"Come on, do you think I'm bullying her? I was just giving her a friendly reminder."
Sun Jian spoke with a smile.
Just as Princess Taiping was about to say something, the waiter brought the dishes over.
Seeing these abundant dishes, everyone's appetite was whetted.
"Try it. Although the food at the No.1 Restaurant under Heaven is not much different from what's inside, there are still some differences."
Well, upon hearing Sun Jian's words, everyone disregarded everything else and began to feast.
After a satisfying meal, just as we were about to get up, we heard a whistle coming from downstairs.
"Would the two young ladies upstairs please come down for a chat?"
Upon hearing this sound, Sun Jian looked down and saw several well-dressed young men shouting downstairs.
"At this time, we shouldn't cause trouble. Let's go."
Sun Jian spoke slowly.
The news that they had left the palace without permission could not be kept secret from everyone.
Once those people find out, even if they're right here in the capital, they'll probably try every means to find me.
Li Gancheng nodded slightly after listening.
At this point, nothing else can possibly happen.
But when they came downstairs, they found that the young men were still waiting in the same spot.
"The outfits I changed for us weren't that eye-catching, so why would they think Taiping and Chang Le are pretty?"
Sun Jian spoke slowly, in a low voice.
To avoid attracting attention, they were all dressed in the most ordinary way.
Let alone beautiful, Chang Le and Tai Ping are not even remotely pretty.
Therefore, the attitude of these young masters is very problematic.
Sun Jian gave a signal to the guards in the distance.
Make them pay close attention.
Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, he simply won't be able to protect these people in this crowded place.
"If you want to find girls, go to a brothel. We are all respectable men."
Sun Jian spoke slowly.
"Hey, what business is it of yours? We're looking for these two young ladies. Can't we even get to know them?"
One of the young men smiled faintly.
The others also intentionally or unintentionally blocked the way for the crowd.
These people seem to be quite something.
Sun Jian glanced at everyone, then stepped forward. "I'll say it one last time, get out of the way, or I won't mind keeping you in bed for a few months."
Little did they know that Sun Jian's words would completely enrage them.
"I'm not letting you drive today, what are you going to do about it?"
“We heard everything you were plotting just now. If you don’t come up with a few hundred taels of silver, don’t blame us for exposing everything.”
Upon hearing the man's words, Sun Jian raised an eyebrow.
They were mostly just chatting and didn't say anything that would reveal their identities.
How is it possible that these people in front of me actually heard it?
Seeing that the others remained silent, these young masters became even more arrogant.
"Haha, we know all your plans now. If you don't hand over some silver, the army will be here to arrest you immediately."
Hearing what these people said, Sun Jian cursed them under his breath as idiots.
He then quickly led the group away into the distance.
Just as the young masters were about to give chase, their guards seemingly accidentally knocked them down and then disappeared silently downstairs.
After walking for a while, Sun Jian made sure no one was following him before leading a few people to rest by the river.
After resting by the river, we checked into a guesthouse as usual.
The next morning, Li Gancheng returned to the palace.
Everything was ready, and they were just waiting to get married.
When the day actually arrived, Li Gancheng felt somewhat worried and disappointed.
Even if he gets married, he will still be the crown prince.
It's simply impossible for them to live a life as unrestrained as Sun Jian's.
On this day, the entire empire began to celebrate.
Inside the palace, all sorts of flowers had been prepared.
The woman whom Li Gancheng was about to marry had already put on a bright red wedding dress.
On her head was a phoenix-embroidered crown.
He walked step by step into the imperial court.
"The wedding of Crown Prince Li Gancheng is now officially beginning."
"Yes, please invite the newlyweds to pay their respects to their parents."
Although his three wives had explained the process to him in detail, he was so nervous on the day that he completely forgot everything.
There was no other way but to rely on my past memories to barely complete the process.
After the procedures were completed, the emperor suddenly announced an important message in the court.
"I am deeply gratified to see you get married."
"Unfortunately, it's not a good idea to keep attending court while ill. Starting today, the Crown Prince will oversee the country for the next month."
These words caused an uproar among the court officials.
This news is absolutely explosive!
There hadn't been a single word of it beforehand; the emperor only announced it on the day of the crown prince's wedding.
It practically gave everyone no chance to react.
Sun Jian was even more shocked to see the emperor's calm and collected demeanor.
The emperor must have already thought of this method when he arranged for Crown Prince Li Gancheng to get married.
It's just that the time wasn't right, which is why I'm saying it today.
Because today is the wedding day, the courtiers have no chance to object.
Otherwise, they would offend the future emperor, who is now the crown prince.
Some ministers were very happy because they were on the Crown Prince's side.
However, although the ministers, led by the Second Prince, wore smiles on their faces, they were cursing inwardly.
The fact that the Crown Prince was acting as regent meant that the emperor was preparing to abdicate, and the future of the country would belong to Li Gancheng.
This was a bolt from the blue for them.
When the news was announced, all the ministers, princes, and princesses were present.
The second prince wore a warm smile, but no one knew what he was thinking.
The Emperor's announcement of this news also brought the recently concluded grand ceremony to a close.
After it was over, everyone started making a ruckus in the bridal chamber.
At this point, Sun Jian finally found a place to vent his anger.
The crown prince had always been by his side, but he never expected that this time he would be outmaneuvered by him.
He's back now, and the wedding's over. If we don't get this kid back soon, we might never have another chance.
The group made a ruckus in the bridal chamber before finally stopping.
The bride sat there silently.
Sun Jian gave the crown prince a look, then slowly withdrew.
"Lord Sun, will nothing unexpected happen tonight?"
Although Chang Le and Tai Ping are both girls, they are somewhat aware of the decision their father announced in court today.
"An accident? What kind of accident could happen? The only possible accident is that your royal brother might be holding a big, fat baby tonight."
