Moreover, the Third Princess might just be changing her taste on a whim, and she might not like Fang Xuan's type anymore tomorrow. Therefore, the Empress thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You've always been fickle, if..." She thought for a moment and felt that half a year would be enough for this fickle princess to get rid of her old flame, so she said gently, "If your heart doesn't change after half a year, I will bestow a marriage upon you and Fang Qing."

Looking down at Fang Xuan, whose face was hard and stern, she thought that marrying the Third Princess wouldn't be a bad idea.

Fang Xuan commands a large army, and she originally intended to betroth him to one of her trusted ministers. Now, if the Third Princess were to marry him, it wouldn't be bad.

The Third Princess has no ambition. Although she and the First Princess are sisters from the same father, judging from her personality, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would kill her mother for the sake of the First Princess.

Rather than having Fang Xuan end up in someone else's household and be courted by others, it would be better to have him be a noble princess who, though noble, is too noble to be close to anyone.

"I will not change!" Shen Wangshu shouted immediately.

"I was afraid that Fang Qing might change her mind. You're not that outstanding either," the Empress said, pointing at her with a smile.

Her laughter carried a hint of pleasure. Seeing that the Third Princess seemed displeased to hear that Fang Xuan might change his mind, she hesitated for a moment before still smiling and saying, "You've always been good at fawning over people. Treat Fang Qing well for the next six months, and I'll have to see how you perform."

She paused for a moment, then ordered a maid to fetch a white jade ruyi and bestow it upon Fang Xuan.

This was a sign of high regard for Fang Xuan. Although no marriage was formally arranged, it was clear that she didn't look down on him. Shen Wangshu saw this and knew that going too far was not a good thing.

Don't insist on marrying him, lest the Empress think that she truly harbors malicious intentions and wants to win Fang Xuan over.

"One Ruyi scepter isn't enough," she said, trying to sound dissatisfied.

The Empress, having no other choice, bestowed upon Fang Xuan several rare treasures before ordering him to rise.

.

Seeing the tall man stand up majestically, towering over her princess by a full two heads, the empress suddenly fell silent.

She felt a deep sense of unease. Looking at the somewhat petite and dependent Third Princess, and then at Fang Xuan, who seemed as majestic and reliable as a mountain, she suddenly wondered if the genders were reversed.

Men are stronger than women, what a degenerate society!

To fall in love at first sight like this... one's head must have been hit pretty hard.

Moreover, when the Empress saw the stunningly beautiful Third Princess and her smug expression, she couldn't help but worry that the woman was weak and the man was strong. She feared that the wife's authority in the Prince Luan's mansion would be weakened in the future, and the princess would have to stay at home and indulge in pleasure as a little woman, while Fang Xuan would have to show his face in public and establish himself as a man.

The Empress felt a pang of stomachache at the thought of the scene. However, knowing that the Third Princess was currently engrossed in her story and wouldn't listen to anything, she sighed. She felt that enough had been done and waved her hand, dismissing the court session.

As soon as the court session ended, Shen Wangshu rushed to Fang Xuan's side.

Her eyes sparkled as she cupped her face in her hands, gazing at her tall and imposing lover.

The fact that such a burly man could be admired by others filled the court officials with utter astonishment.

They covered their faces and left, thinking that the Third Princess had really heavy tastes.

What followed was a scene that nearly made their jaws drop.

The Third Princess, who was always served by others and never served anyone else, was bending down to brush the dust off the knees of the tall man.

"You've been kneeling for so long, does it hurt?" she asked with concern.

Fang Xuan's cold, hard face was slowly tinged with a faint blush.

Shen Wangshu felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Finally, I have a day to show off my coolness.

She looked at the handsome man before her with even more tenderness, intending to make him even more enviable, thus expressing that His Highness the Prince of Luan had someone he loved.

"Let's go." Although His Highness the Prince of Luan really wanted to show his deep affection, the First Princess actually felt like the others were just monkeys being watched by a crowd.

She coughed awkwardly, noticing her beautiful younger sister looking at her with some displeasure. She paused and said vaguely, "The Empress has not refused, but you should know the meaning of propriety. As long as the marriage has not been granted, you should observe proper etiquette." She said to Shen Wangshu seriously, "Respecting a man is a sign of true love for him, understand?" Touching him would only make people think Fang Xuan was a frivolous man.

Hehe... In his previous lives, Ah Xuan used to hug and kiss me all the time, he never knew the meaning of boundaries.

Shen Wangshu snorted, feeling that she should take advantage of this great opportunity to do this or that to him.

"Let me carry it for you." Seeing several maids present Fang Xuan with a heavy little box, Shen Wangshu decided to show her strong womanly demeanor, extending her hand and saying with a smile, "How can you let a man carry something so heavy?"

This was clearly a reward from the Empress to Fang Xuan, and Shen Wangshu smiled and asked Fang Xuan to hand over the small box to her.

Upon grasping the box, Shen Wangshu stumbled forward, the box falling to the ground with her.

.

A large hand supported her shoulder, preventing her from losing her balance and landing face-first. The other hand gently caught the box, which opened to reveal rows of neatly arranged gold ingots.

"It was an accident..." Shen Wangshu shamelessly pretended nothing had happened, firmly holding Fang Xuan's hand, and tried to explain with a smile.

The eldest princess sighed deeply, covering her face, not wanting to see her embarrassing younger sister.

This princess is so pampered every day that she's practically weaker than a man.

Of course, this man was also a little different from others.
