The host is no longer a human today.

As it turned out, Mo Wenqi and An Jinchu were able to successfully apply for leave in the end.

However, this further stimulated Yan Changsui's idea of ​​retiring with his Axue.

-

"Dad, I've told you everything is fine, you don't have to worry." Shen Zuixue was looked up and down by Shen Xiang for several times, and she held his hand helplessly.

Shen Xiang looked worried, "You little brat, I'm just worried that the emperor will bully you? The emperor looks so fierce..."

As he spoke, Shen Xiang became a little sad, holding Shen Zuixue's hand tightly, "Dad is so sorry for you, for forcing you to enter the palace to accompany the emperor. I have never been willing to say a harsh word to you since you were a child, but now I have made you walk on thin ice in the palace..."

Shen Zuixue's mouth twitched, "Dad, you think too much. The emperor treats me very well. I am the queen now, and I am the only one in the harem. I am really fine."

Shen Xiang sniffed, looked him up and down, and seeing his weak and vulnerable posture, he continued to cry.

"My poor son, you lost your mother when you were young, and you are not in good health. Now you have to serve the emperor every day. Dad has heard about it. If you really can't stand it, find a few beauties for the emperor..."

"Dad!" Shen Zuixue couldn't help but raise her voice, "You misunderstood, we are fine, and we are harmonious in that aspect."

When Shen Zuixue said the latter sentence, his tone was a little bit gnashing of teeth. He knew that Shen Xiang was concerned about him, but it really sounded like he was saying that he was weak!

Minister Shen stopped complaining, looked at him hesitantly, and after a long time, he sighed, patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Well, we are not strangers. The emperor is strong and healthy, so it is not shameful if he can't bear it."

Shen Zuixue's face turned completely dark. If he had known that Shen Xiang was like this, he would not have gone home for no reason!

Now, my reputation is in jeopardy (╯▔皿▔)╯

No matter how crazy Shen Zuixue was, Shen was still very happy that her son had returned home.

In fact, he might not be unaware of what kind of life his son led in the palace, and based on his understanding of his son, he would definitely not endure it if he was really wronged.

But as a father, he said that Shen Zuixue couldn't live without him, but in fact it was clearly he who couldn't live without Shen Zuixue.

Shen Xiang's wife left early, and he has to be both a father and a mother alone. It can be said that Shen Zuixue is his spiritual sustenance. Now that Shen Zuixue is not around, he feels uncomfortable no matter what.

I always feel that Shen Zuixue will be wronged when she is outside.

As soon as Shen Zuixue came back today, Prime Minister Shen ordered the kitchen to prepare a large table of food, all of which were Shen Zuixue's favorite dishes.

"Come, come, eat this prawn~"

"And this, your favorite Dongpo pork~"

"Try this. This is a new dish that the kitchen has researched~"

There are only two masters in the Shen family, but they are never lonely at the dinner table because Prime Minister Shen always chatters.

Shen Zuixue enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by father's love and felt a rare sense of guilt.

To be honest, he has quite a lot of parents and relatives in other small worlds. Although he will inevitably experience separation and death in the future, it is not a regret in the end.

But the Prime Minister Shen in this world is different. He always feels that after he leaves, Prime Minister Shen will be an empty-nest old man. In the huge Shen family, there is no other master except Prime Minister Shen himself.

Shen Zuixue would not say anything about taking Shen Xiang over. After all, he lived in the palace, and even if he and Sui Sui lived in the royal family in the future, neither Sui Sui nor Shen Xiang would be comfortable if he insisted on taking Shen Xiang over.

but--

"Dad, have you ever thought about raising another grandson?"

"Cough cough cough!!!" Shen Xiang started coughing violently and looked up at Shen Zuixue in shock.

"This... am I okay? Is it too bad? Does the emperor know about this?" Prime Minister Shen had a dreamy look on his face. His son was too bold.

Shen Zuixue was puzzled. "Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Don't worry, Dad, I won't be jealous. The emperor also knows about this, and he thinks my suggestion is good."

Shen Xiang was in a daze, "Is that tyrant so magnanimous that he would let you find another woman to carry on the family line?"

Shen Zuixue was stunned, "Dad, what are you talking about? I mean adopting a child."

Shen Zuixue was so upset that she asked him to find a woman, but he had to be able to stand up on his own.

I'm so sorry, he can only stand up to Sui Sui~

"Oh, adoption? That's not impossible. Where do you want to adopt from?"

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Prime Minister Shen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but fortunately he was not very obsessed with the inheritance of the family line, otherwise he would not have remarried or taken concubines after his wife's death and would have lived with Shen Zuixue.

"I think we can adopt soldiers' orphans."

Shen Zuixue thought about it and said that he didn't say this on a whim, but had this idea before.

Yan Changsui was not on guard against him at all, and he just read the memorials casually. That time, he saw a few memorials about arrangements for the orphans of martyrs, and found that Suisui actually cared about this.

Suisui went to the military camp at such a young age, lived and ate with the soldiers, had a deep affection for them, and did not want those heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country to be bullied.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to adopt, just open an orphanage."

After thinking about it, Shen Xiang understood what Shen Zuixue meant. He knew that his son was worried that he, an old man, would be lonely at home, so he made such a suggestion. Shen Xiang felt relieved.

Sure enough, the child has grown up.

"I know what you mean, but you don't have to adopt one. I have you as my precious son, and that's enough for me. As for the orphanage, opening one can not only kill time but also help those children. It's the best of both worlds."

Moreover, Shen Xiang felt that instead of adopting a child who would make him different and arouse the dark side of human nature, it would be better to treat everyone equally from the beginning.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Zuixue smiled and nodded, "As long as you're happy, that's all."

"You little stinky boy." Shen Xiang's old face turned red and he scolded with a smile.

"I'm your father, don't talk like I'm a child."

"Oh~" Shen Zuixue stretched out her voice and nodded, looking incredibly obedient.

Shen Xiang has always been a practical man who does what he says. In just one afternoon, he had thought of many plans for the orphanage.

"You are worthy of being the Prime Minister of my Yangyan Dynasty. Dad, you are so amazing."

Shen Zuixue looked at the stack of papers and sighed. She had to say that Prime Minister Shen was really thoughtful, and his consideration was not inferior to that of modern orphanages.

"That's right. Don't you see whose father I am?" Shen Xiang touched his beard with some pride and was very pleased with his son's flattery.

"Master, the emperor is here."

As soon as the servant said this, the curve of Shen Xiang's mouth instantly flattened.

OK, the pig that ate his cabbage is here T^T
