The Regent's Princess Consort Is Doted On Every Day

When Xue Jiahe was fifteen, she was brought from a small mountain village to the imperial palace. Only then did she learn that she was the emperor's illegitimate daughter, who had been left behind outside the palace. She had unexpectedly gained a father and a younger brother. But half a year later, the emperor died. Xue Jiahe held the three successive edicts the late emperor had left behind and read them one by one. The first appointed the eight-year-old crown prince as the new emperor. The second made Rong Jue, a prince of a different surname, regent to assist the new emperor until he could rule in his own right. The third betrothed Princess Sui Jing, Xue Jiahe, to the regent as his consort, with the wedding to be held on an auspicious day. She looked at the edicts, then at the bewildered young emperor, and then at the cold-faced man before her. She shut her eyes and gritted her teeth. Fine, she would marry him! * Everyone at court and throughout the realm knew how Princess Sui Jing had earned her title. She was a pawn the late emperor had placed at the regent's side to soothe him, keep him from rebelling, and ensure he would assist the new emperor. The ambitious regent, meanwhile, saw her as a thorn in his side. Then one day, at morning court, all the civil and military officials had gathered to pay their respects, but the regent was nowhere to be seen. The young emperor waved a hand. "My imperial sister made the regent kneel all night yesterday. He won't be coming to court today." The officials: ...Her Highness is mighty indeed. * Please note: 1.
