Ye Shu didn't even think about it.

It should be said that he never thought that Jin Wang would have such thoughts.

Actually, Ye Shu didn't really care about these things. It didn't matter if he was the Prime Minister or the Imperial Concubine, as long as he could be with this person, it was enough.

But Jin Wang clearly didn't think so.

No wonder this person kept asking him about how couples in modern society got along.

He had always done his best to give him enough respect and love.

Ye Shu remained silent. Jin Wang leaned over and asked, "Are you touched?"

"…" Ye Shu looked away, "No, no. You say it so nicely. If you just wanted to let others know that you love me, why did you have to write it so … so …"

Mushy.

Too mushy.

"I still have a lot of things that I haven't written yet."

Jin Wang smiled and said seriously, "Every word in it comes from the bottom of my heart. There's no falsehood in it."

Ye Shu's ears turned red and he turned his head to ignore him.

Jin Wang's voice came from behind him, "Prince and Ye have been friends for many years. Although we have deep feelings for each other, Prince's heart is as deep as the sea. You don't care about personal relationships …"

Ye Shu, "…"

Jin Wang held the copy of the imperial edict and read it unhurriedly, "… Prince has poured in all my effort, but in the end, I didn't even spare you a glance …"

"Stop reading it!" Ye Shu snatched the edict away. His face was so hot that it was almost burning.

Jin Wang smiled and leaned over to kiss Ye Shu's lips, "But Prince doesn't regret it."

His hand slid down Ye Shu's cheek and lifted his head so that Ye Shu could look directly at him.

Jin Wang's smile carried a hint of banter, but his tone was serious and clear. Every word seemed to pound on Ye Shu's heart.

"… Prince likes him. As always, I have no regrets in this life."

.

Jin Wang's "love letter" was written with such sincerity that it made one feel emotional and couldn't help but shed tears.

It turned out that there was indeed love between His Majesty and Ye Xiang, but it was only one-sided love.

After that, the arguments in the Imperial Court suddenly stopped.

Not only that, but the story of Jin Wang and Ye Shu spread throughout the streets overnight.

There were also many street storytellers that appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Even the Ye Residence had more guests than usual. They were all here to speak up for Jin Wang, hoping that Ye Xiang would accept Her Majesty as soon as possible and that the lovers would be able to get married.

In the end, they were all dismissed by Ye Shu, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At Yu Jinwang's side.

After a certain person's flirtatious behavior, he gave up and never mentioned this matter again.

However, the gossip about the two of them did not stop. Instead, it became more and more intense.

There was no other reason. Jin Wang had been sticking to Ye Shu more and more openly recently.

"… If there is nothing else, then court is dismissed. Ye Xiang, stay." The young emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at Ye Shu from afar.

Feeling the mocking gazes around him, Ye Shu's ears burned. He wished that he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.

However, Jin Wang was still looking at him without blinking. There was even a hint of pure nervousness and hope in his eyes.

Again. Beginning. Again.

This person had become more and more brazen recently. Every day, after court was dismissed, he would ask Ye Shu to stay alone.

As for why he would stay … Ye Shu didn't want to think about it at all.

Ye Shu met Jin Wang's gaze and calmly said, "This subject has made an appointment with several officials from the Hanlin Academy to discuss the matter of marking the scrolls."

Marking the scrolls was proper business. His Majesty had to see the big picture.

Jin Wang said, "That's what you said yesterday."

He was even acting coquettishly now.

Ye Shu wanted to reply again, but he heard Jin Wang call out calmly, "Official Cheng, what exactly is the matter that you Hanlin Academy officials can't make up your minds and insist on discussing it with Ye Xiang?"

The Hanlin Academy officials who were called out instantly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "No, it's nothing important. It was already properly handled yesterday."

"That's good." Jin Wang smiled. "Ye Xiang's body is not in good condition. It's not good for him to overwork himself. Do you all understand?"

All the officials replied, "Yes."

Ye Shu: "…"

All the officials were afraid that they would get into trouble. After the head chamberlain announced that court was dismissed, they all hurriedly slipped away.

Only after escaping from the Hall of Supreme Harmony did everyone reveal a secretive smile.

Ever since His Majesty had expressed his feelings for her in the imperial edict, not only did the relationship between those two not drift apart, it actually became more and more ambiguous.

In front of all the officials, they exchanged flirtatious glances and bantered flirtatiously. It made everyone's teeth ache.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty was not far from getting what he wanted.

The palace doors slowly closed behind Ye Shu. Ye Shu sighed and walked towards Jin Wang.

"I already told you, you can just leave the grading of the papers to someone else." Jin Wang took advantage of the situation and pulled Ye Shu over to sit on the dragon throne. "Are you tired?"

Ye Shu replied, "No."

It was already early spring. In the entire imperial court, only Ye Shu was still wearing a loose robe. Coupled with his slender figure, it was impossible to tell that he was five months pregnant.

Ever since Ye Shu had been reinstated, Jin Wang had reduced the time of the imperial court meetings to less than the time it took for a stick of incense to burn out. If the time was slightly longer, he would give Ye Shu a seat and serve him tea. He was afraid that Ye Shu would tire himself out.

He couldn't even bear to order Ye Shu around, so how could he let those old fellows from Hanlin Academy call him for meetings every day?

Jin Wang helped Ye Shu massage his shoulders and suddenly said, "Do you want to see those kittens of yours?"

Ye Shu was startled.

He was talking about the kittens that Ye Shu had picked up from the back door of the Ye residence. They hadn't taken them with them when they returned to the palace and had been raising them in the temporary residence.

Compared to the dreary depths of the palace, the temporary residence with its beautiful scenery was naturally more suitable for the kittens to live in.

"When we finish the matters at hand, let's go live in the temporary residence for a few months."

Jin Wang's palm landed on Ye Shu's lower abdomen. He said softly, "We can't always let you tire yourself out. The kittens will get angry."

Ye Shu was just about to say that he wasn't tired, but when he met Jin Wang's gaze, he changed his words. "Okay."

There were many people in the capital and many eyes were watching. It was very inconvenient to interact with each other.

He wanted to spend time alone with Jin Wang.

He really wanted to.

And he understood that Jin Wang felt the same way.

Ye Shu's heart trembled slightly. His gaze towards Jin Wang also softened.

Jin Wang chuckled. "Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

Ye Shu looked away. "No."

Jin Wang didn't say anything.

He placed one hand on the armrest of the dragon throne and the other on Ye Shu's back. He suddenly asked, "How does it feel to sit here?"

Ye Shu was startled.

It wasn't his first time sitting here.

From the high platform above the dragon throne, he could clearly see every corner of the Taihe Palace.

If the palace doors weren't closed, he could even see the entire palace from the outside.

At first, it was still a bit fresh, but now he felt …

Lonely, lonely, and lonely at the top.

Fortunately, he wasn't sitting here alone.

But Jin Wang clearly wasn't talking about this.

Ye Shu saw the mischievous look in the other's eyes and silently moved back. However, he was pressed against the back of the dragon throne.

"Jin Wang!" Ye Shu struggled with all his might as the other kissed him. "This is the Taihe Palace!"

"This Prince knows." Jin Wang dangerously stroked Ye Shu's waist and whispered, "Don't you want to try it once?"

Ye Shu's movements were slightly sluggish.

Actually … it wasn't impossible.

While he was hesitating, Jin Wang had already unbuckled his belt and smiled as he kissed his eyes. "This Prince knows that you want to."

After that day, Jin Wang issued an edict to speed up the grading process and quickly held the court examination.

The spring examination, which was originally supposed to last two months, was shortened to half a month.

On the day the results were released, Jin Wang announced that he was going to the temporary imperial residence to avoid the summer heat and that all important matters would be dealt with there.

As for why he was going to avoid the summer heat in the third month and even brought the Prime Minister along.

That was something that couldn't be said.

After another half a month, the border was officially at war.

Zhanglu's army was unstoppable. It was said that when the two armies were fighting, Zhanglu suddenly took out a new type of firearm that had never been heard of before and completely defeated Xixia.

After receiving this report, Ye Shu looked up and smiled at Jin Wang. He continued to lean against the couch and stroke his cat.

According to the book, this type of firearm would only be produced in the later part of the novel. Now that Ye Shu was here, the progress was naturally much faster.

In a short three months, Xixia's power had been completely wiped out. Ye Shu's due date was also approaching.

Jin Wang didn't even bother with government affairs and spent all his time with Ye Shu. He even moved the entire Imperial Academy of Medicine to the temporary imperial residence. Inside and outside, everything was prepared and ready.

On the other hand, Ye Shu wasn't very nervous.

This little cub didn't make him suffer too much, but anyone with a cub in their belly wouldn't be able to handle it. Furthermore, he had to avoid certain foods and couldn't eat this or that. It was as if he wanted Ye Shu's life.

As a result, he didn't even care about being nervous. He just wanted to quickly unload the goods.

Late at night, Jin Wang had just returned from his bath when he heard Ye Shu hugging his stomach and muttering, "Why haven't you come out yet? There's food, drink, and play outside. What's so good about staying inside?

Be good, I'll give you another five days … no, three days. Hurry up and come out. "

Jin Wang: "… …"

Was this even negotiable?

Jin Wang lightly knocked his forehead and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Go to sleep."

He turned off the lights and went to bed. Ye Shu easily snuggled into Jin Wang's embrace.

It was already midsummer, but the temporary imperial residence was still cool and cool. Even with the two of them stuck together, they didn't feel hot.

Jin Wang patted Ye Shu's back casually. The latter was quiet for a while, then suddenly asked, "You still can't sleep?"

For the past half a month, Jin Wang hadn't slept well for more than a few days.

Ye Shu said, "Didn't the imperial physician say that Lord Kun's physique is suitable for giving birth? The risk isn't great, and you won't suffer much."

"I know." Jin Wang said, "I'm just a little nervous."

Ye Shu rubbed against Jin Wang's chest, "What's there to be nervous about? I'm not afraid."

"En, you're very brave."

Ye Shu was silent for a while, then said softly, "Actually … I'm also a little scared."

He paused, then said, "That's why, when the child is born, you have to reward me well. You have to make whatever I want to eat!"

Jin Wang replied, "I will. You can eat whatever you want. I'll go learn."

"Then I'll have to think about it …"

Before Ye Shu could think of anything, there was suddenly a voice outside the door.

"Your Majesty, there's news from the frontlines!"

The two of them were startled.

Ye Shu's due date was approaching, and with Jin Wang's instructions, no one dared to disturb their rest in the middle of the night.

Unless …

Jin Wang said, "Bring it up."

The guard presented the letter. Jin Wang opened the letter and read it. A rare look of joy appeared in his eyes.

The frontlines had been won one after another, and the Changlu army had already reached the capital of Xixia.

Xixia's supplies were cut off, and they were isolated and without help. It wouldn't be long before they were completely defeated.

It would take at least five to six days for the military news to reach the capital. In other words, Xixia might have already been conquered.

It hadn't even been four months since the start of the war.

The guard who delivered the letter shouted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Ye Shu didn't see the contents of the letter, but he could roughly guess it from the reaction of the guard and Jin Wang.

Xixia wasn't strong enough, and Great Yan had Yu Yan's internal support. It was only a matter of time before they unified the world.

Jin Wang put down the letter and looked back at Ye Shu.

Ye Shu smiled at him, "Aren't you going to thank me for my contributions?"

"Thank you." Jin Wang lowered his head and kissed him, "Prime Minister, how do you want me to thank you? Do you want me to marry you?"

Ye Shu was about to answer when he suddenly frowned.

It seemed … a little painful?

The pain in his stomach was getting more and more obvious. Ye Shu hugged his stomach, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It came at the right time. This puppy really knew how to join in the fun.
