Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1850: Missed Opportunity

Su Chengyu continued, ”Originally, I planned to send Mu Chen. Mu Chen is my eldest son, but since Mu Chen is the Crown Prince, he has too many responsibilities and cannot leave. So I thought of sending Jing’er.”

An Jing laughed, ”In the past, only men could have multiple wives and concubines. Now that Feng Feiyan is the Emperor, she can marry many men.”

Su Chengyu also laughed, ”That’s typical for the Royal Family, to ensure the continuation of the lineage, the harem is usually large.”

An Jing said, ”I think it’s nice that you only have Wen Xian in your harem.”

Su Chengyu replied, ”It’s also thanks to Wen Xian’s good fortune. She gave me four children. Otherwise, the ministers would have raised a clamor. The Wufeng Royal Family is dwindling with each generation, or else Feng Feiyan wouldn’t have become Emperor.”

An Jing knew Su Chengyu did not mean to mock or belittle Feng Feiyan; he was merely stating a fact.

Looking at Su Yi Jing, An Jing then asked, ”Jing’er, why don’t you take a trip to Wufeng Kingdom?”

Su Yi Jing, however, refused outright, ”I’m not going.”

”Why not?” An Jing did not expect Su Yi Jing to disagree.

Su Yi Jing said expressionlessly, ”Qi child, Lin child, and Zhi child are with me now. I can’t just leave them and go to Wufeng Kingdom.”

He paused and suggested, ”Uncle, let Yi Qing go. After all, he is also a Prince, and having stayed by your side as Emperor for so long, everyone knows him. He carries enough weight, and he can achieve the goals you have in mind.”

An Yiqing thought even though he couldn’t bear to leave his precious sister, he was already planning to return to the Imperial City after she turned one hundred days old. So he laughed, ”Uncle, since my elder brother needs to look after our younger siblings and can’t go, I’ll go. It’s a great opportunity to see the sights of Wufeng and have some fun.”

Su Chengyu laughed, ”That works. We’ll head back to the Imperial City together. Then you can take people to Wufeng to attend the Empress of Wufeng’s wedding.”

”Alright.” An Yiqing agreed without objection.

...

Su Chengyu stayed with Xiao Changyi for five more days before departing with An Yiqing to return to the Imperial City.

Once in the Imperial City, they let An Yiqing rest for a few days. Then Su Chengyu appointed An Yiqing as the Envoy, sending him with gifts and company to Wufeng to congratulate the Empress of Wufeng on her marriage.

As the Envoy, An Yiqing represented all of Xiyun and the Xiyun imperial family. Naturally, he could not just indulge in eating, drinking, and playing as he did in Xiyun. Though An Yiqing restrained himself considerably, he remained quite charming and got along fairly well with Feng Feiyan.

On the first day An Yiqing arrived in the capital of Wufeng Kingdom, he was personally received by Feng Feiyan.

Two days later, Feng Feiyan’s grand wedding took place, marrying one Empress and two Consorts.

Though Wufeng Kingdom is small, the Empress of Wufeng’s wedding was held with great magnificence and grandeur.

Before assuming the throne, Feng Feiyan was not engaged. The suggestion to marry one Empress and two Consorts came from her parents, following the advice of ministers. Since she couldn’t see Xiao Yijing in this lifetime and had no intention of keeping Xiao Yijing, a farmer’s son, trapped in the Wufeng Imperial Palace, she acceded to her parents’ wishes.

Besides, marrying one or three makes no difference. It’s all the same.

However, even though she married three men, she had no intention of letting them touch her.

As the Emperor of Wufeng, if she didn’t allow it, naturally, they wouldn’t dare.

”Xiao Yijing...” Sitting in the Imperial Garden Pavilion, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, Feng Feiyan’s beautiful eyes filled with longing, she murmured his name as her hand slowly traced the peach pit on her wrist.
