Chapter 1884

After seeing off the old Daoist, Ye Yuchi returned to Luochun Courtyard and felt much more relaxed; the remaining worries and doubts in his heart vanished completely.

Regardless of how well Ye Zining's birth characters matched those of the previous life's Young Master Jin.

What belongs to him is only Jin Chen.

This is the greatest reward of being reborn.

Ye Yuchi felt happy inside, but it didn't show on his face; he still clung to Jin Chen as usual.

But when it was noon time to rest, Jin Chen had just passed through the corridor into the Bamboo Pavilion when he saw Ye Yuchi changed into cool inner clothes, sitting cross-legged on the bed, fussing with something, muttering, his expression unusually serious.

Jin Chen recognized it as prayer slips or the like, found it interesting, so he stepped back a bit, looked from outside the window for a while, and listened carefully to his husband's murmuring.

"Huh?"

Ye Yuchi didn't hear the movement, but he smelled a faint sandalwood brought in by the summer afternoon breeze.

He lifted his head to look outside, saw no one, and said, "Husband?"

"Mm-hmm."

Jin Chen walked in with a smile, smiling amusingly.

"I didn't realize when Ah Ci also started liking to collect prayer tablets."

Ye Yuchi's beautiful eyes were bright, he also felt a bit embarrassed, but he didn't hide it.

"It was I who, a few days ago, had Luyi go to the temple on East Mountain to ask for it; at that time your health wasn't good either, I thought..."

Ye Yuchi's explaining tone paused, he gently kissed Jin Chen's lip corner, then continued: "I thought the birth characters of the person who entered the marriage to ward off bad luck would still have some effect."

But after hearing the various explanations from the old Daoist with a cow's nose, Ye Yuchi's heart was completely put at ease.

Jin Chen drew out an 'uh' sound, casually picked up a prayer tablet, and played with it in his palm for a while.

"It seems my Ah Ci still lacks a sense of security."

Jin Chen suddenly lunged forward, kissing him densely; Ye Yuchi's waist lay on the prayer tablets spread on the bamboo couch, which didn't hurt but gave a strange feeling.

These prayer tablets bearing his worries and wishes had hung on the temple's sacred tree for a long time; although they ultimately weren't used, now every vein and corner was especially clear.

Ye Yuchi let out a soft moan from his throat; as their ears rubbed, his thin inner robe was easily pulled open, his ear trembled when bitten, and he heard Jin Chen lower his voice with ill intent.

"This way, will Ah Ci feel more secure? This is much more useful than just hanging it up to look at."

Saying that, Ye Yuchi felt the prayer tablet pressing against his waist even more present, angrily pushed Jin Chen's shoulder, saying, "This way my waist hurts..."

Jin Chen made an 'oh' sound, perhaps he had listened.

Then he lifted Ye Yuchi up and changed his position, covering the prayer tablets with a thin blanket; Ye Yuchi knelt sitting within, only able to rely on Jin Chen's arm for support, his soft hum broken by kisses.

Luochun Courtyard afternoon was tranquil; the Bamboo Pavilion was also cool and secluded, the room even had a large block of ice, who knows how much cooler than the outside rooms.

Even so, it couldn't withstand the rolling heat wave; many prayer wooden tablets fell as they swayed; Ye Yuchi initially could still divert attention to pick them up, but soon his attention was completely drawn away.

Sense of security, it couldn't be any more.

——

It had been nearly a month since Jin Yu Dong and the imperial envoy returned to the capital to report to the emperor.

Not knowing what the palace's secret guards had discovered among the populace, the emperor actually realized that Jin Chen had assisted from the side, or rather, in exposing Prince Li's rebellion plot, he was the greatest contributor.

The emperor dealt with Prince Li, and specially ordered Jin Yu Dong to summon his younger brother Jin Chen to the capital for merit and reward.

But Jin Yu Dong fobbed it off with the excuse that "the younger brother at home has been frail since childhood and likely cannot endure the journey to the capital; please forgive His Majesty."

In fact, Jin Yu Dong's choice was not wrong.

Upon hearing the reason, the emperor not only wasn't angry, but generously sent someone by express horse to deliver an imperial edict overnight to the Jin residence in Chuan Ze Cheng.

"The emperor asked me what I wanted."

Jin Chen was called up early in the morning, still half-asleep, heard this sentence, and looked at his husband blankly.

"Yes, Chen'er, you now have your own opinion; what do you think of this?" Ji Ji De asked.

"By the way, what good opinions does the master have?"

Master Shu pondered for a moment, then said: "Old Master, didn't the Young Master's reply say that the emperor heard the Young Master couldn't enter the capital, yet didn't pursue it?"

"Perhaps... he is suspicious, fearing that great achievements would overshadow the ruler."

Qiao Yan Pei was somewhat surprised, 'If that's the case, then this really isn't something you can just casually request.'

Although it appears to be a reward casually granted by an imperial edict, it is actually a test of the Jin Family.

There are many twists and turns.

Jin Chen thought that this kind of person is suitable to be emperor.

He read the imperial edict several times, and suddenly had an idea.

'Father, let me borrow your Study's four treasures of the study for a moment!'

Ji Ji De was still immersed in the disappointment of the emperor now having vigilance toward the Jin Family, and he unconsciously uttered an 'uh', only reacting a few seconds later.

'You brat! You're wasting my precious ink again!'

No one in the Jin Family, including Ye Yucai, knew what letter Jin Chen had written that day.

But after another roughly half month, Jin Yu Dong, who had been worried for a long time, returned to the Jin Manor with another imperial edict.

This time it was good news.

'The imperial edict has arrived——'

Jin Yu Dong, seated high on his horse, read the edict, unable to hide a subtle smile on his face.

After hearing everything, Ye Yucai's mouth slightly opened in surprise, and she actually felt a bit at a loss.

'A… a marriage grant.'

Jin Chen laughed as he rose with him, wrapped his arms around Ye Yucai's waist, and whispered, 'How can a wedding be where the groom alone bows? I missed that last time, so I'll give you a proper wedding ceremony now.'

Ji Ji De, hands behind his back, thought for a long time and actually felt there was no better way than this—it could dispel the emperor's suspicions toward the Jin Family, and also make him, among the court officials, have the honor of two marriages both bestowed by the emperor.

'Not bad.' Ji Ji De nodded.

Qiao Yan Pei couldn't help but laugh, "I never imagined Chen'er would have such an Opening Apertures moment."

Having said that, he still gave a meaningful look at the unopened-aperture Jin Enxing.

Jin Enxing, angry, lifted his Dage off the horse, "Mother, don't just talk about me, also talk about Dage."

Jin Yu Dong's mouth twitched, and he gave him a beating in the name of brotherly love.

This wedding was not just for Jin Chen; the Jin mansion also considered it especially important, the celebration was held grandly, everyone in Chuan Ze Cheng knew it was the Jin Family's young master, and his beloved little husband.

Yet no one dared say there was anything wrong with holding two celebrations; nowadays in Chuan Ze Cheng, that Jin young master walks about arrogantly.

Another wedding night.

The unfinished wedding wine, the veil not personally lifted, the night-long lamps that could not let affection linger.

Ye Yuchi's regret in his heart was completely made up, and the love in his heart could not be any greater.

In this second life, fortunately the lord's heart is like my heart.
