On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

At the first light of dawn, the soft light penetrated the thin clouds like a veil, and fell to the earth, coating the towering imperial palace with a layer of golden glow.

Inside the Golden Palace, Murong Yan was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. She had no expression on her face and just listened quietly to the reports from the civil and military officials.

She is becoming more and more like an emperor.

Officials from the Honglu Temple said that the first edition of the Daqian Daily has been published. At present, the revenue is not very significant, but the people are very curious about the content of the newspaper, and it is a good medium for spreading the court's policies.

Murong Yan just looked at him indifferently, and she felt uneasy when she saw the official from the Honglu Temple. She didn't know whether the old lady was happy or unhappy. Finally, after finishing her report, she walked back to the queue.

In fact, Murong Yan’s mind was not on the court at all. She was thinking about something else.

After the ministers finished their reports, Murong Yan coughed lightly, her face stern, and her red lips parted slightly: "I have decided to begin my southern tour tomorrow. I will personally visit the local areas to inspect the lives of the people and the performance of the officials. The Supervisory Council will send officials to accompany me."

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a huge uproar.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what Murong Yan was going to do.

You are an emperor, and an empress at that. Why don’t you stay in the palace and take care of the people down there?

Four no's and two straights?

You can't do that so recklessly.

Minister of Revenue Zhao Chong was the first to step forward.

He was promoted by Murong Yan and is very loyal, but he is cautious and conservative in his behavior.

He was a slightly chubby man, but his brow furrowed in worry as he advised, "Your Majesty, the Southern Tour is extremely expensive, and the treasury is currently empty, with many livelihood projects lacking funds. It's simply too difficult to afford the expenses of this Southern Tour. I earnestly implore Your Majesty to revoke your order and prioritize replenishing the treasury and improving people's livelihoods."

Minister of Works Song Zhenglin then stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I second the motion. Putting aside the cost issue, the Qian-Chu War has just ended, and roads and bridges across the country are severely damaged. Although repairs are underway, there's no guarantee there won't be accidents along the way. Your Majesty's life is worth a million gold. If anything were to go wrong, we would be willing to die. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."

However, Minister of War Liu Kaiwei does not think so.

He stepped out of the procession and declared loudly, "Your Majesty is wise and compassionate. This action will surely benefit the whole world. Your Majesty's personal visit to the local areas will not only allow the people to feel the emperor's great grace, but also allow you to observe the performance of officials on the spot and encourage local development. This is truly a blessing for the country. I fully support Your Majesty's southern tour."

"Minister Liu, what are you thinking? Your Majesty, your precious body, how could you possibly step on such a lowly ground?"

"Oh? Are all the lands in Daqian cheap?"

"Stop making excuses here! How can you be responsible for His Majesty's safety? The war has just ended in Daqian, and many things require His Majesty's approval. How can you leave the capital without a reason?"

For a time, there was endless debate in the court, with voices of support and opposition rising one after another.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Lin Zhenxian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's compassion for the people is a great act, a blessing for the country and its people. However, to ensure Your Majesty's safety, I, this old minister, believe that you must bring along the two guards from Kyoto and the Tiger Guard Battalion to ensure complete safety."

The court fell silent in an instant.

Several old ministers looked at Lin Zhenxian angrily, but did not dare to say anything.

There is no way. The military officers of Daqian are strong and the civil officials are weak, and the mouth can't beat the gun.

Murong Yan nodded slightly, her eyes sweeping across the courtiers, and then said, "In that case, during the southern tour, all matters of the court will be handled by the Regent. Tell Lin Zhen to accompany me."

"Old minister, I obey."

......

At that time, Lin Zhen was still in Sima Chunlei's bedroom.

He woke up slowly, stretched lazily, and suddenly felt a slippery hand touching his chest, drawing circles randomly.

Lin Zhen looked at Sima Chunlei with a wicked smile, but saw that there was no trace of happiness on the beautiful woman's face, but instead a lot of worry.

"Chun'er, what's wrong?"

"Husband, how did you get this on your chest? It wasn't there before."

"Oh, it's nothing. I was injured on the battlefield."

"Then why didn't I know?"

"I didn't tell you, so of course you don't know."

Sima Chunlei was not so easily fooled. She snorted angrily and turned away, leaving Lin Zhen with only a flawless back.

Lin Zhen reached out and ******.

Sima Chunlei hesitated for a few seconds and then stopped moving.

Lin Zhen knew she was angry that he hadn't told her, so he explained, "Chun'er, there are many things that I haven't deliberately hidden from you, but I can't explain them. Don't worry, this scar has only brought me benefits, not harm."

"My husband is a liar!"

"No." Lin Zhen was savoring the amazing touch when he saw Xueqi walk in from outside.

Seeing both of them lying naked on the bed in the same position, his face immediately turned red.

Sima Chunlei quickly covered herself with the quilt, raised her eyebrows, and scolded, "How dare you! Who let you in?"

Xueqi knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wushe just came to deliver an imperial decree, saying that His Majesty has decided to go on a southern tour tomorrow and requires... the Crown Prince to accompany him."

"what?"

Lin Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and then an idea flashed through his mind.

Could Murong Yan be doing this on purpose? Knowing she'd be marrying Shangguan Wan'er in a few days, she wanted to take me on this trip?

What? You don't want me to have a good marriage?

"I know, get out."

"Yes."

When Sima Chunlei saw Xueqi walk out, she lifted the quilt and stood up, and hurriedly took all of Lin Zhen's clothes and put them beside the bed.

"My dear, no matter what His Majesty means, this public decree must be carried out. Please get up and get dressed."

"Are you not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry at all, I just feel sorry for my husband..."

good.

This kind of woman who is cruel to outsiders but gentle to herself is the most likable.

Lin Zhen stood up and opened his arms.

Sima Chunlei started to dress Lin Zhen without any clothes on. The bedroom was a little chilly in winter, making her shiver all over.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen hugged her in his arms.

"Oh, husband, you haven't finished dressing yet."

"Ask Xueqi to come in and put it on. Lie down quickly."

After saying that, Lin Zhen threw Sima Chunlei onto the bed without saying anything.

This action scared her.

"Ah! Husband, you are so strong."

Lin Zhen looked at his hands and felt a little strange.

My own strength...seems to be growing stronger and stronger.

Not to mention that Sima Chunlei's waist and knees were sore from the collision yesterday, just this one blow would have been impossible for her previous self.

Could it really be the heart-eating insect?

Is this thing so magical?

Lin Zhen put down his hand, but saw Sima Chunlei looking at him with drunken eyes.

The girl must have been thinking about what happened last night because of what he just said. He smiled and said, "Why don't you come with us?"

Sima Chunlei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Alas, I do want to go, but the harem is full of complicated matters and I really can't get away."

Her beautiful eyes were full of resentment.

Lin Zhen looked at her distressedly, thought for a moment, and said, "How about I call two people to come in and help you? Zhen'er alone probably won't be able to handle it."

Sima Chunlei shook her head again: "No, I can't trust women coming in from outside. If they are my husband's wives and concubines, I guess they don't want to come into the palace. It's better to wait and look for them later."

Seeing that she was so insistent, Lin Zhen had no choice but to nod. After giving her a few more instructions, he hurriedly left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion.
