Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 813 - 761: The Grand Finale (Part 2)
His attire had beco exquisite, along with the saddle and stirrups of the horse, looking very luxurious.
Chai Eying had never seen such ornate horse decorations and realized for the first ti that her man was as beautiful as a banished immortal.
Chai Eying exclaid excitedly, "Husband, you’ve co ho! Why didn’t you notify us in advance so I could go out to et you? By the way, where’s Dad? Where are Erlang and Sanlang? And what about Yu Zhu and Yu Wen?"
"Dad has beco the Emperor and doesn’t have ti to co ho. Erlang and Sanlang are cleaning our previous Prince Mansion and can’t co back. Yu Wen is pregnant, nurturing the baby. Yu Zhu is handling so matters in the palace. Dad sent to bring you and Mom and the kids back to the Capital." Li Xingmao smiled gently, dismounted, and walked towards Chai Eying and their children.
"Dad!" The three kids cheered and ran towards Li Xingmao.
Li Xingmao smiled and spread his arms, squatting down to greet the children.
Soon, Li Xingmao was covered with his children.
Li Jing was hanging on his back, Li Yu was in his left hand, and Guoguo was in his right hand.
Li Yu was still young and hadn’t seen Li Xingmao for over a month, so he felt a bit unfamiliar. Seeing his siblings run towards Li Xingmao, he hurriedly ran over with his short legs.
Li Jing and Guoguo affectionately called out "Dad, Dad."
Li Yu stared blankly at Li Xingmao’s face for a long ti before breaking into a smile and calling out "Dad."
As he grinned, a few drops of saliva dripped from between his baby teeth.
Li Xingmao laughed and wiped his chin with his sleeve.
He smiled as he looked at each of his children, "All my good children." Covered with kids, unsure whom to kiss first.
Chai Eying was stunned, "..." What did her husband just say?
She didn’t understand a word?
Nanny Jiang was also dumbfounded, blinking and murmuring, "Em-Em-Em-Em-Em... Emperor?"
Li Jing pressed against Li Xingmao’s face, "Dad, is Grandpa really the Emperor now? So he won’t be a teacher anymore? Song Baoshun from the school still asks when he’ll co back; he wants to learn Grandpa’s slingshot technique."
Guoguo glared at him, "Stupid! Grandpa being a teacher is a waste of talent! All the other Princes in the Li Family are useless, Li Can especially, he only knows how to play, a big fool. Only our Grandpa is capable; he’s the most suitable to be Emperor."
Standing at the side, Miss Chai and Nanny Cui were totally shocked.
What’s going on?
What are they talking about?
What Emperor?
On the other side, villagers who were watching the excitent at the Liu Family also noticed the situation here and ca over to see the spectacle.
They saw Li Family’s eldest son returned, bringing a squad of guards, everyone thought they were the guards sent by the County Magistrate, didn’t find it strange.
The County Magistrate often sent his son to the Li Family, bringing a good number of guards with him, coming in and out of the village, the guards even helped Li Family with chores, everyone was used to it.
Many people greeted Li Xingmao, "Eldest son, your wife is really capable, while you were in the Capital, she took care of the kids, acted as a teacher, and even made ti to manage the lands. You ca back right in ti, your family’s cotton had a great harvest this year, while the weather is good these days, hurry up to harvest the cotton."
"And the pond in front of your house, well, it’s covered with good lotus leaves in the sumr, this year’s lotus roots must be a great harvest too."
"The fish in that pond are abundant, catching at least hundreds of pounds by netting."
"The orchard behind the house, many trees are bearing fruits, your family will have a prosperous year for sure."
People chatted enthusiastically with Li Xingmao about farming matters.
Listening to the familiar local accent, Li Xingmao felt very close, hugging his wife and children, smiling gently while chatting with everyone.
Standing outside the crowd, Miss Chai was surprised, watching Li Xingmao and Chai Eying.
She whispered, "Nanny Cui, did the old man of the Li Family beco Emperor? Is it true? Chai Eying’s husband is now the Eldest Prince? Did I hear it wrong?"
"Miss, you didn’t hear it wrong, that’s what they’re saying." Nanny Cui nodded.
"How could it be possible? This Li Family seems so ordinary, how could they be part of the Imperial Family? How could it be possible?" Miss Chai couldn’t believe it, "It must be a show putting on airs, a deception!"
Nanny Cui whispered, "Oh my, Miss, how can an Emperor be impersonated? If discovered, you’d be beheaded."
"Hmph, this poor village is far from the Capital, the Emperor wouldn’t know from so far away." Miss Chai dismissed it.
While they were whispering, another group of riders arrived on the village path.
Mounted and carrying swords, they ca with force.
Miss Chai recognized these people as the County Magistrate and Governnt Officials.
"Make way for the Eldest Prince, let idle people clear off quickly!" the leading Governnt Official shouted.
