Li Zhan held her, resting his forehead against hers to slow his breathing, then happily kissed her red lips, looking at her tenderly, and...

…

After returning to the Regent's Palace in the Imperial City, Li Zhan asked the steward Fu Bo to hand over the power of managing the household to Shu Yi and officially announced that he would marry her as his princess.

The Regent's Palace was preparing for the wedding in great splendor, and everyone in and outside the capital knew about it.

Many people did not believe that the powerful Regent Li Zhan would marry a princess from a foreign country as his consort. After all, when Princess Xuanhua was sent to him for marriage, he also threatened to ask a princess from another country to be his maid.

How long has it been? Isn't this a slap in the face?

The Regent's wedding was a grand affair. Before the wedding date, he had already planted wintersweets, which Princess Xuanhua loved, inside and outside the imperial city. By the time winter came for the wedding, the wintersweets were in bloom.

In the imperial palace, Chen Junliu had just finished dealing with memorials in the Golden Throne Hall, and the trusted ministers he had summoned also came over.

The leading minister shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent's marriage has caused too much trouble. It is simply a waste of money and effort."

"What's going on?" Chen Junliu was puzzled. After he had been busy with the front court recently, he was tripped up by the gossips in the harem. Concubine Wan had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth, resulting in two deaths. Concubine Qi accidentally fell from the rockery into the pond and drowned. All these things made him sad for a long time.

The court officials presented the memorial impeaching Li Zhan. Chen Junliu took a look at it and his expression became more and more irritable.

The regent's wedding ceremony was even more grand than his coronation ceremony!

Isn't this a slap in the face of the royal family?

Chen Junliu clenched the memorial tightly. A person who was so extravagant was not worthy of being a minister. He had to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible!

In his opinion, Shen Shuyi might be about to rebel, otherwise why hadn't he completed the task for so long.

He had to kill Li Zhan with one blow, and next month's autumn hunt was a good opportunity.
