A month later, the group returned to the palace.

Hanmei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw everyone return.

Although she spent her days reviewing memorials and attending court, those old ministers were really too difficult to deal with.

At first, they tried to morally blackmail her, but Hanmei wasn't like Lin Beichen who indulged these guys.

He threw a huge tantrum and dragged out several corrupt officials to be executed before those loudmouths finally shut up.

When Lin Beichen attended court for the first time after his return, he felt that the court officials were vastly different from those of the past.

These people used to constantly ask him for money and goods, but now they're all like quails, and they know how to find their own solutions.

The cement produced by the Ministry of Works has been produced, and the streets of the imperial city have begun to be paved.

When he returned, he saw the smooth, flat road, which was several times better than the old gravel road.

The roads became clean and tidy, and the carriages traveled on them without any bumps.

The emperor was delighted and summoned the Minister of Works, then praised him highly.

Now that Lin Beichen has returned, Hanmei went back to Lin Xue's side.

"Host, you all had a great time out there, leaving me alone in the palace to deal with so many people!"

"When you went out to have fun, didn't you think of bringing me back a gift or something?"

In the palace where only the two of them were, Hanmei was tugging at Lin Xue's arm, unleashing her charm.

"Yes, there are fish from the sea, dates and coconuts from the desert, fruits from the south, and mushrooms from the north!"

"All the spoils from this trip are stored in my space. Take a look and see what you like!"

Lin Xue simply has a collecting hobby; it doesn't mean she values ​​these things that much.

After all, there's such a large planting space, and the things inside grow quickly and well, so there's no need to harvest too much food.

"Alright, host, I'll head back to the system space now. Call me out if you need anything!"

629 didn't really want the gift; it just wanted to show off and curry favor with its host.

Now that its purpose has been achieved, it can return to the system space to rest.

Go!

"Take a good rest. We'll have to head north in another two weeks!"

There's been a snowstorm in the north this year, so we need to go there in advance to warn the officials.

We also need to make preparations in advance, including preparing places to house the disaster victims.

The grain and fodder need to be transported in advance. Although cement has been developed, it has not yet been widely adopted.

After this snow disaster, we can promote the application of cement in the north next year.

When the time comes, everyone will build sturdier houses and won't have to worry about them collapsing under the weight of heavy snow.

...

Lin Xue and Rong Jin's wedding arrived as scheduled, and the wedding caused a sensation throughout the capital.

All the ministers presented their congratulatory gifts, and the scene was so spectacular that it astonished everyone.

Not to mention the dowry Lin Beichen gave, the gifts from the various palace ladies alone filled dozens of boxes.

Xu Zixuan stood in the crowd, looking at the generous dowry, and gritted her teeth.

These things should have belonged to him.

Has he been kicked in the head by a donkey and gone mad?

How could someone do something so unwise?

No matter how much Lin Xue liked him, she was still a princess of a country.

A princess has her own pride. How could he think he could do whatever he wanted just because the other person liked him?

Xu Zixuan cursed himself in his heart, but unfortunately, nothing could be changed.

Neither the regent princess nor the regent king were people he could afford to offend.

Moreover, his parents already have strong opinions about him. If he makes another mistake at this time, his family will probably really give up on him as their heir.

What Xu Zixuan didn't know was that Liu Wanru was also standing at the back of the crowd.

She not only looked at Lin Xue's dowry procession, but also at Xu Zixuan standing in the crowd.

This man who once said he loved her, protected her, and would spoil her for life, this man who claimed he had no feelings for the princess.

Looking at the other person's expression, Liu Wanru knew that she absolutely could not marry him.

Because of her, Xu Zixuan lost her chance to be with the princess.

Now that she has lost this immense wealth, the other party will surely blame everything on her.

It must be said that Liu Wanru is a smart woman.

She knew when she could act capriciously, taking advantage of Xu Zixuan's feelings for her.

I also know when to give up on this relationship and find another path!

night.

"Ah Xue, from now on you are my wife. I will fulfill my rights as a husband and will never give you the opportunity to go out and find a gigolo."

Rong Jin held Lin Xue tightly, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

If Lin Xue changed her mind before the wedding, he might not be able to do anything about it.

After all, the world belongs to the Lin family, and even if he sits in the position of regent, he has no reason to force the princess.

But since the two have already gotten married, they are husband and wife.

Rong Jin would absolutely not allow Lin Xue to betray him again.

"Brother Jin, although I am willful, I always keep my word!"

What exactly are you afraid of?

Lin Xue understood his unease, but it was all due to the sins committed by the original owner of this body. She was truly not the kind of person who would easily tire of the old and crave the new!

But these things can't be said outright, so I have no choice but to explain them again and again.

What do you think?

Rong Jin moved closer to Lin Xue, trapping her in a small space, and then lowered his head to capture her red lips.
