Huh????

Xiao Junran falls in love with the young emperor at first sight. He's too slow to realize it himself, but he can't help wanting to please him.
Too many memorials are keeping His Majesty from sleeping? - I'll review them!
His Majesty is craving berries from Jiangnan? - Send them here at once!
His Majesty wants to hold a selection of consorts? - I... won't allow it!

Unfortunately, the regent is cold-hearted and aloof. Liu Zechen thinks he's just a treacherous minister plotting rebellion.
He won't review the memorials because he wants to take power away from me. He's wasting manpower and money to send fruit here to ruin my reputation...
