After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 135 The Minister of War was remarkably broad-minded.

If it weren't for the presence of others, the old emperor would have loved to give Shen Zhiyi's head a good wash.

I don't know what he's thinking all day.

This is the first time I've seen Consort Wen. The old emperor has so many beautiful women in his harem, yet she visits so infrequently.

[I strongly suggest there be more of these in the future. I don't want to see those big, strong men every day; I want to see sweet, soft, and lovely older women too!]

The old emperor snorted coldly, "Dream on."

Consort Wen smiled faintly.

She met Shen Zhiyi during the Chinese New Year.

This child only knows how to eat, and when he does look up, it's only to watch the fireworks in the sky. He's a very honest and simple child.

[However, this Consort Wen seems rather quiet. Well, she certainly doesn't love the old emperor; looking at his aged face, she's unlikely to say anything.]

Consort Wen glanced at the old emperor in a panic.

The old emperor continued eating, seemingly unconcerned.

He's not made of silver or gold. It would be a miracle if all those women in his harem genuinely loved him.

[It turns out that Consort Wen has someone she likes.]

Consort Wen panicked again.

Princess Wenhui stared in shock at her birth mother.

Let me see which one I like?

Shen Zhiyi was in high spirits, and Zhang Sheren was also in high spirits.

We have material for unofficial historical accounts!

Good heavens, it's actually the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor!

"Cough cough cough."

The old emperor choked.

You should know that the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor was even older than him, and was of the same generation as Prime Minister Wang.

The old emperor looked at Consort Wen in surprise, never expecting that his concubine would have such a taste.

Princess Wenhui also looked at her birth mother in surprise.

If Shen Zhiyi hadn't been there, she would have loved to ask the other person on the spot.

What exactly did you see in that old man?!

The Crown Prince's Grand Tutor was a great literary figure, and Consort Wen had always admired him. Over time, this admiration took a different turn, evolving into affection. She even sought out the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor before entering the palace.

[She said: Sir, my daughter likes you. If you also feel even a little bit of liking for her, then I won't enter this palace.]

This terrified the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor. He had a nightmare that day, fearing the old emperor would find out and think he was coveting his woman.

Consort Wen's beautiful eyes revealed a hurt expression.

She never imagined that the one time she finally mustered up the courage in her life would cause such a huge problem for the other party.

Princess Wenhui never expected her birth mother to be so impulsive.

[The Crown Prince and Grand Tutor kept this matter a secret. The age difference between him and Consort Wen was even greater than that of the old emperor. For him to truly like a young girl would be like an old cow eating young grass—he couldn't bring himself to do it.]

The old emperor found these words rather strange.

I have a feeling that Shen Zhiyi is subtly putting him down again.

[Moreover, the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor and his wife are a match made in heaven; they are each other's first love. The Crown Prince's Grand Tutor only has his wife in his household, and she is indeed better than the old emperor. No wonder Consort Wen likes her, even disregarding the huge age difference.]

Shen Zhiyi pondered for a moment.

No, no, the age gap is too big. I just can't stomach it.

The old emperor, who had an excellent appetite, was now finding it difficult to eat.

After quickly eating a few bites, he led Shen Zhiyi and the others back to Yanying Hall to continue reviewing memorials.

After everyone left, Princess Wenhui looked at her birth mother with disapproval.

"Mother, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Nobody knows about this."

"That……"

Princess Wenhui was speechless.

At the time, there were only the Crown Prince's tutor and Consort Wen, and neither of them spoke of it. Who would have thought that Shen Zhiyi would suddenly appear?

"Oh no, oh no, Father Emperor will probably have some complaints about us mother and daughter in the future."

"Oh."

Consort Wen didn't care about this; whether the Emperor came or not didn't matter to her. She just regretted not being able to see Shen Zhiyi.

That child's thoughts were quite interesting; you could find a lot of amusement in them.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi, who had returned to Yanying Hall, suddenly felt dizzy as she looked at the old emperor who was constantly reviewing memorials.

She closed her eyes and silently recited in her heart.

You can't see me, you can't see me.

By the way, let me see what's going on between my cheapskate brother and that drunkard we picked up last night.

The old emperor paused in reviewing the memorials. Had Shen Zhiyi picked up a drunkard last night?

He leaned to the side to listen to what was going on.

【Holy shit! 】

Shen Zhiyi, who was originally going to check the surveillance footage of the drunkard, accidentally found something else.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

[My goodness, hahaha, you're really something else, Minister of War!]

[Last night, the Ministry of War's Chief Clerk and Assistant Minister, what happened next?]

Shen Zhiyi couldn't wait to share it with someone, but there was no one.

uncomfortable.

Wow, this melon is huge! I'm definitely going to tell my parents and my older brother when I get back.

Everyone: ? ? ? No, it's the same if you say it here. Say it now, don't wait until you go back. What will they listen to if you go back? Are you expecting them to squat on Shen Zhiyi's wall and listen?

But when they thought of what was on Shen Zhiyi's courtyard wall, everyone fell silent.

No, no, Shen Zhiyi, you have to tell me now.

Of course, Shen Zhiyi was also someone who couldn't keep things bottled up; even if she couldn't say it to outsiders, she had to keep it to herself.

Last night, the Ministry of War official drank a whole vat of wine. He didn't feel anything at the time, but later he became quite drunk.

[I remember it was a Ministry of War official who liked to run naked when he was drunk, and it was a gift from him to the Ministry of War's assistant minister. At the time, I thought the Ministry of War official was truly magnanimous, with a heart as big as a prime minister's.]

Everyone: Huh?

They weren't there last night and don't know what happened.

[Your wife and the official in charge of the Ministry of War are childhood sweethearts. I thought you really didn't mind, but it turns out you don't mind at all.]

The Ministry of War official did not escort the Vice Minister of War to his own home, but instead took him to his own residence.

Everyone:! ! !

They don't really understand what's going on.

[After delivering it to his home, his wife had already gone to bed. As a result...]

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath.

【Awesome.】

[In the end, instead of lying in your wife's bed, you left the Ministry of War official in your wife's bed.]

[Furthermore, the Ministry of War official wasn't completely drunk; upon touching the fragrant, soft jade beside him, he immediately became somewhat aroused.]

"Oh my god."

Having spent a lot of time with Shen Zhiyi, Zhang Sheren couldn't help but imitate Shen Zhiyi's catchphrase.

This is absolutely outrageous.

The scene was so spectacular that Shen Zhiyi was completely absorbed and didn't even notice the reactions of those around her.

The expressions on their faces were very subtle.

The actions of the Ministry of War official were not unheard of, but they still seemed somewhat outrageous.

[The current chief clerk in the Ministry of War is threatening the assistant minister in the Ministry of War, saying that he won't be of much help to his career in the future. We should tell his wife about this.]
