Ordinary men study hard for ten years and are mostly adults when they enter the imperial examination. Even if they have real skills, they are usually in their twenties or even thirty years old before they can enter the examination room. After all, there are very few young prodigies.

Entering the officialdom in their twenties or thirties, starting from the bottom, waiting for time, qualifications, and political achievements, they get a small promotion every three years, and maybe they can get a significant promotion in seven or eight years. As they once said, most people can barely get a fourth or fifth rank when they are in their fifties or sixties, and some people even stay as a small county magistrate for their whole life.

Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin are young and promising. Their current status and positions are the highest points that many people can never reach in their lifetime. Moreover, they are still young and will continue to work as generals and powerful ministers, protecting the country for the prince, stabilizing the court for the prince, and being the most solid shield and sword after the prince ascends the throne.

Abdicate and retire?

This will happen at least twenty years later.

Moreover. "Robbing the rich to help the poor mostly happens in troubled times or dynasties with rampant corrupt officials. Today, Dongling is prosperous. Even if there are still poor people, it is not necessary to rob the rich to help the poor." Xie Jin said leisurely, "Besides, robbing the rich to help the poor is not a real hero after all, and it is not as good as the merits of the generals who defend the country and the land." Xuanyuan Yao said: "I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously." Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "What Yaoyao said, I have always kept it in mind, how can I not take it seriously?" Xuanyuan Yao heard the words, his eyebrows Shao Yiyang: "In this case, everything will be up to me from now on-"

"Yaoyao." Xie Jin sat up and sighed, "You can't bully me."

Xuanyuan Yao wanted to ask who bullied him, but his eyes turned to Xie Jin's face, and suddenly reached out to grab his chin, like a bully teasing a decent woman: "You are my wife, who should I bully if I don't bully you? Beating is love and scolding is love, haven't you heard of it?"

Xie Jin's lips curled up, his eyes full of bewitching meaning: "Beating is love, scolding is love?"

Xuanyuan Yao nodded.

"Then..."

"You want to hit me?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Jin laughed and reached out to take his hand. "What I want to say is that the ten-year agreement has come, and we haven't changed our minds. Shouldn't we celebrate?"

Xuanyuan Yao narrowed his eyes at him: "How to celebrate?"

"What do you think?"

"Let me eat you up from head to toe and from inside to outside?"

"Okay." Xie Jin agreed very straightforwardly, "But there are conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Although we have an imperial decree to marry, we have never held a real wedding ceremony." Xie Jin stretched out his hand to hold his waist, flew down from the roof, and quickly stood on the ground with his feet, "I have prepared a wedding night tonight, let's enjoy it."

Bridal night? Xuanyuan Yao was stunned: "Are you bored?"

"What are you talking about? Life should always create some surprises from time to time. How boring it is to be unchanging?" Xie Jin took him by the arm and walked towards the inner courtyard. "Since His Majesty gave you this general's mansion, it is well known that I, the legitimate son of the Xie family, have officially become your 'wife'. Logically, these surprises should be prepared by you, your husband."

Hearing the word "wife", Xuanyuan Yao paused and turned to look at him expressionlessly: "Then in the future, when I introduce your identity in front of outsiders, should I say 'humble wife'?"

Xie Jin said seriously: "I think 'wife' is more appropriate, which proves that Yaoyao cares about me. Those who love their wives would rather call her 'wife' than 'cheap wife'."

Xuanyuan Yao looked at him speechlessly for a long time: "Xie Jin."

"Hmm?"

"Why do I like you?"

Xie Jin laughed happily: "What's wrong with me?"

"You are particularly pleasing." Xuanyuan Yao put his arm around his waist and rushed to the inner courtyard, "I will do you now."

The red candles were shining brightly in the house, and the curtains and lanterns were all red, full of joy.

Xuanyuan Yao threw Xie Jin onto the bed: "Since you have arranged everything, it would be wrong for me not to help you. Don't sleep tonight, let's see who has better physical strength." Xie Jin lay on the bed and accepted the challenge with a smile: "Please teach me." window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });
