Chapter 2046 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (35)

After hesitating for a moment, he decisively took the wolf-hair brush.

I wonder what will happen if I use this pen to depict Jinjin's "pen"?

That day, Shen Linyuan felt that he had probably gone mad.

Si Jin's tears fell onto his arm, which was covered with tiny scars.

He held the "puppet emperor" he had spoiled for three years in his arms, whose eyes were red as he reached for his hand.

But the evil impulses just keep growing stronger in the depths of one's heart.

He lowered his head, cleverly trapping the emperor's hand on the golden dragon embroidery on the edge of the brocade quilt, deceiving the emperor and speaking seductively: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, I haven't finished teaching you yet, there is still much for you to learn."

Later, Si Jin didn't even have the strength to resist anymore.

Each time he heard the name "Chen Linyuan," it made his heart melt.

He really enjoyed listening to it.

Then, he was forced to kneel on the cobblestones of the emperor's sleeping quarters.

You may not get up without permission.

After finally managing to kneel and get the Emperor's request for berries, Shen Linyuan's eyes sharpened, and he immediately got up to make them, showing more enthusiasm than the eunuchs and palace maids.

She thought she could take the opportunity to ask for a kiss again, but before she could even see the little emperor, Meizi was taken away by Eunuch Liu.

The regent had no choice but to return to his residence in tears, leaving him alone in his empty room.

Shen Linyuan knew that he had angered the person. Si Jin did not summon him, and he dared not enter the palace rashly. He could only stay at his residence in depression.

This vigil lasted for a full five days.

It was Granny Qi who first noticed something was wrong and brought some refreshments to comfort him: "Your Highness, are you angry with His Majesty?"

The twenty-seven-year-old regent's furrowed brows, which to outsiders mostly appeared as cold and unapproachable, but in Qi Mama's eyes, it transformed into a look of grievance.

The old man, who was over fifty, laughed out loud. After chatting with Shen Linyuan for a while, he advised again: "Over the years, you have held onto military power. Jinjin is the emperor. Even if he doesn't say anything, do you really think he doesn't care?"

"In my humble opinion, why don't you take the tiger tally and try to appease them? Perhaps..."

Seemingly surprised by Granny Qi's words, Shen Linyuan immediately reminded her, "Granny, that's something our Shen family has held for generations. You used to tell me that I couldn't lose the tiger tally even if it cost me my life. Aren't you worried?"

"Don't worry." Granny Qi smiled. "Over the years, His Majesty has treated our Shen family well and the military officers well. This old servant has seen it all. He is different from the late Emperor, so we don't need to put on a show of strength."

"Besides, this old servant is doing this for your happiness, and you're still not happy?"

Granny Qi turned around, removed the hand from Shen Linyuan's shoulder, and said with a hint of tantrum, "Since you don't know how to cherish him, then this old servant will find His Majesty other men, plenty of them younger and prettier than you..."

"Granny, Granny, I was wrong, please don't." Shen Linyuan hurriedly admitted his mistake, his fingertips unconsciously falling on the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

He hid the tiger tally inside his jade pendant, carrying it close to his body every day: "I'm just waiting for him to ask me for it."

Granny Qi: ?

Shen Linyuan: "You don't understand. Jinjin is very strong-willed. He can use his abilities to get the Tiger Tally from me and weaken my military power, but... I can't give the Tiger Tally to him after we've been intimate."

“The tiger tally given in that way would be corrupted; it might even become like payment for prostitution, a humiliation, which he wouldn’t like.”

“But…” Granny Qi was still worried: “I’m afraid you’ll be punished and heartbroken.”

"As a subject, it's nothing to suffer a little grievance for the sake of the king."

As her husband, he was happy to endure some hardship for her sake.

… …

It was two months later when Si Jin's anger completely subsided.

With the arrival of summer, the palace not only gained Shen Linyuan, but also the eldest prince, Nangong Siyi.

What's even more infuriating is that as soon as the eldest prince returned, rumors spread throughout the palace that the puppet emperor had submitted to the regent in order to gain military power.

The eldest prince, leaning on a cane, stood at the palace gate like an old woman from the village, cracking melon seeds and engaging in a heated discussion with someone.

"He'd throw away his dignity for military power. What can I do? My second brother is a disgrace. Forget military power, he even got the throne by sleeping with people!"
