“The Grand Princess has taken another new imperial consort!”
The Grand Princess Shangguan Yu, who rules the Great Zhou court as regent, has been very busy lately:
She’s cleaning out corruption in the court, handling wars on the frontier, and still finding time to marry all three of her sworn enemies!
✨ “The Straight-Talking Censor” Pei Jingci:
“Your Highness is domineering and abuses her power!” “You live in extravagant excess!” “...But you look beautiful when you’re saving people.”
From a minister who argued with everyone to a devoted imperial consort, he was the first to bend the knee.
“The Jade-Faced Asura” Xie Huaizhou:
The naval commander appears to rebel, but is actually baiting his enemies into exposing themselves.
“If Your Highness doesn’t trust me, why dare take me as your consort?”
This maritime overlord puts all his lifelong schemes to use weaving her a wedding gown.
⚔️ “Shadowless Sword” Xiao Heng:
The emperor’s eldest son, long lost beyond the palace, could have fought for the throne, yet willingly conceals his identity to serve as a guard.
“That throne means less to me than a single strand of your hair.”
When Shangguan Yu lifts all three red bridal veils at once, she declares:
“I want both the empire and the beauties. Any objections?”
The assembled officials watch as all three imperial consorts, each commanding their own troops, shake their heads in unison.
