On the day of the wedding, Shen Yangui waited in the snow for half an hour. When the regent came to hold other people's hands and enter the palace to worship, she, the majestic princess, entered the palace through the corner gate and was placed in a remote snowy hut, which became a joke in the whole capital. She originally thought she would spend the rest of her life in a side courtyard, but unexpectedly that night, the regent suddenly rushed over and not only dealt with the bully, but also knelt at her feet... He always remembered that he had not attended the wedding, and he felt guilty and said he wanted to make amends. Shen Yangui thought that his compensation was to seize the throne and make himself the queen, but he did not expect that he would only pave the way for him to become the emperor. He taught her how to read, read, and govern the country. He entrusted her with the palace, fortune, wealth, and important officials, as well as his own life. Together they fight against bandits, control floods, eradicate plagues, and go into battle to expand frontiers in armor. He helped her stabilize the court and win the hearts of the people, and sent her to become the Ninth Five-year-old. "This time, I'll wait in the snow for you to come and welcome me." The regent, who held all the power in the government, was willing to take a back seat and take care of his wife and raise his daughter.

It's very suitable for getting home from get off work and preparing some snacks to lie down. Watching it on the bed is very relaxing and comfortable, and I feel full of happiness. You must read it.
