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

Yin Mo was annoyed by the pile of pointless greetings in the memorials, but when he saw his silly younger brother holding hands with his husband and entering the palace, he knew that this kid was up to something again.

Sure enough, when Yin Cheng saw him, his first words were to offer him a reward.

Yin Mo sighed, "You're so aggressive, I thought you were going to rebel."

Yin Cheng thought about it carefully for a moment, "We'll start after you've finished approving the memorial."

Just kidding, there are mountains of memorials on this case, only a fool would choose this time to rebel.

"You're quite shrewd, always thinking about good things." Yin Mo summoned Xiao Anzi to prepare silk brocade, and began to write the imperial edict.

"Who should be banned?"

"Hua Yue, bestow the title of Princess upon Dang Dang."

Yin Mo had heard of this person before. He paused, his hand holding the pen still, and asked, "The young man you brought back from the border?"

"It's him."

Yin Mo frowned slightly. "Are you sure they are of the bloodline of the people of my Great Yin?"

The northern border had been in chaos for several years, with many people who could not afford to raise their children abandoning them. These abandoned infants, exiled within the territory of Dayin, were difficult to distinguish as either Dayin people or Yanru people.

"Who cares if he is or isn't, he was him when I found him."

Yin Mo thought about it and realized that made sense.

He then wrote the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Anzi, saying, "Send someone to present it to the Prince's Palace to announce the edict."

The eunuch received the decree and went ahead to deliver it.

After a while, Yin Mo looked up and saw his younger brother peeling walnuts for his husband. He placed two walnuts in his palm, squeezed them, and the fragrant and crispy walnut kernels were easily peeled out.

"They say it's a tribute item," Yin Cheng whispered to Lin Nian. "Try it and see if it's good. If it is, I'll sneak some back so we can eat it at home."

Lin Nian also muttered under her breath, "His Majesty isn't a stingy person, why would we steal from him?"

Yin Cheng lowered his voice, "If I ask him for it, he'll definitely scold me and say I'm idle." He paused, then added, "Even if he doesn't scold me for now because of you, he'll still have to make up for it later."

This means that the ruler of a country is vengeful, extremely so.

Lin Nian was both amused and exasperated. Men could be incredibly childish, and she didn't know how His Majesty could tolerate it for so long.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Yin Mo asked suspiciously. Shouldn't this newlywed couple be enjoying their sweet time together? What were they doing in his study?

Yin Cheng was greatly surprised. "Why didn't you invite me to stay for dinner?"

He stared in shock at his heartless brother. "You have another brother outside?"

Yin Mo suddenly smelled a faint medicinal fragrance.

"..." He glanced at the white-clad figure on the beam. He didn't know when the person had arrived, as there had been no sound.

"Ahem," Yin Mo said, "You're already married, how can you still have the nerve to freeload at your brother's place?"

Recalling his wife's cooking, Yin Cheng suddenly became calm, "You're right. I'm different from you; I have a husband."

Yin Mo was amused by his arrogant expression. "Get lost. Don't delay my review of the memorials."

Yin Cheng pouted, "Then I'll go back."

Lin Nian felt that it was already a great favor that her husband hadn't been severely beaten by His Majesty.

After Yin Cheng left, the man in white jumped down.

"Xiao Mo".

Yin Mo waved away the eunuchs serving him and asked, "Why are you here again?"

Bai Yuchen smiled and said, "You don't welcome me?"

Yin Mo wore a faint smile, clearly in a good mood. "Didn't you say you were going back to offer sacrifices to Heaven?"

"The ceremony is over," Bai Yuchen said. "I missed you so much that I couldn't bear it for even a second longer."

"I've never seen you this affectionate before." Yin Mo put down his pen and ink and went to greet him. "Looks like you really missed me."

Bai Yuchen embraced the emperor, who was half a head shorter than her, and gently kissed him on the lips. "When does Xiao Mo plan to give me a formal title?"

The tenderness vanished instantly. Yin Mo glanced away, not wanting the man to see the guilt in his eyes, "You know perfectly well that I..."

"You may not be able to marry into my Baishui City, but I can marry into your Da Yin," Bai Yuchen said. "The men of our Bai family have always been able to bend and stretch."

Yin Mo immediately felt a pang of heartache. "Don't talk nonsense. She's a city lord, how can she...marry out to someone else?"

He muttered to himself, "Besides, you're not a young master."

"I want to stay by Xiao Mo's side forever..." Bai Yuchen kissed the emperor's head. "I want to see my beloved anytime, anywhere, and I want to wake up every morning to find my beloved in my arms."

Yin Mo closed his eyes. "Give me a little more time... I will definitely make the Great Yin accept... a boy as emperor!"

"I want to... marry you openly and honestly."

Bai Yuchen chuckled, "I've always believed that my darling will be the most powerful emperor in the history of the Great Yin Dynasty."

Outside the palace gates, on the carriage returning to the Prince's residence, Yin Cheng skillfully pulled a handful of walnuts from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Nian.

Lin Nian: "..." This person really can't forget anything.

"He has plenty, we can take two without him noticing." Yin Cheng was shameless; he was a habitual offender of trying to freeload off his brother.

"When the fruit in our household ripens in the future, let's send some to His Majesty as a token of our appreciation."

"OK."

Lin Nian placed the walnut in the man's palm. "Squeeze it."

"Want a pinch? That's easy." Yin Cheng pinched the little beauty's cheek with his free hand. "I can grant you any request, no matter how unreasonable, because I love my husband."

shameless!

Lin Nian wanted to roll her eyes, but then thought it was really indecent.

He said with difficulty, "Walnuts, I want to eat them."

Yin Cheng crushed the walnuts and had the little beauty hold his hands, picking out the kernels to eat like a chick pecking at rice.

……

With September almost halfway over, the rivers are clear and the seas are calm, and the harvest is plentiful.

This year, apart from Jiangzhou suffering from severe flooding, most other areas have enjoyed a bumper harvest.

The emperor felt much better and had no other trivial matters to attend to, so he simply surrounded the royal hunting grounds and led a group of civil and military officials on an autumn hunt.

The autumn hunt was a lively affair, but it wasn't enough for just a group of men to hunt.

According to the emperor, it wasn't lively enough.

All family members could accompany them, as it was the closest mountain range to the capital, and there were people specifically in charge of managing it, driving away wild beasts and leaving only small deer and roe deer as prey, so it was considered safe.

In previous years, relatives and friends were not prohibited from accompanying the autumn hunt, and some military officers would bring their husbands and children to play.

Wild fruits ripened on the mountain, and the husbands enjoyed picking them.

The newly appointed top scholar, Lin Yunxu, was severely scorned by his entire family because he had no husband.

He was especially heartbroken by his eldest brother, who had just gotten married.

"Your archery skills are terrible. You can't even hit a moving target, let alone a target three zhang away from you."

The third son, his face flushed, retorted, "I'm a civil official! Do you understand?! My precious hands are for holding a pen, understand?!"

I really don't want to admit that this country bumpkin is my older brother.

The older brother replied dismissively, "Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy."

Third son: "..." I can't stay in this house anymore!
