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

"what are you doing?"

Putting down the things in his hands, Beitang Yi took a few big steps to her, stretched out his hand and pulled her up:

"It's no use trying to seduce me! Any important matter is not a reason not to go to welcome the emperor, don't be wishful thinking."

What's more, the reminder bells have already rung.

As long as she is not noticed, nothing will happen to her, but once she is singled out, she will make more mistakes.

If there is really no other choice, we can only act according to circumstances and deal with it as it comes.

"You're dreaming! There's still a lot of time between Shenshi and Youshi. I can hide for a while but not forever. It's just a palace dress. What's so difficult about that?"

This was the inspiration he had just given her when he pulled down the decorative curtains to use as a cloak.

Clothes in ancient times all had three layers inside and three layers outside. The same clothes would have a different visual effect if worn in a different way. As long as it is different, who can say that she was wearing a talent show costume?

Pushing Beitang Yi's hand away, she took off her thin shirt.

She tied the two sleeves into a knot and let them hang behind her. She folded the waist part and tied it a few times with the decorative belt of the clothes. Mu Lianzhi draped it half over her body.

After she tied the belt, she tucked it in casually and adjusted it. The long gown with a shawl turned into a slim-fitting short-sleeved one. She pressed down the small gourd bag and draped the shawl over her exposed forearms. Not a bit of skin was exposed, and it looked almost seamless, with a lazy yet neat beauty.

Turning back, Mu Lianzhi bowed to him:

"Master Beitang, is this feasible for me?"

Nodding, Beitang Yi's eyes flashed with admiration:

"I underestimated you."

What a smart woman!

Her outfit was completely different from her previous one except for the color. It was also more special, more beautiful and more presentable. This saved a lot of trouble compared to his idea.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

"Hmm~"

Knowing that he was good at martial arts and would be faster on his feet, Mu Lianzhi did not refuse. As soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed, and then she was carried sideways:

"Hold tight and close your eyes."

Mu Lianzhi did as she was told obediently, and then she felt the wind whistling in her ears, and the chest against which she was leaning was hot and firm, which inexplicably made her feel safe.

It seemed as if she had just closed her eyes for a moment, and the feeling of emptiness disappeared and her feet touched the ground.

Slowly opening her eyes, she found herself standing on the side of the rockery. Not far ahead, she could see the gate to the West Square. At this moment, many people were walking in from all directions.

"Don't worry about going in. I'll notify Leng Yun to come find you."

"it is good."

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Beitang Yi stopped again:

"Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. It is best to keep some distance from the royal family."

"Oh~"

What a fuss!

Beitang Yi turned around unconsciously, and was met with someone's perfunctory pout and an expression of impatience and disgust. Their eyes met, one was frightened, the other unhappy.

Mu Lianzhi took back her still waving hands and held them in front of her politely:

"I will keep this in mind. Thank you for your advice, sir."

Pack!

Really good at pretending~

Suddenly remembering what his subordinates had reported before about how she had used his name to bully others and seek various benefits behind the scenes, Beitang Yi's deep eyes narrowed again:

"Don't forget about the night."

When Mu Lianzhi came back to her senses, there was no trace of the man in front of her. She was stunned when she looked at the open space in front of her.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity, she walked out from behind the rockery, and followed the group of people not too far away and walked forward. Near the entrance of the square, Leng Yun suddenly came to her side:

"Miss~"

When Leng Yun spoke, her voice was obviously breathless. Seeing that there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she nodded and handed her a handkerchief, but did not stop.

After entering the playground, Mu Lianzhi walked towards the exclusive female guest area on the right corner, not far from the seats in the Marquis' Mansion, and chose an inconspicuous seat in the back corner and sat down.

Kneeling down on the mat behind her, Leng Yun brought the kettle and added some water to her, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you do just now?"

"Yingfeng said there was something wrong with your clothes, so he asked me to go back and get your old clothes. I sped up all the way, but I heard the bell ring before I even got to the guest room. He said it was too late, so we had to speed back and wait and see."

After explaining quietly, she continued:

"This is the royal courtyard. There are only clothes for servants. They have no other options. On the way, I took a set of maid's clothes from him and thought I would give them to you in case of emergency. Later, when I met you, I temporarily hid the clothes outside the courtyard."

"It was my fault for being careless. I didn't even ask for the details of such a big matter and almost harmed the young lady."

"Miss, go back and punish this slave again."

Leng Yun turned around and knelt down, but Mu Lianzhi's hand under the table gently pressed her:

"No, thank goodness for you. This is something none of us expected. You take a rest. We will probably have to be even more alert later."

The two exchanged glances secretly, and Leng Yun nodded:

"Yes."

Soon, the seats were filled with people.

Mu Lianzhi took a quick look and found that not everyone had the costumes. Most of the people who changed into costumes were young women with outstanding looks in the upper positions. One family obviously had two young ladies, but only one of them changed into the costumes. At this time, the mistresses in the front row were all chatting and laughing, and they didn't seem to feel anything was wrong or suspicious at all.

It seems that many people have an idea of ​​this.

Strange~

Ling Feier also changed into it, which meant that the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion or Jiang Shi should know something about it. But neither of them sent anyone to remind her or inform her?

Is it because he doesn't know or is he afraid of offending people, or does he actually want to take the opportunity to get rid of her?

Don’t they think that if Ling Feier puts on this dress they’ll have another backer?

If she remembered correctly, Ling Feier seemed to have finally married the second son of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, named Liao or something. Relying on the steadily prosperous relationship between the Marquis' Mansion and her son-in-law's family, the Ministry of Rites, she was able to marry into a good position.

Less than three years later, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue took advantage of the opportunity and was promoted to the rank of Shangshu. At that time, she happened to have just given birth to a son, who was said to be a lucky charm for her husband. Both mother and son became much more powerful and became the most powerful people in the Shangshu's mansion. Their fame even surpassed that of the eldest son.

In order to maintain her wealth and glory, Ling Feier had secretly planned to use her to help the Ministry of Revenue quell disasters and write a merit book.

She wasn't sure whether her second son knew the truth, but the two seemed to be very affectionate, just short of being a model couple.

Speaking of which, the original owner of the entire Marquis' Mansion is really a love-brained, saintly person, a resentful person, and cannon fodder. Everyone has become more powerful by stepping on her.

This time, without the returning Ling Wenzhan and the rising Ling Yuchi, she has to rely on this declining marquisate, her younger sister-in-law who married out, and her younger brother-in-law who is not up to par. She wants to see if she is still lucky enough to marry into the Ministry of Households.

As I was thinking, a voice came:

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen Mother has arrived—"
