Xu Wanqing was a princess of the Jin Dynasty, living extravagantly and debauchedly, and despised by all. If the young emperor hadn't protected her, people would probably have cursed her behind her back until she was dead.
Now that Wanqing had reached marriageable age without a match, and another stack of petitions impeaching her had arrived, the helpless young emperor could only tell her to choose a consort soon and set a wedding date.
Wanqing looked this way and that. The newly named top scholar at the Qionglin Banquet was quite good: gentle and refined, with a wealth of knowledge.
The young general was also not bad: graceful and spirited, with a dashing presence.
And then there was the heir of a noble family, aloof and dignified, yet kind to her. He seemed like a good choice, too.
Wanqing was torn over whom to choose.
At last, she made up her mind and planned to tell the young emperor her choice at her birthday banquet.
But who could have guessed that the Regent, her former "foe" and "mortal enemy," would show up holding a little girl?
The moment the girl saw her, she came running over on her little legs and cried excitedly, "Mama!"
Wanqing: Who are you? Who's your mama? Not me!
Nearby, the tall Regent stood there, his expression cold, as if hiding endless sorrow. He spoke: "Princess, do you no longer recognize even our child?"
