Accidentally dressed as an empress

In the evening, as the sunlight gradually faded, Yunxiu finally left the palace.

"Whoa..." Su Qing pulled the reins and the carriage stopped suddenly.

Yunxiu's body suddenly leaned forward, and she barely managed to hold onto the wall of the carriage to avoid falling.

Yunxiu was displeased. She lifted the curtain and saw a woman in a long green robe standing in front of the horse with her hands outstretched.

A scammer? Yunxiu wanted to tell Su Qing to leave.

"Please wait a moment, sir," the woman in green clothes said. "This young man has a heart attack and has fainted on the side of the road. Please take us to the nearest clinic."

Yunxiu looked at the sack on the woman in green clothes, which contained silver needles, and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

Yunxiu could tell at once that she was a doctor, but she couldn't tell the identity of the man she was half-holding. He was in his early twenties, wearing an apricot-pink dress. This was the second man she had seen who could pull off a pink dress.

Yunxiu asked Su Qing to put down the carriage stool and let the people get on the carriage. She asked the doctor, "We are not relatives, so why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

The doctor's temperament was gentle, like a breeze in the forest. He said, "If I don't save him, who else can?"

Yunxiu smiled, and with the heart of a doctor, she asked, "What's your name, doctor?"

The doctor said, "My name is Zhou Jing, thank you very much."

Yunxiu just nodded slightly and didn't answer.

Su Qing whipped his horse whip and drove a cart of people to the nearest clinic.

The system suddenly appeared and said, "Congratulations to the host for encountering the second SSR, Liu Jin."

Yunxiu was confused. [Who?]

[The one lying half-dead with his eyes closed is Qingfeng Tower's top courtesan, Liu Jin.]

The carriage wheels revolved and stopped at the door of Yu's Clinic at the corner.

Zhou Jing carried her patient down from the carriage and walked into the clinic. She asked directly, "Doctor, do you have Chuanxiong, borneol, musk, or toad venom?"

"Both." The male doctor with dark brown curly hair nodded. "Is this patient having a heart attack?"

"Yes." Zhou Jing grabbed the pen and quickly wrote out the prescription. Doctor Yu took it and said, "I'll go get the medicine right away."

Zhou Jing took out some change and put it on the counter.

Looking at Zhou Jing's calm expression, Yunxiu originally wanted to reply directly, but she became curious. Could she really save the person?

Zhou Jing said to Su Qing, "Please lend a hand."

Zhou Jing was too exhausted to hold him anymore.

Su Qing easily carried the man to the bed in the inner room. Zhou Jing pulled open the man's collar and gave him another injection.

Liu Jin woke up, feeling a little weak. She bowed and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Zhou Jing sat by the bed and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Doctor Yu walked into the inner room carrying the medicine and said, "The medicine is ready."

Yunxiu watched the excitement for a while and realized that although Zhou Jing was young, she was a man of real ability. And this man who could open a clinic in a country where women were respected must be no ordinary man.

Zhou Jing packed up the silver needles and said, "He's awake now, it's time for me to go."

"Wait." Yunxiu stopped Zhou Jing.

Facing the innocent-looking man in pink lying on the hospital bed, Yunxiu asked, "Do you have anywhere to go?" The man shook his head when he heard that.

"Are you willing to go back home with this benefactor?" Yunxiu pointed at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing retreated as if stung by a wasp, waving her hands. "I'm not married yet, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to bring this man home rashly."

Yunxiu also evaded the question, "If he comes back with me, I don't have any doctors who can treat illnesses. If his illness relapses, I won't be able to save him."

She had just married Zhong Yi, and she brought someone back home less than half a month after the wedding. She was afraid that she would be drowned in the Zhong family's spit.

The system muttered in a devilish voice, [Host, host, why don't you take it back? What a great opportunity.]

Yunxiu ignored him completely, showing off her insulator nature. Bringing him back would mean another person, another mouth to feed. No way.

The system is choking. [You don't even want the peach blossoms that are delivered to your door? ]

[No.] Yunxiu refused firmly.

Zhou Jing thought about it and finally said, "Then he should go to my place."

Yunxiu nodded and said, "If you run into trouble in the future, you can come to the Grand Princess's residence to find me."

Zhou Jing saluted, "I am Zhou Jing, an apprentice of the Imperial Hospital, and I am honored to meet His Highness."

Yun Xiu smiled calmly and said, "No need to be polite. Doctor Zhou's medical skills are superb. I am amazed."

"Your Highness has given you the compliment."

Yunxiu said, "It's getting late. I'll take you back to the Zhou Mansion."

Zhou Jing helped Liu Jin up and followed her into the carriage.

The carriage was very quiet. Half an incense stick later, they arrived at Zhou's house and Zhou Jing and Yunxiu said goodbye.

Yunxiu then spoke to the system, "Tongzi, you said he was that courtesan. He must have just escaped, right? Who should we ask to dance at the banquet?"

[Host, don't worry. Someone will replace you in Qingfeng Tower.]

The system turned out the SSR again. Yunxiu took a glance at it. The man on the card was wearing an apricot-colored long skirt with his collar half open, dancing and spinning.

What's the point of this being considered an SSR? Her dancing is captivating at first sight? Is the system ranking based on beauty?

The monitoring system was on, and Yunxiu felt relieved when she saw Zhou Jing persuading Zhou's mother to let Liu Jin stay.

Yunxiu asked Su Qing to hurry back home.

A carrier pigeon fluttered over the sky above the eldest princess's mansion. Su Er picked up a stone and knocked the pigeon down, so he could have another meal.

Su Er took the silk book from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and looked at it for a while. He rubbed it casually, then thought again, "I'd better keep it and wash off the ink. Maybe it can still be used."

Su Er casually threw the bamboo tube into the carp pond.

The carps thought it was food and scrambled for it.

Su Er squatted beside the fish pond and said, "Silly fish, you're eating this too. Aren't you afraid of dying of stuffiness?"

...........................

After Lin Zichen left the Imperial Prison, he was urgently summoned back to Beiling by his mother to guard Yixiantian. Upon hearing that Zhong Yi had appeared at the eldest princess' residence, he sent people to investigate, and learned from the Zhong family that he had married into the eldest princess's residence.

Lin Zichen's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. She quickly wrote a letter to Zhong Yi, asking him why he didn't wait for her.

Unexpectedly, the message fell on deaf ears. All the carrier pigeons were intercepted by Su Er, who also made pigeon soup.

Zhong Yi didn't receive the letter at all, so he didn't reply.

Lin Zichen became anxious and sent a servant from the Lin family to deliver a visiting card to the eldest princess's residence.

After receiving the visiting card, Zhong Yi did not reply.

Naturally, he had to wait for his wife to come back and let her make the decision, otherwise he would be suspected of giving and receiving things privately.

Yunxiu finally returned home.

Zhong Yi had already finished dinner and was making bamboo lanterns with Su Da. He had nothing to do during the day, so he took the time to cut two hibiscus branches and put them in a ceramic vase.

Yunxiu, who had finished get off work late, returned to Zhongxiuyuan and saw them so leisurely, working on their crafts. She, on the other hand, had to get up early and go to court every day, manage the affairs of the Grand Princess's residence, and worry about money, which made her feel unbalanced.

The system comforted her, saying, "In a world where women are respected, women are responsible for the outside world and men are responsible for the inside world. Men are responsible for looking beautiful, while women are responsible for making money to support the family. This is only natural."

[Actually, Zhong Yi and the others were planning to hang up a few more lanterns for the banquet.]

Zhong Yi was very perceptive. As soon as he saw her, he stood up and greeted her, "Your Highness is back? You have worked hard."

Yunxiu suddenly felt relieved and said, "Ayi, please help me take care of the banquet arrangements. Keep track of every purchase."

"Yes."

Of course, good labor should be used. Doing everything by yourself will only exhaust yourself.

Zhong Yi was efficient and in just a short while, he had already compiled the guest list for the banquet and showed it to her.

Yunxiu glanced over and saw quite a few familiar faces: the Third Emperor's daughter Yun Ji, the daughter of the Grand Tutor Gu Yun, the daughter of the Grand Minister of Justice Li Xian, the daughter of the Imperial Physician Zhou family Zhou Jing, and also Lin Zichen, the daughter of the Grand Marshal Lin Yan.

The daughter of the Grand Tutor was the original owner's study partner when he was a child, but they haven't been in touch since she traveled through time.
