Chen Siwei stood up and bowed, "Greetings to the Grand Emperor and the Grand Empress."

Yan Tinglan and Zhu Fuli found a random place to sit down, "Get up, what are you doing here?"

Sui Zhao looked at Zhu Fuli, and she pointed to the seat next to her. Sui Zhao sat down obediently.

He lowered his eyes in deep thought, "I am here to look for His Highness Kangle."

"Why are you looking for her?"

"I am pleased with Your Highness and would like to ask the Emperor and Empress Dowager to marry You."

Yan Tinglan snorted, "You want to marry me? Do you want my princess to run around with you every day, or do you want my princess not to see her husband for several months or half a year?"

Chen Siwei tightened his grip on the sword and pursed his lips.

Sui Zhao pulled Zhu Fuli's sleeve. Zhu Fuli held her hand and shook her head gently.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and Yan Tinglan poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

He was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I am the commander of the Inspection Department. It is my duty to eradicate corruption. The world needs the Inspection Department, and the people need honest officials. This is my original intention as an official, and I will not leave the Inspection Department."

"I am concerned about Your Highness and do not want to be separated from You. When we go to various states and counties, I will make every effort to make arrangements so that Your Highness will not be overworked."

"I cannot stay in the capital for long, but I will do my best to protect Your Highness."

As he spoke, he looked up and met Yan Tinglan's gaze. "Compared to the men in the capital, I don't have many advantages, but the fact that Your Highness loves me is my greatest advantage."

"I swear on my career and my life that I will never let Your Highness down."

Yan Tinglan put down the teacup, pulled Zhu Fuli up, and when he walked to the door, he dropped two words, "Yes."

Even though he has some sense of responsibility, An An is not someone who can sit idle. If she is asked to stay in Beijing, she will not be happy about it.

Shen Siwei, this man, has investigated every detail of his eight generations' ancestors since he became the commander of the Mingcha Division.

"Thank you, His Majesty, and His Majesty the Queen."

When they disappeared, Chen Siwei walked to Sui Zhao who was looking at him, half-knelt in front of her, and gently stroked her cheek, "An An, don't worry. If I can't even get past your parents, how can I be with you?"

Sui Zhao blinked, "I haven't seen my father like this in a long time."

He looked like an emperor who looked down upon everyone and was superior to everyone else. His tone and demeanor were so cold that people were intimidated.

"But fortunately, you are good enough." Sui Zhao took his hand, "Chen Luyuan, when I fell in love with you, you had no secrets in front of my father."

Shen Siwei shook her hand again, his brows showing a hint of smile, "Fortunately, I can withstand the investigation."

She smiled and kissed his face, "Are you tired? Tell the truth."

"some."

"Then go and rest after dinner. When you wake up, I'll take you for a walk around the village to protect my reputation and let them know that I'm not talking nonsense." In fact, he had the intention of showing off.

"Hmm?" Shen Siwei's heart beat faster for some unknown reason.

"A few months ago, I rejected a young man who offered to marry into my family. For some reason, I suddenly lied that I had a fiancé."

"Then one day a girl in the village who was not bad asked me for details. To save my image, I made up a few more sentences. So now I am ready to get married in the spring."

"Actually, when I was talking nonsense, I thought of you." Sui Zhao felt a little embarrassed when he said the last sentence.

Shen Siwei couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, watching her dark eyes deepen.

Sui Zhao pulled him up and said, "I don't know when Daddy has chosen the wedding date for us, but you are my princess's fiancé and you can't run away."
