For Ye Shu, life after marriage was no different from before.
After subduing West Xia, Changlu had a long period of peace. According to the plot of the original novel, it was Great Yan's turn to deal with West Xia. Great Yan was located in the south and was much stronger than West Xia. Naturally, it was not something that could be solved by sending troops over.
Now that Yu Yan was here, Jin Wang did not have any intention of declaring war.
He just let Yu Yan go and seize power, while Changlu secretly assisted him. When the time came, wouldn't it be up to them to discuss how the two countries should interact?
With the world at peace, Ye Shu and Jin Wang could finally focus on raising their child.
After Little Yezi turned one year old, his appearance gradually matured. His brows also seemed to be carved from the same mold as Jin Wang's. Only his eyes were slightly tilted and had peach blossoms in them. When he smiled, he was no different from Ye Shu's.
— — It could already be seen that he would grow up to be a beauty that could bring disaster to the country.
Little Yezi's body was very healthy and he was naturally very active. He was even more lively than other children his age.
After learning how to walk, he liked to run around the courtyard. When he became wild, no one could catch him. Moreover, this child did not cry or make a fuss when he fell. He patted his clothes and continued to run around as if he had endless energy.
Every time, Ye Shu would be scared half to death. He would only be able to relax after he had the servants change all the furniture that could be easily knocked over.
"… Who do you think he takes after in his personality?" Ye Shu looked through the window at his son who was fighting a battle of wits and courage with the servants in the courtyard.
Jin Wang stopped flipping the pages of the book and said without raising his head, "Don't look at me. When I was young, I was not good at sports. Mother forced me to practice martial arts."
His words were not wrong.
Jin Wang was still young and weak. He was also quiet and sensible by nature, so he wouldn't run around like this.
Ye Shu nodded subconsciously, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, "You're saying that it's all my fault? I was not like this when I was young! "
That was because he did not have the opportunity.
When he was young, he did not have the opportunity to learn how to walk.
However …
Jin Wang glanced at him. His lips curved as he said softly, "When I first met you, you were just like Little Yezi now."
Ye Shu: "…"
At that time, Ye Shu had just recovered his legs and loved to drag Jin Wang around the palace to play. He jumped up and down and was full of curiosity about everything.
It wasn't until Jin Wang's mother was demoted and the three of them moved into the Cold Palace that Ye Shu gradually calmed down.
Ye Shu was silent for a moment. He refused to admit his dark history. "You're talking nonsense. I'm going to play with my son. I'm ignoring you."
"Little Prince, be careful!"
Ye Shu had just walked out of the hall when a small figure ran towards him and jumped into his arms. "Daddy, daddy!"
Little Yezi was very smart. Whether it was learning to walk or talking, he was much faster than ordinary children. He was already two and a half years old. His pronunciation was clear, and his voice had a little childish tone to it.
Ye Shu squatted down and pinched his soft cheeks. "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"
The little boy grabbed onto Ye Shu's sleeve. His eyes were shining. "Little Yezi wants to go out of the palace to play."
"Out of the palace?" Ye Shu asked. "Why do you suddenly want to go out?"
"Uncle Gao said that there's a new opera troupe in the city!"
Ye Shu's eyes lit up slightly.
They really hadn't gone out of the palace to play for a long time.
The power struggle in Great Yan was getting more and more intense. It was inevitable that Zhanglu would add fuel to the fire. Therefore, since autumn, Jin Wang and Ye Shu had gradually become busy.
It was fine if they didn't mention it. Now that they did, Ye Shu also wanted to go out for a stroll.
He turned his head and looked into the hall.
Jin Wang was still sitting at the table dealing with work. Before Ye Shu came out, he took a look. It would take at least two to four hours to finish. Jin Wang had become more diligent after marriage. If he didn't finish his work, he definitely wouldn't agree to go out to play.
But if he waited for another two to four hours … the sky would be dark.
Ye Shu pursed his lips and looked back. He just happened to meet Little Yezi's bright eyes.
The father and son saw the same desire and hesitation in each other's eyes.
They didn't dare to mention it.
They were scared.
Ye Shu was helpless.
His son was lively and outgoing. He was also cute. Whether it was the eunuchs or the ministers, everyone would praise him when they saw him. But only … when he was facing his father, he was scared into a ball.
Little Yezi timidly pulled Ye Shu's sleeve. "Father, you should go and ask father."
"…" He didn't know who he took after in this timid manner.
"No, I was the one who asked when we went to the lake in the suburbs." Ye Shu said confidently. "We agreed that we would each ask once. You can't go back on your word."
Little Yezi's small face wrinkled.
Ye Shu said earnestly, "Father told you before that you have to fight for what you want. Good boy, father treats you so well. What's there to be scared of? "
Little Yezi imitated his tone and said seriously, "But father also treats you very well. Aren't you scared too?"
"…"
Ye Shu opened his mouth. After a while, he whispered, "It's different for me …"
Little Yezi curiously tilted his head. "How is it different?"
Ye Shu's expression was a bit complicated.
Last time, he took Jin Wang to the lake. They had so much fun that they refused to go back to the palace. Because of this, Jin Wang had accumulated more than thirty memorials. In the end, he was forced to sit on the dragon chair in the imperial study by the dog emperor. He had to sit there and read through the memorials. It took him an entire night to finish.
Ye Shu shivered. He didn't explain and said with a serious face, "In short, we'll each ask once. We agreed."
"Okay …" Little Yezi said sensibly. "Then I'll go and find father."
"… Why are you looking for me?" Jin Wang's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them. The big and small duo outside the hall trembled and turned their heads around.
Ye Shu wasn't much taller than his son when he squatted down. He looked up at Jin Wang with the same innocent expression in his eyes.
"What kind of evil idea are you discussing now?" His appearance was so cute that it made people's hearts melt. Jin Wang's eyes moved slightly and he deliberately asked with a serious face.
Ye Shu secretly poked his son next to him.
Little Yezi looked at Ye Shu. Seeing his father's encouraging gaze, he boldly walked forward and took Jin Wang's hand. He said in a soft and cute voice, "Father, Ye 'er wants to go out and play."
Jin Wang asked, "Where do you want to go? The Imperial Garden?"
"… No."
Jin Wang wasn't strict with his son. On the contrary, because his son's temperament was too similar to Ye Shu's, he was somewhat indulgent. Perhaps it was because he had been the ruler for so many years that his majesty couldn't be shaken off. This made the child instinctively afraid.
Little Yezi blinked his bright eyes and gathered his courage, "I … I want to go out and play."
Jin Wang saw the expression on the two people's faces and expected it, so he wasn't surprised.
He glanced at Ye Shu who was obediently squatting behind his son and pretending that this matter had nothing to do with him. He leisurely said, "If you want to go out, then let your father take you. The prime minister's residence outside the palace is also your home."
After the marriage, Jin Wang gave Ye Shu a new prime minister's residence. It was closer to the Imperial City and Ye Shu could go back and live there whenever he wanted. However, more than a year had passed and Ye Shu rarely went back.
Little Yezi suddenly understood, "Oh right …"
If he and his father wanted to go out and play, they didn't need to ask for his father's permission!
But why …
Little Yezi looked at Ye Shu in confusion.
Ye Shu couldn't avoid it, so he took a few steps forward and grabbed Jin Wang's other hand. He whispered, "I want you to go out and play with me."
Jin Wang's gaze swept over the two of them. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and gently smiled.
In the past, there was only Ye Shu. He already couldn't stand this person acting spoiled and cute. Now, there was another little one.
His Majesty once again began to worry about his status in the family.
Jin Wang said, "Go change your clothes. We're going out of the palace."
"Okay!" Little Yezi was happy and was carried away by a palace maid to change his clothes.
Jin Wang led Ye Shu into the palace hall.
Ye Shu took the initiative to unbutton his dragon robe. His ears were a little hot, "It's Little Yezi who wants you to go with him, not me …"
"I know." Jin Wang looked down at him with a faint smile in his eyes, "It's not you who is clingy."
Ye Shu awkwardly looked away and his ears turned even redder.
Jin Wang loved this look of his. He stepped forward to help him take off his robe and kissed him on the cheek, "Even Little Yezi knows to bravely express what he wants. Why is Ye Xiang hiding behind his son?"
"… …"
Wasn't it because a certain emperor was always being unreasonable?
Jin Wang smiled but didn't say anything. The two of them quickly changed into civilian clothes and left the palace with Little Yezi.
The family of three went to the theater to listen to a new play. Then, they went to the best restaurant in the city for dinner.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, a figure came out of the restaurant to greet them, "Master, Your Majesty — —"
Jin Wang looked up at him. The person immediately changed his address, "… … Young Master."
Ye Shu didn't mind. The child in his arms excitedly shouted, "Uncle Chang Yuan!"
Chang Yuan patted Little Yezi's head, "Good evening, Little Master."
Chang Yuan wasn't good at business, but he was cautious and serious in his work and had Ye Shu's help in the dark. Ever since he took over Ye Shu's business, it took him less than three years to become the largest merchant in the capital.
Jin Wang turned a blind eye to this and never asked where the money went. All of it went to Ye Shu's little treasury.
The restaurant they went to was also one of the Ye family's businesses.
Chang Yuan led the three of them to the best seats in the restaurant. Little Yezi clung to Chang Yuan and refused to let go, "I want to fly high, I want to go to the roof!"
Ye Shu, "… …"
Once, Little Yezi was carried by Chang Yuan using qinggong. From then on, he clung to Chang Yuan. Every time they met, he would carry him and "fly".
Chang Yuan got the permission of his two fathers, picked up Little Yezi, and jumped out of the window.
Ye Shu naturally didn't have to worry about Chang Yuan's skills. As he watched him jump over the roof, Ye Shu looked away and saw that Jin Wang's expression wasn't very good.
Ye Shu teased, "Are you jealous? You can obviously fly with your son, but our Emperor can't put down his pride. "
He cleared his throat and imitated Jin Wang's tone, "Flying over roofs and vaulting over walls, what a scandal!"
Jin Wang glanced at him.
Ye Shu quickly shut his mouth.
Jin Wang lifted the teacup in front of him and took a sip, "I'm just worried that Ye 'er will really fall in love with martial arts and change his mind."
Jin Wang's older brother was like this. He liked martial arts from a young age and didn't have the heart to do his homework. When he grew up, he didn't have the heart to inherit the throne and went straight to his fief.
But because of this, the Eldest Prince managed to escape a calamity. He could be considered Jin Wang's only relative in this world.
Ye Shu didn't care, "There's nothing bad about it. If he really likes martial arts, he can get Xiao Huan to teach him. In any case, Xiao Huan also likes him. Every time he writes to him, he sends him a lot of delicious food — "
At this point, Ye Shu's voice stopped abruptly as he shut his mouth.
Jin Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Xiao Huan … still writes to you?"
Ye Shu felt guilty from his glare and said, "What are you doing? How long has it been since he left the capital? If you have the time to be jealous, why don't you hurry your trusted aide, the Left General, to get him! "
Jin Wang was speechless.
The two of them had been together day and night, and their relationship had developed quite a bit. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell.
But the problem was that one of them had grown up in a military camp and only knew martial arts. He was a complete blockhead, while the other still only had Ye Shu in his head. Every year, he would write a letter to Jin Wang hoping that the two emperors would be allowed to get married.
Jin Wang, "…"
It would be strange if he could get her.
Jin Wang didn't want to talk about this with him anymore, so he asked, "If you allow Ye'er to practice martial arts, what will happen to the throne? You won't let him be the Crown Prince anymore?"
Ye Shu fell silent.
"That's true …" Ye Shu frowned and said, "If he doesn't become the Crown Prince, he won't be able to inherit the throne. You can't abdicate earlier and go out to play with me. Sigh, it's better to nurture him well and let him quickly inherit the throne for the sake of his two fathers' happy lives. "
Jin Wang, "…"
Why did this person sound so disdainful of the throne????
Jin Wang was already used to his Prime Minister's unusual way of thinking. He smiled lightly and said, "Actually, there's another way."
Ye Shu, "What is it?"
Jin Wang leaned closer and whispered in Ye Shu's ear, "If he doesn't want to be the Crown Prince, we can just have another child."
Ye Shu's ears quickly turned red.
If it was said that Ye Shu had been a little averse to getting pregnant and having children before he gave birth, he didn't feel that way now. Children were so fun to play with, so there was no harm in having one more. However, they had always let nature take its course in this aspect. They didn't deliberately prevent it, nor did they force it.
This was the first time Jin Wang had taken the initiative to bring it up.
"You, how do you know that if you have another child, he will definitely want your throne? What if he doesn't want it either? "
Jin Wang sighed and said, "Then he can only be adopted from the side branch. I don't know if my brother has any children …"
Ye Shu was stunned when he heard this. "You …"
Jin Wang, "What?"
"If the child doesn't want the throne, you … you really don't care?" Ye Shu asked.
"What's there to care about?" Jin Wang said, "You said it yourself. The child has his own life. What he wants to do shouldn't be restricted by us."
Ye Shu's gaze softened.
Jin Wang had really changed a lot for him.
Chang Yuan quickly returned with Little Yezi.
When the dishes were all served, Ye Shu was feeding Little Yezi egg custard when he suddenly thought of something.
"Jin Wang." Ye Shu put down his spoon. Little Yezi opened his mouth but didn't get to eat the egg custard. He smacked his lips in puzzlement.
Jin Wang, "What?"
Ye Shu was expressionless. "So you're not willing to take Little Yezi to fly because you can't put down your pride to take him to the roof???"
Jin Wang, "…"
When the two returned to the palace, it was already late at night.
Ye Shu placed the sleeping Little Yezi on the bed. Just as he got up, he was hugged from behind. "Let's go take a bath?"
The dog emperor never let go of any opportunity to be intimate. Little Yezi was at the age where he was very clingy. He slept with his two fathers every day, so the bath was the last place where they could be alone.
Ye Shu nodded imperceptibly. Jin Wang kissed him on the cheek and pulled him out.
A little yellow dog came in through the gap in the door.
After the little yellow dog A Wang left the system, it was kept in the Yangxin Palace Hall. At this time, it was usually already asleep. The two looked at each other. Sure enough, the little yellow dog wagged its tail and said in human language, "Long time no see."
Ye Shu asked, "What are you doing here, Big Yellow?"
The little yellow dog's fur exploded. "I'll say it again. My name is not Big Yellow. Although I'm a dog now, I'm not a real dog!"
Jin Wang, "…"
Ye Shu, "Pfft."
Ye Shu bent down to stroke the little yellow dog's fur. "I won't tease you anymore. Why are you looking for me?"
The little yellow dog had a look of disgust on its face, but it didn't avoid it. Instead, it instinctively rubbed against his palm. "It's nothing. It's about what I promised you before."
Ye Shu paused. "You mean … my memories?"
"Yes." The little yellow dog said, "The memories that were erased from your body have been recovered. When you wake up tomorrow, they will return to your body."
Ye Shu's eyes moved slightly. He looked up at Jin Wang.
The latter smiled gently at him.
Ye Shu said, "Thank you."
Ye Shu didn't care if his memories could be recovered. He was very happy now, even without those memories. However, those were the bits and pieces between him and Jin Wang. If they could be recovered … it would be for the best.
"There's another piece of news." The little yellow dog said, "I've made a request to the system to allow you to enter the modern world. When you enter the modern world, the flow of time here will stop. However, if you want to stay there for as long as you want, you need to apply in advance. I'll leave a document for you regarding the application method and the rules that need to be followed. "
He looked up at Jin Wang. "This world has been rebooted many times. It was against my rules. Fortunately, it has been resolved successfully. Consider this my thanks to you."
Jin Wang understood and nodded. "Thank you."
The little yellow dog turned around and was about to leave when he thought of something. He said to Ye Shu, "Oh right, you can't go to the modern world yet. You have to wait for a while."
Ye Shu asked, "Why?"
The little yellow dog explained, "The system only gave the two of you permission. The children that you created won't be able to go."
This was already the system being lenient. Ye Shu wasn't so greedy as to ask the children to go with them.
Ye Shu said, "I understand. It's fine as long as we don't bring Little Ye along."
The little yellow dog looked at them hesitantly.
Jin Wang, "…"
Ye Shu, "?"
Jin Wang took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder."
The little yellow dog nodded and turned to leave.
Jin Wang helped Ye Shu sit down. Ye Shu asked blankly, "What … what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Don't be nervous." Jin Wang comforted him gently and called out, "Summon the imperial physician!"
Ye Shu, "???"
