After Yu Liang, Yu Ningmeng, Kong Hanyue, and other informed individuals followed suit one after another, Xia Yu explained the situation to each of them. The entire morning was spent in a flurry of phone calls.
In the afternoon, he once again entered Zhu Mei’s body, conversing with the young girl and simultaneously helping her maintain control over District 14.
Although the upper echelons of both the Anti-King and Pro-King factions had already accepted Zhu Mei, the grassroots members and the fence-sitters outside the two factions still needed to be addressed.
It took more than half a month for Xia Yu and Zhu Mei to basically resolve these issues.
One month later, Xia Yu, Xu Youxiang, and An Siyao boarded a plane heading to District 14.
Xia Yu saw Zhu Mei every day, so there was nothing special to say. He went out to enjoy the scenery of District 14, while the three women held a secret discussion together.
Xia Yu enjoyed himself thoroughly, and their talks went smoothly. Upon returning, they began consciously spreading information around, laying the necessary groundwork.
…
A year later, on the Da Liang Weibo platform.

Putting down her phone, Gui Zixiao pulled out the invitation letter sent by Xia Yu and called him: “Holy crap, you’re really marrying the Queen?”
“Are you coming then?” Xia Yu asked.
“Definitely, definitely!” Gui Zixiao replied excitedly and hung up.
No sooner had Xia Yu put his phone down than it rang again.
“Boss, you’re truly amazing,” Duan Yi’s voice came through. “Are you really up to it? That’s three women, after all!”
“Cut the crap and go play your games!” Xia Yu snapped and hung up.
He didn’t put the phone away but held it, waiting. Sure enough, another call came moments later.
This time it was Liu Ronglan.
“I always knew you had a lot of romantic luck, but I never imagined you’d be this impressive,” Liu Ronglan marveled. “Too bad—you might have been my granddaughter’s husband-in-law.”
“Are you coming, Grandma?” Xia Yu changed the subject.
“I won’t come. I’m too old, and flying makes me uncomfortable,” Liu Ronglan said a few more things and then hung up.
Next came a call from Qin Youliang.
“Brother Yu, you’re just too amazing. Although we previously knew you had something going on with An Siyao and Xu Youxiang, I never thought you’d actually marry two of them—and even throw in a queen!” Qin Youliang gushed with admiration.
Fortunately, he realized Xia Yu must be extremely busy lately and ended his chatter after four minutes.
“There’s something you might have already forgotten, but I still need to mention it,” Qin Youliang said. “Remember how someone was trying to smear you on the school forum before? This year, he tried the same trick again and got caught—it was Yi Shiyou, and he’s now been expelled.”
Xia Yu paused for a moment before recalling this matter.
After hanging up, he put his phone back into his pocket and walked out of the room.
In the garden, An Siyao, Xu Youxiang, and Zhu Mei were together. An Siyao was looking at the flowers, Xu Youxiang was chasing butterflies, and Zhu Mei was sitting on a stone bench, handling official affairs.
Entering the garden, Xia Yu first took the laptop from Zhu Mei’s lap.
“You shouldn’t be dealing with anything at a time like this,” Xia Yu closed the laptop and put it aside.
Then, he went behind Xu Youxiang and steadied her as she bounced around unsteadily due to her recently healed leg.
“Don’t strain your leg,” Xia Yu helped Xu Youxiang sit down on the stone bench and caught a butterfly for her.
Finally, he went behind An Siyao and hugged the young woman.
“You can’t cut these flowers to put in a vase,” Xia Yu said.
An Siyao looked very disappointed.
“Just cut them. They’re only flowers,” Zhu Mei supported An Siyao.
“Then go ahead and cut them. She can decide about hers,” Xia Yu said.
“For now, it’s still hers. In three days, it’ll be ours,” Zhu Mei sat beside Xu Youxiang.
She turned to Xu Youxiang: “Have your family members arrived yet?”
“They should be landing soon,” Xu Youxiang answered.
As she spoke, her phone rang.
The cheerful laughter of Xu’s parents flowed from the speaker.
Xu’s mother joyfully said, “You wouldn’t believe how shocked our neighbors were when they saw a fleet of cars come to pick me up and a bunch of foreigners calling me ‘Your Ladyship.’ And those invitation letters you gave us—our relatives are practically fighting over them!”
Xu Youxiang’s worries completely disappeared. She asked, “Where are you now?”
“We’re almost there. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever stayed in a palace! Your father is asking if he can touch the throne,” Xu’s mother said.
Xia Yu, eavesdropping nearby, took the phone: “We’ve prepared photographers. When you and Dad arrive, we’ll take a photo of you sitting on the throne.”
“That’s great, that’s great indeed,” Xu’s mother said happily.
After returning the phone to Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu took the opportunity to pinch her cheek. Seeing the angry yet restrained expression on Xu Youxiang’s face because she was talking to her mother, Xia Yu felt extremely pleased.
Seeing this scene, An Siyao tugged Xia Yu’s clothes: “Mei and I have something we want to show you.”
“Hmm? What is it?” Xia Yu looked at the two women curiously.
“You’ll know if you follow us,” Zhu Mei and An Siyao took Xia Yu’s hand.
Following them to the bedroom, Xia Yu was left outside as they opened the door.
Five minutes later, the bedroom door opened again, and Xia Yu saw the two women had changed clothes.
Zhu Mei wore a pair of bear ears on her head, while An Siyao wore rabbit ears. An Siyao was dressed as a bunny girl, and Zhu Mei wore a bear-themed version of the bunny girl outfit.
“What are you two doing?” Xia Yu felt desire, but also some confusion.
“Don’t look at me. It was Yaoyao’s idea,” Zhu Mei immediately implicated An Siyao.
“You said you liked pets before,” An Siyao said nervously. “Don’t you like it?”
“Of course I do,” Xia Yu stepped forward, wrapped his arms around the two women’s waists, and closed the bedroom door.
In the garden, Xu Youxiang waited for a long time but didn’t see the three return. Following the clues, she arrived at the bedroom door and was also pulled in by Xia Yu.
Two hours later, when Xu’s father and mother arrived at the palace, they found their three daughters-in-law-to-be all with flushed faces.
They looked at Xia Yu, who appeared perfectly normal.
Their final lingering concern vanished completely.
Xu’s father quietly asked Xia Yu, “What kind of health supplements are you taking? Can you give me some?”
Xia Yu answered straightforwardly, “I don’t take any, but our chef can make something special. I’ll have a bowl prepared for you tonight.”
“Just don’t tell your mother.”
“I know.”
The two exchanged knowing smiles like true men of the world.
