Upon learning that Shen Hechuan was going to govern the country together with Gu Jingchun, they all expressed their agreement.
After all, Gu Jingchun had always had a good reputation among the people because of his previous acts of helping them.
Now that they know she is a descendant of the late Crown Prince, they naturally feel that she has inherited the late Crown Prince's true teachings, and the people are naturally very willing to have her govern the country.
They all expressed their support.
After learning that the ministers were unwilling, they secretly pointed fingers at each of them.
After a few days, the ministers gradually became numb to it.
Six days before Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan's wedding.
During the morning court session that day, there were very few dissenting voices.
In fact, the ministers were basically numb to it all.
Of course, Luo Kejin's unconscious brainwashing of the ministers was also indispensable.
After all, according to Luo Kejin's words...
Shen Hechuan's statement was also intended to appease the people and to prevent the Guiyuan Sect from taking advantage of the situation.
In the future, the Empress will certainly not be allowed to manage affairs.
After all, which emperor throughout history would be willing to relinquish his power? This is inevitably a delaying tactic, serving more as a means of appeasement.
Shen Hechuan's actions continuously delighted the people and even changed the minds of those who had previously harbored resentment towards Shen Wanshan.
Because of this, those pedantic ministers gradually softened and eventually accepted it directly.
When the Empress Dowager learned of this news, she simply sighed and said nothing more.
After all, it was the Shen family who seized the Li family's empire back then. Now, by having Gu Jingchun manage the government, it can be considered as returning half of the empire.
After the court session, Shen Hechuan happily went to Gu Jingchun's room.
Pushing open the door, he found Gu Jingchun sitting in front of the dressing table. He immediately waved for the servants to leave, then walked over to Gu Jingchun in a few steps and hugged her tightly.
"Jingchun, you're amazing!"
"Your idea is excellent. Now there are very few dissenting voices among the ministers. In five more days, I will be able to marry you."
"This time, let's see where you can run now?!"
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"People often only realize the pain when they are whipped themselves."
"In the end, they are also doing it for the greater good, but people's ideas cannot be changed overnight. We cannot be too hasty and need to proceed gradually."
Shen Hechuan nodded, but looking at her smile, he felt a sudden stirring of desire within him.
As the gaze slowly descended, it became clear that Gu Jingchun was only wearing an undergarment, with the collar slightly open, indicating that he had just finished bathing.
Her sweet fragrance kept wafting into his nose, stirring a restlessness within him that made him increasingly out of control.
Since that incident, the two had rarely had the chance to be together. Now, seeing the person he had been longing for in his arms, Shen Hechuan could not resist and kissed her directly.
Gu Jingchun originally wanted to say a few words to Shen Hechuan, but before he could open his mouth, his mouth was covered.
"Hmm..."
She managed to speak with difficulty.
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Shen Hechuan showed no sign of stopping.
Urgent kisses rained down on her lips.
"We'll talk about it later."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he deepened the kiss once more.
Gradually, the atmosphere between the two became more heated.
Gu Jingchun's initial refusal turned into a response, and finally into enjoyment.
Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently with her heartbeat.
Shen Hechuan also gradually deepened his understanding of the subject, starting with a superficial exploration.
He held Gu Jingchun's hand and unconsciously moved it, eventually pushing Gu Jingchun directly onto the bed.
What followed was a natural progression.
The bed curtains slowly fell, obscuring the two figures entwined together.
Their clothes were thrown off the bed, and soon, soft moans could be heard.
Lanxin, who is now much better, went to the kitchen today to make some pastries for Gu Jingchun, wanting him to try them.
However, before they even reached the door, Tianji suddenly stopped them.
She looked at Tianji, blinked, and remembered that it was Tianji who had saved her. She quickly smiled and said, "You came just in time."
"To thank you for saving me, I made something especially for you."
Tianji stopped Lanxin simply because he didn't want her to get close to the room, so as not to disturb Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan at that moment.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected bonus.
He blinked in surprise, his expression instantly changing from serious to shy.
He scratched his head helplessly.
"What is it?"
No need to be so polite.
However, his gaze remained fixed on Lanxin's hands.
Lan Xin had already placed the pastries she was holding on the stone table beside her before reaching into her sleeve.
Tianji looked at Lanxin's lowered eyes, and his heart began to beat faster.
His Adam's apple bobbed a few times as he wondered how he would react if Lanxin gave him a purse.
If they accept each other directly, does that mean they have both expressed their feelings for each other?
As Tianji thought this, his dark complexion gradually turned red.
Even their breathing gradually became hot.
Lanxin rummaged in her sleeve and finally pulled out a black object, which she handed to Tianji.
"Hey!"
"Look at this, I made it myself!"
Tianji looked at what Lanxin was holding and felt a chill run through his body.
It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over one's head.
"This...this is..."
Lan Xin: "This is a dagger I made especially for you. Although it can't cut through iron like mud, it is still extremely sharp and can take someone's life in a minute."
After Lanxin finished speaking, Tianji took the dagger and gave a dry laugh.
"Thank you..."
Lan Xin waved her hand casually.
"What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for you, I might not even be alive. That's why I've been thinking for a long time about what I should give you."
"After thinking about it for a long time, I've decided that giving you a dagger is the most appropriate thing to do. That way, it can be of some help to you if you encounter danger."
The heavens nodded in agreement.
However, his expression didn't look happy at all.
Seeing this, Lanxin couldn't help but ask another question.
"What? You don't like it?"
Tianji shook his head.
"No...no, I like it very much."
Lan Xin lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat dejected.
"Do you think this dagger is ugly...?"
"Although it's ugly, it's really sharp. This is the first dagger I've ever made by hand, and it's very meaningful to me."
"If you don't like it, I can get you another one..."
