Su Pingbei was taken aback at first, then said with an awkward expression: "This subordinate...will obey."

This is not a military order.

Li Chen looked at him and said, "Falling in love is your own business. This marriage proposal is for you, but the feelings are yours. If you really can't get along, this palace won't force you to marry."

Although Li Chen benefited from a feudal marriage, he is ultimately a modern soul who cares about personal feelings within the marriage.

Think about it differently, if Su Jinpa was unbelievably ugly, then any political interests would have to step aside. Perhaps Li Chen would still marry Su Jinpa to win over Su Zhen Ting, but he would most likely just keep her as a pet in the harem. Becoming the crown princess would be out of the question.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, after all. Once you're married, as long as it's not a major catastrophe, you'll be spending the rest of your life with that person. So Li Chen still left some room for maneuver between Li Peipei and Su Pingbei.

I really don't like it, a forced melon is not sweet, just don't get married.

Kesu Pingbei seemed to have misunderstood Li Chen's meaning. He immediately replied with confidence: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this subordinate will definitely try his best to please the princess."

Seeing Su Pingbei's straightforward expression, Li Chen rubbed his temples and said: "Whether it's a princess or an ordinary girl, you can't treat them with the same methods you use in the army. You need to guess their personality and preferences more, and take care of their feelings more. Charm them gently and you'll get what you want."

Women are mostly auditory animals, so saying a few sweet words can get twice the result with half the effort.

"My younger sister, although I don't have much contact with her, seems to be a well-mannered and educated girl. She grew up in the palace and doesn't know much about the outside world. She has a gentle temperament and isn't aggressive. I think she would be able to manage a household well. They were raised with the education of being good wives and mothers from a young age."

Don't be too blunt, be a little smooth-talking and charming. It won't be difficult to win her over.

After giving the straight-laced man Su Pingbei a crash course in love tips, Li Chen kicked him out.

As the struggle with the cabinet intensified, Li Chen had a lot on his plate and no time to spare to watch Su Ping teach him how to pick up girls.

After Su Pingbei left, Li Chen thought for a moment and called Chen Tong over.

Tonight, Zhao Taile will go to the palace to see the Empress. You arrange it and take Zhao Taile to see her.

After a pause, Li Chen added, "You handle this personally."

Chen Tong was taken aback for a moment, but he still obediently didn't ask any further questions and respectfully replied.

That day, as night just began to cover the land and many people were still eating dinner at home, Zhao Tai, who had changed his clothes, quietly arrived outside the palace.

On pins and needles, Zhao Taile carefully checked to make sure he wasn't being followed. As he gazed upon the heavily guarded palace gates in the distance, he found himself in a difficult predicament.

The Crown Prince only promised he would arrange a meeting between him and the Empress, but didn't say how he would do it.

It wouldn't be so far-fetched to ask those guards if they could let me in.

Just when Zhao Tailai was feeling troubled, Chen Tong appeared behind him without a sound.

A slap landed on Zhao Tailai's shoulder, startling him.

"It was you."

Zhao Tailai still recognized Chen Tong, this deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.

"Follow me."

Chen Tong didn't say a word, and he took Zhao Tai to walk toward a small alley on the side.utting down his bowl of soup, Li Chen stood up and said to Zhao Qinglan, "I should go now."Zhao Qinglan clutched the quilt, her voice filled with both anger and exasperation: "You just patted your but...
