The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

"Miss, are you awake?"

"what?"

With his numb arms hanging down, Mu Lianzhi yawned, obviously not getting enough sleep or sleeping well.

"It's a palace dress sent by the palace. I don't know whether it's the Queen's idea or His Majesty's preference. Anyway, His Majesty needs to wear uniform clothes in front of the palace this afternoon."

"I just heard the noise and went out to ask and take a look. Almost every young lady who has not married has one set. They are all the same."

"The eldest lady also got a share."

"Your Majesty may not arrive until around 3 p.m., so we still have more than an hour to prepare. I heard that the Empress from the Palace is on her way, and the Queen Mother will probably come as well."

"Miss, you should change quickly as well. We may all have to gather in the main hall soon."

"If you don't wake up, I will have to call you."

Putting down the tray and explaining, Leng Yun had already taken out a wet towel from behind the screen on one side:

"Miss, please tidy up. Fortunately, we carry bronze mirrors with us, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome. I went out and took a look around, but I didn't see any young lady or lady in any room really crawling into bed and sleeping soundly like you."

Just bending over the table for a moment is not enough.

Shaking his head, Leng Yun's eyes and brows showed a smile unconsciously. It is hard not to like such a true-hearted master.

Looking at the pink and white girl's shirt on the tray, Mu Lianzhi frowned:

"They don't even have to wear official uniforms, so why do they ask women to change clothes halfway through the journey?"

Is this intended to be formal or informal?

That doesn't make sense.

"Miss, you didn't listen to me just now. It's possible that one of the ladies came up with this idea on a whim, or was trying to please His Majesty, or was afraid that His Majesty would take a fancy to someone on a whim."

Everyone is wearing the same clothes, so there should be few people who can stand out from the crowd!

"That makes sense. I had forgotten about His Majesty's words."

Mu Lianzhi thought exactly the opposite of what she did. She felt that neither possibility was likely. After all, there were many concubines in the harem and many adult and promising princes. One more person vying for favor would not affect the overall situation at all. Mobilizing such a large force might even backfire.

Another possibility is to make them all green leaves to set off a specific red flower.

But no matter what the reason is, it is the same end. Mu Lianzhi also realized that if he wants to leave an impression on people, he cannot be too outstanding, otherwise he might really cause trouble and make others jealous.

His Majesty is the biggest and irresistible unknown.

In this era of male supremacy and male superiority over women, it is so damn difficult. One mistake can lead to a pit.

As she was thinking, she had already taken off the two colorful silk flowers on her head, and then took her clothes to change behind the screen.

After changing her clothes, she put on the gourd bag she was carrying. This was a new model of bag that her store would launch in the future. She wore it on purpose this time to promote it before the sale.

As for the advertising effect, you can make money by attracting every one you attract.

After getting dressed, she did not go out for a wander again, waiting for someone to come and notify her to gather at the playground. When she heard the noise outside that most people had dispersed, she went out slowly.

"Miss, why are you so listless at this critical moment? Being late and neglectful is a serious crime."

Pointing to the sky, Leng Yun was speechless:

Why does she deliberately hold back at the critical moment?

"Why are you in such a hurry? The chief eunuch you can imagine is definitely more thoughtful than you think. Since he notified us to arrive at 5 p.m., it would be early for His Majesty to arrive at 5 p.m."

He would give himself plenty of time and not be accused of failing to do his job well.

When Mu Lianzhi said that, Leng Yun felt reassured. She looked at the figures running around and she was no longer panicked.

"That's what the lady said."

"Let them go first. Anyway, I have no interest in paying homage to the Holy Spirit. It's fine as long as I can arrive at 3 p.m."

"Miss, let's go north. It's a little roundabout and a small road, so there must be fewer people there."

"Ah."

As they talked, the two of them turned toward the north corridor, and sure enough, their ears suddenly became quiet.

Yingfeng had just come back from doing some errands. When he looked up at the fork in the road, he saw this scene. A black shadow flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Beitang Yi had just finished listening to his subordinates' report when he suddenly heard Ying Feng's whisper. His face suddenly darkened:

"You read that right?"

"I saw Leng Yun, so I'm probably right."

"This troublesome guy, does he really want to die?"

How dare she wear anything?

With a "tsk" sound, Beitang Yi gritted his teeth until they chattered:

"Which way did she go?"

"The north gate should be Xixuan Road."

The next second, the two figures quickly disappeared in the courtyard.

……

Although he chose to take a detour, Mu Lianzhi did not delay along the way.

"It's just past the palace in front, right? Why did you choose the west playground? If we went to the east, we could save a lot of time."

"I don't think there's enough space for that many tables in the East District. Besides, the West Square will definitely have better sunlight in the afternoon. I heard there will be archery, horseback riding, and wrestling competitions here in the morning. It's going to be very lively."

After telling her what he had heard, Leng Yun still looked envious:

"It's a pity that there are no young masters or masters who are good at martial arts in our mansion. Otherwise, we would have an excuse to come here earlier to feast our eyes and maybe win a lot of prizes."

"Dusty places are only for you."

Where there are a lot of men, the air is probably filled with the stench of sweat. What's good about being dirty?

Swinging his sleeves, Mu Lianzhi stopped and turned around. Just as he was about to tease her, the door on the side suddenly opened, a big hand stretched out, and the next second, she was dragged in.

"what!"

"Miss--"

Instinctively reaching out, Leng Yun was about to grab, but another arm stretched out, and the two of them exchanged a few quick moves. She spun around, and just as she was about to use her strength, a familiar face entered her field of vision:

"Lord Kagekaze?"

When she suddenly turned her head to look at the closed door again, all the strength in her body was gone:

Is it the Lord?

Then, Ying Feng's internal force was also removed:

"follow me."

……

Inside the house, Mu Lianzhi was really frightened after several spins and staggers. She screamed and instinctively reached for the hairpin on her head. As soon as she pulled it out, someone grabbed her wrist tightly.

A force of pushing came over her, and then she was pressed down by someone, with her back pressed against the pillar:

"let me go--"

Suddenly raising her eyes, the familiar handsome face's pupils dilated without warning, and Mu Lianzhi couldn't help but be startled:

Beitang Yi, why is it him?

"What do you mean, sir?"

He shouldn't be so petty as to settle the score with me after I say a few words to him, right?

After struggling several times without success, Mu Lianzhi glared angrily. Just as she was about to raise her legs, the golden hairpin in her hand was snatched away by someone, and then her jaw was also grabbed:

"Do you know what you are wearing?"

His cold eyes swept over her stunning appearance, and without waiting for her to answer, Beitang Yi continued:

"The palace selection dress! A widow is trying so hard to become a royal wife. Once you show up and are noticed, do you know what this means?"
