During the day, the officials knelt on the ground, not eating a single bite of food, and that evening they received a return gift from Yan Heng.

Water that is too clear has no fish.

Yan Heng was good at recognizing and utilizing people's talents. He would turn a blind eye to the flaws of some people. But if they dared to offend him, he would show them no mercy.

Many people couldn't sleep that night.

Yan Heng gave them two options: either be good officials or have their past misdeeds investigated and punished.

Even a fool knows which option to choose.

The commotion subsided just like that.

The coronation ceremony was held with great pomp and circumstance. Yan Heng was determined not to let Jiang Tian suffer the slightest grievance.

Jiang Tian remained calm throughout.

When night fell and they were alone, they lingered for a long time before Jiang Tian finally confided in him: "I don't care whether I can be empress or not. But if you let me be empress, I will naturally do my best."

Jiang Tian looked at him intently and said, "Actually, the one I care about most is you."

Yan Heng only needed this one sentence from her.

Some people, once you meet them, are destined to be together for life.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the child has grown up.

Yan Heng put a lot of effort into teaching their child.

Actually, he is the most impatient with children, and he is very strict with this child.

But he just happens to love playing the victim.

Before Yan Heng even stepped into the hall, he saw a little boy nestled in Jiang Tian's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

As Jiang Tian wiped away his tears, she smiled and asked him, "Is Father Emperor that fierce?"

"Yes, he... he hit my palm with a ruler..."

The little child looked like a jade doll, and was especially similar to Yan Heng.

Yan Heng felt a pang of sympathy for him. But once he made up his mind, he wouldn't waver for anyone.

When Yan Heng saw that the boy hadn't memorized the essay he had assigned and was instead trying to play the victim with his mother, he was furious.

Seeing him approaching, little Yan He didn't even bother to greet him before running away as fast as he could.

Yan Heng was furious.

He didn't chase after them, but Jiang Tian persuaded him to stop.

Jiang Tian has become increasingly beautiful in recent years, while Yan Heng has a more imposing presence and doesn't look like he's in his twenties at all.

"Are you protecting him?" Yan Heng couldn't help but ask.

He would be furious if his wife didn't take his side.

Jiang Tian glanced at him several times, then suddenly burst into laughter, unable to stop even after lying in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I never thought you would be so angry at a child."

Yan Heng was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Tian and Yan Heng agreed that Yan Heng would be responsible for the child's education, while Jiang Tian would be responsible for his daily life.

Yan Heng believed he should be a good father, so of course he would be strict with his children.

Jiang Tian would only pretend to protect him each time, but in reality, Yan He was beaten just as much as he had been beaten.

But in his heart, his mother was good and his father was bad.

Yan Heng naturally knew this, but he didn't care.

He preferred to be a strict father.

Jiang Tian touched his face: "If you get angry because of the child, he will hurt you sooner or later. Get angry less, and you will live longer."

Yan Heng held her hand, suddenly made up his mind, and said to her, "We won't have a child anymore. Yan He is enough."

Jiang Tian blinked: "Are you driven crazy by him?"

Yan Heng was naturally angry. Raising a child is difficult, and he didn't raise him as carelessly as his father. He wanted his child to experience the affection he had missed.

But that requires a great deal of effort.

With court duties to attend, intimate moments with Jiang Tian to attend, and time to educate the children, it's no wonder Yan Heng is exhausted.

If another one comes, he'll probably be exhausted.
