. He could keep his three younger brothers in line, and none dared to act too recklessly in front of him. Some people naturally exude authority, just like their eldest son.

Upon returning to Fenghua Palace, without the cold wind brushing his face, An Yiyun quickly became sleepy again. An Jing hurriedly had An Yiyun go to bed, and soon after, Su Yijing, Su Yixing, and An Yiqing also wanted to sleep.

The bed was still as large as when An Jing and Xiao Changyi left, but now that the children had grown, with all six family members lying on it, it felt a bit crowded. However, none of the six minded; they were even quite happy about it.

Looking at their four sleeping older children, An Jing and Xiao Changyi felt both comforted and at ease.

”Sleep.” An Jing, lying furthest inside, silently mouthed these words to Xiao Changyi, concerned about waking the children as she watched them nestled in the center.

Lying on the outermost side, Xiao Changyi saw An Jing’s lip movements and knew what she was saying. He first held An Jing’s hand before turning off the light to sleep with his wife and children.

...

While Xiao Changyi’s family of six was all asleep, the celebration feast finally ended, and everyone began leaving the banquet hall, exiting the palace.

Gong Juechen was now staying at the Meng family, but Ye Zhi refused to live there, preferring to stay at Prince Yi’s Mansion.

No, it can no longer be called Prince Yi’s Mansion; it should be called the Mansion of the King of Xiyun.

Half a month before Xiao Changyi and his family returned triumphantly to the Capital, skilled craftsmen had, under the Emperor Su Chengyu’s instruction, expanded Prince Yi’s Mansion. The plaque for the Mansion of the King of Xiyun was even ready, waiting for Xiao Changyi to be conferred the title of Parrelled King, so it could be put up.

Structure here is hierarchical, as Xiao Changyi, a prince on par with the Emperor, needed a residence comparable to the Imperial Palace. This was why Su Chengyu had Prince Yi’s Mansion expanded.

Originally, Su Chengyu planned to allocate land to build an entirely new Mansion of the King of Xiyun, both inside and out. However, due to wartime budget constraints, they couldn’t afford that, so he only extended Prince Yi’s Mansion.

At the same time, after it was constructed, a group of the Imperial Guard was sent in to ensure the safety of the Mansion of the King of Xiyun.

Now that Xiao Changyi has been granted the title of Parrelled King, and the plaque has been replaced, Prince Yi’s Mansion has naturally ceased to exist, replaced solely by the Mansion of the King of Xiyun.

With An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s permission, Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen are allowed to freely enter and exit the Mansion of the King of Xiyun.

However, on the way back to the Capital, An Jing had already agreed with Ye Zhi that she would marry from her family as her sworn sister. This was why Ye Zhi was so insistent on staying at the Mansion of the King of Xiyun.

Her relatives were in another, more modern world. For Ye Zhi, An Jing was her family, and she didn’t want to marry from a lonely inn or elsewhere.

After attending the celebratory banquet and leaving the palace, Gong Juechen offered to escort Ye Zhi back to the Mansion of the King of Xiyun.
