The garden was then transformed into a mini-farm, and the little buns even had their own special space, where they could plant anything they wanted. Feng Tianyi had allocated the area for them to learn how to be patient and persistent in their goal.

  Tang Moyu was fine with it, as long as her children didn't have to stay out too late in the garden and were under the constant supervision of an adult.

  That morning, Li Meili and Lin Qianrou had decided to pay a visit to Peach Blossom Garden as the latter had promised and wanted to meet Tang Moyu's sweet buns. However, before they reached the garden where the children were, they had a quick talk with Tang Moyu at the main house.

  "So…" Li Meili started, "Little Star said you slept with Qin Jiran the other night."

  Tang Moyu was glad she wasn't sipping her drink when her best friend, who chose a bad timing, asked that question. She gave Li Meili a pointed stare. However, it seemed like her friend was already immune to her icy gaze; which was enough to intimidate most other people.

  "Spill! You can't possibly leave me in the dark for too long, Tang Moyu!" Li Meili insisted, while Lin Qianrou's face burned red from Li Meili's bold statement. "You haven't had a man in your bed since the little buns' father."

  "So, did he put his rod on your cylinder? How's he in bed? Still able to perform?" It was clear that she wouldn't let Tang Moyu get away without saying anything.

  "Li Meili!" The empress gritted her teeth. Only Li Meili could get off easy after infuriating her.

  "What?" Li Meili scoffed. "There's nothing wrong preheating the oven with a breadstick when you're not ready to put another bun inside!" She insisted.

  It was comical for her to see Lin Qianrou blushing beside her, considering she was the one who was currently pregnant amongst them.

  "Nothing happened, Meili. Get your mind out of the gutter, woman!" Tang Moyu rubbed her temple due to her best friend's probing questions. Surely, Li Meili always knew how to push the right buttons to tease her.

  "Anyway, we're here to see your little buns. Are they home?" Li Meili asked as she looked around the house, but there was no sign of the twins' whereabouts.

  "They are in the garden with Qin Jiran." Tang Moyu said before turning to Lin Qianrou, "Qian, Meili said you're also good at sculptures, would you mind checking the old fountain in our garden? Qin Jiran and I are planning to replace the sculptures there."

  Lin Qianrou gave her a shy smile and nodded.

  "Oh, Sister Moyu. I'm not that good, but if you really need some help, I don't mind," she said sheepishly. Tang Moyu was the second person who truly appreciated her artwork and she was grateful for it. She really wanted to do something to help the empress with the sculptures and landscape design she had mentioned earlier.

  When they went out to see the children, Lin Qianrou was surprised to see a vast garden with a small farm on one side. She could hear the twins' laughter as they competed on who could dig the soil faster and plant their seedlings while a nanny was holding the seedlings for them.

  "Xiao Bao? Little Star?" Tang Moyu called out. "Auntie Mei and Auntie Qian are here. Won't you greet them?"

  The two little buns lifted their head at the same time and ran towards their mother. They didn't dare to give her a hug because their hands still had gloves, filled with dirt, on.

  "Hi, Mommy! Where's Auntie Qian?" Little Star beamed a smile to her mother.

  For Lin Qianrou, it was love at first sight when her eyes landed on the pair of sweet little buns who spoke to Tang Moyu.

  The little girl had rosy chubby cheeks and a pair of large brown eyes that sparkled with excitement upon seeing her mother. She was wearing a light pink shirt under a denim jumper skirt with her long silky black hair tied in high pigtails on each side of her head. The ringlets at the end of her tresses were almost the same as Tang Moyu's.

  Meanwhile, the boy who appeared next to the girl was also a young heartthrob. Despite his young age, there's no doubt that Xiao Bao?would be able to win women's hearts with his cuteness alone. With the same silky black hair and smooth pale skin, Xiao Bao had a pair of obsidian eyes that reminded Lin Qianrou of a bored cat. He was also wearing a jumpsuit overall with a blue shirt underneath.

  "Hi, Little Star. Hello, Xiao Bao. I'm your Auntie Qian. Nice to meet you." Lin Qianrou introduced herself with a smile to the little buns.

  "Hey! Why are you only looking for Auntie Qian?" Li Meili crossed her arms and harrumphed at the little buns.

  Little Star giggled and grinned on her.

  "My favorite Auntie is getting jelly? That can't be!"

  Li Meili and Lin Qianrou laughed at her antics as Li Meili slightly pinched the little girl's cheek.

  "Oh? Now, you know how to placate me, huh?" She lowered herself to Little Star's level and kissed her cheek. "My Little Star has grown since I last saw you. Have you been eating well?"

  "En! Uncle Ji makes us good food everyday!" The little girl exclaimed.
