My wife is too strong, Mr. Chu can't stand it

Ye Fan looked at his reward and found it funny, "Master, you are dissatisfied with my reward."

"I dare not, but I have nothing but this humble skill, and the amulet is too flimsy, so I dare to use your majesty's reward."

What Chu Heng said was not straightforward, but it was really nice to hear.

Ye Fan didn't care and just asked him about the effect of the amulet.

Chu Heng drew three pictures, tested one himself, and then drew two more after confirming that they were correct.

He gave the other one to the guard waiting on the side, and asked Xie Qing to make a move, demonstrating the power of the amulet to them in public.

Seeing that the spear was not close to him and the talisman paper in the guard's hand turned to ashes, Ye Fan couldn't help laughing and asked Changfu to take the last talisman and put it close to his body.

"Why didn't the Imperial Master bring out such a good thing earlier?"

Chu Heng bowed, "I'm not very good at painting. Even when my master taught me before, I still couldn't draw it. I tried again these few days, and to my surprise, I succeeded."

Chu Heng smiled embarrassedly after he finished speaking. He was just trying to coax his father-in-law in disguise.

Ye Fan didn't think Chu Heng was trying to coax him, but he narcissistically thought that Chu Heng was coaxing him because of the true dragon energy in him. He laughed and said a few good words, and then let the children present their gifts.

There was no need for concubines in the palace, and the princes and princesses were also taught by their mother, so the gifts they received were all decent.

But Ye Jin had no one to teach him, so he was left behind.

He walked up to Ye Fan, took out a small purse from his arms, held it up and handed it to Ye Fan, and said crisply, "Your Majesty, I wish you good health and success in everything."

Ye Fan lowered his eyebrows and looked at the child kneeling in front of him. He was so small and well-behaved. It was this gift...

He didn't let Changfu take it, but just asked him with a smile, "What gift did Xiaoqi prepare for father?"

Ye Jin felt a little embarrassed when asked this question. "What I have now is what the emperor gave me. I dare not give away the rewards. This is my monthly salary for this month, and I give it all to the emperor."

Ye Fan was stunned when he heard this. The concubines, princes and princesses in the palace all had monthly salaries, but they were not much, and were basically supplemented by their mothers.

But Ye Jin's mother had passed away, and she was the only one left in the palace. Although he had given her a reward, the reward was indeed not suitable for another gift.

He had never thought about what Ye Jin could give him, but he didn't expect that the little guy would give him all his monthly salary.

Ye Fan took it with a smile, reached out to help Ye Jin up, and picked her up and held her in his arms.

"Come, Xiaoqi, count for Father how much moon silver there is."

Ye Jin obediently opened the small purse, poured out the silver from it, and carefully counted them out one by one for Ye Fan to see.

Ten taels of silver. Ye Jin looked up at Ye Fan and said, "Master, you said it was perfect. I will use the remaining two taels to melt into small silver beads."

Ye Jin said this as he showed the small silver bead to Ye Fan. There was a bright yellow string hanging behind the small silver bead, and the word "peace" was written on the silver bead.

Ye Fan was very happy to see this, thinking of how Concubine Yue always made purses and pajamas for him by hand, which were comfortable and beautiful.

Ye Fan was overjoyed. He took the small silver bead from Ye Jin's hand, then spread out Ye Jin's hand and lightly touched the punctured blister on his fingertips.

"I got burned. Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. I'm happy to celebrate Father's birthday."

The innocence of Ye Jin's smile made Ye Fan feel guilty and distressed.

Ye Fan had no intention of letting go. He asked Changfu to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the best burn ointment and held Ye Jin while he had dinner.

Ye Jin was very obedient, calling Ye Fan "Father" all the time, and staring at the wine in Ye Fan's glass.

Ye Fan looked at him with amusement, "Xiao Qi, do you want to try it?"

“It smells nice.”

Ye Jin looked so innocent that Ye Fan was delighted. He ordered someone to pour him a shallow cup of tea and asked him to taste it.

The wine smells fragrant but tastes very spicy.

Ye Jin, who had never drunk anything before, choked and kept coughing, her face flushed red.

Ye Fan didn't think it was rude. He patted him on the back with a smile on his face, and then took some tea to feed Ye Jin, asking him to calm down.

When Ye Jin recovered, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Ye Fan aggrievedly, "It's so spicy."

Ye Fan laughed even louder. He hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he had never been so close to his children.

He was the emperor, busy with state affairs and had little free time. The other princes and princesses were all carefully taught, respected him more than relied on him, and were always cautious and well-behaved.

It was a rare opportunity for him to be so close to his child, and he regained some of the father-son affection. In addition, due to his guilt towards Ye Jin, Ye Fan couldn't help but indulge her a little, knowing that he was the only one Ye Jin could rely on in the palace.

Ye Fan patted him, "Do you want to drink more?"

Ye Jin shook his head, he definitely couldn’t drink it.

Even so, Ye Fan did not let go and continued to eat, still focusing on Ye Jin's preferences.

It’s just that Ye Jin had been in the cold palace for too long, so she no longer had the problem of being picky about food.

As the family dinner was halfway through, the alcohol Ye Jin had drunk began to take effect. She leaned dizzy into Ye Fan's arms, her face flushed.

Ye Fan noticed it and touched it. It was a little hot. Maybe he was drunk from that sip.

Children who have never drunk alcohol are indeed easy to get drunk.

He called Changfu over and wanted to send Ye Jin back to the palace to rest, but just as he was about to let go of Ye Jin, she opened her eyes and called him father in a daze, her little hands still clutching his clothes, soft and a little frightened.

Ye Fan softened his heart immediately and did not let go. Instead, he held Ye Jin until the end of the family dinner, and then stood up holding Ye Jin.

However, he still did not hand Ye Jin over. She would tremble violently when touched by others. Yuanbao could be touched, but Yuanbao was still young. Ye Fan was afraid that Yunbao would fall to Ye Jin, so he simply carried her back to the yard.

Yuanbao gently placed the person on the bed, and immediately brought warm water to wipe Ye Jin. Ye Fan did not leave, but just watched.

The little guy hadn't slept well since he put Ye Jin down. Although he didn't talk in his sleep, his eyelashes trembled from time to time, and his hands tightly grasped the quilt.

Ye Fan felt distressed when he saw this, and thought that he should rest in the harem tonight as per the rules, so he simply asked Changfu to help him undress and rest here.

Chu Heng had been waiting for news since returning to Fuze Palace. He was relieved when he heard Yu'er say that Ye Fan was staying in Ye Jin's yard. Success or failure depended on this one move. He hoped that Ye Jin could seize this opportunity.

After reporting, Yu'er immediately returned to Ye Jin's yard, waiting for the first-hand news to report to Chu Heng at any time.

The whole situation in the harem changed that night. It was thought that the unfavored little prince had won the favor of His Majesty, who held him in his arms throughout the family dinner and even let him stay overnight.

Many people were concerned about it, but no one took it too seriously.

After all, Ye Jin's mother, Concubine Yue, is dead, and he has no one to rely on, so it is impossible for him to become the crown prince.

It's just that I feel unhappy seeing Ye Jin being so favored.

Soon it was the next morning, and when Ye Fan opened his eyes, he saw Ye Jin staring at him in a trance.

He felt strange and asked him, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Ye Jin opened his lips and shook his head again, lowering his eyes and leaning his little head on Ye Fan's shoulder, feeling a little depressed.

Ye Fan thought about Ye Jin's past experiences and reached out to pull him into his arms. "Did you have a nightmare? Father is here, Xiao Qi, there's no need to be afraid."

"But the dream was so strange, I am still a little scared."

"What nightmare was it? Tell it to Father."

Ye Jin pursed his lips and whispered, "I dreamt of a huge sun, the ground cracked, the grass turned yellow, and those people were dark and thin, falling down one by one. It was so painful for me to watch."
