Shen Shoufu shook off the emperor's hand in disgust, and looked at the emperor with a wary face, as if facing a young wife molested by a bully: "I have a beloved wife, two sons and a daughter. I have no interest in men. Your Majesty, please don't mess around."

The Emperor: "I have three thousand beauties in my harem, a dozen sons, and seven or eight daughters. Do I ever show off?"

“Why is the emperor holding on to Lachen’s hand?” Shen Shoufu swung his hands wildly. The emperor was like an octopus, grabbing his hands in all kinds of ways. If this wasn’t a perversion, what was it?

The emperor was furious: "Shen Bulin!"

Due to the emperor's majesty, Shen Shoufu lifted the hem of his robe, knelt humbly before the emperor, and hid his hands in his sleeves, not wanting to be noticed by the emperor.

The emperor laughed out loud: "Put your hand out."

Shen Shoufu happened to defend his innocence, and the emperor almost spat in his face: "Don't be narcissistic, if your hands were not useful, I would not want to pull your old hands, which are so rough, how can they compare to the concubines in the harem. Their hands are as smooth as pancreas, tender as tofu, and like scallions. Their little hands are soft when pinched. Isn't it beautiful?"

Shen Shoufu secretly curled his lips.

The emperor continued, "Do you know why I knew that the Imperial Concubine and Prince Lian were deceiving me when we caught them cheating that day?"

"Why?" Shen Shoufu was curious.

The emperor stared at him and held out his hand.

Shen Shoufu shook his head in rejection.

The emperor’s patience ran out, and he took action directly, as if a stinky gangster was holding Shen Shoufu’s hand and wouldn’t let go: “I can read your mind.”

Shen Shoufu suddenly stopped struggling and secretly controlled his thoughts of cursing so as not to be read out by the emperor. He admitted that he had indeed been very disrespectful to the emperor recently.

Wait, how come he can read minds too?

The emperor observed Shen Shoufu's expression: "Do you believe that I can read minds?"

"Your Majesty never jokes and would never lie to me." Is that true? Don't you have any idea about this?

“I knew you wouldn’t make a fuss like others.” The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Chief Minister Shen was not an ordinary person. If it were someone else, they would think he was talking in his sleep.

In fact, he was able to read minds that day and understand the thoughts of the Queen, Prince Lian, and the Royal Concubine.

Otherwise, you wouldn't know that people are treacherous and in their hearts, they think I'm a fool.

"Congratulations to the emperor for obtaining the extraordinary power." Shen Shoufu smiled wryly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows in triumph, then thought of something and his face fell again. "I originally thought that with the ability to read minds, I could know people's hearts and distinguish loyalties. Who knew that I could only hear the hearts of blood relatives?"

Shen Shoufu grasped the key point: "So, the emperor can't hear the hearts of his subjects?"

Emperor: "...You heard wrongly. I can hear the hearts of the people."

Shen Shoufu cursed and swore, who are you kidding, dog emperor, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, obviously not having read his mind.

Come to think of it, he could only read his daughter's mind, not his wife's or son's.

It is not inexplicable that the emperor can read the minds of his blood relatives.

Wait, the imperial concubine, the empress and the emperor are not related by blood, so how can they read it?

Is it kinship?

"Shen Shoufu, you are so bold!" The emperor said wildly, "You are disrespectful to me."

“Your Majesty, please understand. I dare not. If I am disrespectful to Your Majesty in my heart, please make it clear so that I can be convinced.” Shen Shoufu was not fooled. If the emperor could really read his mind, how could he not know that he was calling the emperor a dog emperor, a tyrant, a stupid emperor, and a cuckold emperor?

The sullen emperor suddenly laughed to ease the awkwardness: "Let's get back to the point. I remember that I gained the ability to read minds after pulling Prime Minister Shen's hand, but after an incense stick, it disappeared. Do you know what happened?"

Shen Shoufu was surprised that there was another situation?

"I don't know."

"So, you have to cooperate with me." The emperor explained his purpose.

Shen Shoufu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his innocence was preserved.

Later, their hands were almost torn apart. The concubines in the harem, the favored beauties, and the princes and princesses lined up to pay their respects to the emperor and have him read their minds, but he could not read a single person's mind.

The emperor did not give up and met with the queen.

Still no voice.

The emperor frowned: "What's going on? Why is it not working?"

Shen Shoufu recalled what happened that day and raised his eyebrows slightly: “Why don’t we try again tomorrow?”

The emperor could only do this. After all, it was dark, and no outsiders were allowed in the palace. He waved his hand and told Shen Shoufu to get out.

When Shen Shoufu returned home, he saw his lovely daughter playing on the swing in the yard. He walked over with a smile: “Yan Bao, Daddy is back!”

Yan Bao smiled and jumped off the swing. He took a clattering step with his short legs and ran towards Chief Minister Shen in a cute manner: "Daddy is back. We can finally have dinner. If Daddy doesn't come back soon, I'll starve!"

Chief Minister Shen felt distressed and touched her belly specially, and deliberately said: "Are you hungry? Your stomach is flat. It's bad that Daddy was delayed by something. Let's go home and have dinner."

[Sure enough, father and daughter are connected by heart. Daddy knows I'm hungry. Daddy is so nice!] Yan Bao can't speak, but she knows how to capture the hearts of adults. If she shows dependence and affection towards them, they will immediately soften their hearts and be reluctant to leave her.

I wish all the delicious food and drinks could be given to myself.

The same goes for her dad.

Yan Bao: [Daddy kiss!]

Yan Bao smacked his father on the face.

Shen Shoufu, whose Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened, paused. He finally understood what was going on. Whether it was exactly as he imagined, he could only wait until tomorrow to try it out.

After dinner, Yan Bao ate a lot and his belly was bulging.

Chief Minister Shen took her out for a walk and talked to Madam Shen about the situation at home.

Madam Shen said, "It will be the birthday of the old lady of Duke Xin in a few days. I will take Yan Bao to celebrate her birthday then."
