The Emperor was taken aback by Lian Changhe's change in attitude, utterly astonished and unable to comprehend what had transpired.
He instinctively looked towards Su Ran, who nodded at him, covering her mouth with a subtle smile as she spoke with understanding, "Your Majesty, it seems my husband has turned a corner."
The Emperor couldn't help but cast his gaze upon Lian Changhe. Having lived within the palace all his life, the familial bonds of the Royal Family were inherently faint to him. Unaccustomed to the wedding practices of the common folks, he found the situation extremely perplexing.
At times, he thought it was because he hadn't proposed with the traditional Three Letters and Six Etiquettes like the common folk, causing Lian Changhe's dissatisfaction. Other times, he considered his lack of sincerity and failure to personally visit, leading to a breach of etiquette. His mind swirled with countless considerations, unsure of how to gain Lian Changhe's approval.
