Editor: Henyee Translations

The little prince licked his lips, eagerly saying, “I want to eat something delicious. Do you have any?”

Chu Qingzhi, looking at the adorable little bundle, couldn’t refuse, “Alright, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

She placed the little prince on Da Bai’s back and headed towards the workshop together.

The children in the village, seeing the noble-looking little prince, all gathered around, curiously asking, “Sister Chu Qingzhi, who is he?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “His name is Qi’er, a child of a friend of mine. His parents are currently away on business and will come to the village to find him later.”

Chu Xiaoyao was very interested in the little prince, “Qi’er, do you want to play with us?”

The little prince gestured with his small hand and then shook his head, “I’ll play with you later; I want to eat snacks first.”

Chu Xiaoyao, looking at the white and tender little prince, really wanted to play together, “Oh, then you eat first. We’ll come to find you later.”

The little prince smiled and nodded, “Hmm.”

Arriving at the workshop, Chu Qingzhi placed the little prince in the conference room and then went to get some snacks, “There’s everything here, take your time eating.”

“Sister Chu, you’re so nice.” The little prince picked up a piece of pork jerky, “This is the best.”

Chu Qingzhi patted the little prince’s head, finding the human cub really adorable, “Little foodie.”

In this relaxed atmosphere, several voices of conversation came over…

“Ruyue, I want to take time off during the New Year, is that okay?”

“I also want to take time off during the New Year.”

“Ruyue, think of something, can you help us out?”

Chu Qingzhi, listening to everyone’s conversation, understood what was going on. She stepped out, “Do you all want to take leave during New Year?”

Everyone was a bit afraid of Chu Qingzhi but still nodded, admitting it.

Shen Ruyue looked helplessly at Chu Qingzhi, if everyone took leave, they would have to halt production, she dared not agree.

Chu Qingzhi crossed her arms, thought for a while, and said, “I have a way to let everyone take leave during the New Year. Would you all be willing to cooperate?”

“As long as we can take leave and it doesn’t affect next year’s livelihood, we are willing.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Starting from today, everyone will work an extra half hour every evening. By the time of the New Year, it will roughly compensate for two days of holidays. Then, everyone can take a holiday. How about that?”

“Great, great, we are willing to work extra time in the evening.”

“Okay then.” Chu Qingzhi gently patted Shen Ruyue’s shoulder, “Ruyue, arrange it. Work extra time now, and give everyone a holiday on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year.”

Shen Ruyue nodded, “Okay.”

With Chu Qingzhi, no problem was indeed a problem.

…

In Shuiyun County.

Ning Yuting and Chu Qingyue stood at the city gate to welcome Grandfather Ning.

Hearing that Chu Qingyue was pregnant, Grandfather Ning was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night. After thinking it over for a night, he decided to come to Chu Village to spend New Year with his grandson. Now, nothing was more important than his great-grandson.

The carriage with Ning’s family emblem slowly entered the city…

The two greeted him, “Grandfather.”

Upon hearing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law’s voices, Grandfather Ning immediately got off the carriage. As soon as he steadied himself, he showed concern for Chu Qingyue, “How’s your health?”

Chu Qingyue replied, “I drank the anti-miscarriage medicine prepared by my sister, and my health is completely recovered now.”

“That’s good, that’s good. You must take good care of yourself now. You can’t afford any mishaps, understand?” Grandfather Ning was extremely happy; the whole person seemed spirited and appeared several years younger.

Chu Qingyue smiled and replied, “Yes, grandfather.”

Ning Yuting said, “Grandfather, I bought a mansion in the county. I plan to move back to the capital after Qingyue gives birth.”

Grandfather Ning paused for a moment, understanding Ning Yuting’s decision, “That’s also good. There are no elders to take care of her in the capital. Alright, grandfather won’t go back either. I’ll stay here waiting for my great-grandson to be born.”

Ning Yuting was very grateful to Grandfather Ning. No matter what he did, Grandfather Ning always supported him, “Grandfather, let’s go back. It’s cold outside.”

Grandfather Ning nodded, “Alright.”

As they were talking, Ning Yuting’s two maids, Xia Mei and Chun Li, came over, “Young master, young madam.”

“You came too?” Ning Yuting was somewhat surprised. Both maids were already married, and he didn’t expect them to come.

“We came to take care of the young madam.” Both maids were bought by Ning’s family to take care of Ning Yuting when they were children. Although they were married, they still remembered the kindness and brought their husbands along, so they were not separated.

Ning Yuting nodded, “Let’s go, we’ll talk back at home.”

The two maids bowed and replied, “Yes.”

…

On the bluestone road to Chu Village…

The emperor looked at the empress, “Yuni, are your legs tired? I can carry you…”

Empress Fan Yuni glanced at the emperor, “Have you completely let yourself go after taking off the dragon robe?” In fact, the emperor was only twenty-one years old and still had a playful heart.

The emperor pitifully said, “Since I was born, my father forced me to study this and that. Except for New Year’s, I didn’t have a day off. I ascended the throne at seventeen and have been busy cleaning up the mess left by my father every day. Now I can finally take a breath. Yuni, won’t you allow it?”

Hearing this, Fan Yuni immediately felt sorry for him, grasped the emperor’s hand, “Then, forget about your identity for these few days and have a good time.”

The emperor’s expression brightened, “Will Yuni join me in having fun?”

Fan Yuni smiled and nodded, “Yes.”

As the two talked and laughed, they came to the duty pavilion.

The emperor stepped forward and curiously asked, “Yuni, what is this?”

“I’ve also seen it for the first time…”

Chu Yi, who was on duty at the pavilion, saw the strangers and quickly came out to greet them politely, “Young master, madam, who are you looking for?”

The emperor asked straightforwardly, “Is Chu Qingzhi in this village?”

Chu Yi defended, “She is in this village, but you can’t directly call her by her name. It’s disrespectful.”

The emperor, “…”

This was a new experience!

“What should I call her then?”

Chu Yi glanced at the emperor, who seemed well-mannered, and wondered how he didn’t know this, “You should call her Miss Chu.”

“Oh——” the emperor elongated his voice and then asked, “Can you take us to Miss Chu?”

Chu Yi nodded, “Yes, follow me.”

Under Chu Yi’s guidance, they entered the village.

Now, Chu Village looked like a massive estate overall. New brick houses were everywhere, roads crisscrossed, and the sides were planted with flowers and trees. The winter sweet was in full bloom, filling the air with its chilly fragrance…

The emperor and empress exchanged glances, not expecting the village to be built like this. Chu Qingzhi really had some great ideas. If possible, they too wished to live in such a place.

“Come on, come on…”

The children’s cheering came from a distance. The couple looked over…

The village children had formed a circle and were playing cockfighting on the grass. The kids were dressed warmly and on the grass, so they weren’t afraid of falling.

The little prince was also standing among the children, with a little cloth bag hanging around his neck, looking plump and holding a peanut candy, already bitten in half.

Da Bai lay lazily to one side.

The couple, “…”
