The Qin Dynasty had strict etiquette, with specific requirements for addressing superiors.

The emperor reigns supreme.

Others and their positions are not entitled to be addressed as "mountain-call" .

Listening to the sound of a thousand years beside her, Su Jinpa had a moment of bewilderment.

From now on, she will be living here as the mistress of this house.

The next relocation will most likely be when her husband ascends to the throne and becomes emperor, moving from the East Palace into the imperial palace.

Though she had mentally prepared herself countless times to accept this, Su Jinping was still feeling a bit lost at this moment.

She didn't know if she was ready or not, she just felt lost and unsure of what the future held.

"Let's go."

Li Chen took Su Jinpa's hand, interrupting her thoughts.

Walking side by side, they passed through the aisle cleared by the kneeling crowd and arrived under the eaves of Xizheng Hall. Li Chen turned to Su Jinpa and said, "From now on, you are the mistress of this place. As the Crown Princess, say a few words to them. The rules here will be set by you from now on."

This last sentence is for everyone in the East Palace to hear.

Let them know that the Crown Prince will not interfere in the affairs of the East Palace's harem. Everything is decided by Su Jinpa, the Crown Princess.

The crowd's emotions were tense, with some accepting reality and others filled with anxiety. However, each person wore a respectful expression on their face, not daring to show the slightest doubt.

Su Jinpa looked at them and said softly, "I... this palace."

Having realized that from now on, she had to officially change her ways, Su Jinpa was still a little uncomfortable. But she continued, "This palace is not a harsh person, and only hopes that everyone can be well. The East Palace, both inside and out, has only one important thing to do, which is to serve the Prince well. Besides that, I have nothing else to say, all of you get up."

Everyone thanked him and stood up.

Su Jinpa continued, "Today is a big wedding day. As the Crown Princess, this palace must show its generosity. Each person will be rewarded with three times their monthly salary in red envelopes."

This remark made all the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards smile with delight.

After all, nobody dislikes money.

Li Chen is also very satisfied.

Regardless, Su Jinpa has truly entered the Eastern Palace.

“The Coming-of-Age Hall in the East Palace has already been cleaned. The servants will use the things you brought from your family, things you are familiar with and accustomed to using. If you need anything, just ask Wan Jiaojiao to do it for you. If you're bored, chatting with Zhao Rui is also a good idea.”

Listening to Li Chen's words, Su Jinpa nodded gently.

"Well, you must be tired today. Go home and rest first."

Su Jinpa's hands and feet froze, looking at Li Chen with some hesitation and uncertainty.

What is the last step in a wedding ceremony

Su Jin's mind had been restless all day, and this was the main reason.

And Li Chen didn't care at first, but seeing Su Jinpa's unusual expression, he immediately understood.

"I'm very tired today too, you rest first and get a good night's sleep."

Li Chen's words relieved Su Jin, but also brought a strange and indescribable feeling.

After all, in the values of this era, on the wedding night, if a woman does not allow her husband to enter the room, it is considered unwomanly. Not only can the husband divorce his wife, he may even drag the woman to be dunked in a pig cage.

Su Jinping wasn't at risk of being divorced or having a dunking in a pigsty, but she also felt some guilt.

Thank you.

Hearing Su Jinping's apology-laced thanks, Li Chen smiled and waved his hand, signaling for her to be escorted to the palace.

Su Jinpa bowed and then left.

Li Chen turned around and asked with a sullen face, "Where's Wan Jiaojiao"ide the carriage, the coachman's reminder brought Zhang Biwu back to reality. He was startled to realize that an hour's journey had passed without him noticing.Lifting the curtain, Zhang Biwu gazed at...
