The Empresss smile vanished from her face, and her confidence was shaken. She never expected that on this joyous day, she would be pressured into marriage by the officials.

Could it be that this was her greatest fear?

The Empress sighed, Ministers, rest assured, I have already made preparations in that regard. But these matters cannot be rushed; we must take our time.

The Minister of Rites anxiously replied, Your Majesty, time is of the essence! You must understand that as you grow older, the risks of pregnancy increase, and it could even be life-threatening! Therefore, we implore Your Majesty to choose a spouse quickly and bear a royal heir!

Please, Your Majesty, choose a spouse quickly and bear a royal heir! echoed the officials in unison.

The Empresss headache intensified. She responded, I know, and I have been making preparations. Cant that be enough?

Your Majesty, youve been saying youre preparing, but over these years, weve seen you engrossed in state affairs without any visible preparations! The Minister of Rites urgently exclaimed.

The Empress grew impatient, Ministers, rest assured, I have already selected the Prince Consort. Isnt that enough?

The Empress has already selected a Prince Consort? The entire hall was in an uproar.

Your Majesty, who is this person? the Minister of Rites pressed for details.

The Empress was furious, Ive been open about having a Prince Consort. Why must you

Your Majesty, we have to ask! You are the reigning monarch, and the fate of the entire nation rests on your shoulders alone! Therefore, the selection of the Prince Consort must be done with the utmost care!

The Minister of Rites bowed and continued, First, their character must be impeccable, their conduct and demeanor must be appropriate. Second, their family background must be compatible; we mustnt burden Your Majesty. Lastly, they must be highly educated and able to assist Your Majesty. This is a matter we cannot afford to take lightly!

The Minister of Rites respectfully implored, So, Your Majesty, please reveal the identity of the Empress Prince Consort!

The entire assembly of civil and military officials chimed in, Please, Your Majesty, reveal the Empress Prince Consort! At this moment, the Empress was both embarrassed and angry. She wished she could punish these officials severely, but doing so might lead to a political crisis.

Ministers, rest assured, the person Ive chosen has impeccable character, a suitable family background, and is unparalleled in knowledge. I guarantee that you wont be disappointed! The Empress declared loudly.

In that case, who is this person, Your Majesty? Its not something shameful, so why not reveal it? The Minister of Rites grew increasingly impatient.

Please, Your Majesty, inform us! echoed the entire assembly of civil and military officials. The Empress glanced nervously at Lin Beifan, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. She quickly turned back, trying to act as if nothing had happened. However, that one glance did not escape the notice of the cunning officials in the room. After all, they were all sly old foxes!

People become wiser with age!

At this moment, all the officials in the court finally realized it! It turns out that Her Majesty has set her sights on Prime Minister Lin!

Upon careful consideration, everyone realized that Lin Beifan was the most suitable candidate. Firstly, he currently holds the position of Prime Minister and Supreme Commander of the Army, and hes also the loyal and brave King at this moment, making him one of the highest-ranking individuals in Great Wu. In terms of status, he is indeed a match for the Empress. Secondly, his abilities are outstanding. Otherwise, he wouldnt have risen through the ranks to this extent in just three short years.

Looking across the land, there is no one who can surpass him. Lastly, their ages are not too far apart, and their appearances complement each other perfectly.

Aside from some minor concerns about character, they couldnt think of a more suitable candidate for the position of Prince Consort than Lin Beifan.

Upon closer examination, everyone suddenly realized that Her Majesty had set her sights on the Prime Minister a long time ago!

Yes, this matter shouldnt be delayed! The lower officials are already looking forward to toasting the Prime Minister at the wedding! Hehe!

Lin Beifan felt overwhelmed. He had only attended a regular court meeting, and now he had gained not only a wife but also the pressure of a wedding, all while being urged by the entire court.

He also had the urge to escape. However, at this moment, the officials surrounded him, not giving him a chance to flee.

Gossip and rumors spread easily, especially when it concerned well-known figures. Just after the court meeting had ended, rumors about the Empress and the Prime Minister had already spread throughout the city, and the common people were discussing it with great interest.

So, the Empress had already chosen a Prince Consort, and that person is the Prime Minister?

They are of similar age, have compatible statuses, and exceptional abilities. Under their leadership, Great Wu has prospered and improved day by day. I fully support their marriage!

Absolutely agree! They are a perfect match, like a match made in heaven!

With them, Great Wu will enjoy stability and prosperity!

Especially Prime Minister Lin, Ive always been afraid that someone with too much power would be purged by Her Majesty. But if he becomes Her Majestys partner, there wont be that danger anymore! Theyre all one family, and theyll reconcile after any disagreements in bed!

I just want to know when theyll hold the grand wedding!

Im curious too, hehe!

These gossip and rumors quickly reached the Lin residence, leaving the Lin family in shock.

The Empress has set her sights on Young Master? She wants to make him the Comsort?

During dinner, the little princess couldnt contain her excitement as she asked, Lin Beifan, is it true what theyre saying outside? Has the Empress really set her sights on you and wants to make you the Prince Consort? Lin Beifan sighed and replied, Rumors often have some basis in truth. What do you think?

In fact, I had already noticed a while ago, Li Shi Shi said as she served Lin Beifan a dish, smiling. In these past few days, Ive observed how much attention Her Majesty has been giving you, which goes beyond a normal relationship. Although Her Majesty is the ruler of a nation, fundamentally, she is still a woman. When a woman cares so much about another man, it indicates that shes had intentions for a while.

Sister Shi Shi is absolutely right! I also believe that Her Majesty has long favored Master, Mo Rushuang added with a smile.

That would be great! If Lin Beifan truly becomes the Prince Consort, then my sister, the Empress, and the big villain can be together forever! The young princess cheered enthusiastically.

Youre thinking too simplistically! Our statuses and positions are complicated. Shes the ruler, and Im her subject. Things wont be that simple, Lin Beifan said, delivering a playful punch without much seriousness.

Of course! Her Majesty is very kind, but its you whos making it complicated! The young princess pouted, feeling a little dejected.

Husband, actually, this situation might be good, Li Shi Shi whispered in Lin Beifans ear, speaking softly. In this way, we wont have to run around anymore. We can stay in Great Wu peacefully without leaving our hometown and go into exile.

Yeah! Lin Beifan suddenly realized that it might not be a bad idea.

If he became the Empresss partner, even if things were exposed in the future, she would probably forgive him, right?

Lin Beifan touched his own handsome face. With this exquisite appearance, if he used his charm, he should be able to captivate her, right?

Lin Beifan nodded confidently.

Hmm, it should work!
