The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

"Dayuan does not advocate same-sex couples to stay together for life, and there is no precedent for same-sex marriage. The books involved have bad guidance and should not only be banned, but also severely cracked down on."

It turns out that the law was not aimed at combating homosexuality, but at combating the concept of same-sex couples staying together for life as advocated in the book.

After understanding Gu Wenzhe's concerns, Shen Jingli just found it funny.

"After listening to Minister Gu's words, I really feel it is extremely ironic. Some men are not satisfied even if they have beautiful wives and concubines, and they still keep male favorites in their houses. Such people are considered normal, but some men like male love and want to stay with their lovers forever. Is this against nature?"

"Sir, do you think this is ridiculous?"

"Is it normal to treat male favorites as playthings?"

Gu Wenzhe: “…”

Seeing that Gu Wenzhe remained silent, Shen Jingli continued to ask: "Dayuan law does not allow same-sex marriage, but the law does not explicitly prohibit same-sex love. Since there is no such thing, what is the basis for your bad guidance?"

"Could it be that those who treat male favorites as playthings will immediately apply what they have learned and stick with only one person from now on after reading a few books advocating one-lifetime love?"

"Could it be that two people who are truly sure of their feelings would give up on spending the rest of their lives together just because they missed reading a few books about being together for life?"

“This…this…” Gu Wenzhe naturally couldn’t answer Shen Jingli’s question.

Gu Sichen also helped to agree, "Father, you are really worrying too much. Once a temperament is set, it is difficult to change."

Gu Wenzhe was shocked, "You...you guys...?"

Earlier, the Emperor had some thoughts about Gu Sichen. Today, the two of them came in a hurry to discuss the matter of the gay books. Could it be that they have other intentions than to stay in the bar?

He said nervously, "Your Majesty, I am asking something that I shouldn't ask. Could it be that Your Majesty also respects a couple for life? This person does not refer to a woman, but a man."

"I really want to be with someone for the rest of my life."

Hearing Shen Jingli's words, Gu Sichen couldn't help but become nervous. Who was this person the emperor was talking about?

Gu Wenzhe pretended to be calm and clenched his fists. He was afraid that these two people would suddenly pour out their hearts to each other in front of him.

He is old and can't stand this kind of stimulation.

Shen Jingli saw Gu Wenzhe's worry. Was he... afraid that his precious son would go astray in his eyes?

She took a sip of tea leisurely and said calmly: "This person is not that person, but wealth."

Gu Sichen: ...It's good that it's not Qin Yejue...

Minister Gu: ...I hope it’s not Gu Sichen...

Shen Jingli put down the teacup and gave Gu Wenzhe a trusting look, "Don't worry, your worries are all self-inflicted."

"But...I, as an old minister, have to consider the key points..."

Gu Wenzhe looked at Gu Sichen with mixed feelings and sighed silently. He was his only child. If Gu Sichen liked men and insisted on staying with only one person, what should he do...

If the person he wants to protect is the emperor, then it would be even more terrifying...

Shen Jingli naturally understood Gu Wenzhe's concerns. She walked up to Gu Wenzhe, lowered her head and whispered, "My relationship with Scholar Gu is innocent. I only wrote those love letters for fun. Besides, I am already the regent's man, so he has no chance."

Shen Jingli brought the Regent out at this time, on the one hand, to eliminate Gu Wenzhe's concerns, and on the other hand, to use Qin Yejue's identity to suppress him.

This created an illusion that she wanted to abolish the law because of her relationship with Qin Yejue, not Gu Sichen.

“…This…this?”

"Just know it, don't spread it, I still have some dignity to protect."

Recently, I have been using Qin Yejue's name to build momentum outside. If he knew about this, I don't know how angry he would be.

a long time…

Gu Wenzhe heaved a sigh of relief: "Forget it, forget it. I will not delve into the details of what the taboos are. I agree with the abolition of the taboos."

Hearing that Gu Wenzhe was willing to give in, Shen Jingli's eyes sparkled brightly, "Then Minister Gu, please go to the Dali Temple immediately. Lord Wang is waiting for your nod of approval."

"Yes, I will go to the Dali Temple immediately."

The corners of Shen Jingli's lips rose slightly. It seemed that the leader of Qingshan Village would be released soon.

Seeing that it was still early, she planned to go to the secret room of Dali Temple to meet this "talented" person.

"I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll go first. Minister Gu, hurry up."

Gu Wenzhe stood up and saluted: "This old minister respectfully sends His Majesty off."

Gu Sichen also stood up at this time. He was about to follow Shen Jingli, but he was stopped by Gu Wenzhe after taking a few steps: "Rebellious son, stop right there!"

Gu Sichen paused, "Is there something wrong, father?"

Gu Wenzhe shouted coldly: "The emperor has important matters to attend to, why are you following him?"

"The emperor is alone, and as his subjects, we should protect him."

After hearing this, Gu Wenzhe felt like he had heard a huge joke. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Gu Sichen's ignorance.

"Humph, guarding? I'm afraid it's not your turn to worry about this kind of thing! There is absolutely no clean relationship between the Regent and the Emperor, why are you getting involved? How many lives do you have to squander?"

Gu Sichen: "The emperor did not do this voluntarily. He entrusted himself to Xushe. He is really pitiful. My son... wants to save him."

Gu Wenzhe was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Save? What can you do to save me? I think you are ridiculous! Childish and ignorant."

He asked again: "Tell me honestly, do you like the emperor?"

Gu Sichen: “…”

Seeing Gu Sichen was silent, Gu Wenzhe slowed down his tone, "Chen'er, your mother loves you as her life. Can you marry and have children properly in this life? This is what I, as your father, beg you for..."

Gu Sichen lowered his eyes, with a sad expression on his face, "Father, I cannot bear this kind of request. I have no thoughts about the emperor... I just feel sorry for him... that's all."

"Chen'er, your father believes in you."

Gu Sichen's eyes flickered for a moment, then he turned around. He still wanted to go with Shen Jingli.

Seeing this, Gu Wenzhe took a deep breath and said in a firm tone: "Your mother is sick, stay and talk to her."

Gu Sichen paused and understood what Gu Wenzhe meant. He was using his mother to put pressure on him.

"Got it. Father, hurry up and go to the Dali Temple. Don't let the emperor down."

After Gu Sichen finished speaking, he walked towards the Shangshu’s wife’s residence.

Shen Jingli was in a good mood and walked quickly towards the secret room of Dali Temple. From afar, she saw a familiar figure leaning against the corner, staring at the door of the secret room stealthily.

She looked closely and found that it was...

The sister of the leader of Qingshan Village...? ! !

What was she doing sneaking around the wall? Could she be here to visit her brother?

Shen Jingli walked over quickly and patted Gao Yunshuang on the shoulder: "What are you doing?"

Gao Yunshuang felt her shoulders sink and her body tensed up suddenly. She turned around abruptly and breathed a sigh of relief when she found out it was Shen Jingli. "Huh... I got scared. It turned out to be the pretty dancing brother."
