However, in just two days, the two will be completely locked together.
[Host, Guagua doesn't know what true love is, but Guagua will always be loyal to you and will never betray you!]
[Guagua, you're amazing!]
Don't believe a man's promises!
Don't believe a man's true feelings!
Promises and sincerity are only true at the moment they are spoken!
As time goes by, it will be scattered by the wind!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen listened to Shen Mingzhu's heartfelt words, and looked at his father, the emperor, and the court officials who were all calm and composed about everything. Then he also became surprisingly calm.
But when he turned to look at Shen Mingzhu behind him, he revealed a meaningful smile.
"Guagua, look, the Crown Prince is smiling at me! He must be captivated by my unparalleled beauty!"
[Host, you're loved by everyone, flowers bloom for you, and cars get flat tires just by looking at you! You're an unparalleled beauty, the only female official in the Great Yan Dynasty, and the most powerful!]
Shen Changyuan's lips twitched.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen looked at him and sneered twice.
Loved by everyone, and admired by all?
Absolutely!
Anyone who dares to harbor ill intentions should go directly to see the founding emperor; they'll surely get a flat tire!
[By the way, Guagua, I gave Crown Prince Yan Beichen a recovery pill and woke him up early. Shouldn't Emperor Jingyuan reward me? Does this mean I won't have to attend court in my husband's place starting tomorrow?]
[Host, that should be fine, but you still need to report to the Hanlin Academy every day.]
[Guagua, going to the Hanlin Academy is no problem! My family can just take me there.]
Emperor Jingyuan smiled after hearing this.
Then Wang Defu stepped forward, and a shrill voice rang out.
"Shen Mingzhu, compiler of the Hanlin Academy, step forward to receive the imperial decree."
Shen Mingzhu was still considering asking her mother how much land and estate her family still had when she goes back today. She planned to plant all of it with cold-resistant grain seeds and vegetables like cabbage and radishes that could be stored for a long time and had high yields.
In any case, vegetables and grains need to have a source.
She sometimes lamented that although it was a feudal dynasty, she was born into a powerful family and stood at the top of the social class; otherwise, if a natural disaster really came, things would be terrible.
"By imperial decree, Lord Shen has demonstrated outstanding performance in the Hanlin Academy and has rendered meritorious service by presenting seeds of cotton, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. She is hereby granted the special privilege of attending court continuously. So be it!"
"I thank you Lord for your kindness."
[Guagua, what's Emperor Jingyuan up to? We still have to go to court! I really don't want to get up early!]
Upon hearing this, the prince's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly felt that she was actually quite cute.
[Host, attending court is fine. Actually, it's quite nice to hear about the major events of the Great Yan Dynasty first thing every day, especially in your northern region. Isn't that great?]
[That's true, Dad never talks about these things in front of us, he treats them like secrets!]
Right, right?
Many people looked at Shen Changyuan. Shen Changyuan straightened up. These were all matters of national importance, many of which were "secret." How could he talk about them in front of his family?
Walls have ears!
[By the way, Guagua, could you check if the Crown Prince has gotten involved with any unwanted romantic advances? I don't want to marry him and then have to deal with all those mistresses...]
All the officials and civil and military officials looked at Crown Prince Yan Beichen.
Yan Beichen: This Crown Prince is wholeheartedly devoted to the people, diligently cultivates martial arts, and possesses noble character. He is surrounded by servants and guards, and the only person in the mansion with whom he has the most contact is his wet nurse, Granny Gui. He is so proud of his purity that he has no bad romantic encounters.
[Ahhh! Host, there are many people coveting your crown prince.]
[What! ]
Crown Prince: How could that be!
[Host, Empress Lin originally intended to choose either her niece Lin Yuxin or her niece Zhou Zihan to be Crown Prince Yan Beichen's Crown Princess, but you, Sheng Mingzhu, suddenly appeared! Both of them are in love with the Crown Prince and are secretly preparing to become his concubines! Also, the Crown Prince's wet nurse, Granny Gui, has a daughter, Wang Meihua, who is planning to find an opportunity to become the Crown Prince's concubine; oh yes, and there's Qiulan, the palace maid who was previously assigned to work in the Crown Prince's residence, who is preparing to become his personal maid!]
[By the way, host, the Crown Prince will later fall off a cliff and lose his memory during the struggle for the throne. He will be rescued by a fisherwoman who takes him into her residence. She wants to be his concubine...]
The entire court: The Crown Prince is quite the ladies' man!
Emperor Jingyuan: My precious crown prince is so charming!
Shen Changyuan: You dog of a man!
[Alright, Guagua, how come the Crown Prince has so many undesirable suitors? These are just the well-known good ones; there are all the others trying to curry favor and climb the social ladder! So annoying!]
[Guagua, do you think we should just make him childless? Otherwise, the thought of him touching me with the hands that have touched so many women makes me want to vomit!]
Upon hearing this, Shen Changyuan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt in the center of the hall.
Other civil and military officials also knelt down.
Shen Mingzhu, not understanding why, quickly followed suit and knelt down.
Other princes: Crown Princess, you are such a kind person!
Crown Princess, it's the Crown Prince's good fortune to have married you!
Crown Princess, from now on you are my sister-in-law, and we will only recognize you!
Crown Princess, we need you! Great Yan needs you!
...
[Host, once you give birth to the little prince, you can give the Crown Prince the "Eradication Pill" from the shop. And whenever you want to have a child, just take another fertility pill! It's a permanent solution!]
Crown Prince: What do you take me for! A stud pig! You can have children if you want, or leave me childless if you don't!
Yan Beichen was furious!
The anger he had just managed to suppress was now on the verge of exploding, and even his voice trembled slightly.
"Shen Mingzhu!"
Shen Mingzhu heard her name called again and hurried forward.
"Your subject is here!"
Then she knelt there with her head down and didn't say a word.
"Is there anything you'd like to say?"
"Your Highness, I have nothing to say!"
What are your thoughts and opinions about me?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is my heaven, my earth, and my eternal sovereign. I and my Shen family will forever be loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty until the last moment of our lives!"
After speaking, she recited several famous lines from ancient times with great emotion.
"Like silkworms spinning silk until death, like candles burning until they turn to ash; since ancient times, who has ever escaped death? Let our loyal hearts shine in history; we dedicate ourselves to the cause until our dying breath. These are the lifelong beliefs of the Shen family towards the Crown Prince, His Majesty, and the Great Yan Dynasty!"
If he hadn't heard Shen Mingzhu's heartfelt words just now, he would have been moved to tears!
He would be letting down the ancestors of the Great Yan Dynasty if he didn't give such a loyal subject an important position!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen looked deeply at Shen Mingzhu kneeling on the ground, answering his questions flawlessly, making him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.
This is truly an eye-opener! This person... is second to none in the world when it comes to acting!
If Crown Prince Yan Beichen was to observe closely, he could see that Shen Mingzhu's lips were slightly upturned, reflecting her vow to serve the Crown Prince, His Majesty, and the Great Yan Dynasty, and that she had a faint smile on her face.
"Alright, Your Highness, Lord Shen is the Crown Princess, what are you doing!"
"Father, I understand."
After speaking, Emperor Jingyuan asked all the ministers to rise and continue the morning court session.
[Guagua, what's wrong with the Crown Prince? I'm the Crown Princess, his wife. The word 'husband' means support, and 'wife' means equality. It means the husband is the pillar of the family, and the wife is equal to him, supporting the family together. The Crown Prince just made me kneel in the main hall! I'll make sure he kneels before me every day after we're married, singing 'Conquer'!!!]
Emperor Jingyuan: The Crown Princess is very ambitious!
The entire court: We want to see the Crown Prince kneeling and singing "Conquer," we want to see it!!!
Shen Changyuan: My daughter has made something of herself!!!
