The new emperor just realized that the peach blossom disaster he avoided seven years ago was actually with Yuanyuan.
He's furious. He could have met Yuanyuan seven years earlier, but Shen Wu intervened, delaying it by seven years!
Now, he actually dares to advise me not to make her the Empress. This is simply outrageous.
With new and old grudges combined, the new emperor smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement, and said:
"Shen Wu, over these years, I see you're looking younger and younger. It's good to be young, competent. And you've been very dedicated in assisting me.
How about this, after Yuanyuan and I have a Crown Prince, I grant you the honor of assisting my Crown Prince. When he ascends the throne, have him confer upon you the title of State Preceptor. This way, you'd be the only one in this dynasty to assist two Crown Princes and have experienced three eras.
