I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

When Zhao Li woke up, Ye Ze was no longer by her side. Recalling what happened between them last night, she shyly pulled the thin quilt over her and buried her head in it. Only after the blush on her face faded did Zhao Li get up and get dressed.

After a simple breakfast, Zhao Li took the initiative to ask to learn the rules because of the palace banquet in the afternoon. She didn't want to embarrass Ye Ze at the palace banquet.

Jin Xin felt relieved when she heard this. Her queen finally knew what to do for the emperor.

Inside Fengyi Palace

Zhao Li let the palace maids change her clothes and dress her up. Jin Xin smiled and told her that the emperor had moved his study to a side hall in Fengyi Palace.

Jin Xin couldn't hide her joy on her face. The emperor moved his study to Fengyi Palace, which meant that he would come to their place every day and her queen would be able to see him every day.

After listening to her, Zhao Li said as a matter of course: "Where would he go if he didn't come to my place? You are just worrying about nothing."

"Yes, yes, it's my ignorance. No one can take away our queen's favor!" Jin Xin said happily.

After dressing up Zhao Li, Jin Xin asked the palace maids to leave. Zhao Li wore a phoenix robe and a nine-tailed phoenix crown on her head. The golden tassels on the crown swayed gently, and the bright pearls dotted it, sparkling with brilliance, which made her look more graceful and elegant.

"Our queen is so beautiful, no one can compare to her." Jin Xin praised generously.

Zhao Li looked at herself in the mirror. Well, she did look good. She had never dressed so carefully before.

But... "Am I dressed too cumbersomely?" She felt it was inconvenient for her to walk, and the clothes were too thick. It's summer now!

"Not at all!" Jin Xin raised her hand to help her smooth down her tassels, and reminded her, "Your Majesty, please stop calling me 'I' and 'I' in the future. You must call yourself 'this palace'! That way you will have dignity."

"This palace? This palace..." Zhao Li murmured softly several times, then smiled and said, "Okay, I get it."

Jin Xin: “…”

How could she not worry when faced with a master like this?

Next, Jin Xin taught Zhao Li simple etiquette such as etiquette, walking, and drinking tea. After all, time was limited and she didn't have time to teach too much.

It was almost noon when Ye Ze returned to Fengyi Palace.

Zhao Li smiled, walked lightly to Ye Ze, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

What is going on here?

"Queen, please stand up." Ye Ze said in agreement. He kept looking Zhao Li up and down, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Li'er looked so beautiful when she was dressed up, so beautiful that it was beyond description...

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Li stood up straight and asked, "My husband, how do you think I have learned the etiquette of etiquette?"

Ye Ze frowned. So she didn't dress up just for me, but to learn the rules? "Why did you suddenly think of learning the rules?"

"For tonight's palace banquet, I don't want to embarrass you." Zhao Li pursed her lips and answered truthfully. Even though she was Mu Heng's biological daughter, it couldn't change the fact that she grew up in the countryside. She was just a village girl, and the guests at the palace banquet were all ladies from various mansions. She didn't want to be laughed at.

Ye Ze understood, stepped forward and hugged her slender waist, asked her to face him, and said seriously: "Just be yourself, in my harem you just need to be happy every day, you don't need to cater to others for anything. I finally became the emperor, do you still have to act according to others' wishes? Hmm?"

Zhao Li reacted a little slowly. Yes, she was the queen, the most honorable woman in Qian Kingdom. Who would dare to laugh at her?

"Jinxin, help me change my clothes quickly. I'm almost dying of heat wearing this." Zhao Li said, then broke free from Ye Ze's arms and ran towards the inner hall.

Jin Xin hurriedly followed, "My queen, please run slower..."

Ye Ze shook his head and laughed. He liked Zhao Li's gentle yet slightly prickly nature, but he didn't want her to be bound by the palace rules and become rigid. That would be so boring.

......

On the other hand, all the ministers who had returned home began to get busy, preparing for the palace banquet in the afternoon.

Each official could bring two family members into the palace, one of which would be taken by the mistress of the house, and the other would be chosen from the younger generation in the family.

As for Liu Jin, he couldn't help feeling a little scared even after returning home. After changing out of his court robes, Liu Jin told his wife what had happened in the court today. He originally wanted his wife to help him with some advice, even if it was just to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, his good wife said coldly: "Just call that little bitch Meng back. You haven't divorced her, so isn't she still yours?"

Liu Jin suddenly realized it, punched his palm and laughed: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Meng will definitely go to the palace banquet today. I have to think about how to explain this to her when I see her..."

Mrs. Liu Wen was furious, but she asked calmly, "You still have them and their son in your heart, right? After all, I haven't been able to give birth to a son for you in all these years."

Liu Jin didn't realize what his wife meant by that. He sighed and said, "Why are you saying that? When I bring Madam Meng back home, won't I have both a son and a daughter? This time I must train Zhier well. With the relationship with Grand Tutor Meng, Zhier will surely be able to make a name for himself in the future!"

Wen's face darkened a little, and she asked, "Then between me and her, who is the wife and who is the concubine?"

"Of course she will be the legal wife! Okay, go and get busy. You don't have to accompany me to the palace banquet this afternoon, otherwise Meng will feel uncomfortable seeing you." Liu Jin glanced at Wen impatiently and blurted out.

Do you still think you are the daughter of a Shangshu family? Your family was confiscated and exiled. If you hadn't married me, you would have been exiled too!

Wen's eyes were red, but she dared not say anything. Without her mother's family to support her, what could she do alone in the Liu Mansion? It was all her fault that she was blind to fall in love with such a man! He only had himself in his heart!

Wen suppressed her anger, turned around and walked out, but tears couldn't help but fall down her face.

Another person who regretted the same thing was the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Xu Huaizhou. If he had known that the Mu family would have a chance to succeed, what would have mattered if he had put on a show in front of the Mu family for the rest of his life?

Unlike now, he wished he could shrink into a quail and not be noticed by anyone. And his official career would probably end here!

The afternoon palace banquet was held in Xiangqing Hall, with seats arranged according to the rank of officials, the lower the official rank, the further back the seat was.

The first to enter the palace were naturally the old ministers of the previous dynasty. They were now much more low-key, bowing and scraping everywhere, and compromising. Even the eunuchs who led the way for them in the palace had to say thank you.

If it were in the past, they wouldn't even bother to look at a little eunuch like this whose name they couldn't even remember!

Because of their curiosity, Shouhou and Goudan also entered the palace early, so their positions were much closer to the front. Although their rank was only marquis, their seats were second only to the two princes.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Wearing brocade and gorgeous clothes, how can the skinny monkey and the goudan look like the gangsters they used to be? They are clearly two elegant gentlemen!
