"I am just an ordinary person."

"Power is a fascinating thing."

Chi Yuan glanced at Shen Yulou lightly.

That look in his eyes is so honest.

"And then what? Just because you like power?"

Shen Yulou pursed his lips and pondered along with Chi Yuan's words.

"More than that, I believe that the Sheng Dynasty will not find a second person more suitable than myself to govern this vast country."

Wow, you're so confident!

Looking at the charming man at that moment, Shen Meiren suddenly regretted slapping him so hard.

That swollen face is really ruining the atmosphere!

His Majesty the Emperor was completely smitten by Shen Yulou's gaze.

I feel completely lost.

Power is a double-edged sword; it depends on how you use it.

"Don't worry, maybe the late emperor will be very satisfied with you if he sees how well you've managed the Sheng Dynasty."

"After all, without the two of us, the late emperor would have had no children."

“Even if a child from the imperial clan is chosen as the crown prince, he will still have no blood relation to him.”

"That's not quite right."

Chi Yuan patted Shen Yulou on the shoulder.

"After all, the children of the royal family still have some of the Chi family bloodline."

"Then how do you know you don't have it on you?"

Shen Yulou countered with a question.

Chi Yuan wanted to retort, but Shen Yulou's next words left him speechless.

"How do you know that our mother has never had an affair with someone from the imperial family?"

Chi Yuan: "..."

Okay, now everyone in the world is my dad.

"Can't speak anymore, huh?"

Shen Meiren was satisfied, beaming with joy like a satiated fox.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back."

He got up, dusted off his clothes, and prepared to return to the Prince of Jin's residence.

Chi Yuan immediately grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong? You're reluctant to part with me?"

Shen Meiren placed her slender fingertips on Chi Yuan's chin, trying hard to make him look up at her.

"Well, let's not watch it."

His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat embarrassed.

My current face isn't really suited for this kind of face-framing flirting technique.

"If you're not going to look, then I'm leaving."

Shen Meiren turned around and left without hesitation.

"Hey, hey, hey, no! Stay with me a little longer."

Chi Yuan pulled the person back with force.

"I'm not going to stay with you. I'm going back to eat steamed buns."

"You know what? I love eating the steamed buns from the Prince of Jin's residence the most."

"After eating, I felt as hard as the steamed buns in the Prince of Jin's mansion, and I could kill someone with a single punch."

Seeing Chi Yuan's reluctant departure, Shen Yulou naturally pressed his advantage and began to settle old scores.

Chi Yuan gave an embarrassed smile and began to admit his mistake.

"It was my fault. I shouldn't have given you steamed buns."

"Dinner will be served in my palace tonight. I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare a delicious meal for you."

"I! Won't! Eat!"

"I want to eat the steamed buns from the Prince of Jin's residence."

Seeing that he couldn't shake it off, Shen Yulou simply shoved the steamed bun in his hand into Chi Yuan's mouth.

"Hmm!"

Fear appeared in Chi Yuan's eyes.

This steamed bun has been smashed in so many places!

What a terrifying steamed bun!

It's salty, and um, it's also quite bitter.

He struggled to spit out the steamed bun.

"Why are you spitting it out? Don't you like the steamed buns from my Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Just as Shen Meiren was about to catch the steamed bun that Chi Yuan spat out, someone beat her to it.

It's a baby.

The little guy happily stretched out his two paws and caught the falling steamed bun.

He wants to try everything his dads eat!

"Hey hey hey!"

The little guy slid off Shen Yulou's arms in an instant, just to chase after the falling steamed bun.

The two husbands couldn't hold on with their four hands; the little guy, like a little fish, bumped his head on the steamed bun.

"We're doomed!"

Chi Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and he and Shen Yulou seemed to freeze in place, their movements stiff.

The little guy paused for a moment on Chi Yuan's lap, then burst into tears.

It hurts so much, waaaaaah!

"Where did you bump into something? Okay, Daddy will rub it for you, don't cry."

Shen Yulou picked up the child and rubbed his forehead.

The little guy was crying his heart out.
