It was not until dawn the next day that Xu Zhen came out of the space. Seeing the person still sleeping, she guessed that he must have waited for a long time after she entered the space last night. They were already husband and wife, so she was a little hypocritical.

She was about to get out of bed, but An Chen held her in his arms and asked her to sleep for a while. Xu Zhen felt guilty, so she snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes. Soon, they both fell into a deep sleep. It was not until after noon that she woke up slowly.

Xu Zhen looked at An Chen embarrassedly, and blushed again when he thought of what happened last night. An Chen smiled and said nothing, got up, dressed, washed up, and took Xu Zhen to the dining hall.

The housekeeper had someone send lunch over. Seeing the two people's affectionate look, he was happy for his master from the bottom of his heart. He finally got married at the age of 22, and married the destined goddess. He was lucky and blessed for the country. Didn't you see how many envious eyes were staring at the master at the wedding yesterday, wishing that he was the one to be the one to be worshipped in the hall?

Xu Zhen took a deep breath to calm himself down, and asked An Chen: "Do we have to go to the palace to pay our respects to the Emperor and Empress on the first day?"

"Why are you still calling me Emperor and Empress? You are already my wife. They are already your father, Emperor, and mother."

"Oh. We all call them mom and dad, but I can't say father and mother yet."

"It's up to you. You can call me mom and dad. I'll tell them when we get to the palace."

"No need. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I'll just follow your call."

"Zhenzhen, you don't have to change anything for me, just be yourself!"

"No, I know what I should do. Don't worry, I won't let myself down. When will I enter the palace?"

"I just finished my meal. I'm going to rest for a while. It won't be too late to go later. Father and mother will understand and won't blame me."

"Okay, did you find anything unusual yesterday?"

"Let's go to the study. The secret guards have been monitoring the palace. Yesterday's wedding went smoothly. You brought out so many candies, snacks, drinks, and delicacies. Everyone was reserved at first, but after tasting the delicious food, they all let go of their airs and went back only after eating and drinking to their heart's content. They had a great time. I heard from the second brother that when he was taking pictures, he accidentally saw that some maids and children secretly hid things in their sleeves."

"As long as they like it, by the way, let's go take a look at the photos and videos we took later. I want to print out a few large ones and hang them in the room."

"Okay, they're already in the study. Let's go pick them together later."

As the two of them talked, they walked into the study, and An Yi came out of the monitoring room in the study to report to the prince.

"Reporting to the prince and princess, the people sent by the prince of Xishu yesterday were spotted by bees with a keen sense of smell before they could get into the palace. Our people found a large amount of poison on them, and they are now locked up in a secret cell in the backyard. They refuse to admit that they came to the palace to poison. Please tell me whether to torture them or not?"

"We don't want to see blood during the wedding days, so we'll lock them up first and wait until they are willing to speak."

"Yes, Master. The people from the Ghost Killing Sect really surprised us. We didn't know when their people surrounded the entire capital. Almost no one in the martial arts world could get through. This saved us a lot of trouble. Fortunately, they were subdued by the princess, otherwise it would not be easy to deal with so many people."

Xu Zhen asked curiously, "How do you know they are from the Ghost Killing Sect?"

"My princess, the brothers that the leader of the Ghost Killing Sect brought along all had red ribbons tied on their right arms. At first, we thought they were just expressing their joy. Later, the news that the little bees brought back revealed that there were many people around the capital with red ribbons tied on their right arms. Judging from their clothes and appearance, their identities were different. Although they mingled among the common people, they did not look like ordinary people. Later, we found that several groups of people from the Jianghu were stopped outside the capital by them. We sent people to inquire and confirmed that they were indeed members of the Ghost Killing Sect. The leader ordered them to guard the capital and ensure that the master's wedding was completed smoothly."

An Chen: "Please prepare some gifts and thank them on my behalf."

An Yi: "The butler sent someone to deliver it yesterday, but was rejected. The leader said that the Ghost Killing Sect already belongs to the princess, and the dowry for the princess is just a drop in the bucket. He told the butler that now that the princess has married into the palace, everything in the palace will also belong to the princess, and he forbade the butler to give it away casually. If he can't manage the money well, he can protect the family property for the princess himself."

An Chen and Xu Zhen's mouths twitched when they heard this. The sect leader's strange train of thought was very much in line with An Chen's thoughts. Now that he was married and the palace had a mistress, everything in the palace would naturally be under her control.

An Chen: "The Sect Master is right. After the instructions are passed down, we will all follow the Princess's arrangements."

Xu Zhen was unhappy when he heard this. "I still have a lot of things to do, how can I have the energy? The housekeeper manages everything in an orderly manner, why do we have to change people? Let's just keep everything as it is!"

"That's true. Let the housekeeper take care of it first. We'll hand it over to you when we're done with our work."

"Forget it! Now that I'm done with my work, can't you just let me relax and unwind?"

"Okay, listen to me, I can do whatever you want."

An Yi was fed up with the dog food the two spread. The guards outside the gate reported that An Shuo and his group were coming. An Chen asked An Yi to take the people watching the surveillance to go back and have a good rest. With the people from the Ghost Killing Sect, the capital should be safe now.

An Shuo, Chen Xu and others entered the study and placed the photos and videos taken yesterday on the table.

An Chen: "Didn't you say you wanted to put it here last night? Why did you just give it to me now?"

An Shuo: "Brother, you got married yesterday, how could you have time to read it? We have kept it for you until now, you should be grateful."

"You are such a talker, but I don't know what kind of person you are. Tell me, do you want to keep it all for yourself?"

"What are you talking about, brother? What do you mean by keeping it all for yourself? I brought it to you, didn't I? Sister-in-law, I want it too."

An Chen glared at him: "I don't know why you are so shameless. You want everything you see. How can you still act like a prince?"

"I don't care about the appearance of a prince. I just want what I want. Big brother, please stop talking. I'm asking about my sister-in-law. Don't interrupt me."

"You've become bolder after not being beaten for three days?"

"Now that my sister-in-law is here, I am not afraid of you. Please have pity on your brother who is disliked by the family."

Xu Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing. Several people who came with him also covered their faces. They didn't know why this guy was like this. When did the former high and mighty king become a little puppy?

"Brother, you are married and an adult, but I am still a child, you can't bully me. In the past, the people were displaced and homeless, and I couldn't hold on like an adult. Now that my sister-in-law is here, she can do anything, so of course I can be myself again. Sister-in-law, don't you agree?"
