Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 583 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (2)

Li Zhan's eyes were sharp, as if all tricks were exposed in his eyes.

Shen Shuyi glanced at him secretly, a smile playing on her lips, as if she had no idea of ​​danger.

Li Zhan looked at the little princess in the hall; she was quite bold.

A hint of interest flashed in the man's eyes.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at the beauty in the hall and said, "Princess Xuanhua has come from afar and must be tired. As a princess of a country, you are of noble status and it would not be unreasonable for you to enter the palace as empress. However, His Majesty already has an empress, so how can the State of Chen wrong the princess?"

"Since the Regent has not yet taken a wife or concubine, why don't you stay at the Regent's residence?"

Emperor Chen Junliu frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong. Shen Shuyi seemed to be more beautiful than before. Could it be because of the skin change?
Why doesn't she even glance at me? Is she angry, or is she trying to complete the task more effectively?
Chen Junliu was lost in thought and neglected Consort Zhen, who had just been promoted. Lu Zhen'er noticed that his gaze was fixed on Shen Shuyi, so she bit her lip and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

The envoys from Lu dared not disobey, especially since they knew that the power in Chen was in the hands of the regent. If the princess could really become the regent's wife, it would be much more useful than being the emperor's concubine.

Therefore, the envoy hurriedly suggested that Princess Xuanhua offer a toast to Regent Li Zhan.

Shen Shuyi took a cup of wine and gracefully walked towards the Regent.

Li Zhan propped his head up with one hand, toying with the wine glass in his other hand, and looked up at the beautiful woman who was walking slowly towards him.

No woman can enter the Regent's Palace unless he gives the order.

Is it possible for the Empress Dowager and her son to use the imperial authority to force him to marry a princess for a political marriage?

Li Zhan rubbed his temples; perhaps from drinking some alcohol, his head was starting to ache again. Just as he was about to get up and leave, a delicate fragrance wafted over.

He looked up and saw the little princess approaching him with a smile.

"Your Highness, Xuanhua toasts you."

Li Zhan did not notice Princess Xuanhua's face, which was more beautiful than Xingyue's, nor her girlish voice, which was more melodious than silk and bamboo instruments.

It was the faint fragrance of winter plum blossoms emanating from her.

A sweet fragrance wafted over, and Li Zhan couldn't help but take a deep breath, instantly relieving his severe headache.

He met the girl's eyes; though she smiled, her eyes were full of helplessness, yet she dared to look at him.

Empress Dowager Liu was eager for the regent to accept the beauty, and she did not hesitate to put pressure on the court officials.

"Your Majesty, Princess Xuanhua is seventeen years old. She is the most favored princess of Lu and represents Lu's sincerity. We hope you will accept her."

A fierce glint flashed in Li Zhan's eyes.

He said calmly, "My manor is short of a maid to serve me in my daily life. Princess Xuanhua, if you don't mind, you can come."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent. Some timid and fearful individuals even shrank back, feeling they shouldn't be at this palace banquet and should be underground.
The regent openly confronted the empress dowager, which meant he was confronting the emperor; who would dare to say a word?

Even the envoy from the State of Lu dared not utter a sound when he saw his princess being humiliated.

Shen Shuyi approached Li Zhan, bent down slightly, sat down next to the Regent, and gracefully raised her wine cup to Li Zhan's lips.

“If Your Highness is willing to drink this cup of wine, Xuanhua will be happy to return to your residence with you.”

"What does it matter if I become a maid? It is an honor for Xuanhua to serve by the Prince's side."

Looking at that fair and beautiful face and listening to her soft and alluring voice, the pain in Li Zhan's head completely disappeared.

She's really brave. She's very beautiful, but her most beautiful feature is her eyes.

A smile suddenly appeared on his lips. "Whether I drink this cup of wine or not depends on your ability."

Shen Shuyi moved closer to his side, practically touching him, and even leaned half of her body against his chest.

The glass of wine in her hand wasn't offered to the Regent; the little princess took a small sip herself instead.

The wine made the girl's red lips glisten, making her look as beautiful as a bewitching enchantress.

Shen Shuyi raised her wine glass to Li Zhan, "Your Highness, this wine is very delicious, would you like to try some?" Li Zhan had never been so close to a woman before, and no woman had ever dared to lean against him so boldly.

Strangely, he was not disgusted by the little princess's approach; on the contrary, he was interested in the fragrance on her body.

All the officials and the new emperor on the dragon throne watched as Princess Xuanhua, who had come for the marriage alliance, fed the regent Li Zhan, who was feared for his life, the wine she had drunk.

Li Zhan actually drank it.

This princess sent by the State of Lu for a marriage alliance is truly extraordinary.

Not only was he unafraid of death, he even leaned into the arms of the treacherous minister and fed him wine.

Shen Shuyi wasn't afraid of death; she had calculated that Li Zhan wouldn't let her, a doctor, go.

This man wasn't after a beautiful woman; he was after a moment of mental relaxation.

Shen Shuyi took advantage of the situation and fed Li Zhan a whole glass of wine, then sat down in his lap and fed him pastries.

The key point is that she eats one piece first, and then feeds a small piece to Li Zhan.

She was simply hungry.

From the moment she entered the palace to bathe and wash, she hadn't eaten a single thing in order to fit into the small-waisted dress.

Li Zhan showed little interest, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes when he accidentally touched the girl's finger while eating pastries.

He looked down at the girl in his arms who was eating happily, and asked with great interest, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Your Highness is so majestic that Xuanhua admires you so much that she would never be afraid of you."

Li Zhan chuckled, then pulled the beauty onto his lap in front of everyone, looking down at her flushed cheeks.

"The little princess is saying 'Respect this king,' so why is her face all red?"

Shen Shuyi's slender, fair hand landed on Li Zhan's chest, her fingers gently tracing patterns on his brocade robe, her eyes filled with a charming smile.

"It is because Xuanhua both respects and admires you, admiring your extraordinary demeanor and your unparalleled talent."

Li Zhan raised his hand and pinched her chin, looking into her clear and beautiful eyes, and chuckled.

"So, in the princess's eyes, I possess unparalleled talent?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes remained unchanged, her expression one of submission, as she spoke words that everyone wanted to hear.

"Although Xuanhua lives deep in the palace, she has heard that during the years that the prince has been in power, the Chen Kingdom has been peaceful, prosperous and strong, and he is the most capable minister in the world."

"Hahaha!" Li Zhan released her chin and burst into laughter. He glanced at the crowd and asked, "Did everyone hear that?"

Princess Xuanhua said that I am the most capable minister.

Chen Junliu, sitting on the dragon throne, gritted his teeth in anger, suppressing his rage.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at Princess Xuanhua, who was kneeling on Li Zhan's lap, and realized that this woman was no ordinary person.

Fortunately, she was the emperor's person; otherwise, sending her to the regent's palace would have been a nuisance to the royal family!

The envoys from Lu were relieved; they hadn't expected the usually taciturn princess to win the regent's favor. It seemed they could return and report back safely.

Li Zhan's large hand rested on the soft, black hair of the girl on his lap, his well-defined fingers stroking it casually, as if soothing a charming cat.

A sweet fragrance wafted from his hair and reached his nose, causing him to chuckle softly.

"The little princess is truly a wonderful person."
