The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

There was a small gift box in front of him, and Shen Jingli's eyes lit up, "What's that?"

"You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Shen Jingli opened the gift box and was amazed by the exquisite earrings.

This...this is so beautiful!

The Shattered Ice Flower sparkled brightly in the dark bedroom, with each petal glowing with a faint blue light and even the patterns on the petals clearly visible.

It is conceivable that the sculptor must have profound skills, otherwise he would not have been able to create such a stunning work.

"Wait, you picked it up? Where did you find it? Send me the address."

Qin Yejue asked tentatively: "Do you... like it?"

Shen Jingli was slightly startled, his eyes full of questions, "Why do you want me to like it?"

"If you don't like it, just throw it away." Qin Yejue took back the Shattered Ice, a layer of gloom appeared between his brows, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

The first time I gave someone a gift...I didn't give it away...

He doesn’t like…

"Throw it away? Don't."

"I'll give you something better later."

"This is great." Shen Jingli snatched the Shattered Ice Cold. It was not easy to pick up this rare thing, and it was impossible to pick it up every day.

The three characters "Smashed Ice Cold" were written in gold-plated regular script on the gift box of the earrings, and it was obvious that they were of great value.

Qin Yejue is very lucky to have picked up this thing.

"Since you like it... don't throw it away secretly." After hearing Shen Jingli say that he liked it, Qin Yejue felt relieved.

As if coming to his senses, Shen Jingli asked doubtfully, "Am I crazy because of poverty? Did I imagine Qin Yejue gave me earrings in my dream?"

However, it was worth it to be able to see such beautiful earrings in my dream.

Shen Jingli took the Broken Ice in his hand and examined it carefully. As expected, everything in the dream was there. This earring glowed...

Shen Jingli has a lovely smile, his eyebrows and eyes are crescent-shaped, revealing a bit of natural cuteness.

Qin Yejue knew that he couldn't stay any longer as the poison from the psychedelic flower had not yet completely dissipated.

"Don't smile at others like that in the future and go to bed early." After Qin Yejue said this, he strode out of Qianlu Palace.

Seeing Qin Yejue disappear, Shen Jingli put the earrings aside, closed his eyes, and said helplessly: "I'd better drink some calming tea tomorrow morning. I'm almost going schizophrenic."

In reality, how could Qin Yejue be so gentle, and how could there be such beautiful earrings in the world.

----

The next morning.

Shen Jingli was awakened by Nanny Qiu and was forced to get up again.

"Mammy, I don't want to go to work. I'm so sleepy."

I had a shy dream last night and didn’t sleep well…

"Little ancestor, do you want to stay in bed again? Get up quickly."

Shen Jingli closed his eyes and complained: "Ah, I'm bending over backwards for ten taels of silver. As expected, there is no concept of sleeping in in the world of poor people."

Nanny Qiu naturally didn't understand what Shen Jingli said and thought she was talking nonsense.

The sharp-eyed Aunt Qiu noticed something shiny on the pillow, and when she looked more closely...

This is?

earring?

"Your Majesty? Where did these earrings come from?"

"What earrings?"

Shen Jingli opened his eyes and was shocked!

This…isn’t this the earring that appeared in my dream last night! That!?

She stepped back in fear and staggered a few steps.

After Shen Jingli figured it out, he let out an earth-shattering roar: "That! Was! Not! A! Dream!"

The shameful scenes from last night flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern. Shen Jingli was so anxious that he turned around in circles: "It's over, it's over, Qin Yejue is back."

"Oh no, oh no, he he he...he's not normal."

"This is unscientific! This is wrong!"

"Qin Yejue is not a good person, so don't drag me into this."

"I'm not gay. I definitely won't do it. I won't do it even if I die. Besides, how can I do it with a woman?"

……

Aunt Qiu reminded him, "Little Ancestor? How can you be so outspoken? Walls have ears, little ancestor!"

Shen Jingli was tired from walking around, so he slumped down on the bed, his brows knitted into a knot: "Mammy, I want to retire and return home."

"Your hometown is in the imperial palace in the capital, so there is no such thing as returning home." Nanny Qiu handed tea to Shen Jingli.

Shen Jingli took it and took a few sips with trembling hands. Due to his severe shaking, a large part of his dragon robe was wet.

Seeing Shen Jingli's strange behavior, Nanny Qiu was very worried: "Your Majesty, are you okay? I will call the imperial physician right away."

Shen Jingli grabbed Aunt Qiu and said in despair, "No need, there's no hope."

"If that's the case, then...are you still going to court? Do you still want your salary?"

"Yes, hurry up and wash up."

Although Qin Yejue is a big trouble, life still has to go on and the huge debt still has to be repaid.

Aunt Qiu looked embarrassed. "The last dragon robe is wet. The others have been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be replaced with new ones. They will be delivered in the evening at the earliest."

"You can wear anything you want. It doesn't have to be a dragon robe."

……

On the way to the Golden Palace, Shen Jingli had been preparing himself mentally.

Qin Yejue probably doesn't really want to be gay with her. He must just be feeling cold and wants to find warmth from her.

Giving her earrings is definitely a trap.

Yes, yes, yes, the vase before is a lesson for us.

He wants to extort money. This is a new type of scam and we must be on guard.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Jingli didn't seem so afraid of meeting Qin Yejue anymore.

When they arrived at the Golden Palace, Shen Jingli was the first to sit on the rosewood chair next to the dragon throne and lowered his head quietly.

Qin Yejue arrived late, making everyone present wait for a quarter of an hour.

He leaned lazily on the dragon throne, tapping the armrests gently as usual, his eyes looking towards Shen Jingli intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking down and playing with your fingers?

Don’t look at me either?

Qin Yejue opened his thin lips and said, "I heard that Xixu City reported that the Sang tribe was in turmoil, often crossing the border and provoking the soldiers guarding the city many times?"

The cavalry general Gao Tianye stepped forward and saluted: "Originally, it was because of the prince's expedition to Xiwei that the Sang people dared not stir up trouble. Now that the barbarians are wantonly causing trouble again, they are simply courting their own death."

"You have dared to test the bottom line of the soldiers of Xixu City. I think we cannot tolerate it any longer. I would like to volunteer to go and fight against them."

Qin Yejue turned the conversation to Shen Jingli, who was still in a trance, and said, "Stop playing with your hands. What do you think about this?"

"Ah?" Shen Jingli was absent-minded and didn't hear a word they said just now.

Gu Sichen stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, the Sang tribe provoked the soldiers of Xixu City. General Gao asked to go to Xixu to attack the Sang tribe."

Qin Yejue stared at Gu Sichen in the audience, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

What is so special about Gu Sichen?

Why does Shen Jingli look at him differently?

Were they flirting with each other just now?

"turn around."

Shen Jingli: “???”

Ministers: “???”

"Shen Jingli, turn your head around."

"........."

Although Shen Jingli was confused, he still did as he was told. He turned his body to the side and looked up at Qin Yejue. Their eyes met.

Shen Jingli couldn't help but think of last night's dream... No, that was not a dream. Two blushes crept up her cheeks, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Qin Yejue in the eye.

Qin Yejue seemed to understand why she was blushing, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Tell me what you think about the matter of the Sang tribe... It's up to you to decide."

"Then let General Gao go, but just stop at a certain point. Destroying the Sang tribe will not benefit Dayuan, and there is no need for the two sides to go to war now."

Shen Jingli occasionally went to the Qinzheng Hall to read memorials, so he had a certain understanding of the national situation.

Five years ago, Qin Yejue defeated his old enemy Qi State and made it unable to recover. This great victory made Dayuan the largest country in terms of land area.

The second place is... the Xue Rui Kingdom.

And this restless Sang tribe was standing right between the Dayuan and the Xuerui Kingdom.
