or accept it.""To me, you are like this steamed bun, and the choice I offer you is also this steamed bun right before your eyes."Li Chen gave a cold smile and pushed the plate of buns in front of the...Chapter 1660: Another One Arrives

Even seeing his own father, who had been dead for many years, kneeling before him, Qian Kangtai was not this shocked.

With his jaw agape, Qian Kangtai stood rooted to the spot at the entrance, rigidly raising his head to gaze into the courtyard. Under the eaves of Liu Mansion's main hall sat a woman clad in a grand crimson dress. She was exquisitely beautiful, radiating an unparalleled magnificence.

This woman, Qian Kangtai felt familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't remember where.

"Be bold!"

A forest ranger roared, “The crown princess is here! Get down on your knees!”

A fierce shout, like thunder exploding, startled Qian Kangtai. His legs trembled, and he almost instinctively knelt down.

Looking again at the woman sitting leisurely on a lounge chair under the eaves, her appearance was so perfect that it seemed as if all the light between heaven and earth had gathered on her. Qian Kangtai woke up from his dreamlike state.

Isn't this the current Crown Princess!

He also remembered why he felt familiar. It was because on the wedding day, he had also been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Crown Princess in her bridal attire from afar.

"Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Princess. May your reign be prosperous and long!"

When Qian Kangtai bowed, his voice trembled with respect.

His status was simply too far removed from that of the Crown Princess. Under normal circumstances, he could likely spend his entire career at the Dali Temple until retirement without ever having the chance to meet the Crown Princess.

Not to mention him, even Yue from the border is terrified now.

He did indeed instruct Qian Kangtai, the head monk of the temple, to bring Liu Sichun back. He himself came directly to raid the Liu residence following Fu Yuzhi's orders.

Who knew, he had just stepped through the door, hadn't even had time to bellow and posture as Minister of Justice, when he was kicked to the ground by the Imperial Guards hot on his heels.

When they turned around to see that it was the crown princess who had arrived, all the border guards were stunned.

He couldn't figure it out. Fu Yuzhi had just given him the order, and he had immediately arranged for his most trusted subordinates to personally lead a team to Liu's residence. How could the actions of the Crown Princess be so swift

...to the point where he suddenly realized that after ending the court session and leaving Taihe Palace, he had unexpectedly encountered the Crown Princess again. It was as if he had never left her sight. This absurd situation was strikingly apparent.

Here comes another one.

Su Jinpa glanced at Qian Kangtai, but didn't take him to heart.

To her, Qian Kangtai was nothing more than a nobody, someone whose name wasn't even worth remembering. His existence held no significance, so naturally, she had no reason to care about him.

Even a high-ranking official like Bian Guan Yue, the Minister of Justice, was only worthy of a passing mention in her memory. Her true focus always lay with individuals like Fu Yu Zhi and Zhao Xuan Ji, those who were at the heart of the imperial court's political maelstrom.

His gaze naturally shifted to Liu Sichun standing behind Qian Kangtai.

For some reason, perhaps a woman's intuition, Su Jinping felt a slight dislike towards Liu Sichun...

Liu Sichun is pretty enough, young enough, and most importantly, she has enough taste.

Su Jinpa knew that a woman like this was already qualified to enter the prince's line of sight.

Facts also prove that someone who could be supported several times by the prince, even given the salt transport business at the beginning, and later allowed to participate in money house operations, now even granted the right to issue national debt, if there was no other story, Su Jinping wouldn't believe it.

Liu Sichun was different from Zhao Ruirui in the East Palace. Su Jinpa saw at a glance that this woman was not someone who would be content to live an ordinary life.

She, does not like Liu Sichun. inform His Highness.”Sānbǎo nodded, and in the next instant, his figure vanished from where he stood, appearing at the gate of the Taihé Hall.Before he could even speak, the palace gate had been open...
