Chapter 343 was forced upon him by the Emperor.
Shi An immediately did as instructed, and Pei Yuanjun went to the morning court early in the morning.

Although he had promised Qi Yunran, he still had to attend the morning court session. He would also take the opportunity to ask for leave and see if he could bring Xiao Jingxuan out openly.

I had a simple lunch.

Qi Yunran started making mooncakes at home, pressing out the patterns with molds and preparing to steam them!
This time she made pineapple flavor, chestnut flavor, as well as several kinds of mooncakes including mixed nuts and snow skin mooncakes.

It was almost afternoon when Pei Yuanjun returned in a carriage, bringing with him Xiao Jingxuan and Master Yan.

Master Yan stepped off the carriage with a happy expression. He hadn't tasted Yun Ran's cooking since she became pregnant, but today she was cooking for him herself, so he came over.

However, as soon as they entered, several young and beautiful palace maids alighted from the carriage behind them!

Seeing Qi Yunran's astonished look, Pei Yuanjun explained, "It was a maid sent by the Emperor to serve the lady and the baby."

"Oh!"

"Godmother!"

"Xiao Xuan'er is here too, godmother is very happy!"

"Yunran, are you feeling better? Aren't you still in your postpartum period? How can you be so overworked?" Master Yan said disapprovingly. Although he missed Yunran's cooking, he didn't want her to push herself and develop any health problems during her postpartum period!
"Master, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, our first festival in the capital. I want to spend it with everyone."

"Oh, Yunran is so thoughtful. I even turned down the Emperor's invitation tonight just to save room for your cooking! And you can use these maids the Emperor bestowed upon you!"

The palace maids approached with small steps: "Greetings, Madam Prime Minister!"

Qi Yunran looked at the four beautiful women and felt a lump in her throat.

"Get up!" he said, then ignored them.
"Come in quickly, Master! I've made some delicious mooncakes!"

"Okay...okay, that sounds delicious!"

He then strode inside!

Xiao Xuan'er followed behind Master Yan!
Qi Yunran ignored Pei Yuanjun and went inside to set out the meal.

A hint of joy flashed in Pei Yuanjun's eyes. Was his wife jealous? He then instructed Shi An to summon Physician Fang as well.

She not only made mooncakes, but also meat jerky that Xiao Xuan'er likes, and meat that Master Yan likes!
I also made three vegetarian dishes that Pei Yuanjun and Doctor Fang like!
A whole table full of food!

Wait for Doctor Fang to arrive!

Master Yan said impatiently, "What a feast! Yunran, once your confinement period is over, I'm going to come to your house for meals every day!"

"Master, Doctor Fang, please sit down and let's eat! This is some good wine that Shi An got me, please have a taste!" Qi Yunran smiled but didn't say anything, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Doctor Fang immediately sat down and began to eat without any hesitation.

Pei Yuanjun looked at Qi Yunran with tender eyes, as if he had returned to the time when she cooked for him every day in Peijiawan Village!
Quietly, he sat down and ate the vegetarian dishes that Qi Yunran had prepared for him.

"Godmother, you should eat too! I'm going back later!"

"Then eat more, little Xuan'er, it won't be easy to eat your godmother's cooking when we return to the palace!"

Master Yan took a bite of the mooncake and found it too sweet. He then chose a five-nut mooncake and ate it instead!
However, Doctor Fang likes pineapple flavor.

Upon tasting it, he immediately praised, "Excellent! This is the first time I've ever tasted such a delicious mooncake."

"I'm glad you're happy, Dr. Fang. Thank you for saving me and Bao'er that day!"

"It's what I should do! Madam, there's no need for thanks!"

Xiao Xuan'er, fearing that Qi Yunran and Pei Yuanjun would be angry, immediately explained, "Those palace maids were what Godfather wanted to bring me back, but... the Emperor forced them on him! He said that if I didn't bring them back, I wouldn't be allowed to come to the Prime Minister's residence! It's all Jingxuan's fault! Godmother, please don't be angry with Godfather!"

Qi Yunran looked at Pei Yuanjun with some surprise, only to see him looking at her with a resentful expression!
It was as if he was blaming her for neglecting him.

"Godmother isn't angry, eat up!"
