Lin Ru sighed helplessly, "Now you know to ask my opinion? Didn't we hold a simple coronation ceremony before?!"

"I think it's always better to be as low-key as possible!"

The officials below nodded silently upon hearing this.

Then they said in unison, "Excellent! His Majesty also thinks our method is excellent."

"Then let's do it this way."

Lin Ru...

"Aren't you guys being a little too cheeky?"

As soon as she finished speaking!

Those people immediately knelt on the ground!

Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "His Majesty is so tolerant and magnanimous, he certainly won't hold it against us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please grant us this request just this once."

"That wasn't a coronation ceremony at all; it was more like an official appointment ceremony!"

"So please agree to our request!"

Lin Ru smiled helplessly as she looked at them like that!

"Alright! Then you can do whatever you want, but there's only one rule! Don't cause trouble, and don't use your power to bully others."

"If any accident occurs, you can forget about your official positions."

These people happily nodded in agreement, repeatedly assuring each other that there would be no problems, and then they all left together to continue discussing the matter.

Wu Ling stood still and did not leave with those people, who had gotten used to it.

After each grand court assembly, he would personally escort His Majesty back to his palace!

He personally handled everything concerning His Majesty, without relying on others, and took care of all the matters himself.

As a result, His Majesty doesn't even have a personal maidservant by his side now!

Lin Ru glanced at Wu Ling, who was left alone, gave a soft snort, and prepared to leave!

But as soon as she stepped off the stairs, she was enveloped in a warm and fragrant embrace!

A muffled laugh came from above!

"Why are you still angry with me?"

Lin Ru nudged him, then stood back on the platform.

Wu Ling stood below, gazing at Lin Ru on the high platform with eyes full of love!

But they didn't move forward even a single step!

Lin Ru knew that he had a boundary in his heart, and the high platform she was standing on was that boundary!

No matter how close the relationship is between the two!

But he never oversteps that line!

As long as she stands here, she is both ruler and subject! She is the Empress of millions!

But once she stepped down from that high platform, she became his queen all by herself!

She looked down at the smiling man below. His red official robes made his originally strong features even more alluring! They also perfectly outlined his figure, giving him a kind of uniform temptation.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.

If this were in modern times, it would probably make people drool.

Such a perfect man belongs to her.

She instantly forgot her earlier displeasure and walked down, dragging her somewhat complicated court robes!

"Why would I be angry with you? You're so beautiful."

"But you actually colluded with them."

"I'm going to punish you."

Wu Ling asked with a smile, "How will you be punished?"

Lin Ru opened her arms wide. "I want you to carry me back now."

"These clothes are so difficult to walk in."

Wu Ling smiled somewhat helplessly, "Your Majesty, you know this is unreasonable. If word gets out, what will outsiders think of you?"

Lin Ru immediately started to act shamelessly!

"Honestly! Why didn't we just take the back road?"

"Besides, I'm already His Majesty now, so why should I care what others think of me? If they don't like me, they can try to assassinate me!"

"Or should you just shut your mouth?"

"Or simply break away from Fengtian."

"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't show mercy."

Seeing that he still didn't move, Lin Ru narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't force me to order you around."

Wu Ling absolutely adores her looks!

Ignoring everything else, he bent down and picked the person up in a princess carry.

Lin Ru wrapped her arms around his neck, inhaling his calming scent, and smiled slightly.

He thought to himself: Kid, you think you can beat me?

Wu Ling seemed to sense her joy and was very happy as well, his steps becoming lighter and lighter.

Although they are not married in name or in reality, they get along very well in this peaceful way!

Lin Ru once thought this was unfair to Wu Ling!

But Wu Ling was happy to do it!

This made her feel even more guilty!

Time flies, and in the fifth spring after Lin Ru came into this world, the Sky Platform was finally completed!

Nearby countries, large and small, all sent congratulatory gifts.

Some even had the monarch come in person.

It is clear that there is a positive intention.

Most importantly, these people not only came in person, but also brought their own princes and princesses!

They plan to use a marriage alliance to solidify relations between the two sides.

At the banquet, Wu Ling watched the princes and princesses with their exotic charms, like peacocks displaying their feathers, and his face turned so dark it could drip water.

"Oh! My esteemed Empress, you are even younger and more beautiful than rumored."

"I wonder if my son would have the honor of becoming your devoted subject?"

"Your Majesty! My son is quite good too; he's my most beloved son! You can take a look at him, and he can stay by my side as a guard."

Once these people start talking, they can't stop. They not only introduce their sons, but also their brothers' daughters!

Some are straightforward, while others are more subtle.

Lin Ru felt the chill emanating from Wu Ling.

The smile on his face looked a little stiff!

Quan Jinyu thought it was pretty good!

What monarch would spend his entire life devoted to just one person?

And most importantly, His Majesty and this silly boy have been together for so long, but still have no intention of getting married!

This made him wonder if this kid had done something to offend His Majesty.

It would be better if His Majesty looked at the other princes and nobles and made a careful comparison before making a final choice!

Just as Lin Ru was struggling to find the words, an announcement came from outside: "The delegation from Yingtian Kingdom has arrived!"

At this moment, Lin Ru looked out in the direction of the sound and saw Xu Yixuan, full of vigor and having shed his youthful immaturity, leading his men in!

Xu Yixuan looked at the girl sitting on the high platform, his heart pounding uncontrollably!

He dreamed of the girl in front of him countless times in the dead of night.

Although their personalities are quite different, their faces are exactly the same as the people on the high platform.

He was convinced that they must have been extremely destined in their past lives, otherwise she wouldn't still appear in his dreams even after so many years of not seeing each other.

He knelt down with a smile in his eyes and respectfully bowed deeply to Lin Ru.

"May Your Majesty be well!"

Lin Ru looked at the people behind him, all of whom were young and beautiful. Could it be that this person was also here to bring him men?

She smiled and waved her hand, "Rise, young general."

"General Xu! It's been many years since we last met. You've grown even taller and more handsome than I ever knew you. I almost didn't recognize you."
