After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 263 How Long Should I Kneel? I'm Afraid My Wife Will Be Waiting for Me When I Get Back
Pei Yuanjun's expression remained unchanged, and she said in a clear, cold voice, "I wonder what mistake you have made, Your Majesty? Please enlighten me."

Xiao Jingxuan stared at Lou Chen in astonishment. Was he the Emperor?

Lou Chen threw down the official document, which turned out to be a household registration record.

Pei Yuanjun flipped through his family's household register.

Upon seeing Qi Jingxuan, he understood that Lou Chen was merely using this as an excuse to force him to return to the capital.

It seems he has decided to bring Xiao Jingxuan back to the capital and make him willingly go back to protect Xiao Jingxuan!

Knowing full well what he meant, he pretended not to know: "This is my family's household registration. Is there any problem?"

Lou Chen looked at Pei Yuanjun with a cold gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly. Was he going to try and fool him?

"I ask you, why did you make Jingxuan take your wife's surname?"

“Since the lady is the head of the household, of course she takes the lady’s surname!” Pei Yuanjun said matter-of-factly!

Lou Chen was almost laughing in anger: "Lord Pei Yuan, you actually let a woman climb on your head? You even changed her to the head of household? I have never heard of a woman in Louqu becoming the head of household while having a husband?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think there's any problem. After all, who is the head of the household is not important. What's important is that we are still family!"

Lou Chen was speechless: "For her sake, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back after returning to the capital?"

"My wife once said, 'Let others talk as they please! After all, there are many people who can't stand to see you doing well!'"

Lou Chen was about to be driven crazy by Pei Yuanjun. Why did his sharp tongue come out again?

These veiled remarks were clearly a veiled insult directed at him as well!

He refused to believe that he, the emperor, couldn't deal with him: "What about Xiao Jingxuan? You actually changed his name twice? Do you know that this is treason?"

Pei Yuanjun calmly glanced at Lou Chen: "Your Majesty, you've wronged me! When I added the surname to Jingxuan, I didn't even know his identity! Besides, if I didn't register his household, he wouldn't be able to attend the town's school!" Little Jingxuan secretly sized up Pei Yuanjun, anxiously asking him what his identity was.
Pei Yuanjun gave him a look that said, "Take it easy."

"So, I should thank you for adding the surname to Jingxuan!"

"I do not seek merit, but only to avoid mistakes!" Pei Yuanjun said frankly and fearlessly!
Lou Chen: "..." Now that he said that, he really couldn't punish him!
But how could I swallow this anger when he was so intimidating?

"Go out and kneel down. I have something to say to Xiao Jingxuan!"

Pei Yuanjun suddenly looked up: "How long will you kneel?"

Lou Chen's gaze swept coldly over him! How long will you kneel?

Does he need a reason to punish him? And dare I ask how long he'll kneel? Does he want to die?

Pei Yuanjun met Lou Chen's sharp gaze and said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, "If I kneel for too long, I'm afraid my wife will be waiting for me when I get back! I'm afraid she'll be anxious and worried!"

Lou Chen: "..." He's henpecked? Who's the emperor here?
Desheng was worried for Pei Yuanjun. When the Prime Minister was in a bad mood, he always liked to argue with the Emperor. However, with Prince Zhengyang around, the Emperor couldn't punish the Prime Minister!
The Prime Minister doesn't care about the minor offense. The Prime Minister has saved the Emperor's life and found the real young prince, which is a great achievement!

If the punishment is too severe, it will make the emperor seem heartless, and punishing the prime minister for such a trivial matter will discourage loyal officials.

Add to that the overprotective Prince Zhengyang, who would come knocking on the Prime Minister's door to defend him as soon as the punishment was too severe, causing the Emperor a headache!

Ugh! This is difficult!

Just like now, the emperor has no way to deal with the prime minister, and he will most likely have to kick him out!

As expected, Lou Chen roared in fury: "Pei Yuanjun, get out of here!"

Pei Yuanjun slowly stood up and patted off imaginary dust from his clothes!

Xiao Jingxuan quickly stood up, wanting to leave with his father!
This emperor is terrifying when he gets angry; my father is much better to him!
Now he even thinks that his father, who used to fight him for meat jerky, was much better than this emperor!
When Eunuch Desheng saw that Xiao Jingxuan was frightened, he immediately whispered a few words to Lou Chen, who immediately straightened his expression and made himself look kind and approachable!
