Ye Shu took a step back without saying a word.

He was too naive. He thought that after all these days of being in love with each other, even a dog like the Emperor would learn to be more humane.

But it turned out that this man was more like a dog than he thought.

Jin Wang seemed oblivious to his reaction and walked forward to open the brocade box.

The dazzling array of small toys blinded Ye Shu's eyes.

Jin Wang looked up at Ye Shu, who had almost retreated to the wall. "What are you hiding for? Come here."

"Didn't you throw this thing away?!" Ye Shu said angrily.

"I did throw it away."

Jin Wang restrained the smile in his eyes and explained slowly, "But I thought that since this is a gift from the Second Prince of Great Yan, in order to express the friendship between our two nations, it cannot be so carelessly wasted."

Ye Shu: "..."

To hell with your friendship.

Jin Wang unhurriedly took out a few jade bottles at the top, and then he picked up a few items of various shapes and sizes, and he played with and selected them in his hands.

Ye Shu pressed his body against the wall and said pitifully, "Your Majesty..."

Jin Wang said carelessly, "What?"

Ye Shu said softly, "You... are you really going to use these on me?"

As he said this, Jin Wang took out a jade object that was as thick as a woman's forearm from the brocade box.

The jade was transparent and had a bumpy surface with a coiling dragon pattern engraved on it.

Ye Shu's legs went soft as he looked at it.

Jin Wang held back his laughter and deliberately shook the jade in his hands. "Can't stand it?"

Ye Shu quickly shook his head.

He thought for a moment, then put the jade back into the box and took out a small, thin object.

This object was similar to a silver hairpin in length and thickness. It was hollow and had a small silver ball sealed at one end.

Jin Wang fiddled with the small ball with his finger and deliberately pulled it out slowly, as if he was studying how to use it.

Ye Shu's cheeks were burning. "Jin Wang!"

"Hmm?"

"I don't want this …" Ye Shu felt aggrieved. "Don't use these …"

Jin Wang sighed, "I really don't know what to do with you."

He put the things in his hands back into the box, got up and walked to Ye Shu's side. He lowered his eyes and looked at him. "You don't want this or that. What do you want?"

Ye Shu held his hand. "I want you."

Jin Wang couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Sweet mouth."

However, his tone changed again. "But a few sweet words can't make up for the punishment."

"How about this? Since Ye Xiang is pregnant, I'll give you a chance," Jin Wang said. "You can pick three things from the pile."

Ye Shu said, "But …"

Jin Wang said calmly, "If you can't pick one within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then I will do it according to my own preferences."

After saying that, he turned around and left the warm room.

Dog!

Emperor!

Emperor!

Ye Shu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Jin Wang didn't care how this person was cursing him in his heart. He leisurely returned to the dragon throne and even began to write without moving.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed quickly. Ye Shu stepped out of the warm room at the last moment.

Jin Wang put down his brush. "You've chosen?"

Ye Shu's face was still burning hot. He put his hands behind his back and answered vaguely.

Jin Wang said, "Let me take a look."

Ye Shu didn't move. "I've already agreed to your request. Shouldn't you release Xiao Huan now?"

Jin Wang smiled.

He unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and pushed it in front of Ye Shu.

"The war with Western Xia is imminent. I wish to appoint the Left General as the General of Agile Cavalry and command the three armies.

The army just so happens to be lacking a deputy general, so I'll let Xiao Huan go, "Jin Wang said.

Ye Shu's eyes flickered. "You want him to go to the border …"

"What, does your heart ache for him?"

Jin Wang raised his eyebrows. "Xiao Huan is the only son of the Lord Protector. He has been learning the art of war and martial arts since he was young. He will have this day sooner or later.

What's more, his father has already made it clear to me that he wants to go to the border to gain more experience. "

"But …"

Jin Wang said, "Xiao Huan barged into the Prime Minister's residence at night and met with my sweetheart in private. I didn't punish him and instead gave him a military rank. Is Ye Xiang still not satisfied?"

Although he couldn't return to his fief, Jin Wang's actions were indeed a promotion for Xiao Huan, not a punishment.

Ye Shu said in a small voice, "Then let's listen to Your Majesty …"

"Then why haven't you taken out the things yet?" Jin Wang said. "Whether or not this imperial edict can reach Xiao Huan's hands will depend on Ye Xiang's performance."

Ye Shu's ears burned. He put the things in his hands on the table.

A piece of warm jade, a piece of red silk, and a golden bell.

The warm jade was only the size of a pinky finger. It was used for the first time to make love and to clear the passageway. As for the red silk and the golden bell, they were only used as decorations to liven things up.

Jin Wang stared at them for a moment, then chuckled. "You really know how to choose."

Ye Shu acted as if he was facing a great enemy. "You said to let me choose myself. You can't go back on your word!"

"I won't go back on my word."

Jin Wang pulled him closer and kissed Ye Shu intimately on the lips. "As long as you don't regret it later."

As soon as Jin Wang said this, Ye Shu immediately retreated.

Yu Yan's treasure chest contained many different types of toys. Ye Shu had never seen some of them before and didn't know what they were used for.

These were the toys that Ye Shu could accept the most out of all the toys.

These toys were so gentle. They should … probably … maybe … not be bullied too badly.

However, Ye Shu still underestimated the dog emperor's methods.

The temperature in the imperial study was just right. The current Prime Minister was pushed to sit on the dragon throne. His upper body was still dressed neatly, but the hem of his complicated robe was already disheveled, revealing two white calves.

Ye Shu's eyes were covered by a piece of red silk. His cheeks were bright red, and his lips were trembling slightly.

Jin Wang's voice suddenly came from beside him. "A Shu, be good. Let go of each other a little more."

His entire body trembled, and he immediately heard the crisp sound of a bell in his ears.

A golden bell was tied to his slender ankle.

"Why are you moving around so much? It's so noisy that I can't even read the memorials."

Jin Wang put down the warm jade, then lifted Ye Shu's leg and placed it on the armrest of the dragon throne. He pulled him into his embrace. "In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, every time the bell rings, I will read one more memorial."

Jin Wang lowered his head and kissed his forehead. "Ye Xiang, you have to hold on."

The two of them fooled around in the imperial study for an entire afternoon.

Soon, it was time for dinner. Gao Jin received permission and personally brought the food into the room.

The dragon throne in front of the imperial study was already in a mess. Ye Xiang's court robes and boots were carelessly thrown to the ground. It was obvious that the battle had been fierce.

Her Majesty and Ye Xiang were not in the hall.

Gao Jin put down the food and boldly looked into the warm room. Through the layers of gauze, he could faintly see two figures nestled on a small bed.

The figures in the gauze moved slightly. Suddenly, there was a low sobbing sound.

Gao Jin's face turned red. He didn't dare to look again and hurriedly retreated.

Inside the warm room, Jin Wang hugged the person in his arms tightly and chuckled. "Why are you so nervous?

They've already left. "

The latter couldn't take it anymore. She leaned against Jin Wang's body and said in a trembling voice, "Get … get out …"

Jin Wang didn't move. He kissed the corner of Ye Shu's lips. "My beloved official is so passionate. I feel that my beloved official doesn't want me to leave."

"I didn't …"

"Why didn't you listen to the summons last night?" Jin Wang suddenly asked.

He brought up the past again.

If it weren't for this matter, he wouldn't have been bullied by this person.

Ye Shu felt extremely wronged. He said in a small voice, "I really didn't do it to see Xiao Huan …"

"I know." Jin Wang said, "When I went, I just happened to see him enter the room."

Ye Shu raised his head. "Then why did you —"

Jin Wang met his gaze. A trace of craftiness flashed through his eyes.

Ye Shu looked away. "You're bullying me."

"How could that be?" Jin Wang tightened his grip on Ye Shu's waist and said with a smile, "Gu Mingming is just fulfilling his sweetheart's wishes."

He understood Ye Shu's body even better than this person himself.

None of Ye Shu's reactions could escape Jin Wang's eyes.

Before he went to the Prime Minister's residence yesterday, he really didn't know why Ye Shu didn't listen to the summons.

But after he bullied him last night, he immediately understood the reason.

He wanted it, but didn't dare to tell him directly. He could only use this method to avoid him.

He still needed to be taught a lesson.

As Jin Wang thought of this, he turned around with Ye Shu in his arms and concentrated on teaching him a lesson.

After a while, Jin Wang hugged Ye Shu and laid back down on the small couch. He asked in a low voice, "When did it start?"

Ye Shu was still feeling comfortable and tired. Even his fingers felt weak. "It … it was just these past few days …"

Jin Wang asked again, "Are you still going to hide it from me in the future?"

Ye Shu was taught a lesson by him. He obediently replied, "No, I don't dare anymore …"

Jin Wang smiled in satisfaction and hugged him even tighter.

The room was silent. The setting sun filled the main hall.

Ye Shu leaned into Jin Wang's arms and enjoyed a rare moment of warmth. His heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction.

Suddenly, Jin Wang whispered into his ear, "You still haven't answered the question Xiao Huan asked you last night."

Ye Shu was stunned.

"Ye Shu -gege, do you have someone you like?"

Jin Wang's smile faded. He looked at Ye Shu and asked softly, "Is it Jin Wang?"
