"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Murong Jin, daughter of the Prince of Zhenbei, is virtuous and talented, and possesses a kind and gentle nature..."
"I fell in love at first sight..."
Blah blah blah...
Therefore, Murong Jin is hereby named Empress.
Zhao Delin looked at the Regent standing opposite him and said, "Miss Murong, please accept the imperial decree."
Murong Jin took it, a smile playing on her lips, "This humble woman thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness..."
The wedding is in two months! That's quite a rush.
Time is tight, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue are going to be busy again.
After the news of the empress's investiture broke, people asked, "Who is Murong Jin, the daughter of the Prince of Zhenbei?"
"Idiot, she's the Regent! Her name is Murong Jin, but most people just call her the Regent..."
"Oh oh oh~~~~"
"Your Majesty has finally achieved your wish this time."
"Of course, His Majesty even went to the military camp to experience it in order to pursue the Regent."
"People of noble status are willing to suffer for the ones they love. It seems His Majesty truly loves..."
"I love her too." With such a capable wife, he'd be happy to be a kept man!
However, he lacked His Majesty's immense power and never encountered someone as formidable as the Regent...
"Uncle, do you agree to me marrying into your family in the future?"
"Get lost, they wouldn't even look at you, you're too short and ugly."
"Are you hurt? You're making a personal attack..."
"The words you've learned, hurry up and go study them. We men can't be inferior to women!"
………
They cannot meet before the wedding.
The Minister of Rites was at a loss. "Well, the Regent and the others are married, so they should be able to meet, right?"
Minister of Revenue: "His Majesty has been wanting to go out and see the Regent these past few days, and we can't stop him... We can only try to get him more memorials..."
Li Mingzhong: "Let's see what the Regent has to say..."
Li Huan came in and said, "What are you doing? The Regent is going to a neighboring city to inspect some matters. He asked me to come and tell you to keep His Majesty confined in the palace."
The others' eyes lit up upon hearing this, "We understand."
"Hehehehe..."
The Minister of Rites suddenly gave a lewd smile, and the others took a few steps back. "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"Give His Majesty something to do. Although we know His Majesty's strength, there's no guarantee he won't sneak away. Have you forgotten that His Majesty went to the military camp a few years ago?"
"Since it was the Regent who said to confine His Majesty to the palace, we'll do it. We won't be afraid of His Majesty's retaliation. We can just bring up the Regent later and say it was his arrangement..."
...
"Your Highness, this is the newly expanded farmland."
Murong Jin looked at the vast fields, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. "Not bad."
We also need to build some things around here, such as irrigation ditches and drainage systems... everything needs to be arranged.
"Once the construction is completed, we can start planting in early spring next year."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Chen."
"Your Highness is too kind. This is what I should do. The people I brought are all interested in agricultural plants, so everyone was very interested and passionate when they were studying them..."
Having stayed here for six or seven days, Murong Jin was still studying new plans late into the night. Ten years—hoping that Da Cheng could resolve all the current difficulties and questions within these ten years.
...
"Where is the Regent? I have nothing to do lately, so I need to go to the Regent's Palace."
"Your Majesty, this is the latest memorial."
"I'll see tomorrow."
"Your Majesty is in a great hurry."
Emperor Lan: "..." Fine, I'll just watch for a while.
As time went by, the number of memorials on his desk grew larger and larger.
Outside the house.
"Eunuch Zhao, does His Majesty still have time to go out?"
Zhao Delin: "The memorials are piled up," so there's no chance to go out right now.
For three consecutive days, Emperor Junlan grew impatient.
"I ask you, where is the Regent?"
"They went to a neighboring country."
Emperor Junlan's face darkened. "So this is all the memorials you've prepared for me?"
"It was arranged by the Regent. These are all very important issues. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Di Junlan: "..." You're using his weakness to threaten him, aren't you?
Okay, so the regent is his Achilles' heel, and besides, all of this was arranged by the regent...
OK.
Then he would wait for Murong Jin to return in the palace.
When Di Junlan received the envelope that evening, he was stunned for a moment and found it hard to believe.
"Your Majesty, this is a message from the Regent via carrier pigeon."
Emperor Junlan put down his pen. "Quickly, let me see it."
The message simply said, "I'll be back after I've taken care of things. Don't worry..."
"Perfunctory."
Ankerson stood to the side. "What did the Regent say?"
"Look, isn't Murong Jin no longer paying attention to me? He doesn't cherish what he has?"
Ankersen: "..."
“There are newly reclaimed farmlands in the neighboring city. If they are developed, they can be popularized throughout the country, and people will no longer have to worry about food.”
"Your Majesty, please stop being unreasonable."
Di Junlan: "Hmm?"
Am I being unreasonable?
OK.
He gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "Murong Jin, wait until you come back, and I'll teach you a lesson!"
The reply they sent stated when they would return.
I wrote a letter every three days, but Murong Jin didn't reply.
"I am indeed no match for those beautiful women outside."
An Kesen & Zhao Delin: "..."
I'm used to it.
...
When Murong Jin returned, it was just half a month before their wedding.
"Why are you only getting back now?"
"Your Majesty, are you missing me?"
"No..." A hint of shyness flashed across her face, and Murong Jin couldn't help but reach out and hold his fingers. "Things over there have been taken care of. Now we just need to wait for the project to be completed, and then we can start implementing the plan next year."
"Is the wedding dress all prepared?"
Upon hearing this, Di Junlan pulled the person inside, saying, "It's ready, come and take a look."
Looking at the Empress's wedding dress, so exquisitely crafted and lifelike, it was indeed quite impressive. "Then, I will wait for His Majesty at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."
"Alright, but stay with me tonight."
Murong Jin: "Okay."
...
"His Majesty has probably been appeased again."
Zhao Delin: "You'll get used to it. As long as the Regent says a word, His Majesty will be fine."
“He’s completely different now than before; I even wonder if he’s changed his personality.”
"That's true for those who love others, but it's also for those who are loved that this dependence arises." His Majesty is very dependent on the Regent, and his true nature is only revealed in front of those he loves.
Zhao Delin chuckled, "Take Commander An for example, you also act coquettishly and throw tantrums in front of your wife, right?"
Ankesen: "..." Let's not talk about this kind of thing, it's embarrassing.
