In the court, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides.

General Luo stood in the middle, holding a jade tablet in his hand, and asked for his speech.

"For five consecutive years, a large number of women and couples in the National Dynasty have begun to advocate celibacy and move to the outer court, and the number of newborns has been decreasing. If this continues, there will be a shortage of young and strong men in fifteen years, and the National Dynasty will sooner or later face problems. Ha, I really don't know where this trend of pursuing freedom of marriage comes from."

"Perhaps the top beam is crooked, and the bottom beam is crooked... Come to think of it, the Prime Minister is twenty-five years old this year..."

As soon as General Luo spoke, the Imperial Censor immediately joined in, cooperating with him word by word, and soon threw the hot topic to Prime Minister Lin, the older bachelor.

Prime Minister Lin shuddered, instantly sobering up. It had begun again, it had begun again. The nightmare of this older bachelor being pressured into marriage had begun again...

General Luo said, "I believe that to resolve this issue, either issue an edict requiring all unmarried people over the age of twenty to marry within three months, or have the Prime Minister find a marriage partner by the end of the month to set an example..."

What a nice thing to say, but what does it mean to "set an example"? It's clearly "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys".

"Yes, yes, if Master Lin doesn't take the lead, it would be too unreasonable..."

"Lord Lin has devoted himself to the country over the years and has made great contributions. But as a child, he has missed the opportunity to get married year after year, which has a bad impact..."

Listening to the constant chatter in the court, Lin Huai'en looked back at General Luo. He saw that General Luo chuckled after his evil plan succeeded, and when he met Lin Huai'en's eyes, he glanced at him arrogantly.

Lin Huai'en gritted his teeth instantly.

Ha, this old guy even dared to give me a sidelong glance. What's so strange about that? Just say what you want to say!? Why are you still beating around the bush?

You've been hinting at my marriage time and time again? Are you planning to take over as soon as I'm married and pregnant?

Haha, you really made me angry. I told you this while I was having morning sickness!

On the high golden steps, a voice with the majesty of an emperor fell heavily, shaking off the voices of criticism surrounding Lin Huai'en -

"Don't worry, I will solve it for him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huai'en's eyes suddenly brightened ten times, and he quickly cast a grateful look towards Di Shaoze on the dragon throne - finally, all these years of pulling Di Shaoze around were not in vain, as he finally knew how to use his internal strength to help him solve his single problem.

To be honest, he has been envious of the handsome guys in the military camp for years...

On the dragon throne, the expressionless Emperor Shaoze noticed Lin Huai'en's eyes, curled his thin lips, and actually winked back cunningly, giving Lin Huai'en a small response.

Just one glance and the intimacy that cannot be expressed to outsiders flows silently.

"Yes," the civil and military officials trembled in agreement. Even General Luo hurried back to his position in disgrace. Now that His Majesty had spoken, no one dared to interfere with the Prime Minister's marriage. To do so would be to question the Emperor's actions.

After leaving the court safely, Lin Huai'en got on his five-horse carriage and went to a teahouse first. He booked a spacious room, had some cups of tea, a few plates of cakes, and a few books, and slowly killed time from noon.

As he remained unmarried year after year, his mother's dislike for him at home skyrocketed. Especially today, news arrived that his mother's mortal enemy, Lady Wang, had married her 16-year-old youngest daughter, who had just come of age, to a third-rank official of excellent character and appearance, and had even come to his house with a beaming face to "drop by" to chat.

This is too much. If he returns home, there will definitely be bloodshed and violence. He has to hide outside.

It was evening in the teahouse. Lin Huai'en yawned and felt a little sleepy, so he led the servant back home secretly. As soon as he got home, he went back to his bedroom. Just as he was about to pull the quilt over his head and sleep until dawn, the door opened with a bang. Mrs. Lin rushed in with an anxious look on her face. She turned on the light without saying anything and pulled Lin Huai'en out.

"Still sleeping! Still sleeping! Your mother can't sleep, but you're so relaxed, drinking tea and eating melon seeds outside, and then you go to sleep as soon as you get home!"

Lin Huai'en was dragged out, and could only put on a robe and sit at the desk, listening to his mother's nagging with sleepy eyes. From what she said, it was clear that his mother was really hit hard today. She wanted to pour out a lot of bitterness, and she kept talking about it, from the time when Lin Huai'en gave up raising pigs at the age of sixteen and ran to the capital to take the imperial examination, all the way to when he became the Prime Minister at the age of twenty-five.

"Mom, isn't this inspiring? A country kid defying the odds and making it to the capital!"

"What a bunch of inspiration! Look at what you've been doing every day since becoming Prime Minister. All you do is read, write poetry, and study. When you finally get out, you buy me a poetry collection across the street and come back. Even the piglet we raised since he was little brought back a cabbage yesterday, and you haven't even brought back a man!"

Mrs. Lin slapped the table in anger, then wiped away her tears. The more she spoke, the more bitter her complaints became, and she couldn't stop complaining for a while. Lin Huai'en sighed inwardly and reached out secretly for the book on the table, but found that the touch was wrong, very wrong.

Lin Huai'en quickly flipped through the pile of books on the table, raised his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mom, why did you steal all my books? Aren't these all my fan fiction books? They are all fabricated stories of my love affairs. Even if no man wants me, you can't let me deceive and numb myself with words..."

Mrs. Lin glared at Lin Huai'en, making him shrink back. "You know nothing! This is called fighting poison with poison! Don't you like reading? Then give me these books! Read one a day, memorize a paragraph a day. Before you eat pork, first show me how pigs run!"

"Yeah. Mother is right..." Seeing that his mother's anger had risen to her head and her eyes were almost spitting fire, Lin Huai'en quickly lowered his head humbly and agreed.

Seeing that Lin Huai'en agreed, Mrs. Lin gave a few more instructions before reluctantly returning to her room. As soon as she left, Lin Huai'en carried the storybook to the bedside, snuggled in the warm bed, and began to read according to her instructions... the fan fiction storybook.

Lin Huai'en flipped through a stack of storybooks and began to choose a topic.

Book titles: "The Domineering General Fell in Love with Me", "The General's Wife is Too Alluring", "I Raised His Majesty as My Cub"...

Hmm? Your Majesty? My dear?

Following the title, Lin Huai'en thought of Di Shaoze's fair and young face, and smiled knowingly. He couldn't help but think it was very cute, so he opened the story of raising a cub.

content--

"My dear, I've raised you for so many years. You're the cutest thing in my heart." As soon as Lin Huai'en finished speaking, Di Shaoze turned over his sturdy body, pressed Lin Huai'en down on the bed, and whispered in his ear, "My dear, I'm eighteen now. I'm no longer your little kid. Besides, my father passed away, and I inherited all his possessions, including you..."

Um? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ?

With a snap, Lin Huai'en slammed the book shut, his face bewildered, wondering what he had just seen. After a long while, he opened the book again and took another close look.

He didn't read a single word wrong! ?

Hey, hey, hey, this post is totally inappropriate! Writing a taboo porn story and using a cute title? It's tricking people into doing it! There's no rule against it, is there?

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but shudder, turning his head away, not daring to look directly at the man's face. But Di Shaoze's eyes were too intense, almost too intense to ignore—"Huai'en, I like you. I've liked you for ten years, ever since I first saw you. You haven't noticed yet... I've been hiding it well..."

Ten years of monarchy and subjection. To ask how familiar Lin Huai'en was with Di Shaoze, it was because he had seen every expression on Di Shaoze's face. He could almost imagine it as soon as the author wrote it.

As Lin Huai'en read this passage, the image of Di Shaoze's upturned, handsome eyes immediately appeared before his eyes, staring at him aggressively and fiercely...

"Baby... stop talking... I'm yours... um..." The forbidden words were woven into the man's warm kiss. Di Shaoze proved to Lin Huai'en with his actions that he was no longer the naive boy he once was, but a true man. His large hands reached up and tore open Lin Huai'en's shirt...

Lin Huai'en's lips trembled and he couldn't help but grab his collar, swallowing nervously. What should I do?

[The single piece of clothing falls to the ground. Lin Huai'en desperately protects himself, his lips trembling. Di Shaoze covers his eyes with his palms, offering soothing words but acting rudely...]

Aa ...

What have I seen! I am not clean anymore!

Lin Huai'en screamed in shock and dropped his books. He then dived into the bed and curled up tightly.

The outside world is full of lust and desire, and only his bed is still a little warm...
