Although Emperor Chu was momentarily stunned by the beauty of his fifth son's princess consort, he still harbored feelings for the empress and quickly recovered.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Fifth Prince's wife's face and the sharp glint in his fifth son's eyes, and then gave a cold snort to the Emperor.

This brat probably knows what he thinks about his mother, so he deliberately startled him and wanted him to help protect his wife.

He rolled his eyes at his dutiful son, then looked at the other people with their own thoughts, a cold glint in his eyes.

No matter how beautiful she is, she is still his fifth son's wife, the mother of his and his wife's future grandson. How dare these people think of anything else... Emperor Chu noted in his heart the covetous glances cast at his daughter-in-law in the main hall, preparing to scheme against these people one by one later.

"Yes, Fifth Brother's wife, get up quickly. Now you are also Fifth Brother's wife, so change your address accordingly."

Qingyin readily changed her tune, saying, "Yes, Father Emperor."

Hearing the pleasant female voices from below the stage, Emperor Chu's smile widened.

Thinking of his future beautiful grandson with his wife, Emperor Chu couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, a gift."

"Wait a minute, go with Fifth Prince to see his mother, the Empress. She will definitely like you."

Qingyin nodded obediently: "Yes, Father Emperor."

Below the stage, seeing that the stunning Fifth Prince's consort had won His Majesty's favor, everyone's eyes became more discreet, and they dared not be so presumptuous anymore.

However, this princess's appearance is truly... truly enviable for the Fifth Prince!

As everyone pondered, the morning court session ended so quickly in this eerie atmosphere.

Qingyin also met the Empress, who was also very famous in Dongwei, with Xie Ping.

Empress Xie lived up to her reputation for virtue and wisdom. The moment she saw Qingyin, she didn't notice any disapproving looks from others regarding her stunning beauty.

Her gaze was incredibly gentle.

"You two should get along well from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me."

"Yes, Mother." Qingyin nodded obediently.

Empress Xie smiled, took off her own bracelet, and put it on Qingyin.

"A beautiful woman wearing a bracelet, it's a perfect match."

"I used to think this guy would never find a wife, but I never expected that after all these years, he would find such a beautiful wife."

"From now on, listen to your wife properly." Xie Ping nodded seriously. Even if his mother hadn't said it, he would have done so.

With the favor of the two powerful figures in the palace, the Empress and the Emperor, Qingyin quickly settled down in the capital with the Prince of Chu.

Even though she was incredibly beautiful, no one dared to come and bother her.

After Qingyin married Xie Ping and Chu Cheng, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in June of the following year.

Upon hearing the news, Dongwei sent over a large number of gifts, along with a female physician and a nanny.

Emperor Chu and Empress Xie were not to be outdone, and gifts sent from the palace to the Fifth Prince's residence piled up like mountains, making Qingyin rich overnight.

With the help of the two powerful figures, Xie Ping successfully became the Crown Prince of Chu within two years, and Qingyin also became the Crown Princess.

A year or two later, the two chubby, delicate little ones had grown into mischievous little devils who could run and jump, and Qingyin finally saw the male lead from the story again.

With the help of Qingyin and Xieping, He Chu developed rapidly and had already begun to surpass several other countries. Several emperors from the other two countries sent their courtiers to curry favor.

The Nan'an faction was led by Duan Min.

At the banquet where Chu was entertaining guests from abroad, Duan Min looked at Qingyin, who was seated second only to the emperor, and the two exquisite children beside her who looked remarkably like her, his eyes filled with pain.

Not only him, but also Hu Nanxu, who came from Dongwei and had become a court official, had eyes full of disappointment.

Xie Ping, on the other hand, sat beside his wife, his eyes full of happiness, while warily watching his various rivals.

He hadn't forgotten how many rivals he had back in Dongwei. Moreover, with his wife's outstanding beauty, even here in Chu, there were still many suitors trying to steal her away from him.

Thinking of the women in the courtyard who wanted to become his concubines in order to get close to his wife, Xie Ping felt a surge of resentment that seemed to ascend to godhood.

Qingyin gently patted her husband's arm, her eyes full of smiles.

"Mother, why are you taking pictures of Father?" The delicate and lovely little girl nestled comfortably in her mother's arms, her large eyes, so similar to her mother's, staring curiously at her father.

Xie Ping poked her youngest daughter's fair and tender face with a hint of annoyance, "You always insist on being carried by your mother. You're three years old now, why do you still need your mother to carry you?"

Ping'er pouted and looked at her father with sympathy, as if he had lost his mind: "Hmph, I'm only three years old. Grandfather said I'm still a baby, and babies need their mothers to hold them."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. You always have a reason." Xie Ping frowned, but his eyes were full of amusement.

...

Qingyin watched the two, one big and one small, bickering.

At the banquet, Qingyin drank too much water and decided to go out for a while.

Her beautiful and elegant figure left the banquet, and for a moment, many people seemed to lose their spirit.

—

Qingyin stopped walking beside the banyan tree.

"How much longer will this gentleman follow me?" Qingyin turned to look at the newcomer.

The palace maids and guards following Qingyin became wary.

A familiar face appeared, and Duan Min looked at the woman who was still stunningly beautiful even after having a child, his eyes trembling.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty the Crown Princess." Duan Min bowed his head in greeting.

Qingyin said calmly, "Yes, get up."

"If this gentleman has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave."

The pained and conflicted expression on Duan Min's face began to turn into anxiety. Duan Min said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I have something I'd like to ask Your Majesty."

Qingyin remained unmoved: "Please speak, my lord."

"If I hadn't..."

Hearing that the man was asking such pointless questions, Qingyin interrupted him, her brows furrowing coldly: "There are no ifs. If this is all you want to ask, then don't bother talking to me."

Duan Min's eyebrows drooped, and his handsome face looked pitiful.

But Qingyin showed no pity whatsoever. Seeing that the person was only preoccupied with those love and romantic issues, Qingyin left.

...

After Qingyin left, several other young men with outstanding looks and different temperaments also came out.

Seeing Duan Min's extremely pained expression, the group remained silent for a while before returning to their seats.

Time flies, and decades have passed in a flash before Qingyin returned to the system space.

She didn't stay in this little world for long; she left after Xie Ping died.

After her son, Xie Yi, came of age and ascended the throne, two years later, the six kingdoms were unified, and he became the first emperor of Chu.

Xie Yi was very busy, and even his younger sister, Xie Xi, was brought in to help him with official business.

The two outstanding children governed the country very well, and the world was at peace, the people were happy, and it was a truly prosperous era.
