Shen Tao walked out. He stared at Bai Wanwan for a long time and said, "Wanwan, you're back?"

Shen Wei, who was standing beside him, quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Gu Sinian. "Crown Princess Shen pays respects to the Regent. May His Majesty live a thousand years."

Bai Wanwan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Prince Shen is getting married, congratulations to you two!"

Shen Tao smiled bitterly: "What's there to congratulate? I'm going back first."

When she just returned to the capital, the empress dowager wanted to assign Shen Wei to Shen Tao, but Shen Tao was not happy about it.

In his heart, Shen Wei is like his own sister, and there is no love between men and women at all.

But the Queen Mother fell seriously ill two years ago and her health deteriorated a lot. Before her death, she had only one wish, which was to see Shen Wei and Shen Tao become a couple.

Seeing the weak appearance of the Queen Mother, Shen Tao had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the marriage.

Shen Tao doesn't like Shen Wei, and they treat each other with respect.

Shen Wei got on the carriage and said calmly:

"I didn't expect Bai Wanwan to have changed so much. Many people used to say we looked alike.

But now it doesn’t look that way anymore.”

Shen Tao looked at Shen Wei and said, "You two are completely different. I don't know how I could have mistaken you for her."

Shen Wei smiled softly and said, "Isn't it? I heard that she is quite remarkable. Now everyone in the Southern Territory calls her the Queen of the Southern Territory!"

Shen Tao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Wei smiled faintly and said, "No! I was just praising her. Shen Tao, you don't like her, do you? It's a pity that you will never have another chance!"

Shen Tao grabbed her neck and said, "If you hadn't drugged me, how could this situation have happened?"

Shen Tao has always liked Bai Wanwan, but he didn't understand it at the beginning.

But after returning to the capital, Shen Tao thought about it and realized that his feelings towards Bai Wanwan were different.

It was not the intimacy with the servant, nor the love for the younger sister, but the real love between a man and a woman.

He wanted to go back to Qingshui County to find Bai Wanwan immediately, but the Queen Mother detained him in Beijing and did not allow him to step out of the city gate at all.

Things got completely out of control after that.

At a flower-viewing party, Shen Tao had no idea what drug Shen Wei had given him, and he ended up being with her in a daze.

The Queen Mother then issued an imperial decree, forcing them to get married.

Only then did Shen Tao suddenly realize that all this was a setup by Shen Weibu.

Later, after spending more time together, he discovered that Shen Wei was very secretive. She actually knew kung fu and was very cruel and ruthless.

Whenever something goes wrong, she would start shouting for war and killing. If her subordinates dared to disobey her, she would kill them without blinking an eye.

Only then did Shen Tao see clearly that Shen Wei was not what he appeared to be, but a real tough guy.

Shen Wei narrowed his eyes and said:

"Why don't we work together? You have Bai Wanwan in your heart, but as long as Gu Sinian is around, you'll never be able to be with her in this life.

But there is a way. As long as you become the master of this world and ascend the throne, what else can you not obtain?"

Shen Tao sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "Just you? How can you compare with Gu Sinian?"

Shen Wei sneered, his tone was somewhat provocative:

"Are you discouraged before the competition? To tell you the truth, Su Daji and I have been colluding for a long time, and I even have 100,000 elite soldiers at my disposal.

If you want, we can rebel at any time.

When you become the emperor, you can take whoever you want as your concubine. As for me, I only want the position of empress. How about that?"

Shen Tao frowned and remained silent.

Shen Wei's tone added a bit of temptation:

"Why do you think Gu Sinian hasn't married in all these years and doesn't even allow women to get close to him?

It's all for Bai Wanwan, Shen Tao, think about it carefully, this is the only way you can get Bai Wanwan."

Shen Tao's expression was indifferent, his tone full of doubt: "Gu Sinian has as many soldiers under his command as you do. How can you, a woman, who only talks empty words but has no real confidence, fight him? It's simply wishful thinking."

Shen Wei smiled faintly when he heard this, with a look of determination in his eyes:

"Don't worry about these things, just tell me whether you want the throne or not.

I'll help you with the rest, so you don't have to worry about it."

Shen Tao raised his head, looked at her gravely for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, go ahead and do it!"

Shen Wei's voice softened:

"That's right, think about it, when you become the emperor, you can be with Bai Wanwan day and night, and life like that will be so carefree.

Besides, the Queen Mother is willing to help us. She has over 100,000 elite soldiers at her disposal. With this power, we will definitely succeed this time."

Shen Tao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say."

The next morning, Bai Wanwan followed Bai Yin to the court. Bai Yin said with a smile, "We'll go to the morning court later. You should talk less and watch more."

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "I know! Grandpa, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Baiyin sighed heavily and said:

"The current Regent is no longer the same as before, even though you two grew up together.

But his status is different now, he holds great power, and his temperament is difficult to predict.

When you see him next time, you must be more respectful and not be as unruly as you were when you were little."

"But I just met him yesterday! I didn't find him difficult to get along with." Bai Wanwan tilted her head and recalled with a cheerful tone.

"He even personally cooked a table full of dishes for me, and they tasted delicious."

Baiyin's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock:

"Are you really talking about Gu Sinian? He's very sullen right now and doesn't talk much to us old ministers.

How could he cook for you personally if he has such a deep mind? "

Bai Wanwan nodded quickly and pulled up her court robes to show Bai Yin: "He also made several sets of clothes for me personally. Look at this second-rank court robe of mine. It was made by him. Isn't it beautiful?"

Baiyin came forward to take a closer look. The court dress was made of fine material and had delicate stitching. It was indeed made extremely exquisitely.

He nodded involuntarily: "It's well done, but he's still willing to make clothes for you? I don't know what he's thinking."

The grandfather and grandson walked towards the court while chatting and laughing.

The officials arrived one after another, their eyes quickly fell on Bai Wanwan, and they began to discuss in low voices.

"Isn't that Lord Baiyin's granddaughter?" Someone quietly pointed at Bai Wanwan, his tone full of surprise.

"Huh? That's a woman?" Someone next to him widened his eyes.

"Women can also serve in the court? Lord Baiyin, this is too unruly. A woman entering the palace is simply disregarding the ancestral etiquette and laws!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a lot of echoes.

"That's right! In all the years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, I've never heard of a precedent of women attending court. How shameless!"

"Perhaps Lord Baiyin is relying on his seniority to secure privileges for his own juniors. What a mess!"
