"From now on, no one is allowed to enter the inner hall of Liuxia Palace without the princess's consent."

"Drag these two idiots out of here!"

Caiyun came well prepared, so the guards who came in were all burly and strong. A weak scholar like Shen Yuming had no power to fight back at all.

Moreover, ever since he met Lin Chunhuan and got engaged, he has always been the one being pampered. Even the emperor would put away some of his dignity when facing him for the sake of his daughter.

Even the crown prince, the future heir to the throne, does not receive such treatment.

Shen Yuming had never been treated like this before, and he became even angrier for a moment. Bai Xiaoxiao's injuries had not healed yet, so how could she withstand being escorted around like this by the guards?

It hurt so much that tears came out.

The look he gave Shen Yuming became more and more pitiful. "Cousin, cousin, please try to persuade the princess. What is she trying to do? Has she fallen for another man and doesn't want to enter our Shen family anymore?"

Bai Xiaoxiao's words seemed to remind Shen Yuming of Lin Chunhuan's past appearance. He immediately looked at Caiyun with pride, "Let Princess Fu'an come out."

"If she doesn't want to marry me, Shen Yuming, she should just say so. There's no need to humiliate my brother and me like this!"

Caiyun dared to retort sarcastically, but she heard a loud shout from outside that the princess had arrived. She immediately lowered her head and stood aside.

Seeing Lin Chunhuan arriving, a barely perceptible look of joy flashed in Shen Yuming's eyes, and he directly broke free from the two guards who were holding him.

The sun sets.

It hung obliquely in the sky, revealing half of its face.

The sunlight outside was no longer glaring, and it cast a warm orange-yellow glow on the ground, casting a layer of gold around Lin Chunhuan as he entered the inner hall.

Shen Yuming broke free from his restraints, looked in the direction she came from and was about to scold her, but the words on the tip of his tongue could not come out.

Today, Lin Chunhuan changed into a bright red dress, with her hair full of pearls and jade, and her makeup was warm and bold in colors, completely different from her former appearance of a little white flower.

For a moment, Shen Yuming was actually a little dazed.

Why didn't he realize that the princess was so beautiful before?

No... She seemed to be like this a long time ago, but he didn't know when she started to become bland and even pretentious, which made him more and more impatient.

Seeing the dazed Shen Yuming, Bai Xiaoxiao almost bit her teeth off. It was obvious that Lin Chunhuan just walked in and didn't say anything.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know where she got the strength from, but she managed to break free from the guard, slid down to her knees in front of her, grabbed her skirt and refused to let go, "Princess, no matter how wrong you are, it's all my fault."

"Please, please be magnanimous and let my cousin go. Xiaoxiao will never dare to disrespect you again. Please..."

The surprise rising in Shen Yuming's heart was broken by Bai Xiaoxiao's crying. When he looked at Lin Chunhuan's face, he wanted to say something harsh but couldn't.

He didn't know why, but the look of his cousin that made him feel the most distressed in the past now seemed a bit annoying to him.

After holding it in for a long time, he could only say, "Cousin, get up, you don't have to beg her!"

"stand up?"

Lin Chunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Caiyun with some dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? I asked you to kick him out, but it's been so long, why is he still here?"

"I have failed to do my job well, please punish me, Princess!"

Caiyun knelt directly on the ground. It was indeed her fault that she did not do the job well. There was no point in arguing about it.

But Lin Chunhuan just walked towards the main seat, waving her hands nonchalantly, "Forget it, forget it. You are the cutie in my heart."

"Because of these two shameless people, I can't bear to punish you."

When Caiyun heard this, she was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, her face turned slightly red and she even lowered her head a little.

Looking at his expression, he actually seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Shen Yuming felt a little embarrassed. He frowned and looked at the person in the main seat in a deep voice, "Fuan, you've made enough trouble."

"You asked me to come to the palace today, but I didn't come because I had something important to do. But you shouldn't have hit or scolded Xiaoxiao. Look at you, you're like a shrew. You don't act like a sister-in-law at all."

"You are brave!"

Caiyun shouted loudly, inadvertently scaring Shen Yuming, but Lin Chunhuan waved his hand at this time.

Those amazingly bright eyes looked up and down at Shen Yuming, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.

She didn't respond to Shen Yuming's words, but lazily changed her posture and said, "Minister Shen Yuming of the Ministry of Industry, Minister Shen, right?"

Shen Yuming frowned slightly, not understanding why Lin Chunhuan suddenly called his name. The next moment, he saw Lin Chunhuan slightly opened her red lips and said, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Shen Yuming's handsome face flushed red in an instant, staring at Lin Chunhuan in the high seat, "What did you say?"

However, Shen Yuming did not get a response. Instead, he was kicked by the guard behind him. He fell to his knees with a thud, his face flushed as if blood was about to drip out.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chunhuan wanted to laugh a little, "Minister Shen, are you feeling wronged?"

Shen Yuming pursed his lips and said nothing, but the humiliation in his eyes completely exposed his thoughts. Yes, Lin Chunhuan supported his chin with one hand and looked at the two people kneeling in front of him.

Because of her indulgence, Shen Yuming and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't even remember the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects.

"Fuan." Shen Yuming's tone suddenly softened, not knowing what he was thinking of. "There should be a limit to how much trouble you can make. I can't indulge you like this every time."

"Ah."

Lin Chunhuan chuckled and suddenly stood up with a cold face, "Shen Yuming, you are the minister and I am the monarch. You don't even understand the difference between monarch and minister. It seems that I should ask my father to think about whether the position of the Minister of Works should be replaced by someone else!"

Shen Yuming didn't care about this at all, or rather, he didn't think that Lin Chunhuan would be willing to do anything to him.

In his eyes, this was just a new trick played by this woman.

On the contrary, Bai Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. After what happened during the day, now that Lin Chunhuan had met Shen Yuming, her attitude did not soften at all.

She had already vaguely felt that this time, Lin Chunhuan was most likely not joking. Just as she was about to say something, Caiyun in front of her glared at her and she shut up immediately in fright.

She really didn't want to experience the feeling of being thrown out again.

The feeling of being stared at and pointed at by people along the way is really embarrassing!

"Princess, His Majesty has asked you to go to the Imperial Study to discuss matters. Please move forward, Princess."

Just when the few people were in a stalemate, the eunuch beside the emperor walked in, and as if he didn't see the person kneeling on the ground at all, he delivered the order with a normal expression.
