PFC Chapter 425 Changes in the Eastern Lin Kingdom
Chapter 425 Changes in the Eastern Lin Kingdom
Sunlight streamed down, and the wheat awns shimmered with golden light, like stars scattered among the wheat.
In the cornfield, the thick stalks stand like soldiers, their waists laden with heavy ears of corn.
Peel back the layers of emerald green husks, and you'll find golden corn kernels arranged neatly, like sparkling pearls.
In the sweet potato field, lush green vines intertwine, resembling a giant green velvet carpet spread on the ground.
Farmers gently turn over the soil and can see large sweet potatoes emerging, emitting the unique fragrance of the soil.
The people moved through the fields, their faces beaming with happy and content smiles.
They bent down and carefully harvested the crops, their hands calloused from years of labor, yet their determination unwavering.
Children laughed and played nearby, sometimes picking up fallen ears of wheat, sometimes chasing butterflies in the field, their clear laughter echoing in the air above the fields.
The furrowed brows that were once tightly knit are now relaxed, replaced by a longing for a better life.
The joy of a bountiful harvest not only filled the granaries but also warmed the hearts of the people, becoming the most beautiful scenery on this land.
Amid the surging tide of development in the Eastern Kingdom, numerous factories sprang up in every prefecture like mushrooms after rain.
These factories are like keys, opening a door to a prosperous life for the local people.
It has profoundly changed their lives in multiple dimensions.
Three years ago, Dongfang Jin led a group of five people: Yu Ying, Yue Ying, Qing Ying, Lü Ying, and Xia Lan.
Along with Long Yi, An Ying, Long San, Long Qi, Long Jiu, and the Imperial Tutor, they accompanied Crown Prince Cang Linchuan on a journey to Donglin Kingdom.
They traveled tirelessly to every corner of the Eastern Lin Kingdom, establishing Ci'an Hall, a place for lonely elderly people and orphans.
The Ci'an Academy was built to cultivate pillars of the nation.
Thanks to their efforts, the Eastern Kingdom is gradually moving towards prosperity and ushering in a new era.
On this day, the sky was clear and the warm sun shone down.
Dongfang Jin and his entourage rode on a Ruyi Carpet, drifting leisurely down from the clouds and landing steadily in the courtyard of the Gu family in Lingwu Village.
As soon as Dongfang Jin stepped onto the ground, his gaze was fixed on his two exquisitely beautiful, four-year-old twin nephews, and he immediately felt a splitting headache.
He was suddenly lost in memories. His cousin, the Empress, was pregnant with her second child and was experiencing severe pregnancy symptoms. His cousin, the Emperor, felt sorry for his wife.
He rushed to find her, carrying the toddler who had just learned to walk.
She earnestly requested: "Cousin, your sister-in-law has been suffering from severe morning sickness these past few days and is really overwhelmed. Could you please help look after the baby for a couple of days?"
I thought it was just a short-term favor, but who could have imagined that this care would last for so many years.
Now, even the young prince is unwilling to leave.
He's been staying by her side so much that he doesn't even go home anymore. Now, even his cousin, the emperor, and his cousin's wife, the empress, want to see their son, but the little guy won't see them.
He also said that the food in the palace was not good, so his cousin, the emperor, sent the imperial tutor to accompany them and teach the crown prince.
What was even more unexpected was that her prince father secretly brought his two little brothers from his second brother's family all the way to Lingwu Village to find her.
If Gu Chenglin hadn't used the Ruyi Realm to send her a message, she wouldn't have known that her father had this side to him.
This explains why they rushed back from the Southern Qiang Kingdom overnight.
Also, my second sister-in-law, Jun Qixian, is due to give birth in another month.
Cang Nanxi, holding one grandson in each hand, watched with a broad smile as his daughter stepped off the auspicious carpet, looking utterly dejected. His smile grew even brighter.
Gu Chenglin witnessed this scene and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
My brother-in-law's family is expecting another baby, but he...
Oh, it's heartbreaking.
He could only scream in his heart: Honey, I want a baby too!
But he could only shout it in his heart.
Suffocated!
However, in his opinion, his father-in-law was probably determined to persuade his wife to have another child.
His wife was already not interested in having children, but his emperor cousin and father-in-law seemed to be in cahoots, putting pressure on her in various ways.
However, no matter how others tried to subtly persuade her, the wife remained unmoved, her will as firm as a rock.
Nowadays, this young wife has even reached the point where she avoids pregnant women from afar.
His wife was away from home for months, and she wouldn't let him come with her.
He had no words to express his suffering!
"Auntie!" A clear, crisp voice shattered the tranquility of the courtyard.
Four-year-old Cang Yanchuan was like a small cannonball, his two short legs moving rapidly back and forth.
She rushed towards Dongfang Jin in a flurry of energy and threw herself into her arms.
Dongfang Jin smiled and quickly bent down to pick him up steadily.
She affectionately poked his rosy cheek with her fingertip and teased, "Oh my, look who this is."
Could it be that our little Chuan has run away from home again with his grandpa?
As soon as he finished speaking, the second brother, Cang Yanbei, walked over with the elegant steps of a little adult, unhurried and unhurried.
His little face was stern, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes were exactly like a miniature version of his older brother, Cang Lingchen.
The little guy bowed respectfully and said in a clear voice, "Greetings, Auntie. Greetings, Big Brother."
Mother is about to give birth to a younger brother. Grandparents were worried that you wouldn't be able to make it back in time, so they specially sent us to invite you.
And also, Grandma has been talking about you for a long time; she misses Auntie so much.
His serious little face, so convincing, made Dongfang Jin burst into laughter.
Cang Linchuan walked over with the same gait as Cang Yanbei: "Greetings, Second Brother. Greetings, Third Brother."
Ignoring the young prince, Dongfang Jin gently put down the eldest son, Cang Yanchuan, and reached out to pinch Cang Yanbei's little face.
She asked with a smile, "So, your grandmother sent you, her little messenger, here?"
Cang Yanbei took a step back, stood up straight, and said seriously, "Auntie can also understand it that way."
My mother is about to give birth, so naturally she can't go to the shop.
Sister Caiwei and Sister Wenwen are so busy at the shop that they can't spare any time, so..."
At this moment, Yu Ying walked over with light steps and a smile, interrupting him.
She teased, "Oh, Xiao Bei, are you feeling sorry for your mother or your two older sisters?"
In this house, there are no princes, no crown princes, no dukes or princesses.
They could do whatever they wanted, but once they arrived in the capital, they wouldn't dare to be so unreasonable.
Cang Yanchuan held Dongfang Jin tightly with his little hands, tilted his head back, and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, Mother and Grandmother both said that you took Xia Lan away."
"If Xia Lan were still in the shop, my sisters wouldn't be so exhausted."
These innocent words from a child showed no awareness whatsoever that he had sold out his grandmother and mother.
Cang Yanbei...
He didn't know this older brother.
Ugh! This is awful!
Cang Linchuan...
Did this kid not see him?
No way, this kid is the one he's set his sights on.
It's only been half a year, and this guy has gotten fatter again.
"Xiao Chuan, have you gained weight again?"
Cang Yanchuan was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing the Crown Prince's words: "I'm not fat, I'm blessed."
My grandmother said that all the flesh on my body is a blessing.
Dongfang Jin's gaze shifted back and forth between the twins and the young prince.
Although these twins look exactly alike, their personalities are completely different.
The eldest brother, Cang Yanchuan, inherited his second brother's personality; he was lively and carefree, seemingly easygoing, but actually very thoughtful.
The second brother, Cang Yanbei, is a perfect replica of his older brother, Cang Lingchen, being both calm and opinionated.
No wonder my eldest brother is so fond of Cang Yanbei. It seems that after my second sister-in-law gives birth, the child will most likely be adopted by my eldest brother.
But isn't the way this young prince looks at Xiao Chuan a little unusual?
Alas, after Ruyi went into the palace in the space and was unsealed, she never came out again.
Therefore, she could not hear Ruyi's voice.
"Xiao Chuan, your older brother is right, it's time to lose weight. Look at Xiao Bei and your older brother, how well they've managed their figures."
Cang Yanchuan looked at his older brother and younger brother, then looked down at himself, and said with dissatisfaction, "Auntie, I'm still young. I'll lose weight when I grow up."
Dongfang Jin shook her head, suppressing a laugh. This little guy was definitely a little foodie.
Before she could speak, her father strode over with a proud expression and asked with concern, "Little Jin'er, how is it? Has the trouble over there been calmed down?"
