Chapter 585: Ambition
Little Bear, who was having fun playing the treasure hunt in the palace, was naturally unwilling. Even if his father used going to the farmstead as a lure, Little Bear wasnât interested.
This made Qi Haoran gnash his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to force him to stay in the residence, Mu Yangling stopped him.
At first, Mu Yangling did not quite understand why Qi Haoran insisted on making Little Bear go home. It was only when she happened to hear Spring lament that Fourth Master treated Fourth Madam too well that she understood Qi Haoranâs intentions.
Qi Haoran had never told her about this before. Mu Yangling was so touched that she personally cooked a few of his favorite dishes for him.
Qi Haoran only ate a mouthful of braised pork before putting down his chopsticks. Sitting up straight, he looked at Mu Yangling and asked worriedly, âAh Ling, whatâs wrong?â
For Mu Yangling to cook personally, this was an unprecedented and rare event.
This made Mu Yangling feel that she didnât care enough about Qi Haoran. She said gently, âIâve been feeling suffocated recently, as though thereâs a huge rock on my body, so my temper wasnât so good previously. Donât be angry with me. Iâm fine now. If Iâm lacking in any areas in the future, just tell me. Iâll try my best to adjust.â
Qi Haoran looked at her suspiciously. âAh Ling, are you really not sick again?â
Mu Yangling quickly shook her head and promised, âIâve really recovered. Iâm in a good mood now. The gray sky has turned into a wide blue sky filled with white clouds.â
After double-checking, Qi Haoran believed her. He instantly put away his cautiousness and ordered arrogantly, âPick up a piece of braised pork for me.â
Mu Yangling quickly picked up a piece of meat for him and waited eagerly for his comments. Qi Haoran chewed and felt that her culinary skills had improved, but he still said with a pout, âItâs too inferior to Mother-in-lawâs. Itâs simply not appetizing.â
Mu Yanglingâs expression froze momentarily. She looked at the dishes on the table, then at Qi Haoran, and endured it.
Qi Haoran picked up another piece of chicken. As he ate, he critiqued, âItâs been boiled for too long. Itâs too tough and doesnât taste goodâŠâ
âThereâs too much flour and too little filling in this dish of lionâs head. I can tell that itâs not authentic the moment I eat itâŠâ
Mu Yangling raised her foot, but in the end, she quietly put it down.
As there was a table blocking him, Qi Haoran didnât see it. Hence, as he complained smugly, he swept all the dishes on the table into his stomach.
Then, he leaned back in his chair and let Mu Yangling rub his stomach, having accidentally eaten too much.
As Mu Yangling helped him rub his stomach three times, she muttered softly, âDidnât you say that it didnât taste good? Didnât you still finish all the food?â
âIt canât be helped. After all, youâre the one who prepared those dishesâ Overcome with an urge to sleep after eating, Qi Haoran said drowsily, âNo matter how bad your cooking is, I have to finish it all up. Otherwise, who will eat them?â
Mu Yanglingâs hand paused, and the anger in her heart dissipated. She leaned against him and said, âHaoran, thank you!â
Qi Haoran subconsciously nodded and fell asleep with his head tilted.
Mu Yangling got up and looked at him for a while. Then, she gently carried him to the bed and took off his clothes.
Spring, who had entered the room with hot water, was stunned. What had she just seen?
Fourth Madam carried Fourth Master in her arms, Fourth Madam carried Fourth Master in her arms. Moreover, she did so ever so gentlyâŠ
Even if she knew that Fourth Madam was strong, she could not show it like this. Spring put down the basin and decided to go out to wash her eyes.
Mu Yangling gave Qi Haoran a simple wipe before going to bed.
Qi Haoran was sound asleep at the side, but Mu Yangling could not fall asleep.
As Qi Haoranâs status increased, there would definitely be a lot of women throwing themselves at him. She could not rely on Qi Haoran to deal with this on her behalf every time. However, even if she killed one to warn a hundred others, she could not stop the fragrance emitted by Qi Haoranâs status.
If nothing unexpected happened, Qi Haoran would probably be the only King other than Qi Xiuyuanâs sons.
Qi Xiuyuanâs other sons had yet to be born, and his only son thus far was the Crown Prince, so everyone focused their attention on Qi Haoran.
Qi Haoran was loyal, but she couldnât always stay under his protection.
Mu Yangling thought that she needed an identity and ability that was enough to intimidate everyone and stop them from having designs on Qi Haoran.
Mu Yangling understood that this would be a long struggle.
The next day, when Qi Haoran woke up, he was still a tad dazed, but Mu Yangling was already ready to go out.
âWhat are you going to do so early in the morning?â Qi Haoran widened his eyes and asked when he saw that she was dressed neatly and had woken up earlier than him.
One had to know that even if Mu Yangling wasnât a slacker, she wasnât considered an early-riser. She typically got up only after Qi Haoran finished his morning practice.
Actually, Mu Yangling felt that she was already early enough. She wasnât a third-year high school student and wasnât in the army. Who could wake up at 6:30 a.m.?
Only the ancients were more eccentric and insisted on waking up at four or five in the morning. Qi Haoran was one of such people.
Probably because he was completely relieved last night, Qi Haoran slept very soundly, causing him to wake up rather late today. However, no matter how late it was, it was only about 6:30 am and the skies had just dawned outside. He could not fathom what Ah Ling was going to do at this hour.
Mu Yangling replied with a smile, âIâm going to the farmstead for a walk today. Iâll come back in the afternoon to discuss something with Zijin, and Iâll meet the stewards in the afternoon. If you have something to do today, go ahead. Donât worry about me.â
Mu Yangling had made up her mind to accomplish a great career. There were only two directions she could take. One, the military.
However, Qi Haoran was a military talent to begin with. With his talent, it was destined that he would be extraordinary. In the past few years, he had already learned everything he could from Mu Yangling. Other than his sense of direction and talent in the forest being inferior to Mu Yangling, he could completely defeat Mu Yangling in all aspects.
Therefore, Mu Yangling did not intend to stand out in this aspect.
Having such an outstanding husband also gave her a headache because her brilliance would be overshadowed. Hence, Mu Yangling planned to take another path. This was the life goal she had set from the beginning.
Development of agriculture.
Food is the first necessity of the people. When she made every farmer remember her name, she doubted there would still be people who dared to righteously say that she was not worthy of Qi Haoran.
She wanted everyone to say that Qi Haoran was not worthy of her!
No, she wanted them to say that they were a match made in heaven!
Mu Yangling was full of determination as she vowed that everything would start from today. Mu Yangling encouraged herself in her heart.
âAh Ling, are you alright?â Qi Haoran asked cautiously when he saw the change in Mu Yanglingâs expression. Perhaps Ah Ling had not recovered. Indeed, one had to take medicine when they were sick. He was still too naive.
Then, he blamed himself. Did he go overboard last night? He actually let the sick Ah Ling serve him dinner and say so many hurtful words.
Qi Haoran felt guilty, feeling that he had really let Ah Ling down. Ah Ling was indeed a rare good wife. She was actually not angry even when he complained about her when she was sick.
