Ch 669 - 670

Chapter 669: The Joy of Autumn Harvest

When the Golden Saber guards heard the sound of horse hooves, they hurriedly dropped the corn and gathered around the princess and prince to protect them. Su Qing saw that the guards had gone to protect the children, so she stopped what she was doing and looked at the corn.

A large group of soldiers and horses came rushing over. The one at the front was Xiao Zeyu. He had changed out of his yellow robe and was dressed in coarse cloth. Behind him was the Xiao Family Army. They had also changed out of their military uniforms and wore ordinary coarse clothes. Their hands, which should have been holding machetes, were holding sickles.

“Qing’er, we’re here to fight alongside you.”

Xiao Zeyu sped up his horse, and his voice had already arrived before he reached the place.

Today, when he returned to the inner palace after morning court, he heard the eunuch who stayed behind say that the Empress had taken the palace maids, eunuchs, princess, and prince to the manor for the autumn harvest!

There were only a few eunuchs left in the vast palace. Two of the chefs in the imperial kitchen were left to cook for Xiao Zeyu, and the rest were taken away.

When Xiao Zeyu heard that Su Qing had gone to the manor for the autumn harvest, he couldn’t stay in the palace any longer. He changed into casual clothes and brought many people to work.

Today’s national event was to help the Empress harvest all the crops in the manor.

“Father.”

Yun’er saw Xiao Zeyu and came running with her short legs. The ground was covered with fallen stalks of corn. The little girl tripped and fell along the way. However, because she tripped and fell on the stalks, she did not fall but the sharp leaves of the corn cut her tiny hand.

When Xiao Qi saw her little master fall, she flew over to pick her up and brought her to Xiao Zeyu in the air. Yun’er was not afraid as she flew in the air. She giggled happily and even forgot about the injury on her hand.

“You must have hurt yourself!”

Xiao Zeyu dismounted from his horse and carried his daughter to check her palm. It had only been a morning, and Yun’er’s hand had already developed blisters.

He still remembered that he followed his adoptive father to work in the fields when he was young. It was also like this. His tender little hands were slowly ground into calloused hands. Although it was tough, it made him know early on that life was not easy.

Therefore, he agreed with Su Qing’s education method. Only by working hard could the child be stronger. Only when they knew that food was not easy to come by would they know how to cherish it.

“Father.”

Ziqi was much more cautious than his sister. He walked carefully through the stalks. Although he wasn’t as fast as his sister, he didn’t fall.

Zhang Qirui stood where he was and looked at his uncle foolishly. He was still holding the glutinous rice stick he had painstakingly broken off in his hand and was reluctant to put it down.
