Faced with their demands, Jiang Jin coldly asked himself if he had done well what he had been told to do. If he hadn't done well, why would he have so much time to care about his family affairs? If he didn't want to work, he could resign. The country wouldn't be unable to function without them. There were plenty of people who wanted to become officials in the court.

After that, no one dared to mention the selection of concubines again. However, they didn't dare to mention it in front of Jiang Jin, but instead secretly put pressure on Wan Ge.

…

Although Wan Ge was very unwilling, what they said was true, and even the eldest princess began to persuade her.

Wan Ge also felt that it was her own fault, which was why she hadn't had children for so long.

After hesitating, she listened to them and took the initiative to approach Jiang Jin, urging him to take in more concubines.

Since misunderstanding that she had run away from the wedding, Jiang Jin had not lost his temper with her. However, he lost his temper again when Wan Ge brought it up.

He slammed his hand on the table, staring at Wan Ge in disbelief: "What did you just say?"

Wan Ge was a little startled, her fingertips trembling slightly, but she still repeated what she had just said: "Your Majesty, please expand your harem."

Jiang Jin's fingers tightened slightly as he tried to calm himself down. After struggling to compose himself, he asked in a soft voice, "Isn't it those old guys putting pressure on you? Don't be afraid!"

Seeing him like this, Wan Ge felt even more guilty. His Majesty had been so good to her, and she really couldn't let His Majesty suffer so much because of her own selfishness.

So she lowered her head and replied, "No, these are my heartfelt words."

Jiang Jin couldn't hold back any longer. He threw all the crumpled items on the table, including the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, onto the ground: "Fine, very fine! Everyone else wishes their husbands wouldn't stray, but you! You're pushing me out there."

Jiang Jin turned and left immediately after the audition, leaving Wan Ge standing there at a loss.

…

In the middle of the night, Wan Ge was half asleep when she was suddenly pressed down on by someone. She could smell a faint smell of alcohol on the other person, and her brows furrowed slightly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of beautiful hats.

Jiang Jin's deep eyes held a hint of hurt, his eyes slightly reddening, clearly showing his grievance: "Why did you push me to another woman? Don't you like me anymore? Do you want to leave me?"

The pain of three years, the separation of five years, and the itch of seven years.

Has she already grown tired of him? Or is he just too busy with work and neglected his feelings?

Jiang Jin spent the whole day reflecting on himself, wondering if he had done something wrong. But after reflecting for a long time, he still couldn't find anything wrong with himself. The only thing he could think of was whether she was already tired of him.

Wan Ge quickly shook her head. How could she not like him? She just liked him too much.

Jiang Jin lowered his head and kissed her, not allowing her to push him away; he didn't want to hear any more.

"If I don't give you much free time to think, will you stop overthinking?"

Jiang Jin worked incredibly hard all night, and the next day, Wan Ge slept soundly for the entire day. When she woke up, it was already evening.

Feeling a bit dizzy, but still remembering Jiang Jin who seemed off last night, Wan Ge had mixed feelings. After hesitating for a while, she had some food prepared and carried it to the Imperial Study herself.

She saw the imperial physician enter the imperial study from afar, and feeling a little worried, she quickly followed without letting the physician notice.
