“When you went to war, there was nothing I could do.” Comfortingly, Yan Xiaohan said, “Fortunately I later became the Imperial Investigator. When His Majesty was arranging a marriage for you, I was the first one he thought of. You see, this is what they call anything being attainable with sincere conviction.”

Most importantly, he was an invalid. Why could he pull out a knife just like that?

*What the heck do you mean? His knees are broken not his arms! 🙄

“I hope His Majesty will permit me to balance my achievement against his error and forgive my humble wife the fault of his inadequate protection.”
It was as if a bolt out of the blue had struck the roof of the Yan Manor. White-faced, he asked, “Lord Marquis…wh-what did you say…?”
FS said,smiling, “Hm? Was I unclear?”
He felt as if he heard a tremendous secret and would be silenced by YX that night.

“A good child who’s never done anything bad who suddenly does a bad thing one day and feels guilty about it then owns up the everything himself before anyone can even ask.”
Fu Shen really wanted to kick him.
That tactless scoundrel Yan Xiaohan couldn’t resist laughing again. “Listen, isn’t it exhausting being an upright gentleman? Hm?”

Bday party of the year! Gez

“Yan-xiong, will there be pufferfish served today?”
YZ, seeing that his manner was very earnest and he didn’t seem to be joking, froze, then said, “No. A poisonous food like that wouldn’t be served at an imperial family feast.”
“How strange,” FS said. “I just saw such a big one, all round and puffed up, standing on the steps glaring at me, and he even had his hands behind his back…”
🤣🤣

“Are you jealous? Tell the truth.”
Fu Shen sneered. “You think everyone is a jar of sour vinegar like you.“
Tan Xiaohan said, “Are you really not jealous? What would you do if I really did go dallying in brothels?“
Fu Shen smiled slightly and, in a whisper, asked in turn, “Yan-xiong, do you think I can’t hold a knife anymore?”
Yan Xiaohan didn’t answer.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by him [Yan Xiaohan] saw that he seemed to be deranged, laughing fit to chill a person to the bone, and kept far away from him in fear, not daring to appear in front of him, afraid lest they end up in trouble with him.

Fu Shen had suddenly grabbed his collar and dragged Yan Xiaohan up in front of him. He extended a finger and prodded the corner of his lips upward.
“From now on, I’ll only let you pick me up. If you’re not here I won’t bathe. Stop being jealous, all right?”
Yan Xiaohan froze. He unconsciously took Fu Shen’s hand in his own.

He was young and well favored, splendid as orchids and jade trees to begin with. This smile was like a thousand trees blossoming. It brightened the whole room. The baby also seemed to be delighted, wriggling around in his arms, trying to cling to him. Fu Shen hadn't thought that he would be so likeable to small children. He loosened his hold and let the child play around.
