A month later, the Emperor personally conducted a big wedding ceremony for the Crown Prince and Li Yu.
The Emperor was extremely satisfied with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was developing more and more ideas and thoughts of his own.
A year later, the Emperor passed on the throne to the Crown Prince. He himself became the retired Emperor and spent his days leisurely playing with his grandkids.
On the day the new Emperor ascended the throne, a general amnesty was granted to all.
Furthermore, standing firm against the opinion of the masses, the new Emperor made Taizi-fei, Li Yu, into the Regent Empress.
Normally when a new Emperor ascended the throne, they would start expanding their harem.
However, this one did not. From Jing-wang to the Crown Prince to now, there has only been one person by his side. Even the Empress title that he had granted was unprecedented– the Regent
Empress.
This was something people could never even dream of.
The Emperor loved his Empress very much. Of course, this Empress Li Yu also displayed extraordinary skills himself.
The husbands joined forces and started to make drastic reforms. These reforms brought about 800 years of prosperity. However, this is all stories for a later time.
After the new Emperor ascended the throne, other than establishing his Empress, he focused on another urgent matter– the renovation of the Imperial Palace.
Those who were familiar with the Crown Prince's estate, for example Wang-gonggong, Ye-shizi, weren't surprised by this at all.
The Emperor, who had once renovated his estate into a huge pond, now was obstinate in renovating the Imperial Palace into an even bigger and more spectacular lake. It's said that the entire Imperial City's beautiful sceneries were miniaturized at the bottom of the water, giving the lake its glorified name – the Crystal Palace.
What lived inside the Crystal Palace was the pet fish that the Emperor had raised all this time since he was still a wangye– a Koi that was silver with mixed gold. People can often catch sight of it.
This Koi was always seen frolicing with a huge black fish. Sometimes, some smaller fishes would appear by their side. At first, there were four. Later on, there were five. People all say, pets take after their masters. Just look at the fishes that his majesty, the Emperor, had raised.
They really seemed just like the entire royal family, with the Emperor and Empress, the Princes, and the little Princess.
