The moment this decision was announced, the court erupted in an uproar. The ministers whispered to each other, expressing their approval. After all, a marriage between the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister's household would not only resolve the current crisis but also solidify the relationship between the imperial family and powerful officials.

Thus, preparations for the wedding began in earnest. The entire capital was immersed in a festive atmosphere, with people hoping that this grand wedding would bring good fortune to the city and appease the wrath of heaven. But behind this wedding, how many unknown stories are hidden? Perhaps only time will reveal the answers...

Li Mingfu went to see Ning Yuan that evening. His face was terribly gloomy, his eyes gleaming with anger. He demanded, "Who gave you the courage to plot against the Crown Prince? Do you understand what this means?"

Ning Yuan, however, remained remarkably calm. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Prime Minister, please calm down. This is not my own decision; it is the will of Heaven! This marriage is undoubtedly a hundred benefits for you, Your Excellency. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fails to marry your daughter as soon as possible, not only will the reputations of the eldest and second daughters be damaged, but the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will probably suffer as well!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfu couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph! The three daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion are all married into the Eastern Palace. In this case, what will the officials in the court think? How will they view me? Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan, don't stand on the edge of a cliff without knowing it!" After saying that, he turned away, leaving Ning Yuan standing alone in the hall.

After Li Mingfu left, Xueying emerged from the alchemy room. Ning Yuan bowed respectfully and said, "Master, these three sisters are sharing one husband. I'm afraid the East Palace will be bustling with activity!"

The corners of Xueying's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smirk: "Haha, we can't let Li Jingshu have too much free time. We have to find something for her to do!"

Ning Yuan understood and responded with a smile, "I understand! Master, don't worry!"

Not long after, a rumor began to spread throughout the capital: a woman in the Prime Minister's residence was said to be the reincarnation of a phoenix, destined for great fortune and prosperity. This news spread like wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the capital, attracting widespread attention and heated discussion.

When the Crown Prince learned about this, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and worry. He turned to look at the staff beside him and asked in a serious tone, "Who spread this rumor?"

The staff member looked nervous. After thinking for a moment, he carefully replied, "Your Highness, I heard that Ning Yuan mentioned this incident while chatting with an alchemist while drunk. However, after Ning Yuan sobered up, he refused to admit that he had said such a thing!"

The prince's brow furrowed even more deeply, and he muttered thoughtfully, "So, it seems there might be some truth to what he said. So, in your opinion, which of the Li sisters is he referring to?"

The staff member smiled slyly, "No matter which one becomes the Crown Princess, all three sisters are the Crown Prince's people! As long as the people of Dazhao believe that the Crown Prince's woman has the fate of a phoenix, then the Crown Prince will naturally have the fate of a true dragon!"

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at him, and said with a warning in his tone: "Don't say such things carelessly!"

The aide immediately bowed his head and replied respectfully, "As you command! I understand priorities and will never speak carelessly again." He knew his words were risky, but he couldn't help but want to demonstrate his wisdom and insight to the Crown Prince. Seeing the Crown Prince's displeasure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, secretly admonishing himself to be more cautious in the future.

Li Xuemei and Li Xuelan finally achieved their dream of entering the Eastern Palace and becoming the Crown Prince's concubines. On the eve of their wedding night, the mysterious and alluring Dark Moon Fairy appeared before them. She held an exquisite box in her hands and gently handed it to the Li sisters, saying, "This box of incense will captivate the Crown Prince and make him fall head over heels for you. Don't worry, no one can find any fault with the incense I make!"

As night fell, the Crown Prince entered his bridal chamber. In the flickering candlelight, he beheld two identical women, each with skin as white as snow and features of breathtaking beauty—Li Xuemei and Li Xuelan. Over time, they had been meticulously trained by those hired by the Eighth Princess, and now they had become captivating and charming, each possessing a unique charm.

Their every smile and expression exuded an irresistible charm, as if they were fairies from a fairyland. The prince could not help but be captivated by them, a strong desire welling up in his heart. And the box of incense, with its delicate fragrance, permeated the air like a thread, lingering in the room, further stirring the prince's emotions.

Crown Prince Chu Chengli had seen all sorts of women, but he had never seen anything as unique as these two sisters! They were both pure as water and charming; innocent and voluptuous. This contradictory yet perfect blend of qualities captivated Chu Chengli.

Tonight, the palace was filled with the delicate fragrance of orchids. Chu Chengli sniffed gently, and the refreshing aroma was refreshing and refreshing, as if he were immersed in a sea of ​​flowers. This fragrance was exactly the same as the scent emanating from the two sisters.

For the entire night, the prince immersed himself in the gentle embrace of the two sisters, savoring their lingering tenderness and sweetness. Their skin touched, their breaths mingled, forming a lingering tenderness and sweetness.

Li Jingshu knelt quietly by the window of her bedroom, gazing out at the nearby palace. Tears blurred her vision, and her heart was filled with endless sadness and disappointment. The man she had come to rely on for her entire life had so easily fallen into the arms of another woman.

Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, dripping onto the cold ground. The vows they had made, the sweet times they had shared, now became sharp blades piercing her heart. She couldn't accept this reality, yet she felt powerless to change it.

Gradually, her sobs grew fainter, and she leaned against the window exhausted. In her dream, she seemed to see Cheng Li, the man who always obeyed her every word. He looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with love and concern.

The dream seemed endless, long and beautiful. In it, they spent countless romantic moments together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows. However, when she finally woke up, she suddenly realized that she was not the real Li Jingshu, but Shu Shu from the modern era.

The man she deeply loved, Cheng Li, was none other than the current Crown Prince, Li Chengli. This startling discovery completely sobered her up, making her realize that she was in a completely unfamiliar era and identity. Faced with this reality, she felt hesitant and lost, but at the same time, she was determined to find her true love.
