The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

On the day of the audience with the emperor, Li Shao put on his official uniform and arrived outside the imperial study at the appointed time, followed by the guards and the eunuch who led the way.

After being informed, he entered the room and saw Jing Xiangting sitting on a chair in the imperial study. Li Shao stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, I, Li Shao, greet the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Jing Xiangting raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "My dear Li, please stand up."

"My dear minister, you went into Snake Mountain alone to take the head of the evil leader. You accomplished something that no one else could do. You have made a great contribution. I am very pleased."

Li Shao did not want to take all the credit for himself, so he replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, but I was able to take the life of the evil leader this time thanks to General Li and other colleagues who forced him into Snake Mountain. This credit is not just mine."

He is capable but humble and not greedy for credit. Jing Xiangting praised him even more: "My dear Li, there is no need to be too modest. Your bravery is witnessed by me and everyone else. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, Jing Xiangting showed concern for Li Shao's health and family, and asked him how he got into Snake Mountain and killed the evil leader, as well as what he saw and heard on the way back to Beijing. The two of them had a very pleasant conversation as king and minister.

After a while, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious. Li Shao felt that the time had come, so he stepped forward and said with a firm look: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can grant my request."

Jing Xiangting was slightly stunned after hearing this, and said with a smile: "My dear Li, please feel free to speak."

"Your Majesty, I have risen from a commoner to a fourth-rank general, all thanks to your appreciation of me. I will always remember your kindness, but now I want to retire and be with my wife and children at home. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to resign."

"What?! Resign?" Jing Xiangting was originally very happy to hear Li Shao flattering him, but who would have thought that he would suddenly resign.

He could not help but frown, his face full of confusion, "Why do you say that, my dear minister Li? I regard you as a pillar of the court, and I have great use for you. Moreover, now is the time to recruit people, how can you resign so easily? It is difficult for me to agree to it."

Li Shao thought to himself, "I just think you're using me too much, which makes me always away from home." He still looked sincere, "Your Majesty, I know you love me very much, but I've been away from home a lot in the past few years, and I've been away from my wife and children for a long time. I feel guilty about them. I can spend more time with them after I resign."

"Besides, there are many capable generals in the court, and they don't need a me anymore. I hope the emperor will grant my resignation."

Li Shao's words were sincere and heartfelt, and Jing Xiangting wanted to roll his eyes after listening to them. Although he had long known that Li Shao was obsessed with his husband, he had no idea it reached this extent.

How can a grown man be so useless? He just wants to be with his wife and children, and doesn't even want to be an official. Besides, they are not together much and apart much! But as an emperor, he can't say that.

I can only continue to persuade him: "My dear Li, what you said is wrong. Although there are many capable generals in the court, in my heart, none of them is as good as you. If you resign, I will lose an arm."

"You are currently a fourth-rank official, but I know that you are far more capable than that. Just focus on serving the country. When the time is right, I will definitely promote you to a higher position."

"As for the fact that you spend less time with your family, I know this and will make up for it in the future. I also believe that you left home for the sake of the country and the people, and Mr. Li will understand you."

Regardless of whether Jing Xiangting really thought so in his heart, he could say so, and Li Shao felt that it was pleasant to hear. At least he showed the proper respect.

But the official still wanted to resign, "Your Majesty, your words really touched me deeply. I have no way to repay your kindness, but I still want to resign."

Jing Xiangting was silent for a moment after hearing this. He didn't expect that even after he, the king of a country, said so, Li Shao still insisted on resigning.

His mood was extremely complicated at the moment. While he was a little angry, he was also reluctant to part with Li Shao, a capable general who was not involved with any forces.

Fortunately, Jing Xiangting is not the kind of narrow-minded and petty emperor. He has always been very tolerant, patient and respectful towards truly talented people.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I know what you mean, but I still cannot allow you to resign. How about this, since you feel that you have little time to spend with your family, I will give you half a year of family leave so that you can spend more time with your family."

"After you return from vacation, I will find you a sinecure in the Shenwu Army. You will be allowed to report for duty every day. I will only summon you if there is something urgent. You won't offend me by doing this, will you?"

He was given a holiday and promised that he would only be required to report for duty in the future. Even after saying this, it seemed really disrespectful to Li Shao if he still refused, so he agreed after thinking about it.

"I thank the emperor for his great kindness. How can I not agree to your kindness?"

Seeing that he did not continue to refute him, Jing Xiangting's face looked much better. He walked down with a smile and patted Li Shao on the shoulder.

"Hahaha! All right, my dear minister, there is no need to be so polite. I have always valued and loved talents. You have such talent and loyalty, so I will certainly treat you well."

"I only hope that you will continue to work hard for the country in the future, and I will not treat you unfairly."

......

After Li Shao left the palace and returned home, he naturally told Zhao Ye everything that happened in the palace.

After hearing this, Zhao Ye opened his mouth in surprise, shaking Li Shao's arm and saying, "My husband, you are too amazing! In order to keep you, the emperor not only gave you a half-year vacation, but also promised that you only need to report for duty in the future?!"

Li Shao smiled and pinched his nose. "You just realized how powerful your husband is. But he said that I only need to show up. If there is something really difficult and no one else is available, he will definitely send me out."

"But he is the emperor after all, and I am sincere in trying to keep him. We can't be so disrespectful. I just feel a little guilty about you. You clearly said that you must resign."

Zhao Ye shook his head repeatedly, "I have nothing to be sorry about. My husband, you did the right thing. If I were you, I would have been so scared the first time the emperor said that I could not resign that I would have said so immediately."

"Hehehe, that's not right. If it were me, I probably wouldn't even dare to talk to the emperor."

Zhao Ye smiled somewhat embarrassedly. He was a young man from the country. He had only seen the world in the past few years following his husband. He had also met many officials, their wives, and their husbands. Now he didn't feel anything when facing them.

However, if he really met the emperor, he probably wouldn't even dare to breathe, let alone talk to him.

Li Shao could never get tired of looking at his shy and timid appearance. He couldn't help but hold his little face with both hands and knead it. "Little daring boy, your nose is as small as a needle. You are just as good as me."

Zhao Ye, whose cheeks were being kneaded, was not annoyed, and said rather proudly: "It is enough that I am capable of you, so do you listen to me? Are you afraid of me?"

This little look made Li Shao even more curious. He stopped pinching her cheeks and directly grabbed her into his arms, like a child, and kissed her hard a few times, "Scared! Of course I'm not afraid! I'm the most afraid of you in our family. You're the boss of our family!"

They have been married for so long and their children have grown up, but every time Zhao Ye faces her husband's strong expression of love, she can't help blushing and her heart is pounding.

With a red face, she still said stubbornly, "Why don't you help me take a bath quickly? If you don't do a good job, I will punish you."

"Hahaha! Yes, husband, I will serve you well now." The little brat even started acting with him.

After saying that, Li Shao carried Zhao Ye straight to the bathroom. The long night was very sweet.
