After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Yin Cheng felt very happy when he heard the words "go home".

However, he remained rational, thinking, "I still have to go back to Caixia City, and I probably won't be able to go back this year."

Yin Mo sighed softly, "I was thinking of arranging a marriage for you after you went back."

He asked, "What kind of boy do you like?"

At this moment, Yin Cheng had no thoughts of love or romance; all he could think about was how to destroy the Yan Ru Kingdom.

He casually made up a story, "A slim waist, a perky butt, and naturally alluring and seductive."

Yin Mo: "..."

Yin Mo: "Get out of here while I'm still in a good mood."

Look at the Emperor of Great Yin, his respected elder brother, he's being so unreasonable.

Yin Cheng whispered, "You're going to ask again."

Yin Mo glared at him.

The younger brother immediately became obedient, "Okay, okay, I'll marry a virtuous, conservative, and introverted woman."

Yin Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hit his younger brother. "Fine, you can choose your own king in the future."

-----------------

After his trip to Yunzhou came to an end, Yin Cheng returned to the northern border.

Yin Mo promoted several officials to reorganize the navy, and it was three months later when he returned to the capital.

Bai Yuchen held Yin Mo and sighed softly, "You're finally back."

Yin Mo kissed the man. "Did you miss me?"

Bai Yuchen said, "I thought you would ask about the recent state of affairs first."

Yin Mo curled his lip, "You are more important than court politics."

"I like hearing that." Bai Yuchen pinched Yin Mo's waist, her voice was soft, but the worry in it was clear. "You've lost weight."

In this world, perhaps only men can tell whether he has gained or lost weight.

Yin Mo chuckled, "It's alright, I'll make up for it in two days."

"Xiao Mo, I feel so sorry for you." Bai Yuchen always spoke very bluntly, but His Majesty the Emperor's actions were even more direct.

He pushed the man onto the dragon bed, saying, "Lord Bai, then please be gentle with me."

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch An silently moved a few steps towards the outside of the courtyard, then a few more.

The chief steward of the imperial court lives on thin ice every day!

-----------------

Two years later, King Yin Cheng returned victorious.

Yin Mo invited Prince Yu to organize a gathering, inviting eligible young men from the capital to a banquet in the Imperial Garden.

The emperor originally had a few candidates in mind for his younger brother, Wang Jun, but his brother just happened to take a fancy to the frail youngest son of the Lin family.

In order to regain military power in the southwest, Yin Mo specially chose the twins Lin Si and Lin Wu because he saw that the Lin family had a shallow foundation in the capital and had no connection with the powerful families.

With a clean family background, they are easy to control. As long as we keep Lord Lin in check, these twins will never rebel.

He had too many schemes against the Lin family.

Yin Mo could never tell his younger brother about all the sordid things that happened here.

He has to keep it a secret.

I would rather die than tell my brother.

So he had to tell his younger brother that if he wanted to marry the youngest son of the Lin family, he would have to pursue him himself.

Surprisingly, this kid actually managed to catch up with her.

Since they would eventually become family, Yin Mo thought that perhaps he should help the Lin family join the ranks of prominent families.

Later, when Jiangzhou was flooded, Yin Mo was not only worried about the people of Jiangzhou, but also about someone in Baishui City.

Baishui City is separated from Jiangzhou by only a line. If Jiangzhou suffers from floods, Baishui City will certainly not fare much better.

However, Baishui City is located on higher ground, so it won't be flooded in the short term.

After much deliberation, Yin Mo decided to write a letter to Bai Yuchen.

Firstly, to confirm his safety; secondly, because a plague is bound to break out after a flood, his presence would surely turn the danger into safety.

Yin Mo had too many worries in his heart, and he always had many concerns when facing Bai Yuchen.

Bai Yuchen always took whatever he asked for, never asking for anything in return.

That is why Yin Mo was filled with trepidation.

He feared that Bai Yuchen would one day abandon him, and that Bai Yuchen's favoritism towards him was nothing more than a promise between elders to protect him.

That night, Yin Mo sat alone in the courtyard, gazing into the southwest.

Nothing could be seen except for the thick, dark clouds.

Xiao Anzi held an umbrella for him, saying, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Yin Mo suddenly asked, "What do you think he's doing right now?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Anzi knew that His Majesty was missing Lord Bai.

He cautiously replied, "Lord Bai must also be overwhelmed with worries about the flood."

Yin Mo chuckled softly.

Xiao Anzi quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it was this servant who spoke out of turn."

"This rain has been going on for too long." Yin Mo stood up. "The rainwater is cold, you should get up."

Xiao Anzi was filled with trepidation. Even though he had followed His Majesty for so many years, he still couldn't fathom His Majesty's thoughts at all.

The letter to Bai Yuchen must not be seen by a third person.

If this gets out, Yin Mo will surely face annihilation.

An emperor, a young man disguised as a prince, writes love letters to another prince, who is also the ruler of a border power.

He can't afford to gamble.

The only person he trusted was his younger brother.

-----------------

After the flood, Yin Mo was surprised to find that Bai Yuchen had also come to the capital.

In previous years, we rarely had the chance to meet.

At first, Yin Mo was already content with spending one or two months together each year.

Human desires are endless. Today, one might think that being able to eat one's fill is enough, but tomorrow one might think about having a stable place to live. Once one is free from worries about food and clothing, one might then care about whether one is happy every day and whether one has enough wealth...

Yin Mo was becoming increasingly dissatisfied. He wanted Bai Yuchen to come with him regardless of everything, and he also wanted to go with Bai Yuchen regardless of everything.

But he has his responsibilities, and Bai Yuchen also has his responsibilities.

They had so few opportunities to meet that when Yin Mo saw him, she instinctively rushed over and hugged the man tightly.

"Why are you here?"

"I missed you," Bai Yuchen said. "Don't worry, the plague in Jiangzhou has been brought under control. That Lord Zhao is a rare and excellent official."

Yin Mo leaned in and kissed the man's lips. "You've already mentioned these things in your letter, Yu Chen. We should talk about something else. Like... want me."

Just as their lips were touching, a tender moment of intimacy was shattered by an untimely voice.

"Brother! I have something important to tell you—"

Startled, Yin Mo instinctively pushed the man away.

Although he's quite open-minded around men... he's still a guy at heart, and not that thick-skinned.

Lord Bai was pushed by her husband and bumped into the edge of the bed with a crisp sound.

Yin Mochong gave him an apologetic smile, then immediately put on a stern face and looked speechlessly at his brainless younger brother.

After all that talk, it turns out they were going to the Lin family to propose marriage.

After his younger brother left, Yin Mo sighed, kissed Bai Yuchen on the cheek, and then summoned people from the Imperial Observatory to calculate the auspicious date.

Yin Mo changed into his outer robe, only to hear Bai Yuchen ask with a half-smile, "How does Xiao Mo plan to make it up to me?"

Yin Mo said, "That depends on what Lord Bai wants."

"I remember the Empress's palace has a fountain, right?" Bai Yuchen said. "Why don't you play in the water with me, Xiao Mo?"

Yin Mo leaned over and kissed Bai Yuchen again, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
