After the full-month feast for the four little ones, Li Wuyu and the others stayed for a while before each returning to their own places.
An Jing’s body had not yet fully recovered. Today, from the moment she got up, she hadn’t stayed in bed again. Before Li Wuyu and the others had left, seeing that the full-month feast was over, Xiao Changyi very strongly insisted that An Jing lie down on the bed to rest for a while.
All four children were also carried by Xiao Changyi into the inner chamber’s rocking cradle to sleep.
"My dear husband, you should lie down too," An Jing gently patted the empty space beside her, inviting Xiao Changyi to lie down next to her and rest as well.
Xiao Changyi wasn’t tired at all, but since An Jing requested it, and the children were all asleep, not needing his attention, he took off his shoes and outer clothes and lay down beside her.
As soon as he lay down, An Jing burrowed into his embrace, and he naturally held her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"My dear husband, you were domineering again today." An Jing lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes brimming with laughter, her tone clearly teasing.
Xiao Changyi didn’t feel embarrassed at all, on the contrary, he felt it was only natural: "I am doing it for your own good."
For the good of her health.
Right now, he was only worried about two things: one was to fully nurse her health back, and the other was to heal their young son’s congenital deficiency.
Still smiling, An Jing said, "Seeing that you are doing this for my own good, I won’t hold your domineering ways against you."
Xiao Changyi lowered his head to gaze deeply into her eyes.
An Jing laughed heartily for a while before slowly climbing up a bit and then, kissing Xiao Changyi on the lips.
The couple already had children, but their days were still sweet and honeyed, and An Jing truly felt life was too wonderful.
The only blemish was the health of their youngest son.
However, Meng Lanqing had already set out for the South Shen region to find Gong Juechen, and all she and her husband could do was to wait, hoping that Meng Lanqing would find Gong Juechen soon.
Were it not for their children being too young and unsuitable for long journeys, she would’ve wanted to go with her husband to Nan Shen to personally seek out Gong Juechen, the Stubborn Doctor, to see if he could cure their young son.
After their kiss, An Jing obediently snuggled into Xiao Changyi’s embrace, held by him.
Just as she closed her eyes, intending to really sleep for a while, another thought came to her mind, which made her immediately open her eyes again and look up at Xiao Changyi, saying, "My dear husband, the government should be almost ready to announce my conferment as the Farmer Official of Qilin County, right?"
The Emperor of Xiyun had mentioned this in a letter earlier, and they naturally knew about it, but it takes time for the government to relay the message down to them. And considering the time, it should be happening soon.
"Yes, it should be any day now," Xiao Changyi replied softly. After a pause, he grumbled, "It’d be better if they didn’t come at all."
An Jing immediately burst into laughter, "I was looking forward to bringing you and the children to give my colleagues a bit of a shock when the time comes. Don’t you even think about them not coming. If they really don’t, where will I find such good entertainment?"
A woman serving as an official—here, it was completely the biggest joke in the world. Even if she did nothing but stand in front of her male colleagues, the expressions on their faces would surely be extremely amusing.
Xiao Changyi, knowing that An Jing’s original world valued gender equality, naturally understood that An Jing must really dislike the male chauvinism here. No wonder she had this kind of desire to shock others. His previous comment was merely out of dissatisfaction with Su Chengyu.
To think he received no notification at all, and yet Su Chengyu had the nerve to request an official title for his wife, An Jing!
